About this listen

Love hurts, but I like the pain

Maverick

The second I board the Bruise Cruise, I’m ready to indulge—top-shelf liquor, five-star meals, and maybe a little pain to round out the night.

What I don’t expect? Falling for the one woman guaranteed to ruin everything.

A federal agent.

She’s here to sink us, and I’m stuck sharing a suite—and a bed—with the enemy.

Frankie

Get in. Take down Jim and his crew. Get out. That’s the mission.

But nothing about the Bruise Cruise goes according to plan.

Especially not Maverick—handsome, odd, aggravating . . . and weirdly charming.

Which is a problem.

And then he tells me his secrets, leaving me with two options: jump ship or go down with him.

Ship Happens is book three in the dark romantic comedy series rocking the TikTok charts—and this time, all aboard means no one is safe. Expect savage banter, killer humor, and a romance that’s anything but smooth sailing.

If you're looking for a book that will make you snort-laugh into your bedtime tea and genuinely ruin a common food for you forever (in the best way possible), then drop everything and pick up Lauren Biel's latest, Ship Happens.

Following the tone of the rest of the Slaycation Series, this book is an absolute riot. I found myself laughing out loud on almost every page—it has that perfect blend of chaotic humor and relatable, down-to-earth characters that Biel has mastered. It’s the ideal literary palate cleanser: an easy, breezy read that offers a much-needed break from the sinister world of dark romance, but still has that irresistible "just one more chapter" pull that kept me up until 3 a.m. wanting to know what happens next.

What truly elevated Ship Happens for me was its surprising depth. While the comedy is front and center, the way Biel tackled some more "sensitive male issues" surrounding intimacy and performance was handled with such candidness and empathy. It added a layer of realism and heart that you don't always expect in a hilarious vacation romance.

Biel's books are just so refreshingly down-to-earth. They deliver the laughs, the spice, and the heart, making you feel like you're gossiping with your best friend. Get ready to sail away with this one—it truly lives up to the Slaycation name!
