When Darcy Cavanaugh agreed to be a bridesmaid in her coworker's wedding aboard a cruise ship, the last thing she expected was for it to be stressful. After all, Darcy is an ER nurse and this vacation is supposed to be a relaxing time for her. Instead of pina coladas and dancing all night, Darcy has a strange rash, an I Love Lucy inspired bridesmaid dress, an ex boyfriend aboard the ship, a possible wedding proposal hanging over her head, and a mystery to solve!

Kirsty, the wedding planner, is trying her best to keep everything in order but that is hard to do with all the constant fighting going on between the men on board. Someone is trying to sabotage this wedding, but no one knows why. With the help of Marie, Darcy's lesbian best friend, the two women try to have a fun time while on their vacation.

In the meantime, someone is sending Darcy strange poems and she is starting to think she has a stalker. When clues start to come together, Darcy realizes her stalker may be closer then she previously thought.

After saying goodbye to her boyfriend, FBI undercover detective Luke Skyler to go on the cruise, Darcy discovers her ex boyfriend Sam in on the ship! Sam is intent on winning Darcy back, even though he is already married to someone else. Will Darcy fall for Sam's charm and possibly ruin what she already has with Luke?

Someone on the boat has a list of people they want to hurt and possibly kill. One by one strange accidents involving a stapler occur. After one of the groomsmen is found dead, everyone is a suspect. The FBI becomes involved and comes on the ship to question the wedding party. Luke Skyler is one of the FBI agents involved in the investigation. Will his sudden surprise appearance throw Darcy off and put her in a compromising position if she's caught with her ex boyfriend Sam? How will Darcy juggle two men and not break any hearts?

Darcy tries to sort out her feelings towards Luke and whether she is ready to commit to marriage with him. She knows he has a little black box in his pocket and the proposal is inevitably going to happen. Will Darcy say yes or will she ruin everything she has with Luke to be with two timing Sam?

AYE DO OR DIE, the second book in the series, is full of just the right blend of romance, mystery, and comedy. This was my first book by Candy Calvert and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I instantly fell in love with the sexy men in Darcy's life and could relate to her dilemma with picking the right man for her. Please don't let Darcy settle down yet! Sam is a very interesting character and I want to hear more about him. I look forward to the next installment and cruising with Darcy once again.
