This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
Jessica Huntington, is a doctor at the women's correctional facility and even though its not her "dream" job, she knows its where she's needed. But what surprises her, is when she finds four letters from an inmate years ago, whose story is heartbreaking and calls out to Jessica. So with vacation time coming up, she decides to go to the coastal town of Hartwell, and deliver the love letters to the man that deserves them. What Jessica doesn't plan on, is finding a home on Hartwell and a group of friends to call her own and a sexy bar owner she doesn't think she will be ever to forget. Cooper is recovering from a bad marriage and doesn't know if he is ready to let another woman into his life and into his heart. But Jessica calls something to him that he has never known, but she keeps a part of herself away from him. Will Jessica be honest with Cooper and give him her full heart or lose him forever...
What a story and a great beginning to what I think will be a great series. I was lucky enough to get a audio copy through my local library for this story, and boy was it worth the wait. Samantha Young has outdid herself with The One Real Thing. It sets off with our heroine Jessica. Now Jessica, she has secrets of her own, secrets that she keeps very well hidden. She has to face some painful things in her past and it begins with finding lost love letters, letters that Jessica can't help but feel a kinship with. She knows she must give them to the man they were intended for. Then upon her arrival to Hartwell, she meets Cooper. Now these two have some great chemistry. I really couldn't help but feel captivated by these two. Both of these characters, have some tough pasts, but Jessica holds back more than Cooper does. It was really interesting to see these two figure out their bumpy relationship. This book does tear at your emotions at certain times, which is Samantha Young's style, but I loved the ride that this author gives us. There were also some colorful characters that makes the story more endearing and lively. They bring a good balance to the story. I love the spurts of humor and lightheartedness that we find in this romance. I fell in love quickly with this town and the spunky characters and the charming quality of the setting made for a delightful read.
This was a dual narration, and boy I loved these two together. Both were fantastic, and portrayed the personalities of the characters so well. I really admired the way the let the emotion flow so smoothly.
So pretty and classy and I love the scenery beneath the pair's "almost" kiss!!!
The One Real Thing is full of storms and calm seas....of sensuality and poignant emotion and a story to captivate your heart!
