Publisher's summary

A sexy novel, rich with love, laughter, and steamy passion that sizzles with New York Times best-selling author Lisa Kleypas’s hallmark sensuality and delicious tension

Millionaire Texas playboy Jack Travis lives for pleasure. He has money, women, and no commitments, and that’s just the way he likes it. Then a gorgeous stranger with an infant appears on his doorstep, rocking his carefree world.

Columnist Ella Varner liked her independent life too, until her wild younger sister Tara skipped town, leaving baby Luke in her responsible hands. Ella doesn’t know how to raise a child, and she’s not going to do it alone. The baby’s father - Jack - will have to help.

For the first time in his life, Jack can’t smooth talk his way out a jam. But the more he gets to know Ella and Luke, the more he discovers he doesn’t want to. Ella admits the charming Jack is sexy as hell. But if she lets her guard down will he break her heart?

As sparks fly and heat rises drawing them irresistibly closer, Jack and Ella will have to decide if they’re playing house . . . or playing for keeps.

Love this story.

this is one of my all time favorite books! read it so many times so just had to listen to the audible version as well.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!

After the weight of reading book 2 in this series (A very good story, just a lot to take in and process!), it was great to read this book which had so much joy, energy, and flavor! I loved seeing Jack fall head over heels for Ella! Great one-liners in this book, which I had to listen to again and again! Take Ella’s advice - and you can’t go wrong!

Loved it and loved the narration! I have no complaints at all! Please let us have another series, I have r

read them all way too many times! Love your imagination, your heart and writing style!

My favorite of the series

Smooth Talking Stranger is my favorite of the Travis series. Just a great story and narration

Great story...even better dialogue

Who else is obsessed with the dialogue?!? I didn’t think I’d like this book, but after the first hour, I was hooked! Luke is adorable and the love story between jack and Ella is fire! Love this story

Loving this series

Love this series and all the characters and the story line enjoy how they flow from each book. Really enjoyed listening to it

Totally craveable

I don’t know why it had taken me so long to read this when I’ve had multiple copies in paperback and digital. Totally regret that. As I’ve said multiple times, Lisa Kleypas has a very distinct contemporary voice compared to her historical style. Her sense of Texas and her intimate knowledge of the differences between the cultures of Houston and Austin are beyond outstanding. And while Hardy Cates is forever my favorite of her contemporary heroes, Jack immediately takes second place. He is probably LK’s horniest hero. Oh and sweet baby Luke. He is the most present baby I’ve ever read. A real character.

I would have already given this book five stars but Brittany Pressley took it up a notch. She’s absolutely brilliant.

Better than I remember!

If you read these book a few years ago, the audiobook is a must!

The Travis men are all so different from one another. Sometimes you want to squeeze the stuffing out of them, while other times you want to wring their necks.

Recommended audiobook with great narration.

I won’t leave details as I would be repeating what is said on the excerpt, and more than that I would be giving away spoilers.

Recommended audiobook! Recommended series!

Read it and reread it already!

Love everything about this story and the narrator. Thank you Lisa Kleypas. Will be reading the whole series. Love your imagination.
