Cunning Linguist

by Flora Ferrari

Olivia: Billionaire lawyer William Wesley has a way with words.

By day that sexy mouth of his sways juries…and by night it sways the hips of the most famous women across NYC.

At least that’s what the tabloids say.

But when I show up for my first day at work at his law firm, he’s not saying anything…

William: Cat’s got my tongue.

The moment I first lay eyes on this sexy kitten I’m at a loss for words.

But I really want to dive in head first and get lost in another kind of kitty.

And make the new paralegal purr like a good pussy cat.

Olivia: There’s no describing the magic this man holds in his tremendous tongue.

But there more I get to know him the more I learn there’s so much more to him than his oral skills.

He takes my breath away with his words, and I’m hoping he’ll take a lot more…something I’ve been saving all my life for that special someone.

William: I never thought a small town girl would bring the king of New York City to his knees.

The verdict’s in. I’m guilty of loving her and I’m going to do whatever it takes to make her mine. Forever.

*Cunning Linguist is an insta-everything standalone romance with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger..

This was a great short story. Olivia shows up and William is instantly attracted to her. He calls her into his office. she of course is freaked out. Comes to find out he wants her to watch his daughter and work for him at the office. Plus he wants her all for himself. This is a quick read but it gives you a HEA.

He never thought he would find the mix of smarts and beauty until she was in his office lobby

Billionaire Single Dad’s Babysitter is another insta-love, older man / younger woman romance by Flora Ferrari.
Ethan Stone is the CEO of Stone Solutions which is a large law firm that specializes in getting solutions for the wronged. Besides working hard he also has a reputation as a playboy being linked to anyone and everyone.
Olivia Barnett is a recent law school graduate who has also passed the bar exam. Her father passed away last year and has left her with a lot of gambling debts with the mob that she has to pay. Because of everything that happened during her last semester she did not have a chance to follow-up with the firms she did summer internships with to get a full time job. So instead she applied for and was hired as a paralegal at Stone Solutions.
One Olivia's first day at SS Ethan spots her in the lobby and immediately wants to know who she is but she gets onto the elevator before he can make a move. Instead he finds out she is a new hire and then sends for her to come to his office. There he has an immediate and very strong reaction to her and decides that if she is to work at SS then she will only work with him, and she will become his in other ways also.

This story was a really fun read as Olivia was a strong female character and Ethan allowed her to stay that way and ended up supporting her lawyer ambitions. He was able to trust her enough to share a huge secret with her and she recognized that this meant something which was deeper. Ethan is a true Alpha in that he wants to protect her and keep all other men away from her but his is also strong enough to acknowledge her brains, beauty, ambition and caring and allow her to flourish instead of stifling them.

I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

[Jenny Harris · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we Olivia Barnett and Ethan Stone. Olivia is overqualified for the position she took at Stone's company but she needs the money. She worked really hard to graduate but didn't full take of positions that she could intern at and gain the much needed experience she doesn't have right now. Ethan has never had a reaction to anyone let alone a woman like he has for Olivia. He knows the minute he meets her that she has to be his and his alone. So he moves her upstairs to a office that no one knows about and shows her his greatest secret. Olivia never knew that Ethan had a daughter and once she meets the little girl she knows why very few people know about her. Seeing this side of him makes her want him more. Can these two find that HEA they never knew they were looking for or will there always be something that will get in the way of that?

This is another amazing hit by this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. These characters will take you on a journey you won't want to get off of. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Loved it, sweet and steamy
Cunning Linguist aka Billionaire Single Dad's Babysitter

Olivia has graduated law school and passed the bar, but her deceased father's debt, forces her takes a job as a paralegal, to pay it off, before going into practice. She has choose Stone Solutions. There is something about it's CEO.

Olivia can't believe she being offered the position of PA to Ethan Stone. Ethan wants more. He wants her working by his side. He has an even more personal reason, someone he guards fiercely and closely, who needs her influence and guidance. She wants everything he is offering
Fast paced and steamy romance. With great epilogue's to wrap up their story.
I love Flora's books. They are an automatic buy for me. I know will get a great story with no cheating and a happily ever after.

Olivia Barnett is on her First day at work when she’s summoned to see the owner and CEO of Stone Solutions. She’s nervous and intimidated but attracted to the larger than life Ethan Stone, who’s a brilliant lawyer and always gets the job done for his clients.

Ethan sees Olivia and is instantly drawn to her he wants her for himself, he’s not been this attracted to a woman in his life but one thing’s for sure Olivia will be his. She’s applied to be a paralegal in his office and while he has no doubts she will excel at that he wants her working with him not for him.

Ultimately he offers her a job as a personal assistant of sorts, and Olivia takes him up on it and begins spending time with his daughter, but Ethan Wants more than a babysitter he wants Olivia in every way. Will he get what he wants?

This was a short read, too short! Don’t get me wrong it’s well written and the characters are good, the story just needed a little more development time, I’d love this if it had been lengthier and had a little more meat on its its bones 😊

[Rudy Red · Rating 5 out of 5]

Billionaire Single Dad’s Babysitter is yet another grand slam for Ferrari! Her characters continuously amazing. Ethan, for all his strong, stern, alpha maleness, possesses such a sweet, caring, nurturing side that you just can't help but fall in love with the guy. Olivia, as a small town girl in the big city, uses her difficult upbringing with a gambling addict father to give her the drive for better for herself. When she comes face to face with Ethan she is overwhelmed. Not simply by the power and confidence he exudes, but by how different he seems from his portrayal in the tabloids. Upon their first meeting, Ethan knows one thing for certain - she is HIS. His only one. Now just to convince her. While he goes on a business trip, Olivia baby-sits for his daughter. The one NO ONE knows about! Olivia is in his office chair when he returns to the office late from his trip. Trouble? Oh yeah! But only the good kind. Read this fast paced short read to see what happens when sparks fly between Ethan & Olivia.

Olivia has some preconceived notions of her new boss Ethan Stone. She feels he can talk his way through everything and his busyness and social life with glamour famous women seems to confirm that. She applies for a job as a paralegal because she needs to pay off her father’s gambling debt. He sees her the first day and he instantly knows that she is the one and vows to make her his forever.

This is a contemporary romance with great characters and an interesting story. The characters are interesting with strong personalities that make you want them to be together. He wants to control her and have her submit to him completely. She needs to overcome her innermost fears and insecurities and allow him into her life. There is some heat in this story but it is not the emphasis. This is about a man who knows what he wants and sets out to try to win the perfect woman for him. One that can give them both a lifetime of happiness. This is quick and easy read and great book for an evening to relax.

[Julianne Macneil · Rating 5 out of 5]

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the story of lawyer William and Olivia. William hires Olivia as a paralegal until he sees her and decides she is going to be his. William offers Olivia a job working with him and babysitting his daughter, who no one knew about. William wants Olivia and the more she spends time with him and his daughter, the more he wants her. I liked this quick read. I liked how Olivia wanted to handle her debts alone and never told William about them, knowing he would pay them. I think William was a strong alpha who knew what he wanted and was going to get it. I like how William had a different side to him that was different from what the public knew. Another great, steamy read from Flora.

[Raecharmed · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ethan is a powerful man and every woman wants to be with him. When he sees Olivia he knows that she is the one for him so he makes sure that she is closer to him. He promotes her to his assistant and gives her a secret task of watching his young daughter. Sparks flew between them every time they were together and soon Ethan couldn't wait any longer to claim his woman. Can he convince her to give him a chance? Will Olivia see how well they are together?

This is a steamy hot story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Wow - this insta-love story comes at you like a freight train! Ethan is the epitome of a man who knows what he wants, and as soon as he sees Olivia, she is all he can see. Nothing will stand in his way as he orchestrates her position in his company so that she is right where he wants her, while making sure he's giving her everything she could possibly want.

This romance has a thick side of sweetness, too, especially when we discover the history behind his daughter, Leah. The intensity of the story never lets up until we're left panting and sated after an amazing HEA! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[Lauren · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.25 Stars
This story is short, fast paced and easy to read. Although I liked parts of this story, I didn’t love it.
I did see some chemistry between Olivia and Ethan but I would have liked more. I felt the attraction Ethan had for Olivia but I didn’t feel like Olivia felt anything towards Ethan until the very end.
My only fault with this story was a few name mix-ups. When Olivia was talking to Ethan’s daughter, there were a few times she referred to Leah as Olivia.
My favourite part of this book was the ending. I liked seeing the love between Olivia and Ethan stronger than ever.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and a nice read.

[Laila Viking · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 star review:
A well written short story with nice storyline and plot. Characters are well described and develop nicely through the story. It is written in dual POV which gives the reader more of the feelings and thoughts of the characters.
It is a fast paced story that is very easy to read. It has romance, attraction, steam and a bit drama to it. I would have prefered more chemistry between the MCs because that would have given more to the story and captivated me more. Would have liked some new points in the story because it felt like reading some of the earlier.
But absolutely a story that was worth my time.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. This was a sweet, quick and sexy read. Olivia and Ethan were great. From the beginning the connection is strong. Olivia finds herself being asked to go to Ethan's office on her first day of work. She is offered a position different from what she was hired for and learns the rumors about him are not at all what they seem to be. Ethan has never felt the way he does about Olivia with any one else. He knows she is his perfect match. the was a fun rad and I loved how everything works out for them. Great HEA.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this quick story about Olivia and Ethan. He's the owner is Stone Solutions and according to the tabloids he is a Playboy. Olivia had just been hired by the firm when Ethan calls her into his office. There is an instant connection between them. But when he asks her to be his personal assistant and more by inviting her to meet his daughter Leah, she falls for him a little more. Great HEA as always.

For some reason I felt that I had read this story before... Many things are so similar to other stories written by this author. I have read quite a few but took a few months break, and as much as I used to like these stories, now they seem more or less to be the same... I just hope your opinion is better than mine. This author manages quite well to make a believable story - insta - everything .... But that is somehow not enough in this story. As always this is only my opinion.

Another smoking hot read by Flora Ferrari. Olivia and Ethan had chemistry that could not be denied. Olivia is an attorney but her dad died and left her with massive debts. So she applies to Stone Solutions as a paralegal. Ethan spots Olivia on camera as she enters his building and her life will never be the same. He wants Olivia and will have her. So to keep her close and away from the other men in his building, he hires her to work with him exclusively and as his baby-sitter. He will convince her they belong together. Can Ethan convince her they belong together? 5 stars!!!

Ethan knew the minute he saw Olivia that he wanted her forever. After finding out she was overqualified, he wants her working directly with him. When Olivia meets his daughter Leah, they also have an instant connection. He sets about intertwining her into his life and heart. This is a quick read with a great happily ever after.

Olivia gets called to the boss' office on her first day. What could she have done for this to happen? Ethan changes his routine and gets stopped in his track. Is he ready for his life to change?
