Story
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind.

Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution.

reality cruse
A fun and entertaining romance read / listen with some great twists. Ruthie is fun and funny and Omasta does a great job of making you root for this klutzy heroine. Thrown unawares time and again you will be cheering for her to find her happily ever after. Throw in the mix a comedic granny and you've got a winning story line. Good story line flow - I was captured through out and still eager for more on Ruthie and Andrew...

The Love Boat Reality show!!!
I cannot even begin to say how much I enjoyed this book. It could be the nostalgia I feel for the TV show the Love Boat, and how I always dreamed of love matches being made with Captain Steubing running the ship. But I think in this case, it's the story Ann Omasta has crafted around an internet reality show with characters you love and love to hate! Ruthie takes the contract of being on the show without reading the fine print. What she encounters on the ship is surprising, humiliating, fascinating,you name it and it's there! The story is funny, fast paced, full of twists and turns, and of course love. I could not stop listening, waiting to see what would happen next and loved the way it all ended. And it set me up to want to hear the next episode of this story! I can't wait! Ann Omasta narrates the book too, so we get to hear it all exactly as she intended. She is quite the talent and I look for her releases!

Unexpected Love
This is a sweet story of lost love that finds itself again amidst the craziness of a reality internet show. Ruthie is looking for love on the open seas and is naive about what the producers have in mind for their show. There are lots of surprises and some downright nasty portrayal of Ruthie but in the end she finds her love.
Ann Omasta did a good job narrating this story.

Cruising for Love
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request via the Audiobook Boom website and have voluntarily left this review.
A reality TV show looking for ratings. Kardashian wannabes on a cruise ship. What could possibly go wrong? Get swept away with Ruthie Rose as she searches for true love on the reality show, Cruising for Love. I got swept away.
Ann Omasta is a talented writer. My only fault, if you can call it a fault, is in the beginning I felt like I was being read to. Yes, I know I was being read to, (hiding my smile) This was my first Ann Omasta but not my last!
Thanks to Audiobook Boom I have been introduced to another wonderful Author!

Great Read
Cruising for Love: The Escape Series, Book Two was a great read by Ann Omasta. Ruthie has been selected for a new reality television show which is a dream come true for her. She doesn't read the fine print of the contract before she signs the contract. The TV show is filmed on a cruise ship and many surprises happen that no one expects. Her stylist Sal is the only person that she can rely on. I loved reading this story and can't wait to read more by Ann Omasta.

The author did a great job of keeping you guessing and smiling at the same time. The characters were well done and you grew closer to them as the story evolved. She also did a good job with all the characters and brought everything to life as the narrator. I was given a free copy of this audio in return for an unbiased review.
