Synopsis: Big-city sophistication meets carnal hunger in this devilish contemporary romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.
Heir apparent to her father’s company, Lizzy Banks needs a man. The perfect man. But when the rich “fundbabies” she usually rubs shoulders with prove impossible to hire, she takes a chance on a raw beast of a man salvaged from the wreckage of a bar brawl.
James Rowan earns a modest income as a YouTube daredevil, but he can’t refuse Lizzy’s million dollar deal. As she polishes his rough edges, creating a sophisticated gentleman fit for the highest circles of society, not only does she bring out the perfect man—it’s like she’s making the man of her dreams. How can she resist?
Though Lizzy loves seeing James in his clothes—and out of them—he isn’t the kind of man you bring home to Daddy. Her father’s disapproval and the pressure of the campaign have her eyeing the straight and narrow, but Lizzy’s finding it awfully hard to resist the devil on her shoulder…
This is my first read from this author, which is surprising because she's released books that a lot of people recommend lol! I then received an email from the publisher about being on the blog tour for this book and it sounded interesting, so I decided to review it! After reading this book, I'm sort of in two minds about it! I loved the way the plot developed and the relationship development between the two main characters, but I didn't really agree with one character being changed to fit another's specifications! I did love the romance in the plot and the way it developed! It allowed for a few seriously hot scenes too and plenty of sexual tension! There wasn't any action or suspense in the plot, but the romance was definitely enough to keep me interested! The characters were amazing and made this book better! Lizzy was the main female character, and in this book she worked hard to prove to her father that she was competent at her job and that she could do any job that her father asked of her! I felt like Lizzy was too focused on work in this book though and that she needed to let loose and have some fun! Her love interest did change things for her and she started to unravel more and realised that work wasn't everything! Lizzy came a long way in this book and I liked her more and more as the plot developed! James was the main male character and love interest of Lizzy! I loved James a lot in this book! He was very funny and he was very straight with Lizzy! James had also lost important people to him and looked after his younger brother! This made me have a lot of respect for him because he wanted his brother to succeed and do something with his life! James also came a long way in this book and he realised who was really important in his life and this changed his perspective a lot! This book was written from both Lizzy and James' point of views and I was kinda expecting it to be after I read the synopsis because it makes it sound like it's going to be written from dual point of view, so I'm really happy it was! It helped me connect and understand Lizzy and James more and it allowed for a few more things to happen, especially as they were both dealing with their own problems and had their own goals! I thought that this book was a standalone before I read it and whilst I was reading it, but I discovered that there's going to be a second book that continues Lizzy and James' story! I'm really excited to read it and I can't wait to find out how their story is going to end! It also says that it releases in July, which isn't long of a wait at all! I can't wait to check out this author's other books too! I have a few of them on my Kindle, so I can't wait to read more from her and see what other books she's going to release in the future! The cover for this book is also absolutely perfect for it! It suits the photography/model side of the plot and is seriously hot! It would draw me to the book as well and the cover model is the perfect James too! Big thank you to Katy, Montlake Romance and Netgalley for an ARC of Million Dollar Devil!
