About this listen
Two strangers find themselves stranded at sea together in this epic new love story by bestselling author Beth O’Leary.
What if you were lost at sea…with your one-night stand?
Zeke and Lexi thought it would just be a night of fun. They had no intentions of seeing each other again. Zeke is only in town for the weekend to buy back his late father’s houseboat. Lexi has no time for dating when she needs to help take care of her best friend's daughter.
Going back home with a stranger seems like a perfect escape from their problems. But a miscommunication in the dark, foggy night means no one tied the houseboat to the dock. The next morning, Zeke and Lexi realize all they can see is miles and miles of water.
With just a few provisions on the idle boat, Zeke and Lexi must figure out how to get back home. But aside from their survival, they’re facing another challenge. Because when you’re stuck together for days on end, it gives you a lot of time to get to know someone—and to fall in love with them.

Story
In 1795, Catherine the Great of Russia was in search of a bride for her grandson Constantine, who stood third in line to her throne. In an eerie echo of her own story, Catherine selected an innocent young German princess, Julie of Saxe-Coburg, aunt of the future Queen Victoria. Though Julie had everything a young bride could wish for, she was alone in a court dominated by an aging empress and riven with rivalries, plotting, and gossip—not to mention her brute of a husband. She longed to leave Russia and her disastrous marriage, but her family in Germany refused to allow her to do so.

A former sorority girl, Leigh’s the first to admit she knows more about the lyrics of Taylor Swift than T.S. Eliot, and she’s never been able to shake the “all-style-no-substance” feedback her high school crush made in their poetry workshop.

LaRynn Lavigne and Deacon Leeds had one short and contentious summer fling when they were teens—certainly nothing to build a foundation on. But a decade later, when their grandmothers have left them with shared ownership of their dilapidated Santa Cruz building, they're thrust back together and have to figure out how to brace up the pieces. LaRynn has the money, but in order to access her trust, she has to be married. Deacon has the construction expertise, but lacks the funds. A deal is struck: Marry for however long it takes to fix up the property, collect a profit, and cut ties.

Critic reviews
"Swept Away is that rare story that feels like a brand new version of romance - with unlikely lovers in a confined space in a way you've never quite seen before. Suffice to say I drowned - happily - in this book."—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"An epic romance expertly woven into an adventure thriller, Swept Away had me swooning and gasping at the turn of every page. Truly, no one writes falling in love like Beth O’Leary, and this one completely stole my heart."—Annabel Monaghan, USA Today bestselling author of Summer Romance
"Who knew abandoned oil rigs could be so romantic? Swept Away is a one of a kind story and an absolute treat. Completely original, so romantic, funny, fresh and deeply heartfelt, this is Beth O'Leary at her very best. Zeke and Lexi are compelling, complex characters you can't help but root for, with a love story that had me hooked from page one. Swept Away has my whole heart."—Lindsey Kelk, Sunday Times bestselling author

Story
Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud. And they’re both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years—or at least to meet with the octogenarian who claims to be the Margaret Ives. Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century.

Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past—now she may be lighting her career on fire.

Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay.

Great narration, disappointing third act
Ugh, I wanted this book to be 5 stars, but the third act killed it. Beth wrote a totally original 2/3 of a book, and then it was like she got scared and turned cliche. I hate conflict based on miscommunication, and Lexi would have known better. Fabulous narrators though.

Soothing and lovely
I truly enjoyed this book start to finish. I’m unclear on the meh reviews. I loved the narrators, I loved the story of love between Zeke and Lexi. Even the ending was great. I wasn’t left wanting. Beth O’Leary always delivers poignant stories with twists that clearly show her writing skills and love of her characters.

Stressful!
I liked the love story portion of the book, but the survivalist part really stressed me out. I found myself speeding it up in parts just to get through it.
