This is a steamy romance book. Fun and lighthearted.

I received an ARC from #netgalley in exchange from my honest review.

I worked on a cruise. So was excited to give this a read. The romance between Darcy and Mitch is super steamy. But far from the real. Thats why it's a work of fiction. I really liked Darcy not always clear on some of her reasoning, but that's what makes a complex character. Mitch just seems to be a good-looking guy with some brain cells. The sexual content is a bit more than some but less than other novels. Enjoy reading.

Good Girl Overboard by Denise Swanson, is a steamy read that takes place on a cruise ship.

After years of making a living critiquing cruise lines, Darcy Simons is finally done with all the negativity and nastiness that her editor requires. She wants to write her novel full-time, and pay off the tremendous debt her ex-fiance saddled her with when their wedding was called off. So a critique of the maiden voyage of the Ocean Starr, the most luxurious and safe ship in the world, is her final assignment. In order to get Darcy to agree to write the expose, Darcy's slimy editor agreed to pay Darcy triple her normal fee.

Mitch James, the ship's captain, never gets involved with any of the passengers, however Darcy has truly tickled his fancy. They are both secretive about their true identities, which almost derails their shipboard fling and possible future together.

This is a nicely written love story with an engaging plot and well-defined characters. I found Darcy and Mitch to be kindhearted and interesting, and I loved the way Ms. Swanson developed them both as individuals and as a couple. Their time together was replete with warmth and lustful attraction. One of the secondary characters was quite manipulative, which brought an additional intensity to the story-line. Overall, this is an entertaining and slightly emotional read that twists and turns in all the right places.

**Received an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review** I really liked the concept of this book, but I didn't care for the main female character. She was back and forth too much for my liking. One minute she is crazy over the captain and thinking she is falling in love with him, but then when he is nice to her she pushes him away and let's him think she is interested in another guy and continuously turning him down... the characters got on my nerves and I didn't feel like they had any type of connection. It just felt forced. I'm not saying the book is bad, it's not. I just couldn't get into it because of my dislike for the characters. I would say give this book a chance, you may like it. You may think they have amazing chemistry and can totally see where she is coming from, but for me, I'll pass on the next book in the series.
