Love on Deck by Kasey Stockton, New Release Book Review

Book Summary:

He calls it fake dating, but she calls it being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. Lauren Foley and Jack Fletcher already tried to be amicable once—on a blind date that ended in complete disaster. Now, years later, they have to put up with each other for the sake of her sister and his best friend, who are eloping on a cruise to the Bahamas. But that’s not the worst of it. No, Lauren’s in even deeper water when she finds herself agreeing to play Jack’s fake girlfriend for the duration of the cruise. Now the only thing on her mind is trying not to strangle him when he dials up the charm, but it becomes harder to remember exactly why she ever hated him in the first place. Jack, on the other hand, is enjoying the perks. Until the cruise lands on American soil again and real life hits them square in the face. Lauren is up for a promotion at work, and Jack promised her something that would secure it. But promises are easily broken, vacation life doesn’t always translate to the real world, and sometimes enemies start that way for a reason. Book one in the Arcadia Creek romance series, Love on Deck is a fake dating enemies-to-lovers story with forced proximity and a happily ever after. This modern romance will also introduce you to small town Texas and show you just how cozy it can be.

My Review:

I loved Love on Deck! First off, it takes place on a cruise and I love cruises! The setting was on point. The enemies to lovers trope is one of my absolute favorites and Jack and Lauren were quite the pair! And their history! Seriously, you cannot make that stuff up and then being stuck on a cruise together made it even more interesting!

I love how he calls her Spreadsheets, it made me smile every time. Lauren was so uptight and felt like she had to have everything planned out and just right. She seemed so severe, she didn’t really know how to relax. Jack was the opposite, he was full of fun and smiles. She was grumpy and he was sunshine. I loved watching them grow together and the interactions they had with their friends and family. The small town aspect gave me all of the Hallmark movies feels and was the cherry on top! This was an easy read and I loved every single second of it! If you like romcoms then you definitely need to read Love on Deck!

Happy Reading!!!
