No please dont make these two end!
loved this book from cover to cover. i was delighted to be right in there,sat for the duration.
another corker from a brilliant author who is quickly becoming a go-to for always giving me exactly what i need from a book.

Billionaire playboy on a forced celibacy break? Say less.
Theo Callisthenes is no stranger to the headlines—or the bedroom—but after one scandal too many, his brother gives him a challenge: four months without sex to save the family’s business. His plan? Hide out on his superyacht in the Greek islands and stay out of trouble. Easy, right?
Enter Tiffany Wainright: the one woman he hasn’t been able to get out of his head. She’s smart, grounded, and officially the newest crew member aboard his yacht. Forced proximity + unresolved tension = disaster for Theo’s so-called “honor.”
Add in a business deal that can only be salvaged if Tiffany agrees to pose as his fake fiancée for 48 hours, and things start heating up fast. They're supposed to play the part by day and keep their hands to themselves at night… but the chemistry between them is off the charts, and the longer the act goes on, the blurrier the lines become.
This is one of those sun-soaked, yacht-setting, enemies-to-lovers-with-a-twist stories that delivers exactly what you expect in the best way. It’s got:
🛥️ Forced proximity
🛥️ Fake engagement
🛥️ Celibacy bet
🛥️ Playboy x no-nonsense heroine
🛥️ Touch of second chance
🛥️ And lots of summer spice
Tiffany is easy to root for—strong, independent, and determined to make a better life for herself and her brother. Theo’s cocky and charming, but when it counts, he shows up. Their dynamic is hot, banter-filled, and surprisingly sweet underneath the tension.
I do wish the ending had a little more time to breathe, but this was a quick, fun read and a perfect beach escape. If you like a luxe setting, witty heat, and high-stakes romance, Below Deck Billionaire is worth the trip.

Yowza, this was spiiiiiicy. Forced proximity, fake relationship, Tiffany and Theo have mega chemistry and you knew it was inevitable that they'd end up together but it was still an engaging and entertaining read.

I really wanted to love this book but it left me confused.

The characters were okay I didn’t like them especially how we had no growth or development so it was just meh.

It was a quick easy read with spice so an easy read between heavy series or books!

Fans of spicy billionaire romance novels will love this. It had everything that I could want in a billionaire romance and more. The chemistry between the characters was off the charts 🌶️🌶️. If you are looking for an easy to follow, spicy romance novel to read over the summer, then I highly recommend it.
💖 Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Another hit from Amy Andrews. This was a pleasure to read. Pure entertainment with a good plot. Theo and Tiffany a truly engaging couple. A sorta follow up to Undercover Billionaire but a story unto itself. Read This Book. Thank you NetGalley fir the advanced copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Who wouldn't fall in love with a handsome, Greek billionaire? Theo is strictly a one and done man, but for reasons he can't explain, he is seriously tempted by Tiffany when he runs into her again. Tiffany is the new second steward on his super yacht, so avoiding one another looks to be next to impossible.
I really enjoyed the chemistry between Theo and Tiffany. The added element of the dare that Theo has entered with brother Ari, means that he's sworn of sex for the next few months, this means that the tension between this pair is reaching fever pitch.
I really liked Theo and Tiffany as a couple and enjoyed this second installment, just as much as I enjoyed the romance between Theo's brother Ari and Tiffany's best friend Kelsey. I don't know if this is the last time we'll be traveliing to see this Greek Billionaires, but I really enjoyed it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.

Another easy, fun read!

A one-night stand turned HEA, Theo and Tiff’s story is hot and spicy. Playboy billionaire and owner of a floating empire, Theo can’t get the woman from his brother’s wedding out of his head. Imagine his surprise when he runs into her again—on his yacht. When the unexpected happens, Theo finds himself needing Tiff’s help.

This is my second book by the author, and like the first, it was a light and enjoyable read. I loved certain elements—especially the easy pacing, the billionaire romance angle, and the forced proximity trope. That said, I really wish the book had been written in dual POV (it's in third person), and I found myself wanting just a bit more depth overall. I also felt the story could have flowed a bit faster in places to keep the momentum going.

Still, it’s a solid 3-star read for me.

Thank you to Amy Andrews and Boldwood Books for the opportunity to review this title!

I don't normally read in this genre but needed a break from more serious reads. It was enjoyable, entertaining and those who read this genre regularly would love it.

Couldn’t quite get into this one. It wasn’t holding my attention and the chemistry and tension was lacking, as well as the plot.

Will Tiff help Theo?

Theo Callisthenes never thought that his weekend would make the tabloids and end the deal that his family had been working on with Dimitri Kouris for three months. But his penance was a dare to go without sex for four months and stay out of the tabloids to try and salvage the deal with Dimitri.

Tiffany Wainright had decided for a change from working on large cruise ships to working on the superyacht Nerida for two months. Tiff never expected to find out the owner was Theo Callisthenes who she had slept with at her best friend Kelsey’s wedding to Theo’s brother Ari who is trying to stay out of the tabloids. But Theo needs some help and he needs Tiff’s help to seal the deal if she will help him?

Reading Undercover Billionaire first might help to understand Tiff and Theo but you their backgrounds really help you to get into the story.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the author and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Below Deck Billionaire is a sizzling, sun-soaked romance set on the high seas. Amy Andrews pairs a brooding billionaire with a spirited heroine in a sexy, escapist story full of sharp dialogue, steamy tension, and emotional depth. Glamorous, fun, and totally addictive.

The setup is both enticing and classic: Theo Callisthenes, heir to a Greek shipping empire, is given an ultimatum—abstain from sex for four months or risk tanking the family’s reputation and business. Retreating to his yacht to escape the paparazzi and temptations, Theo is determined to stay celibate… until Tiffany Wainright joins the crew. She’s sharp, capable, and, crucially, immune to his charms—at least she was once.

The forced proximity between Theo and Tiffany creates immediate and irresistible tension. Their dynamic crackles with Andrews’ signature snappy banter, magnetic flirtation, and just the right dose of emotional friction. When a business crisis forces Theo to stage a fake engagement, Tiffany becomes the obvious—and only—choice. What begins as a PR charade soon blurs into something much more genuine.

The novel leans heavily into familiar but beloved tropes: fake relationship, second chances, and opposites attract. Andrews navigates them with confidence, infusing the story with energy and sensuality. The fake fiancé plotline is well-executed, particularly in how it accelerates emotional vulnerability between the leads. Their gradual trust-building feels authentic, even when the pacing occasionally breezes past deeper emotional beats.

While it doesn’t break new ground, Below Deck Billionaire is pure romantic indulgence. Think jet-set fantasy with heart—a perfect beach read for fans of playful banter, luxe settings, and steamy slow burns.

Great summer romance! Easy read and good chemistry. Very convenient ending with no big conflict. But great spice and likeable characters. First one I’ve read in the series but guessing it started with Ari’s love story. Love a predictable HEA

This is a standard billionaire post one night stand romance. Honestly, a nice quick read for the beach since the setting is on a yacht! Unfortunately, there wasn't anything profound with this read and it was really about their constant attraction to each other with their close proximity. I wish there was more to their personalities than just instant attraction. The characters were fine but not really well-rounded. I wanted to like it more since I love some other Boldwood billionaire books a lot more!

This was such a fun read! As a Below Deck fan, I loved the yachting setting—it gave the whole story a fun, summery vibe that made it easy to get into, and I felt right at home. I liked the forced proximity of the boat and felt like it was done well.

I really liked Tiffany as the FMC—she was confident, funny, and held her own in every scene. I also liked the tension between her and Theo, and the spicy scenes were crafted so we'll!

My only complaint is that the ending felt pretty rushed—I would’ve loved a little more time for everything to settle and play out. But overall, I really enjoyed the story, the setting, and the characters. A perfect beachy escape!

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for a copy of this eARC!

The absolute perfect read for a heat wave!

Theo & Tiffany’s story is a hot & spicy one! The setting-on a yacht, in the Greek isles and Mykonos in particular-is so well written that it feels as if you’re there in person! In addition there are great characters and a great storyline! A nice escape read on a hot summer day! I definitely recommend.

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me the privilege of being able to read this book!

I've had the privilege of recently reading 'The Payback Plan' by Amy Andrews and I adored it, so I just knew she wouldn't disappoint me with this book. I was right! I've read a lot of fake engagement/ fake relationship books, especially lately and this is honestly the best one I've ever read! It had everything most of those other books are usually lacking; actual connection I can truly feel, a genuine interest in knowing things about each other, and not just for the premise of their fake relationship but because they want too and my gosh that chemistry!

I fell in love with the characters; Theo and Tiffany they're everything. They're perfectly well rounded characters that despite where they come from they feel so real, just like you and me and the growth they go through and their relationship from start too finish was beautiful! It's so nice reading characters that actually feel and act their ages. I love that they actually talk things out like you or I would! There is an event that occurs that is really emotional (not a third act breakup thank gosh) and it really pulled at my heart, probably more for me than most. But that's because right now I might end up going through something similar. But that epilogue stole my heart and it was exactly what I hoped it would be! What really stole my heart though was the setting! The way the author was able to weave her descriptions of everything and every place, I couldn't stop picturing it all and feeling like I was right there alongside the characters and I so wish that I could be, it sounds so beautiful!

Also should the author ever write a book involving a little myth and fantasy (a concept alluded too in the book) I will be the first one lined up to read it, because I can completely see her being able to write something like that!

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for writing a book I've fallen for I truly appreciate it! I loved this so much, I know I'll be able to read it again and again and I can't wait until I can bring it home along with some of her other works!
