About this listen

*THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*

Lost at sea . . . with your one-night stand

'Feels like a brand new version of romance . . . I drowned happily in this book' Jodi Picoult
'I adored it, it was so romantic' Marian Keyes

Lexi is looking for no-strings-attached fun with a stranger. She deserves one night for herself, doesn't she?

Zeke is looking for love. But for one night with a woman like Lexi, he'll break his rules . . .

Sparks fly at the pub, one passionate kiss leads to another and they end up stumbling home to the marina together.

The next morning, hungover and shaken by an amazing night together, Lexi is more than ready for Zeke to leave. There's just one small problem . . . the houseboat they stayed on has been swept out to sea.

As their supplies start to run dangerously low, and the waves pick up, Zeke and Lexi soon realise there's much more on the line than their new relationship.

How long can they really survive on a drifting houseboat in the North Sea? Will search and rescue find them? And who will they be if they both make it back to dry land?

Swept Away is the epic new romance from the million-copy bestselling author of The Flatshare and The No-Show about your one-night stand becoming your one and only lifeline.

Brilliant

Another fantastic book by Beth O Leary. Gripped from start to finish. Only minor disappointment was the sound quality - the background noise sounded like a neighbour with the TV on too loud.

Hooked from the start.

I enjoyed listening to the story and found it very thought provoking. However, a bit too steamy for me in parts.

Original story

The setting and unfolding of this love story was so refreshingly different from the norm and the description of the characters unfold so you learn about them as they do themselves. Needs to be a film. Great read. Easily fell in love with this story

An adventurous love story

not your usual romcom

This was a very different listen, beautifully narrated and I loved it! Didn’t want it to end.

Beautifully narrated

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

This was a departure from my usual read - autobiography, memoirs or funny Rom coms .
I wanted a long book for my holidays , on a Transatlantic cruise …….having no idea of the subject of this audible book ,
but it seemed to add to the atmospheric writing of Beth Oleary .
I don’t want to mention any story line But high drama , humour and love and more emotions are all there.
the characters are superbly written and are bought to life by the two brilliant narrators.
PS i enjoyed my holiday too!
