Miss Marni Mann had done it again ladies and gents. She has delivered another spicy good time and this time, the spice hits in the prologue! I repeat... THE SPICE HITS IN THE PROLOGUE. And listen that prologue sets the tone for this book. Do you know what else it did? It made sure that Marni stayed on her fairy smut mother throne.

But listen, if there is one thing about Marni Mann, I know exactly what I am getting with one of her books. We are going to have panty melting spice that comes along with a plot that will makes you not want to put the book down. The way that I picked this one up and devoured 60% in a matter of hours. I couldn't stop and I didn't want to stop.

I loved Colson and Sophie so much. Colson is our typical Marni overly confident billionaire alpha hole. He's ruthless when it comes to protecting his family and business, which is something Sophie quickly learns when she becomes his business rival. But listen, Sophie is a shark! This girl has no problem holding her own when it comes to Colson which only builds their budding sexual tension. Which these two quickly realize there is a very thin line between love and hate and it break with a good ole hate sex session 👀

At the end of the day, I gobbled this book up! Give me 5 more of them please! Now, I am so excited for our girl Eden's book next! We have gotten easter eggs of her story throughout this series and I am so excited to see what she has to tell!

Marni Mann Weston Group bk 04 The Irresistible One

Counter Offer

He’s naughty.
Dominating.
Alpha.
He would demand you to sit on his face, but he would also fall to his knees for you.
The best part … Colson Weston is ALL YOURS, ladies.

-- Note from the author 🔥

Colson Weston is unapologetically himself. Sure, sometimes I dislike him, but most of the time, I find him ridiculous and extremely entertaining.

Of course, no one softens him faster than his daughter Ellie. And, as is to be expected, my ovaries burst! There is nothing hotter than a doting father.

That evening, she had been the blonde in the red dress, and here, she represented my nemesis, who was trying to destroy my family.
-- Colson Weston

I love that Sophie Rivers goes for what she wants. Sure, she's submissive behind closed doors and a sucker for her daughter, Abbi with an 'i', but she's an absolute firecracker.

I can't wait to see what comes next for this family. Eden's story is sure to be worthy of the tough, fierce woman that she is.

I listened to the audio book. Of course, I'd prefer this in duet, but the narrators, Desiree Ketchum and Teddy Hamilton, are great as they are. I love the attitude they bring to these two. 🎧🩷🎧

Colson is a busy single dad, he doesn’t want to date, nor does he have the time to date. He chooses to indulge in a private club, Lush. He had an unforgettable night with a blonde bombshell and a brunette. He’s still thinking about the blonde a few months later. The Weston group is facing some legal trouble with their business rivals over the acquisition of a restaurant. Their lawyers Dalton and Troy warn Colson, the Gordon’s lawyer is a shark. That lawyer is the blonde he can’t stop thinking about, Sophie. That explosive chemistry from the club is still there, but now as rivals, there is so much tension that it results in some of the hottest banter. These two are like oil and water, the back and forth between them causes sparks to fly. Their paths keep crossing, at their daughter’s gymnastics class and another hot night at Lush, but this time Colson leaves her wanting more. Colson exudes charm, is always in control, and is used to getting what he wants. Sophie is intelligent, ambitious, and won’t be intimidated. Colson loves to rile her up and Sophie enjoys challengeing him at every turn. There is always an undercurrent of sexual tension that they both struggle to ignore. Between all the banter and spice there are sweet moments that will melt youir heart. I don’t know how this series keeps getting better with each book. Marni’s writing is so addictive that I can’t help but be consumed by her unforgettable characters, epic spice, witty banter, swoony romance, and the perfect amount of angst to keep you hooked.

A Few Favorite Quotes:
“That mouth. I could hump his face; it was so dirty.”

“I want to get on my knees.” Her eyes pleaded with mine. “I want to suck your dick.” It took every bit of restraint I had not to ask this incredible woman to marry me.

“Me:How strong is your bedframe?
Sophie LOL. I have no idea. Why are you asking?
Me Because I’m about to fucking break it.”

“Sometimes, the most powerful moments are the ones where nothing is said.”

“But I want the partnership too. The friendship. The companionship. I want the emotional and physical support. I want to share my life with someone.”

5🌟, 3.5🌶️

I had an absolute blast with this one and honestly I couldn’t put it down.

Colson and Sophie pulled me in from the very beginning, and every chapter left me wanting just one more. Between the sizzling chemistry, sharp banter, and emotional moments, this was one of those books that completely took over my day in the best way.

Colson and Sophie were everything I wanted in an loathe to lovers romance. After one unforgettable night together, they find themselves on opposite sides of a legal battle, and the tension between them only gets better from there. I loved that Sophie could match Colson at every turn, and watching two strong, stubborn people slowly let their guards down made their relationship even more satisfying. Their connection as single parents, along with the sweet moments between their daughters, gave the story so much heart.

This had everything I love in a romance. Incredible chemistry, addictive tension, unforgettable banter, plenty of spice, and characters I couldn’t help but root for. Colson and Sophie were such a perfect match.

I finished this already desperate for the next book because this series somehow just keeps getting better. 😍

Huge thank you to Marni Mann and Valentine PR for the ARC! 😍 All my bookish thoughts are completely my own. ✨

Sophie and Colson weren't expecting to see each other again after their super hot one night stand and Colson definitely wasn't expecting Sophie to be a shark of a lawyer for his rivals in a heated lawsuit. The tension and chemistry between these two was seriously off the charts. They were constantly being forced together for one reason or another. The was so much push and pull between them and their connection was undeniable. I loved the tension filled moments and how they kept challenging each other, but I also loved the sweet and tender moments they shared with each other and each of their daughters. They filled in each other's missing pieces. Sophie and Colson were perfect for each other and this was a great edition to the series.

Fire & Ice

Billionaire single dad Colton meets irresistible Sophie at Lush, a fantasy playground where the rules are simple: one night, no names, no strings. Except Sophie doesn’t stay a stranger for long. Turns out she’s the high powered, take no prisoners lawyer representing his business rival in a lawsuit against his family’s restaurant empire and the mother of Colton’s daughter’s new best friend. She’s the definition of forbidden and Colton cannot stay away.

This was exactly the escape I needed. Colton and Sophie are fire and ice and their chemistry practically jumps off the page. The enemies to lovers banter? Loved it! The spice? Off the charts! I thoroughly enjoyed the push and pull between them and watching them slowly learn to trust each other.

My favorite part though was the single parent connection. Watching Colton and Sophie bond over their daughters added this soft, tender layer to all that tension and their girls are certifiably adorable.

I am so here for the Weston family, especially Eden. Her book cannot come soon enough!

This series just keeps leveling up and I’m all in.

When you pick up a Marni Mann book, you know you are going to get the extreme spice and a man that is all alpha. Especially with these Weston men. But be prepared, because Mann starts off with spice in the prologue. Are you ready??

The Irresistible One is the fourth book in The Weston Group series and it was like BAM right out of the gate with Colson and Sophie. They exchanged no names and didn't know who the other person was. Just a hot threesome in a club for one night. Until later when Colson walks into a meeting with his lawyers and their opposition who is represented by an all too familiar face. Only this time, she gives nothing and is an absolute shark in the boardroom. The insane chemistry they had at the s3x club is all but forgotten once they are on opposites sides and they are anything but friendly. But that tension translates to some hot and angry banter that I couldn't help but love.

"I love to hate you too, Sophie."

I gotta be honest here and the way this one started seemed quite familiar. Instant sex at a club? I wasn't sold. But then the way Mann took a million steps back and had them become enemies, fighting against one another? I loved it! I ate it up. Because once their paths crossed, they saw each other everywhere. And it wasn't all pleasant, even if the blonde shark captivated the opposition.

While I did have some thoughts initially, I loved the way Sophie and Colson were so tough and loved to hate each other when it came to work. You could feel their hate banter rising, but it was so full of sexual tension that you're just waiting for it to snap. When it comes to business, they are all business and going head to head, but then there is the added fact that their daughters attend the same gymnastics class and are now BFFs. A new and fun layer to add to the hate to love situation.

Two single parents that are on the opposite sides of a work situation filled with tension and some delicious hate f*cking, The Irresistible One is one hot ride with some good twists concerning the FMC. But like I said before, it starts hot and then slows down with a couple unexpected hook ups along the way. Even with those trysts, it almost felt like a slow burn to get them back to their initial attraction. That is, until we learn a bit more about Sophie's past and are introduced to her brother and her whole "found family" that she has back in Florida. I loved that aspect of her life and how it softened her a bit. It also brought Colson into it for a whole other reason. This part of the book gave some real meat to their story and showed how the characters grew over time.

Overall, this was a great addition to the series and I loved the hate to love scenario because of some workplace competition. To see two strong MCs that were also single parents, but also ended up being connected in different ways throughout was entertaining and made it that much more fun when they finally gave into the chemistry that was always there.

"I liked how you turn almost every conversation into banter. How you make me want to fight and how you make me want to love....Our chemistry, Colson, is something I've never experienced. The way you possess my body and know exactly what it needs."

I love an enemies to lovers romance but finding a “real” one where they literally hate each other for at least half the book is so rare nowadays. This book delivered on all of that, the tension, the not so friendly/playful banter, and the eventual hate turning into love that I adore. The plot and chemistry were on point with this book, because their arguments basically became foreplay and the spice was burning hot. She’s the “shark” attorney against The Weston group and they HATE each other, but the attraction from their one night stand is still strong. I loved how they’re both so jealous it’s adorable, she only realises she actually likes him when she sees him with someone else and gets jealous. They’re both so oblivious and it’s hilarious to me. I also loved how they would just constantly see each other in random places coincidentally, like the universe was placing them together or something. Their banter was so entertaining, especially the first time with the whole Abby vs Abbi thing. Seeing their hate turn into love was a beautiful and so fragile thing, especially with the crazy plot twist that had me screaming. I admit though, the last 20% was pretty filler and although I loved the cute conclusion to their story it was a little dragged and the whole lawsuit was never actually settled. However I still really enjoyed this, especially with how cute Abbi and Ellie were, and I give this a 4/5

holy hell!! Colson and Sophie brought the heat from the very first page!!

Then it was right down into the heart wrenching angst! It was wham-bam-angst-central. The pining and the will-they-won't they hit so damn hard...

But once the spice and sweetness began, it made all the angst worth it. The spice.. oh boy, it was steam on top of a steam fest!!!

Thank you Marni for an advanced copy.

The story kicks off with a scorching prologue at Lush-an exclusive, anonymous club where fantasies become reality. Colson is the billionaire COO running lead to protect his family's law firm from a massive lawsuit. Enter Sophie, the ruthless, brilliant attorney hired to tear his family's empire down. Suddenly, the woman he can't stop thinking about is the ultimate forbidden enemy.
The Characters:
Colson Weston: The ultimate alpha hero.
Outside the courtroom, he is a protective, devoted single dad. Inside Lush, he is dominant, possessive, and completely captivated by Sophie.
Sophie Rivers ("The Shark"): A fierce, unapologetic black cat heroine. She is sharp-tongued and guarded due to a heavy past, but she is also a loving single mother fiercely protecting her little girl.
Favorite qoutes:
"The blonde in the red dress...
Everything I physically desired in a woman was staring at me in red. Curves my hands would love to graze."
"The sexy bombshell who ruined me for anyone else is now the one person who is completely out of my reach. Off-limits.Untouchable. Forbidden."
Final Thoughts: The Irresistible Man by Marni Mann was my favorite book from the Weston Group series, and it absolutely deserved 5 stars It is chaotic, passionate, and impossible to put down!

Marni Mann is the queen of alpha billionaires. You know you are going to fall for her MMC and The Irresistible One was no different. Colson is a single dad and part of The Weston Group. He helps run the operations but when they are faced against The Gordon’s and a lawsuit, they need to fight to keep their restaurants in operation. They come up against a tough lawyer, Sophie. Sophie is also a single parent.
Turns out they have a lot in common and have met before. Their lives continue to be entangled together and before they know it, the two cannot get each other out of their systems.
These two were electric from the start. They had amazing chemistry, banter and spice. I just loved them together and their interactions were filled with tension, spicy moments, as well as, sweet ones too.
Their daughters brought out the best in each and their interactions were so cute. I just love single parent stories.
There is lots of drama throughout the story and twists throughout which I am here for. I loved the push and pull and the will they or won’t they have the story.
I have loved all the books in this series and The Irresistible One is no different.
This is a billionaire, single parent, forbidden, enemies to lovers romance. It is a hot and spicy read!

The irresistible One is book 4 in The Weston family series.

Just when I think Marni Mann can’t top her own work, she does !
The Irresistible One was utter perfection, her hottest, spiciest book to date. If you can’t tell, I loved it.

If you’re a fan of the following tropes ~ You’re going to LOVE this one


💴 Billionaire romance
❤️‍🔥One night stand to Enemies to Lovers
💗Single Dad & Single Mom
🔐 Forced Proximity
🌶️ Spicy
🏡 Found Family
🛥️ Millionaire yachts & lifestyle

Place a do not disturb sign on your door, your phone etc until you finish this incredible book.
This story is hot, hot, hot 🔥

Colson Weston, single dad to his adorable daughter Ellie. Billionaire & COO of the Weston group.
He doesn’t trust easily, he’s sworn off relationships. They most definitely aren’t on his bingo card so he attends Lush, a sex club to meet his s3€ual needs. He’s a passionate, dirty talking flirt.

As soon as he spots Sophie they enjoy a night neither one will forget.

Sophie Rivers is a single Mum to an equally adorable little girl but that doesn’t prevent her from being a bad a$$ boss babe lawyer. Known as the shark for her relentless actions & hard work for her clients. She’s a complex character, she’s loving, caring & loyal to those she cares about but she’s a closed book, she doesn’t know how to let anyone in, even though she wants to.
She’s deeply wounded by her past, which for me just made her even more a very likeable character. Despite her snark, she has a vulnerable layer that makes her feel like a person who you could be friends with.

Sophie and Colson soon discover their lives are about to become more entwined than either ever imagined.
Shes representing the Gordon’s, the Weston’s biggest restaurant rivals.
Both are locked in a nasty lawsuit that has the potential to ruin the Weston’s reputation.

Colson has met his match in Sophie. After their one night stand, one to remember for both of them, so obviously here comes all the Forced Proximity Goodness!

The anger, frustration & animosity between them causes some extreme chemistry so buckle up cause this one packs some heat, straight from the beginning

The snark, the banter & many different relationship facets that Marni delivered were phenomenal! This couple is goals and I want to be Sophie Rivers when I grow up 🤣🤣

Marni edges us readers to the brink, with the back & forth between Colson & Sophie but it is absolutely worth the wait!

Marni delivers another banger (literately) 🤭

I can always count on Marni to give us a spicy billionaire romance where the MMC falls so hard and this one was it!

I mean the prologue?! Talk about spicccccy!!

Colton spends one night with Sophie and immediately can’t stop thinking about her. Only to find out they are rivals inside the boardroom. And let me tell you, these two go at one another, but inside and outside of the bedroom.

While they may be rivals, they can deny the pull towards one another!

Devoured this one! If you love a spicy romance, this is for you!

What to expect:
✨Billionaire Romance
✨Single Dad
✨Enemies to Lovers
✨One Night Stand
✨Boy Obsessed

Spice: 4 🌶️

I will never not recommend Marni Mann if you are looking for a dominant billionaire alpha hole!

Colson and Sophie were both absolute badass’s. After a one-night stand, they meet again in a negotiation between the Weston’s and the Gordon’s. Sophie is the Gordon’s lawyer, and she is ruthless. Colson and Sophie are instantly attracted to each other, there’s also dom/sub dynamic in this book. I can’t wait for the last book in this series, Eden’s story.

O Marni, I have absolutely LOVED this series! But this one… THIS ONE was just everything😍🔥The Irresistible One is book four in the Weston Group series, and I knew this one was going to be spicy, and it absolutely was delicious, but it was SO much more than that!

Colson and Sophie are two incredibly independent, successful single parents, and from the second they meet, the chemistry and connection between them are absolute freaking FIRE. 🔥 One unforgettable night at a private club, where neither knows the other’s identity, leaves them both wanting more. But, as always, life and circumstances have other plans. Because these two that are so obviously inevitable for each other quickly discover they’re on opposite sides of a legal battle. Sophie is the lawyer representing the company coming after Colson’s family and their company. I loved that Sophie could match Colson at every turn. She was strong, smart, stubborn, and absolutely not intimidated by him. Their banter? PERFECTION. The angst? SO GOOD. The slow burn? Absolutely addictive. And the tension between these two just kept getting better and better! Hot, burn, fire, there aren't enough words for the heat these two have. 🥵

I also LOVED getting to see so many of our past favorites, The Weston family and get a tiny look into Eden’s story!

Watching these two slowly let their guards down was just so emotional as they both became so vulnerable. And I LOVED their connection as single parents. Their daughters were so precious! This just had EVERYTHING I love in a romance: incredible chemistry, addictive tension, unforgettable banter, angst, a delicious slow burn, plenty of spice, and just a feeling so real and raw.

I can’t wait for Eden’s story. I already know she’s absolutely going to break our hearts and we are going to fall absolutely in love! Please read this series!

📚 BOOK REVIEW 📚

The Irresistible One - @marnimann

This book deserves all the stars as it was so addictive. I absolutely loved it. Marni Mann has become one of my favourite authors. She just knows how to write billionaires and I'm hooked on her every word. I escape in the worlds she creates and I cannot get enough!

This was such a heartwarming story that has a spicy start. Colson who is a single Dad and Sophie who is a single mum collide together to have the most wonderful family. They are probably one of my favourite couples that Marni has written. They hit a spot so deep and I felt so connected to them.

Colson and Sophie meet at Lush and spend a very spicy evening together. It was one night that neither have been able to forget. But then they keep bumping into each other. Firstly through their daughters and at Gymnastics club. But the don't see eye to eye when Sophie is the opposing lawyer when the Weston's are being sued. This provides such a fun setting and a lot of push and pull and wittu banter.

The way their relationship develops over time was great. They went from lust, to hate, to love and throughout it all was their chemistry.

Sophie was a real tough cookie and there was lots of amusing banter from her. Colson was yummy. But their love of their daughters will melt your heart. And so will the love they have for one another.

Just an all round great read from a top author.

I have absolutely loved the Weston Group series, and Colson's story was everything I hoped it would be. It kicks off with undeniable chemistry from the very first chapter, and somehow the story only gets better from there.

The attraction between Colson and Sophie is instant, making it impossible not to get invested. But things quickly become complicated when they find themselves on opposite sides of the boardroom. Sophie is fierce, ambitious, and absolutely ruthless when it comes to her career, while Colson and his family are just as determined not to back down. Their sharp banter and constant clashing had me smiling the entire time, and every argument only fueled the chemistry simmering between them.

One of my favorite parts of the story was that both Colson and Sophie are devoted single parents. Their daughters completely stole my heart and added so much warmth and humor to the story. Sophie has overcome so much in her past to build the life she has now, and I really connected with the walls she has built around her heart. Watching her slowly learn to trust again made her journey feel incredibly authentic and emotional.

The chemistry between Colson and Sophie practically sets the pages on fire. Logic tells them they should stay away from each other, but the pull between them is impossible to ignore. Their relationship is filled with tension, passion, and emotional growth, making every moment together worth the wait. I completely devoured this book and couldn't turn the pages fast enough.

The Weston family is quickly becoming one of my favorite families from Marni! Be ready because this book is spicy!! This was such a good read! I love single dad books and Colson is definitely one of my favorites! He is so sweet with his daughter Ellie and she just has him rapped around her finger! On the other hand Sophie is also a single mom to the a cutie of a daughter. Ironically, their daughters are best friends.

Marni Mann has done it again! I loved returning to the Weston family, and Colson's story was everything I hoped for. As a sucker for single parent romances, I loved watching both Colson and Sophie put their daughters first while slowly opening their hearts to each other.

Sophie's resilience and determination, shaped by her difficult childhood, made her such an easy character to root for. Colson's own past left him just as guarded, but seeing their walls come down and their relationship evolve into something full of trust, love, and a beautiful blended family was incredibly rewarding.

And that ending? I've been waiting for Eden's story, and now I need her book even more!

The Irresistible One is book #4 of The Weston Group series and features single dad Colson Weston. This naughty, enemies-to-lovers, single dad, billionaire romance is full of steam. Marni Mann likes to keep her characters very busy is the sexy department.

Colson has certainly met his match with Sophie Rivers, lead attorney representing his #1 competition in the restaurant industry. Of course, there are crazy situations before and after they go to battle. I personally wasn't a fan of the prologue. That was just not my thing. I also thought that Colson's story would be much different than what was laid out for us. But, as it was, Marni lights every page on fire and incinerates the entire story. Can't wait for Eden's story next!

The Irresistible One is book four in the Westin Group series, and it follows Sophie and Colson.

Marni just gets it. She wasted absolutely no time bringing the heat, and the chemistry between Sophie and Colson was off the charts from the very first chapter.

After one unforgettable night together at Lush, Colson walks into a meeting the next day only to discover that the opposing lawyer is none other than Sophie. Talk about awkward… and incredibly entertaining. The tension between these two was unmatched, and their banter was top-tier. Every interaction had me smiling.

Neither of them can stop thinking about the other, no matter how hard they try. And when Colson discovers that their daughters are best friends? Let’s just say he isn’t about to let the opportunity to get closer to Sophie slip away.

I loved the push-and-pull between these two. The chemistry, the tension, the flirting, it all kept me completely invested. Marni knows exactly how to balance swoony romance and sizzling spice!

I already know the audiobook is going to be incredible, and I can’t wait to experience this story all over again.

What to expect:
Lovers to Enemies to Lovers
Loathe to Love
Forbidden
Single Dad
Single Mom
Business Rivals
Black Cat
Boy Obsessed
Guarded Heart
Mutual pining

Thank you to Marni and Valentine PR for the E-ARC!

Colton and Sophie were fire! I love a good enemies to lovers story and this book did not disappoint. This author’s fast becoming one of my favorites. When these two meet at Lush, there’s just something about Sophie that draws him in and what happens there usually stays there until it doesn’t. Never did he think he’d walk into a meeting with his lawyer and see Sophie walk in as the lawyer for the other party. What Colson didn’t expect was the fire, passion and boldness Sophie has and that my friend is the start of it all. I loved the banter, loved their girls who were besties even though they loathed each other. This was a fun, sexy read I couldn’t put down. Loving this series.

Colson Weston. Single dad, billionare, and soft dom. The Weston brothers do not disappoint, thats for sure. The single dad trope is one of my favorites, and Colson is perfection.
Sophie Rivers is a shark of an attorney. She is a fierce single mom, she wants to be dominated in the bedroom(never in the courtroom), and things get messy because she represents the Weston's competition.
If you love great banter, a true enemies to lovers, elite adult club, and single parent romance, this is your book.
This is the fourth book in this series and I will be sad when its over. Marni has created such great characters who each bring their own flair to the table.

Fantastic book!! This book is so well balanced with plot, spice and chemistry between all the characters especially the mmc, Colton $ fmc, Sophie. This is single parents with both having little girls. If you like a book that has a strong fmc that can hold her own not only in the courtroom but also the bedroom then you will love Sophie!! Sophie is the lawyer that is representing the people that have launched a lawsuit against Colton and his family business. Sparks & tempers fly between these two and wow such a great book!!

OH YESSSSS!! I believe this book is my favorite in the series (so far).

The Irresistible One is Colson's story, just as much as it is Sophie.

Marni sets the stage of this book with the prologue. And let me tell you, this book is explosive both in and out of Lush. WOW!!

I want to say so much about this book because it is sooooo mouth-watering good. The Weston Group is being sued and Colson is one who is running lead on this one. And then he comes face-to-face with the attorney looking to take it all from his family's law firm - Sophie.

These two are fire both in their respective jobs and when they're at Lush, living out their desires.

GAH!! That is all I am saying - just read this one!!

Not quite 5 stars because the kids are supposed to be 4 years old but they don’t act or sound like 4 year olds.

But otherwise I LOVED the story! The tension was delicious. The way they meet and the sex club was hot!! Marni’s sex scenes are always well written! And her MMCs are always obsessed with their woman, just the way we want men!

Desiree Ketchum and Teddy Hamilton were perfect for these two characters!
