Full Steam Ahead is an intriguing read that goes beyond the usual offering of New Adult romances that I've read lately. There's so much more to the story than just the simple girl meets boy and falls head over heels. I very much enjoyed and appreciated the change of pace that Valerie Chase offered with the first book in her Sea Swept series.At first, the characters seem like the typical New Adult stereotypes, but they quickly exceeded my expectations. Georgia was a brilliant protagonist. Her struggles with accepting the failure of her "perfect" relationship will hit home with readers. Getting to know her was definitely enjoyable. Jace wasn't the normal bad-ass hero, either. He had very real struggles, too. The other characters were all well written, too. I cannot wait to discover more about them with the next book in this series.Valerie Chase has found her calling as a prolific and intriguing New Adult author. She brings a refreshing edge to the genre. Her story draws you in and keeps your interest. I would recommend Full Steam Ahead to any fan of the New Adult genre who enjoys their romance with a side of adventure.**I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. My thanks to Valerie Chase.
