Hearts Overboard

*Mini Review*

(Clean Romance YA Novel)

💕🛳️ Hearts Overboard by Becky Dean 🛳️💕

Tropes and things you’ll love: 

💛Rivals to Lovers 

💛Opposites Attract 

💛Forced Proximity 

💛Football jock + Science/Physics/ Engineering Nerd 

💛Cute Banter 

💛Travel Romance 

OH MY GOSH WHAT DID I JUST READ??!!!

I’m like fangirling so much right now 

Where do I start?

The banter, the characters, the cruise, the romance…. I loved EVERY. SINGLE. THING. 

Oh and I just LOVE the enemies-to-lovers trope, like a lot lol

I really liked how the book mainly focused on their cruise vacation and how fast paced it was, yet Becky Dean makes those 2 weeks last a whole book! All the cool activities that Tanner and Savannah got to do was written perfectly with the right pacing and a whole lot of fun. You can count on me reading and rereading this book when I go on vacation! 

Savannah was honestly not entirely my favorite, just because of the fact that she didn’t want to try anything new. I realize that yes, Tanner brought out the adventure in her more and that she went through some things that made her that way; but it almost seemed like she was afraid of everything. I did really like her by the end though… all the experiences and things she did with Tanner made her bloom! 

Ok, now for my favorite character.. we all know who it is.. Our very dear, very cute, very funny, and very sweet Tanner.
Ahhhhh what can I say about him?! 
Honestly, he’s a darling. I cannot with him.. like come on! From DAY ONE he was the sweetest thing to S’more! (Also I love that nickname , super cute) 
I seriously need someone in my life like Tanner.. what would I do if I never got a guy like him?! 
Anyways, Becky Dean wrote Tanner Pur-Fect-Ly. It almost seemed like Tanner had fallen first way before Savannah, I’m not sure.. but it really seemed like that way🧐🤔
Overall, all the characters were done so well, although I really didn’t like Tanner’s parents.😠

In conclusion, this was my first book I’ve read by Becky Dean and I can officially say that I’m in love with her writing! I adored Hearts Overboard and plan on reading every book by her in the future (as long as they’re clean)! I really enjoyed how clean it was; I give a 5/5 to this! For a YA book this was so refreshing not to find LGBTQ content, foul language, and nothing above sweet non-descriptive kisses. Dear author, please continue to write them this way! And to all of yall who are reading my review.. PLEASE GO READ THIS BOOK! You won’t regret it!

My rating: 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⚠️Age recommendation: 15+ ⚠️


🌹Romance: up to Sweet not-really-descriptive kissing

🤬Language: no cussing 

💣Violence: not really any 

POV: Savannah Moore 

(although I really wanted Tanner’s pov as well😢)
