Description
Good Girl Overboard
Take a smoking-hot captain with a secret and an undercover cruise reviewer determined to change her sex life from flat to fiery. Shake well over rough seas. Serve on a king-size bed for a sizzling good time.
* * *
For twenty-eight years, cruise critic Darcy Simons has followed the rules. And what did it get her? A broken heart, an unfaithful fiancé, and a pile of bills taller than her uneaten four-tiered wedding cake. Clearly, it’s not blondes, but bad girls, who have more fun, and she is determined to become one of them.
While Darcy is on the maiden voyage of the Ocean Starr cruise liner to write a snarky review that will earn enough money to pay off her canceled wedding, she’s determined to break some personal rules and have a wild sexual adventure—she just needs to find the perfect man. When she bumps into Captain Mitch James, and both his briefcase and sparks fly, she knows Mitch is just the guy for the job.
Too bad Mitch has a firm no-messing-with-female-passengers rule. But when he discovers Darcy’s true reason for taking the cruise, he decides to use his charm to get a thumbs up for his ship. Breaking his own rules, he sets out to seduce her. Now, if he can just convince himself that his only interest in Darcy is a good review, he might make it back to port with his heart intact.
Advance Praise
“Good Girl Overboard is a wonderful start to a promising series. I loved it and could not help rooting for Darcy to find love with the handsome captain. … Mishaps, interesting characters, witty banter, ulterior motives, passion, secrets, a shipboard romance and love intertwine to provide readers with an entrancing story that will leave them feeling good. … I cannot wait to see what else Ms. Swanson has in store for her readers with the next Change Of Heart novel.”

I really enjoyed this book! I loved the chemistry between Mitch and Delaney, it’s absolutely smokin’ hot! They fight their attraction but there is no fighting something that strong. I also loved the rest of the characters aboard ship, they really added to the mood. I know there are books that give HEA’s to Delaney’s friends but I’d love to see another story with a HEA for Adrienne, I adored her character. If you’re looking for a fun read, a vacation in a book, than look no further and enjoy a lovely trip to the Caribbean with this fun cast! I received a copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review
LJ T, Reviewer
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.
