This is my first review ever (I'm shy). But I enjoyed this so much I've been drawn out of quiet stalk-dom.
I used to be a dancer and did a stint on a cruise ship so it might be because of that, but the characters in this book really came to life for me and I tore through it. The ship dynamic was really well drawn and well, I think I may be in love with Dylan myself. Swoon.
Entangled Publishing sure can pick their debut authors. Looking forward to the next one from de Winton.

I really enjoyed The Boss and Her Billionaire. It was a romance with ups and downs and there were moments that I wasn't sure if we'd have our Happily Ever After. There were moments were I wasn't even sure if I wanted them to be together. I had some issues with Dylan and the way he acted. In the end he pulled his act together but I felt like he should have been made to grovel.
Michaela Western is a cruise director and has been dealing with a snarky captain ever since she ended their affair. An affair which would've never happened had he told her that he was married. Now she's left with his attitude and her work. Her work is her life, even if that means she's lonely.
Dylan Johns is an overworked suit who is not only burdened with running the family company, he has to deal with his brother's family problems as well. His brother mysteriously reappears after being gone a long time and he declares that Dylan should take a three month vacation to enable him to work out the issues between himself and his wife Lily. Lily and her children rely on Dylan because Brian is never there. Although he is skeptical, Dylan agrees to do it. He hopes that Brian has changed and the family will be able to heal.
Michaela has a strict no relationship rule that pertains to the passengers as well as the staff. Staff which now encludes the very tempting Dylan. Dylan really likes what he sees. He sees her as a challenge that he is not going to back down from.
It was hard to put this book down even though I had some issues with Dylan. The story flowed easily and Michele de Winton masterfully wove the plot with enough twists and turns to keep the page turning in full swing. The only complaint that I have is one that I voice with many books. I wanted more of an ending! Don't get me wrong, there was a definite ending but I wish it would have been dragged out a little more.
This was an adult romance with some sizzle so reader be warned!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
