Synopsis

CRUISE /krooz/ verb. 1. To sail in an area, especially for pleasure. 2. To look for someone . . . definitely for pleasure

Mackenzie Laurel is done with rotten lemons. Especially the guy kind. With no relationship, no job, and nowhere to live, Mac's leaving reality behind to go on a luxury cruise. A little fun in the sun wouldn't hurt. And a certain green-eyed passenger might just be the thirst-quenching lemonade she needs . . .

Cole Matterhorn isn't a relationship guy. Hell, he can barely commit to leftovers. Yet the second he meets Mac, there's sparks—the kind that could mean some delicious distraction. Distraction that Cole desperately needs to escape from his work problems and the event that imploded any chance of his having a normal life.

Mac and Cole have more in common than just chemistry. She's hard of hearing and knows a little something about not always fitting in—and that his prosthetic does not define him. For nine days they're both having the time of their lives, whether it's their failed trivia attempts, heating things up on a Caribbean beach, or even a sexy karaoke serenade.

Now it's only a matter of time before they hit the shore—and reality.

Contains mature themes.

About Laura Brown

After spending her childhood coming up with new episodes to her favorite sitcoms instead of sleeping, Laura Brown decided to try her hand at writing and never looked back. A hopeless romantic, she married her high school sweetheart, though they didn't even go to the same high school! They live in Massachusetts with two cats with cerebellar hypoplasia, and an energetic kid who keeps them on their toes. Laura's been hard of hearing her entire life but didn't start learning ASL until college, when her disability morphed from an inconvenience to a positive part of her identity. It's important to her to create strong, competent characters with hearing loss, as she didn't have that growing up. At home the closed captioning is always on, lights flash with the doorbell, and hearing aids are sometimes optional.

"A Cruise Fling" was a very enjoyable romance novel. This was my first book by Laura Brown so I had nothing to compare it to and no expectations.
