New Release Review ~ Cruising Right Into Love (Pride Cruise 2024)

by JP Sayle

A new life brings hope. But will it also bring Victor pain – or the love he craves?

A chance meeting leads Victor Newton to the quiet town of Sweet Haven. Beaten and broken, he finds something totally unexpected. Friends who are more like family. A job he loves and a home of his own. But there’s a fly in the ointment. He’s crushing on someone who knows about Victor’s past. Someone already spoken for.

Paramedic Denton Colby meets Victor his first day in town under awful circumstances that leave a lasting impression. Denton feels protective towards the gorgeous blond, but as time passes and he watches Victor flourish, so do the feelings he’s kept hidden. Strong feelings he thinks would frighten Victor, who has no idea Denton is bisexual. Denton attempts to move on with his life, dating Nese.

But something isn’t working.

When Denton hears Victor is going on a gay pride cruise as part of a wedding party, he decides it’s time to take a chance, and joins the trip. Now all he needs is for Victor to open his eyes and see him as more than a friend.

Welcome to Pride Cruise 2024! Where the water is crisp, the men are HOT, and the party has started! Each book is a standalone but feel free and dive in and binge them all. You won’t want to miss a second of their naughty antics. If you think they’re silly when the sun is up, just wait until it goes down.

This is part of a multi-author series; all partly set on a cruise but each working as a standalone. I’ve not read the others but this actually links to one of my favourite of the author’s books—Sweet Haven. It works totally as a standalone but I always wondered what happened to Victor, so it was great to see him get his HEA.
If you’re looking for a low-angst, sweet, sexy read then this is definitely one you’d enjoy. Victor has taken a few years to recover from what brought him to Sweet Haven but is ready to start dating. He’s started to notice Denton as more than a friend but thinks he’s unavailable. Denton has always been drawn to Victor; he knew that he needed to give him time to heal though. Now he wants to be more than friends. He’s messed up a bit with having a girlfriend (the author does a good job of not making him into a cheater; we understand where he came from). Going on the cruise for their friends’ wedding gives him the chance to show his feelings to Victor.
This is a shared cabin, friends-to-lovers story that’s full of heart. The found family are great supporting characters and give a thread of humour, too. Both MCs are really likable but I loved Denton’s strong caring, supportive side that is exactly what Victor needs. He rises him up which is just lovely.
A definite recommendation, a perfect, light holiday read.
