They have a second chance at love, but there are some rough seas ahead in the new contemporary romance from the acclaimed author of Love, Lists, and Fancy ShipsCommitment-phobe Nina Lejeune lives by two rules: 1. Always have fun. 2. Don’t rely on anyone but yourself. The first rule is easy; the second, she's only broken once. Ten years after fleeing home, Nina is the chief stewardess on the super yacht Serendipity, single by choice, and perfectly content with how life has turned out. But Nina’s ex-coworker and old flame, Irish chef Ollie Dunne, isn’t so happy with the status quo. One year after leaving yachting, he's returned as the Serendipity’s chef with an ultimatum: if Nina continues to deny she's in love with him by the end of this charter season, he'll go back to Ireland for good. Nina and Ollie's shared secret from their past threatens to shipwreck not only their relationship, but the entire boat. But as their connection grows amidst chaotic guests and crew drama, could there be smooth sailing in their future?
Cassie’s Review
This was a great second chance romance between Nina and Ollie. This is the second book in the series, and could be read as a standalone. We do get introduced to these characters in the first book, but this book delves so much into their characters, you feel like you didn’t know them at all!
There is a slight twist in this book, and I absolutely loved it, it changes the trope of this book, but I won’t give it away *wink*.
Oh Ollie. He loves Nina from the very beginning and it shows page after page, especially when Nina can’t see it for herself. Nina has so much growth in this book. At times I wanted to throttle her, truly. The author did an exceptional job of sharing Nina’s growth, and I easily started to root for the changes she was making.
It was a complete treat for us to see Jo and Nina on page again. Their friendship was hilarious and at times made no sense, but also all the sense in the world.
This book was a little angsty, and emotional. But absolutely worth the read. I’m definitely a purist and would recommend reading the first book prior to starting this one.
