This follows Tom who is going viral on socials and a comedian. He has been on the cruise boat entertainment scene for a while. It’s now time for another six-month stint on the cruise boat. Little does he know that the mysterious brunette is his best friend’s sister and keeping a low profile. But what is she hiding from?
Huge shout out to Philippa for including a recap at the start for More Than Shipmates book one in the series! I loved this Megan and Tom’s tension was fantastic. The cruise boat parties were brilliant. I loved the mysterious element of trying to work out why Megan was hiding her true identity. We love a consent and patient king and Tom takes the title. The perfect amount of spice with some fantastic scenes. I will mention though the last 15% of the book I struggled to get my head around the Megan storyline. It felt quick from being sad and struggling then standing up for herself which she deserves of course. But personally, my brain wasn’t grasping what was going on and understanding clearly what happened fully and it felt a little fast towards the end. Other than that the book was great and was a feel-good read.

This was such a fun read and a great follow up to More Than Shipmates! I had no idea what to expect from Toms book but this was basically perfection. He is such a beautiful human and I’m glad he finally got his HEA. I loved the tension between him and Gem. The steamy scenes were next level! Definitely recommend for anyone wanting a steamy cruise ship series. I’m so excited for book 3!
I received an ARC from the author.
This book has certain ✨moments✨ I’ve personally never read before. IYKYK… and I didn’t hate it.
I loved the bts of the reality show.
I also loved the relationship both Gemma and Tom have we Jack. He seems like such a teddy bear

Tom and Gemma are really cute. They happen pretty fast but it really works for them. He knows that she is the one for him, they just both have to work through some insecurities for this to happen. Something like it happened in the first book so I should have been prepared for the threesome but I was not at all. It was interesting how it only made their relationship stronger. I loved seeing Gemma stick it to the producers at the end. I am excited for Jack's book.
