This was good but I did feel as though it could have more of a fast-paced to the book full stop the main characters are interesting but I just could not really get into their love story. Another one of those books where the side characters were more interesting.

I found this book quite boring which was quite disappointing as I was really exited to read this, I found no real bond between the two characters and the romance started way to late for a romance book.

This is a cute romcom perfect for summer beach reads with the travelling vibes.
Do not read this on an empty stomach, though. There is so much food chat that you will have a rumbling stomach after!
I really enjoyed learning a little about the crew life on the yacht, and the scenery sounded incredible.
There were some really touching moments between all of the characters, and also some really funny one-liners.
It's a really quick and easy read. I finished it in 2 days.
There's a couple of explicit scenes, and they were really well done.
I'd recommend this to fans of summertime romances. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

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.

i received this book as an arc from netgalley. i have to be honest, i was adamant that i wouldn’t dnf this book (and i have wanted to since the first chapter) because its an arc and i wanted to be able to give a well rounded review but i just got so frustrated with our main character and the story in general that i just had to give up.
There’s a massive theme of “the older you are the wiser you are” and that age = maturity which just isn’t true and it felt a little bit like it was being used to belittle other characters in the fmc’s mind. this is especially concerning because, despite the fact that she is 27 years old, she acts like a teenager, which she acknowledges, and then continues to act in the same way?!
The main reason i got so frustrated was because our main character was acting beyond rude to who is supposed to be the main love interest. she is immediately stand offish towards him when they first meet and even though they have to work together in close quarters, they do nothing to remedy the fact that they are both quite hostile to each other.
to end this on a positive note, this book does have short chapters and is quite easy to read and get through.
- Thankyou Netgalley and Avon Books UK for the e-arc! -

thank you so much Netgalley for this ARC.

I was really looking forward to read this book but unfortunately i dont have anytime, so therefore i couldn't give any review or thoughts about this book, but i hope this book is as good as i expecting.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

I was hoping I would love this book but it just didn’t sit right with me and I could absorb myself completely. This wasn’t for me!

This was a fun book, although not one I would select to reread. It had a promising premise, and the execution was a solid passing grade. 💖

✨ Cruise Life
✨ Romcom

✨Chef Sofia is the main character of the story. She started her new journey with great enthusiasm.
Jack Carter on the other hand is working way up to being a first officer.
✨ the story of them has a mixture of enemies to lovers as they trying to be together but they have a lot of differences.
✨ The story was okay and plain basic for me. But it’s great for someone new in the world of romance.




✨ Thankyou @avonbooks for the opportunity to read this book for a honest review

It gave below deck vibes in the best way possible. I loved the atmosphere and setting, but what got me was that it was just too much of a cliche romance for me.

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

I really enjoyed this quirky rom com and had a great time reading it. There was good banter and I thought the characters were good together. A great pallet cleanser book.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC.
This looked like a cute little romcom book and I was excited to give it a go, albeit a bit apprehensive after looking at some reviews.
Chef Sofia Harlow is off on a new adventure, ditching her dream job that no longer makes her happy and trying the Yachtie life.
Jack Carter has been enjoying the Yachtie life and the ladies of each port for years now but has finally worked his way to First Officer.
Sofia and Jack don’t make great first impressions on each other in this enemies to lovers story as they learn that being quick to judge and making assumptions may have ruined any chances of being happy.
This story was good, not great but I still found myself wanting to continue despite being unsure of how it was gonna progress.
I was 100% sure Petra was gonna be a baddie that was secretly out to get Sofia fired as she definitely caused so much of the drama and I was annoyed she got a HEA.
I know some people do fall quickly but I felt like Sofia and Jacks love was unrealistic and rushed, there should’ve been more moments of flirting and ‘maybe I could like him/her’ it felt very sudden when they just went for it, which I think let the story down as it could have been made more believable, wasn’t enough tension and build up for the way it happened IMO.
Overall was a cute story, just didn’t tick all the boxes for me.
2.5 stars rounded up

I was REALLY hoping I’d love this book, especially since I’m a big Below Deck fan so this was definitely a let down. The characters fell flat for me and the connection between them just didn't seem there. But please read it and decide for yourself. It just wasn't it for me personally.

Love Overboard is a cute summer romance novel by Ada Barume.
This was such a cute read. It's the perfect book to curl up with over the summer months. It's easy to follow and had a good cast of characters. Plus the pacing was just right. Overall a brilliant novel that I would recommend to other readers.
💖 Thank you to netgalley, Avon books and the author for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

An easy, light Summer read. I enjoyed this book so much that I finished it within 2.5 days. Enemies to lovers, miscommunication, romance… this book has it all.

Brilliant, on board romances ,an insight into celebrity cruising, and onboard chef-ing. .Perfect holiday reading.

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.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #AvonBooksUK for this ARC. Love Overboard was a fun summer read. It made me want to sail to beautiful Islands, but I get sea sick, so that is not happening, lol. This is a book of misunderstandings, enemies to lovers and the supporting cast is so fun. A must read for summer.
