BLURB:

Charlie: Being a first officer on board the superyacht Now, Voyager is a dream come true. And my personal life? I’m in and out and on to the next port, so to speak. I don’t have the inclination for a boyfriend. So when my boss asks me to work over the Christmas holiday, I’m happy to say yes.
And then Kiernan Doyle arrives.
The Irish bodyguard is a brawny grump with sad eyes and a shy smile. And I’m a sucker for a tough guy with a big…heart. Only, I’m pretty sure Kiernan told me he’s straight and I’ve been down that road before, falling for a man who can’t return my feelings. But I won’t deny that something is building between us.
And once we get under that mistletoe, I know. Christmas, and my life, will never be the same.

Kiernan: I’m a former MMA fighter turned bodyguard and while the fight money was great, my body knew it was time to leave. And being a bodyguard has its perks. Guarding billionaire Rowan Carter, and his husband Andrew is hardly work at all. His entourage of friends and family have become my friends too.
Including Charlie Cates, the First Officer on Rowan’s yacht.
Charlie’s not intimidated by my size or my grumpy demeanor. He’s the first person in years that I feel any kind of connection to. And I don’t know if it’s me or the mistletoe, but suddenly, I’m having naughty thoughts about the cute yachtie with killer dimples. Thoughts I’ve never had about a man before.
It turns out, all I want for Christmas, all I want always, is…Charlie.

Nauti or Nice is a friends to lovers, bisexual awakening, MM romance filled with first times, found family, and a HEA that will warm your Christmas spirit.

REVIEW:

What a marvelous story. Such a great addition to the series!

We got our big bodyguard Kieran and first officer of ‘Now, Voyager’ Charlie.
When they locked eyes there was already something. A friendship was born. As far as Charlie knows Kieran is straight, no hook up with him.
Kieran is questioning himself, about all these feelings he has for Charlie.

Oh, sweet Kieran what are you doing to yourself? Give yourself to Charlie and then return back to be friends, because yeah Charlie can’t offer more.
My heart, Kieran was irresistible, he’s a snuggler!

Charlie was a done-and-run guy, but Kieran was for him a different territory. All those feelings he wasn’t used to having, Kieran the huge grumpy bodyguard was soft and pliant in Charlie’s hands.

My goodness, they were everything! Watch them. It was awesome how their relationship navigates through all the fuss on board. Work and pleasure! We meet all the other fantastic people from the previous stories

This author is so good at writing intense moments, hot, romantic, emotional, chemistry and desperation, hard need, coming from somewhere deep down. It was everything!
The whole series is so well developed and super enjoyable and this one was just as amazing!
A recommendation worthy!!
