Blurb
A happy ever after is not in the cards for me. But a short fling aboard a ship crossing the Atlantic might just be exactly what I need.
When my friends suggest I take a much-needed vacation on their Valentine’s Inc. hosted cruise, I leap at the chance. I don’t have a lot of expectations for this matchmaking singles cruise—I’m certainly not looking for a future Mr. Chase Kelton.
What I’m not prepared for is walking into my assigned suite to find a man passed out on the first day. I recognized the shy barista immediately. He’s been serving me my morning fix for a year and driving me crazy with the hard shell he keeps locked around him. I want to break it. I know there’s an entirely different man beneath it that I’m itching to reveal.
Reign is the proverbial fish out of water, and when I learn the real reason he’s on this cruise, I see an opportunity I can’t resist. He needs a companion to show him the ropes—I can do that and so much more.
An introverted barista with a crush, a wealthy executive afraid to fall in love, and a twist on fake boyfriends. Shipping Orders is a full length, standalone novel in the Valentine’s Inc. multi-author series.

Review
My Rating - 4.5 Stars!
Ashe Winters' contribution to the Valentine's Inc Cruises, Shipping Orders, is wonderful. If you enjoy cruise ship romances, you don't want to miss this one.
Reign and Chase have long crushed on one another, as Chase always stops by Reign's coffee shop. Now they find themselves on the same cruise, and can't help up to get to know one another. Their time together is emotional, with a strong connection, some hot sex, but a limited time frame.
As for their sexual connection, it is spicy and steamy, as Reign likes to be restrained, and Chase is all for it. This definitely makes for some fun scenes.
I love this book. All of it. The bond formed between the two men is beautiful, yet also devastating in it's finality. With a mystery of why Chase has to end things after the cruise, the reader is left broken hearted along with both men.
One of my favorite things is the reasoning behind Chase calling Reign "puppy." It is seriously a great reason, and left me smiling every time he said it.
Their story includes some childhood trauma, a demanding family, and some great friends. The writing is fun, keeping the reader fully engaged throughout. The characters are interesting and both have good backstories.
Overall, Shipping Orders is a great contribution to this multiple author series. Ashe Winters does a superb job with this cruise ship romance.
