Caribbean Crush

By: R.S. Grey

Narrated by: Jeremy York, Luci Christian

Set sail with USA Today bestselling author R.S. Grey in this sizzling romance between old rivals who reunite on a cruise ship, only to discover that they want much more than just another competition.

Casey Hughes is a struggling travel journalist desperate for a big break when she lands the assignment of a lifetime: hop on board Aurelia for its maiden voyage through paradise. While she’ll bask in the luxury cruise ship’s fine dining and complimentary spa treatments, her real mission is to snag an exclusive interview with Phillip Woodmont.

Casey and the elusive shipping heir have history. Once, they were nothing short of brutal enemies. Though the former brace-faced teen is now a suited-up CEO with devastating good looks, he makes it clear to Casey that he has no interest in forgetting their past.

The volatile grudge between them is as explosive as ever. More than once Casey is tempted to toss Phillip overboard, but for her work, she’ll have to swallow her pride. If it’s an apology he’s after, she’ll serve it up on a silver platter. If he wants her to walk the plank, she’ll salute with an aye, aye, Captain.

Casey can’t let him provoke her. She needs this interview. So if Phillip wants to play dirty, Casey will just have to play dirtier.

Critic reviews

“A fully entertaining Rom-Com of a novel and the stuff of which Hallmark Movies are made. An original and deliciously funny read from start to finish…”—Midwest Book Review

Fun listen

Liked the story. I wish I had read it though as the male narrator was not my favorite.

Pretty good

Deeper story than typical, and better 2nd chance scenario than typical, too. After it was done, I went looking for more from this author. Note, once it starts, it does get pretty steamy.

Cute fun read/listen

Easy listen and perfect for a free kindle unlimited pick. Very steamy at times, but not overdone. The narrators could have been better, but not bad.
Definitely not worth a credit, but fun for a quick listen.

Performance by female narrator!

I have got a crush on this story & its characters. I Loved listening to this audiobook. The author never disappoints. And I always enjoy listening to audio performances by this narrator.

Great beach read

This is a perfect beach read! I loved the details of the cruise ship setting and vacation adventures. I really felt I was on the cruise ship with them experiencing the luxurious things and the port of calls. The chemistry between Casey and Phillips was amazing. I loved the drama, the tension, and the spice sprinkled into this book.

The audiobook was narrated by Jeremy York and Luci Christian. These two brought the tension, emotions into their voices while telling this story. It was a great fun, beach read! Great beach

Tropical romance

I love that the spice was on point for this book as well as the humor.

Terrible performance

The story is fine nothing special but decent enough. The performance is awful! The narrator swallows loudly and frequently throughout the story. It's very distracting and fairly gross. This is a read only book, don't bother with the audio.

great book

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

DNF

Ugh. The immaturity of the MCs was just too much for me to take. I should have quit when I discovered what the “grudge” was from their past. Especially coming from a supposed brilliant businessman.
I also don’t love hate flocking so…
This could have been a good story if the MCs had behaved like adults.

Not my cup of tea

Poor writing. Very colloquial language. No depth to characters. Perhaps this is modern writing style?
