I’ve never wanted to go on a cruise, I’m not a “cruise person” but Alicia is changing my mind. 😂 This book is full of heart, tension, romance, steam, and nostalgia. I loved every minute of it! 🥰

The mix of romance and music here is perfection, especially with the backdrop of a cruise and the rekindling of old band dynamics. Micah’s reluctance to fall for John at first gives the story a slow-burn quality, but once it heats up, you’ll be rooting for these two musicians to create something lasting. With witty dialogue, emotional depth, and a backdrop full of music and memories, this is a romance that hit all the right notes.

I loved this book. The romance between Micah and John was *chefs kiss* It wasn’t necessarily a second chance romance but it had that same kind of feel. The longing and tenderness was really beautiful.

Alicia Thompson never misses for me and Never Been Shipped is no exception. I've been anxiously awaiting John's story ever since I read With Love, from Cold World and it did not disappoint! I loved Micah and John SO much, the tension, the yearning, the pining!!! And Micah as a FMC was just *chef's kiss*. Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC!
