Genre: Inspirational/Contemporary/Romance

When Charlotte Halloran’s husband, Phillip, was killed by a drunk driver, she knew she’d never love again. Charlotte takes her teenage daughter Chelle on a cruise, to get away form the memories of the first anniversary of Phillip’s death. The ship is luxurious, the food delicious, and the captain is handsome.

Gareth Von den Hout, ship captain, lost his wife to cancer. He’s determined to never be hurt again, and then he meets Charlotte Halloran and all his good intentions fly out to sea.

There are many reasons for Charlotte and Gareth not to pursue a relationship. The most important obstacle and the most formidable, is Chelle, who is still working through the grief of losing her father. Chelle sees Charlotte’s interest in Gareth as betrayal of Phillip. Can a shipboard romance blossom into true love in spite of all the reasons why it

shouldn’t?

Lena has delivered such a good sense of place, that after reading this book I felt like I had been on a cruise. I enjoyed it very much and Never say Never is a good selection for your Need to Read List.
