Review: A Quirky Lil Romantic Comedy
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 16, 2013
Ahoy, Mate!  "Worse Things Happen At Sea," is Beverly Watts' maiden voyage as an author.  Her debut book is a bloody cute little romance.  It didn't leave me in proverbial "stitches" from laughter, which is partly due to a personality quirk of mine which is explained in the next couple of sentences, but it certainly had it's moments.  In fact, I'm smiling right now because I'm thinking of a couple of these moments. Under Amazon's rating system 4 stars mean "I like it" and I did.Although, I have read quite a few books in the comedic genre it is not one of my all time favorite genres in books or movies.  For example, if I was a member of a two person comedy team, I would be the "Straight Man," women in my case, meaning that my personality is more akin to Mr. Darcy rather than Bridget Jones.  Consequently, I think that readers who's favorite genre includes romantic comedies should definitely give this book a go.  Mind you, it will require navigating the languistic seas of British slang and naval academy jargon, however, with Bev, the author & the story's protagonist as your guide, or is it at the helm, you should have smooth sailing.  It's a cute, quirky, & lighthearted read that will, at the very least, leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy.  At least that's how I felt when I finished reading it.  BTW, Adorable cover too.Here's wishing Beverly Watts continued success, inspirations and numerous adventures!p.s. I should apologize for all the British and sailing puns but to do so would be insincere because I got a "hoot" out of coming up with each and every one, LOL, besides once you read the book, and I hope you do, you'll get it. Happy reading!
