NEW YEAR'S ENDEAVOR Book 3 in the Adventure Cruise Line Series Love happens when you least expect it. Recently widowed Tammy Knox takes a holiday cruise at the urging of her daughter Avery and her best friend Dori Miller. Tammy is seeking a distraction from her increasingly lonely life, but she doesn't expect it to be in the form of her best friend's handsome, younger son. At first, she refuses to believe Josh Miller prefers her company over the bikini-clad twenty-somethings openly flirting with him. But when Josh's young son goes missing, Tammy is instrumental in his rescue, and the mutual attraction that flares between Josh and her grows too strong to ignore. Is their New Year's endeavor destined to be a shipboard fling or true love? A sensual contemporary romance, this 26,000 (approximately 100 pages) novella is easily read in a few hours.

New Year's Endeavor was a wonderful read.

Tammy goes on a cruise with her best friend in the hopes of starting fresh after losing her husband. She does not expect to find a new love prospect on the ship, but that is what she does. Dori wants her best friend to have some fun and when she finds out that her son, Josh has met Tammy, she lets those two see where things go. Josh is recently divorced and just looking forward to spending some time with his mom and his boys.

Will there be romance on the ship or will Tammy fend off all men on this trip?

You must read this really cute story to find out.

I highly recommend it.

Where do I find a man like Josh Miller? Gotta love everything about Loucinda's newest hero aboard the Adventure Cruise Lines ship! This novella is both sweet AND steamy!

Loucinda's a master of setting, and her descriptions of the ship's amenities and the shore trip to an intriguing (and it turns out, dangerous) ruin make you feel like you're part of the action.

I love this series and am looking forward to the next one!

A very good book and hard to put this book down. It is about a father with two boys on a cruise with his Mother and Mother's best friend during Christmas and New Year's Eve. The father falls for the friend and so do the boys; the three of them need a Mother to assist them when needed. Something happens to the younger son that pulls these people together.

Ah! Made me want to head to the nearest port and climb on a cruise ship! McGary perfectly catches the get-away romance of the sailing adventure. It was fun to read of the heroine's reticence and how little the things that concerned her were an issue to her suitor. The secondary romance was beautifully handled.

This book was well written and kept my interest throughout the whole reading. In fact, I forgot to eat dinner one night because I was so involved. I hope she follows up with this character for other books. I highly recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2013
I have never been disappointed in a story that MS McGary has written and this one is great I felt like I was on the cruise enjoying the scenery and cruise life with the characters. Tammy is on the cruise with her best friend Dori she is widowed and is not looking for love. Josh Dori's son is also on the cruise with his 2 sons and he is divorced and the minuite he spots Tammy he is drawn to her but Tammy is weary of him he is younger than her but Josh is determined and their sensual romance to a HEA is awesome I do love seeing couples fall for each other when they are convinced it will not happen, I loved it and highly recommend this one it gave me hours of reading pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love on the Lido Deck
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2014
I enjoyed this travel-themed romance for several reasons. I appreciated that the heroine and the hero weren't the typical twenty-somethings found in most romances, and that the heroine was a few years older than the hero, which I think makes the heroine's predicament even more relatable. The story takes place on a cruise ship, which is an ideal setting because given the confines of the ship, the hero and heroine can't avoid one another nor can they have complete privacy. With two subplots in the story, the pacing never lags. The characters were believable as was the setting. Ms. McGary definitely knows her way around a cruise ship. Another for the keeper shelf.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kreuzfahrt zum Verlieben
Reviewed in Germany on November 14, 2013

Tammy ist 48 Jahre alt und seit einigen Monaten verwitwet. Sie bucht mit ihrer besten Freundin Dori, die um 20 Jahre älter ist, eine Kreuzfahrt in die Karibik. Mit an Bord ist Josh, der Sohn von Dori und die zwei Enkelkinder. Tammy fühlt sich zu Josh hingezogen, kämpft aber gegen ihre Gefühle, da sie um fast 10 Jahre älter ist. Außerdem glaubt sie, dass Dori etwas dagegen haben könnte.

Diese Geschichte ist sehr gut und flüssig geschrieben. Die Charaktere sind liebenswert, die Handlung nachvollziehbar. Was mir besonders gut gefällt, sind die "Nebenhandlungen". Die Kinder sind eine Wucht. Der eine Sohn mit 10 Jahren noch richtig kindlich, der Andere mit 14 Jahren schon so richtig in der Pubertät. Die Situationskomik hat mich öfter zum Lachen gebracht, auch einige Erinnerung an meine Kinder geweckt. Auch das Dori einen Verehrer findet ist gut beschrieben. Leider haben sich einige (wenige) Fehler eingeschlichen, die den Lesefluss aber nicht stören.

Eine Leseempfehlung für alle Happy End Hungrige, die gerne eine leichte, fast jugendfreie Geschichte wollen.
