I didn’t think so. So shut it.So begins vacation for Summer Hartwell – … it.
So begins vacation for Summer Hartwell – twenty-six years old, living with her anxiety-ridden parents, and unwillingly booked by her brother on a weeklong cruise to Bermuda. Despite the nightmare of being trapped aboard a cruise ship with Mom and Dad, Summer sees a rare opportunity to fulfill The Prophecy – her mother’s declaration that she will live at home until she gets married. With two thousand passengers onboard, at least one of them must be husband material, right?
The only problem is Graham Blenderman – her brother’s best friend who is joining them for the week, in all of his tall, blonde, extroverted glory. Graham doesn’t believe Summer needs a husband in order to break free from her parents. He thinks she just needs a little bit of nerve. And to Summer’s introverted horror, he’s willing to spend the entire week proving that he’s right.

Adorable
not so great. seemed like the author wanted to write …let’s see how many crazy things can happen on a cruise
I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were up one day and down the nexr. They were a funny group.
Very funny characters. Nice light entertaining read.
Such a fun read! As soon as I finished this book I downloaded book #2. Light, fun & enjoyable books!
I like it
This is a very humorous vacation story with a romance thrown in for good measure. It is very enjoyable light reading.
Oh, this is so funny. Had some great laughs. As a frequent cruiser I had to set aside my cruising knowledge. Ok, I could not resist. What cabin has a kitchen. Well I had to research. There is one suite on a Viking Ocean Class ship that actually has a kitchenette. The Dad resolution was very creative.
Annoying as hell heroine. I swear I just wanted to punch her. I have no idea what the author was thinking there.
Cute
Enjoyable read. I laughed out loud a lot!
I’m calling this 3 1/2 Stars. I liked this story, though it was actually pretty predictable and the parents got on my nerves quite a bit. Still, Summer was a very likable heroine and I was really rooting for her to find romance.
Laugh out loud at this silly love story. So much fun to read I had to buy the next one and wasn’t disappointed.
It was really funny, I enjoyed it. I bought the next one in the series because the characters were quirkey and funny.
Fun, light reading with some good pointers for those who are reticent about leaving the parental nest after age 25….
Summer takes a cruise with her parents… could be fun…Have you met her parents???
Could not put down. Loved it.
So funny! Loved this well written book
I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters are multi-dimensional and realistic. The heroine of the story is relatable. I am planning on reading the other books in the series.
Light reading
