Review

“I’ll never stop fighting for you, Liv. Love of my fucking life.” He swiped away my tears. “We’ll make this right.”

4 stars!

Oh Nate Sawyer, book boyfriend of my dreams, how happy I am to see you again!!!

One of the reasons I love reading romance is because of the happy ending. We meet a couple, we fall in love with them, we watch them fall in love, and then they have their HEA. But what happens years down the track when that couple have become stuck in the realities of real life? Well, that is what has happened to one of my all-time favourite couples in this new novella from Samantha Young.

Nate and Olivia rocked my world when we met them in Before Jamaica Lane. They were best friends who were wildly passionate about each other and fell in mad love. Now, it’s 14 years later. They’ve been married for ten years, they have two beautiful girls, and their life is busy with work and their children, with little time for each other. Add in some external drama that has impacted them in a big way, and they are in a rut, still very much in love but feeling a bit lost and alienated from each other.

“Marriages are not perfect because people aren’t perfect. But we’ve recognized our wrongs and we can make this work again.”

To rekindle the spark in their marriage, Nate decides to whisk his wife away to the US for ten days of reconnecting, and so they soon find themselves staying on Hart’s Boardwalk (in a delicious tie-in with Young’s series of the same name), and looking forward to spending some much-needed alone time together.

“I can’t lose you, babe. You’d take my soul with you.”

I really loved this book. I love how in love Nate and Liv still are after all of their time together, I love that the problems they are experiencing are very real ones that probably every married couple can relate to, and I love they are prepared to fight for each other and their life together. And we get to see that in all of its sweet, funny, emotional glory, with lots of seriously steamy, wild monkey sex along the way.

“By the end of this vacation you’ll never doubt my love for you again.”

This is a gorgeous read. I loved being back with Nate and Olivia once again. Their love story is truly special and continues to be so even after all of this time. And there’s even cameos from the rest of the On Dublin Street crew which made this fangirl very happy.

I loved it – 4 stars.
