Seas and Greetings

By Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone
Seas and Greetings by Julie Murphy & Sierra Simone digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone—a steamy Christmas in July rom-com set on a cruise ship where a Twilight inspired musical is being produced...

The Rules:

  • No roaming off alone.
  • No secrets.
  • No bodyguard/client fraternization. 
  • No olives.

This is Krysta Morton’s last job. She’s done with being a bodyguard and is ready for a real nine to five where work stays at work. But when Addison Hayes’s manager offers Krysta a ridiculous amount of money to keep the high-maintenance singer-turned-influencer safe on a cruise, Krysta can’t make herself say no. Not when the money means that she’ll be able to set her grandma up at the nicest senior living community in town. (It has a brand new pickleball court and a juice bar!)

Addison Hayes is on top of her game. After a long and healthy career as a B-list celebrity, she’s successfully made the transition to lifestyle brands and her dream of expanding her empire into hotels and cruises is within reach. With her first Cruise with Addison about to disembark, she’s in dire need of hired security while she curates the passenger experience and oversees the debut run of The Lion and the Lamb, her first attempt at producing a musical and her ode to all things Twilight.

With Krysta’s no-nonsense attitude, Addison is certain her newly hired bodyguard loathes her. Then a steamy shore excursion reveals that Krysta’s icy shell is hiding her simmering attraction to Addison, and if Krysta isn’t careful, she might start breaking her own rules. But when Addison starts receiving mysterious, threatening notes and cast members start dropping like food poisoned flies, this seven day cruise isn’t turning out to be smooth sailing after all.

“For once, I didn't have any audiobooks available on Libby, so I jumped over to Hoopla to see what was available, and I was thrilled to see that I could catch up on the Christmas Notch series by reading the next summer novella, because Hoopla had it! (As I wanted to make sure I can get my hands on book #3, A Jingle Bell Mingle as soon as December hits, I hoped Hoopla would have that one available too, but alas, as of now, I did not find it, so I had to put it on hold on Libby.) While the Christmas Notch main books are very good, the novellas don't really live up to those expectations. However, because this was my second novella in the series, my expectations were pre-lowered enough that I could enjoy this one for the mid-year snack it is. My main criticism is that the this-is-forbidden to the very-together parts happen way too quickly without enough time for me, as the reader, to even get there with the characters. On top of that, the stakes were pretty low, despite the fact that the book's conflict involves a literal crime. However, at least main character Addison doesn't get too dramatic about the issue she is facing and legitimately is able to process it at an appropriate level, so it wasn't too annoying. It took me a minute to remember who some of the known characters were, but I really liked the continuity of focusing on the bodyguard from the end of the second book. I enjoyed this well enough.”
