Love Overboard by Kandi Steiner (Netgalley ARC Review) - Second chance romance with lots of drama 💖🚢💫









Rating: 4/5⭐


✨ A Soft Glimpse

A story filled with aching love, second chances, and a connection that refuses to fade—even under the brightest lights and hardest circumstances.


🤍 Thank You

First and foremost, thank you to Kandi Steiner, the publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity.


🌸 My Thoughts…

I’ve never really been drawn to reality show settings, and I often found myself skipping books with that premise. But Love Overboard made me want to take a chance—especially with the promise of angst and second-chance romance—and I’m so glad I did.

This book completely pulled me in.

The setting felt immersive, the characters felt real, and the emotions were so raw and beautifully written. I swooned, I sobbed, I laughed… it truly gave me everything I look for in a romance.

Finn and Ember completely stole my heart. To me, they felt like star-crossed lovers in the most beautiful, painful way. The lingering chemistry, the stolen glances, the quiet tension that never really fades—you could feel it in every single moment.


💞 What Made Me Swoon

What I loved most was how they kept showing up for each other, even when life made it difficult. Their connection never felt forced—it was natural, messy, and deeply emotional.

Finn… he was everything. The way he gravitated toward Ember like a moth to a flame, the quiet yearning in his actions, and the strength he showed when she needed him most—it was just beautiful. And that pet name? I melted.

Ember was just as incredible. Strong-willed, resilient, and deeply caring—she was not only a survivor but also a source of strength and motivation. Some parts of her journey felt so real that it was impossible not to feel everything alongside her.


🌙 A Small Wish

I do wish the story had been written in dual POV—I would have loved to get deeper insight into Finn’s thoughts and emotions. A few more detailed flashbacks, instead of brief glimpses, could have made the story feel even richer.


🌷 Final Page

This book completely changed my perspective on reality TV–themed romances. Emotional, intense, and deeply moving, Love Overboard is a story that lingers long after the final page—and one that I’ll be thinking about for a long time.


🎀 Tropes

  Rating: 5/5⭐ ⚠️ CAUTION Check the trigger warnings before reading ✨ A Soft Glimpse A dark, obsessive romance packed with possessiveness, emotional vulnerability, dangerous attraction, and a biker mafia prince whose obsession absolutely needs to be scientifically studied. 🌸 My thoughts… This book genuinely changed my brain chemistry once and for all because after reading this… I was NEVER the same. And honestly? The fact that this entire series kept getting progressively better with every single book had me ridiculously excited to keep reading. I’m actually jealous of people who still get to experience this series for the first time. Now listen… A hot tattooed biker man who also happens to be a Russian mafia prince? Yeah, that alone was enough for me to immediately start this book. And did it disappoint? Absolutely the fk not. This story revolves around Jeremy Volkov—the leader of the Heathens and certified menace to society—and Cecily Knight, a psychology major who h...

Gabriella Sands just knows how to write the kind of mafia romance that will absolutely have you obsessed, and obviously, I was here for it. I previously read her Be With Me last year, which was actually the first book I ever read from her, and I absolutely loved it. But I have to say... Marry Me Not might have topped the list for me. But first of all, I NEED to yap about this book cover because... I mean??? It just screamed GORG...
