BLURB:
Andrew: I’ve traveled the world as a yacht steward for the past year, trying to outrun a broken heart and a mountain of debt. Then a gig as a chief stew on board a yacht in the Caribbean comes my way. The timing is right, the weather is perfect, and the pay is desperately needed.
There’s just one problem…
My billionaire boss, Rowan Carter, is way too distracting. With his charming British accent and sarcastic quips, Rowan commands all my attention and none of it is focused on work. I prepare to meet another entitled jerk when I step on board his ship, but it turns out that Rowan is the exception to the billionaire rule. And I get a first-hand glimpse of the kindhearted man behind the money.
The professional line between us melts away but I’ve been badly burned by a workplace relationship gone wrong. And Rowan and I live in two very different worlds. I can’t – shouldn’t – fall for Rowan Carter.
Oh boy. Too late.
Rowan: I run a real estate empire but being in the top one percent isn’t all fun and caviar. The family business has struggled these past two years and now the one place that was my refuge may be taken away from me. Add to that, I’m a target for the paparazzi because of a former relationship. I’ve never felt so alone. Lonely. Unmoored…
Until a dreamy American named Andrew Slater walks aboard my ship and into my life. Andrew takes delight in answering my snark with sarcastic retorts and his wit is matched by quiet acts of kindness.
Falling in love is an unexpected voyage for both of us. Unless the press gets wind of our relationship, and then all bets are off.
But I fight to win, because Andrew is the most important deal of my life.
Oh Buoy is a boss-employee, friends to lovers, MM romance filled with tropical locations, spicy banter and swoony moments.
REVIEW:
What a wonderful story, it was mesmerizing!
We got here two men who unexpectedly fall in love. The time and circumstances weren’t right but everything else was.
Andrew’s new job as a yacht chief steward started a bit extraordinary, his first step on board started with arguing. Oops, it was his billionaire boss.
Rowan was delighted by this new steward, the man is snarky and fun. Not afraid to open his mouth to a billionaire.
They have a long way to go before there’s a happy end. There’s an instant attraction but no way Andrew would start something with his boss. After a bad breakup where Andrew was left broke, he’ll think twice before starting something.
Rowan is prey for the tabloids, after a breakup with a famous tv celebrity Rowan got all the shit over him, even if it was he who was left behind. He’ll think twice before starting any kind of relationship.
Only, the attraction is too strong, the feelings too real and honest. Both men tentatively discover the true person behind protective walls. Andrew is a hardworking, fun warm-hearted man, Rowan is just as warm, with intense feelings, and in such a difficult position.
The paparazzi are a constant threat, it’s almost impossible to get close to Andrew without getting caught.
A weekend together, away from people, brings them as close as humans can get.
The feelings are mutual, but it’s unrealistic to think they can act on them.
As I said they have a long way to go. It was everything, absolutely mesmerizing to watch them, it was more than just their relationship or the circumstances. There are lawyers, friends, family, exes, co-workers, trips, too much to mention all. Read it yourself, I was swept off my feet by this story.
The scenery was beautiful, the writing stunning, the banter fun, the sexiness delicious, the emotions real and honest, the characters amazing and well-developed.
The whole story together? ALL the stars.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!
