Love on the Boardwalk Kindle Edition

4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings

Atlantic City is the perfect place for detective Bradley Hudson to nurse his broken heart. A week of beer and strippers is sure to erase his former fiancée from his memory for good. What he didn't count on was running into a sassy redhead from his past. Maybe a rebound romp is an even better plan…

Trina Trimble, private eye in training, is thrilled to be reunited with the hottie she almost hooked up with last summer. She's undercover on her first solo case, but there's always time to lock lips with a sexy cop. Besides, a fun fling with Brad doesn't have to last beyond his week in town.

Brad and Trina are supposed to be just flirting, not forging a new forever. Brad's still healing, and although Trina changes careers the way other women change shoes, she has finally found her calling in her new life of disguises and stakeouts. But when an irresistible job offer threatens to lure her away, Brad will need to decide to let her go or bet it all on love and risk his heart again.

    This was refreshing & funny for me from the start. Even very early on
    I adored the quirky heroine who really borders on being a nut.

    The hero is a hot heartbroken cop who thinks he's humoring her, which made it even better.

    I loved the sexual tension from the beginning. It was hot and made things steamy even before anything actually happened.

    The whole book was zaney, quirky, hot and even sexy! There are many laugh out loud moments from both the hero in the heroine! It was a quick read and it was a fantastic book! I didn't realize this was the second one until I was into it a little bit but I definitely am going to chase down the first book and read it!

    This is one of those rare occasions where I didn't like the book and didn't finish reading it. I have read books by this author before and in the past I have really enjoyed them. This book is intentionally much shorter than the books I normally read by this author, so I think that may have played a role in why I didn't like the book.
    I also really didn't enjoy either of the main characters in this book. Trina came off as very ditzy in the book, very flakey. I also thought that she was exhibiting some traits I normally associate with characters who fit in the "too stupid to live" category, and I can't stand when characters start to cross into that line.
    I also really didn't enjoy the point of view from the guy. The descriptions this guy gives in his point of view did nothing for me, and just in general I didn't think that he was enjoyable as a character. All in all I just didn't really like this book. I am sure there are people who will enjoy this book, but this book just wasn't for me.

    This was my second book by Barth and very different from the first book; much more light-hearted and fun. Love On The Boardwalk is light, fluffy, and fun. While the circumstances are a bit different, Brad and Trina are just ordinary people who could be your neighbors or co-workers. While I occasionally enjoy reading a book with glitz, glamour and rich folks, there’s a glut of those right now and I loved how blue-collar and normal this was. Well, parts of it. I admit I don’t think of a strip club as blue collar though I suppose it probably is.

    Brad is a cop who broke up with his fiancé but he still has the vacation time he took for their honeymoon so he decided to spend it in Atlantic City. I was delighted that Barth didn’t make the ex be some evil cardboard character and that Brad accepted some of the responsibility for their breakup. They both made mistakes and he at least learned from his. He met Trina in a previous book, “Love At High Tide”, but Barth works in the back story. Plus Coop and Darcy, the leads in that book, appear in this one.
    Brad has a fine appreciation for beautiful things:

    He’d look his fill of her creamy breasts every opportunity he got. To ignore their perfections would just be rude. Like staring at your shoes while walking through an art museum.

    Trina bounces around from job to job, never sticking with anything, but just floating. Currently she’s working as an assistant and trainee to a private investigator. She’s enjoying the work and giving serious consideration to doing it full time but she’s worried about some course work she’d have to take. I loved Trina. She comes across as flighty, perky, bubbly, and vivacious, the kind of person who makes me want to run far away in real life but that I enjoy reading about. Perky people are much easier to deal with when they’re fictional and you can close the book on them. But there’s depth to Trina too, as she thinks about the future and whether or not she’s ready to stop changing jobs at the drop of a hat and commit to one job or one career. She’s also funny, snarky, compassionate and sweet.

    “Thanks, but I’ve got a hard and fast rule when it comes to sex. One at a time is enough for me. I don’t think I’d know what to do with all of the extra appendages. It’d be like playing naked Twister. Spin the dial and put your left arm on the red.”

    That just made me bust out laughing and the visual was pretty darn awesome.

    Trina and Brad have been attracted to each other since they met in the first book but the timing was wrong. Now they’re both available, attracted to each other, and the fun begins. The flirting and seducing was fun and hot, and there’s a definite connection and heat between them. I loved watching them play and talk and become closer. Brad is a manly man but Barth shows us another side, too. I adored that while he had doubts about Trina’s skills as an investigator and her ability to stick with one job, he stood by her and didn’t put her down or tell her she couldn’t do it. Oh, and Trina can rescue herself, no white knight needed.

    The mystery is weak at times, though watching Trina put her training into action was entertaining. The romance is cute with some hot scenes, the characters are fun, and I laughed a lot. I enjoyed Love on the Boardwalk and I want to read its predecessor.

    Love on the Boardwalk is the follow up to Love at High Tide. I would say the book is a standalone, however, you might get a little more out of it if you were to read LAHT first. The characters from LAHT make an appearance and events from that book are mentioned often.

    Trina Trimble, is a twenty-seven-year old who changes careers quite often. She has a problem with finding anything that sticks and keeps her attention. She finally thinks she has found her calling as a Private Investigator. Bradley Hudson is a homicide detective with the Maryland State Police. He is still trying to get over his broken engagement to a woman he never really wanted to be married to in the first place. It’s been six months since Brad and Trina first met each other. They have seen each other in passing several times. Brad’s cousin Cooper is dating Trina’s best friend Darcy.

    Love on the Boardwalk finds Trina and Brad both in Atlantic City. Brad is down to let off some steam, since it is the week of his non-existent wedding. Trina is in town working on a surveillance case, as she’s currently a Private Investigator in Training. It’s no secret that the two had an attraction going on the summer before, but they both knew then wasn’t the time to act on it. Trina wants to help Brad get over his broken heart and the two end up spending time together. Trina for all of her indecisiveness when it comes to her career is really very intelligent, and has a big heart. She’s observant and sees things no one else does. While wrapping up the case she’s on at a strip club, Trina senses that something is going on with one of the patrons of the club. Against Brad’s objections, she starts to look into the case, which is actually bigger than anyone ever expected.

    On the surface, Brad and Trina are total opposites. But the cool thing about them is that they are just what the other needs. Trina wants a man who will believe in her and support her no matter what. Brad wants someone to share his job with, someone who actually wants to be with him, and wants to know how his day went. He wants someone who will make him laugh and enjoy life.

    I really enjoyed Love on the Boardwalk even though I had an idea of what to expect from it. I also enjoyed seeing Coop and Darcy from Love at High Tide make a return appearance. I liked watching the relationship of Brad and Trina develop. Most of all, I loved watching the way Brad and Trina forced the other to grow just by listening to and challenging each other.
