Blurb
Dawson Hoshaw lives by one motto—work hard, play harder. As the owner of Blue Lotus, a tattoo and piercing shop, he’s got the first part covered. The second part, he accomplishes through meaningless hookups and no-strings-attached encounters. It’s safer this way, with no risk of getting his heart broken again. But when his best friend, Peyton, enters him in a contest—and wins—Dawson finds himself the recipient of an all-expenses paid singles cruise around Australia, courtesy of Valentine’s Inc.
As long as he can remember, Stephen Kincaid has known it’s his duty to take over his family’s chain of men’s clothing stores. The closer his father grows to retirement, the more responsibility Steven assumes. Running multiple businesses and living up to expectations doesn’t leave him with much time for dating, and he can’t remember the last time he took a vacation. So when he wins a contest he didn’t even enter, he can’t pass up the opportunity to see Australia before returning to his humdrum life.
When a mix-up forces Dawson and Steven to share a cabin, their dream vacation turns into a nightmare. It wouldn’t be so bad if they could escape each other during the day, but it’s hard not to run into one another. And the more time they spend together, the more they find they don’t want to stay away. After a night of passion, Stephen and Dawson can’t help giving in to the growing feelings between them. But how can they make this vacation fling work once they go back to the real world?
Battle Ship is a Valentine’s Inc. novella, but you will see familiar faces with this Forever in Middlebury Crossover. It can be read as a standalone and is intended for adults 18 and over.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
As an avid fan of Brittany Cournoyer, I was definitely curious what she would do with a fluffy type romance. Rest assured, she did great! Battle Ship, her contribution to the multi author series, Valentine's Inc Cruises, is fabulous.
Steven's the typical closeted man who's in denial about his true feelings. He's a structured man who doesn't take risks and doesn't know how to let go. Ever. Dawson meanwhile, wants Steven to let loose and enjoy his time on the cruise.

Poor Steven's been questioning his sexuality recently. If that wasn't bad enough, he ends up on a cruise with the man that is making him question everything, Dawson. They had only met once, but Steven took an instant dislike to the man who flustered him, and tried to keep his distance.

This is a delicious enemies to lovers romance. It's a slow burn, as they slowly, very slowly, go from enemies to lovers. Yet, considering they fall in love during a cruise, it's also insta-loveish. And, the first time the met, the sparks flew, literally.
Overall, Steven and Dawson's love story is downright sweet and tender. The writing is great, and fluffy, unlike most of the author's books. Battle Ship is just a feel-good, sappy romance. Sit back and enjoy!
