"I'm really not one for the mushy romance stories, but this one had a pirate! Well okay...more like a descendant of a pirate, but still...it's good enough for me. The story overall was entertaining and I liked it (much to my surprise). " — Rebecca (5 out of 5 stars)
"I'm really not one for the mushy romance stories, but this one had a pirate! Well okay...more like a descendant of a pirate, but still...it's good enough for me. The story overall was entertaining and I liked it (much to my surprise). "
“An offbeat shipboard romance is at the heart of Love Overboard, another of Janet Evanovich’s screwball romantic comedies...Genuinely sweet.”
“C.J. Critt performs the novel...with her usual expertise...Fans of Janet Evanovich will enjoy a peek into the wisecracking, smart-alecky style that has won her kudos in the Stephanie Plum series.”
" Cute but I didn't enjoy it as much as her other romances. It took a long time to like Stephanie, the bungling idiot. Though I did immediately like Ivan. All of a sudden the house that Ivan sold Stephanie was falling apart and had ghosts. I knew something was up but I surely didn't figure it out. The surprise was kind of far-fetched but humorous anyway. "
" I read this when it was called Ivan Takes a Wife. Janet Evanovich was my induction to humorous romance and I'm a fan for life. "
" I listened to this on audiobook. I was thrilled that I finally listened to a Janet Evanovich book that didn't have that annoying Elsie Hawkins character. I think that made me like it more... "
" Fluffy early book by Janet Evanovich. This one even had a teensy bit of a mystery to it. It was cute and funny and I enjoyed it. "
" Read in one afternoon. Great mindless book however a little shotty on the overall review "
" This was, hands-down, the stupidest book I've ever read. I'm shocked and flabbergasted that people are giving it good enough reviews for it to average 3.5 stars. "
" 2.5 stars ..So far my least favorite Evanovich book. Didnt like that the main character's name was stephanie and that she was a 29 year old hot virgin who ends up giving it up after knowing some guy a few days. It was an easy light read and mildly entertaining. I finished it in a few days, but definitely not Evanovich's best work. "
" For a no brainer, silly romance novelm this was pretty good -- not too over the top. "
" Only if you need a non-thinking airplane book "
" Always love a book set in Maine and on the coast. A cute romance, one of Evanovich's older stories. "
" Listening to on audio book. "
" Her romances are always so much fun! "
" The same as the rest. OK "
" I could not put this book down read in all in less then 24 hours :) "
" Novellas are a great way to start a successful writing career. Also, romances can be hilarious. "
" typical cute Janet Evanovich..easy reading "
" An early Evanovich romance - this time set on a boat where the heroine takes a job as a cook. It is love at first sight with the ships captain with the romance continuing even after the cruise is done. No surprises here, but no problems either. A good way to kill a couple hours. "
" She's a wench & he's a captain - fun romantic & happy ending "
" it was cute i guess "
" Read May 2010 "
" I read this when it was originally released and called Ivan Takes a Wife. It was hilarious. I don't know how good the rewrite is. "
" A disappointment after reading the Plum series. The comedy felt forced and the writing was cliche. Not my best pick. "
" Good book but not a's funny as I'd hoped. "
" It was a cute story. Kinda fluff, but enjoyable. "
" A 'romance' that smacks of Harlequin. Not my thing, although it had some humour in it which was appreciated. "
" I still don't like romances not even by J-Ev "
" Pretty good story... more of a mystery than a romance... I liked Ivan's character and the ghost :) The writing was almost too simple, though... "
" not nearly as good as Stephanie Plum series "
" I listened to this on audiobook. It was a good story!! "
" Pretty dated and kind of cheesy. I usually like Janet's books, but this was a disappointment. "
" Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Very cute story! "
" Ok, this was a little TOO light and fluffy for me. Like a Harlequin romance . . . "
" Save your time. It was just okay. Evanovich didn't blossom till the plum series. This was a waste of time. I read it after the plum. Weird plot line. very disconnected. The part on the boat, then the dead bodies in the bnb. Just not very cohesive "
" Old book, should have left it archived. Evanovich calls it a madcap comedy, which I generally like, but this was poorly written and not very good. "
" Stephanie Lowe decides Maine schooner captain and pirate descendent Ivan Rasmussen deserves to be called Ivan the Terrible. The house she just bought from him is falling apart and possibly haunted "
" Good book if you want something light and quick. "
