I’ve always known there was just one woman out there for me.
So when I meet Quinn, there’s no doubt in my mind that she’s the one.
Only problem?
She thinks I don’t know what I’m getting myself into—thinks I’m going to eventually have a change of heart.
My curvy beauty is right about a lot of things, but this is one thing she’s dead wrong about.
I’m hers, and only hers, until the end of time.

Luca has a serious case of love at first sight when he spots Quinn across the room. The fact that she's a decade older doesn't faze him. In addition to being scorching hot, they are super sweet. 💜🔥🍦 I enjoyed this as part of the Big Hot Alphas box set.

Wanna hear a story about the hunky, ripped grad student who landed a modeling job and then took one look at the curvy, slightly older art director in charge of the shoot and thought…”she’s the one”? It’s an insta-love romance that brings on all the feels. Once you start you won’t want this quick read to ever end. Sadly it does, but I promise you will close this book with a brilliant smile on your face. LUCA was absolute perfection!! 5 Stars!

LUCA is the third installment in Kate Hunt’s Big Hot Alphas series. In this reverse age-gap romance readers witness the BBW and Alpha Male romance of Quinn and Luca. Readers met Luca in the second installment in this series as he is Titus’ younger brother pursing his MBA. On a whim, Luca agrees to model men’s loungewear as part of a photo shoot. This is when Destiny brings him together with Quinn, the art director. Sparks fly immediately. Quinn wrestles with the fact that she is 10 years older than Luca. He is unconcerned with this age-gap. Can Luca win her heart? To find out, you must read this book.
I enjoyed this BBW and hot alpha romantic short story. It is the perfect getaway from one’s hectic schedule. I enjoyed the chemistry between the two lead characters and Ms. Hunt captures quite well. In this BBW romance Ms. Hunt created two dynamic main characters that are multi-dimensional. Her supporting characters are also well-developed. I particularly enjoyed Dani, Quinn’s assistant. I liked the fast paced of this character-driven plot. I appreciate the vivid descriptions that draw readers into each scene. I am looking forward to future installments.

Add a rain effect and an umbrella and he is hotter but wait until she sees him in a button down and slacks!!!
Luca is twenty-five years old and in currently a poor grad student who is getting his MBA. He is also the younger brother of Titus, book 2 in this series. Last week while he was walking across campus a woman stopped him and asked if he would be interested in being in a marketing campaign. Once he established that she knew he was not a model and found out how much they would be willing to pay he said yes. After all he did need the money. So he now finds himself on a shoot, being oiled up, to have his picture taken while wearing pajama pants that are most like worth more than his textbooks for the semester. During the shoot his eye is drawn to the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen. While he is changing into some boxers and being oiled up again he finds out who she is.
Quinn is thirty-five years old and works as the art director for a men's luxury loungewear brand. For the latest campaign their existing models would not work for what they wanted. So a scout spotted Luca and now he is being photographed. Quinn is focused on the monitors during the shoot. That is until he changes into boxers and they are about to add a rain effect. She slips out of the room to get her umbrella and when she gives it to him she is stunned. He is huge, a solid wall of muscle but in a natural way, and hot, hot, hot. He literally takes her breath away.
After the shoot Luca talks with Quinn and asks her if he can take her to dinner. After a minute of thinking, as she knows he is younger than her, her mouth says yes. So the next night Luca picks her up and they head to a great Italian restaurant. It turns out he is even hotter in a button down and slacks. For some reason he is throwing her off-kilter and she is not able to be articulate during dinner. She keeps finding things that are added to the plus column for Luca - most attractive man she has met, sweet, funny, romantic, smart, good-hearted and great kisser which all add up to good boyfriend material. But Luca wants something more as he knows she is the woman for him. He is going to have to convince Quinn of that after she finds out she is ten years older than him. But he is not about to let her slip away and goes on an all out Instagram campaign to win her over, and let all the thousands of woman who liked and commented on a picture that was posted to the company's IG account.
Luca is the third book in the Big Hot Alphas series and he definitely is big and hot enough to star in an underwear campaign. But when he spots his one he only has eyes for her. This is a well written book with a wonderfully sweet and somewhat dirty short story which is also completely entertaining. The characters of Luca and Quinn are nicely developed and who you would love to have as friends. I enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to the next in the series.

Instant Love
Luca can't believe he was talked into modeling. He sure is happy though when he lays eyes on a beautiful woman who looks like she would fit in his arms perfectly. When he learns her name and hears her talk he's sure of it. Her voice and eyes make him feel like he's home. He just has to help her get over her insecurities.

Very Good
The third book is about Quinn and Luca. Luca was mentioned in Titus book. What can I say I'm a bigger sucker for sappy love stories. This one is so amazing. Quinn works on photo shoots where she meets Luca. He is modeling for a big pay out while attending grad school. Sparks fly and love is in the air. I love that Quinn is older. Its super sweet and full of fun.

LUCA
Quinn was worried about being older than Luca, but to him age was just a number. He saw her at the photo shoot and knew she was the one for him. I loved when he did the little card messages for her, because she was feeling insecure when his photo went viral.

Age is just a Number! OMG – Love it! This story is about an older woman and younger man. This is about Luca and Quinn. He is an MBA student and was approached to do a one-time modeling gig for pajama bottoms and underwear. He agrees as it will be money in his bank account but when he is there, he is second guessing it until he sees Quinn. He asks if she is single and the person assisting him tells him not that she is aware of and that he should ask her out. Well one of the props for the shoot is an umbrella and it belongs to Quinn, so when he is ready to leave, he approaches her to give it back but also asks to go out. She agrees but second guess that as well as she knows he is younger than her. The story takes off during their date and it is sweet and romantic. Her assistant is meddling in a good way and it helps as the ending is great for both of them… Luca is determined to get her forever one way or another because to him age is just a number!

I liked this short story. It was entertaining. The characters were interesting.
Luca is a college student that was approached for a modeling job. While at the job, he sees a woman and knows that she is the woman for him. Quinn is older than Luca and figures that he's too young to really know what he wants for the long term. He is determined to make sure that she knows that he is hers forever.
I don't usually read stories where the woman is older than the man, but this one was very sweet and quite enjoyable. I liked the way they met. Luca checking her out and trying not to because of what he was wearing was funny. Luca was awesome and I liked his family a lot. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book.

Luca is book three in the big hot alpha’s series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable. In need of money, cash strapped college student Luca accepts a one off modelling job. Whilst on the job, he meets Quinn, the art director. From the moment he meets her, he knows she is the woman for him. Quinn is attracted to Luca but she is hesitant due to the ten-year age gap and his newfound fans.
The chemistry between Luca and Quinn is clear to see and I liked them as a couple.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series.

I loved this book. Luca is Titus’ younger brother. When he is approached to do a modeling shoot he never expected to meet the woman of his dreams. I love Kate’s writing. I can’t wait for the next one. The grand gesture was adorable! Plus the epilogues. I loved Luca he was total book boyfriend material. Definitely recommend.

I loved this follow on from Titus in the form of his younger brother Luca. At a photo shoot he sees the woman of his dreams, but the curvy Quinn takes some convincing that the younger model has eyes only for her. A great little read.

Yummy!
We met Luca in "Titus" but if you haven't read that book it won't affect this read. I enjoyed the fact that this story had an older heroine in Quinn. I adored Luca and how he went about showing Quinn that age didn't matter.

Cute quick read. Luca is a graduate student who takes a modeling gig and meets Quinn, the art director. She is older than him by 10 years and that makes her a bit hesitant. Luca with the help of Quinn’s friend Dani does a cute photo shoot to show Quinn he is all in. HEA with an extra bonus epilogue you download.

Heads up people this is definitely a quickie! Not gonna give much away other than definitely saw potential for it to be longer which I personally would of loved so could get to know Luca and Quinn better, loved the epilogue tho...

Loved Quinn and Luca! When Luca is asked to do a photo shoot, he his eyes land on someone behind the scenes. When Quinn looks up, he's all she can see. Quinn doesn't believe anything could work between them because of thier age difference and her being the older one, but they just work so well together. Another hot and steamy read.
June 20, 2020
If you like books that you get immersed so intensely in the lives of the characters, then you have to read this book! I was so entranced by the intensity of their love, that I felt everything Quinn was while being under Luca’s tender ministrations. Yeah, it was very hot and steamy. Great epilogues too.

This is a younger man/older woman steamy novella. Luca and Quinn have an instant connection from the start and once the spark is ignited there is no stopping it. This is a short, steamy read and a great addition to the Big Hot Alphas series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
