If you are looking for a fast moving easy read set in the world of monied super yacht building in Monaco this is the book for you.
You have steamy romance glamour glitz and a peak into the world of European super rich.
Strong characters, an underlying intrigue/drama and humour.

Oh. My. Word. Morgan de Rohan-Chabot is a reader’s dream foreign fling. He gives off all the bad boy vibes in all the best ways. I love the messy and secretive aspects of this story, it makes it feel like such a real “scandal”. Searching for a gorgeous, rich, yacht designer. If you know any, send them my way.

This was okay although I struggled a little at the beginning of the book because it felt messy and I didn't like storyline but it thankfully changed and I enjoyed the rest of the book.
Will I continue the rest of the series? Probably not because it didnt grab my attention but we'll see.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Honesetly, was not my vibe even though it checked all of my usually boxes. The writing was just fine but it didn't give me that happy tingly feeling it usually does. Maybe if I read it again it would be better because I liked this authors other books. The ending was super cute and well done though.

The Cruiser is a standalone with a HEA . I have never read anything by this author so I was excited when I got an advanced reading copy from NetGalley. I have to say it did not disappoint . I really enjoyed this story, Vandana is a great Character , coming out of a failed marriage , she meets Morgan the yacht designer . Trying to keep their relationship in a client/pr relationship , things heat up with some pretty hot chemistry . It has a great storyline with some laugh out loud situations! I think the author really made you feel like you were in the story , it was very nicely written . Can’t wait to read more by this author !

This is a steamy read about a billionaire playboy yacht designer and the woman who he hires as his PR rep. While Vandana is supposed to be helping cultivate his image, they end up falling for each other.
Their chemistry is off the charts and Morgan finds himself completely smitten beyond just the typical sexual desire he usually cars about.
The unique setting was really interesting. I also thought it was cool that Morgan had a job that was pretty out of the ordinary for a billionaire romance. I did find that the characters seemed really shallow at times but overall, I enjoyed the book.

When I tell you I was so excited to find this book, I'm not sure you know just how much my level of excitement was. I love stories that take place on yachts. I love romances on the sea. I love maritime related novels. And the twist on this one with a yacht designer definitely had me intrigued. I really enjoyed this story overall. My only big issue is one of the story lines woven throughout the book that began in the first chapter. I could have done without it and honestly it was kind of annoying to me. I felt like the book could have done without. That's one of the main reasons for the 4 star rating. But I really did enjoy this and I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy. Now excuse me while I go try to find my own Morgan...

This book was a fun quick read. I had a hard time sometimes figuring out what was going on. Some spots seemed all over the place. I felt like certain scenes didn’t fit into the book. Over all the concept was good.

5 STARS for The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler Book 1 of The Hustlers Trilogy

What an awesome read ! If you are looking for something with glitz and glamour as well this book is certainly for you !
Loved the cover it’s a great visual of Morgan and the book blurb alone would have me one clicking.
Strong female heroine in Vandana Hillman
I got to learn so much about the yachting industry ( one can dream can’t they ? )

This was a really steamy romance. It was an enjoyable fast paced read. All the characters were very much larger than life and very perfect but it made for a very enjoyable few hours escape into the world of the very rich and beautiful. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me access to a review copy.

I absolutely adored this book, from the very first page I was hooked, and I couldn't put it down.
It was a cute, quick, and steamy read, set in Monaco and Italy involving yachts. The main characters had great chemistry, and I loved the different POVs in the book. I loved the dynamic between Vandana and Morgan, the way the business and the sightseeing are incorporated into the storyline, as really anything set in Italy and France has me wishing I could live there.
The pacing of the story was really good, the writing superb and the main characters had interesting backstories that I would have loved to get more of; the plot flowed naturally (a little rushed but didn't take away any of the enjoyment) and the spice scenes were a great complement to the development of the relationship.
I honestly didn't give it 5 stars because I felt that it could have been a longer novel where we got to see a lot more of their developing relationship and the growth of Vandana's character and the evolution of her career, as it was hinted that she wanted to get into interior design but we never got the chance to see it.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and I want to thank NetGalley, Free Form Productions Inc, and the author for providing me with this eARC.
