But then there’s Jackson, the sexy Australian rep who she’s falling for, hook, line and sinker. Though any chance of romance is complicated by Maddie’s gift for chaos, the powerful family onboard ship (including their light-fingered five-year-old), and a supervisor with secrets he’ll do anything to keep hidden.

About The Author

My Review

This book is about a chaotic holiday that turns into an unexpectedly heartfelt adventure, blending romance, mystery, and travel mishaps in a nostalgic mid-1990s setting. Love Ahoy! by Jo Lyons is a quirky, fast-paced read that leans into the charm of pre-smartphone life, where missed connections and misunderstandings drive both the humor and the plot.

The throwback atmosphere is one of the novel’s biggest strengths. Once the story moves onto the cruise ship, the pacing sharpens and the enclosed setting gives the narrative focus, allowing the mystery elements to shine. The romance relies heavily on instant attraction rather than a slow emotional build, which may not work for all readers, but Maddie’s personal journey is genuinely rewarding. Watching her confidence grow as she pushes beyond her comfort zone adds depth and balance to the lighter moments.

A standout aspect is Maddie’s relationship with Emir, which brings warmth and emotional grounding amid the chaos. Tonal shifts between rom-com and mystery can feel abrupt, yet they also make the story feel playful and unpredictable. Overall, this is an offbeat, entertaining escape—perfect for readers who enjoy nostalgic vibes, travel chaos, and genre-blending romances with heart.

Marek’s world is on the ice, Nicki’s is on the stage. But their worlds collide in one steamy night in Vegas…🌶️

Marek

Playing for the New Jersey Storm I know how to handle the heat – on and off the ice. But nothing compares to Nicki Sullivan. We collided in Vegas: One wild night, no strings and a spark I couldn’t shake. We went our separate ways, but I never stopped thinking about her. When I see she’s involved in an accident that nearly takes her life, I drop everything and drive to New York. She’s broken, shaken… but still the woman who set my world alight. So I bring her home with me — to recover, to breathe… and maybe, to see if that spark between us still burns.

Nicki

After the accident, I can’t face the music — or the world. The last person I expect to show up is Marek — sinfully hot, too good to be real, and suddenly my rescuer. I should push him away. Instead, I let him take me to his apartment, where everything feels dangerously safe. But it’s not just comfort — it’s him. The heat between us is impossible to ignore and being with him feels right. But I can’t hide away forever. Falling for him is a risk because this time the ice beneath us may just crack.

My Review

This Book Is About two high-profile lives colliding when star hockey player Marek and rising pop sensation Nikki meet at an All Stars game and spark an instant, electric connection. Kelly Jamieson delivers a swoony sports-meets-celebrity romance that blends glamour, vulnerability, and genuine emotional growth.

Their early whirlwind feels deliciously impulsive, capturing the thrill of attraction when everything is shiny and possible. Reality soon intrudes, though, as demanding careers and long-distance pressures pull them apart. When Nikki is injured in a traumatic concert accident a year later, the story deepens. Marek’s instinctive return to her side reveals a hero with far more heart than his playboy reputation suggests, and his steady presence becomes a powerful source of comfort and healing.

What truly shines is Nikki’s emotional arc. As she recovers, she’s forced to confront the relentless pressure she’s placed on herself and reassess what success really means. The romance matures beautifully, moving beyond insta-love into something grounded, tender, and earned.

On Thin Ice is heartfelt, comforting, and quietly sexy—a satisfying read about second chances, emotional healing, and choosing love without giving up your dreams.
