Forbidden love on the sun-kissed Mediterranean. Regardless of the risks, it’s easy to get swept away in a breathtaking romance by Sariah Wilson, the USA Today bestselling author of Hypnotized by Love.

Lucky Salerno’s dream is to own a bakery. To earn enough money to achieve it, she has secured a lucrative job as chief stewardess on a superyacht cruising the Mediterranean. Aboard the ship, there’s one unbreakable rule: no hookups among the crew. No problem. The last thing Lucky has time for is a man. Then she meets Hunter Smith, the gorgeous new deckhand sharing her cabin. Is the universe trying to test her willpower?

Who needs the drama that comes with a relationship? Not Hunter. Who can ignore a witty, beautiful bunkmate like Lucky? Also not Hunter. There’s something just as enticing for Lucky: a tantalizing mystery behind Hunter’s piercing blue eyes she can’t wait to solve. But at what risk?

As they get to know each other, a secret romance buds at sea, and Lucky has to choose. Abide by the rules to make her career dreams come true, or pursue her love for Hunter—another dream that’s just as near to her heart.

What a puntastic story this was. 

I adore books set on Superyachts, and this was incredibly enjoyable. 

I really enjoyed my time spent with Lucky and Hunter. I was fairly confident about what Hunter's big secret was early on, and I totally and utterly fell for him. He's gorgeous, and is a surprisingly decent deck hand. 

Watching Lucky deal with her promotion to chief stew, with her staff not overly either pulling their weight or trying to ignore a brand new rule for the season, is painful, as she tries to avoid conflict even more than I do! 

This is a close encounter, forbidden sort of romance, where they have clear chemistry from their first meeting, and are both determined not to act on it. 

I had a great time reading this book, and will certainly keep my eyes out for more from this author. 

Thank you to Montlake and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
