This book gave me some Titanic feels good ones though especially with the way Wes and Lila call each other Jack and Rose. Very emotional as well.

I love the relationship between Wes and Lila even though she is a stow away on his yacht. And oh Miss Chef we can’t forget her antics with lingerie.

The use is dicks is hilarious as well. The way one become the king/queen of dicks in the end was the best and had me laughing so much.

Rom Com
Runaway bride
Strangers to lovers
Cheating (1st page) not FMC
Over use of the word dicks (🤣🤣)
Treasure Hunting
Stranger to lovers to thought passed to lovers again

You had me at a klepto penguin!!
This is genuinely such a fun and easy read. I got very nostalgic with The Princess Bride references.
It has so many laugh out loud moments and the banter is perfect but I love that underneath it all is some very serious and hard moments that aren't lost in the banter and laughter.
Miss Chief is fabulous! The Dread Pirate Wesley was kind, charming, cheeky and sexy! Added bonus he cooks and cleans, what more could you ask for. Lila was feisty, determined and even though she was a little lost, she found her footing and became stronger.

If you love rom coms but wish they had a bit of a twist and a little more spice than this is the book for you! It's so much fun

This was such a good read with lots of banter and funny parts throughout.
The antics and incidents with the FMC Lila had me giggling let alone the what happens with the tuxedo thief!!
This was such a refreshing read with Brooklyn's typical easy flow writing style, laugh out loud moments and awww sweetness as well.
Did I remember to count how many times the word 'dick' was throughout the book, No lol. I got too involved in the story and completely forgot.
Fav quote "I am and always have been- The Dicking Queen"
I loved the author's notes as Brooklyn always writes them like she is talking directly to you.

2.5⭐️
This story was fun and full of potential, what let it down for me was the rushed feeling I got from the storytelling. While I’m not a fan of drawn out plots this story veered in the opposite direction with everything happening so quickly, I would have loved this book more if the storyline was expanded and those little in between moments were included. This is still a fun read thanks to Miss Chief the penguin but I just needed more depth to the story to give it a higher rating.
Thank you to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for review

I was lucky enough to read an Advanced Copy of 'Ship Tease' and I can honestly say I've been thinking about this book and giggling to myself since I read it. Hands down one of my most favourite reads this year!

Wonderful read. Lots of laughs and fan yourself moments. Love the Titanic hints with the cute nicknames. Brooklyn is an auto read author for me Loved that it is set in around Western Australia!
