Review: Decent for a freebie but not memorable

The Amazon Best Seller's free list under romance is rough as all get out. 99.4% of those books are God awful. It's rough, really rough to find a diamond in them. Ship of Dreams isn't a diamond but in that company, it's about the best you're going to get. I picked this up when it was number 1 on the freebie list.I couldn't help but think of the characters as on the Titanic even though they weren't. The beginning wasn't great but it was hooking enough to get my attention but it lags more often than not.Towards the middle I found myself skimming because it got a little boring. Not horrible but just boring to where I wanted to snap my fingers and say move it along people.A decent fictionalized semi-love story based around a true event but you forget that because the story itself is really kind of boring in way too many places.Then it ended up in a nice bow. A little too 11thr hour for my taste. I hate all issues being wrapped up and characters finally getting it together when my Kindle for PC tells me the book's at >95%. That feels like a waste and that the rest o the book was just filler.If you have Prime, it's not an awful read so why not. But currently it's $3.99. It lagged too much for 4 bucks. It's a $0.99 cent story without a doubt because it's just decent. Not even close to be noteworthy and really unmemorable.
