There’s something about the reality tv fan meets romance reader that just hits right. A Shore Thing combined two of my favorite hobbies into one! Reading Cleo and Lockie’s adventure-turned-love story was a total blast. If this had been a reality tv show in real life, I would have been tuned in each and every week!
I loved the entire cast of characters in this story. There is so much personality in each and every character, and the relationships that develop between Cleo, Lockie, and their cast were so touching. And this story was forced proximity at the very finest. Getting stuck on an island together is a whole other level of forced proximity romance, and I was HERE for it.
Cleo and Lockie’s dynamic is so funny to see, and I really enjoyed watching them come together. A Shore Thing was peak holiday romance, and even though I read it in the winter, it had me feeling ready for all things summer love!

ARC Review: Enter the Villa by Anna Peele
Publication Date: May 19, 2026 As a longtime Love Island fan, Enter the Villa was fascinating. Hearing from production about the stereotypes of various characters on the show, how the show morphed over time, and how the show became the mega popular force it is today was incredibly interesting. It truly was a look behind…
