Wherever the Wind Takes Us by Kelly Harms

After 22 years of mostly unhappy marriage, Becca has had enough. She only stayed so long for the sake of their 21 year old daughter Liv. Her husband, Alistair Larkan, and his family firm defend the worst criminals and she's determined to live penniless rather than depend on his dirty money. The only thing she takes away from the divorce is his beloved sailboat Becky Ann.

When she stops in at the marina looking to sell she meets sexy, younger, and Irish Grant Murphy who convinces her to sell it herself and arrange transport to get the most money from the sale. Maine to Miami shouldn't be so hard right? Only problem...she can't sail. Liv agrees to help and they spend the first part of the journey terrified, seasick, and behind schedule. Liv calls Grant to take over and then ditches them, but the sailing for the rest of the trip is like night and day. He's a sailing instructor and makes everything they'd struggled with seem effortless, teaching her along the way to enjoy and fall in love with the sport... and him. But can she really drop everything for the impossible dreams he weaves for their future?

I love how Becca finds her true self out on the water, becoming a brave confident woman willing to take what she wants rather than settle for "crumbs". I hated how she kept justifying Liv's actions as being young, or a Larkan, or stuck between them in the divorce. Liv was a horrible, entitled, and selfish character that I couldn't stand and I was so glad she abandoned Becca with Grant.
