Publisher's summary

Stephanie Lowe decides Maine schooner captain and pirate descendent Ivan Rasmussen deserves to be called Ivan the Terrible. The house she just bought from him is falling apart and possibly haunted. He complains about her fish-eye stew and burnt chocolate chip cookies. He makes fun of her hair after she's had to comb it while using a toaster as a mirror. And on top of all that, he has the nerve to be charming, handsome, and overboard in love with her. This is one pirate captain who is determined to acquire the treasure of a lifetime.
©1989, 2005 Janet Evanovich (P)2005 HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.

Critt & Evanovich keep me laughing!

After reading all of the Stephanie Plum series I have to disagree with the other reviews. I have listened to the Abridged versions with celebrity readers who don't do the books justice. It was a nice read while I wait for the next Stephanie Plum book. The reader knows the author so well!

OverDone

Typical Janet story with mystery and quirky antics.The narration good for this genre of story.It was a bit over the top with the extent their friends and family went to get together Ian and Stephanie.Alot of mess and mayhem.A bit outlandish and improbable for reality.

Overbored? Read This!

Love Overboard is a quick, fun listen! Evanovich amazes me with the quality of the books she turns out. I do wish she would use a different narrator though, Critt's voice is annoying and difficult to take seriously.

light reading

Light hearted and fun listening...not meant to be a serious, thought provoking story. The perfect escape after a very long work day.

Love the content, not the reader

The story is perfect Evanovich, but the reader is completely wrong for the story. She mades Stephanie seem old and goofy, not the character projected in the book. Her tone doesn't match the moods of the scene at all.

Fun romp!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I'd recommend this book to someone looking for a fun fluff read. If this book were a television show it'd be a good sitcom.

What does C.J. Critt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

C.J. Critt is one of my favorite readers. She does such a great job of communicating all of the different nuances of the characters she is reading. I actually selected this book because I had just recently completed listening to another book she read.
