This was such a great debut! Set against the backdrop of the gorgeous Galápagos Islands, Shipped depicts a rivalry for a major promotion and what happens when you start to fall for the competition. Let’s be honest, I requested this book purely because of the rivals-to-lovers trope in a workplace, and it did not disappoint. “All work and no play makes Henley a dull girl.” Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Sally Thorne, Shipped is a fresh and engaging rom-com that celebrates the power of second chances and the magic of new beginnings. Because what’s the point of working all the time if you never actually live?

With her career dreams in her sights and a growing attraction to the competition, Henley begins questioning her life choices. As they explore the Islands together, she soon finds the line between loathing and liking thinner than a postcard. But when the two meet on the ship, Henley is shocked to discover that the real Graeme is nothing like she imagined. There’s just one catch: they have to go on a company cruise to the Galápagos Islands…together. Their boss tasks each of them with drafting a proposal on how to boost bookings in the Galápagos-best proposal wins the promotion. Although they’ve never met in person, their epic email battles are the stuff of office legend.

The only problem? Graeme Crawford-Collins, the remote social media manager and the bane of her existence, is also up for the position. But when she’s shortlisted for the promotion of her dreams, all her sacrifices finally seem worth it.
