Below Deck Billionaire
Theo Callisthenes - renowned playboy and heir to a multi-billion-dollar Greek shipping company’s sex-capades - always make the front page. But when one misdemeanor goes too far, his brother offers up a challenge. Restore his reputation with a 4-month sex ban…
Vowing to see the ban through, Theo takes up residence on his superyacht sailing around the Greek islands. Until one day, the one woman he hasn’t been able to hit and quit - Tiffany Wainright - strides onboard as the newest member of his crew. Temptation has set sail with him and the forced proximity gives him absolutely nowhere to hide! Tiffany might live below deck but their attraction is still electric and she’s just too close for comfort.
Then an opportunity to salvage a business deal he put in jeopardy is back on the table. To ensure success Theo may need a very indecent proposal. Can he convince Tiffany to pose as his fake fiancé during the day to help seal the deal and trust that neither of them will succumb to their burning chemistry once the sun goes down? It’s only for two days but how long will the ban hold when the door closes on his suite and there’s only his sorely tested honour keeping them in check?

I do love an Amy Andrews story she brings sensuality, warmth and steam to the pages with awesome characters I have been eagerly awaiting Theo’s story since reading Ari’s story and I loved it from start to finish.
Tho Callisthenes is the heir to a multi-billion dollar shipping company but is known for his interactions with the females he keeps company with, one night stand Theo is what he is known for and the paparazzi are always following and splashing photos of him over the tabloids, but when the company is just about to lose a deal because of the last photo, Theo makes a bet with brother Ari that he can substance from sex for two months, will he be able to do so?
Theo moves onto his super yacht, Nerida to make sure he keeps his promise and the first month has gone really well but when a new staff member arrives on board, Tiffany Wainright Theo knows that he is going to have big problems keeping his promise, you see Tiffany is the one woman he can never forget.
Tiffany is shocked to see who her new boss is for the short term contract, memories come flooding back of the one night they spent together after her best friend’s wedding and the steam rises, but they agree to work together but when Theo asks her to be his pretend fiancé for a few days to save a deal she accepts but this brings them so much closer together and the heat between them grows, will they be able keep their hands off each other?
What a story, I loved Theo and Tiffany so much both had issues from the past that helped make them who they are today but can they together find true love and happiness? This one is so steamy and sensual filled with emotion and one that I highly recommend to any lover of a hot romance, it is a must read.
My thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for my ARC to read.

I love that it was Tiffany who tamed this wild one. We got a tiny glimpse into their connection at the end of the first book. I love that she didn’t fall at Theo’s feet and he had to work at getting her. I haven’t read many books based on a yacht and I find that I like this setting. I’d love more in this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for this ARC!
This was such a fun and heartwarming read. A fake fiancée and popular playboy pairing? Yes please!
I really enjoyed how the author developed the characters — watching them grow into love felt natural and well-paced. The chemistry was strong, and the side characters added depth without overshadowing the main story.
The writing was engaging and easy to fall into, and I especially loved how the emotional connection between the leads evolved over time.
A solid 4-star read, and I highly recommend it to fans of swoony fake relationship romances!

“But if this last two months had proved anything, it was that Theo Callisthenes was always up for a dare.”
Below Deck Billionaire was a follow up to Undercover Billionaire and a fun story of the second Callisthenes brother. Theo is taking a hiatus from women, his reputation is getting to become too public so now it’s four months of solitude. However when month two finishes he is met with the one who got away.
Tiffany Wainright is ready for a new job, no longer working cruise ships she has found a private yacht to steward for. She just isn’t expecting the owner of the boat to be Theo, a past one night stand.
I enjoyed the tension these two had while trying their best to stay away from each other but there is only so much space on a yacht, even when it’s a super yacht. I also loved getting glimpses of Ari and Kelsey from the first book!

Another ARC sent to me by Love books tour and boy did this book pack a punch. It was a steamy, romantic and spicy, packed to the brim with emotion, intensity and of course lots of sex to get you hot under the collar. Amy Andrews has wrote the perfect one night stand coupling to a happy ever after marriage and boy was I there with every turn of the page. It just had me hooked from the first few letters and that isn’t an exaggeration, I ate this up very quickly and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend you read this when it’s released on the 28th July♥️

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an early copy of this book.
I hadn't heard of this series before requesting it, only Amy Andrews from her previous rugby series. Thankfully, the author does a really good job of bringing the reader up to speed so I didn't feel like I missed anything.
The book fits the billionaire romance and the forced proximity tropes nicely, but the fake fiancé doesn't happen until about 50% in. Judging by its placement in the blurb, I thought it was going to happen sooner and this became a recurring problem with the book. The pacing of individual scenes was good, but when it came to the big romantic beats, they were squashed together and came later than they should have. Instead of allowing them time to breathe, we get beats that are a little thin and have to be rushed. That was disappointing since a book of this length shouldn't have this problem.
I'm confused when it came to the comp titles. The Below Deck comp is completely accurate so I didn't have a problem there. However, there was the Indecent Proposal comp. Unless there's another Indecent Proposal besides the book (which I don't think a lot of people know about) and the film starring Robert Redford, Demi Moore, and Woody Harrelson, what other Indecent Proposal are they talking about? I had to keep checking the blurb to see if I had misread it and it wasn't actually a specific reference, but nope it was. If you were intrigued by that comp (I know I was), then you'll be disappointed.
Don't get me started on how, somehow, a 35-year-old man who got a vasectomy when he was in his 20s didn't really know what he wanted and how that relates to him being commitment-phobic. Yeah, that really did my head in and really got on my nerves. Let's be real, it was really shitty that Tiffany was judgmental as fuck about Theo's choice and that made me dislike her a lot.
Ultimately, I went into this expecting one thing based off the blurb and got another as well as some rhetoric about a grown individual can't make reproductive decisions on their own and "what if they meet their soulmate who wants kids" shit (there's been great strides in romance novels about being childfree so this really took me out of the book.)

Definitely recommend.
Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved the cover and blurb of this book. I did like how Tiffany and Theo were together. Their chemistry. I listened to this book in less than 24 hours. I couldn't put it down. This was hot and steamy. I was hooked from the first page to the last page. This is the 3rd book I've read by this author. I can't wait to read more by this author. I definitely recommend this book.

This is a good spicy billionaire romance. The story is well written and has elements of yearning, longing, and fake fiance. Theo is known as a playboy, but an inventor wants to see that he has changed his ways so he asks Tiffany, who he has a history with, to be his fake fiance. This of course leads to all sorts of tension and romance brewing.

Tiff’s one night stand turns out to be her new boss. Theo is usually a one and done guy, but hasn’t gotten Tiff out of his mind.
They’re on a yacht. One bed. Fake fiance.
This is a cute billionaire romance!

°•. When her eyes had returned to his, Theo had seen the same hunger in her gaze he'd seen the night of the wedding. When he'd also been wearing a tux.
But she'd merely said, "Don't scrub up too badly there, boss,” as she'd pulled her gaze off him to the activity at the bar and asked, “Who wants to lose their money first?”
Unanimously, the guys had nominated Fabian and laughter filled the saloon, breaking Theo out of his gaze, his surroundings coming back into sharp focus again, his body systems coming back online. Air had rushed inland out of his lungs, his legs had solidified beneath him and, consciously, he'd slipped his business mask on because it was going to be the only way he'd remember that Tiffany fucking Wainwright was totally off limits.
And he'd needed it every time her hazel gaze had strayed in his direction. °•.
Review
|:: The heart wants what it wants, but how do you silence everything else to listen to it? Is it worth the risk, or should past lessons be a warning of things to come?
We follow Theo Callisthenes, a rich billionaire playboy who is used to getting whatever he wants. This includes the women in his life. But when his brother, Ari, storms in and challenges him to a sex ban for the next four months, Theo grudgingly agrees.
The challenge? He must stay celibate while Ari works to get back an investment that Theo jeopardised with his high-profile escapades, which have been splattered all over the newspapers.
For honour, and as a proud Greek man, Theo sets about the task of removing all temptation from his path. He escapes on his boat, the Nerida, eager to see his brother eat his words and prove that Theo can do anything he puts his mind to.
That was until she turned up—the one woman he hasn't been able to stop thinking about. Unlike his usual one-and-done deals with women, he woke up to an empty bed, as she had already left. Usually, it's Theo who does the walk of shame.
How can he possibly resist her when he's her boss, and she has to do everything he says? Did his brother put her up to it? She is, after all, best friends with Ari's wife, which is how they had their first encounter.
And then there's the end of the deal: the cherry on top is that Theo must convince an ally, who has always hated him, that he can be trusted.
How can he convince him when he's not sure he can convince himself?
My Thoughts
Okay, first of all, this was a joy to read. There have only been a handful of books I’ve read that cover both characters’ inner thoughts without needing a title to say who they refer to. It was nice to see an actual plot, because usually with "spicy" books there seems to be a lack of one. This was laid-back and raw for sure, but it had a lovely twist of reality to it.
I loved Tiffany from the moment I met her. It was so easy to relate to her—even though I’m not from the Outback or born on a farm, I do have a sailor's mouth, and her reactions mirrored mine! She had a lot more willpower than I would have, though!
I found Theo really charming, even when he was in "grizzly bear mode." He seemed like a bad boy with good-boy conduct, and although I don't think you would ever find one of them in real life, it was still nice to read about one. I loved Ari and Kelsey, and I didn't even know that much about them. After this, I am definitely going to read their story, because if it was anything like this one, I'm in!
The Greek family was a lovely touch, and you could feel the family ties run deep, especially in Mykonos. The descriptions of the scenery made you want to go and witness it for yourself. When the fishermen were mentioned, I swear I could smell the salt in the air.
I think I have a new favourite author! ::|

Review: Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews
Publisher: Boldwood Books
Publication Date: July 28, 2025
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Amy Andrews is known for her sizzling chemistry, witty banter, and the kind of romance that reads like a sun-drenched vacation—and Below Deck Billionaire is no exception. Set against the lush backdrop of the Greek Isles aboard a luxury yacht, this story pairs a scandal-ridden billionaire with a no-nonsense woman from his past, stirring up plenty of sexual tension, emotional push-pull, and just the right dose of drama.
The premise is clear-cut and enticing: Theo Callisthenes, heir to a Greek shipping empire and tabloid regular thanks to his very public escapades, is handed an ultimatum by his brother—go four months without sex to repair the family’s image, or risk permanent damage to their business and legacy. Theo reluctantly agrees and retreats to his yacht, aiming to keep a low profile while sailing through paradise. Things stay relatively on course until Tiffany Wainright, a strong-willed, competent woman from his past (whom he failed to seduce the first time around), joins the crew. The chemistry between them? Immediate. Electric. Complicated.
The bulk of the novel leans into forced proximity and will-they-won’t-they tension. The dynamic between Theo and Tiffany is classic Andrews—sharp dialogue, teasing one-liners, and simmering heat that makes you want to turn the page just to see who breaks first. The plot thickens when Theo’s attempt to resurrect a jeopardized business deal requires a fake engagement. Naturally, Tiffany is the only one he trusts—and wants—enough to ask. What follows is a sexy, sunlit charade that starts to blur into something real.
Andrews handles the fake-relationship trope well, especially in how she builds trust and emotional stakes amid the heat. However, while the setup is fun and fast-paced, the story does tread some familiar ground. Readers looking for a wholly original take on the trope might find it a bit predictable at times. The pacing occasionally rushes through deeper emotional revelations, and some of Theo’s growth feels surface-level rather than transformative.
Still, this book knows what it is—a billionaire fantasy with playful high-stakes energy, some well-placed heart, and plenty of heat. It’s pure romantic escapism: private yachts, sun-soaked flirtation, and two people who can’t stay away from each other even when they know they should.
Final thoughts: If you’re in the mood for a sexy, luxurious escape with forced proximity, fake fiancé drama, and two characters who challenge each other in the best ways, Below Deck Billionaire will absolutely scratch that itch. While it may not reinvent the genre, it delivers everything it promises—and sometimes, that’s exactly what you want from a summer romance.

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me the privilege of being able to read this book!
I've had the privilege of recently reading 'The Payback Plan' by Amy Andrews and I adored it, so I just knew she wouldn't disappoint me with this book. I was right! I've read a lot of fake engagement/ fake relationship books, especially lately and this is honestly the best one I've ever read! It had everything most of those other books are usually lacking; actual connection I can truly feel, a genuine interest in knowing things about each other, and not just for the premise of their fake relationship but because they want too and my gosh that chemistry!
I fell in love with the characters; Theo and Tiffany they're everything. They're perfectly well rounded characters that despite where they come from they feel so real, just like you and me and the growth they go through and their relationship from start too finish was beautiful! It's so nice reading characters that actually feel and act their ages. I love that they actually talk things out like you or I would! There is an event that occurs that is really emotional (not a third act breakup thank gosh) and it really pulled at my heart, probably more for me than most. But that's because right now I might end up going through something similar. But that epilogue stole my heart and it was exactly what I hoped it would be! What really stole my heart though was the setting! The way the author was able to weave her descriptions of everything and every place, I couldn't stop picturing it all and feeling like I was right there alongside the characters and I so wish that I could be, it sounds so beautiful!
Also should the author ever write a book involving a little myth and fantasy (a concept alluded too in the book) I will be the first one lined up to read it, because I can completely see her being able to write something like that!
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for writing a book I've fallen for I truly appreciate it! I loved this so much, I know I'll be able to read it again and again and I can't wait until I can bring it home along with some of her other works!

They're perfectly well rounded characters that despite where they come from they feel so real, just like you and me and the growth they go through and their relationship from start too finish was beautiful! It's so nice reading characters that actually feel and act their ages. I love that they actually talk things out like you or I would! There is an event that occurs that is really emotional (not a third act breakup thank gosh) and it really pulled at my heart, probably more for me than most. But that's because right now I might end up going through something similar. But that epilogue stole my heart and it was exactly what I hoped it would be! What really stole my heart though was the setting! The way the author was able to weave her descriptions of everything and every place, I couldn't stop picturing it all and feeling like I was right there alongside the characters and I so wish that I could be, it sounds so beautiful!
Also should the author ever write a book involving a little myth and fantasy (a concept alluded too in the book) I will be the first one lined up to read it, because I can completely see her being able to write something like that!
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for writing a book I've fallen for I truly appreciate it! I loved this so much, I know I'll be able to read it again and again and I can't wait until I can bring it home along with some of her other works!

I received this as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Below Deck Billionaire is a sizzling, escapist romp through the sun-drenched Greek islands—with just the right balance of billionaire glitz, forbidden attraction, and emotional tension to keep romance fans flipping pages. This is a perfect holiday read.
This is a sequel but I didn’t feel like I had to have read the first one to understand and enjoy this book. At the heart of the story is Theo, a tabloid magnet and the scandal-prone heir to a Greek shipping empire. After one too many sex scandals, his no-nonsense brother hits him with an impossible challenge: a four-month celibacy ban. Theo agrees—more for pride than principle—and retreats to his luxury yacht to ride out the storm. But when Tiffany Wainright, the one woman he can’t forget, joins the crew, the plot instantly thickens.
Tiffany is sharp, self-assured, and refreshingly uninterested in being another notch on Theo’s designer belt. Their dynamic crackles with tension, especially under the constraints of forced proximity and their smouldering mutual history.
The added layer of the fake fiancée trope injects just enough emotional stakes to give this sexy story some heart. Watching Theo wrestle with his own reputation, growing feelings, and the challenge of earning Tiffany’s trust provides satisfying character development beyond the usual playboy-meets-his-match setup.
While the setup is delightfully over-the-top—and proudly so—the pacing does lag in the mid-section as the yacht-bound narrative begins to feel a little too confined and turns it to a bit of a slow burn. Still, the final chapters more than make up for it, with a romantic crescendo that’s both earned and intoxicating. I just wish a bit more could have been made of the ending, as it felt rushed.

Quick Summary: A Greek billionaire romance
My Review: Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews is a "BRAND NEW forced proximity billionaire romance. It is scheduled for release on 7/28/25.
About the Book: "Theo Callisthenes - renowned playboy and heir to a multi-billion-dollar Greek shipping company...enters "a challenge...a 4-month sex ban…
Vowing to see the ban through, Theo takes up residence on his superyacht sailing around the Greek islands. Until one day the one woman he hasn’t been able to hit and quit – Tiffany Wainright - strides onboard..."
In My Own Words: An uber-rich player who doesn't believe in one night stands is haunted by the memory of the woman who causes him to take a second look. When a work assignment unexpectedly brings the two of them back together, all bets are off.
My Final Say: This story seriously reminded me of a Harlequin of old. It had the classic elements - a rich guy with a reputation, business dealings and soirees, a woman from humble means with a tragic backstory, an instant attraction that reveals a burning passion, and a low to medium boil conflict that uncovers an unsettled matter between the leads.
There were a couple of plot points that dangled, in my opinion. Despite that, the writer brought the story to the inevitable conclusion.
Other: Readers who enjoy close proximity working situations, ONS to forever scenarios, fake relationship drama, and/or Greek billionaire romances may like this novel.

Billionaire playboy on a forced celibacy break? Say less.
Theo Callisthenes is no stranger to the headlines—or the bedroom—but after one scandal too many, his brother gives him a challenge: four months without sex to save the family’s business. His plan? Hide out on his superyacht in the Greek islands and stay out of trouble. Easy, right?
Enter Tiffany Wainright: the one woman he hasn’t been able to get out of his head. She’s smart, grounded, and officially the newest crew member aboard his yacht. Forced proximity + unresolved tension = disaster for Theo’s so-called “honor.”
Add in a business deal that can only be salvaged if Tiffany agrees to pose as his fake fiancée for 48 hours, and things start heating up fast. They're supposed to play the part by day and keep their hands to themselves at night… but the chemistry between them is off the charts, and the longer the act goes on, the blurrier the lines become.
This is one of those sun-soaked, yacht-setting, enemies-to-lovers-with-a-twist stories that delivers exactly what you expect in the best way. It’s got: 🛥️ Forced proximity 🛥️ Fake engagement 🛥️ Celibacy bet 🛥️ Playboy x no-nonsense heroine 🛥️ Touch of second chance 🛥️ And lots of summer spice
Tiffany is easy to root for—strong, independent, and determined to make a better life for herself and her brother. Theo’s cocky and charming, but when it counts, he shows up. Their dynamic is hot, banter-filled, and surprisingly sweet underneath the tension.
I do wish the ending had a little more time to breathe, but this was a quick, fun read and a perfect beach escape. If you like a luxe setting, witty heat, and high-stakes romance, Below Deck Billionaire is worth the trip.

I picked this book for the title alone. I’m obsessed with all things Below Deck and can never resist a romance on a superyacht. I was hoping for something fun, flirty, and tropical, and I got all of that and more. I’m so glad I read this book.
Theo is your classic billionaire playboy, but after a tabloid catches him in a spicy situation, it starts messing with a major business deal. To clean up his image, his brother bets he can’t go four months without sex. Theo takes the challenge seriously and moves onto his yacht to stay out of trouble.
Tiffany wants to slow down and finally finish her dream book. When she lands a job as the live-in steward on a luxury yacht, it seems perfect. That is, until she meets the owner and realizes it's the sexy stranger she had the best one-night stand with. Now she’s stuck working for him while trying to ignore the spark that never died.
Things really heat up when Theo asks her to be his fake fiancée to help salvage the deal. They agree to keep it simple, just play the part, but sharing a room and faking PDA gets complicated fast. The tension builds, and when feelings start to grow, neither of them is prepared for how real it starts to feel.
These two were pure fire. I couldn’t put this book down and ended up reading it in one sitting. Their backstories made their walls and fears feel real, and it made me love their relationship even more. I melted when Theo was willing to rethink something he always said he’d never want, just to keep her.
Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for the pleasure of reading this amazing ARC. If you love fake fiancés, forced proximity, or anything yacht-related, grab this one for your next read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this new installment of the series set on a private yacht in the Aegean Sea. The well written plot gives you vacation feeling, is full of emotion, humor, banter and lots of steam and has following tropes:
- Billionaire romance
- Past One-Night stand
- Workplace romance
- Boss-employee romance
- Fake Engagement
- Close/Forced proximity
- Reformed Playboy
Theo and Tiffany are wonderful protagonists with moving backstories and there’s also a whole cast of very likable supporting characters. The chemistry between the two crackles and the undeniable attraction and tension is palpable throughout the book. It was funny to see how the two of them tried to keep their distance and how provocative Tiffany was at times. Although the hinted one-night stand between the two takes place in the previous book, it is not necessary to have read the first part but I recommend to read the series in order. I was very pleased to meet Ari again.
Billionaire Theodorus Callisthenes is a renowned playboy who lives by the motto one-and-done. When scandalous photos of him appear and an important business deal threatens to fall through because of them, his brother Ari challenges him to a bet: no sex for four months and Theo reluctantly agrees. It's difficult, but doable. However, things change when Tiffany Wainwright accepts a job on his private yacht. They had a one-night stand at his brother's and Tiffany's best friend Kelsey’s wedding and he could never quite forget her…
If you enjoy entertaining romance novels about reformed billionaire playboys and strong heroines with banter, sexual tension and heat, this book is for you!
I received a free ARC of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and left voluntarily.

Well this was hot, Hot, HOT!!! Between the heat of the Greek Islands in summer and the chemistry between Theo and Tiffany, well it's hot and steamy in so many ways.
And I was totally there for it, I absolutely devoured this incredibly raunchy book, and thoroughly enjoyed every pleasurable moment of it.
Set on a super yacht, featuring rich playboy Theo who is currently thanks to his brother on a no sex dare for four months, as an attempt to repair his public image and stop being papped and having what should be rather more private images revealed to the worlds press.
And Tiffany the girl he hasn't stopped thinking about since their one night together at his brother's wedding to her best friend, has now started to work as second stew on the yacht. After some initial shock at the situation, the conversations between them, the tension, the flirting, the forbidden looks etc.. all served to raise the heat between the pair of them.
The descriptions of the Greek Islands rang true to me, especially was I was reading this week after cruising the area and a few nights in Athens myself. Took me straight back on holiday, but without the sexy billionaire.
I loved the way this developed into one of my favourite tropes and then once the inevitable occurs, wow those are some really spicy scenes (and I wish I had been alone while I was reading to really enjoy them properly).
What a fabulous book, my first from this author. I devoured every page and would have happily read more.

Lots of pining and longing!
Ah, I just loved this steamy but mostly hands-off romance! Theo and Tiffany start off with a one night stand the night they meet, and her best friend's wedding to his brother. Months later, Theo is goaded into a no-sex dare then Tiffany, taking a break from working for the cruise line owned by Theo and his brother, is assigned to work on his private yacht for a couple months.
The close proximity is tempting enough, and I loved all their teasing and back-and-forth as they worked side-by-side. The week-long visit of his childhood friends was so much fun to read, and I loved how they both got along with all the rest of the crew members.
Then Theo needs to pretend to be engaged in order to close a deal with an important client, and he just can't picture anyone else in the role of his fiancée besides Tiffany. I really enjoyed his inner monologue as he struggled with why he felt that way, as there's nothing more fun to read about than a playboy falling for the one woman he can't have!
There's so much emotional depth to this story, as the author takes us inside both Theo's and Tiffany's family ties and romantic histories. I also loved that we got a nice update on Ari and Kelsey's HEA (from Undercover Billionaire). Theo and Tiffany get their own wonderful HEA with a very satisfying epilogue set two years later. As much as I loved the first book, this one is my favorite. Recommended for anyone who loves steamy contemporary romances.

Below Deck Billionaire is a fun , sexy and banter filled escape from the real world. Author Amy Andrews has definitely caught my attention.
Theo, a billionaire who is catching too much attention for his extracurricular activities. He is given an ultimatum either destroy their family business and legacy or go a few months without having sex. If he can’t have sex, he might as well be in paradise right. Theo decides to spend this time on a shot sailing through paradise while staying out of the public eye. Everything is fine until a new crewmember arrives. That’s pushing all of his buttons.
Tiffany is a no nonsense, strong and witty woman. Taking on the new job as second Stewart on a super yard should have been easy sailing, but Little did she know the person she would be working for, well they share history. They shared one night together, and she can still feel the chemistry buzzing between them. With her below deck and him above, you can almost feel the electricity in the air between them. For proximity, the beautiful Greek aisles and a crazy proposal that ends up being something bigger.
Below Deck Billionaire is a slow burn, forced proximity, fake fiancé story with all the sizzles. Tiffany and Theo worked well together and I love seeing the relationship develop. Amy Andrews gives a well written story with a bit of humor and with some amazing dialogue and lots of little things to take off all those boxes that we romance, readers love. I will definitely be checking out her other works.

Below Deck Billionaire is a delightful, sexy romp that grabbed my interest and held me to the pages from start to finish. There is a connection to Undercover Billionaire, although they aren’t listed as a series… just a family name and cruise ship line in common. Still, if you enjoyed this one, you might want to check out the earlier release.
I had such fun with Tiffany and Theo in Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews! When Tiffany traded in crewing on a cruise liner to being part of the crew of a super yacht, well, she never could have expected to find her hot, sexy one-night stand onboard. She might have lingering thoughts about their sizzling encounter, but they were worlds apart. Until Theo makes an unusual proposition, one that could end in disaster or grant her the deepest wishes of her heart, she’ll take a gamble and enjoy a journey toward a future she never expected could come true.

Below Deck Billionaire is the ideal summer read, particularly for fans of steamy slow burns, playful banter, and popular tropes such as fake relationships, opposites attract, and second chances. As this story encompasses all of that and much more.
As Theo Callisthenes, heir to a Greek shipping empire, faces an ultimatum: keep it in his pants for four months or risk damaging his family's reputation and business. Recognizing he has no other choice, Theo decides to retreat to his luxury yacht to avoid temptation and the persistent paparazzi.
However, he does not expect Tiffany Wainwright to join the crew. As she is sexy, sharp, capable, and seemingly immune to Theo's charms—at least she was once. And the forced proximity between them creates immediate tension, banter, friction, and a hint of flirting. But both are determined to resist their attraction until a business crisis compels Theo to stage a fake engagement, with Tiffany as the obvious and, frankly, only choice.
And what starts as a mere charade soon evolves into something much deeper. And with plenty of spice, heart, luxurious settings, and playful dialogue, Below Deck Billionaire is the perfect book to escape into, especially while lounging on the beach this summer.
My thanks to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy of Below Deck Billionaire. All thoughts expressed are my own. ☺️

I enjoyed the book
Blurb
Theo Callisthenes - renowned playboy and heir to a multi-billion-dollar Greek shipping company’s sex-capades - always make the front page. But when one misdemeanor goes too far, his brother offers up a challenge. Restore his reputation with a 4-month sex ban…
Vowing to see the ban through, Theo takes up residence on his superyacht sailing around the Greek islands. Until one day, the one woman he hasn’t been able to hit and quit - Tiffany Wainright - strides onboard as the newest member of his crew. Temptation has set sail with him and the forced proximity gives him absolutely nowhere to hide! Tiffany might live below deck but their attraction is still electric and she’s just too close for comfort.
Then an opportunity to salvage a business deal he put in jeopardy is back on the table. To ensure success Theo may need a very indecent proposal. Can he convince Tiffany to pose as his fake fiancé during the day to help seal the deal and trust that neither of them will succumb to their burning chemistry once the sun goes down? It’s only for two days but how long will the ban hold when the door closes on his suite and there’s only his sorely tested honour keeping them in check?

Theo is known for his 'one-and-done,' no relationships, but when his one too many risky escapades could cost him a business deal, his brother, Ari, makes him a bet to go celibate.
Challenge accepted, until onboard his super yacht, the newest crew is Tiffany, Ari's wife's best friend and a previous 'one and done' from his brothers wedding a few month previously, but is it karma that the woman he can't get out of his head is the one who is standing in front of him during his celibacy?
But Tiffany is following her dreams, and she doesn't trust men, especially not the playboy the tabloids are always printing about, Theo. But Tiffany and Theo might be exactly what each other needs to fall in love.
I loved that we were able to visit previous characters, Ari and Kelsey, and adored the character of Tiffany; she just wanted the easy life, and to help her younger brother.
Whereas Theo was living his best life, and it was the collision of these two characters into one another's lives that opened them both up for more.
Andrews gives us a feel-good novel, with a lot of cleverly written spice, and a great addition to this series.
Challenge accepted, until onboard his super yacht, the newest crew is Tiffany, Ari's wife's best friend and a previous 'one and done' from his brothers wedding a few month previously, but is it karma that the woman he can't get out of his head is the one who is standing in front of him during his celibacy?

Theo Callisthenes - renowned playboy and heir to a multi-billion-dollar Greek shipping company’s sex-capades – always make the front page! But when one misdemeanor goes too far, his brother offers up a challenge - a 4-month sex ban. Vowing to see the ban through, Theo takes up residence on his superyacht sailing around the Greek islands. That is until one day, the one woman he hasn’t been able to forget – Tiffany Wainright - strides onboard as the newest member of his crew. Their connection is still as electric as ever and despite Tiffany living on the lower deck, the attraction sti pulsates between them.
When an opportunity to save a lost business deal comes up, Theo comes up with a proposal to have Tiffany pose as his fake fiancé. Only convincing her might be not as easy as he thought.
This was a quick read with some sizzling chemistry and witty banter. Their chemistry is so hot that I kept reading quickly wanting to know will they or won’t they. I liked the emotional connect Theo and Tiffany formed as they sail around the islands. It was a fun read and I also enjoyed getting an update on Ari and Kelsey from undercover billionaire.

Below Deck Billionaire by Amy Andrews is a short, steamy romance packed with heat, heart, and just the right amount of emotional depth. Set against the backdrop of luxury and high-stakes tension, this story brings together two compelling characters whose chemistry is undeniable and whose personal growth is just as satisfying as the spice.
Tiffany is a standout heroine—fierce, confident, and completely unapologetic. Her strength and independence drive the narrative, making her a character you can’t help but root for. Opposite her is Theo, a billionaire with layers of emotional complexity who undergoes a believable and heartfelt transformation as the story unfolds. Watching him peel back the image he’s maintained for years to reveal his true self adds real substance to the heat between them.
Though it’s a quick read, Below Deck Billionaire doesn’t skimp on plot or character development. Amy Andrews delivers a perfectly balanced romance that’s sultry, empowering, and thoroughly entertaining. A must-read for fans of short, sizzling love stories with strong leads and emotional payoff.

From the off this is filled with naughty language and I blooming love that! I've really been enjoying books set on boats so I really enjoyed that aspect and would have loved more of exploring the crews relationships.
It seemed like this was book 2, with the way it talked of Ari and Kelsey's relationship, and having come to the end of the book I've discovered it is in fact. They appear to be standalones with interconnected characters so its fine to have read out of order it just spoils the ending of Ari's story to read this one first.
I was really looking forward to the fake dating and forced proximity as these are some of my favourite tropes in a romance, I had to wait till halfway through to get it so I was feeling as frustrated as Theo and Tiff around that blackjack table!
I loved the simmering heat between them, and the gentle barbs being flung back and forth.
I loved the spice level, once we got there after all the teasing.
I really felt for Tiff when she explained her younger years and it was good to see her time in Balmain.
A wonderful epilogue giving me my favourite kind of romance ending!

Will Tiff help Theo?
Theo Callisthenes never thought that his weekend would make the tabloids and end the deal that his family had been working on with Dimitri Kouris for three months. But his penance was a dare to go without sex for four months and stay out of the tabloids to try and salvage the deal with Dimitri.
Tiffany Wainright had decided for a change from working on large cruise ships to working on the superyacht Nerida for two months. Tiff never expected to find out the owner was Theo Callisthenes who she had slept with at her best friend Kelsey’s wedding to Theo’s brother Ari who is trying to stay out of the tabloids. But Theo needs some help and he needs Tiff’s help to seal the deal if she will help him?
Reading Undercover Billionaire first might help to understand Tiff and Theo but you their backgrounds really help you to get into the story.

Who wouldn't fall in love with a handsome, Greek billionaire? Theo is strictly a one and done man, but for reasons he can't explain, he is seriously tempted by Tiffany when he runs into her again. Tiffany is the new second steward on his super yacht, so avoiding one another looks to be next to impossible.
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Theo and Tiffany. The added element of the dare that Theo has entered with brother Ari, means that he's sworn of sex for the next few months, this means that the tension between this pair is reaching fever pitch.
I really liked Theo and Tiffany as a couple and enjoyed this second installment, just as much as I enjoyed the romance between Theo's brother Ari and Tiffany's best friend Kelsey. I don't know if this is the last time we'll be traveliing to see this Greek Billionaires, but I really enjoyed it.

If you enjoy your books with heat and spice
You'll agree this one is more than 'nice'.
A billionaire endeavouring his reputation to save
Agrees to a four month ban that's grave!
A playboy who ends up on the front page so often
Wants his antics to be forgotten.
The latest press has lost the brothers a deal
A ban may help it again to seal.
Taking refuge on his super yacht should be the way
But maybe fate has a different hand to play?
For the latest crew member he's shocked to discover
Is the woman he can't forget about - even for his brother!
In close proximity their mutual attraction grows.
They try to ignore it but still it shows.
With the electricity between them what should they do?
Can he maintain his ban and resist her too?
What a fun read, with temptations galore
And hot chemistry between them, neither can ignore.
Family dramas present and past
Add to the angst, can they make it a last?
For my copy of this book I say thank you
