Sink or Swim is the sequel to Sailor Proof, following Calder as he realizes what he really wants in life. The basic plot is contrived and relies heavily on coincidences, but the characters pull it off beautifully. 

I've had problems with sequels published by Carina Adores, with the sequel not being anything like the first book, which made me hesitate. I thoroughly enjoyed Sailor Proof, but was a little leery based on previous experience with the publisher. However, I'm glad I took the leap and read the book, because it enjoyed it. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Adores for the free eARC!
