Nate and Olivia have been together for more than
a decade, with respective careers and two
young kids keeping them busy. Their life
together as a couple started as friends with
benefits, but soon progressed to something
much deeper and loving. Now, looking back at
a decade of marriage Olivia feels they are
growing apart or maybe something is slowly
tearing them apart. It's Olivia's birthday
soon and they recently had a very lackluster
anniversary pass by them. With a major
milestone approaching Liv decides to have it
out with Nate. Next they are having a fight,
pacifying their terrified kids, and Liv's
friends are planning her 40th. Nate might just
surprise her and whisk her off to a much
needed couple time.
ON HART'S BOARDWALK is a novella about the
couple getting their marriage back on track.
Their love story is a whole length novel part
of the On Dublin Street series by the
author
Samantha Young. However, this novella is a
story in and of itself. If you haven't read the
series, it will not take away from the current
story.
I enjoyed how these characters hash out their
distance and remind each other how much love
they have for each other. Of course there is
a fair amount of steamy scenes which were vital
for Nate and Olivia as a couple. Their
chemistry no doubt shines through and made my toes curl a
few times. I loved their story
of coming together and it was a pleasure to
meet them and some of the other characters of
the series again.
As a novella, ON HART'S BOARDWALK is a great option as a quick,
refreshing, feel good read.
Nate and Liv have a great life together but they miss the
spontaneity and freedom they enjoyed early on in their
romance. Careers and their children have inevitably kept
them busy, so when Nate discovers Liv is feeling
disconnected from him, he plans an anniversary trip to the
idyllic seaside town of Hartwell, Delaware. There he hopes
they will have the opportunity they've been craving--a
chance to reinvent themselves and fall in love all over
again.
With each new day comes a new adventure, from wedding
crashing at the five-star boardwalk hotel to pretending
they are two strangers having a chance encounter at the
boardwalk bar. In the midst of this daring, sexually-
charged game of romantic rediscovery, Nate and Liv discover
the only constant they need is each other.
