I enjoyed the character diversity, unique setting(s) throughout, and ADHD/anxiety representation. While there were a few conflicts the main character(s) needed to overcome throughout the story, there really wasn't much of a plot. Overall I'd recommend this is as a pun-ny closed door romance with lots of angst.

Forced proximity, forbidden love, insta love and a few more!

This romance is set on a superyacht in the Mediterranean and the characters are coworkers.
Lucky and Hunter are very lovable characters, with great chemistry and nice banter with a lot of puns throughout the book :D I really loved the mental health representation in this book and how the characters were so understanding and supportive of each other.

Lucky's sisters and her coworker Emily were quite annoying ...it does make sense in the story but I still felt like they could have been handled better or sooner so it wasn't dragged out through the whole book.

The audiobook narration was in duet form and done very well!

I found this story t be cute and funny. It gave me โ€œbelow deckโ€ (tv show) vibes. And I loved it!

Lucky is a 24 yr old new head stew on a superyacht. She has anxiety and is determined to do a good job. She wants to save up money to open her own bakery.

Hunter is the new deckhand for the yacht and has to share a cabin with Lucky.

Lucky and Hunter are both very interested in the other but there is a strict no relationships between crew rule put in place by the new yacht owner.

This was a fun lighthearted read. The nautical puns had me laughing out loud. I enjoyed that the MCs were supporting of each other. Great mental health representation within this book.

Closed door spice but the book is very enjoyable.

๐—™๐—”๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—ข๐—ฉ๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—•๐—ข๐—”๐—ฅ๐—— by Sariah Wilson delivers a cute, lighthearted romance set against the dreamy backdrop of a superyacht cruising the Mediterranean. The premise is fun, and Lucky and Hunter have great chemistry, with plenty of witty banter. The nautical setting adds a unique charm, and the puns sprinkled throughout were a delightful touch.

However, while the book had a lot of potential, some elements felt a bit unrealisticโ€”like the strict no-dating rule for a group of twenty-somethings. The constant interruptions just as the romantic tension was building became frustrating, making their relationship progression feel disjointed. Additionally, the frequent mentions of death added an unexpectedly heavy tone that didnโ€™t quite fit the romcom vibe.

That said, if youโ€™re looking for a breezy, closed-door romance with workplace tension and a fun setting, this could be a great pick! The audiobook narration by Eric London and Summer Morton was also well done, bringing the characters to life.

This was a fun, sweet, forbidden forced proximity, coworker romance set aboard a super yacht that had great mental health rep (the MMC has ADHD and lost a sister and the FMC has anxiety and panic attacks and has also lost a lot of close loved ones). Great on audio and perfect for fans of books like Love, lists and fancy ships by Sarah Grunder Ruiz or More than shipmates by Philippa Young. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
