Juli accidentally stows away on an amateur pirate Alex's boat, discovering attraction, friends and love along the way. And diamonds. Very well written, funny and interesting romance. I'm going to have to read all the other Tawna Fenske books that I can find, this was really cute. ( )

Had high hopes for this one since I love Tawna's blog, but it was a little to Keystone Cops for my taste. That, and the hero spent the whole book trying to convince himself not to sleep with Juli (which didn't seem like a very "guy" thing to do). ( )

The plot is lame bordering on stupid, but the writing is funny -and that kept me reading. ( )

Wow! I loved this book. I think few authors can write humorous romance novels very well, but Tawna Fenske did a great job in this book. The characters are all kind of weird, but still relatable. In fact it was hard not to picture some of my friends filling the roles in this book. But the best part of the book was how much a funny situation would catch me off guard. I would laugh so hard while reading this that I'd have to put the book down and walk away for a while before I could start to read it again! I laughed until I cried and I loved every single page of this one. ( )

Oddball Juli Flynn is responsible for spreading her Uncle Frank's ashes in the water near St. John in the Virgin Islands. Laid off a month before reaching pension eligibility, Alex and his coworkers have turned to a life of piracy. When Juli has an adverse reaction to her motion sickness medication she winds up on Alex' boat rather than the charter boat she was meant to take. As Juli tries to make friends and fit in with this crazy group of "cartographers" which includes a former NFL linebacker turned chef who wants to be called Cookie, she and Alex are increasingly attracted to each other. The more the pirate crew learns about Juli, the less they're sure they can trust her with the details of their mission. The more time Juli spends on the boat and with Alex, the more she feels that she's finally found a group with whom she can finally feel normal, and somebody with whom she wants to spend the rest of her life. A really hilarious read, and very much recommended for fans of romantic comedy writers like Jennifer Crusie and Kristan Higgins. ( )
