The Boss in Cabin 18

Astor Alphas #3

by Clara King

When I win tickets for a luxury Caribbean cruise and find myself staying in a cabin next to Tommy Astor, I can't believe my luck. Tommy is the sexy billionaire owner of Astor Cruises, and it looks like my curves have caught his eye. The only problem? I may have told him that I'm a billionaire heiress. In reality, I'm broke and spend my days working on my family's tiny little farm out in the sticks. Now I'm caught deep in a lie. Will Tommy still want me when he learns the truth about who I am? Or will our romance be nothing more than a vacation fling?

Alex is from a small town in Arkansas. She wins a Caribbean cruise and is excited when she arrives, the last person she expected to run into was the owner, Tommy Astor.

Tommy has grown up over the last couple of years, realizing his friends were only his friends to have fun and party, now Tommy wants more. When he meets Alex during arrivals, he realizes there is something different about her.

Alex is usually comfortable with who she is, but when one of Tommy's "friends" started to judge her, she began to lie about who she was.

Alex and Tommy have an electric connection, Tommy is hurt that she could not be honest who she was, but he was not going to let her get away. Love Tommy's determination to make Alex his and prove his love. Great story perfect for an escape.

I loved Book 3 of Astor Alphas. Now I have to read the first two. Alex can’t believe her luck when she wins a cruise on the ultra swanky Astor Cruise Ship. Then meeting Tommy Astor is the icing on the cake until a little white lie can ruin it all. What will Alex do when when Tommy finds out the truth? She knows a farm girl from Arkansas and a billionaire can’t be together so it’s time to go home. Will Tommy let her go? A great storyline and lovable characters. I would definitely recommend this book and I’m looking forward to reading the first two.

When Alex wins a cruise trip, she is placed in the cabin next to Tommy Astor. He is enthralled with Alex right from the beginning but when one of his friend's obnoxious behaviors erupts Alex finds herself weaving a tale about her family that isn't true. It upsets her and when she tries to come clean something always come up until she is finally faced with the truth in his presence. Will this be the end to what was developing into something special between them?

Alex lives in a small town in Arkansas working on her family's farm. When she gets a call saying that she won a cruise trip. She thought it was a joke at first until she remembers entering the contest. Once she arrives at the ship a sexy stranger helps her get into her cabin. Tommy is the guy that helped Alex and he is drawn to her instantly. Tommy is one of the owners of the company, so he is always on the ship managing that part of the business. Sparks fly between them, and Tommy isn't going to let Alex get away. However, when a rich friend of his finds them together he starts asking questions and this has Alex making things up because he made her feel bad. Things start to heat up between her and Tommy. Will he end things when he learns she lied about her background? Can they find a way to be together?

This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

Tommy and Alexandra . . .

Alex wins a trip to cruise the Caribbean on a fancy Astor Cruise ship. She’s a farm girl, so this luxury is an exciting event! She ends up in a cabin near the wealthy Tommy Astor and tells him she is a billionaire named Alexandra. When they get close, will he still want her when he finds out she lied to him?

Tommy is focused on the fact that this young woman seems to want him for himself and not his money. So he is determined to win her heart. But will he find out her secret? Will it be enough to break them apart?

I'll be her first and her only, I think. She's mine now.

I enjoyed reading about Alex & Tommy's tale. This book is a steamy, erotic summer romance between a alpha male billionaire & shy but strong virgin heroine. Can Tommy convince Alex to give them a chance or has their chance at a HEA sailed away after she admits who she really is?
Looking forward to reading more.

Cute
3.5
It's a good romance, a little predictable, but tender, short and well written.
However, I found it a bit surprising that we didn't have any information on Tommy's family, and not the reaction of Alex's family after they met, when they were completely in Tommy's life.

Win an all expense paid cruise to the Caribbean. Check. Arrival time check. Meet someone who’s very familiar with the surroundings? Check. Make sure he is not the owner of the company? No check. He is. Making a mistake and I am up to it? Check.check.check. Cliffhanger ? Nope. Good read.

This was good ending to the Astor Alphas series. I liked Alex and Tommy together, both were from two different worlds, but Tommy wasn’t anything like his snobby friend, Fergus.
Alex was just a sweet farm girl who not only won a cruise vacation, but also won the heart of its billionaire owner, Tommy.
This was a fast paced, insta love romance with a nice story plot and an incredible setting!

[Christina Bowling · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very fun, light story. I absolutely loved Alex and Tommy together and really enjoyed reading about them. Their HEA was super cute as well.
