Playboy Assistant

Society Playboys #1

by Roe Valentine

Jilted ex-bride Antonia Robuchon has been groomed to be a trophy wife her entire life. When her mother falls ill, Toni suddenly finds herself temporary CEO of the family business. Though against her life plan, she realizes she has what it takes to succeed in the workforce. While trying to convince the executive team of her value, she finds help in an unlikely source—her society playboy assistant, Fabian. The closer they get, the more she questions her initial opinion of him. Can she protect her heart and her mother’s secret?

Trust fund baby Fabian Pallis has a reputation of being a ladies’ man who can’t—and won’t—commit. When Fabian’s father insists Fabian prove he’s a responsible employee, he’s forced to work for an old classmate, Antonia, who grew up to be more stunning than he remembered. Sparks fly on day one, and he quickly wonders if she could be the one to change his relationship status. How can Fabian leave the job with work experience when all he wants is his boss?

Enjoyed the way in which the warring emotions of Fabian and Antonia were portrayed. They were told not to fall in love and the harder they fought their emotions the deeper they fell. Also enjoyed seeing Fabian encouraging Antonia out of her shell, enough to be able to stand against the chauvinistic powers of the board.
An enjoyable read.
I was given this book by NetGalley and the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

Playboy Assistant was surprisingly good. Usually I find office romances to be sexy and fun, but sometimes fluffy bits of romance. Playboy Assistant isn't fluffy by any means. It's sexy, definitely, but has substance.



As Antonia and Fabian find themselves in a sexy, naughty relationship, I couldn't help but wonder exactly how it would fall apart. There's always a falling apart so that when they come back together, it makes the reader all the happier. And they definitely fell apart here, but thank God they came to their senses, because these two definitely belonged together!

If you're looking for a fluffy, forbidden office romance, look elsewhere. If you want something sexy with depth, look no further than Playboy Assistant.

I received an ARC through NetGalley for an honest review.

Uncaged Book Reviews:

I think I drug my feet getting around to reading this one mainly as it seems to be marketed as an erotic – and even though I’ll read most anything, erotica is not a go-to genre for me. By the time I finished the book, I decided I had just read a contemporary romance, a love story. Sure, it has a couple hot sex scenes, but what romance these days doesn’t? So for people shying away from this because it’s in the erotica category, I hope you will change your mind. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast I read this – and that happens mostly when I’m enjoying the story.

This is well written, and I did learn to like Fabian as the story progressed, and some twists were not expected. Erotic love scenes that will satisfy erotica lovers? Absolutely. But just remember, it’s so much more than that.

I received a free copy via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Although the story is well written, I found this to be a predictable romance with the characters lacking depth.
Still an easy quick read.
