Out of the Blue by Kathryn Nolan
4.0
surfer x bodyguard and they are ex husband and wife?? hell yes. THIS BOOK WAS EXACTLY WHAT I HOPED IT WOUDL BE.
This book was the perfect second chance romance, I was in the mood for (thank you T for the recommendation <3 ).
Serena and Cope fell madly in love with each other and got married when they were 24.
Now, 4 years later, they haven’t seen or talked to each other in those years. Serena made it to the top and is a pro surfer now. Cope is a hot bodyguard.
And suddenly their paths cross again: Cope is assigned as Serena’s security guard.
Whilst the pining and longing in this book isn’t particularly angsty, it’s instantly tension on level 10/10. The flirty banter and feelings that never went away are palpable from the first page they meet again. The air around those two is constantly charged with longing and sexual tension.
But they didn’t break up for no reason, so it’s also old fights heating up again. But those two have grown older and wiser and it’s beautiful to see them work on the problems they had in the past and not being willing to let the same thing separate them again.
The problem many have with second chance romance is… they did break up. Why am I supposed to believe as a reader, that it’s happy ending now? The author did a phenomenal job portraying both of their character developments. They realize they needed that break to grow as people and be stronger together now.
Their romance was beautiful to read about. It’s feelings and emotions and healthy communication. It’s soulmates meeting again and not being willing to loose each other a second time.
And alongside that pure love blossoming again, you get woman surfer action. Female empowerment. Their fight to get recognized as athletes and not only nice bodies to look at. Serena doesn’t shut up about problems and uses her platform to bringing attention to things like sexism and discrimination in the surfer world.
Overall a highly enjoyable read with captivating writing and an exciting story! I haven’t read any book by Kathryn Nolan before, but im definitely going to check out some now! She knows what she’s doing as an author!
