Synopsis:
Max Riley is the man of your dreams. Or at least he will be, for a price.
As his alter-ego Mister Romance, Max is a drop-dead gorgeous escort who makes romantic fantasies come to life. No sex, just swoon-worthy dates to die for, and the cream of New York’s socialites can’t get enough. Whether they want a dominating billionaire, bad boy with a heart of gold, hot geek, sexy biker, or best friend who loves them from afar, Max can make it all happen, but he’s careful to keep his real identity a secret.
Enter investigative journalist Eden Tate. Having caught wind of the urban legend of Mister Romance from a lovestruck client, Eden is determined to publish a scathing expose on Max and his ability to swindle lonely society women out of their fortunes.
Desperate to protect his anonymity and his clients, Max challenges Eden to give him three dates. If she doesn’t fall in love with him, she can run her story with his blessing. If she succumbs to his charms, the story dies.
Cynical Eden has no doubt she can resist his fake romance personas, but when the real Max admits he’s falling for her, she has to decide if the professional liar is telling the truth, or if the passionate man with the mysterious past is just one more character designed to con her out of her career-making story.
Don’t miss this sizzling new standalone from the internationally best selling author of Bad Romeo, Broken Juliet, and Wicked Heart.
My Review:
4 4.5 SEXXXXXY STARS
“Sex is for the body. Romance is for the soul.”
OH YES!! Part ‘Hitch’ and part ‘How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days’, ‘Mister Romance’ is a delightfully sexy and warm-hearted romance that will thrill all contemporary romance lovers.
I am a HUGE fan of Leisa Rayven. You can always count on this author to deliver a steamy, well-written story, and she lives up to her reputation with this yummy book. Surprisingly emotional yet funny and sharp, I enjoyed every minute of this fast-moving story. Eden Tate is stuck in a dead-end job that she hates. She is a smart and driven journalist but must land a big story in order to move up to a better position. She hears a rumor of a “Mister Romance”, a mysterious man who acts as an escort to some of Manhattan’s wealthiest and elite women. She is determined to uncover his true identity.
Sounds cliche, no? But this story is much more than your standard rom-com. Eden has some heavy trust issues and “M.R.” actually beats her at her own game and turns the tables on her. And surprise! ‘M.R.” aka Max Riley is sexy and smart and just might be the one who shows Eden how to open her heart.
This story had my heart pounding and had me cheering for Eden and Max. And the steamy scenes between Eden and Max are BURNING HOT!! I fell in love with all the characters in this book and their love story made me swoon. Highly recommend this book if you need some funny, romantic and light-hearted reading. And be prepared to be THRILLED by Max Riley!!
