Story
I’ve sworn off men to focus on my dream job that starts on Monday. But my best friend talks me into a final night of fun—a blind date. I only agree because the guy is going to work as a doctor in Africa. It’s the best date of my life. Dr. Africa makes me laugh and swoon, and I want to give him a thorough physical examination. He turns into Dr. One Night Stand, and I’m not sad about it. Monday morning, I’m enthusiastic and excited, until I bump into...you guessed it.

I hate Christmas. As CEO of my company, I’ve banned decorations from the office, festive music from the lobby, and any kind of secret Santa gifts between employees are strictly forbidden. I’m heading to the airport, away from the Christmas lights and the mulled wine, heading for sunshine and margaritas when I get a call from Granny. She’s sprained her ankle and needs my help filling in for her as head of the village Christmas Committee.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

Story
I'm not the kind of girl who has one-night stands. Except...I did. What can I say? After a few drinks with a gorgeous man who made me feel alive for the first time since losing my mom, I was powerless to say no. And I didn't regret it. Not one minute of our hot, mind-melting night together. But he wasn't a forever kind of guy. So I walked away. I wasn't supposed to ever see him again. Then I did. Turns out my sexy one-night stand is Dr. Jacob Mitchell - and he's the cardiothoracic surgeon who just saved my dad's life.

Thinking outside the box resulted in the best night of my life. Until I discover the man I spent it with is my new boss. Attending a secret party where clothes are optional wasn’t a life goal of mine. But when the exclusive invitation ends up in my mailbox by accident...well. Who wouldn't be curious? It's not like I'm going to do anything. The handsome stranger I meet has different plans. One glance across the crowded party and an hour later we're stretched out on silk. No names and no regrets. But I’d forgotten there’s always a price to pay for pleasure.

Story
The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.

Expect absurdity
How can I get these 10 hours back?
If you still like ‘the submissive woman and the selfish demanding man’ kind of story this is your book.
If you are somehow intelligent stay away from it.
The old formula of the rich asshole who falls in love with the stupid weak woman doesn’t seem to end!
The plot is already absurd: 8 weeks in a yacht: it’s not a cruise!! 3 days confined in a yacht makes you deadly sick!!!
Then the asshole that likes to ‘shag’ women (as they repeatedly say) falls in love with the most uninteresting woman he could find on his way.
Of course he does right? Right.
And he decides he owns her, so they call it love.
More absurdities like: unprotected sex with an womaniser, guests touching crew inappropriately as it happens all the time and women just accept it, unrealistic sex scenes, bribes that go from 5,000 to 150,000! Inexplicably!
And then ‘they’ bought a house in London. Yes, in London. Just like this. The poor selfless woman buys a house in London.
If you value your time, skip this title.

Six and half hours in...
I was enjoying this light romantic tale until until the characters just started ringing false and the dialog became repetitive to the point I just had to stop, I couldn't finish. I had a hard enough time with one of the basic premise of the book. (spoiler alert) Taking away the boat crews cell phones for the security and privacy of the main character (for 8 weeks no less!) but having the boat anchored in a harbor most of time and letting the crew go ashore meanwhile made no kind of sense for the plot. I hung in there for as long as I did because of the narrators.

A SWEET FEEL-GOOD CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
Louise Louise Louise.. every single time I start one of your glorious books your stories captivate me.. and, with this your latest crowd pleaser, it’s every bit as enjoyable and entertaining as all the rest. All of Venture Capitalist/Entrepreneur British CEO Hayden Wolf’s latest acquisitions have gone bad because he has a spy somewhere in his office - but Hayden thinks he’s got the perfect plan to sneak his next deal past the spy who’s been selling secrets to his greedy vindictive rival who’s made their war personal. His plan is to disappear, hire a private yacht and crew for 8 weeks, work under the grid to buy his next acquisition.. and reap all the rewards. However, somewhere over one of the Oceans, Hayden loses his heart to Avery Walker - the very attentive, efficient, alluring and sweet Head Stewardess.. unfortunately he also loses his mind a few weeks later when he accuses an innocent Avery of a crime she didn’t commit.
As Head Stewardess on private yachts Avery knew she had a great job sailing the Caribbean and Mediterranean for weeks/months at a time.. but she needed the money and tips it paid to send home to her Dad to pay for her disabled brother’s ever increasing medical bills. However, when a handsome, charming, sexy Englishman called Hayden Wolf climbs aboard demanding no phones, no computers and no communication with the outside world, Avery thinks that being without her phone is going to be her biggest challenge. But Avery is very very wrong.. because resisting Hayden’s many charms will be a challenge, giving in to their off-the-charts chemistry will be a challenge, keeping their mutual attraction a secret will be a challenge, their secret romance will challenge her career.. and, being accused by Hayden of a crime Avery didn’t commit, will be one too many challenges.
Worth a credit? Yes.. there’s strong characters, occasional sexcapades, a nicely paced dual POV slow burn, character growth, angst, a bit of mystery, some choppy waters and a tidal wave were felt along the voyage before the HEA ending. Great narration by Shane East and Erin Mallon whose talents brought to life the sizzles, the swoons and the sighs.. and they made it perfect.

Awful narrator highlights average plot.
I found that the female narrator either has an awful voice for narrator with constant upspeak and vocal fry or was exaggerating those aspects because the female character is from California. I'm Californian, I get it, we use upspeak and vocal fry constantly but not like this narrator does. Her reading made no sense. I've loved Louise Bay's other books but I had to push myself through this one which was so disappointing. I'm fine with cookie cutter plots but the poor narration downgraded this book significantly.

Loved the characters!
4 Crazy Ass Stars!!!
I started out reading this then switched to the audiobook when I saw that my preorder was live. OHHHH...Shane East's accent. *Sigh* I could listen to him all day. And Erin Mallon's narration was spot on as always. This was a great dual narration! I was very entertained whilst doing all these mundane house chores.
I thought the story started out slow but it picked up. While it was a bit on the predictable side, I still hung on because I was invested in the overall story of Hayden and Avery. I really liked both these characters and often found myself dismissing the predictability.
Overall, another great story from Louise Bay!

Sweet & Sexy
This was such a great book. A contemporary romance at its best. I loved spending time yachting with these characters, they’re so likeable. Louise Bay’s writing is always so fun and engaging. I love spending time in her world. This world is no different. I especially loved the background themes with this book - the guilt Avery carried over Michael and his health concerns. Then the thread of suspense with the kind of ‘whodunnit?’ Running throughout the story really gave this book that little something extra.
Louise Bay writes some wonderful book boyfriends and Hayden Wolf can be added to the list, sure I had my doubts at times, in fact, he drove me half insane, but, he redeemed himself. It did take me a while to warm up to him, I thought he was a bit of a jerk to be honest, but, once he got over that little bump he really was the sweetest thing. Avery was such an awesome character, I loved her, she was feisty and independent. The way she cared for and was loyal to her beliefs and her family - it made her so likeable. She’s someone you can imagine being friends with, you know, the friend you need to protect so that others don’t take advantage of her kindness. She was just the sweetest. I loved Landon and I vote for his story next. Closely followed by Michael, Skylar, and August. Ooooh, maybe that’s just two book plans right there?!?!?!
I loved the progression of their relationship. It started out as an attraction and quickly grew into something more. The build-up really made this story special, experiencing the chemistry between these characters and them slowly coming to grips with how they felt and the result of acting on them. It was just perfect. Louise Bay is the queen of sexy times, she writes it so well and it always fits with the story and never feels rushed.
Shane East and Erin Mallon were brilliant. I just love the emotion they convey and the tone and inflections they use to differentiate characters and emotions. Shane was the perfect choice for Hayden Wolf - and not just between of the British accent, although I’m sure it helped, he has the perfect tone for the character, you believed that he was a multi-millionaire on a yacht. The American accents came across well too. Erin, well, it’s no secret I love Erin’s voice, especially that male voice...swoon, she was wonderful as Avery and her accent for Hayden was fantastic. I didn’t notice any production issues.

Female narrator was AWFUL
The only reason I gave the performance 2 stars was because of Shane East, if it was just him I'd have given the full 5 stars but Erin Mallon is awful, I found I just get really irritated when listening to her. I love Louise Bay books but unfortunately the performance aspect on this particular book has ruined it for me

The Ruthless Grentleman
This is a great new story on the high sea's where love can grow in close quarters. Loads of tension between them as they feel the other has let them down. Read brilliantly by Shane East and Erin Mallon.

Enjoyable listen, not taxing on the brain!
This was an enjoyable listen, the narration was a little cringy at times when the male was doing a female voice and vice versa. The female narrator sounded a little breathy or breathless, not sure how to describe it, which was a bit annoying but an easy listen for days when you just want a bit of romance.

Hated the narrator, had to stop listening
It's a personal thing, obviously, how some voices really irritate
With Erin Malone, I was her performance, they way she made everything a little throaty and forced they way one would pretend to be an old person. And every line had the same tune. After 30 minutes I had to switch her off. Sorry. will return book

Romance amongst the world of cut throat business
I found this story about Avery and Hayden captivating as each one struggles against their usual closed down feelings. The narrators did an amazing job of bringing all the characters to life. I recommend this audiobook ❤

A BLUSHING AUDIO REVIEW
MY THOUGHTS ON THE STORY:
I loved the idea of the story and enjoyed the read however I wanted more hot and heavy built up angst, more of the “forbidden” to affair. After the initial hook up there was very little after that, that connected the two characters gravitating from lust to love. This would have made for some hot and naughty sex scenes about the yacht. Had it played out. (late night time skinny dipping, I’m sure you can use your imagination here, blush, blush) That lure of danger of being caught wasn’t dominant enough to be too convincing for me.
I felt Avery was too easily forgiving considering the length of time it took Hayden to come and apologise not to mention he had to get solid evidence first that she was telling the truth before he came to reclaim her.
The HEA was sweet and more realistic then the usual love declaration followed by a bang of wedding and babies. I didn’t love it or hate it so I will mark a 3 Stars because the potential is there it just didn’t divulge deep and emotional enough for me.
MY RATINGS: (All ratings are out of 5)
HERO RATING: 3
HEROINE RATING: 3
BLUSH RATING: 3
ROMANCE RATING: 3
PLOT RATING: 3
OVERALL: 3 Blushing Stars
THE NARRATION:
Shane is brilliant narrator for Hayden’s characters due to his natural British accent but my God was he terrible narrating the female monologue. It was actually cringe worthy to be honest.
Erin was a perfect fit for Avery’s characters, she really draws you in with her emotional impressions and is easy to listen to, she has an ok male portrayal but her British male narration was humorous and not at all appealing.
This would have suited a dual narrative where each narrator speaks only their monologue.
DO I RECCOMEND THIS BOOK?
This is more of an individual choice, if you’re after an emotional, deep and meaningful romance with a defined message than no.

I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit, who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal. One night. No strings. No names. Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk. Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. That Callahan Sharpe. Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.
