The first time I read the On Dublin Street, I was addicted. Okay, I will admit I was obsessed with the series and anything related to Samantha Young. Yes, I was that reader who was sad when the series came to an end. Long live Braden and Jocelyn. So as you can tell, I am a BIG Samantha Young fan. I love the way she can make your hearts go pitter patter and at the same time have you blushing. The way she tells a story is somewhat poetic and hypnotizing. Her characters are vibrant and charismatic. And of course, she writes romance that is filled with passion, breathtaking moments, and raw emotions. So when I found out that she was going to write a new series, I was beyond ecstatic. I was that reader who squealed when I got a copy of the book early.
The One Real Thing is a viscerally moving love story that beautifully showcases heart, beauty and understanding. Samantha Young delivers a story that will leave you breathless and smiling big as she paints a literary love story that is timeless and full of charm. With charismatic characters, a unique premise, and a fresh voice, Samantha Young will tether reader’s heart to this tangible and heartfelt small town romance. I have always been a sucker for small town romance. Maybe there is something in the air or the simplicity of the story line but either way, Young has readers like myself smiling big as we hungrily turn the pages. So if you are looking for a romance that was sweet, heartfelt, tangible, palpable, and utterly captivating then I would definitely recommend you to read this book. Get swept away with Young’s vibrant and stunning prose and raw characters.
