Crissy Fitzgerald needs a change of scenery. A well-
established hair stylist, Crissy has been lucky in career,
but so far unlucky in love. In an attempt to shake up her
life and move on from a recent broken heart, Crissy takes a
leap of faith and embarks on a month-long cruise with her
slightly wild friend, Jenny. Jenny's goal is to break
Crissy out of her shy shell and help her have a little fun
for a time. Crissy is less optimistic that the cruise will
heal her hurt, but thinks the cruise might be fun.
On the cruise, Crissy and Jenny meet up with a varied bunch
of characters from the rich and famous to hangers-on.
Crissy soon meets Mark Vilos, son of the owner of the Sea
Nymph, who quickly becomes enamored of her. Crissy is
intrigued by Mark, but is hesitant to become involved with
him. Everything about him does not add up. He spends most
of his time in his cabin, does not interact with other
shipmates and is rather offensive in his opinions of
others, plus he has a very large mysterious trunk he's
brought on the ship. To balance the relationship with Mark,
Crissy meets Luca, the Sea Nymph's cruise doctor. Luca is
warm, gracious and very interested. Crissy spends most of
the journey juggling the two relationships.
Jenny's cruise experience and path to true love takes a
different turn. She has less than virtuous goals for her
trip -- to find a rich husband. Finally deciding on the
aging and old money Dr. Von Meckling, Jenny sets her sights
on becoming his wife.
As Crissy and Jenny's ventures on the high seas progress,
each will be changed. New bonds with shipmates will be
forged, friendships will be tested and the entire ship will
be on a path to destruction if not stopped in time. Gould
writes an evocative story of a woman's desire to feel loved
and valued for who she is. DREAMBOAT, while not complicated
in its storytelling, presents a satisfying conclusion that
true love can conquer all and that bad guys don't always
get away.
Shy Crissy Gregory takes charge of her life by embarking on
a month-long trans-Atlantic cruise. But with a blissful
liberation from her inhibitions come threats of betrayal, a
shocking international conspiracy, and cold-blooded murder.
Now she's sailing headlong into danger-and Judith
Gould fans will find it all absolutely irresistible.
