Description
The course of true love never did sail smooth. . .
Things on this yacht are about to get rocky…
When feisty chef Sophia and strait-laced first officer Jack are thrown together as the crew for a luxury yacht on the beautiful Amalfi Coast, it’s anything but smooth sailing. And after their first interactions end with one very soggy first officer and an all-out battle over strawberries, they vow to give one another a wide berth for the remainder of the season.
But even on a 154-foot yacht, space is tight – and, try as they might, Sophia and Jack are thrown together time and again. And when disaster strikes for their wealthiest guests, the pair are forced to put aside their rocky start for the good of the charter.
As the tides begin to turn, Sophia and Jack discover that they might just have more in common than they first thought. And maybe, just maybe, Jack might be the starboard to Sophia’s port . . .
After all, the most skilled sailors know that when the waters don’t run smooth, you simply need to chart a new course . . .
The perfect enemies-to-lovers for fans of Below Deck and Emily Henry’s Book Lovers.

Their romance is so endearing because we see what a deep connection they have together and how they really focus on establishing the foundation of their relationship in such a promising way. I so enjoyed reading this one.

If you’re looking for a fun, light read with enemies to lovers, banter, and a slow burn romance, all happening in the chef’s quarters of a luxury yacht off the Amalfi Coast, then this one is for you!
Ada did a great job of creating fun, memorable moments full of tension-filled romance in a sun-soaked setting, perfect for reading by the pool or on the beach. A must read!

A lovely love story with some funny bits . Sophia was a chef and she goes to work on a super yacht and sparks fly when she meets Jack..Her food sounds fab.The captain was quite strict . Hard to review but it was a jolly good Saturday afternoon read.

Charming, witty and full of banter. This was super cute and easy to read. The characters were relatable and I enjoyed their relationship

This is a good story with lots of waves thrown into the mix, we all know how it is going to end up but the journey there is great fun!

The perfect summer will they won’t they romance novel that will be perfect when you are sat by the pool in the sun. I loved the below deck feel of life on this chartered yacht and the streamline crew running the latest charter for two reality tv stars. As the barriers between work colleagues and more than friends blur is love more important than a dream job at sea.

i giving this book a slow burning 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book! I love the characters and I felt like the writing is really wonderful. The plot is very interesting and well thought out!

This is a real treat of a book. Seven people, with the captain, all trapped in staff small quarters, working on a summer boat cruise. The life below decks is detailed and I could smell the salt, feel the cut finger and the waves rocking the boat at night. Love against the backdrop of a no fraternisation contract is tricky and whilst you would think the close working and sharing bunks would mean lots of honest chats, it clearly didn’t! The book is a great read and a relaxing, happy one at that.

Well this is just a delightful read - light-hearted and fun, some romance too.. Lovely descriptions of food, set in the Amalfi Coast. Pure escapism.

This was the perfect light and fluffy romance for the summer. It was cool to see the crew working on the ship and trying to balance every day life

This was a cute book. I think it was a perfect, light and easy read for the summer. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I can’t wait to read more from this author.

A great humorous summer romcom! an engaging story with lots of hilarious and loveable characters. Read this in one sitting and absolutely loved it.

Love Overboard by Ada Barumé is such a wonderful romance debut.

I adored the writing and the setting was just amazing.

This was too stinkin' cute! I loved reading "Love Overboard" by Ada Barumé. It's an absolute delight for fans of enemies-to-lovers romances and sea-bound adventures. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Amalfi Coast, the story follows fiery chef Sophia and uptight first officer Jack as they navigate their tumultuous relationship aboard a luxury yacht. Their initial clashes—complete with a soggy first officer and a strawberry skirmish—set the stage for a season of hilarious and heartfelt interactions. When they’re forced to team up during a crisis, their animosity begins to ebb, revealing surprising commonalities and undeniable chemistry. With witty banter, picturesque settings, and a dash of drama, "Love Overboard" is a perfect summer read that reminds us that even the rockiest seas can lead to the sweetest destinations. 🌊❤️📖

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.
I enjoyed reading this book.
Sofia is a chef, and this is her first cruise, which she wants to go well. But, her arguments with officer Jack are making it difficult for her to succeed.
The cruise also has some stars on it which make the story fun. But it also had some parts that were serious, mainly with the family of Jack.
I recommend this book.

Before I begin, I'd like to thank @netgalley and @aid_are_bar_room_may for the e-arc prior to release. I loved this book and can't wait to gush about it for months lol<33
Love Overboard follows Sophia, a rising chef, as she decides to take her life in a new direction cheffing aboard a luxury yacht. This all seems easy but, with a non-fraternization policy and a handsome (and very infuriating) first officer aboard, can things stay professional or will things take a turn?
If there is one thing that can be said about me it's that I love an enemies to lovers story. Another less well-known thing about me, to the booksta community at least, is that I love food. Therefore, is it really a surprise that I adored this book? The descriptions of the food Sophia was making sounded truly delightful, and the tension was something special.
Another plus of this book has got to be the side characters. Petra especially won my heart; we love girlies supporting girlies over here. And Patricio? Such a babe. Honestly, they were all so well-written, I felt like I truly knew them all.
Overall, I loved this book and recommend you grab yourself a copy for release in June; it's currently 99p to pre-order so what are you waiting for?
