A week on a luxury cruise ship, with a suitcase full of clothes and all expenses paid? Yes, please! The only catch is that she has to pretend to be someone else. No problem. Siggy has no intention of getting close enough anyone to discover her secrets.But this is the Oceanic Aphrodite and love is in the air. When Siggy sees assistant cruise director Will taking tickets, Cupid’s arrow hits the target. Luckily, Will’s too busy smiling at her to check out her fake passport because he’ll toss Siggy off the ship if he finds out about the scam. Onboard, dolphins and cameras and runaway ferrets bring Siggy and Will together. The more time they spend together, the more Siggy wants to tell him the truth.
Cupid’s arrow has struck deep but can Siggy stop running?
This novella-length romantic comedy is the first book in the Oceanic Dreams series.

Can Siggy convince Will to give her a chance?

I Saw Him Standing There by Holly Kerr is a fabulous story of romance on a cruise ship. This book is a marvelous start to the Oceanic Dreams series.

Seraphina “Siggy” Park-Smith a.k.a. Petra Van Brereton

Siggy, wow! Siggy has got a lot going on. Let’s say that she has multiple names and what seems like personalities to go with them. Siggy changes so much throughout the story. It’s like being on the cruise not only helped her find love but also herself. Siggy still needs to let go of her guilt, but I feel like she is on her way to being the best Seraphina Park-Smith yet. She has a new job, a new man and her family back.

Will McKay

Will is an officer on the Oceanic Aphrodite cruise ship and as it turns out the first guy that Siggy meets and he believes that she is Petra. He is a nice guy and he is the goody-goody type. However, he isn’t a photographer. We learn a bit about Will, but the story is from Siggy’s point of view, so we don’t get into his head. Will does have some cool hangouts on the island stops.

5 Stars for I Saw Him Standing There by Holly Kerr

My rating for I Saw Him Standing There by Holly Kerr is five stars. I completely loved the story. Siggy is great. The romance between her and Will is sweet. The setting itself is spectacular, and I felt like I was on this beautiful cruise myself. Oh, and sign me up for one of the martinis.

If you are looking for a quick summer read, I recommend I Saw Him Standing There by Holly Kerr. Now, I am on to Time of My Life by Laura Heffernan.
