It's an age gap romance story -- WHERE OUR FEMALE LEAD IS OLDER.
This is all I ever really need in a romance for it to absolutely make me feral for the story.
From the start, "Swept Away" was a wild story. Between knowing each other for ONE NIGHT and attempting to survive being stranded at sea, Lexi and Zeke have such wild circumstances and yet, the more I read, the more they went through, the more I absolutely loved everything about O'Leary's newest book.
Obviously, we get a huge dose of forced proximity with these characters yet the way they respected each other, cared for one another, and worked together to survive provided such a unique story for the couple. As someone who is constantly reading, I found the plot of this book to be interesting and kept me wanting to read, responsibilities be damned.
I didn't love something that pops up during the last, say 20% of the book, and for me, that cost this book a star. I won't say much because it's a huge spoiler. But if you are looking for a novel full of adventure, this book is it.
