A review by fabi_g
Private Charter by N.R. Walker
2.0
Stuart is smack dab in the middle of the rat race. Making a name for himself in Mergers & Acquisitions. The job related stress level is affecting his health. On his doctor's orders, he takes his first vacation in five years, booking a cruise for two on a yacht. The night before it sails, his friend-with-benefits backs out of the trip leaving Stuart to board on his own.
Foster left the rat race six years ago. Now the proud owner of a yacht specialising in exclusive tours for couples. He tends to pick up the LGBTQ couples since being gay himself puts the couples more at ease.
The two hit it off pretty quickly, finding each other well versed in common topics and life experience. It doesn't take long for a spark of attraction to ignite. Stuart isn't shy about finding out if Foster is interested in more than conversation. I liked the teasing, the open sexuality. Even though I'm not a fan of tiny, white, see through Speedos. :-/
Unfortunately, once they started becoming intimate, the story lost a bit of steam for me. About halfway through, the descriptions of the setting were excruciatingly repetitive. I also had a hard time differentiating the characters. The two guys were so similar that I often had no clue who was talking or doing what. A couple of times I backtracked to the beginning of the chapter to see who's POV I was reading.
It wasn't long before I was skimming. Something needed to happen to liven up this plot because it had fallen pretty flat by now. It was around the standard 80% or so that it got a little hair raising crazy. I enjoyed the action. :-) ... And then... There was a really cheesy ending. 🤷♀️
Really, it's not a bad little romance. There's just not much to it and I have to admit to being a little bored with it. It was "just ok" for me.
By Goodreads star rating system, "just ok" = 2 stars.
