NautiCal

A Forever Wilde Novel

By: Lucy Lennox

Narrated by: Michael Dean

I didn’t mean to stow away on the yacht, I swear.

My first mistake was going home with the jerk at the bar, but in my defense, Prescott said he owned the Worthington - 90 feet of sleek, yachty perfection - and if I could get the chief mate’s job, I’d have an excuse to stay on board and keep avoiding my family and my future.

How was I supposed to know he was the owner’s cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law, or that I’d end up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbor?

When the real owner finds me and offers me a different job - being his fake boyfriend on a cruise through the British Virgin Islands to tempt Prescott to reveal his cheating ways - that’s when I make my second mistake: I agree.

Turns out, Jonathan Worthington isn’t just a billionaire, he’s funny and generous and a little bit of a control freak. He’s also six feet of sleek, gorgeous silver fox perfection, and suddenly, it’s not just his yacht I’m lusting over.

Worth thinks I’m way too young and flighty for anything more serious than spending the week in his bed...but if you believe we won’t fall in love before the cruise is over, I have a yacht in the Caribbean to sell you.

Great story.

I have LOVED all of the Forever Wilde books, while not my favorite (That honor goes to Doc and Grandpas back story, which should be a movie) I still enjoyed Cals story. ( The play on words Naughty Cal, was perfect planning. About to read the next story in line....which I truly hope is not the last. Thank you Lucy Lennox and the amazing Michael Dean!!

A Good Worth

This was book 8 in the "Forever Wilde" series. Cal Wilde is in the Caribbean when he hooks up with a guy Prescott who told him he was the owner of a very nice ship turns out he wasn't. Jonathan Worthington and he is surprised to find a young hot sexy guy in his closet Cal has been in there for hours. Turns out Prescott is his brothers fiance. Cal was fun loving and enjoyed his work he has been working on boats since he was a teenager. Worth is nursing a broken heart his last boyfriend only wanted him for his money. These two make a deal to try to trap Prescott Worth wants to get the slimy little weasel away from his brother. I liked his brother Lucas and his sister Natalie they want to see him happy and was glad when he starts to relax. Cal doesn't want handouts and he panics when he realizes how rich Worth really is. When Cal tells them about his family Prescott doesn't believe him that his cousin is married to a king or that his brother was an alleged art thief so he tells Worth that Cal is using him. When these two begin having sex it was hot and when Cal is accidentally hurt while diving Worth is worried about him. Cal has to leave early because someone he cares about is hurt. When he comes up with a plan for the rest of his life he goes to Worth only it doesn't go as planned. This was a good read with no errors in grammar or spelling. I also loved the narration on this series. I hope to read more from the characters in this series as I already read the next book in this series.

A Fun Billionaire Romance

Like most of Lucy Lennox's novels, don't be looking for a super realistic plot. Mega billionaire opens his closet to find a super hot cutie, twenty years his junior, wearing his pj's? That's just the beginning of when you'll need to suspend your disbelief in NautiCal. Even with my continual eye rolling, it was still a fun romance, and I did enjoy it.

I absolutely hate to say negative things in reviews, but I have to wonder who is doing Michael Dean's post production proofing? It seems like lately he's been mispronouncing more and more words, and his accents have been a bit tough to listen to. He still rocks the physical romance scenes though, and the warm, friendly vibe that comes through in his characters continues to have me purchasing audiobooks narrated by him.

Lucy Lennox's descriptions of the warm Caribbean waters, the enjoyable experiences diving and sailing, and the fun this group of people have together is wonderfully done. All in all, a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours while I'm stuck in rainy New York.

Cute predictable MM HEA

I did enjoy listening to this book. It was rather predictable and a bit far fetched. A 22 year old hooking up with a billionaire. Or, maybe not. This is an easy enjoyable listen.

The narration is just awesome. Love the hot hot scenes.

Enjoy!

Lucy Lennox and Michael Dean

Does anything eise need to be said? Lucy's ability to write a book that conveys a story of 2 men. Michael Deans ability to bring the characters to life.

Such a Clever Title!

The story is laugh out loud hilarious as it is filled with nautical puns and flirty one liners.

I didn't expect to fall in love with Cal, but Lucy Lennox worked her magic. Cal is a 20-something delight. John, the age-gap older lover is a completely believable character. He is a career driven overachiever who isn't ready for his life to be shaken up by anyone, much less the adorable Cal.

Michael Dean rocks the narration with his impeccable timing and ability to yell, "F**k!"
without it sounding ridiculous. Throughly enjoyed this book.

Another winner

Wasn’t sure at first but why did I even doubt. Cal’s story was wonderful and of course Michael Dean did another amazing job

"Never trust a rich older man" ..

Would I listen to it again: yes
Did the story keep me engaged: yes
Was I invested in the characters: yes

Delightfully entertaining, and everything I've come to expect from Lucy Lennox. I laughed, I sniffled, and I finished with a big smile.

Michael Dean does his usual stellar performance bringing NautiCal to life.

I love this series so much!

Cal is so adorable. I love the sweetness of this story. Micheal Dean nails it in the narration!

Fun read

Though Cal's story it didn't go as far as it could with all the characters it was a fun read.
