Book Review: Love Overboard

 


TROPES:

  • second chance
  • reality tv
  • forced proximity
  • forbidden
  • high stakes
  • angsty
  • Below Deck vibes

From USA Today, #1 Amazon, and BookTok bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a sizzling, second-chance romance set on the high seas—perfect for fans of Below Deck and readers who crave angsty, high-stakes love stories.

Ember Reed is finally living her dream: chief stew on a Mediterranean superyacht, sun-kissed days at sea, and the star of Close Quarters, the hottest new reality TV show. But just as she finds her stride, the producers throw her a curveball—by hiring the one man who nearly sank her.

Finn Pearson was the one that got away. The boy who kissed her like they had forever, then left without a word. But now he’s the chef in her new crew, and the cameras are watching their every move, innocent, or not.

Even on a superyacht, there's nowhere to hide from the past. Every stolen glance, every whispered argument, every lingering memory threatens to ignite what never fully burned out. And as the tension spills into their day jobs, even the dinner service is spiralling into disaster.

They’ve crashed before… but could eight weeks at sea be their second chance to get it right? Or will it be the storm that finally sinks them for good?


My Review

As soon as I heard about this book, I knew I had to read it. I have watched Below Deck. Not the most recent seasons but the original and I was hooked. This book is like watching the show but in reading format. It features all the juicy scandal, just like the show! 

Haha. When Finn is giving a pre-production confessional and he asks if he can curse. He is told yes but it will be censored. He uses the word "fecking". 

As soon as I met Ember and Finn, I felt the strong angsty tension between them. I could not wait to dive in deeper to their relationship. The tension only got worse with all the film crew around every corner. It is hard to express feelings when you have a camera in your face. 

"He kissed me like a man possessed".

The confessionals are "pure gold"! I love these parts of the book. They are so funny and really showcased the crew's personalities the best. I loved every moment of this book. Jump aboard and settle in for a wild, hilarious, and steamy read on the Sinking Sun!
