“FRESH AND FUN AS HELL — Katelyn Doyle is absolutely an author to watch.” —People Magazine
From the author of Just Some Stupid Love Story, an IRRESISTIBLE ROM-COM about what happens when a cruise ship romance goes…overboard
Hope Lanover needs a vacation. Her relationship has imploded, her creative ambitions have flatlined, and she can’t seem to locate the badass girl she used to be. So when her best friend invites her on a luxury cruise, she goes along with it, despite decidedly not being a cruise person.
Felix Segrave, a sober, determinedly single, workaholic chef, hates leaving his restaurant and routine. But when his parents surprise him and his sisters with cruise tickets, he can’t say no—he’s disappointed them too many times in his troubled past.
Hope and Felix are prepared to grin and bear it . . . until they lock eyes at check-in. Suddenly ten days in the Caribbean doesn’t seem so bad, if it means a fling with a sexy stranger. But when their romantic demons catch up to them and a huge fight leaves them stranded in paradise, they must work together—not to mention share a bed—to make their way home. Can they navigate the stormy seas of love or will they face romantic shipwreck?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
There's no second book slump for Doyle (Just Some Stupid Love Story) in this fun beach read. Recently dumped Hope Lanover is persuaded to accompany her best friend, lifestyle influencer Lauren, on a Caribbean cruise, despite not being a "cruise person." British restaurant owner Felix Segrave is coerced onto the same boat by his wealthy family, though the break from his routine represents a threat to his sobriety. When Felix and Hope meet at the buffet, sparks fly. Together, they embrace cruising culture, enjoying moonlit walks, performances by Elvis impersonators, and island excursions. Unfortunately, their budding romance is interrupted by Hope's ex-boyfriend and a typical rom-com misunderstanding about intentions that leads to a major fight. With tempers flaring, Hope and Felix can't even avoid each other as they watch their ship depart port without them, leaving them stranded in the Bahamas without their identification, working phones, or any of their luggage and forced to rely on one another. The banter is clever, the setting gorgeous, and the quirky supporting cast entertains. Readers will be swept away.
