All at Sea by Cheyenne Blue
4.0
It was a nice change to have Cheyenne Blue take me to sea instead of the outback for once. Turns out she writes both with equal aplomb! I’m a fan of Cheyenne Blue and All at Sea was a pleasure to read. It’s not every day you go risk life and limb to protest a Chinese tanker ready to illegally dump nuclear waste in Australian waters.
Stevie Sterling didn’t expect to be on that journey either, but as an accidental stowaway she has little choice but to adapt to instant life at sea. The unflappable captain Kaz Malone leaves her little choice. The two have assumptions about each other that prove to be all wrong and it’s great fun to be on board with them as they figure it out.
Stevie – a trust-fund baby who struggled to get away from her overbearing family (mostly mommy dearest) to pursue a career in nursing – is the more prickly of the two whereas Kaz – part-time app designer / part-time eco warrior - is pretty laid-back. Their chemistry didn’t exactly crackle off the pages but was still enjoyable enough.
First part of the story is on board of small sailboat Delilah as we go to battle and the second part is on dry land in small town Wallanbindi, Victoria, where Kaz and Stevie will have to find mutual trust to see if they can have a future together. Drama comes in the form of the Sterling family and younger sister Ash who wants to break away from the stifling family duties as well. Cheyenne Blue always brings me the Aussie charm I have come to love so much. Her books are always a joy to read.
f/f semi explicit scenes (no blow by blow)
Themes: Australia, eco warriors, environmental protesting at sea, Sinbad the sea-faring cat, Sterling Saves, Ocean Rights, opposites attract.
