Have you ever walked into someone's house for the first time and just felt so at home? It feels so comfortable that you just want to stay. This is what happens to Jessica when she visits the seaside town called Hartwell, everything about it just feels so right. The people, the buildings and the warm feeling in her chest lulls her into a wonderful sense of security so she books a room at the local inn and immerses herself into Hartwell.

Jessica did have a reason for her visit, to hand deliver some 40 year old unposted letters to one of the local residents but that was just the catalyst for her journey. She had no idea just how life changing this holiday would be for her. It all begins when she meets Cooper, the local bar owner. The sexy, gorgeous, recently divorced Cooper Lawson.

There is definitely an instant attraction between Cooper & Jessica, she is like a breath of fresh air and she seems to awaken something in him, something he hasn't felt in a long time. He knows that he is risking his heart, the more time he spends with her but he just can't help himself and maybe she is worth the risk. Jessica has never felt what she is feeling for Cooper, there is no harm in having a sexy holiday fling right? However, she wasn't prepared for just how deep and fast the feelings between them would develop.

'Even dressing had become erotic to me. It was like Cooper had awakened something in my blood, and just the whisper of my fingers across my skin, the brush of fabric as it touched my body, set off memories of his mouth, his hands, him thrusting inside of me. Oh boy.'

Jessica has a secret from her past that she is ashamed of. She has nightmares about it and now it is affecting her relationship with Cooper. He wants her to be open and honest with him, he needs it to move forward because it will prove to him that she completely trusts him. Jessica is convinced that opening herself up like that to anyone will only end in heartache for her. She is also learning that when you live in a small town, everyone seems to know your business - even your most private. There are other people with their own personal agendas who are determined to interfere in her happiness too. Maybe coming to Hartwell was a mistake?

This was a fabulous start to this new series from Samantha, I cannot wait to read more about the people of Hartwell :-)

The One Real Thing Hart Boardwalk Samantha Young 9780349412580 Books Reviews

3 - "If you're destined for true love, you'll find it on the boardwalk..." Stars.

The first book in Samantha Young’s new Hart’s Boardwalk series offers an interesting introduction to the seaside town and its residents through the telling of Jessica and Cooper's story.

It’s been a while since I have read anything by Samantha Young, in fact it is approaching the three years mark, so to say that my reading tastes may have changed in the interim is most definitely true, but I also wonder if the author’s writing style has in that time as well.

"Only time will tell."

The One Real Thing is one of those books that from the synopsis I expected to fall into hook, line and , I am a reader that is all about the series trope of being set in a small town, and covering a different couple in each progressive book, and although the author set things up perfectly in that sense, I actually found the main story between Jess and Coop to be a little lacking… in everything really.

"It’s never too late to change the road that you’re on."

Both had backgrounds that implied a lot of drama, but to be honest as secrets were revealed and reaction to situations were clarified, I just struggled to find much depth in their reasoning for things. The sex was plentiful once it got going, but lacked for me any connection, and the selective communication about certain things from both sides as things progressed between them got a little frustrating.

"Communication is the key."

The secondary drama with exes seemed superfluous, and the side drama with the Devlin family at this point does show promise, especially when you add the elusive millionaire Vaughn Tremaine into the picture, and the rest of the business owners along the boardwalk. I liked this side of the book a lot more to be honest, with the set up and introduction of a handful of characters that I hope will have their own stories told as the series progresses.

"I don’t know your secrets… But from your reaction, I know you have them."

The One Real Thing wasn’t by any stretch a struggle too read, but for me I just found it lacked a lot of emotional depth, the first half more-so than the second. I’m my head everything was coming across in monotone, as if the writing and characters voices had lost their color. The author has skills at weaving a story together with many aspects and components in the mix, I just wanted a little more depth and feeling between the lead characters in this one.

"I’m not too big on drama."

Bailey Hartwell is up next, with her story coming to the fore in Every Little Thing, due for release in March 2017. She figured quite a bit in this book, but there were more questions raised than answers given for her, so I am interested to see where the author takes her story. There are also a few secondary characters whose side-stories were running concurrently that I am looking forward to catching up with as well.

Always love everything by this author!
Yet another enchanting story by Samantha Young. From the first page I was hooked I could not put it down. If you loved the On Dublin Street series then you will love this I cannot wait for the rest in the series.
I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the second one in the series
