Full Steam Ahead by Valerie ChaseI received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.Georgia is about to embark on a college cruise with her sorority sisters and tons of others from neighboring Greek communities.  After a recent break up with her boyfriend, Hunter, she is leery to take the trip, while her ex will be on the same ship.  The plan was to room with her uber rich boyfriend, but after the breakup she is forced to find more affordable living conditions and that just so happens to be with Jace.  Jace is Hunter's fraternity brother and has some secrets of his own.  For years, Georgia has been forced to "keep up with Jones's" if you will.  Her family has experienced extreme financial trouble but for appearance sake, Georgia has acted if everything was okay.  But it's not just that her family is in debt, there is another secret.I read this one in a day, and while I have said it before, I will repeat myself again, this played out like a movie in my head.  At first I was turned off by the young nature of the book, it's been a long time since I was in college, but if you actually jump into the setting, with the characters you will be immersed.  Imagine taking a college cruise with your friends, dodging your ex on the other side of the ship and being bunk mates with a super hot guy.  What's not to like?This is a contemporary, new adult romance, there are some super hot scenes and you genuinely want to see Georgia throw everything to the wind and fight of herself.  Honestly, near the end I was pretty proud of her for standing up to lots of people in the story.  What a great debut novel from Valerie Chase.  This is the first in the series, but don't worry, this doesn't end in a cliffhanger and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book!I would like to thank the author, for allowing me to read and review her book; I will be counting the days until the next is released!
