Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 24, 2013
While running away from brothers of a lady love Jared Gilliland dodges aboard a cruise that is readying to leave port, when he arrives aboard he is mistaken for a crew member of the maintenance staff. When he cannot get off the ship in time he's stuck for two weeks, unless he can jump ship somewhere along the way.When Keri Smith sees a man running up the ramp to the ship, she thinks he's a stow-away and hurries to intercept him. But the only person she sees are arriving crew members - maybe she's mistaken and suddenly she smells her mate! Keri is overcome with wanting him and realizes he's the newest crew member - Mark Weaver. She expects to be accosted by her mate at any moment but it doesn't happen!I loved this storyline, an all shifter cruise, fantastic!  But it didn't deliver for me. The storyline was disjointed and left me asking questions, how could someone who came aboard with only the clothes he's standing in make purchases as someone else? Just who is Jared Gilliland - he's mentioned in a previous book but there's no background other than fuzzy suggestions, in this book. Keri indicates that she has no family but no info is given - why? There is just no background on her.I liked the characters and have enjoyed this series but this story seemed rushed and patched together. Definitely the least favorite of the series for me. Not the best read.
