This is my first book by this author. And really I was hooked right away! It had some aspects to it that reminded me a bit of my own kind of fwb to more story that I wrote in a novella. In a good way! Not the same story at all, just had some of the things I connected with. Both characters were real to me, and their relationship made sense. I got why both of them were a little unsure how to tell the other how they felt based on the rules they’d set. However it was great how those feelings got expressed. Even if I was frustrated a bit with how Macy left Tate hanging a time or two, again, it felt real, because I know I would probably do things similarly! I like how the ending didn’t contain any extra added drama. I like that we got to see how things would go and it was more like what I feel real life is like.

This was a great start to the series. It had steaminess, humorous parts, and a wonderful set up of this cruise for sure. So much I wish there was one of these trips I could go on. Or that someone in my life who wanted to help me out would send me on the cruise. I wish I would have time to read more in this series, because I’m guessing they’ll all be fun to read!
