My review:
Trigger warning from the author:
A brief, non-graphic scene depicting sexual assault in a work place involving secondary characters.
This is a re-release originally published back in 2020, not sure if anything was changed.
Kelsey (27) & Ari (32) meet on the cruise ship that she works on and he owns. The thing is that he’s hiding his identity and is claiming to be a regular passenger in hopes of figuring out what’s going wrong with the business. How do you think it’s going to go over with Kelsey when she finds out he’s been lying? You can probably guess.
I have mixed feeling about Kelsey. Her relationship with her mom was great, but boy is she a stubborn one. I’m stubborn myself, so I can relate, but she was a bit too over the top, especially at the end, in my opinion. Her work ethic is commendable, but she made a huge, dumb decision back in the day that’s making her need a ton of money.
“And she really needed a shower. She stank of booze and bar nuts.” 🤣🤣
Despite the sneakiness of it I liked the undercover plotline. I really liked Ari and how he handled that trigger warning. When he commits to something, he sure does commit and we see that towards the end of the book. Even though he’s a billionaire he’s not super flashy about it. Does he do good things with this money? He sure does, but also doesn’t expect praise for it.
Overall, their chemistry was evident and I really did like them together despite my mixed feelings with Kelsey.
Narration notes:
I did not listen to this one, but am just giving the above info for reference.

Book blurb:
A SPICY Billionaire forbidden romance from USA Today Bestseller Amy Andrews
Cocktail waitress Kelsey Armitage needs her job on board the Callisthenes cruise ship. Nursing a broken heart and an empty bank account, her trust is destroyed and she’s vowed never to fall for a man again. Instead, she’s only in the mood for one-stands. Not Happy Ever After’s.
But when a mysterious passenger orders a drink from her, she’s powerless to resist him. And soon one night turns into stolen and illicit moments at every opportunity. But romances with the passengers is strictly forbidden… and Kelsey is enjoying breaking all the rules.
Brooding billionaire Ari Callisthenes, heir to a Greek shipping line is undercover on his own cruise liner. His standards are impossibly high but his business is underperforming. He’s determined to find out why. However, he doesn’t expect the instantaneous chemistry with sexy cocktail waitress or the whirlwind fling they find themselves entangled in. She awakens a part of himself he believed dead. But a future together is out of the question because he can’t tell her who he is…
