Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the free review copy of A Shore Thing! All opinions are completely my own.
A Shore Thing is a romance story that takes on a Reality TV/Survivor theme. As a Survivor fan, I really enjoyed this aspect of it, even though it was pretty different from the show. I found the author’s writing to be very readable and inviting. Even though the book was shorter than most books I read, it still felt complete. I wasn’t all that surprised about some of the things that happened, and I thought the end conflict was resolved easier than expected, but those things didn’t really take away from my enjoyment of the story. While I didn’t always love how the MMC acted, I felt like his character improved, and I was glad to see an explanation about some of his more questionable actions. I was impressed with the character development of the other show contestants in the book, and grew to like them even though I didn’t think I would at first. Overall this was a fun escape, especially during the cold winter!
