Won't Keep You Waiting: Armani Sisters, Book 1

by T'Lyn, Myles Washington (Narrator), Simone Rothschild (Narrator)

Anario Anderson is a professional poker player who thrives on taking risks—except when it comes to love.

After a messy breakup with his daughter's mother two years ago, he's embraced the bachelor lifestyle and left serious relationships off the table. But everything changes when he meets China Armani, his daughter's intelligent, beautiful, and cautious teacher, at a school open house.

China is focused on rebuilding her life after ending a dead-end relationship. The last thing she wants is to gamble on love, especially with a smooth-talking playboy like Anario. But he's never been one to fold under pressure, and he's determined to win her over.

As Anario chips away at China's defenses, she begins to see there's more to him than his charm and high-stakes career. But with her past heartbreaks and his unpredictable lifestyle, can they both bet on love and come out on top?

Rio and China were too cute! Rio took one look at China and was like yep that’s my wife. China thought she was going to handle Rio like she be handling Jackson and that quickly went south. And speaking of Jackson- you and your mama can take an elevator to hell. How you paying her bills with China’s money??? And China why was you sending him the money? I’m all for 50/50 but nah the money needs to come to me! Jackson and his mama relationship was too weird- why did she know your sex life?

Marissa - you let the janitor turn you out??? Had you in a trouple and on drugs.. but your BD and his wife are some real ones!! You better thank your lucky stars! Rio had the support of China of you going to rehab and getting clean. Please take this second chance!

Kenya- girl I can’t wait to see the man that locks you down! Not only do I want to get put through the mattress but I also want you to feel unconditional love!

Italy- your king is coming!

Jordan- girl you’re a mess! Let A5 lock you down!

Lastly this was a grown up book to me because the MMC wasn’t on no games! He wasn’t cheating and playing around. Once he wore China down- that was it!

When Anario first saw China he knew he wanted her to be his woman and he didn't care that it would probably be considered inappropriate since she was his daughter's teacher. China was acting like she didn't want to have anything to do with him playing like she really cared about her no good boyfriend when she knew she found him attractive and was a little drawn to his cocky attitude. Rio was all gas no breaks until she finally gave in and I was happy when she did because I liked him for her and I liked the two of them together. I also thought it was nice how attentive of a father he was and how she formed a nice relationship with his daughter.

3.5 ⭐️
This book was really cute. I really liked it. I listened to the audiobook and I’m so glad I did! Anario is my kind of man! He knows what he wants and he goes and GETS IT! No BS. I loved how he always put China first and make sure that she was straight along with his daughter that he had with his ex. And the spice was top notch! Will definitely read some more from this author real soon.
