"A Cruise Fling" was a very enjoyable romance novel. This was my first book by Laura Brown so I had nothing to compare it to and no expectations. It ended up being a really cute book that had some surprising emotional layers to it. I loved that the MC's both had minor disabilities but it didn't define who they where. I thought Cole and Mac were a great match and even though they tried to define their relationship early on the universe knew all along how it should be. I love a good meet cute and the story set up was good. It takes place mostly on a cruise ship which is always a great backdrop to a romance. If I had to be nitpicky and give any criticism it would be that a couple moments felt a little too repetitive (rotten lemon theme I am looking at you) Also a pet peeve of mine is if you are going to use swear words, use them. When you rotate between the MC's using the f-bomb and then saying "heck" over and over it feels unnatural and honestly kind of silly. I personally don't know anyone who uses the f-word who won't say "hell" and feels the need to substitute a nicer version, in the same conversation. Just a pet peeve of mine. If you are going to swear make it seem real to the character and be purposeful about it, or just don't do it.
Over all I really enjoyed this book. I would reccomend it and will read other books by this author.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing House as well as Laura Brown for allowing me to read an ARC of this novel in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
