High jinks, humor, and deadpan banter aboard a luxury cruise ship make this an absolutely delightful read.

Hope joins her best friend on a 10-day cruise with the intent of relaxing and rediscovering herself after a harsh breakup. Felix is reluctantly on the cruise with his family as they beg him to relax and forget about work for a few days. Despite neither of them being interested in a relationship, Hope and Felix figure there’ is no harm in indulging in their feelings for the duration of the trip…

This was so fun! I loved the flirty and sarcastic exchanges between Hope and Felix. Felix’s sisters add a lot of charm to the story as well. It is refreshing to read a romance featuring palpable chemistry, character growth, and only one mention of the love interest’s height!

I’ve never wanted to book a cruise until I read this. Kudos to Hope and Felix (and the author) on an amazing go-to karaoke song choice. Highly recommended!

Thank you very much to Flatiron Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a copy.

First of all, the cover! It's gorgeous and inviting. I haven't been on a cruise in so long, and this book's cover makes me want to get on a ship for vacation! The story is equally fun and comedic. I liked how Doyle crafted the romantic storyline. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Thanks to NetGalley and Flatiron for this eARC!

I loved this, maybe even more than Katelyn Doyle's (Scarlett Peckham's contemporary nom de plume) previous title!

The deal is that Felix and Hope meet on a Caribbean cruise (which they are both on under duress), and this serves as a VERY effective pressure cooker for their relationship. I loved the side characters, especially Hope's influencer bff and Felix's sisters and the ending of this one was truly a dream.

This even kind of made me want to go on a (very fancy) cruise (we are not talking Royal Caribbean here), and just to travel in general.

One thing, man I wish her books had better covers! They are not doing the writing justice. Scarlett Peckham's books have GREAT covers, let's get that designer on these!
