Sailing at Sunset

She can handle anything in her job......even a week on a boat
with a handsome but annoying sailor...

Josh tells himself he’s the luckiest guy in the world. Living on his sailboat and taking tourists on occasional chartered trips, he’s not tied down to routines and responsibilities. He even named his sailboat Solitude, because that’s what he enjoys much of the time.

Danae works at a boat company, and she just got promoted—sort of. To keep her dream job, she must get her opinionated coworkers to all agree on a marketing plan. Her boss directs her to set up a week-long sailing tour with them as a work trip and a bonding experience.

At first, Danae isn’t completely on board with Josh’s laid-back approach to the excursion. But during visits to quaint New England towns and seafaring adventures, she and Josh start to see one another’s true colors…and Josh begins to question his solitary life.

This feel-good romance includes a free Hallmark original recipe for Crunchy Salmon Cakes.



MY REVIEW: I very much enjoyed author Cindi Madsen's "Sailing at Sunset: A feel-good romance from Hallmark Publishing"--a sweet, summery love story where opposites attract, sparks fly, and seeing yourself through another's eyes may be the best view yet! I loved the beautiful New England coastal tour filled with wonderful, quaint places I would love to visit and delicious food and wine that I would love to sample-- the book includes an Original Hallmark Recipe for "Crunchy Salmon Cakes". Danae Danvers has just landed the promotion of her dreams--Chief Marketing Officer at the Barton Boating Company. However, it's an interim position--contingent upon her ability to improve her communications with her coworkers and become a true team player worthy of being the team leader. Much to the dismay of the super-organize, Danae, her boss sets up a "corporate retreat" week-long boat tour for Danae and her team to strengthen their working relationships. Josh Wheeler had willingly turned his back on the corporate world, preferring life on the open sea, sailing his own boat, "Solitude", and occasionally taking work as a boat captain for private tours. After being bombarded with emails from Dane Danvers before the launch, he wasn't really looking forward to meeting the apparently uptight perfectionist. Frustrated by the lack of response to her emails from Josh Wheeler, Danae's anxiety levels had risen even higher regarding the successful outcome of the trip--it meant so much for the future for her and her family. When Josh and Danae meet and begin their journey, sparks--personal and professional--do fly--and each is a bit nonplussed by the other. A definite awareness turns toward an attraction, and as Josh begins to see beyond Danae's need for control, she starts to fall for his easy-going charm. They both have issues to overcome, and seeing themselves through one another's eyes may just give them a clearer view of the future. Josh may have more of a need for companionship and involvement than he realized. Danae begins to realize that when things don't go as planned, they may just turn out better than expected. Can the two of them blend together their opposite outlooks and create a future together filled with more love and laughter than they ever imagined? "Sailing at Sunset" is a delightful contemporary tale--just perfect for Summer breezes, tall, frosty tropical drinks, and sweet dreams of romance at sea.
