Fate. All readers have a loud or at least secret belief and adoration of fate; Caribbean Crush is the sweetest definition of it. Not just in love, but in friendship too.

Casey is the classic woman on the verge….the verge of what, we’re not always sure. She faces anxiety, grief, insecurity, self-discovery, and change. She boarded that ship with one goal, and I honestly had no idea where she would end up!

Phillip is the man who has everything, a man who knows what he wants…at least he thought he did. He was sure he had it all figured out boarding that ship, until he finally found what real connection is.

I found myself lost in this story between the existing and blossoming friendships, the gorgeous settings and experiences, the past colliding with the present, the spice and the sweet, and the hope of the future. Who knew two people walking completely different paths could end up with the same destination? And I don’t mean ending up back in Fort Lauderdale at the end of those beautiful and chaotic 10 days aboard the Aurelia.

I didn’t really enjoy this book to much as it isn’t really my kind of book but it just felt a bit flat to me but that my opinion someone else might read it and really love it .

Casey Hughes is finally fulfilling her lifetime goals of being a travel journalist and if off in style aboard a luxury cruise ship. It all sounds great but she feels like a fish out of water and it does not help that the shipping heir, Phillip Woodmont is still holding a grudge from their previous encounter at an eighth grade trivia competition. Caribbean Cruise is such a fun read through Casey’s first cruising experience - from a new friend to the connection with an “enemy” that turns into a cute game of cat and mouse with some adorable banter. This book is just the escape you probably need to brighten your day.
