Not Since You

Not Since You is a very enjoyable, albeit predictable, romance story between two lovers who were separated years before and are brought together on a cruise ship, one as a passenger who was scorned by her fiance before their wedding (Charlotte) and the other as a worker on the ship (Lexi). The chemistry the two had years before is ignited again almost instantaneously. The journey to them getting together again is a quick one, resulting in lots of hot sex scenes which were very fun to read.

I typically enjoy Fiona Riley's novels a lot, but this one seemed like it was missing something. The path to the lovers getting back together seemed too easy. While there was some mild angst when Lexi has issues at work, they were not enough to make me think that the couple couldn't be together again. I think this lack of separation for the couple and a feeling that their relationship might not continue is what I was looking for but never received.

Overall it was an enjoyable read, but was missing that punch that I typically see in romance novels that I really enjoy.

I was provided an ARC of this novel by NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
