Resumen del Editor

That moment when your spectacular one night stand turns out to be your sexy, older new boss. FML.

Brantley Phipps doesn’t want a boyfriend. In his line of work, relationships are impossible. All he wants is one night of fun before he starts his 10-week rotation as assistant hotel director on a cruise ship.

He scores the jackpot with a hot older guy who hits all his yes, please buttons and who wants the same thing as him. Their chemistry is explosive, hot damn. Talk about a night to remember. That should last him a while....

Until he discovers that his one-night stand is none other than the legendary Captain Silver Fox aka his new boss. Oops.

Still, it shouldn’t be an issue because Brantley doesn’t do coworkers and Fox is known for being strict as hell about not dating employees. That should make things easy, if not for that pesky attraction that keeps flaring up whenever they're in the same room. Or on the same ship. What the hell do they have to do to get rid of that?

It's gonna be a long three months....

Captain Silver Fox is a stand-alone MM romance with an age gap, yummy steamy scenes, a Caribbean setting on a cruise ship, and a one-night stand that turns into an embarrassing case of falling for the boss. This book was previously published as Shipping the Captain, but the content is unchanged.

Making It Work

This was a fun meet cute that leads to a whole host of problems. I like how both Brantley was there for Fox when he needed.
I listened to the audio and it was very well done.

an entertaining enough forbidden, age gap tale

3.25⭐️
Audio: 4⭐️

Captain Silver Fox is a quick, entertaining read that just doesn’t end as strongly as it starts off. I like both Fox and Brantley. Their personalities are distinct and well-matched, and Phoenix does a great job selling their explosive chemistry and inexplicable connection. I appreciate them not instantly giving in to their attraction when they meet again on the ship, except for how that lasts for like a week. They don’t make it past the first cruise before giving in, and with all the repetition of inner angst it just felt like a time jump would have made the release of the tension and restraint feel earned.

There’s also such a focus on a pair of passengers and the beauty of their love that I wondered if they are beloved characters from another series, which became distracting. Their purpose in the story is to get the MCs to consider if a loving partnership is possible, but then the couple just keep popping up for more ‘their love is so pure and almost holy’ comments.

The last third of the book feels rushed and runs out of steam. Circumstances come up that make them admit their love and everything become really fluffy and hearts and flowers for a swift wrap-up. Though the pacing and focus is a bit uneven, Phoenix does sell Brantley and Fox’s connection as well as their distress and conflicting desires for one another and the careers they love. The gay cruise setting is fun, and Fox and Brantley’s HEA is heartwarming.

A steamy age gap romance!⚓️

This was a steamy MM contemporary, age gap romance.

Brantley is'nt looking for commitment.
All he wants is a hot one night stand before he starts his job.
He gets lucky went he encounters a handsome silver fox.
But what he didn't expect was to face him the next day as his new boss!

I absolutely loved the setting of the story. The writing was engaging and the characters were likeable and entertaining.
It was a fun lighthearted listen.

Tim Paige and Liam DiCosimo did an exceptional audio delivery as well.

All the Feels!

Loved this original story with likable characters. All the feels, sweet, romantic and excellently narrated. Highly recommend!
