The Playboy

Spade Hotel, Book 1

By: Marni Mann

Narrated by: Savannah Peachwood, Tor Thom

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?

Enjoyable

Liked the story and readers . Was one you wanted to continue listening to. Would have liked another following.

Uhm…Well

While I’ve enjoyed Marni Mann’s books, the performance on this one still has me scratching my head. The storyline was pretty good, but the male narrator’s speech pattern still has me puzzled. The way that the end of his words were clipped was so distracting that it impeded my enjoyment of the story. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before and couldn’t determine if it was just his speech pattern or mechanical. Suffice it to say that I didn’t enjoy it.

Unoriginal, Boring and the Male narrator made my skin crawl

I listen to a LOT of audiobooks, mostly new romance. I was coming off a high of listening to Butcher & Blackbird, which was sooo good, and this book was also recommended for me by Audible so I thought I’d give this author and book a try. This story was super formulaic, nothing original, no heart and it felt like the author just phoned it in, and I kept finding myself spacing out and really bored. I just wanted to get to the predictable and unrealistic end. It could’ve been me just coming out of a good book and this one not measuring up at all. The very worst part was the male narrator making the 27 year old hero sound like a super creepy 65 year old lech. It made me feel icky and it was not romantic to hear that voice diddle with the 22 year old heroine. Yuck. I’d pass on this one.

Loved it

I love how all the characters interact from the other series! Love this book and can’t wait to continue the series!
