The Casanova Club Book 8
My journey with the Casanova Club has been full of wonder and magic and, dare I say, heartbreak.
More heartbreak than I ever imagined I could endure.
But here I am, suitcases packed, chin held high, ready to march into July to meet my next Bachelor.
Cooper Diaz.
He's disgustingly handsome. Abs for days. A smolder worthy of every billboard in New York City. And a devilish grin that promises one thing:
Mayhem.
Too bad he's a complete jerk.
My first encounter with him at his beachside mansion in Nassau sends me reeling. I've dealt with my fair share of arrogant pretty boys, but Cooper puts them all to shame, and he's a stark contrast to the gentlemen I've met prior to him on this journey.
It's only a month.
I can survive a month without falling for his 'charms' and his it-must-be-painted-on six pack.
Right?
One thing is for certain.
I didn't expect what I got from this bachelor. And I sure didn't expect how our time together ended, either.
Note to the Reader: This is a 13 book sexy romantic comedy series with monthly releases in 2019. We'll be following the journey of Piper, one funny, down-to-earth young woman, and her willingness to give up everything to save her family. The books are standalone in nature, but do have references to the books before as Piper will spend a month with each member of the 2019 Casanova Club. Voting will begin in early April and run all year long. That's right. You get to vote on who Piper ends up. More to come on that! Enjoy. I did.
My Review:
Urk! This is a really tough book for me to put my reactions into words. I know ‘bully romance’ it the hot thing right now, but I don’t like bullies. I don’t like reading about them as a hero. There’s nothing heroic about a bully. I was bullied in school which made reading this an unpleasant experience for just about the entire first half of the book. Cooper manages to make Easton look like a saint. I’m so glad it got better; that Cooper becomes a man I can like. I just would have liked to see more emotional growth out of Cooper before Piper hopped into bed with him. My brain and emotions just aren’t wired that way, so that didn’t work for me. I think this is the first book in the series that didn’t leave me bawling my eyes out at the end. And while it was a nice change, I kind of missed the intensity. I’m dying to see what comes out of the last scene in this book. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
