REVIEW

That Ship Has Sailed by HM Thomas

Love At Sea #2

 Quick easy happily ever love story that reminded me a lot of the old Love Boat TV series.

 What I liked

* The setting…have always wanted to go on a cruise

* Seth: hot shot firefighter, snowboard competitor, possible adrenaline junkie, travels a lot, lives out of his van most of the year, might be ready to settle down with the right woman

* Courtney/Corey: RN, widow, afraid of loving and losing again, much more than she appears to be at first, once adventurous, might find her true self and love on the cruise…if she is willing to

* Ashley and Zack: friends of Courtney and Seth with a romance beginning of their own

* Trudy: older passenger on the cruise, widow, has words of wisdom and is a sounding board for Courtney

* The honest communication between Seth and Courtney

* The resolution at the end of the story

 What I didn’t like:

* The painful emotions Courtney had to work through to realize what was truly important to her

 Did I enjoy this book? Yes

Would I read more in the series? Yes

 Thank you to IndiePen PR for the ARC – this is my honest review.

      AUTHOR BIO

 HM Thomas grew up in a southern town creating worlds bigger and more dramatic than her own. She credits her dad’s nightly story times for her love of the written word and her mom’s devotion to Days of Our Lives for her love of dramatic fiction.

 HM was writing fan-fiction long before it was a thing, taking the characters from her mom’s soaps or her own books and creating even more twists and turns for them. As she got older, she wrote her own friends into the plots. Some of them are still there.

 After graduating from a large southern university, HM got her own Happily Ever After and decided to start writing them for her characters as well. She began focusing on romance, oftentimes mixed with suspense.

 When not writing, HM enjoys traveling and hiking with her husband, three children and rescue dog. On a good day, she can be found with a book in her hand. On a really good day, there will be sand or a campfire.
