Smooth Sailing by Lori Wilde is a charming, witty, lusty, adventure that will leave you with a smile on your face!

As they make their way to stop a wedding, Haley fall’s for Jeb, but believing Jeb to be in love with another woman, she doesn’t feel like she stands a chance. Will Jeb be able to see that his heart rests with Haley before it is too late?
I enjoyed Smooth Sailing very much! At times it was laugh out loud funny, at other times it was deeply sexy and romantic. It is clear that Ms. Wilde did a lot of research for this book. Each chapter starts out with a nautical term and definition, making it easy to understand the different terminology used in the book.
I highly recommend this book to those who are looking for a fast, fun read that will keep you up late at night, rooting for Jeb and Haley!
