Can a no-strings attached holiday fling really just stay casual?
Olivia is a fiercely independent woman climbing the ladder of corporate finance. But when her family demands she take time off to go to her niece’s bachelorette and wedding in Nantucket, she reluctantly agrees.
On the island, she catches the eye of Connor: a handsome, cocky, playboy type—also ten years her junior. Olivia’s sisters egg her on, encouraging a summer fling, but she’s more interested in catching up on her finance reading. Except…he’s funny and sexy, and doing her ego a world of good.
As their attraction steadily grows, Connor gets Olivia to relax her tightly held control and indulge in the fling she won’t admit she needs. But too soon, the holiday is over and they’re back home, living two very different lives.
And yet, neither can ignore the intense chemistry that didn’t go away after the summer. Are they just a Nantucket fling… or something much more?
What did I think?
I don't think I will ever get tired of reading a Kathryn Freeman book and I loved my virtual trip to Nantucket in her latest romantic novel, A Nantucket Fling.
Olivia knows what she wants from life and it's to succeed in her career so she doesn't have time for romance and she has barely enough time for her family. Olivia does book some holiday from her job in London to celebrate her niece's wedding in Nantucket and whilst she's on holiday there's no harm in having a fling.
Oooh Connor is a bit of an enigma as it looks like he's young and fancy free but he has a completely different life back home in England. The chemistry between Olivia and Connor virtually sizzles off the page and in an unusual twist at the end of the holiday it's Connor who wants more than just a fling with Olivia. Olivia stands her ground though and puts her career before her personal happiness once again.
Olivia's work/life balance is completely unbalanced and that’s a personal choice that she has made. It must be something to do with jobs in finance as I was exactly the same back in my youth. I'm glad Connor persisted, with a little help from Olivia's family, and helped to balance that scale back to where it should be.
Incredibly romantic and heartwarming, A Nantucket Fling is a fun and flirty romance that reminds us that, although careers are important, there really is more to life than work.
I received a digital ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
