Bachelor Unmasked

Preston Brothers #1

by Darah Lace

After a long business trip, the last thing Spencer Preston wants is to attend a masquerade party. His plan? Get in and get out. However, an encounter with a hot she-devil changes his mind, especially when the siren behind the sequined mask is the prim and proper, no-nonsense, secretary he’s been fighting an attraction to for months. Suspicious of her dual lifestyle, he slips on his mask and sets out to discover her secrets.

Melody Jamison hates hiding behind her plain-Jane persona, but her last job ended in sexual harassment. To get a promotion at Preston Enterprises, she needs to show Spencer she’s more than just a pretty face. The only problem is, she’s got the hots for her boss. When a friend convinces Melody a masquerade is the perfect place to let her hair down without revealing her true persona, she agrees to night out. But she never dreamed she would meet a mysterious masked stranger who makes her body hum like only Spencer can.

But there’s a corporate spy running loose at Preston Enterprises and with Melody at the top of the suspect list, Spencer must continue the charade as her masked lover in order to uncover the truth. His hotter-than-Hades assistant proves reluctant to part with answers, yet more than willing to play with fire, drawing them into the flames of a sexual fantasy neither can forget.

RTC!

[Becca · Rating 4 out of 5]

There was absolutely nothing particularly surprising or original in this story. In addition, the use of withheld information and hidden identities as a plot device is one I normally don't like at all. Yet this book was very well done, well written and I enjoyed it very much.

I think what made it work so well, is the author took a somewhat unbelievable situation but kept her characters real. I liked Melody and Preston, even though I disagreed with some of the choices they made. The story was sexy and kept my interest to the end, and that pretty much says it all in my book. ;)

I recommend this book to those who enjoy contemporary erotic romance with strong and likeable characters.

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Billionaire
Spice: Yes 🥵
Series: Preston Brothers, book 1

Thoughts - I really enjoyed this book. I loved the masked lover aspect as it's not something I'd read in a workplace billionaire trope. Spencer was a little annoying toward the end in his selfishness but it didn't take away from the overall storyline. The spice was great, especially the at the end party 🌶️ definitely recommend if your after a billionaire with a
twist.

Plot - constantly sexualised from her looks in a white Collar world Melody has had enough and dresses down to her new job so she can be judge on her work ethic and not her looks.
Unfortunately for her her boss Spencer is smoking hot and she has a crush, thankfully he's away on business at the moment. After an invite to a masquerade party Melody take the time to dress up like she used to and she catches the eve of a masked bandit. But after a night of passion will she ever see him again, how does her know her and what about her feelings for her boss.

* Workplace romance
* Masquerade lover
* Suspense
* Voyeur aspect

"Fuck me." She heard the desperation in her voice and choked back a sob as she begged, "Please. Just fuck me."

This should have been a DNF.

I found the biggest ICK in reading. 3rd Person smut.

It gave me the impression of a 3rd person is watching a couple smutting and then describe it to a blind person.

I dont know why I keep giving 3rd person a try.

This one was not for me. AND I LOVE OFFICE / BILLIONAIRE

DNF 78% because he’s a rapey dickhead and I can’t put myself through watching her make yet another dumb decision because she’s horny

His reason for not trusting her is literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever read: she’s hiding herself by… not wearing skin tight clothes to work???????

Nice short read. Our MMC is one of 4 brothers. And falls for our FMC who is just intelligent and business savvy as he is. There is miscommunication, moments of uncertainty in their feelings but also a HEA.

Deeply Captivating and Delightfully Sexy!

Unmasked has a delicious mix of mayhem and sinfully sexy scenes that had this reader glued to her kindle from beginning to end. From Melody’s choice to hide her true self, to Spencer’s battle with his own values, this love story will make you laugh, scream, and ultimately wish for a Preston to call your own. Loved it!
