A bachelor party on a cruise ship.
What could go wrong?
When private detective Francie is hired to spy on a groom-to-be as he and his bachelor party set sail for the Caribbean, she thinks she's landed herself a week of paid vacation. Between lounging in the sun and sipping margaritas, she just needs to--best case scenario--report back that he's on the up and up, or--the unfortunate, more likely scenario--snap a few photos of her target in compromising positions, buy a box of sympathy chocolates for her client, and then collect her pay along with a nice golden suntan.
Blame it on the island breezes or the alcohol, but within hours of setting sail, Francie's leisurely vacation gets complicated when she starts making careless mistakes. Like accidentally becoming friends with the groom and falling for his best man.
Can she get herself and her mission back on track, or has she blown her cover and possibly even her career?

Review
This was the first experience in the Oceanic Dreams #5 series and whilst i had not read any of the series i felt this did not impact my enjoyment or understanding at all. This was a delightfully sweet and quick read. We meet Francie who is a private detective and is hired to follow a groom to be on a lads cruise, turns out not only is it a lads stag do, its also a singles cruise - but Franice is sure there is nothing untoward going on. However Danielle (the bride to be) is convinced otherwise and is constantly bombarding Francie with texts that she barely has any down time.
Francie does however manage to find some down time and ends up following the gang closer than she anticipated as she ends up befriending them. As she gets closer her feelings about all of them start to change expecially the best man and Francie has to remind herself of her long term love Bink.
This was laugh out loud funny in places, it was a quick read that you can delve into and enjoy in one sitting and it really lifts your spirits, this is a pure book of escapism. I really warmed to Francie, i think she was awkward, down to earth and just wanting to be true to herself. I would really suggest picking this up if you want a quick reading fix with those summer day vibes.
I rated this 3.5 (this was gifted for a review)
