Knockin' Boats by DJ Jamison


The next romcom from DJ Jamison, Knockin' Boats takes us back to Swallow Cove for more inuendo and another HEA. 


From the blurb:

He was my best friend, and now I hate him. So why do I keep kissing him?

There was a time Ash and I were inseparable.

When I moved high schools, we went from friends to rivals. I could deal with that. But when he hooked up with my ex-girlfriend? We became enemies overnight.

The Ozarks is a big lake, but somehow he's always in my way. First at a flashy rival boat company, where we're always knockin' boats on booze cruises. Sometimes literally.

Now at the newly redeveloped Swallow Cove resort where I'm based.

Ash has some hair-brained idea to run a food boat for the resort. It's a silly fad that will never last. All flash and no substance, like him.

But now there's no avoiding the guy. Or his annoying face and perfect hair and cocky smiles always flashing my way.

Ash has always gotten whatever he wanted. My sports trophies. My ex-girlfriend. A job with *my* friends.

But as tension mounts between us and the heat of anger boils over into lust, I start to wonder:

What if the thing he wants most is me?

Knockin' Boats is Book 3 of the Swallow Cove series. It features ex-besties to enemies to lovers, a double bi-awakening, a super tight friend group, and a quirky lake town.


Heather's Review:

Former besties turned enemies turned... well doesn't that just scream rom-com... as does the renaming of the food boat menu to include Nauti Fries and Ex-Squid-Side Bites.. but I digress.  This was a sweet redemption story with a double bi-awakening, lots of kissing to shut the other person up and a chance to really embrace found family and accept that good things can happen when you share your thoughts and dreams.

I appreciated the pacing and detail in this story - although it revolved around Ash and Sawyer, we see the rest of the resort crew and so many other quirky town characters... including the weekend hookers and more.  

While this book could be read standalone, I think you'd benefit from reading the books in order, particularly to understand the dynamics of the side characters and get a bit of a peek into Ash and Sawyer's feud.
