Okay, yes, another deviation from my TBR piles, but in all fairness, this series (Cruises) is linked to the Valentine's Inc series (a lot of the same authors were invited to contribute, the whole cupid company idea is the same, and a lot of the side characters in the original series are now main characters in this one) and each book has a cute ship-themed title. The second book in this series is titled "Shipping Orders," and it's by Ashe Winters.
["A happy ever after is not in the cards for me. But a short fling aboard a ship crossing the Atlantic might just be exactly what I need.
When my friends suggest I take a much-needed vacation on their Valentine’s Inc. hosted cruise, I leap at the chance. I don’t have a lot of expectations for this matchmaking singles cruise—I’m certainly not looking for a future Mr. Chase Kelton.What I’m not prepared for is walking into my assigned suite to find a man passed out on the first day. I recognized the shy barista immediately. He’s been serving me my morning fix for a year and driving me crazy with the hard shell he keeps locked around him. I want to break it. I know there’s an entirely different man beneath it that I’m itching to reveal.
Reign is the proverbial fish out of water, and when I learn the real reason he’s on this cruise, I see an opportunity I can’t resist. He needs a companion to show him the ropes—I can do that and so much more."]
This book was sooooooo good! There was just so many layers to it! All of the fluff and steam, all of the protectiveness and second-hand embarrassment, all of the secrets and taking chances. It was just W O W.
Chase and Reign just clicked. They wanted the same things in a relationship, even if neither were actually looking for one. Their personalities, desires, dreams, all of it just matched or puzzle-pieced together. It was far from easy, especially when your biggest barrier is yourself, but (spoiler alert), they made it work. ;)
