I am very excited to join the blog tour celebrating the release of "Ship-Wrecked" by Cassie Cross, book #6 of the Love Is... series. It reads as a total standalone, though I have previously read and enjoyed most of the earlier books in the series.
I'm generally a fan of Hollywood romances, and this short, sweet story was no exception. Female lead Skye was delightful when she was introduced in her brother's story ("The Layover"), but she was even more likeable as I got to know her better here. The meet-cute between Skye and male lead River was completely adorable and I could easily see it playing out on a movie screen. River and Skye had fantastic chemistry from the very beginning, and while their relationship may have started out as a "showmance," it quickly became apparent that their feelings for each other were completely real.
Overall,
I loved "Ship-Wrecked" and highly recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I look forward to the next book in the series!

About "Ship-Wrecked"
Skye McLane is Hollywood’s newest It Girl. Between the film offers flying in and the ever-present awards buzz around her, Skye seems to have everything, until pictures of her heartthrob boyfriend cheating on her are splashed all over the internet. Heartbroken, Skye just wants to focus on her work and lick her wounds in private, but her publicist has another plan.
His name is River Holloway.
River’s a rising star with a penchant for finding trouble wherever he goes. He has a new movie coming out and some career-making deals in the works, but River’s getting the wrong kind of attention after a couple of fights captured by the paparazzi. What he needs is an image rehab, and his publicist thinks Skye is just the girl who can give it to him.
America’s newest sweetheart and a bad boy in need of a little TLC seems like the perfect recipe for some positive press. It’s strictly a showmance with a pre-determined expiration date, until a trip to a tropical paradise leaves them shipwrecked, and their time alone together makes them realize that their feelings might not be for show after all…
