Winter blues? Read a summer book!

It's cold, windy and there's a snow/sleet ice storm predicted here in Maryland this weekend. When that happens, I love to curl up with a book that's set in the summer. How about you? Do you like to read books about summer during the winter?
We're chatting about this very topic today at Coffee Time Romance. Hope you'll join us and help celebrate the release of my debut novel BENEATH THE SURFACE (which, coincidentally, takes place in the hot Florida sunshine). See you there!
