The Cockpit by Ava Olsen
4.0
This book was such an unexpectedly romantic read.
I know, how unusual for a romance, right?
But based on the tension and heat we saw between Rafe and Captain George in the previous books, I thought there would be a lot more verbal fights, bickering, and hate-kissing. What we got, however, was a beautiful demi representation and a wonderful story of how to properly woo someone.
While Rafe is transitioning from modeling to working behind the lens, he stays on his brother’s yacht (now possibly cursed by the love bug). His old nemesis, Captain George has no choice but to put up with Rafe and his brand of crazy. It was an absolute pleasure to watch Rafe and George finally act like adults and sit down for a grown-up talk. From that magical evening on, their chemistry was off the chart and I couldn’t wait to see how fast they’d fall. Even though Rafe was wanted by so many men while being on top of his modeling career, he never has been courted by anyone. And our dear Captain, who had a failed relationship before, never thought he could keep loving the sea and a man at the same time. I enjoyed learning about these two, both carrying insecurities and questioning their future. I was truly charmed alongside Rafe by all the small, incredibly kind gestures George was coming up with. And while the book also has fantastic steam, this couple didn’t rush to get physical before they get to really know each other. It was a good thing, too, because once their little bubble of happiness burst, that became the real test of their new relationship. Again, an excellent book in the series, I really cannot wait for the next installment.
I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews, and this is my honest review.
