M. Robinson has done it again by making me fall in love with the characters she writes. The connection and desire between them was written so well, as I could not get enough of them.
Aires and Bailey were made for each other and he made sure to let everyone know this.
Aires is a the bad boy going after Hollywoods sweetheart. Is she able to tame his bad boy streak…
The way Aires cared for Bailey and how possessive and protective he was of her really made me fall in love with him throughout the book.
I am a sucker for a second chance romance and this sucked me in for sure. There is also so much spice (which I do love) but also a really well written plot which truly made this book so enjoyable for me. I cannot wait to read the next book in this series when it comes out.

Aires may be a successful actor, but it is actions in his personal life that is causing him difficulty. He has a reputation, which he has earned and needs to overcome, and that includes being cast in an upcoming movie but for that to happen he needs to pretend to be in a relationship with his co-star Bailey. He knows this will help his career but that is secondary when it comes to Bailey.

Bailey’s reputation couldn’t be more different than Aires as she has always been professional both when she is on camera and off. She and Aires share a past but even though they are now very different people the connection between them is just as strong and that is when the angst really begins.

Aires and Bailey take us on an emotional rollercoaster that is filled with secrets, surprises and hot chemistry as they have a lot to overcome if this is going to be their second chance or if it will end in heartbreak.

Vicious Tycoon was so hot that my kindle was sizzling! But what stole my heart is the breathtaking connection between Bailey & Aires! It’s almost as if time stopped and they were the only two people in the room no matter who was there! They had this beautiful gravitational pull proving their hearts and souls were bound for life! The way Aires protected Bailey regardless of the consequences was amazing! It made me fall even harder for him! I loved the cameos from some older characters too! Bailey was sweet but also a firecracker at the most important times! Seeing the vulnerable side of Aires hit me right in the heart. This captivating story had me swooning and falling in love over and over again!

Vicious Tycoon by M Robinson is the second book in the Million Dollar Men and it was sooo good! I have been a long time reader of Ms. Robinson, and I can say with 100% certainty that she continually amazes me with her writing.

Aires and Bailey were phenomenal characters! The connection between the two was palpable, and they lit up the pages with their chemistry. I loved watching their story unfold and I was honestly glued to the pages needing to know how it was all going to play out.

Overall, Vicious Tycoon is a must-read for fans of steamy romance and intense drama. M. Robinson delivers a compelling story filled with passion, betrayal, and redemption, proving once again why she is the queen of romance! Highly recommend reading it!

This is a captivating second chance romance that I couldn't put down. Aires, the bad boy of Hollywood, and Bailey, America's sweetheart, share a sizzling chemistry as former childhood co-stars reunited for a new film. The writing is spicy and heartfelt, showcasing M. Robinson's talent for creating compelling love stories. If you enjoy second chance romances with well-developed characters and steamy scenes, this book is a must-read.

This page-turner is light, swoon worthy and hot, oh so hot. I couldn't put it down!
Aires is an alpha character with a short fuse when need it. However, the overprotectiveness is not over the top and it doesn't overpower Bay's agency, which I actually love.
I have also enjoyed, very much, that the drama was kept short and sweet, choosing to focus on the relationship building.
Cherry on top of the Sundae: the cameos!

I am a sucker for Hollywood romance and a bigger sucker for second generation love stories! M. Robinson brings a wickedly sexy and emotional second chance romance set in the glamorous yet treacherous world of Hollywood. I love to read about bad boys and their good girls who are not so good with their bad boys!

Aires hit every single point for an amazing alpha hero. Cocky. Ahole for everyone but total goner for Bailey. He is outrageously sexy and swoony and deliciously dirty. Bailey always walked a straight line and she is America's princess but the truth is she is has been manipulated and used by her own team. She is so sweet but has a hidden vixen side that is unraveled by Aires. Working together in an island for an epic movie as the lead brought back all their hidden feels. They never stopped loving each other but Hollywood is a tough place. But Aires is done with standing at sidelines. He comes in big and hard with his grand gestures and his relentless seduction and above all..showing Bailey that she is his everything. It's set in the world of glitz, fame and money that adds elements of drama to the angsty love story.

Vicious Tycoon was right down the middle enjoyable for me.

It's a full standalone in this series and like the first, there is some crossover from a previous series, which was nice.

I enjoyed the plot and how things played out. It's fairly fast-paced in terms of how things progressed time-wise. There isn't alot of depth to the characters, and while that fit the plot and how the rest of the book was written, I wanted more on what made Aires who he is today (this was very glazed over). So I struggled with seeing the vicious side of him, except when he acted aggressively towards others who tried to harm Bailey.

There is a decent amount of spice in this book, which fits the relationship between Bailey and Aires. You could see these two were attracted to one another and growing up as child actors, that definitely allowed them to bond more on another level.

Overall, it was nice, easy romantic read with some nice schmexy scenes.

Vicious Tycoon is the second installment within the Billion-Dollar Men Series by author M. Robinson can be read as a stand-alone novel.

Aires and Bailey have scorching chemistry that sets the pages ablaze, but other than that, I felt like this was a mid read for me.

This book was a bit different from how the author writes in terms of not giving us much backstory as compared to the other books she's written (which I love!)

These are second-generation characters, and it was great to read up on what everyone in their respective stories have been up to.

The plot twist was good, and I kind of predicted it, but it was definitely written well. Overall, this is a quick read, and I look forward to Luke's story, Filthy Mogul, releasing August 1st.

As always, I'd like to thank the author for providing me with an Advanced Reader Copy. These are greatly appreciated ❤️

Vicious tycoon follows second generation character Bailey and her costar and former flame, Aires. I enjoyed the good girl bad boy of Hollywood vibes. This one had an exotic setting in Australia and the filmmaking added more interest in the plot. Aires is a dreamy bad boy willing to put his woman first and protect her anyway necessary. I loved him throughout this story and enjoyed Bailey, even if Aires stole the show for me.

Vicious Tycoon is a captivating and unique story that follows the lives of Aires and Bailey as they navigate a second chance at love while working on a new film. Despite their challenges, they keep a balance between professional and personal lives.

Aired is known as the bad boy of Hollywood, and Bailey is America’s sweetheart. When these two are together, it's a scorcher. I had to fan myself a time or two,

This book is a rollercoaster ride of emotions, filled with angst, witty banter, and raw, intense feelings. I immensely enjoyed the rollercoaster and didn't want to come off the ride,

Vicious Tycoon is a close second favorite book from the author.

4 Star Review Vicious Tycoon (The Billion Dollar Men #2 )by M Robinson
 
This is the second book in the series and what an emotional, steamy second chance at love story Vicious Tycoon was. 
 
This is Nicholas Aires III and Bailey Pierce-McGraw’s story and it was entertaining with characters whose story you cannot help but fall for.
 
These two could not be more opposite; everyone loves Bailey but Aires reputation is shot. These two have history and if he is to turn his career around he needs to convince Bailey to help.

The chemistry they once had is still as intense and the banter was witty. It was fun to watch the push and pull dynamic of their relationship as it rekindled both professionally and personally.
 
All in all a well written story that will hold you captive from the first chapter to the last.

Aires knows only one person who can help him - Bailey, childhood friend, Hollywood's sweetheart, and all around good girl (sort of). But will she? And what about when she finds out he has an agenda? Their feelings are real now, but this deal he's making just might derail everything, especially their second chance.



Whew, this second chance sizzles! Aires and Bailey have that spark but of course things can't go easily for them, because nothing great is so easily obtained. Although Aires really isn't all that vicious, he is positively feral over his Bailey, and determined to have the second chance they deserve. Bailey is more interesting the more their story is revealed, as her good girl image is shown to be more layered than it appears. I loved this second chance story, now I'm looking forward to Luke's story next, Filthy Mogul.

Author M. Robinson is back with the newest release from The Billion-Dollar Men series that is Vicious Tycoon.
In this Opposites Attract, Forbidden Love with Forced Proximity, book 2 has us following once Childhood Sweethearts, now A List Celebrities Actress Bailey Pierce-McGraw and Actor Nicholas Aires III through the telling of both their POVs.

Let me just say the storyline paved way for an interesting, yet intriguing read, seeing as it wasn’t just following along the journey of Hollywood’s Good Girl Bailey and Bad Boy Aires.
Author Monica gave us real world that was Bailey and Aires meets the movie world that was the film Say You Love Me, given the inclusion of the filmmaking element that had you not only seeing it for yourself but had you witnessing the process of behind and in front of the screen too.

Simultaneously Monica had us following along in Bailey and Aires journey, seeing their characters develop over time given the changes they encountered and faced.
Having ventured through obstacles and hurdles that had them learning with gaining insight and perspective, resulting in their character slowly yet surely showing growth as the story advanced.
Given the difference showcased in how Bailey and Aires were in the beginning to who and how they turned out by the end.

Whether it was the highs from the happiness, sweet and cute adoration and romance given the spicy steam that Monica bought to the table.
Or the lows from the hurt given the heartache, sadness, stress and major angsty-ness. They don’t call M. Robinson Queen of Angst for no reason.
Monica had not only showcased Bailey and Aires experiencing it, but allowed you to feel it too alongside them from seeping through the pages and hitting us readers in what was partly a whirlwind emotional rollercoaster.
Especially with the deeper in-depth scenes that had raw emotions coming to the surface, whether that be on screen or off.

One thing you can definitely count on was the chemistry between Bailey and Aires. Again whether it was on screen or off, there was always sparks flying between the two.
Going from subtle and underlying sizzle that only continued to grow as their lives re-intertwined with one another, to full blown fireworks proved that Bailey and Aires were very much made for each other and that the feelings they once had never truly died. Coming back in full force but with a heck more passion, uninhibited lust and raunchy spiciness, if their steamy moments together were anything to go by.
Something Monica showcased in all the moments shared between the two. Cracking the temperature higher every time resulting in OFF THE CHARTS heat!

All in all, M. Robinson came through in this entertaining yet emotional read that was Vicious Tycoon. With an enjoyable narrative that kept you turning each page in following Bailey and Aires’s journey, it made for a pleasant read overall.

3.5 stars.

I am torn about this book. I've read several books by this author, though it's been a while. I've been anticipating this book for months. I LOVE second chance romance and celebrity romance. Having that story be from an established author that I've enjoyed in the past had me even more excited.

I really liked the characters. And the opening sucked me in immediately. The whole premise --- child actors who grew up on set together and experienced all their firsts together finding each other again as adults and falling in love while filming --- was the perfect setup. And I was so here for it. And I did like the book. I just didn't love it. And that makes me sad because I wanted to love it.

This book was a quick read with minimal angst (which disappointed me because I was expecting it and craving it based on the setup). It was kind of fluffy and light with no 3rd act breakup, barely a disagreement.

I will say the spice in this book is plentiful and on point (if a bit repetitive in places, which I get, you can only describe some things in so many different ways). As I mentioned, I liked the characters a lot, but even by the end of the book, I didn't feel like I knew them. I didn't understand enough of what made them who they were. I felt like a lot of their past was glossed over, which is fine if that's not important. But if it's not important enough to explain, (like saying he's known as Vicious Tycoon, but not really explaining or making a big deal of him renouncing his inheritance) then don't bring it up at all. I never felt like I was really in the characters' heads or hearts.

I also have to admit that I am pretty disappointed in the author's editing team. There were a lot more typos, incorrect words used, loss of position, etc (that made me need to reread things because I was confused) than there should be in a book by such a well-known author. The time jumps that happened within chapters were also confusing because I didn't realize time jumped just because POV changed. These are all things her editing team should've caught and didn't.

I admit that I'm a mood reader, so maybe I wasn't in the right mood for this since I was expecting an angsty story and salivating for it but didn't get it. And that may have made me more prone to noticing errors that I might have read right over had I been completely consumed.

Monica is bringing us her next book in The Billion-Dollar Men. If you are an avid Monica reader she is giving us another next generation and she is going way back. This second chance romance brings in some angst, because it’s Monica and the push and pull is all part of the process. It is heavy on the swoon and heat. Aires is unapologetically who he is. He makes no bones about it once Bailey is back on his radar that he is here for the long game. Bailey has let her team lead her career and life for years. Being around Aires has her feeling like the person she let go to become the star that she is. And, Aires has zero problems using a heavy hand to remind Bailey just how good it feels to be a good girl for him.

‘Our friendship ws something neither one of us could understand or refuse. It was something neither of us could control.
The electricity…
The connection…
The intensity…
It was constantly wavering and waiting for either of us to make the first move. All we had to do was look at each other, and sparks flew.
This was no different.
It was everything.
It was us.’



Nicholas Aires III and Bailey Pierce McGraw are complete opposites. He is the bad boy and she is America's sweetheart. Their story began as children growing up in the industry together on the show Kids Club. Once upon a time they were each other's first everything. But, life happens, Kids Club ended and they went their separate ways and have both enjoyed major success as actors.

While Aires embraced his fame with no shame in his game, Bailey continued to be America’s sweetheart.

Seven years later their paths hardly cross until they end up at the same party. The night will change the trajectory of their lives.

Aires reputation and career needs a hail mary. Bailey owes him. BIG TIME. And, he does not hesitate to call in that favor.

Now co-starring in a film. Their proximity has all the old feelings resurfacing, especially when art begins to imitate life. Their every move is under the microscope. Aires knows exactly what he wants. Bailey is scared.

Then information is leaked, footage from the party they both attended. The same party that had Aires' career almost up in flames. Except the spotlight is not on Aires, but Bailey.

And, once again Aires will do whatever it takes to save his girl.

🅼🆈 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆:

Bailey and Nicholas Aires take us into the world of glamor and showbiz as we delve into the world of productions and movies et al.

I remember when in the previous book we had seen Nicholas asking for return favour from Elias Sinclair and now that he cashed into that favour, I was in for the ride.

Nicholas Aires III, is Hollywood A Lister yet one incident wrecks havoc onto his entire life earned reputation and now his career seems to be in jeopardy.
Not counting the jail time and being under pressure with the ever demanding family of his - there's only one way to get out of it, a movie with the famous producer that can change the entire current course of events.
But is Nicholas ready to pay the price for the conditions that accompany this offer?

I felt swept into a world where real meets the reel and all the lines blur as we experience the entire process of actual witnessing the amazing process of creativeness come to life for the screens, and as Nicholas and Bailey play out their part in the reel life, their real life emotions play havoc stitching back the unresolved feelings of the past and I WAS HERE FOR IT.

It was a treat to remember that Bailey is the grandkid of none other than Mia and Creed. Wow... We are here in the 3rd generation and their cameos was something that I oh so loved.

The tug of war of lust and desires and wild emotions alongwith fighting the issues of being in the spotlight not counting irksome family (Nicholas') and also the fact that Aires has always been an unapologetic bad boy and can the same man be really the obsessed man he seems to be over Bailey?

The banter in this one was crazy amazing and also their spicy times were freaking 🔥🌶️🥵.
Also that ending 😲 and Luke Jameson is next... Yes please.😍
Loved this one.❤️❤️❤️

I am loving this series and don’t get me started on a possessive hero. Swoon. M. Robinson knows exactly what we need and when. Her writing is amazing and this book is spicy! If you haven’t read the writing of M. Robinson, I recommend it.

Aires and Bailey were A-list celebrities. Both were the best, top actress and actor of today. They met when they were kids on a TV show and when the show got canceled they gave up their personal lives for their carries and were pulled in separate directions. They followed each other’s carries, secretly but did not communicate at all. The first time Aires saw Bailey as a woman, he knew that she was his obsession. Everything he ever felt was still there. She was the one person that knew him better than he knew himself. He needed to be close with her again.

Bailey was shocked when she ran into Aires. The feeling she felt for him were something she never understood. She knew that he was the only person that can read her like and open book by just one look. He was the notorious Hollywood’s bad boy and she was America’s sweetheart. She needed to be focus and got get distracted by him. The pull towards him was undeniable. So when a producer asked them to be the lead in his next movie she knew she could not say no.

Aires knew this was his chance to give them a second chance. He did not care about himself or his carrier. He would do anything to be with Bailey and watch her achieve her dreams. He just needed her to see that they were made for each other. He knew from the first moment he saw her again that she has always been the one, his soulmate. Could they drawn out all the noise and be able to be together? Would their publicists and managers allow that or would it be a carrier suicide? One thing he knew for sure is that he was never letting her go and he would hurt anyone that got in the way.

VICIOUS TYCOON is the second instalment in M. Robinson’s contemporary, adult THE BILLION-DOLLAR MEN erotic, romance series. This is twenty-five year olds, former Hollywood child actors Bailey McGraw Pierce, and Nicholas Aires’ story line. VICIOUS TYCOON can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.


Told from dual first person perspectives (Bailey and Aires) VICIOUS TYCOON follows the second chance romance and relationship between our story line couple. Years earlier, Bailey McGraw Pierce and Nicholas Aires were Hollywood child actors then sweethearts but life and everything else got in the way. Fast forward to present day where our couple would meet again, wherein Nicholas Aires find himself taking the fall for the woman he loves. Enter Bailey McGraw Pierce. The studio wants our couple to play sweethearts in an upcoming movie but secrets from the past are about to implode, taking aim at our story line couple, throwing Bailey down a rabbit hole from which she may never return.

The world building focuses on the rekindling romance between our story line couple, a romance that is mirrored in the movie the pair will make but betrayal will break the heart, and vengeance comes at a cost.

The relationship between Bailey and Nicholas aka Aires is one of second chances. Nicholas has never stopped loving our story line heroine but his adult reputation has preceded his reintroduction, and someone else is aiming to take him down. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense.

We are introduced to Bailey’s extended family, as well as her agent Robert: Aires embittered parents, and his agent Thomas.

VICIOUS TYCOON is a story of second chances; of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, acceptance, forgiveness and love. The premise is inviting; the characters are animated ; the romance is seductive.

Reel life & real life ... lines blur

Wow!! VICIOUS TYCOON, book #2 in M. Robinson's The Billion-Dollar Men series, was unputdownable. She has delivered a sexy, emotional, second chance romance where the lines of reel life and real life certainly blur.

Nicholas Aires III is the bad boy of Hollywood, a playboy, and as man whose reputation is far from being squeaky clean. Bailey Pierce-McGraw is the complete opposite, she's Hollywood's sweetheart, a woman who is at the top of her career. As teenagers they co-starred in a television series, fell for each other, but then went their separate ways. Aries has one chance to fix his career, to do so he must convince Bailey to co-star with him in the movie 'Say You Love Me'.

Aires and Bailey sizzled together, both on and off the screen. The angst, banter, and heat between them was simply superb. I loved that their personal and professional lives slowly merged, theirs was a passion which they couldn't dent. Of course, the tabloids are hot on their tales and bring some drama, situations needing to be explained, allowing Aires and Bailey to have each other's backs. Together they were a powerhouse. The scenes of the filming were raw, both allowing real feelings to take over the role of their characters.

VICIOUS TYCOON was hot, raunchy, passionate, a story of romance rekindled. and I couldn't get enough. I fell hard for both Aires and Bailey, they weren't perfect, but they were perfect for each other.

Next up is Filthy Mogul, Luke Jameson's story, and after the ending of this book I can't wait.

Vicious tycoon

“How I’d risk my life to save you, Bay. The panic, the fear, the devastation of losing you… that all felt real to me.”

He softly smiled, reading my mine like I knew he would. The strength. The pull. It was inevitable between us. There was no reason to deny it anymore.

Lights? Check! Cameras? Check? Action, double check! Y’all I was not ready for Aires and Bailey! What I love most about M Robinson books is the way she always intertwines her characters in some way. And this series is extra special because it is a unique spin on next gen! Bailey McGraw is the daughter/granddaughter of one of my favorite families, The Jameson Family and I absolutely loved all of their cameos. I also love how this story stands on its own and is different than the other stories she’s been writing.

Bailey and Aires come from Hollywood royalty. When they met, they were young stars, starring in a hit TV show together and they fell for each other. After giving each other their firsts, the show ended and they went their separate ways… Now, years later, they are back together filming a movie that will skyrocket both their careers. One, I need this movie to actually come to life, but two I love the unique way that Monica weaved in the story from the script, to their story and what they were going through. Also loved the creative looks into the movie and them filming it as well!

Oh and this book is spicyyyyyyyyy. Sheesh the naughty scenes were hottt. These two together are hotttttt! And Aries, is one superrr protective, possessive alpha! You don’t ever touch what is his and add a backwards hat on top of that…. SOLD 🫠 I really enjoyed this book and I cannot wait for the next one in the series! My favorite M Robinson character is Creed Jameson and his son Luke is getting a story! Aaahh I’m so ready! Vicious tycoon is out now and you don’t want to miss this one!

Bailey Pierce-McGraw and Nicholas Aires III have grown up in the spotlight as child actors with fame from both their parents. Bailey is considered America’s sweetheart, a top tier sought after actress, while Aires’s bad boy reputation is catching up with him. Now he needs Bailey to agree to help save his career by playing a love interest in an upcoming movie.

Vicious Tycoon is a second generation, second chance romance with a storyline filled full of banter, hot chemistry, angst and turmoil. I liked the flow of the book as I feel it captures the bond these two characters have built over the years and allows you to experience the moments as they felt it. These two come together so easily and fight strongly for the other no matter the cost.

Though we only got a small glimpse of the first generation character’s, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Getting to read their familiar voices felt like coming home again. Though the visit with the Good Ol’ Boys characters was brief, I think M. Robinson made a great transition to the new generation. Bailey and Aires are sizzling hot.

If you enjoy reading young love romance, friends to lovers, and hot steamy sex scenes, then this book is for you. This is a quick easy read that can be read as a standalone. The ending of the book definitely has made me anxious for the next book in this series, Filthy Mogul. This will be the third and final book in The Billion-Dollar Men Series, with likely another glimpse from The Good Ol’ Boys characters. This one stars Luke Jameson.

I’m convinced there’s not a character that M. Robinson could write that I won’t absolutely fall for.

Bailey and Aires are no different and they hit it off with a bang. Aires is determined to get with Hollywood’s seeetheart, but he has quite the infamous reputation. They are perfect together, but can she tame the bad boy streak?

He’s obsessive/possessive over her and it the best way possible. He cares for her and, honestly, cherishes her. The chemistry is off the charts. And did we mention they’re childhood sweethearts?? What more could we ask for. Its a second chance in the works with a dirty talking hero and a quiet sexy heroine.

Its angsty and it’s spicy and it’s just waiting for everyone to read it, so run, don’t walk, to Bailey and Aires story. 😍😍

Superb!

This story is indeed a romance within a romance. The characters nailed who they are by just being Bailey and Aires both in their world and in film. I love how the plot (also the movie's plot) reconciles the two childhood sweethearts. The story is superb even the movie they film no matter how cliché the plot it offers because it definitely serves its purpose – reconciling Bay and Aries once again. I love how calm and compassionate Bailey is to the people that matter in her life. She is indeed a sweetheart. It just saddens me that because of that people can take advantage of her. Good thing Aires was there. Despite the temper and tainted image, I fell for him every time he stood for Bay to protect her with all his might. Trust me, he was not tagged as vicious for nothing. If this was a fairytale, he would be the prince who would swim the deepest ocean to have his princess. They are my yin-yang couple and I love them for that. I like to commend the author for using the first-person point of view. It is the wisest thing ever in this book because it made me love Bay and Aries with the same intensity. As a reader, it lessens my doubts about Aries's intentions, particularly after all the secrets were revealed. Also, Bay's point of view toned down my judgment towards her despite the choices she made, especially at the beginning of the story. Overall, this story is superb and highly recommended!

Bailey and Aires come together in this second chance story set against the backdrop of the movie industry. They met as young kids experiencing lots of firsts together but their careers went in different paths. There was no big drama they just lost touch. Meeting again they have cultivated their own personas, he is the charming bad boy and she is the good girl everyone wants to be. I liked the premise of the storyline, especially when they started filming together where it wasn't hard to see fact and fiction blurring and spilling over into their real lives. The chemistry they portray on screen is nothing compared to in private, they were on fire. I loved how despite the time apart they really were best friends highlighted by some of their conversations with each other.

If you haven't read the books involving Bailey's parents you could still read and follow this book with ease. For me there are parts of the story missing. I would have loved to have seen some of Bailey growing up, because her family dynamic is so complex it would have been interesting to see a little of how she coped with it all. I am a loyal Jackson fan so to see he is now referred to as her stepfather did not sit right with me at all. How did he go from "you'll always be her daddy" to her stepfather, does she call him by his first name now? I know it is a little irrational but I loved the daddy/daughter relationship they had and it made me a little peeved reading that part and I know dynamics change with age but we don't get to see how.

Celebrity romance is one of my all-time favorite tropes. Usually with a celebrity and normal girl, but M. Robinson killed this one!

Bailey is Hollywood’s Good Girl/Sweetheart, who in the eyes of the public does no wrong. So, when she attends a party with her model best friend, she runs into Hollywood’s notorious bad boy, Aires: the one she shares a history with, including all her firsts. Together, the two began their careers as kid actors on “The Kids Club”, eventually going down different entertainment paths. When Aires takes a hit to save Bailey’s reputation, she now owes him and that includes risking fame to star alongside him in a movie.

This novel captivated me from the beginning. Seeing the two reunite, it was clear they still had old, familiar feelings for each other. It’s mentioned, a few times, that the two together felt like home and that’s what I felt reading their story. Bailey and Aires were good for each other. Bailey took a bad boy, who was no stranger to the tabloids with his countless sex tape leaks and turned him into boyfriend material. At the same time, Aires gave Bailey a backbone. She was always a people pleaser, who didn’t say no, so to see Aires bring power back to her was inspiring.

If you like a good bad turned good boy, who empowers his woman, this is the book for you!

🎥 𝘊𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘔𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘦 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦: "𝑰𝒏 𝒂 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅... 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒚𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒆..."🎥



M. Robinson has done it again with 𝘝𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘯, and let me tell you, this book is pure cinematic gold! 🎬✨

𝗣𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀: A-list actor meets sassy, fiery heroine and BOOM! Sparks fly, hearts race, and we’re all just sitting here, popcorn in hand, ready for the drama. 🍿


We’ve got everything here:

𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦? 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸.
𝘍𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘩-𝘴𝘰-𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭? 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸!

And don’t even get me started on the bad boy charm. You know the type—broody, sexy, and so full of emotional baggage that you’re like, "𝘚𝘪𝘴, 𝘙𝘜𝘕!"... but also, "𝘕𝘰, 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦... 𝘏𝘖𝘛." 😏🔥

The banter between these two is sharper than a red carpet catfight, and the spice level? Let’s just say, it’s hotter than a California summer. ☀️

You’ll be blushing, fanning yourself, and maybe even considering a cold shower. 🚿🥵

Opposites attract in the most deliciously explosive way. You’ll be laughing, swooning, and probably screaming at your book, “𝘒𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺!” 😤💋 And when they finally do? 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗪! Be prepared for a serious case of heart eyes. 😍

This book is like a Hollywood blockbuster packed into 200+ pages of pure romance magic. 🎥 So, grab your tickets (aka the book), sit back, and enjoy the ride.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars for sizzle, sass, and swoon!
