American Fantasy

In One-Star Romance by Ashley Poston, a romantic comedy set at sea, a post-divorce reset collides with the kind of teen dream you’d normally leave in a scrapbook — and it’s ridiculously more complicated (and charming) in real life.

Annie is on a cruise surrounded by a thousand superfans and the boyband she once adored, while quietly nursing a bruised heart and watching her work life slip sideways. Keith, the band’s fifty-year-old member still expected to deliver the hip thrusts on cue, is battling seasickness and a creeping sense his marriage is running on empty.

After a meet-and-greet pushes them into each other’s orbit, Annie’s crush turns unexpectedly genuine, and Keith begins to imagine that reinvention isn’t just for the young. Off-ship reality, though, doesn’t pause for fantasy.

Perfect for readers who love contemporary romance, second-chance love, celebrity romance, and midlife reinvention.

Step aboard and see where the tide takes them.
