Love Overboard by Kandi Steiner

I’m SO conflicted about this book. I did really enjoyed the chemistry and the push and pull between Finn and Ember, but I also did NOT enjoy the fact that Finn had a girlfriend for the MAJORITY of the book. It did really bug me. It made me feel guilty and icky for for being rooting for them and that was bringing me out of the story every time. But then the other woman drama is not much my thing in romance novels. I also wish that we had gotten insight into Finn’s thoughts. A few chapters with his POV would have been nice.
Overall, a good book just messy and chaotic, but also full of tension and yearning.
❝ I tried to fight it, this pull between us, but I’m helpless against it and I think you are, too. I can’t stay out of your business, Firefly. Because my business is you. Everything you say, everything you do — I’m tapped into it. I’m hanging onto every word. I’m silently begging for your eyes to find mine in a crowded room, for you to come close enough for me to make up some fecking excuse to touch you.❞

From USA Today, #1 Amazon, and BookTok bestselling author Kandi Steiner comes a sizzling, second-chance romance set on the high seas—perfect for fans of Below Deck and readers who crave angsty, high-stakes love stories.
Ember Reed is finally living her dream: chief stew on a Mediterranean superyacht, sun-kissed days at sea, and the star of Close Quarters, the hottest new reality TV show. But just as she finds her stride, the producers throw her a curveball—by hiring the one man who nearly sank her.
Finn Pearson was the one that got away. The boy who kissed her like they had forever, then left without a word. But now he’s the chef in her new crew, and the cameras are watching their every move, innocent, or not.
Even on a superyacht, there’s nowhere to hide from the past. Every stolen glance, every whispered argument, every lingering memory threatens to ignite what never fully burned out. And as the tension spills into their day jobs, even the dinner service is spiralling into disaster.
They’ve crashed before… but could eight weeks at sea be their second chance to get it right? Or will it be the storm that finally sinks them for good?
