Savor and Intoxicated

Billionaire Bachelors Club #3-3.5

by Monica Murphy

New York Times  bestselling author Monica Murphy’s scorching Billionaire Bachelors Club series continues in this 2- a fiery romance that refuses to be left at the office, and a wedding to remember! Savor Will this billionaire meet his match in the girl who’s been there all along? Smart, sexy Matthew DeLuca is everything Bryn James wants in a man. He’s also her boss—the youngest, hottest vineyard owner in the Napa Valley—and he doesn’t see her as anything more than his shy assistant. That’s all about to change. Armed with a hot new look and an attitude to match, Bryn is determined to catch Matt’s eye. He’s always thought her prim demeanor effortlessly sexy, but Matt can’t deny that Bryn’s transformation is jaw-dropping …and going to make it very difficult to keep his hands to himself. But when one thing leads to another and suddenly Matt is stripping Bryn bare, he’ll be faced with the biggest risk of his career—and his heart. Can he convince her—and himself—that this might just be more than a no-strings office affair?
Intoxicated Bachelors no longer, can these billionaires really have their cake and eat it too? It's Gage and Marina’s wedding day, but wedded bliss seems a  long  way Ivy’s just gone into labor, Marina’s missing her matron of honor, and Bryn’s giving Matt the silent treatment. It’s up to Archer, Gage, and Matt to make sure this day goes off without a hitch. But between brides and babies, there’s the not-so-little issue of the million-dollar bet to attend to. If only they can figure out who won … and who’s paying up. Is everyone a winner? Or will someone leave broke—and brokenhearted?

Oy. I obviously didn't pay attention to the full details of the book when I downloaded it. I didn't realize it was two separate novellas. First up - Savor with Bryn and Matt. Um. I kind of want to say ick but that's not entirely fair to the plot. Matt isn't a creepy guy but he does do some ick behavior when pursuing Bryn. And Bryn - lord. She can't quite figure out who she is. Is she a timid, shy, bland person? Or is she gorgeous and sassy? She's kind of a wet blanket. I can't tell if her character just isn't developed enough or if that is the personality the author wanted for Bryn. This may be a personal issue as I low-key detest wet blanket personality female characters. I also called bullshit on the "gossip" that was leaked about Matt and Bryn. No one is tailing a former MLB player like that AND finding a way to snap a photo of you having sex up against a window high up. Nope. It was a weird "conflict" point to throw in. That leads me to Matt's relationship with his father. There is no resolution with that. No comeuppance for the father for what he did.

This felt like an underdeveloped novella. Too long to not have more details but not long enough to have more details.

And then you have Intoxicated. What. Did. I. Just. Read?

This "epilogue" novella was completely unnecessary. I assume the author wanted to "wrap up" the three couples' stories but in reality, none of it was worth it. I didn't read Archer and Marina's story but the way she was depicted in the epilogue made me not like her, at all. I guess I didn't care for this short story because I didn't read books 1 & 2 and didn't super connect with book 3. So...take that for what you will.

If you loved the first two books, I'm sure this book is great. But for a standalone - skip it.

Quote: "I'm in love with you, Bryn. And I don't want to live without u anymore." - Matt DeLuca

I didn't realize that this was a series when reading this and this bk 2. My one-sentence bk review: OMG HOT TAMALES SPICY!!! I do recommend this if u love build up spice between characters. Gage & Marina was like the relationship I was in (happy single now) in some ways but not married to them, I know how Ivy feels giving birth I'm a mum of 6 as far as Matt & Bryn goes I can't relate to cause I'm my own boss changing careers I can relate to. Book boyfriend would be Archer Bancroft and book girlfriend is Bryn James.

I found this bk in the dollar tree store in my town & this is not a bk u want to read in public oh no especially on a city bus chapter 11 got me all hot blushing face turning red due to the spicy. Lol

I'd give it a 3.5 if I could just for the ease of the stories. Two in one, you get a lot of bang for your Buck if you want some quick reads that are easy to follow and leave you happy. I really liked the first story, the beautiful but shy assistant who is trying to hide her beauty because of how she's treated for it, and the boss who sees something is there... then said assistant decides to go for it and all bets are off. The second story is..forgettable. It's a wedding day and the Maid of Honor has gone into labor, and the couple from the first story are fighting... it was chaotic but not really anything exciting. The first story in the book was definitely better.

this book was better than the first, i liked how mat and byrn was a slowet relationship. i do still feel as though it was rushed and just needed more time for development. all three stories were cute and i loved the "novella" type chapters of intoxicated, seeing everyone's pov and how in love they all are with each other. i definitely feel like its very unrealistic but that's the point of reading books, for the perfect relationships that are in the story. it was good and cute, a good read in between my long series.

This was a trite old and at times annoying story. Of course, she was a poor girl from Texas who was his admin assistant. Then, she constantly questions the negative impact of her extremely beautiful face and body-which is over the top and conceited. The narration of Matt sounds like a small selfish man who is willing to make Brynn his abusive father's next victim and marginally tries to protect her act like a protector. Unbelievable

I want a follow up book on Matt and Bryn! I feel like there so much more untold story here! Doesn’t she develop full confidence? What happens with Matt’s Dad? I want to be a the wedding! It was a good story and better follow up to see what happens with all the other characters but I just want more developments in Matt and Bryn’s relationship!!

My Thoughts: The Billionaire Bachelor Club books are perfect if you want a quick, light-hearted, easy read. Savor focuses on Matt, a retired baseball player now turned businessman, and his assistant Brynn, a small town woman looking to make it in the big city. Intoxicated introduced us to all the fun times ahead of the bachelors in their relationships.

[Uchenna Azogu · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a very love filled book. Savor was definitely a slow burn and Bryn has self esteem issues that Matt is willing to help her with. It was adorable. I like how intoxicated tied their lives together and brought Asher-ivy and Gage-Martina back so we see what happened to their lives after. It was a cute read.

3.5⭐️ I think of Crave, Torn, and Savor, I enjoyed Savor the most. I liked that the pining felt more mutual. In Crave and Torn, those boys were pretty down bad for the ladies almost instantly. Savor felt more like a slow burn and I appreciated that. Intoxicated wrapped up all their stories in a nice little bow.

[Kristen Hale · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a quick read with the perfect combination of small town girl meets rich boy, best friends built in and career success. The Novell jumped around a bit but all in all the story line was great.

[Julie Crawford · Rating 4 out of 5]

This 2 for 1 was good. We got Matt’s quick romance story, and I loved him and Bryn. We got to catch up on everyone’s lives in the second half of the book which was great to see too.

It was actually really cute. I enjoyed the wedding part and how Matt falls in love. I did still didn’t enjoy some of the characters but..Archer and Ivy having the baby was adorable.

Overall Review: A great way to end the Billionaire Bachelors Club. I loved Matt and Bryn's story in Savor, and Intoxicated was a cute update for all of them. This series was something new and a fast burn. It was easy to read because of the writing style. Good job, Monica!

I love these couples! They need more love!
