Love in the Moment by Elena Aitken Book Summary

The series that readers are calling, "touching, funny, sweet and gut-wrenching all mixed together." By USA Today Bestselling Author, Elena Aitken!
 
She can’t get over the past. He's falling for a lie. Is their love strong enough to survive the truth?
 
 
With a hot new look, and an even hotter new social media career, Gwen is barely recognizable from the overweight, awkward girl she’d been the last time she spent a summer in the resort town of Cedar Springs. And that’s exactly what she’s counting on. Gwen knew there was a chance she’d run into the boy who broke her heart all those years ago, but she wasn’t prepared for the man he’d become—or the fact that he doesn’t remember her at all.
 
It’s been ten years since Ian McCormick has been back in town and he’s more than ready to put his family drama behind him, start a new business and maybe even have a little fun. And what better way to enjoy summer at the lake than with the gorgeous brunette he can’t stop thinking about?
 
It was just supposed to be a fun little experiment for her followers. A test to see if looks really do matter. Would Ian be interested the new and improved version of her after all these years?
It was perfect. 
At least until all the feelings she thought were long dead, come rushing back. And once the plan is in motion, she can’t back out. With their hearts on the line, can Gwen continue to play a game that could devastate them both and destroy the only real chance at love she’s ever had?

Best love story out!. What a fantastic read. One we can all relate to. Thanks!,

Sweet new series. I always enjoy Elena Aitken's books. She has a natural ability of drawing you into the lives of her characters, opening the reader up to the emotional journey each experiences throughout her stories. I thoroughly enjoyed her newest book. The characters and the story were well developed and all too real. There was so much to love about Love in the Moment! The relationship between Gwen and Ian, the family dynamics that I'm sure we will get more of in the future as Elena continues with The McCormicks, Gwen's growth through her writing in terms of her self awareness and acceptance, and the relationships with the people of Cedar Springs. What a wonderful place to live! The people there are so accepting and loving, even when you are showing your worst self. I was so excited to finally get Ian's story! We first met him at the end of Summit of Passion, and I just knew he was going to be lovable. He may seem a little jaded at first, but we quickly see him open up to the possibilities of and embracing love and family. Poor Gwen had so many things stacked against her. She was constantly on edge, trying to figure out what to do with the path she was on. She forced to question it all. Gwen had to decide what was best for herself, all the while trying to please her readership and her agent. And what started out as a simple "experiment" quickly became all too real. I had this horrible foreboding through most of this book. I was so worried about what Gwen's deception was going to do to Ian. It's obvious that he's a good guy and has had to deal with so much in terms of his family. I believed his history with Gwen was shaped by that experience. If only she would have been honest from the start, so much pain and heartbreak could have been avoided. And while this story may be a bit predictable as to the train wreck you can see coming a mile away, it was about the journey and the growth of her characters that had me reading until the last page.

Great start to a new series. Gwen was a hard character to warm up to. She comes to town after many years away, 100lbs lighter and with a loyal following to her self-help and inspirational blog. But she hasn't come as far as she thinks she has, in my opinion. It was a roller coaster of like/dislike for me and Gwen. That said, I did really like Ian! I thought he was sweet and honest and I very much liked the development of his relationship with his sister Chelsea...who acted much younger than her 22 years at the beginning. Over all I enjoyed the storyline, which was fresh and a different twist on the second chance trope. The writing, as with all of Elena's books, was great. I look forward to the next book in the series...I hope it's the two we got to meet in this one! I received an ARC for an honest review, all opinions ar my own.

This book is sooooo bad. And there isn’t a thing I can say good about it. Gwen has some totally screwed up problems. She’s immature to start off, shes so full of herself, it makes her look fat. She’s still obsessed with a guy from high school that just wasn’t into her and lo and behold, doesn’t even recognize her. Thank goodness this was a freebie!

Good read. This was very enjoyable, there is a good story and a little steam. Also, touches on each of our personal insecurities. Good read and worth the time spent.

A great start to a new series. Love in the Moment begins a new series for Elena Aitken and I was excited to be given an opportunity to read and to review it. I am a fan of Elena’s writing and this book did not disappoint. Gwen is a blogger… she writes about her journey from being an overweight teen who lived a life of being the brunt of jokes (i.e “Giant Gigi”) to being a confident healthy woman who has tried to put those years of torment behind her. She comes home to spend some time in a small town where she spent her summers as a child and the last person she expected to run into as she stepped off the bus was Ian McCormick. Ian and Gwen have a history… he broke her heart one summer and even though she recognized him right away, he had no clue who she was. His lack of recognition spurs her into writing about him in her blog.. she calls him “Mr. Summer” and begins to share with her readers their story and how she feels about seeing him again. Ian senses that he knows her but does not realize who she is even as they spend time together and their feelings for each other begin to grow. When he reveals things from his past that explain why he “broke” her heart, her guilt over dissing him in her blog begins to eat away at her. When he discovers her true identity, he feels deceived and all seems lost. The book is well written and the characters seemed real. Their emotions were palpable and the climax to the story is believable. I recommend this book and look forward to the next one in the series.

Ian and Gwen. I absolutely loved the start to Elena Aitken's new series. Ian and Gwen knew each other years ago, but Ian doesn't recognize her ten years later, when she returns to Cedar Springs. Ian is starting a new business and Gwen is taking a break and working on her blog. She agrees to help Ian with the administrative side. They grow closer and Gwen continues to write on her blog, where Ian is Mr. Summer. What is going to happen when Ian finds out? I won't leave any spoilers, but I will say everyone needs to one-click this book and meet their new BBF! He also has brothers, so you know we'll get to read about them too! After all, this is the McCormicks Book one! Hopefully, the next book will be about Mitch McCormick!

Love in the MOment. Love in the Moment by Elena Aitken is book 1 of her new The McCormicks series. The four McCormick brothers spent their summers in Cedar Springs at their family cabin with their mom. Ten years ago, their dad informed his mom that he had been leading a double life, having two families. At that point he was leaving his wife and sons to marry his mistress and mother of two daughters. After all these years, Ian McCormick, the oldest brother, decides to return to Cedar Springs and open a new business. He decided to put the past behind him and start having a little fun, like the good old days. Meeting his youngest sister, Chelsea, at the bus depot, he accidently meets up with a beautiful brunette. Gwen Henderson was known as Gigantic Gigi back when she spent her summers with her grandmother in Cedar Springs. She was overweight, awkward, and embarrassed of how she looked. She was also in love with Ian. He paid attention to her and they spent many days just talking. Now Gwen is one hundred pounds lighter, with a gorgeous new look and a successful social media career. She returned to Cedar Springs to spend her summer with her friend Deanna. Gwen knew there was a chance of running into Ian, but she was unprepared for him to have no idea who she was or the man he had become. Gwen creates what seems an innocent experiment performed solely for the benefit of her social media followers. She believed that maybe it would give her the closure she felt she needed. Gwen wanted to find out if Ian was interested in the new and improved version of her. She thought it was the perfect idea. That is, until all her old feelings for Ian return with a vengeance. She has no idea how to stop this roller coaster as Ian starts falling for her and she for him. Would this game destroy them and any chance at a loving relationship? It was difficult to like Gwen. Her plan smacked of sexism and was insulting to Ian. It also made me wonder what happened to the self-confidence she was exhibiting after her weight loss. I didn’t understand what she would gain by sharing her plan with her followers. I also wasn’t sure which person was the real Gwen. This was a fun and entertaining story with likeable characters that you want to support and cheer on, hoping for that happy ending. The characters were well written, authentic and complex. The story line was riveting and kept my attention to the very end. I genuinely enjoyed reading this book and had trouble putting this book down. I definitely recommend this book to other readers.

The magic is back in Cedar Springs!!. Where to start! What a great book as usual! Ian and Gwen are just the best!! When they both returned to Cedar Springs the sparks flew. I just could not stop reading this one! Many things to overcome andI certainly can feel for what Gwen lived through growing us. Her blog being so helpful for her and so happy for her to be able to overcome everything. Ian certainly had his share of problems growing up but both are able to overcome the issues. Well, maybe! Cedar Springs always brings out the best for everyone. Many of the characters from previous books made an appearance and its always great to read about them again! Elena did it again....brought the magic back again! 5+++++

Wonderful beginning to a new series. Elena has done it again, she has managed to write another story that has left me emotionally drained (I cried) and uplifted. This love story between Ian and Gwen starts out with Gwen's deception. Ian doesn't recognize her from ten years before. Gwen uses her perceived rejection by Ian to exact revenge now. The backstory of how Gwen changed herself physically was well developed unfortunately Gwen did not heal emotionally. She allowed her teenage grudge to dictate her relationship with Ian. Ok, I have to stop or I will give everything away. I really enjoyed this story and going back to Cedar Springs just made it better. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!. This is my first book by Elena Aitken and it will most definitely NOT be my last!!! Wonderfully and beautifully written, this book had me from beginning to end. Heartbreaking and heartwarming, I loved every word. I cannot wait to read more!!!

Sweet moment. I love being back in Cedar Springs and being apart of an amazing town!!! Ian was a summer regular and is back to start a new business and begin a new life, what better then a little fun with a hot chick he met at the bus picking up his sister!!! Gwen was an occasional summer regular and has changed alot since her last stay in Cedar Springs and catching up with Ian was not part of her plan but it will make summer fun!!! A sweet romance a bit of a challenge and happily ever after!!!

Adorable story. I got an arc copy of the story Very touching to everyone story little steam action but really love how it played out awesome work and bring on the next one

Don't waste your time. This book is really stupid on so many levels. First the main character supposedly lost 75 to 100 pounds yet her body is described as perfect which is not reality. Anyone after that weight loss has tons of extra skin. Second, the little sister who is 22! Acts like she is 12 not 22. So many things are so stupid and so far-fetched it's not an enjoyable story

Love in the Moment - Finding Love in the Right Place!. Beautiful written story about Ian & Gwen. It's a heartwarming & intriguing story of feelings of the past being forced to rekindle. Family dynamics of the past, play such a significant part of both of their lives. Insecurities, hurtful pasts, & learning to trust, make the familiar characters of previous books complete. Love Elena's writings. 5 stars!

Love in the Moment. This is very much a romantic story with a happy ending you have written it very well with a happy ending , thank you so very much ❤️🌸🌺🥰

A good addition to the series. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book very much, but feel that it could have been expanded a little. Ian's half-sister Chelsea is sent to stay with him for the summer, Ian has agreed that she can come, and finds a job for her waitressing at the Grizzly Paw, and I know this is not her story but it would have been interesting to learn a little bit more about her. Ian comes across as a lovely man, he is very hard working, as he was pretty much forced to be when his father left them for his other family, leaving his mother with little support and four sons to bring up. His hard work has made him quite wealthy, and he comes back to Cedar Springs and opens up the family cabin, where they had spent long, happy summers when he was a boy. The town has started to pick up, with new businesses starting; and he decides to buy the marina, which has long been run down, spruce it up and make a thriving business of it. He meets Gwen briefly when he picks Chelsea up from the bus station. He does not recognise her as Gigi, the fat girl who had been a friend when they were younger, but she recognises him. Of course they meet again, and he remains unaware that he broke her heart when she was eighteen. There are several hiccups in their relationship, before we get to a happy ending, but angst is something that Elena writes rather well A good read for a lazy day.

Love In the Moment. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Is it good to hold a grudge for 10 years and beat yourself up over it, that's what Gwen has been doing. Even though she wasn't a local her summers were spent at Cedar Springs and she became friends with everyone. Back then she was an overweight self conscious girl with a crush on Ian McCormick, she was left devastated after he stood her up. Gwen now has a successful blog about her life and how she lost weight and gained confidence, she comes back to Cedar Springs to visit her best friend now knowing that Ian is back too. Once she sees him all of her old feelings arise again, but Ian doesn't remember her. She really wants to get back at him for hurting her all those years ago, but the longer she stays the deeper her feelings become and they don't seem to be one sided. After a few mishaps and long talks the truth comes out as to why Ian never showed up. Can their new found love survive all of this? I can't wait for the next book in this great series.

Ian and Gwen. This is an enjoyable read. Ian and Gwen return to the town they spent their summers in when they were teenagers, but they have both changed. Gwen was an overweight teen but she has worked hard to change herself and when Ian doesn't recognise her she uses it to her advantage. You know this is not going to end well but the story keeps you engaged to the very end. I look forward to more of this series.

Love in the moment. Very enjoyable
