Happy Tuesday! Today TTT bloggers are celebrating all things romance with a Love Freebie! After many years of creating these posts it is a bit daunting to come up with something fresh. Today I am featuring romance novels — contemporary, historical, and suspense — that have part or whole of their settings on boats. You know, The Love Boat! 😉 Extra points for those whose characters cement their love on the open seas. Come aboard, they’re expecting you!
For more Love Freebie fun, please visit That Artsy Reader Girl.

Oh, this is a unique take! I get seasick, so I’d much prefer to read about boats than to be on one. 🙂
I used to love watching that show when I was a child.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
Neat twist!

Here’s my TTT: https://readbakecreate.com/favorite-romances-read-in-2025/
Love, exciting and new, come aboard, we’re expecting you. Now I’ll have that in my head for a week! LOL! What a great idea. Love Overboard and the other book in the series Hearts Aweigh are both on my shelf. I plan to read both this year.
You are welcome! It’s been stuck in mine since I created the post. LOL.
For someone who really doesn’t like boat travel, it’s weird that I actually quite enjoy books set on boats! I haven’t read any of these; I definitely need to take a closer look at some of them.
Happy TTT!

I haven’t read any of these, but I have some boat stories on my TBR. Not sure if they’ll be love stories though!
