Book Review-Love on Board by Aries Skye
About the book
When a guarded divorcée and a love-weary mogul cross paths on a singles cruise, a pact to keep things platonic sets sail toward a second chance neither of them is ready for.
Aquila Richards-Oliver has the life many envy: a high-profile husband, two beautiful sons, and a seemingly perfect role as wife, mother, and big sister. But perfection comes at a steep price. When her marriage to a world-renowned chef unravels under the weight of betrayal and long-buried truths, Aquila chooses herself—for the first time in years—and begins the hard work of rebuilding her life on her own terms.
Roman Patterson has built everything but a family. At thirty-five, the successful entrepreneur has more wealth than time and more regrets than romance. Convinced love has passed him by, he reluctantly agrees to a singles cruise, expecting nothing more than cocktails and casual distractions.
What neither Roman nor Aquila expects is to find each other—on a boat in the middle of paradise.
Review
Love on Board is the story of Aquila Richardson, the third of the Richardson sisters, and I was genuinely thrilled to dive into her journey. After reading Aries Skye's Love on the Ninth Floor, I've become a big fan of her storytelling. She blends sensual, steamy romance with just the right amount of drama to keep you hooked.
The book kicks off with a bang that had me rereading the opening just to make sure I caught it all. We meet Aquila in a loveless marriage, and Roman, a playboy who’s been a mutual friend due to his part-ownership in her brother-in-law’s gym. They never crossed any lines because Aquila was married and Roman respected that boundary. Plus, Aquilla never knew that Roman felt that way about her, even though everyone else in their circle could tell.
After Aquila’s marriage ends and Roman has his own share of failed romances, they both get talked into going on a singles cruise. They didn’t expect to run into each other, but they do—and the rest is history. There are plenty of bumps along the way, and I was rooting for them the entire time. The ending definitely left me in my feelings, but in the best way possible—especially with the little bonus that Aries Skye included.
Love on Board will be available nationwide wherever books are sold on January 26th. I received an advance copy via NetGalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, and I can wholeheartedly say it gets my stamp of approval. Happy reading!
