Lindsay is given the chance of a lifetime when she is invited to embark on a 10-day cruise to the Caribbean. The cruise is for Lindsays mother and Walter Hunt, who are getting married. Lindsay makes plans for everything she hopes to accomplish on the cruise. Without her mother and Walter to watch her, Lindsay has complete freedom to do what she wants, until she meets Ryan.

Ryan is Walters godson, and Walter has given specific instructions for Ryan to keep watch on Lindsay. Soon, Lindsay gets caught up in the excitement that the ship has to offer, especially after meeting Brooke. Brooke is the complete opposite of Lindsay, a boy magnet who has no limits. Lindsay soon begins to meet new guys and experiences things that she has never done before, all the while Ryan is hovering over her and she cant explain it.

Lindsay begins to wonder if there is anything between Ryan and her. They seem to end up doing everything together: parasailing, snorkeling, partying, everything. And Ryan is always there to save her from trouble. So Lindsay has to rethink her relationship with Ryan and figure out what she wants.

I thought that this book was a great summer read. Its a light, fun romance to carry to the beach. The descriptions of the Caribbean were really great. The story can get annoying at times because Lindsay spends a lot of time complaining that she doesnt want to be with Ryan because he has ties with Walter. And I think that the author tried a little to hard to use language that would relate to teens, hence the repeated uses of Im down with that and various other phrases, which didnt really fit into the story. Other than that the story was good.
