I enjoyed this book. There was a lot of back and forth between Chrissy, Deacon, Elliott and Angela as far as who loves who and keeping secrets. I loved how the book ended. It was an easy read, I finished it in an afternoon.

Thank you netgalley for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

A sweet and funny story . Deacon and Chrissy just won a cruise at Malvides which will take place in four months , Three months later he proposes and she doesn't answer him because she used to be married and she is worried so they break up . When they both are in the ship for the cruise they must share the same room , they both love each other but they are stubborn to admit their feelings . Add an ex husband and an ex girlfriend and few secrets and LARP .
I received this book from netgalley , the author and the publicer as an ARC . Thank you . All thoughts and opinions are my own .

I loved the story, caracters and close door romance on this one.

The chemistry between the caracters was perfect,

This book was so cute you need to add to your TBR.

This is a sweet and easy read. I needed a pallet cleanser and decided to read something outside my comfort zone. For some reason I just don't find Deacan that attractive and that killed the vibe for me a bit. It also has the tried and true misunderstanding troupe which is getting redundant for me as a reader. Especially when it's low stakes. Just feels immature at times. I did enjoy the themes of friendship and forgiveness. 3/5 stars from me!

"I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own." Thank you NetGalley.
I liked the couple and the setting. This is a closed door read with some crass language.

If u want a light read, entertaining, romantic that can be read so so fast, this is the book for you. I enjoyed it very much. It was funny and romantic at the same time. Characters are so well build. Miscommunication is the big trope of this book but it's so well written that you want to know how it will end.

I received an ARC copy from Netgallery. Thank you so much.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC provided by Xpresso Book Tours.
This was a fun and entertaining rom-com. The writing was smooth and charming.
However, the childishness and the stubbornness of the main characters were a little too much for me.
My rating : 3.75 stars.

This was not what I was expecting at all. I was thinking a romcom. Funny. Flirty. And it was that but with a few switcheroo to the characters and plots.
I'm not sure...the characters were a bit too flawed for whst I was expecting, or maybe just from what I wanted from the boom blurb.

This was a DNF for me at 30%. I was just not clicking with either MC.

Chrissy being ‘best friends’ with her Ex husband was just a big no for me. Her excepting her new b/f to just be good with that made her seem very entitled. Plus, she refused to explain the parking lot situation when confronted about it. Instead she decided to go on the offensive, when most adults just talk things out. I felt like I was reading about a high schooler and not a full grown adult.

Deacon was no better. He was straight up lying to Chrissy about a pretty serious thing from his past (struggling with alcoholism) that you shouldn't be withholding from a girl you want to marry, especially because that’s one of the things that ruined her first marriage. Also, still going along with being his Ex’s sponsor because he had promised was crazy. He needed to step back, his relationship with her ended and he should have made sure she was lined up with a new sponsor that was not him.

I love flawed characters in my romances (I don’t just look for perfect characters) but to be actively lying about your life and blaming the other person for the relationship failing is bit bizarre to me. Let’s not normalize toxic relationships in rom-coms.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to review this one.

Great short rom com! Reminds me of something you’d find on the hallmark channel. I appreciated it didn’t have any spicy scenes as I prefer to read books with limited spice (just a personal preference). I felt the story had twists and turns to keep you interested and it was a short read so they didn’t drag out the story line! Would love to read more from this author!

I already submitted a review on Goodreads too.

Fun Cruise Read. But It Has The Wrong Best Video Game Ever. When this book releases on my birthday - US Presidential Inauguration Day as well, this year - I will literally be out of the country. Specifically, I'll be on Grand Turk with the Carnival Mardi Gras... yes, on a cruise myself that week. :D

Reading this one in the last few days before I drop down to Orlando and Port Canaveral to meet up with the Mardi Gras was particularly fun, but I can tell you from over 4 months of cruising across nearly 20 years now that this book really does capture the spirit of the modern cruise industry quite well. Some of the other aspects re: group cruises or partial charters (and particularly the type of group doing the charter here), I'm less familiar with as neither group cruises nor this particular type of group are really my scene. Even there, from what I've seen of that group, Dorminy shows the group in a favorable light and does a solid job of incorporating the better elements of that group within the overall story being told here.

And the story being told here is actually one of the more interesting romcoms I've read in quite some time, mostly because even though it uses several tropes (what romance book these days doesn't?), it uses them in far more rare and interesting ways. The comedy segments are done particularly well in many different aspects, including some that will have you literally laughing out loud. The "spice" is somewhere around call it habanero or so. It gets a bit interesting without going so far as to cause really anyone to "get the vapors" or anything, though it *is* more than some will want to handle.

Overall a fun and interesting read, great for getting in the "vacation mood" without necessarily hearing Jimmy Buffett (but also, thankfully, no Sweet Caroline either).

Oh, and the *actual* best video game ever? Mass Effect Legendary Edition. Find it on any console or PC, and you'll thank me for the game recommendation even more than the book recommendation.

Very much recommended.
