About this listen

Love hurts, but I like the pain

Maverick

The second I board the Bruise Cruise, I’m ready to indulge—top-shelf liquor, five-star meals, and maybe a little pain to round out the night.

What I don’t expect? Falling for the one woman guaranteed to ruin everything.

A federal agent.

She’s here to sink us, and I’m stuck sharing a suite—and a bed—with the enemy.

Frankie

Get in. Take down Jim and his crew. Get out. That’s the mission.

But nothing about the Bruise Cruise goes according to plan.

Especially not Maverick—handsome, odd, aggravating . . . and weirdly charming.

Which is a problem.

And then he tells me his secrets, leaving me with two options: jump ship or go down with him.

Ship Happens is book three in the dark romantic comedy series rocking the TikTok charts—and this time, all aboard means no one is safe. Expect savage banter, killer humor, and a romance that’s anything but smooth sailing.

If you’ve read the first two books you know exactly what you’re in for. I think it was actually less queasy, but the laughs and ridiculous jokes were so on point! Ahhhh Gary.

I loved the reverse age gap.
The cop vs k!ller dynamic
The challenges they were both set made it all fun.
There’s also found family and one bed 👀.

As always with Lauren Biel, check the TW but it is a part of her diet series so pretty light as these things go.

I had a blast. As always the audio was brilliant!
I was so excited to get the vibe that there will be a book 4!!!

I laughed so hard, but oh boy did I question myself too 😂
