Love Overboard
Love Overboard by Janet Evanovich is a romantic tale that combines humor and charm, published by HarperCollins on January 25, 2005. This 272-page edition presents a re-release of a story originally part of a series of short romance novels written before the author’s more famous works. The narrative features a handsome ship’s captain, a wary woman from Jersey City, and a unique setting involving a hundred-year-old schooner and a town of shoemakers.
Readers will find a lively mix of romance and comedy, with elements such as getting naked and blueberry pie woven into the plot. The book retains its original spirit while undergoing minor edits for clarity. This edition invites readers to experience the author’s journey of research and discovery, which included a memorable family road trip to Maine, where the love for boats and sailing inspired the story.
Official synopsis Publisher
Dear Reader:
In a previous life, before the time of Plum, I wrote twelve short romance novels. Red-hot screwball comedies, each and every one of them. Nine of these stories were originally published by the Loveswept line between the years 1988 and 1992. All went out-of-print immediately and then could be found only at used bookstores and yard sales.
I’m excited to tell you that those nine stories are now being re-released by HarperCollins. Love Overboard is second in the lineup, and it’s presented here in almost original form. I’ve done only minor editing to correct some embarrassing bloopers missed the first time around. And I changed the title because I thought the original title (Ivan Takes a Wife) was boring!
Love Overboard is a romantic tale about a handsome ship’s captain; a wary wench from Jersey City; a hundred-year-old, two-masted schooner; and an entire town of shoemakers. There’s some getting naked, some blueberry pie, more getting naked, and at the end . . . Okay, I won’t tell you about the end, but it’s really good and it’ll make you feel happy.
I took my family on the road trip from heck to research this book. When we finally got to Maine it was all worthwhile because we fell in love with the boats and the people who sailed them.
Enjoy!
