Set sail and come aboard for some fun,sun and romance with drama thrown in.
A fun and easy read. It is enticing but I really would have liked less drama and more good times.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Gabby and Hank. They both are car sales professionals, work at Hank’s father dealership. They are competing for a cruise for the most car sales. The winner is Gabby. There is an attraction. She takes her best friend on the cruise. Hank decides to takes the cruise too. They each have issues up together they work them out and fall in love.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to receive this book for an honest review.

I honestly did not realized this was book 7 in the Sail Away Series. I started to read this book and found myself enjoying it but felt like I was missing something.

So for that reason I put book down and will read go back and research other books prior to start from the begininning and keep this one on my TBR list.

This is the tale of Gabby and Hank, two individuals acquainted for years who both work as car salespeople at the local Lexus dealership. Their ongoing competition intensifies as they vie for the grand prize: a luxurious cruise for two. Gabby, raised solely by her father following her mother's passing during childbirth, returned from New York City to her small hometown to care for her terminally ill father. Hank, on the other hand, is the son of the dealership owner, and his relationship with his father only developed after he moved back to town. Although a mutual attraction existed between Gabby and Hank, they never pursued it due to the dealership's strict no-dating policy. Gabby intends to bring her best friend, Jessica, on the cruise if she wins, while Hank plans to bring his new girlfriend. In a surprising turn of events, Gabby emerges victorious, only to discover Hank and his girlfriend in the neighboring cabin once aboard the cruise ship named Tropical Magic.

Prepare for an engaging and humorous romantic tale that will keep you hooked with its unexpected turns. The characters in this story are authentic and remarkably well-crafted. The plot is meticulously planned, captivating readers from the very beginning. These characters possess depth, and despite my initial reservations, I couldn't help but fall in love with Hank. All in all, this book provided me with an enjoyable reading experience that I highly recommend.

Gabby Willets returns to her home town to take care of her father. As Gabby was growing up she and her father shared a love for cars even participated in a few races. Her father suggested she get a job at Dan Davis Lexus Dealership where Gabby becomes a sales person. When a contest is announced for two tickets for a 10 day Caribbean cruise for the salesperson selling the most cars in a two-month period Gabby goes for it competing against the owner’s son Hank. Gabby wins the tickets and takes her best friendJessica Knight. They board the ship the Tropical Magic hoping for some magic of their own. The cruise is full of surprises especially when Hank arrives with his girlfriend Ashley Phillips. The sparks start flying while everyone is having a good time. This was an amazing short story that was fun to read I really enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone.

Gabby comes home to take care of her father, who has cancer, he encourages her to enter a contest and she wins a cruise for two. she and her best friend go on the cruise, and it is life changing.

This was a really good book. I enjoyed it so much and the banter between the characters. Made me want to take a cruise! I would definitely recommend this book!

This wonderful amazing shipboard romance embodies the authors writing style and talent. The story is about the ladies ladies begin the prize-winning cruise in hopes of having some time to relax and also to get an adventure. . Then end up getting way more than they were anticipating. Thanks to netgallery for giving me an advanced copy to review.

A fun love story, following the lives of Gabby and Hank, this makes for an entertaining read. Gabby and Hank, rival car salespersons, are vying for a coveted top sales prize - a luxury cruise trip for two. When Gabby wins the competition and hops on board the cruise with Jessica, Gabby and Hank are taken aback to find each other face to face, taking the same trip. Would the journey help Gabby and Hank realize what they mean for each other, is what the plot covers from here on. This was my first Keim book, and I found it to be superb! The writing style is brilliant and the characters are interesting. A definite recommendation from my side. My thanks to Keim and Wild Quail Publishing, for gifting me with a copy of this book.

I received a free copy of, The Winning Tickets, by Judith Keim, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Gabby came home to take care of her father, but then enters a contest, to win a cruise. This book is a short simple romance, I thought it was nice.

This was a delightful read about two women who go on a cruise that changes their future! Enjoyed reading this one!

This was a cute, fun, light read. It reminded me of the good times I had with my husband on our cruise last year. The story was good, but at times felt a little rushed. I liked the chemistry between Hank and Gabby and how they were always in competition with each other. There was lots of drama in the story, but it had a great HEA ending.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wild Quail Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I will leave a review on Amazon and B&N on March 8th

The Winning Tickets was the 7th book in the Sail Away Series, and this book was exactly what I would expect from this author. I love her writing style and how she writes in characters from previous books that we have fallen in love with before. After winning a cruise from a job giveaway, Gabby and her best friend Jess each find love on the cruise. I certainly would recommend this book to everyone.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher, and I am leaving my review voluntarily the opinion expressed here are my own.

The Winning Tickets was such a good easy fun romance book.
This is the story of Gabby and Hank. They both work as salespeople at an auto dealership. The owner of the dealership decides to run a contest for the top selling person. The winner will win an all-expense paid ten-day Caribbean Cruise.
Gabby is determined to win but so is Hank. The winner of the contest was Gabby. She is taking her best friend Jessica to go with her. Off they go to enjoy this fantastic vacation.
Much to their surprise Hank is on the cruise too and he has his girlfriend Ashley with him.
The twists and turns in the story made me so happy to see how things turn out.
This is Book 7 in the Sail Away Series. Each of the books in the series is written by a different author and this book is by Judith Keim.
Thank you Netgalley, Judith Keim and Wild Quail Publishing for eARC of The Winning Ticket. This is my personal review.

This is such a lighthearted and sweet romance. Gabby and Hank are fun and really nice. The setting of a nice warm, cruise was a nice respite from winter. It’s a fast and easy read that I enjoyed a lot. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

I do not usually read short stories or novellas because they usually feel rushed to me. If the idea for a book is good enough I prefer a longer book. Having said that please take this review with a grain of salt since admittedly I do not enjoy short stories and this didn't change my mind. I loved the book blurb for "A Winning Ticket" and didn't realize until I started it was a short story. The was a Hallmark Movie on a cruise ship. Way too much insta-love for me in both relationships portrayed. Not enough plot/conflict. Things wrapped up too easily and it felt very much like a narration than a story. The style felt like it was being told to me instead of happening around me. Hank and Gabby were cute though and if you want a quick, clean, sweet romance you may enjoys this.

A sweet romance. Most of the action takes place on a cruise ship. Especially enjoyable if one has been on one. Gives one a good idea of what to expect if you haven't. Light, quick read. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Gabby and Hank work at the same car dealership, and the owner has announced a competition for the sales people. The one who sells the most vehicles will win a ten-day Caribbean cruise. Sometimes a competition brings out the best in people, and this seems to be the case.
As I was reading, I felt like there was something setting things in motion, and the more I read, the more I thought that. They are on the Tropical Magic, and there were a lot of surprises, magic, and one person that just wants to ruin things. This is a fun adventure on a cruise ship, that make you fell like you are right there with them.
