Maddie Summers has never been the impulsive type. So taking a new job as a holiday rep in Turkey is way out of her comfort zone. Will embarking on a boat trip with a host of demanding passengers see her all at sea - literally?
But then there’s Jackson, the sexy Australian rep who she’s falling for, hook, line and sinker. Though any chance of romance is complicated by Maddie’s gift for chaos, the powerful family onboard ship (including their light-fingered five-year-old), and a supervisor with secrets he’ll do anything to keep hidden.
Amid the rough waves of jealous crewmates, missing jewellery and even a potential man overboard, Maddie must be brave and throw logic to the wind. Can she take a risk and set a course for love?
What did I think?
I love Jo Lyons' books and her new novel, Love Ahoy! is a real breath of fresh air in the romcom genre. Take note doctors, Love Ahoy! should come on prescription; it made me laugh and smile all the way through.
Maddie needs a change of scenery after a recent break up so she hops on a plane and flies to Turkey to work in the head office of a holiday company. Of course things don't go to plan from the moment she steps on the plane but give the girl her due, she stuck by her decision. Maddie thought she would be sitting behind a desk at head office but instead she's working on a gulet to give a rich family a holiday to remember.
The family on the boat is hilarious and I absolutely adored five year old Emir - he is so cute and precocious that he was definitely my favourite character (and that's saying something as I'm not a huge fan of kids!). The romance part of the storyline is absolutely sizzling as the chemistry between Maddie and Jackson almost left scorch marks on the page. Be careful you don't get your fingers burnt, Maddie (and readers!). There's also a bit of a mystery element with more than one character hiding something (and I'm not talking about Emir's stash of pilfered goods).
Cute, flirty and fun, Love Ahoy! is a hugely entertaining read packed with sun, sea and secrets (you thought I was going to say something else there, didn't you?). It's a sunny smile of a book and one I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
I received a digital ARC for the bookstagram tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
