Louise "Lou" Riley agrees to tag along with her friends on a Valentine's Day cruise around Seattle's Lake Union. Donning their best 1920s attire, they board the old-fashioned paddle wheeler steamboat for an evening that's expected to be the bee's knees. Lou plans to shed her third wheel status onboard when she joins Nate, who she's been sweet on for months. But when a mishap sends the dashing (and single!) Landon Harper to her aid, Lou discovers that cupid may have other plans for her love life, and she and Landon share an unforgettable few hours together. Then, a surprise announcement sends everyone into a frenzy.

Will Lou and Landon live happily ever after? Or maybe Lou and Nate are meant to be? Find out where the cherub's arrow lands in Cupid on Deck, a roaring good time aboard a love boat reminiscent of the jazz age.

Short, simple and sweet

Nancy Scrofano's Cupid on Deck (read more about it here) is a quick and fun read for any of my fellow single gals looking to commiserate on Valentine's Day.

This was a super cute, short read worth the time spent enjoying it. I laughed out loud, sighed and found myself totally crushing on Landon while liking Lou. That's a pretty tall order and major accomplishment for a story that took less than an hour to read.

The story was unique and sweet. It managed to give enough background about the characters to have their story make sense while leaving enough mystery to build to the ending. Speaking of the happily ever after, this story's finale had me sighing with happiness and left a smile on my face long after reading it.

If you enjoyed Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl (read my review here), you'll certainly be a fan of the 20s party theme that came with this book. Carrying Scrofano's signature vintage feel, this was a great stand alone story while also melding well with the niche she has created for herself in her debut novel, True Love Way (read my review here).

I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking to spend a little bit of time watching two crazy kids find love on a boat.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and balanced review.

This Novelette is the Cat's Pajamas!

I am a sucker for anything Valentine's-related and my favorite era is the Roaring Twenties, so the premise of Cupid On Deck instantly appealed to me. I really can't think of a better way to spend the most romantic night of the year than on a steamboat, wearing flapper finery! Lou Riley, the heroine of this story, isn't quite as jazzed about the possibility, mostly because she feels like a third wheel with her so-in-love-it's-a-bit-annoying friends Meg and Max. She is cherishing the hope that Nate, her supposed date for the evening, will make the cruise an outing to remember, but things don't go as planned for the twosome and she winds up in another man's arms for the big Charleston dance-off (Fun!)

I think what I appreciated most about Cupid On Desk was how well-developed the characters were. The reader gets interesting and relevant backstories on not just the heroine, but also her best friend and love interest. That's quite a feat within the confines of a novelette! Also, there was a nice character arc for Lou.
