 3.5 stars 
 Declan Mc Gillis has been working on charter yachts for several years, his ultimate goal is to become a Captain and run his own yacht. To achieve his goal he has focused on learning as much as he can from his current Captain and not being a big partier. Over the years he has developed an aversion to rich people because of the way they treat the crew on their trips. So when Declan learns about the next set of passengers, who are going on a 10 cruise for $200,000, he automatically assumes they will be as bad, if not worse, than previous passengers. When he first sets eyes on Mackenzie Armstrong he falls for her bad, but has to remind himself that, in spite of their over the top chemistry and inst-feelings, he cannot have a fling with her for at least two reasons; one it could ruin his shot at Captain, two she is from a different world than his and is not his type of woman. 
 Mackenzie is grudgingly going on this trip with her father, his new horrible new wife and her daughter. She brings along her best friend Brooke to help her survive the trip without committing murder. Mackenzie's been going through a lot of stress and not enjoying life, so Brooke convinces her to try to have a fling with Declan. 
 Declan and Mackenzie have a combustible chemistry and every time they act on it he ends up pulling away and being a jerk to her. When he realizes Mackenzie isn't what he initially assumed it could be too late to win her back. 
 I love the witty, snarky banter that Ms. Sivec always has in her books, it never fails to give me many LOL moments! Ms. Sivec also builds family and friendships in a way like no other and it's always refreshing to read how the secondary cast impacts the main characters. 
 I enjoyed Below Deck, there were a few times some of it seemed a bit repetitive and I really wanted to see at least Mackenzie vs. step-monster smackdown! I feel like I was cheated out of seeing that witch get her butt handed to her! The epilogue was an added bonus and THANK YOU Ms. Sivec for writing one. 
 With a sexy, funny, snarky hero, heroine and secondary cast, Below Deck was a great book for me to start after finishing a dark romance. It would also be a great rainy day read or a book just to get lost in and enjoy yourself! I recommend it to all romantic comedy fans.
