See all formats and editions

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—ninety 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.

Surprisingly, It almost became a 4~4.5 star for me

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2023

The story was good, engaging and well written, and like with all of this author’s book, I feel in love with the characters, and to top it all up, I also got to see and know how the characters from previous books are doing after their HEA.

The thing that wasn’t very pleasant was how for the beginning, and first half of the book, Worth (one of the main characters) kept emphasizing how much younger Cal (the other main character) was, and kept mentioning his “young body” this and his “young” that. Like, ok man. Everyone knows that Cal is 19 years younger than you, stop objectifying his body and everything he does while emphasizing his youth. It all came out really creepy, and taking in consideration that Worth last relationship was also with a younger guy, it made him look like a Pedo-creep. However, the author rectified it when Worth stopped doing this after Cal and him got close. Namely, the relationship moved on to be a little more physical, and incredibly, it stopped being as creepy once Worth stopped mentioning how Cal could be his son. After that, Worth grew on me a little bit, even more so after his talk with his younger brother Lucas. It was a moving moment and it made me like Worth a lot more.

To be honest, I was kind of preparing myself to hate him (Worth) until the end, but fortunately it didn’t happened. The rest of the story just got better and better, and I couldn’t stop reading until the very end. Aww, and the ending! It was just so cute and lovely! Everything just came together in the end so nicely, I couldn’t help but like this book. It earned every single one of the 5 stars.

Not enough stars!!! One of my favorite Lucy books!!

NautiCal by Lucy Lennox (A Forever Wilde Novel/KU) is a GLORIOUS, FEEL FABULOUS read! I can honestly say, it’s one of my favorite books she has written. It’s never easy wrapping up a series with characters that have stolen your heart over the years, but Lucy knocked it out of the park with this one. I had such a happy sappy smile on my face when I was done as opposed to crying my eyes out because it was done! I was no further than 9% when I absolutely fell head over heels in love with a Worth and Cal and laughing my tushkabob off!! Lucy has once again gifted her readers with another excellently written, super fun, snarky, unique, sexy as hell, organic love story. Cal and Worth are complete opposites and years apart and find themselves in a forced proximity situation which leads to some incredibly sweet, tender and hilarious moments!! I may have had the leaky eyes once or twice as well. The unrequited sexual tension is lush (my favorite British term ) especially when they, or perhaps Worth, are trying so hard to fight it. Dialogue is my crack and can make or break a book for me and the dialogue in NautiCal is what sets this book apart. I felt like that proverbial fly on the wall. There is nothing I love more than experiencing emotion at the exact time the MC’s do. The highest of fives to you Lucy! NautiCal can totally be read as a standalone, and if you haven’t read the Wilde series yet, you will want to when you are done!

I got to be one of the lucky early readers for NautiCal, a Forever Wilde novel. I love all of Lucy's books, and I've read every single one; if her name is on the cover, I buy the book.
NautiCal is the final book in the Forever Wilde Series. The book's title is a pun, that should help explain the absolute humor of the book. Cal, short for Calgary, not Calvin…it’s a Wilde Family tradition to name their children after cities in Canada. So anyway, back to the pun title. Cal is a big sailing fan and is a licensed ship captain and certified SCUBA instructor; therefore, he’s nautical…NautiCal. See what she did there?
Pros: The absolute best writing so that it draws in the reader Good story flow with great pacing
Wide range of characters with distinct personalities
Engaging story line
Little to no typos or gaps in the plot
Plenty of humor! Seriously LOL moments
Lots of MM romance
Cons (This is tougher since I don't do spoilers):
One character is a cheater (it’s in the blurb, not a spoiler) and is hard to like but cheating on a significant other isn't my favorite thing
There were lots of nautical (duh) terms in the story, but I sometimes I got thrown out of my headspace because I wasn't familiar with sailing terms
Lucy Lennox knows how to tell a story. Period. She has a way of making characters seem real and the story endearing. That's one reason I'm such a fan of her work. Her world-building is spot on as well.
You could read this book without reading the others, but where's the fun in that? Her Made Marian series and this one are related and in the same Universe. The Wildes and the Marians are related as well, so starting with Barrowing Blue, Made Marian, Book One will be a treat.
If you don't want to invest in all the books (which I get, but it's totally worth the investment) Facing West is the first book in the Forever Wilde series.
NautiCal is now my go-to book to reread when I need a story to take my mind off real life for a while.

Perfect in every way!

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2022

As always, Lucy never lets me down. This book had all the elements of a Wilde love story: family, humor, little drama, some tears, romance, sexy steamy moments, and so much more. The two main characters, who at first seem like total opposites, end up being just what the other needed. I loved getting to know Cal. He was such a fun loving, kind, caring guy with a big heart and like all the Wilde men, sinfully sexy. Then there is Worth, the older dreamy and sophisticated wealthy businessman. From there very first interaction I knew I was hooked. I won't give any spoilers away, I will just say that you can't go wrong with this one. It was definitely a great read, with low angst and had all the good feels.

Another Wilde's story!

Reviewed in Mexico on September 9, 2020

I love this family, how they love and supported each other no matter what. Now, Cal's story about looking to find himself and ending meeting his forever is an age gap love story in the already known Wilde's tradition: a cute couple, wonderful characters around them (besides Wilde's family, the crew of the Worthington are the best), an interesting plot, with just enough angst to made everything interesting and many heartwarming scenes in between steamy hot scenes. Lucy Lennox did it again! So perfect!!

I am WILDE for Nautical

Reviewed in Canada on August 17, 2020

Once again Lucy absolutely slays another Wilde man! I absolutely love this series but NautiCal
may just be my absolute favorite. I couldn’t put it down.

Cal is absolutely hilarious. He’s just so care free
and living his best life. His character instantly draws you in and makes you fall in love with him. He
Is so adorable and absolutely precious. Worth never seen him coming, in the best way.

Worth is such a gem and I loved reading Cal worm his way into his heart and the heart of his family and
and their friends. His restraint was in good effort but Cal is just to special not to win a place in his heart, and break through his high walls he built around himself.

The character development between these two will have you constantly wanting more. They are absolute fire together. And what better place to fall in love then in the Carribean on a beautiful ship with a plan that changed both their lives forever.

Cute

Reviewed in Germany on May 24, 2021

It was fun, it was cute, there was some frame towards the end (which was a bit predictable but I guess that’s almost a given in most romances). The relationship of the mains on the ship was enjoyable to read about. At first I didn’t realise that Cal is the 8. Book of a more or less stand-alone series ( I’m not the biggest fan of those character appearances from earlier book if I have no emotional connection to them but it was bearable in this case and worked in most cases pretty well and naturally ) . overall good book!

A Fabulous Five Stars

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 17, 2020

Where to start! Lucy Lennox is a fairly new author to me, only having read some of her Made Marian series. Whilst reading that series, I kept thinking that no couple could be any better than the previous one. How wrong can one person be?

The story is set on a motor yacht in the Caribbean with some sharks thrown in for good measure, and I don't mean the fishy type.

I loved Cal, he was such a joyful character but not nearly as empty headed or shallow as first portrayed. He was intelligent, fun loving and just so....fabulous! Worth (Jon), a swoon worthy love interest, was smitten with Cal from the start and who can blame him.

The dialogue between both MCs was wonderful and the story itself was great with good supporting characters. There was a lot to love with this story and I'm sure if you've already read and enjoyed the other books in this series, you won't be disappointed.

I'm not going to spoil anything of the story so you'll just have to read it for yourselves. It'll definitely be on my reread list

happy shopper

I’m in love with Lucy’s writing, it’s official. I adored Cal with his carefree attitude, and Worth with his cautious nature who, despite, past experiences, let himself take a chance on love. And as a side note, can I just say I adore the fact that this book is so sex-positive? Reading this was like sinking into a warm bath—comforting, relaxing, and welcoming all at once. Absolutely would recommend!
