Synopsis
Maria’s one-night-stand—the thick-thighed, sexy Viking of a man she left without a word or a note—just reappeared. Apparently, Peter’s her surly Gods of the Gates co-star, and they’re about to spend the next six years filming on a desolate Irish island together. She still wants him…but he now wants nothing to do with her.
Peter knows this role could finally transform him from a forgettable character actor into a leading man. He also knows a failed relationship with Maria could poison the set, and he won’t sabotage his career for a woman who’s already walked away from him once. Given time, maybe they can be cooperative colleagues or friends—possibly even best friends—but not lovers again. No matter how much he aches for her.
For years, they don’t touch off-camera. But on their last night of filming, their mutual restraint finally shatters, and all their pent-up desire explodes into renewed passion. Too bad they still don’t have a future together, since Peter’s going back to Hollywood, while Maria’s returning to her native Sweden. She thinks she needs more than he can give her, but he’s determined to change her mind, and he’s spent the last six years waiting. Watching. Wanting.

Review
Ship Wrecked is book three in the Spoiler Alert series, and while I enjoyed it very much, it was my least favorite of the three.
Maria and Peter were fine, but they didn’t do it for me quite as much as Alexis or even Marcus. I don’t even remember them as being cast members before this book. Maria was a little too much of a risk-taker, and Peter was not enough. I liked that Peter pined for Maria, and I enjoyed both of them, but they weren’t my favorites.
Like the other books in the series, this takes place on the set of a very Game of Thrones-like show. So I enjoyed that aspect of it. And the forced proximity that this caused between Maria and Peter was excellent! That was my favorite part of the book. I also enjoyed that those two were able to become such good friends.
The eventual conflict annoyed me the most and made me not particularly enjoy Maria. I thought she was a little too unreadable, and I wish she wasn’t so black and white about things.
Overall this was an enjoyable read. I loved that both characters were fat and enjoyed the story.
