21 May 2026|

Title: Swept Away

Author: Beth O’Leary

Genre: Romance

Main Characters:

  • Lexi – lead female
  • Zeke – lead male
  • Penny – Lexi’s best friend
  • Mae – Penny’s daughter and Lexi’s favourite little girl

Summary:

Lexi is looking for no-strings-attached fun with a stranger. She deserves one night for herself, doesn’t she?

Zeke is looking for love. But for one night with a woman like Lexi, he’ll break his rules…

Sparks fly at the pub, one passionate kiss leads to another and they end up stumbling home to the marina together. The next morning, hungover and shaken by an amazing night together, Lexi is more than ready for Zeke to leave. There’s just one small problem… the houseboat they stayed on has swept out to sea. as their supplies start to run dangerously low, and the waves pick up, Zeke and Lexi soon realise there’s much more on the line than their new relationship.

How long can they really survive on a drifting houseboat in the North Sea? Will search and rescue find them? And who will they be if they both make it back to dry land?

Verdict:

I loved this very-easy and very-cute read. I love a good romance and happy ending (oops, sorry!) and this sweet story had me speeding through the pages. It’s also exactly what I needed after a few heavy, hard to read, struggled to finish books of late! Do yourself a favour with this one…

Have you read it? What did you think?
