No time to really let the relationship sink in and the main plot's issue was resolved in less than an evening. It was a cute novella but at no point did I feel absorbed by it.
I find that sometimes, everything happens too quickly and lacks development.and here, I really felt it. I have a love-hate relationship with insta-love/lust romances. I honestly don't have much to say about this little story. Nothing really stood out about him, we didn't get much of a background nor why he even fell in love with Olivia. With the blurb, I pictured him to be commanding and possessive, but instead, he was just sweet and slightly OTT. I was a bit disappointed by Gideon who was nowhere near what I was expecting him to be like. Pretty much the only quote that stood out to me, and it was between Olivia and Mags, the old lady she's taking care of. “What am I, a bee? Get me to that game, Olivia.” “Wouldn’t you rather go out into the gardens? Check out the new flowers? Breathe the fresh air?” I wanted her to resist him longer but sadly, she didn't need much persuasion. I thought she'd be more fiesty and set against Gideon but she was so easily swayed that it's not even funny. Olivia was sweet young woman who took care of an old lady in a residence, or something like that. What she doesn't expect is for him to ask her on a date. Two weeks later, she sees that there are plans to make the beach a touristic area and she decides to go straight to Gideon to defend her little piece of heaven. The premise for Beach Baby is that Olivia attracts the eye of a handsome and rich property developer, Gideon, when she's on her way to her secret place. You don't have to read it first, but it's mentioned in it that Olivia found a little secret beach that she goes to every day after work. This novella is about Olivia, Elsie's sister from Pool Girl.
