This is my first Kate Stacy book and it was a really cute, fun read. The characters are believable and the plot is well written and draws you in. It was a great start to the series and I can't wait to read the rest!

I received an ARC copy in return for my voluntary and honest review.

Ship Happens is such a great fun read. Kate Stacy knows how to write uplifting, sweet and sexy stories.
Macy and Tate have been friends with benefits for years, but things are about to change. When State's siblings send him on a cruise for lovers he decides to make the best of his time but he knows there is only one person who will complete him.
After Macy ends a relationship and has had enough of life's stresses a friend recommends a cruise to rejuvenate her life. Little do Tate and Macy know they end up on the same cruise ship.
Tate is determined to prove to Macy that she is the one he wants for keeps and after a game of 2 truths and a lie brings hard secrets to the surface, its time for Tate and Macy to look at the relationship they have developed and if is strong enough to be more.
If light hearted fun and steamy romance is your choice you will love Ship Happens.

Tate and Macy ❤️❤️ friends with benefits to something …. more. Kate Stacy does a wonderful job capturing their connection and starting this series off with a bang!

This is my first book by this author. And really I was hooked right away! It had some aspects to it that reminded me a bit of my own kind of fwb to more story that I wrote in a novella. In a good way! Not the same story at all, just had some of the things I connected with. Both characters were real to me, and their relationship made sense. I got why both of them were a little unsure how to tell the other how they felt based on the rules they’d set. However it was great how those feelings got expressed. Even if I was frustrated a bit with how Macy left Tate hanging a time or two, again, it felt real, because I know I would probably do things similarly! I like how the ending didn’t contain any extra added drama. I like that we got to see how things would go and it was more like what I feel real life is like.

This was a great start to the series. It had steaminess, humorous parts, and a wonderful set up of this cruise for sure. So much I wish there was one of these trips I could go on. Or that someone in my life who wanted to help me out would send me on the cruise. I wish I would have time to read more in this series, because I’m guessing they’ll all be fun to read!

This is my first Kate Stacy book and I am obsessed! These characters are believable and easy to root for.

Macy is independent and fierce after everything life has handed to her and totally deserves the best vacation life has to offer, not that I'm biased about cruising at all!

Tate has some seriously meddling siblings but he doesn't seem too upset with the results once he realizes the secret love of his life is also on the ship!

I'm so excited for this series of romance books based on a cruise ship! It's my favorite place in the world to be!

Loved this childhood friends to lovers romance novel. It was short, sweet, full of romance, and the perfect amount of spiciness. I loved how Tate was so possesive of Macy (of what was HIS as he said), and their chemistry was off the charts. I also love how this time the guy was the one to be in love with the girl first. This was my first time reading a novel by author Kate Stacey and I have to say she has gained a new fan. I really enjoyed this cruise ship romance 10/10.
