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 recognize 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 himself. 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 discover 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 summer fling with an expiration date neither of them wants to keep.

The Swell of Romance
This book 2 in this Valentine's Ink Cruise Series and it didn't disappoint. Chase a business man and Reign a barista meet every morning when Chase drops into Sweet Beans coffee shop and he shamelessly flirts with Reign but being a shy person Reign doesn't think he has a chance with the savey businessman little does he know Chase likes him. What are the chances they are holidaying on the same cruise as each other and this is where the sparks start to fly. This is an amazing series.

    I really enjoyed this author's writing style, very descriptive and smooth. I liked that this one was longer than book #1, though book #1 was good too. This one was funny and sweet with a little bit of kink. Looking forward to book #3.

    I am loving this cruise addition of Valentine's Inc!
    Shipping Orders was sweet, sexy, endearing and oh so hot. I loved Chase for bringing Reign out of his shell and showing what an amazing person he is, and Chase for breaking those terrible bonds that were holding him hostage.
    Such a great story!

    Chase and Reign burn up the pages with their combustible chemistry. They are absolutely adorable and sexy together.

    Ashe Winters' follow-up to Kiss Me Tomorrow is sweet and hot. Be sure to check it out.

    I very much enjoyed this book. I wasn't as thrilled with the way that Chase let his mother subconsciously control his decisions with regards to his relationship, but I suppose it's because of how high they are in society. I'm just glad he told her to stuff it.

    Shipping Orders is the second book in the Valentine Inc. Cruises series and delivers on both the romance and hotness factors. As I haven't delved into too much kink yet, this book was perfect for me. Ashe Winters crafted a beautifully light Dom/sub relationship between Chase, a somewhat closed-off businessman afraid to love, and Reign, a sweet and shy barrister who wants someone to look after him. Reign has secretly crushed on Chase for over a year, making him his coffee every morning. Battling his own insecurities and fears, Reign is sure Chase doesn't see him that way, but when they get aboard the ship and discover they're suitemates, boy do things start to change. The moment Chase steps in to take care of Reign after he's suffered an awful blight of motion sickness and anxiety, there was no turning back for either of them.

    Chase and Reign are absolutely perfect together and bring out the best in one another. Whilst they eventually can't ignore their attraction anymore and things heat up in the bedroom (and against the balcony door) ... the story is definitely one that evokes emotional turbulence. After Chase creates the rule that their fling must end when the cruise does, I wanted to sit them both down so they would see sense. It's so evident they both wish for more, this delicious angst making the ending all the more sweeter!

    A cute and steamy romance, a hint of bondage and kinkiness, and a gorgeous HEA is all on offer in Chase and Reign's story. Highly recommend!

    I loved everything about these characters including their names! Reign was so sweet and naturally submissive. Chase was the absolute best protective Dom. This was very light kink....wonderful chemistry and romance!Loved the cruise aspect of the story and series!

    I really loved this story. Something about Reign just got to me and I just adore him. He’s always putting himself down but doesn’t realize how strong he really is. He goes beyond his comfort zones to help people or ask for what he wants, even when it makes him blush to high hell. He’s just a sweetheart and made this book for me.

    Reign’s been pushing after Chase for a while now. Chase has been lusting after Reign as well, but because of that wall Reign out up, Chase had a hard time showing it. So he flirted trying to get a ride out of Reign. It worked. But now these two are going on a cruise and they have no idea they are going to be on the same cruise. Through close friends and family of theirs, they were roped into it. But Reign’s fears of water and motion sickness started this cruise on the wrong foot and his first glimpse of his cabin mate was covered in vomit and in a fetal position on the floor. Could life get any worse? But Chase just took it in stride and took care of Reign. And they started talking, becoming friends. Chase was determined to see Reign smile this trip and did all he could to be his guide. But things changed after one drunken night. Their chemistry had been smoldering this whole time, but when Reign asked for a kiss the next morning and said in explicit detail of what he wanted Chase to do to him, things changed. They made rules. It was only for the duration of the cruise, but things changed even more. Love blossomed. But can Chase get over the fear of his family and can Reign get past Chase’s mother trying to run him off?

    I get tickled when Chase calls Reign puppy in this book? They aren’t in to puppy play. It’s just an expression Reign gets that makes Chase think of a puppy and it’s so dang endearing. I just love it. I love, too, how these two have circled each other. But shy Reign was the one who got things started. They’re good for each other. Chase brings Reing out of his shell and Reign gives Chase someone who loves him for him and not his money or name. They’re good for each other in other ways too. They’re very compatible with each other in spite of what would be different social standings. And they don’t care. Chase wanted to run, not because Reign scared him, but because of how his family is and he wants to protect him. And after meeting the mother, I can’t blame him. She needs to be smacked and hard.

    But it’s a good love story. A slow burn. With a friendship and intimacy that makes it even better.

    Shipping Orders is the second book in the Valentines Inc Cruise series and was written by Ashe Winters. It is a friends to lovers romance with light bondage and a hint of A Dominate and submissive relationship.

    Chase Kelton is a wealthy, dominate, freelance corporate auditor who doesn’t want to be in a relationship because of his meddling family.
    Reign is a sweet, shy and introverted barista who has has a secret desire to be tied up and dominated in the bedroom. They decide to start a cruise fling that neither one of them ever want to end.

    What I liked the most out of this book is seeing Reign come out of his shell and standing up for himself with his uncle. I also really liked that it was Reign who went after Chase first. What I disliked about this book was that Chase’s nickname for Reign was puppy.

    This was a really fun and cute read and I can’t wait to read what comes next.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and dirty, just how I like it!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2019
    What a fab second book for this ship-based series from Valentines, Inc! The buttoned-up, domineering Chase, who can’t have a relationship because his mother would put any boyfriend through hell, gets to see what his daily barista Reign (shy, geeky and totally my type!) is like when he comes out of his shell. (Spoiler: the answer is ‘kinky’). With fun suitemates (please can we have Kent’s story?), flamboyant uncle Nel, and a cameo from Valentines, Inc franchise owners Erick and Lawrence, what more could you need?

    Oh, and now I really want to go on this cruise.

    This was a very nice, sweet and funny read with some red hot moments.

    I really loved Reign, such a sweet, beautiful, understanding man, so many layers.
    I liked Chase, he was so good to Reign. Helping him see himself as all he can be.

    I loved the ending, it was absolutely perfect
