This was a great brother’s best friend romance. I really liked this story, it was well written and had an entertaining storyline. Abby and Greyson had such a great connection and lots of great banter between them. I was thoroughly entertained.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Abandon Ship by Karigan Hale is a great addition to the Love At Sea series. It is such a fun and breezy read to help keep you toasty on these cold winter nights.
Abby, aka Breezy, is a bride abandoned the night before her wedding. Jazz is the best friend who is her ride or die. On the Love at Sea cruise that was supposed to be Abby's honeymoon the girls are determined to throw caution to the wind and have a bff cruise instead. A slip up while boarding has Abby literally running into her high school crush, Grayson Hamilton, who is also one of her brother's best friends and the one who has been secretly lusted after Abby for just as long.
We get to see if this cruise will be a rebound connection or a forever love.
I highly recommend Abandon Ship to help keep you warm.

Jilted bride and brother's best friend romance. Abby and Grayson have an entertaining story that has great humor that kept me laughing. There is a bit of drama and tons of fun. The storyline is cute and the romance sweet. Not only were the main characters great but the supporting/side characters were amazing and a great addition to the story.

This story is not only about a jilted bride but also about destiny. Sometimes the person who you think is the one or your happily ever after isn't really who you're meant to be with. The romance between Abby and Greyson is sweet, and for Greyson it picks up right where it left off when they were in high school. I like the way he defends her when the ex comes back asking for forgiveness and how he takes care of her while she's heartbroken & vulnerable. The ending was my most favorite part, yes he made a mistake but that grand gesture Grayson makes when he asks Abby for a second chance was dripping with romance. Turns out maybe they were always destined for each other. It's a lovely story, I recommend this to all romance lovers. It contains some spice, I'm sure many of my fellow bookworms would love.

Abby and Gray had such a healing story. I'm not sure how Abby had the strength to get out of bed after her idiot ex-fiance jilted her the night before their wedding but she just kept trucking along, replacing him with her best friend on their honeymoon cruise where they (literally) bump into Gray at check in.

Gray is a professional photographer trying to repair his reputation after some unfortunate choices a few months prior. His best friend in the world is Abby's brother and has always had feelings for Abby. He proves himself the alpha male Abby needs at this point in her life and their chemistry is palpable throughout the story.

When the inevitable misunderstanding ensues, Gray proves himself more than worthy to Abby with the best grand gesture I've read in a long time! How could Abby resist when he proves that he actually pays attention to her and knows more about her than her fiance ever did?

Another amazing addition to the Love at Sea series!!
