A rich girl – poor girl romance
set in the context of The Suite Life kind of luxury ship. A feel good,
tingly romance which is perfect for losing yourself into that world for a few
hours.
Lowe Carter is the independent,
open butch older daughter of an extremely pretentious and snobbish mother.
Unfortunately for her, her younger sister, Victoria, is a spitting image of her
mom and her father is mostly mentally and emotionally absent. However, being a
“good daughter” she spends three weeks every year with her parents on-board the
luxury ship in which they own one of the most expensive apartments. Faith
Williams is a crew member of the said ship. Lowe and Faith literally crash into
one another on the day Lowe is joining her parents. And sparks fly. However,
the captain of the ship has strict rules about crew members getting involved
with the residents or their guests. Any such involvement means a termination of
employment for the crew member. But the heart finds its own way, right?
The attraction and chemistry
between Lowe and Faith is palpable. It jumps off the black and white of the
pages into the reader sending all sorts of interesting reactions in us right
there along with the two MCs.
There are some holes and some
unexplored areas in the plot, but those are minor to the romance which remains
the unwavering focus. Also, it is written in first person alternating between
the two MCs. At times this can become a challenge to follow which of the two is
actually speaking.
Despite these minor blemishes,
this is a nice – very nice – read. A good way to begin the new year.
