Swept Away by Beth O'Leary

 


Lexi is looking for no-strings-attached fun.

Zeke is looking for love.

Neither of them were looking for a one-night stand to become 
their one and only lifeline.

But when they wake up after an unforgettable night together, the houseboat they stayed on has been swept out to sea. There's no signal, no steering and no sign of rescue.

And as the waves pick up and supplies run low, Zeke and Lexi realise there's much more on the line than their new relationship.

I couldn't wait to be swept away ( see what I did there!) with this book by Beth O'Leary. I have come to know and love this authors ability to write story lines from both male and female points of view in unusual forced proximity settings and this one is no exception as we join Lexi and Zeke on an extended one night stand that leaves them stranded out at sea on a boat.

As the couple face challenging and dangerous situations while they hope to be rescued they actually start to open up and not only really get to know each other but without the distractions of the real world around them they begin to help each other discover more about themselves too and I loved watching their self discovery and confidence grow. 

This is a cheeky book because just as your gently bobbing along towards the latter part of this book there is suddenly a twist that even though I am telling you there is a twist you WILL NOT see it coming! There are no clues it just pops up and bites you on the bum!
