Veritas

De: MJ Duncan

Narrado por: Lori Prince

Working as a chef aboard a private yacht might not seem like a vacation for most people, but to Lauren Murphy, a highly-regarded sous chef at a top New York restaurant, the opportunity to spend seventeen days in the Virgin Islands, sailing from one tropical location to the next, while having complete freedom to create her own menus is a dream come true. Enter Grey Wells, the owner and captain of the Veritas, and the most complicated person Lauren has ever met. Cold and distant one minute and then cautiously friendly the next, Lauren is compelled to get to know her better. What happens when she does, however, is enough to change both of their lives forever.

Wow!

I was not expecting this story the unfolded here. And wow! The love just jumps out at you.. wish there was an epilogue.

The Perfect Spicy Vacation Romance where two people face life-altering choices.

Lots of passionate slow burn and hard press love making, beautiful scenery, chemical and spiritual attraction, really cute side characters, and a relationship that grows immensely in a short compressed period of time. The narration is excellent with easily distinguishable main characters and emotive expression. Loved the food and cooking details! This is a world of privilege where I hope these characters grow and find a way to become more inclusive over time. What did I miss? I needed the HEA time stamp where everything that was pure and sure has been allowed to grow, struggle and flourish again so we know it’s real and likely to last. Is this a series? Not yet, but if M.J. Duncan has a brain in her head, it will be soon. I can feel the breeze in my hair, the ocean spray on my face, the tantalizing tastes on my tongue (from the chef’s creations!), the different groups who come and the stories they bring, and the life enhancing decisions they unexpectedly make while on vacation! And since this is a lesbian series, at least one of Ms. Duncan’s characters is going to open a floating coffee shop/restaurant where everyone stirs the tea. Add a few colorful locals, a dock dog and the whole thing will be more successful than NYE fireworks! A 4.7 rating says you are on to something, so keep going! Highly recommended!

The setting is a nice change of pace

MJ is an excellent writer and captures depth, growth, and loss wonderfully. Lori Prince did a stellar job as always.

Super, super sweet love story

I enjoyed this title very much because it was simple and spoke to the sweetness of what can flow between two womxn.

An amazing story teller

The author has a very special talent for character development that draws you in and makes you a part of the experience.
