A bachelor party on a cruise ship. What could go wrong?
When private detective Francie is hired to spy on a groom-to-be as he and his bachelor party set sail for the Caribbean, she thinks she's landed herself a week of paid vacation. Between lounging in the sun and sipping margaritas, she just needs to--best case scenario--report back that he's on the up and up, or--the unfortunate, more likely scenario--snap a few photos of her target in compromising positions, buy a box of sympathy chocolates for her client, and then collect her pay along with a nice golden suntan.
Blame it on the island breezes or the alcohol, but within hours of setting sail, Francie's leisurely vacation gets complicated when she starts making careless mistakes. Like accidentally becoming friends with the groom and falling for his best man.
Can she get herself and her mission back on track, or has she blown her cover and possibly even her career?
This novella-length romantic comedy is book five in the Oceanic Dreams series.

Will Francie’s professional life win over her love life?

I Will Follow Him by Holly Tierney-Bedord is a marvelous story about a shy girl finding herself, love and friendship aboard the Oceanic Aphrodite cruise ship. I so adored the story and it grabbed me from the beginning.

Francie Medding

Francie is our point of view and main character. She is a private investigator from Hammond, Indiana. Francie takes a job from Danielle to follow her fiancé on the Oceanic Aphrodite cruise that his buddies booked for his bachelor trip. This job will be easy since she does stuff like this a lot. What Francie doesn’t realize is that she is prettier than she thinks and gets drawn into the group of bachelors.

I think that Francie is a beautiful character. She has integrity and grows so much throughout the story. Since Francie lost her mom at twelve, she needed someone to believe in her to see her full potential.

Eli Acorn

Eli is a science teacher from Gary, Indiana. He is the best friend to Evan, the groom for whom they are all there. Eli and his friends invite Francie and three ladies that she was hanging with to join them in for drinks. These drinks lead to an immediate attraction between Eli and Francie.

I like that Eli doesn’t judge or force his friend Evan into anything. He lets him make up his mind, yet he supports whichever decision Evan makes. He does the same with Francie, except with reasonable consequences.

Danielle

Ok, seriously this chick has significant issues. Talk about spoiled brat. She so totally takes that cake. How she got Evan to date, her is such the question. Danielle is out for money, and love has nothing to do with it. I don’t know how she has friends at all.

4 Stars for I Will Follow Him by Holly Tierney-Bedord

My rating for I Will Follow Him by Holly Tierney-Bedord is four stars. I loved this story. Francie and Eli make such a terrific couple, and their friends are so great together. The only question that I have is how the agreement between Danielle and Evan work out once they return to Indiana?

I recommend I Will Follow Him by Holly Tierney-Bedord. It’s a splendid read.
