The Boardwalk Antiques Shop

by Julie Wright, Melanie Jacobson and Heather B. Moore

Boardwalk Antiques Shop 
A Tangerine Street Romance 
(a novel in three parts) 

Welcome to Tangerine Street 

Tangerine Street is a must-see tourist stop with a colorful mix of one-of-a-kind boutiques, unique restaurants, eclectic museums, quaint bookstores, and renowned bed-and-breakfasts. The Boardwalk Antiques Shop is an exclusive shop where every antique has a story, and each story possesses the gift to match true love. The customer who buys an antique also buys its story and soon discovers that its story unites the past with the present, creating an unexpected romantic future…

“Where Every Antique has a Story”

MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE: Jennifer is newest owner of The Boardwalk Antiques Shop, inherited from her aunt. When Jennifer arrives in Seashell Beach, her first priority is to meet with a realtor to sell the place. She laughs out loud when she discovers the realtor’s name is Mr. Studly. But the more Jennifer gets to know Paul Studly, the more she finds reasons to stay and run the antiques shop herself.

SOLVING FOR X: Abbie is only a little bit obsessed with antiques, okay, a lot. So when Holden, an out-of-town business executive, tries to purchase the tin soldiers that Abbie’s had her eye on, Abbie refuses to back down. The antiques shop owner issues a challenge: whoever comes up with the best story for wanting the soldiers, will become the new owner. Abbie isn’t about to let some fancy executive beat her out, no matter how charming he is.

A STITCH IN TIME: When Cate learns that antiques dealer Henry Lancaster has purchased the sewing machine left to her by her grandmother, Cate is determined to get it back. What she isn’t counting on is that Henry has just as much claim as Cate. And it doesn’t help that Henry is good-looking and apparently single. Getting to know Henry becomes an unexpected surprise, sending her life into a sudden detour.

My Review

I absolutely adored this sweet romance book and am so sad that I haven’t read The Fortune Cafe yet! I will be doing that as soon as I can get my hands on it! The Boardwalk Antiques Shop is the second book in the Tangerine Street Romance Series, though each of the stories stand on their own. They are connected through characters that make appearances in all of the books. 
 
The stories in this book made me want to pack up and move to this town by the ocean…okay, I wanted to do that WAY before these but you get the point. I want to live in this book. I want to visit the shops and be friends with the main characters. I want to eat at The Fortune Cafe and have a cookie and the amazing food. If you haven’t gotten the hint yet, I love the setting for this book! And the characters! And everything about it! 
 
Jennifer, Abbie and Cate are amazing characters. They jump into your heart quickly in the short time that we get to be acquainted with them. Paul, Holden and Henry are great romantic interests for each girl though I think Paul is my favorite.  The romances do move quickly, but that is typical for shorter stories. Just live with it 🙂 This is a sweet and clean romance that will leave you wishing for more!
