Spicy Shipping Magnate Romance!!

A hilarious 4 month bet. An undeniable attraction. A billionaire and a cruise ship worker. Knowing what you want to be when you grow up.

This is my first story from this author and I am smitten! Loved the characters, great backstory introduction, I did not read the first in this series (yet), but never felt lost. This is entertaining, scintillating, realistic, and “Calgon, take me away”! (After all, he is a billionaire). Thoroughly enjoyable.

From the off this is filled with naughty language and I blooming love that! I've really been enjoying books set on boats so I really enjoyed that aspect and would have loved more of exploring the crews relationships.
It seemed like this was book 2, with the way it talked of Ari and Kelsey's relationship, and having come to the end of the book I've discovered it is in fact. They appear to be standalones with interconnected characters so its fine to have read out of order it just spoils the ending of Ari's story to read this one first.
I was really looking forward to the fake dating and forced proximity as these are some of my favourite tropes in a romance, I had to wait till halfway through to get it so I was feeling as frustrated as Theo and Tiff around that blackjack table!
I loved the simmering heat between them, and the gentle barbs being flung back and forth.
I loved the spice level, once we got there after all the teasing.
I really felt for Tiff when she explained her younger years and it was good to see her time in Balmain.
A wonderful epilogue giving me my favourite kind of romance ending!

Below Deck Billionaire is a delightful, sexy romp that grabbed my interest and held me to the pages from start to finish. There is a connection to Undercover Billionaire, although they aren’t listed as a series… just a family name and cruise ship line in common. Still, if you enjoyed this one, you might want to check out the earlier release.

I had such fun with Tiffany and Theo in Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews! When Tiffany traded in crewing on a cruise liner to being part of the crew of a super yacht, well, she never could have expected to find her hot, sexy one-night stand onboard. She might have lingering thoughts about their sizzling encounter, but they were worlds apart. Until Theo makes an unusual proposition, one that could end in disaster or grant her the deepest wishes of her heart, she’ll take a gamble and enjoy a journey toward a future she never expected could come true.

If you love a well-written, sizzling hot, emotional romance with humor and wit tossed in for good measure, then you’d fall in love with Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley, and I sincerely thank the author or publishing house for their trust. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

Theo is a player but a likable one. He loves his family and has a code of honor. I liked him a lot. I love how he gets to be himself with Tiffany. I liked her a lot and wanted to know more about her from the first introduction to her in this book. Their chemistry was great and I really enjoyed their connection. I've read a number of books by this author and have really enjoyed this one as well as the one about his brother. While there is a connection to Undercover Billionaire, the book is truly stand alone. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Amy Andrews' "Below Deck Billionaire" is a hot forced proximity romance that pays off with wit, heat, and unshakeable chemistry. Theo Callisthenes, infamous playboy, has his reputation to uphold and takes on a celibacy challenge. But his resolve is put to the test when Tiffany Wainright, the woman he can't get out of his head, becomes the newest addition to the crew of his superyacht.

The "Indecent Proposal meets Below Deck" setup gives way to a sultry dynamic. As Theo is embroiled in an arranged fiancé scheme with Tiffany to save a business opportunity, the captivity of the situation fuels their chemistry, generating delectable tension. The author skillfully weaves a tale of rules that are destined to be broken, and the scorching chemistry between the protagonists makes each shared moment worth it. Readers of hot, captivating billionaire romances with a hint of playfulness will find themselves instantly swept up by this cannot-miss book.

I thoroughly enjoyed this new installment of the series set on a private yacht in the Aegean Sea. The well written plot gives you vacation feeling, is full of emotion, humor, banter and lots of steam and has following tropes:

- Billionaire romance
- Past One-Night stand
- Workplace romance
- Boss-employee romance
- Fake Engagement
- Close/Forced proximity
- Reformed Playboy

Theo and Tiffany are wonderful protagonists with moving backstories and there’s also a whole cast of very likable supporting characters. The chemistry between the two crackles and the undeniable attraction and tension is palpable throughout the book. It was funny to see how the two of them tried to keep their distance and how provocative Tiffany was at times. Although the hinted one-night stand between the two takes place in the previous book, it is not necessary to have read the first part but I recommend to read the series in order. I was very pleased to meet Ari again.

Billionaire Theodorus Callisthenes is a renowned playboy who lives by the motto one-and-done. When scandalous photos of him appear and an important business deal threatens to fall through because of them, his brother Ari challenges him to a bet: no sex for four months and Theo reluctantly agrees. It's difficult, but doable. However, things change when Tiffany Wainwright accepts a job on his private yacht. They had a one-night stand at his brother's and Tiffany's best friend Kelsey’s wedding and he could never quite forget her…

If you enjoy entertaining romance novels about reformed billionaire playboys and strong heroines with banter, sexual tension and heat, this book is for you!

I received a free ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and left voluntarily.

Below Deck Billionaire is a sizzling, escapist romp through the sun-drenched Greek islands—with just the right balance of billionaire glitz, forbidden attraction, and emotional tension to keep romance fans flipping pages. This is a perfect holiday read.

This is a sequel but I didn’t feel like I had to have read the first one to understand and enjoy this book. At the heart of the story is Theo, a tabloid magnet and the scandal-prone heir to a Greek shipping empire. After one too many sex scandals, his no-nonsense brother hits him with an impossible challenge: a four-month celibacy ban. Theo agrees—more for pride than principle—and retreats to his luxury yacht to ride out the storm. But when Tiffany Wainright, the one woman he can’t forget, joins the crew, the plot instantly thickens.

Tiffany is sharp, self-assured, and refreshingly uninterested in being another notch on Theo’s designer belt. Their dynamic crackles with tension, especially under the constraints of forced proximity and their smouldering mutual history.

The added layer of the fake fiancée trope injects just enough emotional stakes to give this sexy story some heart. Watching Theo wrestle with his own reputation, growing feelings, and the challenge of earning Tiffany’s trust provides satisfying character development beyond the usual playboy-meets-his-match setup.

While the setup is delightfully over-the-top—and proudly so—the pacing does lag in the mid-section as the yacht-bound narrative begins to feel a little too confined and turns it to a bit of a slow burn. Still, the final chapters more than make up for it, with a romantic crescendo that’s both earned and intoxicating. I just wish a bit more could have been made of the ending, as it felt rushed.

Billionaire steamy romance - yes please ❤️
I loved the tropes in this little steamy bit of heaven
Forced proximity, fake dating, one bed.
Theo is a playboy, one night and done is his mantra until Tiff.
Tiff the one who left him and then ghosted him and the one he cannot forget about.
This was so good, Theo was hot Tiffs banter was next level I loved them both.
I’ve read a few Amy Andrews books now and they are all so good, the writing and chemistry is great.

Thank you for having me on this tour

Below Deck Billionaire was a second book in a series; the first is Undercover Billionaire. You absolutely do not need to have read the first book first. Tiffany had a one night stand with the brother of her best friend's husband in the first book. In this book, she takes a new job on a personal yacht, having left her previous job on a luxurious cruise ship. Unbeknownst to her, and the owner of the yacht, this brings the two one night stand lovers together again. He's had the hots for her ever since. But inconveniently, he's taken a vow of abstinence in a dare with his brother. That includes kissing and sex, but a lot of hanky panky is still left up for graps.

Amy Andrews knows how to write flirting and sexy scenes. This book is chock full, so if that's your thing, this book is for you. Very hot, very sexy.

I love that it was Tiffany who tamed this wild one. We got a tiny glimpse into their connection at the end of the first book. I love that she didn’t fall at Theo’s feet and he had to work at getting her. I haven’t read many books based on a yacht and I find that I like this setting. I’d love more in this series.

I enjoyed it good book

Theo Callisthenes - renowned playboy and heir to a multi-billion-dollar Greek shipping company’s sex-capades - always make the front page. But when one misdemeanor goes too far, his brother offers up a challenge. Restore his reputation with a 4-month sex ban…

Vowing to see the ban through, Theo takes up residence on his superyacht sailing around the Greek islands. Until one day, the one woman he hasn’t been able to hit and quit - Tiffany Wainright - strides onboard as the newest member of his crew. Temptation has set sail with him and the forced proximity gives him absolutely nowhere to hide! Tiffany might live below deck but their attraction is still electric and she’s just too close for comfort.

Then an opportunity to salvage a business deal he put in jeopardy is back on the table. To ensure success Theo may need a very indecent proposal. Can he convince Tiffany to pose as his fake fiancé during the day to help seal the deal and trust that neither of them will succumb to their burning chemistry once the sun goes down? It’s only for two days but how long will the ban hold when the door closes on his suite and there’s only his sorely tested honour keeping them in check?

This was such a fun read! Love a good billionaire romance! Great story, love the couple, Theo and Tiffany have oodles of chemistry! I always love the fake fiancé trope because it never stays fake for long.
Happy I requested this one!

Below Deck Billionaire is the ideal summer read, particularly for fans of steamy slow burns, playful banter, and popular tropes such as fake relationships, opposites attract, and second chances. As this story encompasses all of that and much more.

As Theo Callisthenes, heir to a Greek shipping empire, faces an ultimatum: keep it in his pants for four months or risk damaging his family's reputation and business. Recognizing he has no other choice, Theo decides to retreat to his luxury yacht to avoid temptation and the persistent paparazzi.

However, he does not expect Tiffany Wainwright to join the crew. As she is sexy, sharp, capable, and seemingly immune to Theo's charms—at least she was once. And the forced proximity between them creates immediate tension, banter, friction, and a hint of flirting. But both are determined to resist their attraction until a business crisis compels Theo to stage a fake engagement, with Tiffany as the obvious and, frankly, only choice.

And what starts as a mere charade soon evolves into something much deeper. And with plenty of spice, heart, luxurious settings, and playful dialogue, Below Deck Billionaire is the perfect book to escape into, especially while lounging on the beach this summer.

If you enjoy your books with heat and spice
You'll agree this one is more than 'nice'.
A billionaire endeavouring his reputation to save
Agrees to a four month ban that's grave!

A playboy who ends up on the front page so often
Wants his antics to be forgotten.
The latest press has lost the brothers a deal
A ban may help it again to seal.

Taking refuge on his super yacht should be the way
But maybe fate has a different hand to play?
For the latest crew member he's shocked to discover
Is the woman he can't forget about - even for his brother!

In close proximity their mutual attraction grows.
They try to ignore it but still it shows.
With the electricity between them what should they do?
Can he maintain his ban and resist her too?

What a fun read, with temptations galore
And hot chemistry between them, neither can ignore.
Family dramas present and past
Add to the angst, can they make it a last?

For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.

I picked this book for the title alone. I’m obsessed with all things Below Deck and can never resist a romance on a superyacht. I was hoping for something fun, flirty, and tropical, and I got all of that and more. I’m so glad I read this book.

Theo is your classic billionaire playboy, but after a tabloid catches him in a spicy situation, it starts messing with a major business deal. To clean up his image, his brother bets he can’t go four months without sex. Theo takes the challenge seriously and moves onto his yacht to stay out of trouble.

Tiffany wants to slow down and finally finish her dream book. When she lands a job as the live-in steward on a luxury yacht, it seems perfect. That is, until she meets the owner and realizes it's the sexy stranger she had the best one-night stand with. Now she’s stuck working for him while trying to ignore the spark that never died.

Things really heat up when Theo asks her to be his fake fiancée to help salvage the deal. They agree to keep it simple, just play the part, but sharing a room and faking PDA gets complicated fast. The tension builds, and when feelings start to grow, neither of them is prepared for how real it starts to feel.

These two were pure fire. I couldn’t put this book down and ended up reading it in one sitting. Their backstories made their walls and fears feel real, and it made me love their relationship even more. I melted when Theo was willing to rethink something he always said he’d never want, just to keep her.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the pleasure of reading this amazing ARC. If you love fake fiancés, forced proximity, or anything yacht-related, grab this one for your next read.

Theo and Tiffany’s story is the second book in this series and a follow up to Ari and Kelsey’s story. I feel there is no issue in reading this one as a standalone. Theo is a billionaire playboy and has recently taken on a bet from his brother to refrain from sex for four months. Little does he know, the only woman he can’t resist, Tiffany, has become a crew member on his new yacht. It is quickly evident that their attraction is still as fierce as ever. I feel this book lacked the immediate spice and steam from the first book. This book was more of a slow burn that picked up in the second half of the book. It was worth the wait! This book has something for everyone with a billionaire playboy, forced proximity, fake engagement, one that got away, and more!

I have been so curious about Theo since reading Undercover Billionaire. He turned out to be a lot more than I was expecting. Putting two obstacles between Theo and Tiffany (the dare and boss/employee dynamic) was very clever. Nothing less would have kept them from having a meaningless fling. This way they have to get to know each other in a new way and challenge each other's notions. I enjoyed getting to know Theo in different ways: his college friends, his Mykonos friends, and a business associate who dislikes him. And Tiffany's backstory was also very interesting. They make a great couple with fantastic chemistry.

Ah hoy indeed 😅 all aboard, we are sailing to billionaire island which is located between fake fiancée and steamy yacht deck rendezvous 🥵

These 2 gain feelings fast than a baby getting chicken pox.

Written in 3rd person, we met Theo who is forced into celibacy for four mouths by his sibling because if he doesn’t seem it could be corporate ruin for their company.

In walks Tiffany, like she owns the yacht (which she kinda does).

What ensues sharp banter, snarky inner dialogue, cabin antics, fake fiancée ploys, sizzling chemistry and enough steam to fog up the Mediterranean.

I really enjoyed how the characters developed in both the first and second half even with the slowing pacing in the second half. The writing was engaging and easy to follow.

Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews is a short, steamy romance packed with heat, heart, and just the right amount of emotional depth. Set against the backdrop of luxury and high-stakes tension, this story brings together two compelling characters whose chemistry is undeniable and whose personal growth is just as satisfying as the spice.

Tiffany is a standout heroine—fierce, confident, and completely unapologetic. Her strength and independence drive the narrative, making her a character you can’t help but root for. Opposite her is Theo, a billionaire with layers of emotional complexity who undergoes a believable and heartfelt transformation as the story unfolds. Watching him peel back the image he’s maintained for years to reveal his true self adds real substance to the heat between them.

Though it’s a quick read, Below Deck Billionaire doesn’t skimp on plot or character development. Amy Andrews delivers a perfectly balanced romance that’s sultry, empowering, and thoroughly entertaining. A must-read for fans of short, sizzling love stories with strong leads and emotional payoff.

Theo, billionaire playboy and paparazzi favourite, is the CEO of Oceanos and is also the stumbling block to his brother Ari’s attempts to close a deal to buy a company, a deal that their grandfather wants to see completed. To demonstrate that Theo is a reformed character Ari dares him to agree to a four-month sex ban. Theo reluctantly agrees and decides the best way to hide from the paparazzi is spend the time on his yacht. All goes well until Tiffany, his sister-in-law’s best friend, arrives to join the crew. Tiffany, the one woman he’s been unable to forget since they met at his brother’s wedding and spent a memorable night together.

Entertaining and easy to read – Theo has commitment issues and Tiffany has issues trusting men after finding out her beloved father was having a string of affairs. It’s good to see their relationship develop as they start to reveal more about themselves to each other.
