A guarded billionaire single dad meets the one woman who could heal his heart in this emotional and blisteringly hot romance by USA Today bestselling author Marni Mann.
One look at former NFL player Gavin Worthington has Emily craving things she shouldn’t. Yet his scorching-hot body and dangerously perfect smile are everything she wants. At the same time, a single glance at the breathtakingly sexy Emily Wren and her unforgettable blue eyes has Gavin desiring things he hasn’t in years.
Their agreement is one night of uninhibited pleasure. No strings, no complications.
But one taste isn’t enough, and he can’t get Emily out of his head.
Gavin never lets women get close—his seven-year-old son, Ben, is his entire world. But there’s something about the gorgeous nurse that breaks through every wall he’s built. She’s incredible with his boy, lights up his darkest places, and makes him hunger in ways he’d forgotten were possible. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to deny their growing feelings. Except the pull of Gavin’s past is stronger than they imagined.
For this grumpy single dad to move forward and hold on to the only woman who’s made him feel alive in years, he’ll have to convince Emily that their connection is more powerful than the emotional barriers between them. They’ll need to trust that sometimes the most unexpected love stories lead to the happiest endings. All they have to do is take the chance.
USA Today Bestselling author Marni Mann knew she was going to be a writer since middle school. While other girls her age were daydreaming about teenage pop stars, Marni was fantasizing about penning her first novel. She crafts sexy, titillating stories that weave together her love of darkness, mystery, passion, and human emotions. A New Englander at heart, she now lives in Sarasota, Florida, with her husband and their Yellow Lab. When she’s not nose deep in her laptop, working on her next novel, she’s scouring for chocolate, sipping wine, traveling, or devouring fabulous books.
When her on-call nursing gig leads her to former NFL player, Gavin Worthington’s house, Emily Wren can hardly believe her eyes. When he invites her stay for a drink, she can hardly believe her ears. When he pursues despite being a proclaimed bachelor, she can hardly believe her luck.
So, this was my second Marni Mann book and I loved it every bit as much as the first! Witnessing these two fall in love was honestly the best. I love a dark romance and an alphahole as much as the next girl. Once in a while I just love a safe, drama-free love story though. And this hit the spot perfectly. Also, I just want to say that despite not being a fan of the single parent trope, Ben was such a sweet little addition to the book.

He doesn’t make time for more than a night. Emily loves her job, is kind, and full of sass. Who would have thought a button stuck up a nose would be their meet cute. Emily is called into her night nursing job for a pediatrician. She is shocked when the elevator doors opens and she sees Gavin. He can’t help but notice the gorgeous woman in pink scrubs who is tending to his son with so much care and kindness. Gavin asks her to stay for a drink and the night. They agree to a one night, no strings attached. Emily knows that if she agrees to anything more it would be easy to catch feelings. Except one night wasn’t enough for Gavin. She has him wanting things he hasn’t wanted since before his son was born. I loved seeing how Gavin didn’t hide from his feelings and actively pursued Emily. She made him work for it though because she needed to know he wanted more than a physical relationship. Their chemistry is off the charts. Their story burns up the pages and will hit you in all the feels. Emily and Maya’s friendship are bestie goals. But we can’t forget about the wise and amazing Bettie. Can we get her story? Please!?

A Few Favorite Quotes: “Emily, I don’t know who the hell you are aside from the woman who just rescued my son . . . but damn, girl, you’re fucking beautiful.”
“There was perfect, and then there was her. She exceeded that word. F_ € k, she even doubled it.”
“But there’s nothing easy about two souls colliding. That’s like putting the moon and sun side by side. The energy needs to find a balance, and when it’s significant and monumental, that balance takes patience and testing.”
“You want me to stop? Because I can keep going. I have lots more to say about you.” She put her hands on her face and stared into my eyes, “No, don’t ever stop.”
“I’m starting to believe you have something against having $ex in a bed.”
Oh Marni Marni Marni! You just never miss do you? Like the way that you always deliver a binge worthy banger. It's the main reason you are my fairy smut mother. Because you always know what I need and over exceed my expectations every. single. time!
Ok listen, if you have read one of Marni's books before then you know she straight delivers on a spicy billionaire romance. Every book of hers are structured the same so you always know what you are going to get. We always have an MMC who is an overconfident alpha hole who is allergic to monogamy. They are the biggest playboys til they meet that one woman that brings them to their knees. And that woman is always a product of a one night stand that is only supposed to be just that. But with that being said, there is always a plot twist that's incorporated which creates a story you also didn't expect at the same time. I eat it up every single time. And guess what? No, Don't Every Stop is exactly.
I loved this book so much! I loved Gavin and Emily's story. It was everything I wanted. I loved their meet cute which turned into a just for the night situation. I loved that Gavin became so obsessed he broke his own rules for Emily. I loved how Emily low key was crushing on Gavin before they officially met. I loved Emily's relationship with Gavin's son Ben. I loved how Gavin and Emily are connected in ways they never expected which plays into the plot twist. SO yeah, basically if Marni Mann writes it, I'm going to love it. And with that I have nothing else to say. Add this one to the TBR. Devour this spicy goodness and you can thank me later!

* I would like to say THANK YOU to Marni Mann and Valentine PR for allowing me the absolute pleasure to read No, Don't Ever Stop as an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts, opinions and review.
As I've said before, ONE Star reviews LONG before a book is published? very suspicious. help counteract the fishy ratings. I'll update further after I've read it. Goodreads, are you even helping ? 1 stars in Oct 2025? WTH
I was completely obsessed with this from the first few pages.
It’s one of those books that just pulls you in right away and keeps you there. The whole billionaire romance vibe is done so well, and it somehow feels both familiar and exciting at the same time. I genuinely couldn’t stop reading and ended up flying through it way faster than I expected.
Gavin and Emily really made this story for me. The chemistry is instant, but what I loved most was how it slowly turns into something deeper and more emotional. Watching Gavin go from guarded to completely all in was so satisfying, and Emily holds her ground in a way that makes you root for her even more. And honestly, him as a dad just made everything softer and sweeter in the best way.
It’s such a good mix of spice, heart, and just enough drama to keep things interesting without feeling too heavy. The relationships, the little found family moments, all of it just worked. I finished it with the biggest smile, already missing the characters.
This is absolutely a must-read if you love swoony, addictive romance.

ALC Review Narrated by Savanah Peachwood & Teddy Hamilton ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ 🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️🎙️ My first Marni Mann Read!!! Ma’am your books are H-O-T! I loved every single mouthwatering second of this book! Will be a re-listen for me. Gavin is a former NFL player who does not do anything more that one-night stands. Even at that he only sleeps with the same women once. Emily is a nurse who works two jobs. One of her jobs happens to be Pediatrics and when Gavin’s son needs a nurse, Emily is sent over to check on him. Sparks engnite between the two and is once enough? Will Gavin break his only solid rule to protect himself and his son? The book is an emotional journey for the couple. There’s passion, vulnerability, and love blooming. And Ben his son was so adorable. The Grandmother, by far my favorite 😂
I loved this book so much. It was hot. I could listen to Teddy Hamilton speak ANYTHING all day long. Savanah was the perfect match for this duo. They delivered all the emotions in stunning clarity. They immersed us in the read and made us a part of the story.
I would like to thank Marni Mann and VPR Audio for the early listen.
I love Marni Mann and these Billionaires! Gavin is a single dad and finds himself in need of the on call doctor when his son gets something stuck up his nose. Emily shows up and once she is officially off the clock....things heat up for her and Gavin. This is a spicy slow burn of emotions and Gavin begins to warm up to the idea of letting someone else in. And that ending....I cried!!! What a tear jerker. The audio narration was fantastic by Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton. Highly recommend the audiobook!!
When it comes to writing sexy alpha billionaires, there's no one quite like Marni Mann. She captures the heat and the heart while building great characters that have electric chemistry that ends up translating to oh so many orgasms that will surely melt your reading device!
No, Don't Ever Stop is the second book of The Billionaires of Boston duet. Gavin Worthington is a single father and former professional football player. His focus is his son and his career. He has no time for anything else, but his family and business. Women are one night stands to fill his needs. But when Emily (best friend to Maya, the FMC in book one) is called to his penthouse after hours to help with a medical incident concerning his son, he can't help but notice the gorgeous woman in scrubs that handles his son with tender care. Would she be interested in one "hungry and feral" night?
'All I knew was that our sexual chemistry was scorching, I was beyond attracted to him, and if anyone was going to rock my world, I wanted it to be him.'
Emily Wren is caretaker to the elderly during the day and an on-call nurse by night to make ends meet. When she is called to Gavin Worthington's home, she knows exactly who he is. He's gorgeous, notoriously single with the cutest dang son, wealthy, and 100% off limits since her BFF is dating his brother. But this is just a job, right? But this one night of taking care of his son leads to an after work drink that proves to be more than what either of these two expected. Gavin asks for one night, and Emily knows what she is signing up for. But what if there is more than just physical attraction between these two? Emily just may know how to reel in the fish that can't get caught and oh what a delicious game they play.
Marni has done it again with Gavin (and Ben) and Emily's story. I loved that we immediately had Gavin's son involved in the whole plot of the story and how that was going to hold their immediate physical attraction from turning into more. But it was all about Emily and how she worked the long game. She knew just what she wanted, what she was worth and it was so much fun to watch. She made Gavin WORK for it! Because not only did these two have a physical connection, but you could feel something emotionally there too. Even from the very start with how easily they could converse and how she cared for his son. And then there's the way they just find each other when they least expect it. Between that, their texts and easy conversation and how palpable their chemistry is, they both can't help where it takes them. And what a steamy delight it is!
Overall, I liked how this story overlapped with book one without you having to read it. I liked how Emily and Gavin were in their own bubble, but also how the supporting characters unknowingly helped push their story forward. Especially Gavin's sweet Grandma. That woman is all-knowing and just wants the best for all those that she loves. And Ben. Ben, Gavin and Emily. What a connection those 3 have that actually, well.......let's just say that I loved how Marni connected them all.... ;)
"But there's nothing easy about two souls colliding. That's like putting the moon and sun side by side. The energy needs to find a balance, and when it's significant and monumental, that balance takes patience and testing."
If you are in the mood for: Billionaire Single Dad Former Pro Athlete Opposites Attract Failed One Night Stand Close Proximity with the best darn chemistry that develops into so much more, then please don't miss No, Don't Ever Stop!
Is this another Marni Mann book that is completely bingeable, it definitely is! I devoured this one and left no crumbs! Emily and Gavin have insane chemistry and I was loving it, especially with that steamy first night! But when Gavin can’t seem to stay away, I loved seeing how things started to change! Plus, I love how sweet she is towards Ben and you can’t help but love Emily!
What to expect: ✨billionaire ✨single dad ✨one night stand ✨alpha hero ✨grumpy but soft for her ✨close proximity ✨found family
Thank you to Marni Mann & Valentine PR for letting me read/review an early copy. All opinions are my own
I absolutely adore Emily Wren, Gavin Worthington, and Ben's story. It's sweet, steamy, and fun. There's some drama and a few secrets, but it's very relatable. Once I started, I didn't want to stop.
Gavin: You're not letting me kiss you? Are trying to fucking torture me?
Emily: Nothing makes me happier.
Gavin: I know. My fucking balls are still blue.
I love that the third act breakup is avoided. I also love the extra dimensions that her friends and his family add to everything, especially Betty. She is in a class of her own. 🥰😍
Reading in series order isn't necessary. Of course, if you're like me at all, you'll wish you knew Jordan and Maya's story already. Well, I know to circle back to it.
I listened to the audio book. The narrators are Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood. As much as I love them, I really wish this was done in duet narration. 🎧💛🎧
Gavin and Emily!!!🥹 I ate this book up. Marni Mann has a way of writing characters that makes you completely obsessed with them immediately. I loved Emily in A Million Times, Yes, and this book made me love her more! Her work ethic, kindness and sass all made for a perfect FMC. Her and Maya’s friendship is so fun! I love them two and Bettie of course! This books timeline overlaps with the first one, so we get a little more insight into some scenes from the first book which I really enjoyed!
Gavin. Ugh😩 I love a reformed player vibe. He is determined that him and Emily are a one night stand. But he can’t get her out of his head 🤭🫣 They had so much chemistry, and their scenes were hot and heavy🥵🤭 I don’t want to spoil much, but let’s just say the heat kept the same level as the first book!
Thank you to firefly distributions and Marni Mann for the ARC!
✨ALC provided by NetGalley and Valentine PR for an honest review✨
I’m a sucker for a good billionaire romance, and this book did not disappoint 🤩 Gaven is a former NHL player that is completely devoted to his 7 year old son. He’s still heartbroken over his girlfriend’s death during childbirth, and has decided to not let women get close to him and is closed off. But one look at Emily wakes up feeling he hasn’t had in years! Emily is an on call nurse at night and takes care of the elderly during the day. When she is called to Gaven’s apartment for an emergency involving his son, she can’t help but feel the attraction and pull to Gaven. Not wanting something serious, both of them agree to a one night stand. But what if one night isn’t enough and their physical attraction ends up being more? 👀
The relationship between Gaven and Emily is sweet and very spicy 🌶️ I loved how Gaven was completely devoted to his son, and he loved Emily because of the way she was with his boy. Emily was a sassy girl and knew what she wanted, and that was a loving relationship. So when the grumpy, sexy, billionaire who was closed off to relationships start to pursue her, she is surprised but is all for it 😂 You could seriously feel the chemistry oozing from this book!
The audiobook was dual narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Savannah Peachwood. Both did a good job with their narration, but I know it would have been even better if this was done as a duet. If you like billionaire romances with a lot of heart, I definitely recommend this book ❤️
No, Don’t Ever Stop is a steamy and emotional romance. Gavin is a retired hockey player and single dad. Emily is a nurse that gets called to help Gavin’s son. They have a one-night stand. Neither of them wants a relationship but one night isn’t enough. I loved Emily and Gavin’s story. This book was more emotional than I expected but still a fun read. No, Don’t Ever Stop is the second book in The Billionaires of Boston series. It can be read as a standalone, but I recommend starting with A Million Times, Yes.
Oh man Oh man Marni did a fabulous job on this book! I devoured this book! I am sad that this series is over but these brothers were everything!
Gavin is so focus on his career and his son Ben, that he has no time really for anyone else to be in his life. But Gavin meets Emily during a house call to his house, where he becomes obsessed with her. Emily is a nurse, she works at a rehab facility where Gavin grandmother is staying until she ready to go home, then she works for pediatricians office at night. Emily is so lovable and caring i definitely loved her character throughout this book! These two were everything!! The spice was top notch!!
I am so glad I found this author i definitely will be reading more of her books!!
4.5⭐️ | 3🌶 Another banger from Marni. Absolutely loved Gavin, Emily and Ben. Like I was melting through the entire book. The swooniness. Just GAHH! Also, that twist had my heart in my throat. Thank you to valentine pr for this arc.
If you read A Million Times Yes and caught those little breadcrumbs about Emily and Gavin, just know… this one was so worth the wait. I already loved them as side characters, so getting their story felt like a payoff I’d been quietly hoping for—and yes, I was way too excited to get my hands on this ARC.
This book leans fully into that feel-good, low-stakes, minimal drama kind of romance—and somehow still had me completely hooked. It’s soft and swoony, but not forgettable. I was smiling from ear to ear and I genuinely couldn’t stop reading—there was just something about them that felt so right.
Gavin’s whole world revolves around his son, Ben, and it shows in everything he does. Because of that, he’s kept his personal life very… streamlined. No commitment, no complications—just getting his needs met and moving on. It works for him. Or at least it did. Until Emily ends up at his house late one night after helping with a "button up the nose" situation, and the chemistry between them is immediate. Like, no-denying-it immediate. But Gavin is quick to draw a line—one night, no more—and Emily agrees just as easily. No pressure, no expectations. They have their night, she leaves, and on paper, that should’ve been it.
Except Gavin clearly did not think that through.
Because what follows is him absolutely unraveling in the most entertaining way. Watching him try to process feelings he did not plan for had me laughing out loud—he was truly losing the plot. And Emily? She does not make it easy for him, but not in a frustrating way. It’s playful, a little teasing, but she holds her ground and makes him actually show up and prove he means it. The irony of him having to say out loud that he wants more—after being so firm about keeping things casual—was just too good. It felt earned without being dragged out.
What really made everything click, though, was how naturally Emily fits into Gavin’s life, especially with Ben. Their relationship develops so gently, so authentically, and Emily never once tries to compete with where Gavin’s priorities lie. She respects it, supports it, and makes sure he knows what a good father he is. That dynamic added a layer of warmth that grounded all the swoony moments.
And then there’s Emily’s backstory, which is woven in so quietly at first you almost don’t realize how important it’s going to be. As a nurse, she’s carrying the weight of a patient experience that changed the trajectory of her career—something that felt incredibly real. Anyone in healthcare knows there’s always that one patient you never forget. The way that piece of her past slowly unfolds and then connects back into Gavin’s world… I genuinely didn’t see it coming, and it completely shifted the emotional depth of the story without taking away from that lighter tone.
I just loved these two. They had me giggling, kicking my feet, fully invested in every step of their story. It’s sweet, easy, and unexpectedly emotional where it counts—and the length makes it the perfect quick read that warms your heart in a way you just can't put it down. The kind of book you finish with a smile and immediately want to tell someone else to go read.
This was my first time reading this author, and it completely won me over. Her writing is incredibly fluid and engaging, the kind that pulls you in effortlessly and keeps you there.
I honestly wasn’t expecting to get so hooked on this book, but once I started, I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading it all in one go.
While it is, at its core, a billionaire romance, there’s a strong layer of drama woven into the story that adds depth and keeps things interesting.
This book tells Gavin and Emily’s story... and what a story it is!
Because of past trauma, Gavin has dedicated himself entirely to his career and his son, leaving no room in his life for love. Emily, completely devoted to her job, also fills her days with work, with no space for anything else, especially not a relationship.
All either of them wants are casual encounters, no strings attached, no complications, nothing more.
When Emily is called in for a night shift as a pediatric nurse, she’s completely caught off guard when the elevator doors open and she comes face-to-face with Gavin. He, in turn, can’t ignore the stunning woman in pink scrubs caring for his son with such tenderness and dedication.
What starts as an agreement for one night with no strings attached seems simple enough. Emily knows anything more could lead to complicated feelings. But for Gavin, one night is nowhere near enough. She awakens something in him he hasn’t felt since before becoming a father.
One of the highlights is seeing Gavin embrace his feelings instead of running from them, going after Emily with intention. Of course, she doesn’t make it easy, she needs to be sure he’s looking for something deeper than just physical attraction. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their story is filled with intensity and emotion that truly pulls you in.
Emily and Maya’s friendship is everything you’d want in a best-friend dynamic, and we absolutely can’t overlook the wise and wonderful Bettie.
This book was an absolute delight to read, and that kid… wow! What a scene-stealer!
Thank goodness for my day off, I devoured this one. An absolutely phenomenal read & I know it’s going to be in my top reads of the year.
Who's ready for more Worthingtons? No, Don’t ever stop is book 2 in the Billionaires of Boston series
📚 No Don't Ever Stop by Marni Mann 💙Single Dad 💴 Billionaire
We first met Emily & Gavin in Maya & Jordon’s book ~ A million times yes ! I’ve been so excited for this release & it most definitely didn’t disappoint. In my opinion deserves all the love & praise.
This story is a MUST READ! Marni slayed this epic romance that will hit you straight in the feels. She has this way of writing alpha males that will leave you utterly obsessed.
It’s erotic, swoonworthy & a definite MUST read.
After Gavin Worthington meets Emily. One night with her is not enough.
Gavin is an ex NFL player, a player in more ways than one. As a single parent, he has no interest in relationships. He has walls built around his heart to protect his son & his heart, after tragedy struck. He’s completely dedicated to raising his adorable son.
From the moment Emily walked into Gavin’s apartment it was like he was cast under a spell. He’s enamoured with the way she’s treating his seven year old son Ben with such compassion & reassurance that he falls hard & fast. One night with her is not enough, Emily changes everything Gavin ever thought he wanted.
Emily is equally attracted to Gavin but she makes him work for her number. Which I absolutely loved, making the player fall harder.
I always find Marni’s characters so lovable, the male leads are always just the perfect combination of protective & oh so hot 🥵
Emily is equally adorable, as a hard working care giver I could totally relate to her character. I genuinely couldn't find any flaws in this book, I thoroughly enjoyed it! The chapters are short & fast-paced, making it a great read, I didn't think it was possible to love one of Marni’s books more. No, don’t ever stop is going to be on my top reads of 2026 list.
If you love spicy contemporary romance including a single Dad, a billionaire ex-pro football player, packed full of spice that will leave you swooning then you’re going to love No, don’t ever stop !

This is one for anyone who loves spicy contemporary romance! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Every time I read a new Marni Mann book I think, “okay, this is my favorite”… but truly, this might actually be my favorite so far because I loved it that much. This one even made me a little teary-eyed for a second, and that does not happen often for me. Marni is the queen of swoony billionaire romances, and Gavin fits that bill and then some, amazing alpha MMC energy. And Emily? Strong, resilient, smart, and the kind of FMC who has this man completely wrapped around her finger. The spice, as always, is top tier and leaves you panting. What can I say? Marni Mann just does it every single time. I already can’t wait for the next book because I truly cannot get enough… ma’am, no, don’t ever stop please.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Thankyou valentine pr and netgalley for the review copy, all opinions are my own
In similar vibes to Mann’s previous book, A Million Times, Yes — No, Don’t Ever Stop is a spicy billionaire, one night stand romance. Emily is a nurse working multiple jobs, and Gavin is a retired NFL player, single dad currently running his billion dollar company with his brother. It is an enjoyable audiobook especially with the talented Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton voicing the characters.
This is a fun, sweet and spicy billionaire romance that centers on loss and found family. While both Emily and Gavin have lost loved ones in the past, they find comfort and passion with each other. Very easy listen, and enjoyable plot.
Thank you, Marni Mann, Valentine PR, and Brilliance Audio for an advanced listening copy of this book.
This book was exactly what I needed to get out of my reading slump. This book follows Emily (from A Millions Times Yes) and Jordan's brother, Gavin. Gavin is all in with this son and there isn't a lot of room for anyone else in his life. A chance meeting after a late night call to the doctor leads to a one night neither of them can forget.
Gavin has to quickly decide if he can and if he wants to make room for Emily in his life when most of his day is focusing on his son. Emily needs to decide if she ready to make room in her life for Gavin.
The tension between Emily and Gavin was so good. I could not put this book down.
This book was amazing in every way! I really have enjoyed this series! Gavin and Emily are everything and man oh man did Marni deliver with these two!
This is a spicy billionaire romance with a one night stand that you won't be able to put down! These Worthington men are top tier and I just cannot get enough of them. Gavin is a single dad who has been focused on nothing but his work and his son. Since the passing of his son's mother he has not wanted or thought about love. That is until his son decides to get a button stuck in his nose and Emily, the concierge nurse that comes to save the day shows up. She is kind, compassionate and sassy as hell! Gavin cannot take his eyes off her. When Emily gets the button out and Gavin puts his son to bed, he asks her to stay for a drink and one thing leads to another and she is there all night. They had an agreement that this would only happen once. But the thing is...neither of them can stop thinking about the other.
The way these two just meshed so well together. The chemistry, the banter, the flirting. It was all so amazing. I also loved how Emily made Gavin work for her. I was cheering her on and so here for it. I mean Gavin is a billionaire who is probably used to getting what he wants and this gorgeous woman who is from the opposite side of the tracks made him WORK!!!! I also really enjoyed how Emily was with Ben and how protective Gavin was of Ben. This showed what a great father he is and how amazing Emily is.
That ending though...the twist! I was confused, then in shock and then in tears! This is the first book by Marni that I have cried in and I loved it so much. This may be my new favorite Marni Mann book to date!
This book is so freaking good. I could not put it down and neither will you. The spice is HAWT!!! and those text messages had me giddy and grinning from ear to ear! And of course, I cannot forget Ms. Bettie! She is just amazing and I want a book where she is the FMC! She is just the best!

Thank you Marni Mann and Valentine PR for the privilege to ARC read this book in exchange for my honest thoughts and review.
No, Don't Ever Stop by Marni Mann follows the absolutely wonderful love story of Gavin Worthington and Emily Wren.
Emily is an empathic nurse and single. Now that her best friend Maya is completely in love with Jordan Worthington, Emily would love to find this for her, too. Well... one night, she meets Gavin Worthington and his little son, Ben. This night turns her world upside down, and there are so many intriguing possibilities...
Awwwww!! Well, I already loved the story about Maya and Jordan (A Million Times, Yes), and this one isn't an exception!
There's this instant attraction between Emily and Gavin the night they met. OMG, I got GOOSEBUMPS EVERYWHERE! As a nurse, she helps Ben to get the button out of his nose. Afterwards, Gavin offers Emily a drink, and she agrees. A drink turns into a passionate night, but Gavin has strict rules and no time for something serious. That's what he says. At first. 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭
I really really looooved this story! The perfect stuff I needed right now! Emily is a nurse with two jobs, and she definitely knows what she wants. Always busy but confident enough to satisfy her needs. She's strong and can absolutely deal with a billionaire like Gavin.
Hot. Hotter. Gavin Worthington. A single dad, businessman. He always gets what he wants. And after he had one intense night with Emily, nothing is what it seems. She turned his world upside down... but you know how it is with confident guys - they don't see the truth until it's right in front of them. 😄😄
I devoured the story of Emily and Gavin and Ben and really enjoyed it! There are lots and lots of sexy times. H-O-T IN CAPITALS, GUYS! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 SOOOOO GOOD! OH MY!
Buuut there's also this perfect character development, emotions overload, and CHEMISTRY!
A wonderful, wonderful love story and the perfect one if you're into insta attraction, sexy times galore, and a cute little guy who will melt your heart! 🫠❤️
Thank you so much to Marni Mann and Valentine PR for this ARC via NetGalley. This is my honest review in my own words.
✨No, Don’t Ever Stop✨ by: Marni Mann Series: The Billionaires of Boston
One look at former NFL player Gavin Worthington has Emily craving things she shouldn’t. Yet his scorching-hot body and dangerously perfect smile are everything she wants. At the same time, a single glance at the breathtakingly sexy Emily Wren and her unforgettable blue eyes has Gavin desiring things he hasn’t in years.
Their agreement is simple: one night of uninhibited pleasure. No strings, no complications. But one taste isn’t enough, and he can’t get Emily out of his head.
Gavin never lets women get close—his seven-year-old son, Ben, is his entire world. But there’s something about the gorgeous nurse that breaks through every wall he’s built. She’s incredible with his boy, lights up his darkest places, and makes him hunger in ways he’d forgotten were possible. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to deny their growing feelings. Except the pull of Gavin’s past is stronger than they imagined.
For this grumpy single dad to move forward and hold on to the only woman who’s made him feel alive in years, he’ll have to convince Emily that their connection is more powerful than the emotional barriers between them. They’ll need to trust that sometimes the most unexpected love stories lead to the happiest endings. All they have to do is take the chance.
No, Don’t Ever Stop is the second book in The Billionaires of Boston by Marni Mann. This book follow brother number 2 Gavin and his “one time” encounter with Emily. Marni has done it again, she has written another sexy billionaire that is not afraid to get what he wants and his sexy and confident woman that will do everything in her power to make him work hard for it. This is exactly what I needed to read after a hefty fantasy book. If you love grumpy single dad, and billionaire wrapped up in a gift, then this is your jam.
If you’re looking for a book that will make you melt, cry, and then immediately need a cold shower, No, Don’t Ever Stop is the one. Marni Mann basically took the "Single Dad" trope and leveled it up to a point where my expectations for real men are now officially ruined. Gavin Worthington is a retired NFL star and billionaire with more emotional walls than a fortress, but the second he meets Emily, he is absolutely done for. The chemistry is high-voltage and starts with a one-night stand that was supposed to be "one and done," but the tension is so thick you just know they won't stay away. While the spice is definitely top-tier (seriously, it’s very heavy on the heat), the heart of this book is Gavin’s son, Ben. Seeing Emily, a nurse with a heart of gold, bond with Ben while Gavin watches from the sidelines is pure catnip for romance readers. Watching Gavin go from a guarded, lonely man to someone who realizes he deserves a second chance at a real family is such a beautiful, emotional arc that balances out the steamy moments perfectly. Ultimately, this isn’t just another billionaire romance; it’s a story about healing from loss and finding a "found family" in the person you least expected.
I love a widowed billionaire single dad who falls hard and fast while still trying to guard his heart, and this story delivered exactly that. Emily is content juggling multiple jobs to keep herself busy, and I found myself constantly trying to piece together the past that led her to where she is now.
Gavin's seven year old son Ben, absolutely steals the show, making every scene he's in pure gold. I also loved catching up with familiar faces from the previous book, though this can easily be enjoyed as a standalone.
What begins as a one-night stand keeps pulling them back together in the best way, and I was so happy to avoid a third-act breakup. I thought I might make it through a Marni book without crying this time, but no. She still managed to rip my heart out and brough out the tears, but at least it was a mild heartbreak.
The audiobook is a must with Savannah Peachwood and Teddy Hamilton, who are perfectly cast as Emily and Gavin, bringing so much warmth and emotion to the story. Even better, the audio is included with Kindle Unlimited, making this uplifting, emotional read an easy recommendation.
