The Playboy - Spade Hotel #1 - By Marni Mann (Macon and Brooklyn)

 


ABOUT THE BOOK


A sizzling, grumpy-sunshine, boy-obsessed, one-night-stand romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …


Spade. People know what to expect when they hear my last name.


Billionaire. Alphahole. The forever bachelor. Heir to Spade Hotels, one of the most luxurious brands in the world.


Want to know what they would never call me?


Boyfriend.


Until her.


With one glance at her in the club, I’m ready to claim her for the night.


Dark, flowing hair. A smile that causes my heart to pound. Eyes that pierce my soul. And a perfect body that makes every part of me pulse.


She’s addictive. Electrifying. Consuming.


I’ve never wanted anyone more.


Our eyes meet, but she looks right past me. She isn’t here for me. She’s here for the music.


For the first time in my life, a woman makes me work for it. Her indifference fuels the fire inside me.


The result? One night. No names. No introductions.


Just pleasure.


The way I’ve always liked it.


But now, I find myself fantasizing about this gorgeous stranger, and I swear I can still feel the softness of her skin and taste her on my lips.


The minute I saw her, a switch flipped inside me. Now, how do I stop this raging … obsession?


When our paths cross again in the most unexpected way, I’m on a mission to make her mine. But what happens when she wants nothing to do with me?

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a standalone book within a series, though its the first book I have read by this author. It takes place in Hawaii and Brooklyn and Macon are both anti love and just into one-night stands. That is until they meet at a dance club and its insta lust shall we say.

He is in town working on building a resort for his family. She lives there with her sisters while she goes to college. He is 27 and she is 22. He wants more with her but she hesitates as things are a bit up in the air for herself.

This book is filled with very hot sex scenes and throughout the story. So, if you like tamer stories, I am warning you. If you like HOT stories well, you will LOVE this book and the characters. This story also has angst and drama, lots of drama and jealousy but in a totally hot way. 

Brooklyn is the star in this book. She is a fighter, not with her fists but with her dance moves and her desire to make something of herself and find a job after she graduates. She never gives up and I loved that about her.

Macon is perfect for her because he can't quit her. He believes in her and that she is worth it all and at times he is fighting her for her. He is super-HOT and sexy and totally into her. I loved and adored him so much.

The Shake Off By Lulu Moore (Payton and Ace)

image1.png

ABOUT THE BOOK

My name is Ace Watson, and I’m having an existential crisis.

I finished last season as one of the league's best pitchers. Baseball’s smooth-talking boy wonder. The future of The New York Lions.

I'm starting this season as the worst.

And I don't want to sound dramatic, but the fault lies entirely with Payton Lopez.

She walked into my life with her mile long legs and dark brown waves, and threw me the curviest of all curve balls. Overnight my ability to pitch disappeared with my ability to charm, and I found myself riding a one way ticket to being the most expensive bench warmer in the M.L.B.

The only solution: to get Payton to fix what she broke, something she agrees to on one very easy condition.

Before long, what started as a way to get my pitch back, soon turns into any excuse I can find for us to spend time together.

Before long, I have everything I didn't even realize I wanted.

Now I just need to prove to her that while I exist without baseball, I can’t live without her.

Payton Lopez might have thrown me a curve ball, but I’m pitching it right back.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She's the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions - the worst team in the M.L.B.


More recently she's ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set - the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.


She's a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You'll find her navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.

 This is book 2 in a series about baseball players. It can stand alone but reading it I felt I needed to read the previous series where the baseball team is formed and where Payton is introduced. So, I read the Tuesday Club series. I highly recommend you read that series first so you can meet Payton who is Kit's best friend and is introduced in The Secret.

At the start of the book Payton has just turned 30 and Ace is 23. So it's an older woman/younger man trope story. They have a one-night stand but it turns out Ace is very bad at sex so he strikes a bargain with her to get orgasm lessons, is the best way I can describe it.

There are some really funny and cute moments as the players all start reading Cosmo, the magazine to get sex tips and I almost went out to buy a Cosmo issue too. I also loved Ace's yip issue. 

I felt at times that Payton was very immature and Ace actually was the more mature one between them. He is young and dumb, but he owns it and he wants to learn but he also grows up in this story. At times I was frustrated with Payton because she should be mature and not so high school and she wasn't. When she finally faces her life, her issues and grows up a bit and aces life well I was totally cheering her on in my head.

NOW ON SALE! THE BILLIONAIRE AND THE MAID by SE Rose (Ella and Chase)

 


ABOUT THE BOOK

A small-town maid who is trying to live her dream. A playboy billionaire who needs a fake girlfriend. And a holiday gala that is about to make things complicated.

Ella Foster takes a job as a maid for a billionaire family. Her real goal – to finish her degree and start her own design firm. She hasn’t had it easy after the death of her father. Unlike her stepsisters, Ella has had to work for everything. But she’s determined to make her dreams come true. There’s just one small hiccup…the priceless vase she broke while cleaning the house of the richest family in town.

Chase Marino has never wanted for anything. While the world sees him as the playboy grandson of one of the most famous shoe designers in the world, he secretly wants to explore his own design dreams. He’s working on a plan to do just that once he takes over the family’s company. That is until his father gives him an ultimatum. Settle down and find a girlfriend or lose his birthright as CEO of the company. And to make matters worse, he has less than four weeks to do it.

Chase gives Ella an offer she can’t refuse – be his fake girlfriend for a month and he’ll hide the fact that she destroyed his mother’s favorite vase.

Ella’s determined to put up with the annoying Chase Marino so that her dreams aren’t dashed, but she soon learns there’s more to him than the tainted image she sees online. Could he be more prince charming than spoiled playboy? And can Chase keep himself from falling for the fairytale-loving woman who seems so familiar to him?

Do you love the story of Cinderella? Well then you are going to love this book. Ella plays the role of Cinderella in this story, and we even have the prince who is Chase, who chases after his Cinderella with the glass slipper. There are also several fairy god mothers too and a matchmaking grandfather. 

This was such a fun story and romance. Its low on drama and even has the two stepsisters and step mommy. No one was over the top or super mean, but they were awesome in this story, maybe a bit stuck up.

This is a fake relationship trope story with a bit of childhood friends thrown in the mix. I loved how that all came about, and I am not spoiling it. 

This was a fun romance with a really awesome cast of characters and so romantic too!!
