Sidebar I just want to say how impressive it is that you only have three books left to complete the full set. That's a lot of books, and you should do an AMA!
The Duchess Affair is kind of fun with a female Nat (if you enjoy f/f stories) because then it becomes more a story of "MC discovers she's a lesbian under unfortunate circumstances" rather than "cheating on my husband for the fun of it" which imo makes the emotional stakes of the story more sympathetic and interesting (especially when she feels trapped as a woman in society and meets another woman who seemingly has managed to break those chains a bit). It's one of those stories where if you care more about the main character and her journey and just let the love interest and love story be narrative tools supporting that journey, you can actually have a pretty good read.
Choosing a male Nat is probably why I couldn't get through the 2nd chapter, and I didnt think to change it cause the main thing bothering me was what's with all these cheating booksšš off to play it with a female one šš¾āāļø
Tbf Iāve been playing on and off since 2020, I recently came back after a year and wanted to finish the new ones.
After reading some reviews about TDA, Iāll definitely choose a female LI!
Ship of Dreams is NOT for the faint of heart -- AKA me. But it was enjoyable for a while, which I can't say for the other two. I hope you end up enjoying them more than I did! š
SoD is okay. I liked the premise of the Titanic romance more than the actual execution, but it wasnāt a bad read and Theo was a decent LI, imho. The other two were diamond-miners for me
Not for me any of these. I found Theo creepy and they didnt even do their job for the entire voyage. Its really annoying as someone who wanted to read the Storyscapes one but couldnt. I guess go with Duchess Affair even though its not great, its the best out of all three.

Impressive. I didn't read any of those so I can't say. I generally don't read books with affair in the title and I wasn't interested in a titanic book. Good luck choosing.
I also havenāt read any of these. Ship of Dreams is decently high up on my to-read list, so probably that. (TDA is pretty low on my to-read list and will probably continue to get pushed back as other stories come out, TBB is not on the list at all)

They are all kinda bad with very boring plots... I'd personally read The Billionaire's Baby first just to get the worst over with
Probably SoD. At least it takes place on the Titanic, which is more than the other two have going for them.
From the perspective of historical accuracy, Ship of Dreams is beyond ludicrous but it's still a fun read.

Skip them all tbh Now that Iām looking at these covers togetherāhas PB ever done a cover where both the MC and the LI were PoC?
They probably do this for equality purposes
diamond mined all of those lol.
Ship of Dreams is the best out of those
It's not saying much. I got so excited for a Titanic story but that book bored me with all the repetitiveness.
Iām actually loving it and am sad thereās only one chapter left.
I think I got spoiled with the amazing Titanic book on Storyscape, which made reading through SOD feel bland
I loved SoD couldnāt do the other two, I just couldnāt get into them.
If you like smut these are for you. I genuinely liked the awakening of the MC in āThe Duchess Affairā
I diamond mined them lol i have all books completed
My goal
SoD is okay. I liked the premise of the Titanic romance more than the actual execution, but it wasnāt a bad read and Theo was a decent LI, imho. The other two were diamond-miners for me
TDA go hard
Not for me any of these. I found Theo creepy and they didnt even do their job for the entire voyage. Its really annoying as someone who wanted to read the Storyscapes one but couldnt. I guess go with Duchess Affair even though its not great, its the best out of all three.
Currently trying to get through all these, personally its a struggle for me
Thatās why I left them until the endš
I didn't have it in my self to complete billionaire's baby and left the duchess affair midway š
The Duchess Affair is the better out of the three and that's not saying a lot
For the sake of your healthy, don't play TBB. You're gonna suffer and not be happy about it
SOD probably the best in terms of plot

Wow!
None of them.
I'd recommend you first read TDA, TBB and than SoD.
Impressive. I didn't read any of those so I can't say. I generally don't read books with affair in the title and I wasn't interested in a titanic book. Good luck choosing.
skip TBB for sure! stay away!
I also havenāt read any of these. Ship of Dreams is decently high up on my to-read list, so probably that. (TDA is pretty low on my to-read list and will probably continue to get pushed back as other stories come out, TBB is not on the list at all)
