Series: Spoiler Alert #3
Author: Olivia Dade
Genre: Romance
Pages: 416
Rating: ★★★
Synopsis:Maria's one-night-stand--the thick-thighed, sexy Viking of a man she left without a word or a note--just reappeared. Apparently, Peter's her surly Gods of the Gates co-star, and they're about to spend the next six years filming on a desolate Irish island together. She still wants him...but he now wants nothing to do with her.
Peter knows this role could finally transform him from a forgettable character actor into a leading man. He also knows a failed relationship with Maria could poison the set, and he won't sabotage his career for a woman who's already walked away from him once. Given time, maybe they can be cooperative colleagues or friends--possibly even best friends--but not lovers again. No matter how much he aches for her.
For years, they don't touch off-camera. But on their last night of filming, their mutual restraint finally shatters, and all their pent-up desire explodes into renewed passion. Too bad they still don't have a future together, since Peter's going back to Hollywood, while Maria's returning to her native Sweden. She thinks she needs more than he can give her, but he's determined to change her mind, and he's spent the last six years waiting. Watching. Wanting.
His shipwrecked Swede doesn't stand a chance.

My Review
There is so much to love about this book. Actually this series in general. Each book has a fat main character and Ship Wrecked actually has two main characters that are fat.
Ship Wrecked starts off with our two main characters, Maria and Peter, having a one-night stand. Maria ditches him in the middle of the night thinking she won't see him again. They are both extremely shocked when they see each other waiting to audition for an extremely popular show.
Their story begins from there. This book actually takes place in the time span of about six years, if I'm not mistaken. They begin their career on Gods of the Gates as kind of "enemies" because Peter is really pissed that Maria just up and left after their night of fun. It takes them a while to finally get along and become friends.
Of course, they end up being more than friends eventually.
I'm not going to lie... I think this is my least favorite book in this series... which makes me sad. I wanted to love this one so much. I just wasn't a fan of Maria. I didn't like that she would assume that Peter wouldn't pick certain jobs just because of her, even when knowing that his work is very important to him.
I'm hoping there are more books in this series. Although, I feel like it may be completed now!
Thank you NetGalley for this arc!
