Title: Marooned with My Celebrity Boss
Author: J.P. Sterling
Date: 2023
Quote: "I stole from the rich and gave to the poorest of the poor--me."
This one is even sillier than the usual romantic comedy. It was, Sterling tells us, written with some help from a six-year-old, so it has a Disney-movie atmosphere. The poor thief steals the pirates' treasure map, the movie star quarrels with her family and runs away, they sail off on her boat and wash up on a diamond-shaped island that fits the treasure map perfectly, but the treasure they find in the chest is a badly rhymed message telling them they're soulmates. Then the pirates catch them, but the thief turns out to be the son of...oh, read the book already. They'll marry as financial equals and live happily ever after.
I laughed while reading this ridiculous romance. You might, too. It's wholesome and sweet, with more adventures than sweet talk, more sweet talk than kissing, and no rude words--which seems odd for pirates, but you might find yourself laughing too much to care.
