Billionaire Adam is still grieving over the loss of his wife after two years, that his friends mounted an intervention: a Mediterranean cruise with his daughter and nanny and his friends. But he fled his home more than a decade ago and never wanted to be back... // Zoe was burned out at her job as a school teacher. When her husband also cheated, she got divorced and started a new career as a makeup artist, after graduating from cosmetology school. And her new job is being the makeup artist for the performers on a cruise liner. // When Adam met Zoe, the chemistry was instant, and both are shocked by how much. But Adam's ex appeared, intending to hook him now that he's "back", that Adam asked Zoe for the unthinkable: be fake-engaged to him to throw off his ex...
Eh... the plot is a trope, and "meeting the family" shock was meh. The ex is cliche all the way. 3/5

GRR Reviews Bayside Wishes by Stacy Claflin
Freya is a fashion model making a great living in NYC, but she does go home to Enchantment Bay every year. And this year, she ran into Nico, a local police sergeant, hot on a case of a murdered cop. And they develope a friendship that could lead to more. But Freya's modeling career has her hiding her eating disorder from everyone, including herself, and Nico's crazy ex showed up in town, insisting she won't leave without him (he left the big city to get away from her!) Will the two ever get together?
WTF, is this a real cop? Nico was so easily emotionally blackmailed. When his evil ex showed up at a party uninvited and started destroying Freya's family treasures to make a scene (an heirloom mirror, a famous painting...) Nico, as a cop, should have arrested her, call in the patrolman and have her escorted to jail, where she'll sit and stew for a few days. Instead, he agrees to leave with her to a hotel, while apologizes profusely for her actions. This is not a cop. This is a WIMP! Other parts of the books are okay, but this major flaw sank it for me. 2/5
