Review of Catching Light by Meg Harding



4 stars


Oliver's been stuck in the hell that is writer's block for what feels like ages. He's out of ideas, neglecting his life, and all around losing his mind. His partner has had enough. Adam's tired of watching Oliver stare blankly at the screen. It's time to bring back his spark, and he knows just what to do. A vacation is in order. A beautiful beach, a sparkling waterfall, and lots of love should put everything to right.

Another sweet, sexy short story!  Unlike many other short stories Catching Light doesn’t shove a whole lotta story into a tiny package, Meg Harding concentrates on a week vacation, and it fit perfectly into this charming novella.  

Oliver is a writer and experiencing some hellish writers block, his husband Adam thinks a change of scene will help him get the ideas moving and a story on paper.  Oliver reluctantly agrees and they take off for a week of vacation, hopefully a relaxing time but Adam has other plans.  He schedules, hikes, cliff diving, surfing, snorkeling, and a myriad of other action adventure activities.

This is a sweet story, and although we were slightly confused if Adam and Oliver are living together or married, it is a fun little snippet into an already established relationship.  There is no drama, no angst, and whether in a relationship or not we can all put ourselves in this couple.  They sneak kisses, get some loving under a waterfall, and just re-connect in their relationship which makes Oliver’s writings block crumble. 

If you have an hour and want to read a light, fun, sweet story Catching Light by Meg Harding is not to be missed!
