This is the fantastic first book in a new series by an author that is new to me and I can safely say that if this book is any indication of how good her writing is, I’ll definitely be reading more of her work.
This book is a 5 star read for me, I absolutely loved it. With much of it set among the glamour of Monaco and with lots of hot and steamy sex, this book will take you on an amazing journey.
Morgan de Rohan-Chabot is a yacht designer playboy used to having women falling at his feet. Has he met his match when he hires PR queen Vandana Hillman whose marriage has just ended and she’s a little fragile but still feisty as ever.
I loved reading Morgan and Vandana’s story, As well as the scorching romance, there is a great, intriguing storyline set in the world of yacht designing that is full of drama and is very entertaining and kept me gripped. I really did not want to put this book down at night, but unfortunately real life gets in the way.
100% recommend this book and can’t wait to read more in this series.

This was such a quick, steamy read which hooked me from the first page! The storyline was great and I could feel the chemistry between the two main characters popping off the page.
This billionaire playboy romance is set in Monaco. Vandana is hired to help a potential client with PR problems. Their attraction is intense and feelings quickly develop between the two.
I really enjoyed this story and while there were a few cliche moments I thought this was a great read. There were a few hiccups for the main characters on their way to a HEA, but ultimately these two got there.
Rating: 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This author is something else! Honestly, I just fell in love with the cover of this novel and swooped in to read it as soon as it became available. I thoroughly enjoyed the world building, along with the travel incorporated into the story line, as I found myself googling the destinations visited and have begun a travel bucket list, thanks to the details and intrigue within these pages. Independence is a glorious thing. If you can own it and allow it to better your life rather than take things away that could make it even better.
Enter our two main characters, Vandana and Morgan. Both are successful, alpha characters, and have lived their lives how they see fit, and don’t want to change for anyone or anything. Little do they know; life is about to get crazy and their popularity will surely skyrocket. I admired the way the writing lifted these two off the pages and had me blushing and wiggling along with some of the steamy scenes, that’s for sure! The question is, will they enjoy the company of each other more than their established go-to lifestyles? Read this charmer and enjoy. I will certainly be reading more and more by this author, including the rest of this series! Can’t wait to hear more about Van’s besties, potential hotties, and their stories. Highly recommend!

So, how much is a trip to Monaco? After this book, I MUST go! The MANGO’S seem like they are to die for!
Sexy, drama filled, and filled with sinful delight! Vandana definitely took on more then she thought. After needing a getaway to cope with life, she stepped into the unknown. Being a successful CEO of a PR firm, she may need to enlist in one for herself. Secrets have a way of coming out from those you lease expect.
Morgan can bring out the wild in people. Born on the open waters and growing to sail them when he wants turns out as an advantage. Is Monaco’s Most eligible bachelor able to turn things around? Or will business get in the way.
Rowan Rossler has a talent for setting the mood! This book is for mature readers as it’s very sexually stimulating. And ladies, Morgan is to DIE for! Rowan was able to articulate in a way that I was able to see everything as if I were watching a movie play out in front of my own eyes. I would recommend this to my fellow readers looking for an escape from the real world for a little while!

I loved this book with a passion. To say it was freaking dark good would seriously be an understatement! I was swept away truly in the author's writing, the characters, and the story! I was truly indulged!
Vandana and Morgan really brought a lot to the table I found. Likeable characters in different ways, but at the same time, they had their differences and you could detect what you liked and not so much liked about them. Their chemistry was seriously off the charts. And their chemistry alone truly contributed to making this book an addictive read for me. The time they were put together for, who knew what would happen. I was on my seat's edge with a strong anticipation and wanting more. The build was perfect, really enjoyed how the author did the story and the build up! Kept you in anticipation! Loved this book!
Seriously, this is by far a must read! The author knew exactly what they were doing with keeping the reader interested, and involved in the story! Highly recommend this must read book! Loved it!

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed and look forward to seeing what is next for this author. I found this book to be a well written story about a playboy and the Queen of Luxury. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. The characters are connectable and brought the steam to this romance story. Vandana and Morgan are great, strong characters that are my favorite of the story. Their chemistry and growth throughout the story made me come back for more. Ten days together, what could go wrong, right? These two are about to find out. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and hard to put down. It is a great pickup for sure. I highly recommend this story.
April 19, 2022
I devoured this book in one sitting. Vandana's (what a beautiful name) life just blew about the time she was advised by her business partner that she was meeting with a hot shot yacht designer. Morgan, is a playboy, that's his reputation. Everywhere he goes he has women hanging all over him. Vandana goes to Monaco to handle all of this PR concern, hoping for it to be a distraction from her own personal life. There were so many things I enjoyed about this book, the scenes from Italy and Monaco were written very well, Vandana's friends I wanted more of, the steam between Morgan and Vandana! I will never look at mango the same way again! Highly suggest.
April 19, 2022
I would give this more than 5 stars if I could! From the first word to the very last it is a very well written story with a totally captivating, thoughtfully plotted storyline and amazing characters. This author has such a wonderful descriptive writing style that you are not only so cleverly drawn into the characters lives but also their beautiful surroundings, so much so that you really feel as if you are there right along with them. I definitely am now a huge fan and can't wait to read more from this fabulous author.

I was gifted a copy of this as part of an instagram book tour with LoveBooksTours in exchange for an honest review
I was gripped by this book right from the start and I finished it in one day - I even took it to the toilet with me - and I'm not sorry.
It was well written with a dual narrative, a compelling storyline and a setting that oozed opulence and luxury and it made me want to visit Italy and Monoco, and live like a millionaire but that's a different story.
I love romances that have a bit of 🔥 and this was so steamy I felt like I was sat in a sauna in the Caribbean.
I loved this book and I cant wait for the next installment

When this started, I wasn't too sure I was going to love it, but within the first couple of chapters, I was completely engrossed. I couldn't put the book down all day, devouring it across the space of a day!
I loved the switch between Vandana and Morgan's viewpoints from chapter to chapter; it's refreshing to see both sides.
The setting is opulent to the max but written so beautifully; you can picture the scenes in Italy and Monaco clearly.
I really liked the scenes with Vandana and her friends; they seemed like a really interesting bunch, and I'm excited to get to know Flynn better in book 2!
It was a fun book with plenty of steamy moments that were done really well, though I may never look at a mango in the same way!!
Well written, good storyline, great characters. I'm excited to see where this series takes us!

Can the PR guru tame the wild lifestyle of the Playboy?
This is my voluntary review of an ARC of the book
Vandana is the PR guru the woman you call in when celebrities do something wrong, a scandal is about to come out or your reputation is going down the shooter! She tries to make you look sweet as candy and you hope the stink wears off 😬
Morgan is an entitled playboy who has the life of luxury living on yachts.
Let’s just say he is Uber trouble and cannot take direction, she is a hard task master and likes perfection and things running smoothly. Somehow this is not going to run smooth and you can imagine the bumps and explosions along the way.
I will not spoil it for you but there is steam, fun and quick wit.

I enjoyed this story. Vandana was good at her job, lost at her marriage, and found a connection with Morgan. Their attraction was strong and fast, but doubts kept them apart along with some manipulation on Morgan's behalf. My heartstrings were tugged as these two realized their true feelings for each other. I also like the secondary characters, especially in Vandana's corner. I look forward to more in this series.

This was quite the fun read making for an enjoyable afternoon for me. We meet Vandana who has just learned that her husband wants a divorce and he swings the other way now. This is a lot to deal with so she pretty much jumps at the chance to do some PR work for billionaire Morgan. Add in foreign locales and a gorgeous yacht to seal the deal. This two have instant sparks but their own hidden secrets. It was enjoyable to follow along as they found their HEA after quite a few bumps in the road. A good choice for fans of billionaire romance. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

Vandana runs a luxury PR business. Just before her business partner goes on a month-long vacation, he springs a new potential client on her.
Vandana is very good at what she does, her personal life on the other hand is in ruins, so she is excited to run from it, for a little while. However, being in close proximity to Morgan is dangerous.
He is a yacht designer, a millionaire, with a bad rep. He has a chip on his shoulder and is a notorious playboy.
Anytime they are together, she struggles to keep it professional, it doesn't help that there is this spark between them. He asks her to fly to Monaco, he has a new potential client and is desperate to clean up his image.
Falling in love was not a part of the deal, but with so many sparks between them is inevitable.
It's a fast pace, steamy story, set in a very luxurious world, that I love to read about. :)
While I liked the story, Morgan was a bit harder to like.
Thank you Xpresso Book Tours for the ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you want a steamy book that has intrigue, deception, self evaluation, and introspection, this is a great book to devour!
Vandana is the type of woman that every woman dreams of being: strong, independent, gorgeous, successful, powerful. Morgan is the type of man that every woman hopes they can attract: wealthy, passionate, successful, loyal, determined. Together, they have the potential to be a powerful, explosive, dynamite duo.
I love the passion in every aspect of this book. From the explosive steamy intimate moments, to the passion they bring to their careers, these are two characters that will leave you breathless and anticipating more.
Thank you to the author and Love Books Tours for a copy of this amazing book! I will definitely be reading more by this author!

Vandana's life has just fallen apart. So when her boss sends her to Monaco to help a potential client out with his own PR problems, she's all in. She didn't expect to fall for the notorious player, Morgan, nor did she expect her life to change so drastically in such a short period of time.
Morgan is entranced with his beautiful new PR agent. He's keeping something from her, though, and just knows it could all fall apart if it comes out. So he'll keep it to himself and hope their instant attraction and quickly developed feelings are enough to keep them together when the inevitable blowup happens.
Though fairly short in length, Cruiser packed a lot of story into few pages. The chemistry is sizzling, the pace is fast, and the setting combined to make an entertaining story. I loved both Vandana and Morgan, especially Vandana. She's strong, smart and more than capable even when her life falls apart, twice. Morgan was a typical reformed player by love, and in the end I was rooting for him to get the happiness he so desperately wanted with his Vandana.

Swept along in a wave of sensuality
Fair warning… This is a dirty-hot Xtra romantic novel. It has everything you might expect… A failed marriage between a successful, attractive PR woman and her actor husband, and a handsome male protagonist who is rich, charming and also a talented yacht designer in Monaco with a Playboy past. Add in Travel, fine Food and Wine, Luxury and Intrigue. All set around lots of extra steamy sexy scenes. It will have you gripping the sheets and coming up for air, as you are swept away in a hot wave of sensuality.
Rowan Rossler has a way with words in descriptions of each scene that bring you right along. Locales are LA, Italy and France, rich with local references. The dialogue is smooth and never seems phoney. I am really looking forward to books two and three.

Rowan Rossler, ‘The Cruiser’.
The Hustler Trilogy, Book 1.
As an Hidden Gems ARC reader I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily wrote an honest review. Here it is.
Rating: 5 (of 5 stars).
In general: Love between two strong characters.
Main characters:
- Vandana Hillman (33).
She’s the co-owner of a luxury PR company in Beverly Hills. Her husband, Derek, is a movie star. After a client launch party she visited with her husband, he informs her that he has a love affair with a boyfriend from the film set where he recently worked for four months. It’s the end of her marriage.
- Morgan de Rohan-Chabot (34).
A talented, wealthy yacht designer in Monaco, who wants to hire Vandana’s company for his PR. He’s also an infamous playboy.
Vandana meets Morgan when he’s in Santa Monica to ask her if she wants to join him in France for a week to help him promote his yachts during several yacht shows in Monaco and Genoa. Partly to escape her domestic problems she agrees and flies to Monaco.
Then the author, Rowan Rossler, describes how Vandana during her job in France and Italy gradually falls in love with the gorgeous yacht builder. The author creates a great, well written stort: two credible characters hesitating to start - again - a permanent relationship, suspenceful manipulations of competing yacht builders and some hot love scenes in the scenic countrysides of the mediterranean coast or on board of a spectacular yacht. For me a pleasure to read.

I absolutely adored this book, from the very first page I was hooked, and I couldn't put it down.
It was a cute, quick, and steamy read, set in Monaco and Italy involving yachts. The main characters had great chemistry, and I loved the different POVs in the book. I loved the dynamic between Vandana and Morgan, the way the business and the sightseeing are incorporated into the storyline, as really anything set in Italy and France has me wishing I could live there.
The pacing of the story was really good, the writing superb and the main characters had interesting backstories that I would have loved to get more of; the plot flowed naturally (a little rushed but didn't take away any of the enjoyment) and the spice scenes were a great complement to the development of the relationship.
I honestly didn't give it 5 stars because I felt that it could have been a longer novel where we got to see a lot more of their developing relationship .
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and I want to thank NetGalley, Free Form Productions Inc, and the author for providing me with this eARC.

This was okay although I struggled a little at the beginning of the book because it felt messy and I didn't like storyline but it thankfully changed and I enjoyed the rest of the book.
Will I continue the rest of the series? Probably not because it didnt grab my attention but we'll see.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

I am voluntarily leaving a review after receiving an ARC from Hidden Gems.
It was good. Vandana was a expert PR specialist. She was hired by Morgan's company to help revamp his playboy image. Morgan was a yacht designer that was up for a big job for Prince Khaled and his two sons. As Vandana helps Morgan their chemistry explodes and they cannot resist each other. Vandana has just separated from her husband . Olivier who works with Morgan as a yacht broker, has other plans and doesn't want Morgan to succeed.
I like Vandana anf Morgan. They both are looking for something in their lifes that leaves them satisfied. It is a fun easy read with little spice to it.

Thank you rockstar book tours for the chance to read and review The Cruiser by Rowan Rossler.
The cruiser isn’t my usual thing, but it was a decent read. I think the author and I differ a lot with what we think is sexy (I’m not going to be causing mango sales to rise anytime soon). For example, the scene where Morgan gets horny on the phone while talking to Vandana was more creepy to me than anything else!
That being said i was a chill read for a Thursday when you don’t want to do anything else. I love that Vandana is so good at what she does; her job isn’t a token thing, it’s serious business.

PHENOMENAL book….the characters were sizzling off the pages, the chemistry between them was so hot! First read by Rowan Rossler, but it definitely will not be my last! Steamy, hot, romance that I could not put down until the last page was turned! I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
PR guru for the swanky, rich, LA crowd, Vandanna had it all. Successful business, movie star husband, great house and amazing friends….Until one day her husband dropped a bomb that shattered her world. Vandanna didn’t think she would ever be the same….that is until she met Morgan, the sexy, captivating, Moroccan billionaire whose playboy ways was a PR nightmare. Vandanna was looking forward to the distraction in working with Morgan; far, far away from LA and her soon to be ex-husband, however she definitely got more than she bargained for during her ten days in the Mediterranean.

This is one of those novels that you pick up and can't put down until you've finished it and the sun is starting to rise.
Immediately drawn in by Vandana, who is a successful business woman running her own PR firm. From the outside looking in, her life is perfect, until her husband drops a bomb of a secret on her life. She is then offered a client who requires her to travel to Monaco to ensure his reputation is cleaned up in an effort to secure an important contract.
Morgan is a successful yacht designer with a reputation for being a womanizer. He needs to keep himself in line to secure a very important contract, so he hires the best PR firm in the business.
Soon the sparks start to fly and you are drawn into the will they, won't they of it all. It would be bad for both of them but can they keep their relationship professional?

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own. When I tell you I was so excited to find this book, I'm not sure you know just how much my level of excitement was. I love stories that take place on yachts. I love romances on the sea. I love maritime related novels. And the twist on this one with a yacht designer definitely had me intrigued. I really enjoyed this story overall. My only big issue is one of the story lines woven throughout the book that began in the first chapter. I could have done without it and honestly it was kind of annoying to me. I felt like the book could have done without. That's one of the main reasons for the 4 star rating. But I really did enjoy this and I can't wait to read the rest of the trilogy. Now excuse me while I go try to find my own Morgan...

Wow! This read jumps right in with no hesitation and in a good way! Vandana is amazing in so many ways. She definitely knows how to hold her own and then some. She fits right in where the story takes her. And Morgan, oh captivating Morgan. He is one smooth character so amazingly written. The descriptions of all the places make me want to hop on a plane! Without giving away too much there are some crazy plot twist and that's all I can say about them! This steamy romance was definitely worth the read!
