SOME REVIEWS FROM AMAZON:
Cinders - This review is from: LOVE OVERBOARD (Kindle Edition) Love Overboard is the perfect holiday read or summer read or winter read or the old man's gone to rugby read. In fact its the perfect anytime read.
You will effortlessly glide through the past and the present.....but will Lucie and Nick?
This book had me laughing, crying, holding my breath, nodding my head in acknowledgment, ignoring the housework and forgetting to put the other halfs dinner on :-0 as i couldnt put it down.
The characters are realistic,complicated and flawed. Nothing is beyond the realms of believability and it isnt the usual format of boy meets girl and everything is perfect. However, you wont find any spoilers here you'll just have to read it for yourself.
May i suggest you settle yourself down with a cuppa a wispa bar and a clear diary...............oh and send the old man to the chippy!!
JulesBrads - This review is from: LOVE OVERBOARD When I say that I couldn't put this book down.......it has been to work with me, in the bath with me, in bed with me, I just couldn't put it down.
For me, this book has it all...friendship, love, passion, humour, sorrow, broken hearts, guilt, anger and frustration. Bev Dulson has a way with words that allows you to become lost in her book. You instantly fall in love with the characters (those that don't smell of Vanderbilt) and you feel all of their emotions along with them. You feel their pain and heartache and feel their love and joy. Over the last few days I have cried tears of sorrow and delight and I have giggled my way through the story. I have laughed out loud at Bev Dulsons fabulous wit. This is a fantastic holiday read, buy a copy and get it packed in your suitcase. Great work once again from Bev Dulson, I am awaiting her next book with great anticipation.
LOVE OVERBOARD - Meet the characters
LUCIE (Ali Bastin would make the perfect Lucie)
Lucie is our heroine, she is quiet and shy but a fun loving girl at heart. She instantly connects with Zoey when they meet on Oceania - they share a smilar sense of humour. She is quite strong willed and generally knows what she wants.
She also attracts the attentions of Nick, one of the ships entertainment guys, which leads to a whirlwind romance. He brings her out of her shell and lose control of her senses, she has the best two weeks of her life. Back in England life moves on, with Nick and Lucie losing touch. She then meets Ant...one half of the gorgeous rugby playing twins - Adam & Ant. Life is pretty good, she's settled and happy with Ant...but what happens when Nick returns?

ZOEY (model Chloe Marshall)
Zoey is Lucie's best friend, their two weeks in the Caribbean making them ship mates for life. She is loud, always making jokes, and never stops talking. She uses her bubbly nature to hide her insecurities. She adores her husband Adam and her friendship with Lucie is very important to her. She worries that the return of Nick could spell disaster...but she has baby making plans to help take her mind off it.
NICK SLATER -Scott Maslen ;o)
NIck is responsible for entertaining the passengers onboard Oceania - he takes his role very seriously, especially when he meets the lovely Lucie. He charms her with the cheeky glint in his eye and his sexy smile. Their passionate two weeks is something he's never forgotten and when he finally leaves the ship to attempt life on dry land she is at the fore front of his mind. Would she still fall under his spell now or had she moved on? There was only one way to find out...
ANT MAXWELL (England Rugby player Ben Cohen)
Ant is the younger half (by five minutes) of the afore mentioned "gorgeous rugby playing twins" Adam & Ant. Ant tends to find himself in his twin brothers shadow, but that never bothers him too much. He is also the husband of Lucie, who he really loves, but sometimes has trouble showing her.
ADAM MAXWELL (Another chance too look at pics of Ben Cohen!!)
Adam, the older twin is married to Zoey, they are perfect for each other - both totally crazy. He is the more assertive twin and is very protective of his younger brother. He is quite happily loved up with Zo and making note of all her instructions from them to get pregnant - no hot baths or tight pants (so he better whip those ones off in the photo - sorry!!!)
THE MOTHER IN LAW!!!!
The bain of Lucie & Zoey's life... The Mother in Law or Old Ma Maxwell is the err "term of endearment" they use for her. She's interfearing, sticks her nose into everything, wears dodgy twin sets and could cause death by over exposure to Vanderbilt perfume. She adores her twin boys and in her eyes she should be number one in her boys' lives, so Lucie and Zo are not her favourite people, how very dare they take her boys away! She is far too opinionated and is the only person who thinks she's funny.
Things aren't all plain sailing when Nick returns looking for the love of his life...
Pictures of "The Ship"
Picture one is of the atrium - usually the center point of the ship. The decks are quite open so you can see right from the top of the atrium down to where the comfy chairs are in reception. This is where Zoey and Lucie place themselves when they are on duty for their customers. There is also a lot of hustle & bustle in the atrium in the evening time, lots of photographs being taken and the captain will usually do the "welcome aboard" speech from the top of the atrium.
Picture Two is a snap shot of a "party night" out on deck, could be a tropical night, cocktail party - whatever the event, it's the place to be, partying the night away with the wind in your hair! The big screen is for "Movie under the stars". The party deck isn't the highest deck on the ship, there are smaller ones higher up out of shot.
Picture Three - literally sailing off into the sunset, there is nothing like it!
Picture Four is what Zoey & Lucie's cabin would've looked like - it's just as well they got on, not enough room to swing a cat in there - the cabin probably wouldn't be this tidy either...
