Another awesome look into the lives of the characters from the TV series The Bold and the beautiful, this time around the focus is on Hope and Oliver.

Hope has learned the hard way that she sucks at relationships and after the latest failed attempt she decides to take off to Australia and attend a fashion shoot, it is for darn sure help get her mind of things.

But it does also involve getting up close and very personal with her former flame Oliver, but hey a girl has to do what a girl has to do.

But Hope and Oliver get stranded on a deserted island due to a massive storm, but is the storm raging away on the outside of the world anything near as out of control as their feelings for each other?

I really, really loved this book. It was so much more intense than the TV series, this author took me deeper and closer to the characters than I have ever been before. I felt their emotion and felt it all come to life.

And such a wonderful message of how just letting someone in for once, can lead to a friendship that can never be destroyed, and a love that will forever blossom, but most importantly how you can see a person in a different light when they are your friend first and then let the rest follow in a nice, natural flow.

I recommend this read for all fans of romance reads, and for those who loved the show and want to get inside the minds behind the faces we just knew on TV.

5/5 star review

A continuation of Hope's saga to find love in all the wrong places. Yes, Hope from the Bold and the Beautiful goes off to Australia on a photo shoot. She runs into Oliver. Due to a freak storm they are stuck on a deserted island together. Love? Friendship? Trust? You'll have to find out for yourself. This is a quick, but enjoyable book.

I bought this because I really wish Hope and Oliver were still together on the show. It was a very quick, light read, filled with typical soap opera goodness. A sort of out of the blue ending that didn't match the pace the rest of the book was taking, but still I enjoyed this. It filled the Hope/Oliver void that I've been missing for several years. We can only hope the showrunners revisit their romance again one day, instead of this never ending triangle of Hope, Liam, and Wyatt (blech!). In the meantime, I hope this author writes another Hope/Oliver novella! I enjoyed this very much - it was a great break from my heavier reading.

Review to come. I'll write a review on this a little later, but it was about what I expected it would be. I think fans of TB&TB will probably appreciate this read more than others. I went into it more as someone who has a casual/every once in a while watch if it's on TV approach. There are quite a bit of characters to keep up with in such a short span, but luckily I felt like the main couple had focus enough to be able to keep track of their respective roles.

It's good to read in the moment or for a fan's perspective, but there are flaws. Hope to expand upon them in the review.

I am a big bold and the beautiful fan so I really liked the premise of new plotlines with some of my favourite characters in it. Lots of back history mentioned that was so familiar to me and then story goes in a new direction to anything covered on the show.

Story has former flames Hope and Oliver rekindling their romance years after they split up.

Some of the dialogue was very mills and boon but I still enjoyed it. I have three more of these to read now!

Amazing book! This needs to be written on the show! Loved it! Of course I'm biased though, I loved Hope/Oliver together! Really wish they'd reunite them and have all the emotion and issues from this book play out on B&B! Would love to see another Hope/Oliver novella. The author did a great job and should really write for the show!
