Book Description:  
When twenty-five-year-old Lyn sets off on her cruise vacation, all she wants is to forget that her dead fiancé was a cheating scumbag. What she plans is a diversion uncomplicated by romance. What she gets is Braedon, an intriguing young surgeon. He's everything her fiancé wasn't, and against the backdrop of the ship's make-believe world, her emotions come alive.
 
Unaware of the sensitive waters he navigates, Braedon moves to take their relationship beyond friendship—on the very anniversary Lyn came on the cruise to forget. Lyn's painful memories are too powerful, and she runs off in a panic.

But it's hard to get away from someone when you're stuck on the same ship. Things are bad enough when the pair finds themselves on one of the cruise's snorkeling excursions. Then paradise turns to piracy when their party is kidnapped, and Lyn's fear of a fairy tale turns grim.




My Review:

I always love it when I'm surprised by a novel. Most of the time readers think they know pretty much what will happen in a story. Don't do this when you read A Change of Plans. This book is SO much more than your typical romance. It has suspense, drama, and adventure. One more thing, it will make you cry at some point as you are reading.(I'm not divulging where those moments will take place in the story.) 

One of the highlights of Author Donna K. Weaver's writing is that she knows how to write characters that will stay with you long after you finish reading the book. I moped around all the next day after I finished this book because I missed the two main characters, Lyn and Braedon. The last time this happened is when I finished reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows for the first time. That is how involved you will become in their lives. Both of these wonderful characters have things that they are trying to overcome in their lives. They don't always get along, but in the end love finds a way. 

You can be assured that you will go through a variety of emotions before you read the last page. This novel should be your first choice when you are looking for  that perfect Summer read.






Meet Author Donna Weaver: I'm a Navy brat who joined the Army and has lived in Asia and Europe. Because I sailed the Pacific three times as a child, I love cruising and wish I could accrue enough vacation time to do more of it with my husband. We have six children. Our eight grandchildren live all over the world. At fifty, I decided to study karate and earned my black belt in Shorei Kempo.

After doing city council minutes for twenty years, I decided to write something a little longer and with a lot more emotion--and kissing. My debut novel, A Change of Plans, is being published by Rhemalda Publishing and comes out in June 2013.
