The Playboy (Spade Hotel #1) by Marni Mann

ABOUT THE BOOK

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?

MY REVIEW

Playing hard to get has never been so fun and satisfying to watch. Things come easy to Macon Shade, but not to Brooklyn Bray. He takes things for granted and she’s grateful to have a roof over her head. 

Macon is a cocky alpha-hole playboy who finds himself wanting more than a fling with Brooklyn. He is used to getting what he wants and is desperate to prove to Brooklyn that he’s worth taking a chance on, but his work is cut out for him.

Brooklyn is a strong-willed woman who knows what she wants out of life and I respect the hell out of her. She’s not about to let some cocky, charming billionaire distract her from her dreams. He is a distraction she does not need right now. The only thing they have in common is mind-blowing sex and that isn’t enough. Not to mention he is leaving in a few months.

The dynamic between Macon and Brooklyn is fascinating to watch. They are both flawed characters, with their own insecurities and fears. But together, they bring out the best in each other. Macon learns to be more considerate and selfless, while Brooklyn learns to let her guard down and enjoy life a little more. 

This story is incredibly sexy with a man obsessed. The characters are intriguing and the banter is excellent. It’s a great start to a new series and I can’t wait to read more.

Thank you to Ms. Mann for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
