Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Lexi and Zeke have a one night stand that ends up extended when they are accidentally swept out to sea in a house boat.

I loved the concept of this one, and had such an enjoyable read overall! This was so close to being five stars for me, particularly as I truly didn’t want it to end, and I LOVED the characters (especially Zeke). The audio was also great, and the narrators did a great job.

My one gripe was definitely the third act, which contained some developments I didn’t love and overall felt a bit unnecessary to me. Still, the ending was perfect, and I loved the epilogue as well. Overall VERY enjoyable, and highly recommend for its originality and entertainment value!

CW: Injury/blood; mentions of abandonment; death of parent; infidelity (not by MCs)
