I nearly had it all: a successful football career, money flowing like a waterfall, and women dropping at my feet. I was living life to the max until some pretty harsh weather conditions ended my career and ruined the rest of my life.
I turned into someone I didn’t know and didn’t like and became the laughingstock of my family. They all expected me to knock up a hooker. I don’t blame them. I made a lot of mistakes.
My injury is getting worse. I’ve tried to cover it up and hide it from everyone, but I can’t hide anymore. If I leave it too long... Well, let’s just say that isn’t an option for me. Not when I’ve fought so hard to get back on my feet.
Just when I think the universe has a major grudge against me, she puts Brook Fielding back on my radar. I had the biggest crush on her. More than a crush. I was in love, but I didn’t do anything about it, because I knew she’d turn me down.
But I’m not a horny footballer anymore. I’m a grown man, and this time, I’m not going to let her get away.

With every little glimpses of Carter in the previous books of this story, my perspective of him has changed, with him receiving his own book.

She’s the one he’s always loved and pined afar for. And now thanks to a chance encounter and some forced proximity, some magic happens.

Carter is such a sweet and caring guy, despite how he portrays himself. Brook was absolutely perfect for him, the way she cares and didn’t take any of his bullsh!t!

With so much tension and so many smexy moments, once they both realised what the wanted in each other, it was such a beautiful moment. The electric chemistry from their friendship and now into a romantic relationship was on fire!
They both tried to fight their attraction, but it was so clear from their interactions that they couldn’t resists each other.

Martina Dale delivers a captivating sports romance in The Pitch, seamlessly blending ambition, emotional depth, and undeniable chemistry. At the heart of the story is Carter, a former football (soccer) star whose career was tragically cut short by injury. Now a billionaire, he’s built a new life as owner of the club he once lived and played for. But when his past comes knocking in the form of Brook, a talented physiotherapist working for another team, their worlds collide once more.

What makes this story shine is the layered connection between Carter and Brook. Their past history lingers beneath the surface, creating tension that is both emotional and electric. Carter’s struggle to reconcile who he was with who he is now adds depth to his character, while Brook’s unwavering dedication and compassion make her a standout. Watching them navigate their connection while balancing their careers adds a compelling push and pull that keeps you engaged throughout.

The audiobook performance truly elevates the experience. Dahlia Summers’ British accent brings an authenticity and warmth to Brook, making her both relatable and strong. Hugo Locke fully embodies Carter, delivering his emotions, from frustration to vulnerability, with a rawness that makes him feel real. Their narration enhances the tension, banter, and emotional beats, making every scene more immersive.

For those who love a well-developed second-chance romance with a sports backdrop, The Pitch is a must-listen. With compelling characters, sizzling chemistry, and stellar narration, this audiobook delivers, y’all!

Carter Blackmoore is the ex pro footballer who’s career was taken from him after a terrible accident which left him with injuries not only on the outside but the inside as well but when Brook is thrown back into his life as his physiotherapist he can’t quite believe his luck. They knew each other before his accident and she was even there when it happened but they never saw each other again after, but both of them thought what if?

Carter is the joker but is always hiding behind his jokes as deep down his injuries plague him causing him to throw up his shields but when he has no other options but to try intensive physio Brook starts to break them down even though she tries her hardest to resist Carter’s charms she was always going to fall.

Martina always manages to write real characters with real problems making them feel authentic, with the added mix of humour and heart you can’t help but love Carter and Brook.

So happy to have listened to another book in this series!

With The Pitch on audio, both narrators definitely kept my attention really well. This is probably one of the more enjoyable dual narration audiobooks I've listened to because of how the narrators really distinguished voices in their character's POV chapters.

The story itself was interesting and did keep my attention but I didn't find myself very engaged with the plot at times. Still a good read and I'm glad I got to listen The Pitch as an ALC.

CARTER

But said injury brought back someone in his life in an unexpected way..
but used to being the joker of the the family and not used to being able to commit to any relationship.. Carter soon found himself well over his head with Brook Sheilds whom he can’t seem to let go.

BROOK
Down on her luck and running several jobs just to keep a roof over her head was so in luck when she met Carter Blackmoore once again,
The handsome man who she thought wouldn’t give her the time of day was now offering her more than she could dream of.
But could she risk the chance of getting involved with her client even if he happens be hot, sweet and downright irresistible?


🤍⚽️🤍
From the beginning Carter had always had a crush on Brook and the moment he set eyes on her he knew he wasn’t going to let her get away from him again.
These two were hilarious and sizzling hot together I loved the way how Dahlia Summers and Hugh Locke protrayed these characters and light up each scenes, the banter between the brothers was incredible as we get a glimpse into their lives, it was a fantastic audiobook that was beautifully written!

A must read/Listen for sure and a fantastic addition to the Blackmoore Brothers series as

Love heals all, second chance romance

Yet another fantastic book from this extremely talented author.

I’ve loved the Blackmoore Brothers series so far and the Moral Compass stories were incredible too… but I have to admit, I wasn’t sure about Carter when we first met him in his brothers books. He came across as an arrogant, self-important womaniser who only thought about himself and getting his rocks off with any woman that threw herself at him.

Now he’s got his own story, we get to see the real man behind the bravado… and oh my, oh my… he’s quickly become my favourite Blackmoore brother. Now I understand the reasons behind his personality and front he shows people, I get it.

Carter was a young talented premiership football player… destined for greatness and notoriety… but a tragic accident on the pitch cuts his career dead. He loses everything he’s ever dreamed of in a freak accident. Physically he’s not fully recovered, although he won’t let on to anyone just how much he’s still struggling but when he’s told he might lose what little mobility he has regained, he gives in to the advice of his specialists.

What he doesn’t expect is for his specialist treatment to be placed in the hands of the one woman he’d fantasised about before his whole life changed.

Physiotherapist, Brook Fielding is the one woman who can get Carter back on his feet but his reluctance and obstinacy make it hard work. But she’s determined not to let him push her away because he won’t let anyone help him.

There’s also the slight issue of the overwhelming and powerful attraction between them. Even though she sets clear rules about them being in close proximity, it doesn’t last long and neither does their resolve.

But will the womanising hotshot be tamed by the down-to-earth care giver? Will they ever admit how they truly feel? And even if they do, will it be enough to forge a future together?

Absolutely loved this story and this amazing couple. Brook doesn’t take any of crap and isn’t afraid to call him out if he’s on the wrong. Carter also knows that Brook is different to all the women who have flitted in and out of his life (and his bed). She’s a breath of fresh air for him, and he knows it. All he needs to do is convince himself that he’s worthy of having something so real and good in his life that doesn’t require his wealth.

Great read… fabulous series… amazing author.

It's fascinating how characters can evolve and reveal new depths when given the spotlight in their own story. Carter's journey from a seemingly arrogant womaniser to a deeply complex and relatable character is a testament to the power of understanding and second chances. Initially introduced as a self-absorbed football star, his narrative takes a poignant turn following a career ending incident on the pitch. This unexpected twist not only strips him of his dreams but also reveals the vulnerabilities beneath his bravado. Enter Brook Fielding, the dedicated physiotherapist who becomes his unexpected ally and love interest. Her determination to help Carter regain his mobility and her refusal to let him hide behind his defences sparks a powerful transformation in him. Their undeniable chemistry and the emotional depth of their interactions make for a compelling love story. Brook's no-nonsense approach and Carter's gradual self-discovery create a narrative rich in redemption and romance. Ultimately, the story explores themes of self-worth, healing, and the courage to embrace love, making Carter and Brook's relationship a heartfelt and inspiring journey.
The audiobook performance truly elevates the experience, offering a rich and captivating layer to the story. Dahlia Summers’ British accent provides authenticity and warmth to the character of Brook, making her both relatable and strong. Her voice adds depth to Brook's personality, bridging the gap between reader and character. Meanwhile, Hugo Locke fully embodies Carter, delivering his emotions with a rawness that captures frustration and vulnerability, making him feel extraordinarily real. Their skilled narration enhances the tension, banter, and emotional beats, transforming each scene into an immersive experience. The combination of their voices creates a dynamic interplay, drawing listeners deeper into the narrative and leaving a lasting impression.

A Beauty of a Story!

Since beginning this series I’ve always wanted to know more about Carter and Martina gives us a beauty of a story!

Carter is a billionaire who’s football career has been cut short from a horrific injury that left him unable to play anymore. When the club he played for was struggling he decided to buy it and try and turn the club around to be the great club it once was.

Brook, is trained as a physiotherapist and is working three jobs just to get by and pay the rent. Their paths have crossed before when she was a trainee physio at his club when he had the accident, but after the club went under she had to find a new job to continue her education.

Carter has always been a very private person, none of his family know that he still suffers from the injury that ended his career and when his doctor suggests that he has intensive physio to help his and Brooke’s paths cross again.

~
Brooke

Carter Blackmoore is dangerous. Not in a violent way, but dangerous to your heart.

~

Their is an attraction there instantly and Brooke is very aware of Carter’s reputation that proceeds him but Carter has always admired her and how she is as a person. Even though their relationship should be of a professional nature they both give in to their desire for each other.

I love the fact that Brooke doesn’t back down when the pair go toe to toe about Carter’s health and she ultimately has his best interests at the forefront of everything she does.

And Carter, well he adores her and will do anything for her (as you’ll find out). His persona becomes more true and he is a better person for having Brooke in his life.

~
Carter

“Of course. It doesn’t matter which bed I sleep in, it only matters that I wake up with you in my arms.”

~

We get snippets from all the Blackmoore brothers and their families which was great to read. I am so looking forward to Drew’s story!

5⭐|4🌶|3🥵

I got an ARC copy of this book to write an honest review.


"Am I a snob? Yes, I am."
God... Yes, this book is one of the books I have been waiting for months. I needed to know what's the problem with Carter 😎
Do I think he is a snob? Before I read his story, I would have said YES. And now? I won't tell you. But what I'll tell you is, I LOVE CARTER. He is so f*cking HOT.
I really don't know what I can write right now.
Brooke is so cute and so completely different than Carter. He is a billionaire, and she has 3 jobs and still struggles to pay her rent.
Carter is a man wh0re, a playboy (like all his brothers btw). She isn't a virgin, but she hasn't had many boyfriends yet.
Sounds like a perfect couple, right? At least in books 😁 But we all know as perfect it will be at the end (and I don't think I say too much, because we all know there is always a happy end), it isn't easy to get to this point. Especially because Carter isn't easy to be with after his accident 10 years ago. To see your career ending with only 18 years, WOW. And it was a huge accident. Luckily he is still alive and HOT 🤩
Oh, did I tell you that he is HOT? No, OK, so then I'll do that now. Carter Blackmoore is HOT. He is definitely my favorite Blackmoore so far. I can't say if he will be forever because I first need to read Drew's story, but right now, it's Carter 🩷

And now it's time to wait... AGAIN 🙈 Until Drew, the fourth Blackmoore brother's story will be out... Am I crazy that I already need this story NOW?

Since beginning the Blackmoore Brothers series, I have been quietly anticipating Carter’s story. Martina Dale you did not disappoint with The Pitch!

Carter Blackmoore is a bit of a lad which I feel was exacerbated by his horrific career ending injury. Still wanting to be involved with the sport he loves, Carter becomes the owner of the club, and sets his sights on making his club successful again.

Keeping to himself, Carter continues to suffer from his injury, affecting his everyday. He feels he is the joker, the player, the let down of the family! With this playing on his mind, his doctor suggests a more specialised therapy.

Since college Brook has always had a love of football. This spurred her on to study to be a sports physiotherapist. Now armed with experience she has been assigned to assess and treat none other than Carter Blackmoore!

Turns out they had crossed paths earlier with Carter crushing on her big time. Brook took Carter’s ruthless, brash and ever growing gentle nature in her stride. Her focus is on providing the best care and treatment for Carter, and she certainly doesn’t hesitate to put him in his place when the need arises. This back and forth between them was one of my favourite moments of their story.

Dahlia Summers and Hugo Locke do a fantastic job of bringing Brook and Carter’s characters to life.

Hugo, the banter with all the female English accents is so well done. Each character is easily distinguishable.

Dahlia, your ability to portray the feisty Brook is effortless. Oh and your male voice is so, so good! Made me think this was duet and not a dual performance.

Thank you Martina for another entertaining book in The Blackmoore Brothers series.

Thank you to Blue Nose Audio for an Advanced Listener Copy for my honest review.

**Audio Review**

The Pitch is a great addition to the Blackmoore Brothers series. What we learn of Carter from the previous books paints him as a womanizer, someone who will never settle down. Getting to dive a little deeper into him as a character was really enjoyable.

Carter is an ex-pro footballer who is struggling to find what he wants out of his life after a career-ending injury. His family seems to expect the worst from him and his injury is only getting harder to deal with. Enter Brook, a physical therapist who he met years ago and used to have a huge crush on. The journey through Carter's healing process, both physically and emotionally, was really intense at times - he certainly didn't make Brook's job easy. And yet, when they are placed back into each others' orbit, sparks begin to fly and feelings are rekindled.

Brook has been down on her luck and working three jobs just to barely scrape by. When the opportunity is presented to work with a somewhat-famous clientele, she jumps at the opportunity to have some extra cash flow. What she doesn't expect is to be assigned to Carter - she was present years ago when his injury was sustained, and she knows of his reputation. Brook was a really fun FMC, she didn't take any crap from Carter and kept him in line.

The narrators, Dahlia Summers and Hugo Locke, were both new to me and I think they did a great job. The accent work was done well and consistently, and their performances were engaging.

Thank you to Martina and Blue Nose Audio for the opportunity to review this audiobook.

I received an ALC from Bluenose audio and this is my review. Performed by Dahlia Summers and Hugo Locke. Live on all plateform.

Book 3 in the Blackmoore Brothers series, we follow Carter and Brooke. I'm not gonna lie, Carter wasn’t my favorite brother but I was curious about him. Martina made me change my mind.
We know him as a Billionnaire, playboy, ex-football player who's now the owner of the team for which he played. Brooke is a physiotherapist, the best in her field of expertise. She has to work 3 jobs to save money. Her and Carter met when he was playing football and she was a trainee physiotherapist in the same team. When Carter's accident happen, leaving him with a bad injury and causing the end of his career they lost contact. Many years later, Carter's leg is getting worst and need physiotherapy. And the only person who can treat him? Brooke, the woman he never forgot. And this time he's ready to do everything to keep her.
Carter is a private and I knew he was more than what we saw of him in the previous books. Brooke and him have my heart. They have great chemistry so the spice is good but there's also a lot of romance. They have good banter too. A physio with a patient is not the best the idea but they can't denied their feelings and I love how serious Brooke is about the success of the treatment. And the same for Carter, not only for him but for her too. I won't say more but these 2 are perfect for each other!
The narrators are new to me both they did an amazing job. Dahlia's British accent is really good. Listening the book was a pleasant experience.
Now I can't wait to know more of Drew, the last Blackmoore Brother. 🙂

EXTRAORDINARY!!!

*ALC review*

I absolutely love love love loved this beautiful book from start to finish. I actually finished this beautiful book on March 9 but I’ve been too busy to do my review but here I am. I absolutely love Brooke’s and Carter’s love story. I absolutely love the fact that he fell 1st and hard. His attraction to her has no bounds and I was rooting for him throughout the story. Carter is hands-down, my favorite brother because he knows what he wants and he wants Brooke in every possible way.

Carter is one of the best golden retriever heroes I’ve come across this year and I ate it up like there was no tomorrow. Learning about Carter‘s past truly broke my heart at times because he was so insecure about his leg. Brooke has so many insecurities that at times I wanted to give her a massive hug. Carter truly is the best for Brooke because he knows what her self-worth is which intern gives her the strength to have confidence in our self.

If you absolutely love a golden retriever, who is loyal to his one true love, you need to get this book today you won’t be disappointed. Martina, you truly outdid yourself with this beautiful book that we have a special place in my heart. There’s something about your writing that has me hooked line and sinker. Thank you so so much for writing this beautiful book.

Audiobook Review: Blackmoore Brothers #3 The Pitch by Martina Dale

This book really threw me for a loop! We meet Carter, a former goalie whose career was cut short by a tragic injury. Now, he owns the club and is working hard to bring it back to the top. Based on what I read about him in the previous books, I expected him to be a self-absorbed playboy, but I was pleasantly surprised. Carter turned out to be caring, supportive, and incredibly protective. He’s also secretly dealing with a lot of physical pain and has been referred to a therapist for help.

Then there’s Brook—well, re-enters Brook. She was there when Carter got injured, but after the club went under, she moved on. Now, she’s struggling, working three jobs just to get by. When she gets the chance to work with a high-end client, her path crosses with Carter’s again. Sparks fly, and despite their best efforts, they can’t fight their attraction. You’ll have to read the book to see how it all plays out!

The voice actors were both new to me, but I really enjoyed them. Dahlia Summers brought Brook’s sassiness to life perfectly, and Hugo Locke did a fantastic job portraying Carter’s playful yet caring nature.

Overall, both the story and narration were great—I highly recommend this book!

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW:

Story - ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Spice - 🌶 🌶 🌶
Narration - ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

The Pitch is book #3 in The Blackmoore Brothers series and whew, it is just another amazing story in this hot, billionaire series. Carter Blackmoore lost his football (soccer) career but now owns a club (team) in England. Years ago, he had a connection with the team physiotherapist, Brook, but she didn't date the footballers. Fate has brought these two together again and Carter is determined to not let her get away. He doesn't feel worthy of Brook and sees himself as the family failure. Brook doesn't feel worthy of Carter because of fame and fortune. Oh, this story was so good, with so many heartwarming moments, spice, and passion...gah, I couldn't stop listening. This is a standalone, but you should definitely read these in order to avoid MAJOR spoilers. I absolutely adore the interaction between the brothers. And Drew...oh, the woman that tames him is going to be a BEAST! I can't wait for more.

The narration was fantastic! Hugo Locke isn't a new narrator to me so I knew he would bring a solid performance. Dahlia Summers is new to me and I absolutely loved her (she sounds a LOT like Keira Knightley). These two were perfect to voice Carter and Brooke. 5/5 stars!!

Carter is a playboy, troublemaker, even his brothers believe he causes the havoc and brings the drama and there’s a fair amount of proof in books 1 and 2 of the series. In this book we discover he wasn’t always like this, he was still someone who got what he wanted, he was a hardworking and driven professional football player focused on the sport. Then a career ending accident meant his life was turned upside down, he was lucky to be able to walk away but it was impossible for him to walk away from the sport and when his team, Southland United went into administration he bought the club and became focused on getting them back into the Premiership.

Brook’s life has been tough the last few years and she’s having to work several jobs to make ends meet. It’s at one of these jobs she crosses paths with Carter again. Brook was a trainee physiotherapist at Southland United and was there when Carter was a player but she had to move jobs. Now responsible for his treatment they’re spending a lot of time together and Carter’s old obsession with her is back with force.

The transition from professional relationship to more is quick due to their existing attraction but although they are drawn to each other, there’s a lot that they both need to address and work on before they can have a healthy relationship.

It was great to see Carter, the playboy who mocked his brothers for settling down come undone for Brook showing his caring and protective side.

I enjoyed being back with the Blackmoore family and relatives and I am looking forward to finding out more about the mysterious Drew.

Loved this book!

This is book 3 in The Blackmoore Brothers series, we were given little snippets of Carter in the first 2 books. But he's nothing like you expect. Don't get me wrong, he's a Joker and a player, but he's also good at hiding the pain he's suffering from his injury that ended his career. He's really quite charming and caring but hides it well.
He was definitely not what I was expecting.

Brook is totally fiesty and keeps him on his toes and certainly puts him in his place. She doesn't care about his money she just wants to help him be pain-free. These, two, certainly have chemistry and the banter, I loved that we got a little more of the brothers and their girls, and Drew, I really can't wait for his book.
Another ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read that didn't disappoint. You did it again, Martina another brilliant read.

This can be read as a standalone, but better read in order.

I really liked Carter, even though he was somewhat of a manhoo when it came to women, but it's not really surprising when you hear his backstory.

So far as Brook was concerned, she irritated me immensely with her inverted snobbery and constant whingeing! I also couldn't understand her attachment to the crummy house, apart from the memory of her mum. Thank goodness for Evie who was a really good egg. I was sorry she couldn't have been the FMC!

Carter was dreamy once you get to know him and it was lovely how Brook brought out the best in him. I only hope he manages to improve her too!

I'm now looking forward to hearing about Drew!

I enjoyed the dual narration by new to me narrators Dahlia Summers and Hugo Locke

This is the 3rd book in The Blackmoore Brothers series but can be read as a standalone. This book is about Carter Blackmoore and Brooke, and it’s my favorite so far. I love a good “womanizer falls for his soulmate” story and Carter was quite the playboy until Brooke came back into his life. This book was the most British in the series and also the funniest. Great banter abounded. The audiobook was dual narration with new-to-me narrators Dahlia Summers and Hugo Locke. Both narrators did a great job with the opposite gender voices and the switches back and forth from English to American accents. The relationship between the Blackmoore brothers has been lovely to witness throughout the series. Overall, I enjoyed listening to this book and look forward to Drew’s story.

Former football/soccer star Carter has a traumatic injury previously and is now struggling with the day today that he had finally achieved. As a result, he needs a specialized physiotherapis in walks Brooke. No matter how many boundaries she puts up and how many reasons she convinces herself to say no she can’t deny Carter and the special something they have between each other. I listen to this as an audiobook and the narrators really did a good job of potraying the characters nd their emotional state . Icing on the cake, the accents weren’t terrible. Nothing drive me nuttier than a bad accent when listening to a book. Definitely worth a listen or a read I’m not one for sports romance, but I really enjoyed this one.

Great continuation in the series, I love these Blackmoore brothers! Carter is the broody angry brother since his accident that ruined his sports career, but once Brooke enters his life again, the game is on. This was a cute second chance romance, billionaire, sports romance. This couple was just as cute as the others. Although Ruby is still my favorite FMC. Everyone making a presence in this one that was in the other ones, is always my favorite to see the continuation of the characters we already have met and love. Can’t wait to meet Drew….
The narration on this was good, both narrators did a good job with the dialogue and accents.

This is the third book in The Blackmoore Brothers Series, a Sports Romance. It's a great addition to the series. Carter and Brook's story is passionate, funny, and engaging, filled with humor and suspense. Carter, a former footballer and billionaire, is enigmatic, charming, and handsome. Brook, a physiotherapist, is beautiful, smart, and sassy. I liked the banter, the sizzling chemistry, and the sweet romance. Some scenes are hilarious. The supporting characters are great. I love the Blackmoore's and enjoyed their humorous banter. Dahlia Summers and Hugo Locke did a fantastic job bringing these characters and this story to life. I enjoyed it. #BlueNoseAudio

Another winner from Martina in my opinion. I totally loved Carter in this book. Where oh where do I find him? He was beyond thoughtful in my opinion and you can see that in all his actions with Brook. Brook drove me crazy at times though as she would get mad and never really communicate with Carter properly. I also couldn't understand why she would allow Evie to stay rent free when she makes comments that she's struggling to pay the rent, already behind in rent etc. To me that showed total lack of maturity. Overall, it was a great addition to the Blackmoore brother series.

Wow, this is another great book from Martina. Since the beginning of this series, I have needed Carter's book. This man loves his women but Oh did Brook knock him on his backside. Brook was incredible because she was so focused on her goals. (Girl Power) Brook did not expect a man like Carter. These two together were so hot that I ended up drinking a big glass of cold water. The chemistry was just as intense. I really enjoyed this couple. Did I like the other couples? Yes, but Carter and Brook have my heart.

Loved This Story

I so much enjoy this Authors writing style & I am loving this series. This book definitely did not disappoint at all. I throughly enjoyed reading about Carter & Brook. This story was a roller coaster of emotions which as the reader, I absolutely loved. There was just enough steam and plenty of romance. Just a great story overall. These characters are some of my favorite that I’ve read in a series. Cannot wait to read more from the Author she’s a Favorite of mine.

Ohhh Carter. This man is simply so misunderstood but so beautifully caring. Yes he says things before his brain engages but he means no harm.
And Brook, she gave him a run for his money! She weren't no pushover. They cared for eachother so much and both just went for it. No dilly dallying about. Jumped in with two feet.
These two are so well suited. Their chemistry and friendship and banter is on point. Another great book in this series and another amazing book by the talented Martina.

❤️📖 This is the 3th book in The Blackmoore brothers series, release day 30.1.2024 📖❤️

Carter Blackmoore - if you´ve read the previous books of the series it was not hard to hate him a little.
But this picture of him made me actually believe he is going to get a great story. And he did.

Carter- at first sight spoiled billionaire -shows he is more, a sensitive man, who had to fight and work hard after loosing his dream carier, who doesn´ give up easily.
He sees himself as a big disapointment for his family, until Brook comes back into his life.

They both have incredible chemistry, Carter is ready to make Brook his, but she is well aware of his reputation and social status. She doesn´t care about his wealth and her job is nbr.1 for her, so as her new boss she is ready to fight her own feelings and stay professional.

But everytime she is around Carter it gets harder and harder ( he has his ways 🥵🥵🥵)

I enyojed this story, this couple, their chemistry, banter. How Brook suprised Carter everytime, when she didn´t give a f..k about his wealth. Her priority to make him painless altough he was so stubborn.

I love we met Kane and Brax with girls again and we get a little more of Drew - the last Blackmoore brother too.

This book brings us Carter & Brook I loved these two from the beginning and was so invested in their journey. The banter, chemistry and push and pull between them made me giddy.
Carter was full of swagger and confidence but deep down he was caring and thoughtful and wanted the best for those he loved. Brook is all full of sass and kept Carter on his toes.

Brilliant addition to this series and I was howling and "Mr Plastic Fantastic"

I really enjoyed this book. At first I didn’t think I would like carters character and then he showed who he really was-a sweet, loving, generous man. Their love story was very sweet and Carter never wavered in his feelings. I had never heard these voice actors before but I really Enjoyed their story telling. If you like golden retriever billionaires and sweet, hardworking women, you’ll like this book.

You have pulled it out of the bag again Martina ❤️ carter is well carter cheeky, flirty and definitely has a reputation however things are drastically going to change when a blast from the past appears. Brooke is the only person that can give him his life back in more ways then one and she will get to see the real carter but will he mess it up
