Follow the rules. Be reliable. Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve.
Living by these words didn’t put librarian Isla Hunter any closer to the life she imagined at thirty. With her birthday in only a few days, she can’t wait to sail away on a week in the sun with her friends Asher and Charlotte. It may be just what she needs.
When an attractive woman takes a liking to Asher, Isla’s heart feels threatened in an unfamiliar way. She’s used to Asher flipping through women like a playbook without a second thought, but this time it’s different. As she tries to sort out her emotions, she struggles with Asher’s connection with this woman. Is it time for Isla to finally break the rules or will that only lead her in hot water?
Circle in the Sand is the third book in the Oceanic Dreams series. This is a multi-author series and each book can be read on its own.

Will Isla and Asher find love on the Oceanic Aphrodite?
Circle in the Sand by Tracy Krimmer is a lovely romance. I think that this story reinforces that sometimes love is right in front of your eyes.
Isla Hunter
Isla is our main character and only point of view. She is turning thirty, and she is going on the Oceanic Aphrodite cruise ship to celebrate with Charlotte and Asher her best friends. The last year has been a massive change for Isla as she broke up with her boyfriend Tim and she is turning thirty.
I feel like Isla grew throughout the story. It was like the veil of her ex-boyfriend was finally lifted, and she’s now able to see who she is, who she wants to be, and who she wants to be with. I liked her love of books and the excitement that she has for her job. The only thing that drove me a bit nuts is she would see or hear something, and her mind would seriously wander.
Asher Boyd
Asher has been friends with Isla and Charlotte since college. He also knew Isla in high school, but they weren’t really friends. Asher is sort of a playboy; he goes through lots of girlfriends. At least that is what Isla thinks.
I like Asher, he is nice, and he really stood by Isla’s side when she needed a friend. He is such a patient man. The only thing that I didn’t like was that he wasn’t open about his feelings, but then again, Isla wasn’t really receptive at the time.
Charlotte
Charlotte had to skip the cruise because her brother, who’s in the Army was coming home on leave and she didn’t want to miss him. Even though Charlotte wasn’t on the cruise, I feel like she played an intricate part in getting Isla and Asher together. Charlotte is also hilarious. She has got to be a great best friend.
