Ship Outta Luck

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A sunken treasure ship, smugglers, and a hot guy who's stuck with me— what could go wrong?I have only ever wanted one to find the Santu Espiritu, a five hundred year old Spanish treasure ship wrecked somewhere off the Texas Coast. When my grant funding evaporates, though, I'm risking more than my professional finding the treasure was my father’s lifelong wish, too. The father I thought was my best friend, until I'm in a hit and run with a hitman, and Dean, a swaggering stranger, commandeers my boat.With me in it— and I find out there's a whole lot I didn't know about my dad. According to Dean, my father wasn't a fishing guide, but a drug trafficker. Dean thinks I'm the key to finding a massive shipment of narcotics— me! A freaking history professor, whose idea of a getting lit involves eating cheese and crackers off the fancy plates on my couch. I have no idea where the drugs are, though Mr. Ex-Marine Dean and the traffickers missed that memo, since they're still chasing us.But when I realize my dad left a series of clues to a location smack dab in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, I assume the Santu Espiritu is wrecked out there. Dean thinks it’s the lost narcotics shipment. To find either, we'll have to work together, outwit the bad guys, and ignore our lust for more than Spanish gold.

    Want a book for the summer? This is it!

    This book was cute and a rush at the same time! I'm in love with June and with Dean!
    June is a professor who has been looking for a treasure ship all her life. She is incredibly intelligent, a little bit naive and a little bit awkward when it comes to social settings. After she loses her dad, she starts feeling like she is being watched. And in comes Dean. Hot ex-marine, a little rough around the edges. June's life turns upside down! Dean believes her father was a drug trafficker that left her coordinates for his last shipment of drugs. She believes he left her clues about the exact place of Santu Espiritu, the ship she's been looking for ages. They team up to find the ship while fighting off a group of Russian mops.

    This was such a fun read! It was filled with adventure and banter and the connection between June and Dean is just beautiful and sweet! Dean is a complete goner for June!

    The perfect book to read while laying by the swimming pool!

    I'm on Brittany Kelley ARC team and this opinion is my own.
