Fair Trade

New York Monarchs, Book 2

By: Millie Perez

Narrated by: Javi Wilder, Ramona Master

Nicholas Stonehaven is the devil.

The man was supposed to remain a stranger. A fond memory of a night I'll never forget. Instead, I'm mortified to learn that my dirty little secret is now the new owner of the New York Monarchs, making him my boss. I tell myself I can handle this new development. I didn't become the first female general manager in Major League Baseball without knowing how to handle a curveball. I make trades and close deals better than any other GM in the league. But when the arrogant billionaire offers me a contract I can't refuse, it seems like I've earned myself another fancy, although temporary title: wife.

Luisa Álvarez is heaven-sent.

When she's not calling me Lucifer, that is. I can be a lot to handle. Hell, I use that to my advantage in the boardroom. But my experience as the CEO of a media enterprise did me no good when I inherited a professional baseball team from my estranged grandfather. I would have sold it off immediately, but even from six feet under, the old man held something over my head, and I couldn't let it slip through my fingers. That's how I found myself married to my Angel. She may be hung up on the fact that we made a deal and signed on the dotted line. But there is nothing fake about the way I feel for her or how she comes alive under my touch. We agreed to a fair trade, but now it's time to renegotiate. Because when it comes to my wife, I never vowed to play fair.

No third act break up!

Wow this story was such a surprise! It was sooooooo sooooooo good. So romantic and spicy but a wonderful slow burn. This series is off to a great start with the first 2 books!

Wow

Wow! Nick and Luisa….. just wow! This story was amazing! I was a little hesitant on reading this story since it initially picks up right where the first book left off. But I did want to know the backstory of Nick and Luisa. And boy did this book deliver. Going back to their origin story! Which is so hot! I love this story so much. The turmoil. The drama. The spice! I adore the story and I love the characters!

The accents.... so hot

I really loved the banter. Those emails were amazing. I love how the mmc was 100% in from almost the start.

Bad AF woman

Narrated by:
Javi Wilder as Nick
Ramona Master as Luisa
The narrators did such a great job bring these characters to life.

What to expect:
💍 Marriage of convenience
💚 Billionaire
💍 Enemies to lovers
💚 Workplace romance (team owner x gm)
💍 Baseball romance
💚 PCOS representation
💍 Latinx representation
💚 Banter
💍 My wife
💚 Found family

Their banter was so good. There is nothing that Nick wouldn't do for Luisa. It just took her a while to figure that out.

These lines had me giggling:
So sue me for throwing on a pair of gray sweatpants and hoping that all those magazine articles that Luisa graces the covers of were right about the mighty powers of this comfortable garment.
And
I’m lactose intolerant. As Luisa predicted, I usually take my coffee black. But I’ll deal with the repercussions, because from now on, I’ll take my coffee with a dash of milk. Just how my wife makes it.

I cannot wait for the next book.

I love Millie perez

This was my first by Millie and since this I’ve read the rest in the series and I was never let down.
