Kline Brooks. The Original Billionaire Bad Boy.
This Collection is perfect for all the new readers out there who have never met Kline or his Georgia. And of course all the upcoming Billionaires - especially our favorite idiot ... THATCH! 😍
But 'old' readers will love this book just as much - it was definitely time for a re-read and we also get a brand new Valentine's Novella!
BE MY BILLIONAIRE VALENTINE!

You can find my 'old' reviews for Kline's books
TAPPING THE BILLIONAIRE and
TAPPING HER
by ↑↑↑ clicking on the titles ↑↑↑!

The short review for the Valentine's novella is coming now:

And what can I say?

description

It was adorable and hilarious and romantic and sexy and crazy! 😍

This story takes place immediately after their honeymoon.
Due to many bad experiences and events, Georgie is afraid of Valentine's Day - which Kline just cannot accept. So he tries to get his wife to fall in love with the holiday. Thatch might or might not try to help. LOL!
This was just the most adorable little encore for this amazing couple/series.

The whole book was the perfect meet-cute for all future fans of our amazing billionaires and their ladies!

And I'm still asking myself: How are none of Max Monroe's books streaming their behinds off on Netflix yet?? The world is a weird and sad place!!

SWOONY BILLIONAIRE is an amazing extra for all fans of the Bad Boy Billionaires and the perfect introduction into our beloved characters for all soon-to-be-fans. READ IT!

Review: I liked this novella okay, but it wasn't my favorite and I found it fairly predictable. It had some funny parts and the marriage between Georgie and Kline is super sweet. But this novella didn't add a tone to the previous stories. It was more of a fun, quick, side note.

Whether you have met Kline Brooks or you haven’t this collection is pure perfection! It includes a full length novel plus two fun novellas that will have you laughing and swooning all over the place.

Kline and Georgia are absolutely adorable together and I love the two of them so much. Kline is downright swoony and you can’t help but want him to be your number one book boyfriend and Georgia is so awkward and sweet and you can’t help but want to be her best friend.

The full length novel (Tapping the Billionaire) and the first novella (Tapping Her) have previously been released are absolutely fantastic. The new novella, Be My Billionaire Valentine, is a perfect addition to Kline and Georgia’s story. It was full of the normal Kline swoon, plus loads of laughs and steam and of course, Thatch shenanigans.

Spend your valentines day swooning with Kline and Georgia! This collection is a must read if you’re looking for laughs, swoon, steam and an office romance.

Swooning all over the show!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE Benny and Kline!!
This collection was just a reminder of how much I Love this amazing couple!

Tapping the Billionaire was the first ever book I read of Max Monroe’s and it still makes me smile and swoon and giggle!!

I couldn’t buy Tapping her fast enough and again, just as awesome as I remember!

And then in this collection we get a brand new Valentines story.
Oh Kline Brooks, when will you ever learn not to spill your secrets to your main man Thatch?!? The antics that that man can and does cause is just hilarious!
And I love “listening” to Bennys inner thought, she’s such a crack up!

I 1000% fully recommend reading this collection! It’s a great place to start your Max Monroe obsession. You have been warned!

Kline Brooks, one of my favorite book boyfriends, is one of the reasons I fell in love with the fabulous author duo of Max Monroe. This collection includes the following three books: previously published Tapping the Billionaire and Tapping Her, and a BRAND-NEW novella, Be My Billionaire Valentine.

Book one is when Kline and Georgie first become an item. He’s not only her billionaire boss, but also a sexy tech savvy businessman, inventor, and investor with humble beginnings, a giant heart, and a great sense of humor.

She’s his marketing director and is smart, sassy, and gives him a run for his money. She is so darn adorable and loveable. He comes to realize the most perfect woman was right under his nose the entire time and he can’t keep away. I love how they don’t pull the “I can’t date you because you’re my boss” card. They do date, right away so no slow burn here...and even though she’s cautious, as his intentions were unexpected, she gives their relationship a real chance. Georgie is naturally drawn to Kline, and I love how she sees the good in him, that he is genuine and unpretentious. Their chemistry is smoking hot as he is pretty much a sexy beast in the sheets and our girl can keep up for sure! Maximum steam level and hotness!

There’s a bit of an underlying story in book one as they are testing out his new dating app, and it eventually gets him into some hot water, but do not fear, they work it out and do get their own HEA.

Her friend, Cassie, and his friends, Thatch and Wes, had me laughing out loud over and over...Her parents also cracked me up and his parents were so warm and caring and the reason he grew up to be a man of character.

Max Monroe always keeps me amused with their characters and I warn you to not sneak and read where you shouldn’t because the grin on your face will give you away every time. One of my favorite scenes is in the beginning and why he calls her “Benny.” So, so funny!

Book two steps up the antics while they are on their honeymoon and Thatch and Cassie also reappear more regularly. Georgie is now working for Wes who owns a professional football team which adds an exciting new element as Wes is also hot, rich, and single, and we know we are in store for more!

Book three is new and just in time for Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day has always been cursed for our sweet Georgie and her Swoony now husband Kline tries his best to plan a romantic getaway. Or he “lacked planning” as his buddy Thatch would say and is the reason he ceremoniously and uproariously steps in (without permission) to cause even more havoc in their lives. Gotta love him as Thatcher Kelly always means well! He has his eye on Cassie at this point and they get their own HEA in the next book in the series Banking the Billionaire. I truly loved every book and highly encourage you to read them all!

This box set is so much fun and such a great deal! Includes Tapping the Billionaire, Tapping Her plus a nowhere else novella Be My Billionaire Valentine.

TAPPING THE BILLIONAIRE

Oh my goodness. I adore this book, this whole series. Is it unabashedly over the top hilarious, sexy and adorably sweet. I’ve relistened numerous times – it’s the perfect pick-me-up.

Kline Brooks is a sexy and wealthy CEO. Georgia Cummings is his Director of marketing, gorgeous, and adorkable. These two are just precious together. Kline is so, so sweet and is the perfect fit for the sexy and sometimes goofy Georgia.

I love all the opportunities Monroe gives for these two to spend time with and get to know each other. Lots of zany and sexy adventures. There is the “big misunderstanding”, but I like how it’s resolved between these two. Kline knows how to do big gestures. 💗

Sweet epilogue that solidified the HEA.

Narration:
I think the casting of Eric Michael Summerer as Kline and CJ Bloom as Georgia are perfection. I cannot imagine anyone else voicing them. Bloom’s portrayal of Georgia hopped up on Benadryl is comedy gold. Such a delight to listen to.

TAPPING ME

This is a fun novella that covers some time between book 1, Tapping the Billionaire and book 2, Banking the Billionaire. Good for fans of the series, but doesn’t really stand on its own.

Alternating chapters/sections from Kline, Georgie, Thatcher, & Cassie’s POV. It’s mostly Kline & Georgia on their sexy honeymoon opposite Thatch & Cassie caring for Walter the cat.

Narration:
Eric Michael Summerer, CJ Bloom, Jeremy York, & Elizabeth Hart all do a great job. Perfect picks for their own characters yet still doing a good job with all the other personalities.

BE MY BILLIONAIRE VALENTINE

Cute additional novella that takes place after Tapping Her, but before Banking the Billionaire.

Kline takes Georgia on a Valentine getaway determined to break her claim of a “February 14th curse”. Thatch decides that Kline needs help and… typical hilarity ensues.

Narration:
Summerer & Bloom as Kline and Georgie are their perfect selves. Sexy and adorable. York as Thatch continues to be obnoxious perfection.

OH MY GOD...I've just fallen in love with Kline Brooks all over again!!

This collection is the perfect indulgence to enjoy the original Bad Boy Billionaire himself..Kline Brooks. The man who definitely puts the S in SWOON and the R in ROMANCE!!!

This fantastic romcom collection includes...

Tapping The Billionaire (The Billionaire Bad Boys #1), Tapping Her (The Billionaire Bad Boys #1.5), and Be My Billionaire Valentine (A brand new Valentine themed novella) All of which feature Kline Brooks, Georgia Cummings and their hilarious group of friends. Including the one and only Thatcher Kelly.

In Tapping the Billionaire your introduced to Kline and Georgie's love story which is humorous, sexy, heartwarming, and oh so much fun! You won't be able to get enough of this couple and their friends hilarious antics.

Tapping Her is an equally endearing and hilarious novella that showcases Kline and Georgie's continuing relationship making you fall more in love with this couple page after page.

Be My Billionaire Valentine is an all new story of Kline determined to give Georgia the perfect Valentine's Day despite the interference of best friend Thatcher Kelly. Which of course brings hilarious results as things go not quite as planned...but in true Kline fashion is still able to show his Benny girl that their love is perfect everyday.

Whether you're new to this series or have been a longtime fan, your going to love this collection. Max Monroe definitely know how to bring MAJOR humor, OUTRAGEOUS situations, and LOVEABLE characters I can't get enough of!

This is a MUST READ that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND putting on your TBR and doing it NOW! You'll so thank me later 😘❤

This is The Kline Brooks Collection and it includes Tapping The Billionaire, Tapping Her and a new story Be My Billionaire Valentine. Well where do you start, I guess it’s with I love Kline & Georgie and I was excited to reread the first two books in this collection but what I didn’t expect was the third book to top two of my favourite reads. This collection is a must read for all rom com lovers.

Tapping The Billionaire:
This is where we meet Kline and the gang we have all come to love. Kline and Georgie have an office romance going on, they have crazy friends who always want to be involved and their story will have you laughing out loud and falling hard and fast for the Bad Boy Billionaires.

Tapping Her:
This is Kline and Georgie’s honeymoon and whilst they are trying to enjoy the romance and the peace and quiet of Bora Bora, Thatch and Cassie manage to lose Walter the demon cat, Georgie loves so much. What follows is an hilarious tale as all the friends end up disrupting Kline normally when he is about to have some fun with the wife he adores. This story is not only funny, it’s hot and it had me falling a little bit more in love with Kline Brooks.

Be My Billionaire Valentine
A new novella that picks up right after the honeymoon, Kline and Georgie are settling in to married life but this man is a romantic and he is always looking for new and different ways to let Georgie know how important she is to him. Problem is Thatch seems to want to help and that normally means things go hilariously wrong, the plans may not go as expected for Valentines but all that means is Kline and Georgie will always know they don’t need a holiday to celebrate the love they feel for each other.......

This collection ticked all my boxes, I laughed, I swooned anf I giggled a lot and considering I’m reading the first two books for the second time, I think that should tell you how special and how funny this collection is. I highly recommended you one click this boxset.

4.5*

It was so nice to revisit some old friends! This is such a great collection- if you haven't met the OG Billionaire Kline Brooks and his Benny Girl, now is your chance!

5* for Tapping the Billionaire
Funny, sweet, sexy perfection...I absolutely adored this book! Kline has earned himself a place as not just a bbf, he is book husband material! He's a billionaire I don't have any trouble fawning over. Georgie girl, she is such a fantastic female character. She holds her own with Kline, she's his perfect partner. And the 2 of them together? They are everything I want in a fictional couple...I'm so in love with them.

4* for Tapping Her
So much fun! Loved revisiting Wheorgie and Kline, and Cassie and Thatch. This was an out-of-order read for me, as I read Banking the Billionaire between this and Tapping the Billionaire so I knew the connection Thatch and Cassie had, but it was still fun to see where it all started for them. So many laugh out loud moments in this short read. Kline is so swoony, Georgie has that completely right! And I just adore Cassie and Thatch, they are my favorities.

4* for Be My Billionaire Valentine
This novella didn't have quite as many laughs as the Tapping books did, but it definitely had all the swoon when it came to Kline Brooks! Here they are, just after their honeymoon, and Kline is already planning another getaway for Georgia, I mean what a man! There were some laughs though, thanks to the machinations of one Thatcher Kelly, that man is incorrigible.

I am ALL ABOUT a reread of my favorites and Tapping the Billionaire and Tapping Her are favorites.  I just added Be My Billionaire Valentine to the list.


What I have loved from the get-go with Max Monroe is their willingness to just say what's on their character's mind.  No filters, just the funny, and I love the antics that happen with these characters and this is the reason I continue to read Max Monroe faithfully! Of course, the Swooniest Billionaire takes his wife on another short honeymoon - because I would expect nothing less of Kline and OF COURSE, Thatch is there to screw it all up! 


Thank you Max Monroe for giving us this novella and collection of books so I was given the chance to reread the beginning of my obsession with your books!  Max Monroe continue to be the Queens of RomCom in my world

Amazing writing duo Max Monroe created a book boyfriend god in Kline Brooks when they wrote Tapping the Billionaire a few years back. His and Georgia's romance is the stuff of legend amongst their fans and we're always asking them for more from this couple. Finally, we get our wish. In this - the Kline Brooks Collection - Max Monroe has compiled the two stories that feature Kline and Georgia - Tapping the Billionaire and Tapping Her, as well as a brand new novella Be My Billionaire Valentine - which is so exciting! I was craving more Kline and I was so happy to read this short romantic story about him and Georgia. Max Monroe definitely love their fans and this is great for new and old fans alike - if you've never been introduced to Kline, then you can get all of his stories at once. If you love Kline like I do, you get all of his stories plus a brand new novella to keep you satisfied. And if there is one thing that Kline knows how to do - it's keep a woman satisfied. I loved this collection and I just know that you will too.

Okay, I'm just going to put this out there - I motherfluffing love Max Monroe and in my imagination they are my BFFs. Okay, that said, when they announced that they were coming out with a Valentine's novella for the original BBB, Kline and Georgia (or, as they're known to those of us who love them, Big Dicked Brooks and Whoregie - if you know, you know) and it was being packaged with the other Kline and Georgie stories, I downloaded it so damn fast. I absolutely used the fact that this was a compilation to revisit the earlier books and get in the correct mindset before reading the novella... and I regret nothing! For those reading this for just the novella, holy hell Mr. Brooks is still the swooniest motherfluffing bastard out there! He tries his hardest to show Georgie that she is not cursed for Valentine's Day, by planning a romantic getaway - in May. Despite Thatch's meddling, they still come away from it blissfully happily married. (Trust me, when Thatch is involved anything can and will happen!)

I adore Kline Brooks!! The Swoony Billionaire: The Kline Brooks Collection is the ultimate package of all things Kline! Max Monroe have put together a wonderful selection of Kline and Georgie stories, starting with where it all began in Tapping the Billionaire, to Tapping Her, and then a brand new novella Be My Billionaire Valentine!

I had the best time falling in love with Kline and Georgie again. Plus, the bonus Valentine novella had me laughing out loud once again. Max Monroe know now to write a hilarious but sexy story! You also get several appearances from the one and only Thatcher Kelly! A story isn't really ever complete without these crazy Billionaire Bad Boys messing around in each others lives. That is what makes these couples and stories so much fun! These three stories are not to be missed! This was just what I needed! This collection is not to be missed!

Tapping The Billionaire – Kline is successful, single, sexy and despite that fact he is charming while Georgia is sweet, sassy and his employee. They have been holding each other at a distant but once that line is crossed the sparks fly and that’s when the fun really begins.

Tapping Her – While Kline and Georgia are away to begin their life of wedded bliss we get to know Thatcher and Cassie as they are responsible for Walter, the cat who is determined to make their life difficult. Let the mayhem begin!

Be My Billionaire Valentine – Kline has the perfect Valentine’s surprise planned for Georgia to show her how much he loves her. What could possibly go wrong?

Humor, heat and all the feels as we get a chance to reconnect with the characters that we know and love.

All the stars. Not only do we get 1 Kline Brooks book, we get 3!!! And in the month of LOVE! And a hilarious getaway to Cabo??

I think we all know how much I love Max Monroe. Their books are just another level. It’s one of the rare authors that I can read over and over again. In this collection we get the OG Billionaire Bad boy, Kline Brooks and let me tell you. HE IS SO SWOON WORTHY!!!! The way these two are together, gah, I just love seeing their relationship!!!

Also, if you have never read anything of Max Monroe, please take on this collection and be introduced to the one, the only, Thatcher Kelly. This book isn't about Thatch, but he always makes every situation about him and you'll want his book too!

Oh My, Max Monroe I absolutely love your characters and your wonderfully creative imagination. What a fabulous collection of funny, sexy times with one of my favorite billionaires !
Kline and Georgia are back and so are all my favorite people that surround them. I was laughing out loud at the getaway antics and crazy situations they seemed to find themselves in. They just wanted some alone time and also to squish the concept of the Valentine curse!
We also had great novellas to enjoy with this book!

Loved it! Thatch is back, more ridiculous than ever. This hilarious, hot, fast paced RomCom is exactly what I needed to get a break from the pandemic realness that is life. Kline is swoony-er than ever, and definitely in love with his new bride Benny. I missed these lovebirds!

Kline and Georgia are my favorite couple. I listened to the entire Billionaire Bad Boy series on audiobook, so it was so great to read and go back to their beginning! What a riot these two are. Be my Billionaire Valentine was so funny! Thatch’s reappearance made for a crazy weekend. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

This is a fun collection with 3 books in one. It has the full length book tapping the billionaire, as well as tapping her which is a Novella and Be my billionaire Valentine which is a brand new novella!

I read Tapping the Billonare before I realized who MaxMonre was, and I instantly fell in love, it was a funny office romance romance filled with all the banter, definitely couldn’t get enough of these two!

Tapping her is a novella that takes place right after tapping the billionaire, it’s an extension of Kline and Georgia on their honey moon. You also get to see more of Thatch and Cassie... who were freaking hilarious by the way!

Now I’ll move on to the brand New Novella! First off who doesn’t love a hilariously funny holiday romance?!?!
If you love sweet, swoony, laugh out loud books you will enjoy this one! I loved seeing more of Kline and Georgia. Kline is one of my favorite billionaires in this series. He would literally do anything for Georgia, and you can really feel his love for her!

Georgia is extremely superstitious when it comes to Valentine’s Day, and refuses to ever celebrate... so Kline plans to celebrate Valentine’s Day in may instead, through in a little “help” from Thatch (one of his friends) and that’s when the craziness ensues!

Overall I really enjoyed this novella! I loved seeing more of all the billionaires together again! I defiantly recommend this Collection! you are new to MaxMonroe... or a returning fan. You will defiantly love this one.

Kline Brooks is the sweetest, sexiest, swooniest guy ever! I mean this man is perfect inside and out. The way he loves Georgie and wants to always make her happy is just the best. If only all men were like Kline Brooks. And the Valentine novella, I really wanted to murder Thatch too even if his heart was in the right place. LOL. I loved reading this all over again. Just all the feels.

4.5 stars
This audiobook is actually a collection of 'Tapping the Billionaire', 'Tapping Her', and the novella 'Be My Billionaire Valentine'. I'll review each separately below, but overall:

As much as I enjoyed Thatch and Cassie's story, I enjoyed Kline and Georgia more! I read the books out of order and while it worked for the most part, I'd definitely recommend starting with this one, it sets you up for Tatch and Cassie and I think I would have enjoyed them even more if I'd read it in order. Overall, I think Georgia had me laughing more than Cassie and that's what made this set a smidge better - she's just has an innocent kind of humor that I couldn't help but adore.

Tapping the Billionaire - 4.5 stars
This was hilarious fun. I was already familiar with Kline and Georgia because of reading the series out of order, so I was predisposed to love them. But I really think I would have regardless.

There are so many hilarious moments. In particular, their first date had me in stitches. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but it was hilarious moment after another. Georgia is a great character - she's smart, feisty, a virgin (in a not annoying way), with ambition. And her parents! OMG what a hoot. Then we have Kline -- Swoony Billionaire was the appropriate title for this collection, because he is most definitely swoon worthy. I love that he's a billionaire but doesn't live ostentatiously. Yes, he enjoys some comforts that your average person wouldn't (like a car service and a private plan), but honestly he uses them because his demanding career necessitates it more than because he wants to live big.

Watching them fall in love was great - it had a You've Got Mail element to it, since they are also talking on a dating app, having met their separately and under different names/pictures. The confusion this causes is the basis for the conflict in the story and it's done really well. Oh and if you like cats, Kline has a cat named Walter that also adds quite a bit of comedic fun.

This was narrated by C.J. Bloom (Georgia's POV) and Eric Michael Summerer (Kline's POV) and I loved their narration. They both sounded great together while delivering perfect voices for the characters.

Tapping Her - 4 stars
I think this novella worked better for me than it would have if I'd read in order. Because I already know Thatch and Cassie's story, I enjoyed this introduction to their romance a bit more than I would have - I think at least - because it's presented alongside Georgia and Kline's honeymoon. I'm basing this on the fact that when I read a similar novella in the Thatch/Cassie collection, I wanted more of the new couple that was being setup. But it's possible it's also just because I like Georgia and Kline a bit better than I like Thatch and Cassie.

I enjoyed both couples in this novella. The luxury and adorable sexiness of Kline and Georgia's honeymoon, juxtaposed by the hilarity and insanity of Cassie and Thatch's absolute FAILURE at housesitting and cat sitting Walter. Georgia's job is also getting more intense, which created a bit of tension, but not anything I was ever too worried about.

I love that for these novella's they're combining the narrators of Georgia and Kline's story (C.J. Bloom and Eric Michael Summerer) with the narrators that take up Cassie and Thatch's story (Elizabeth Hart and Jeremy York). It lets us get used to their POVs and I personally enjoy all the narrators and think they are good fits for their characters' POVs.

Be My Billionaire Valentine - 2.5 stars
While I still really enjoyed being with Georgia and Kline, this story was mostly dumb. I wanted it to be hilarious and I think that was the goal, but it was a departure from their typical humor and mostly fell flat for me.

Georgia has a bad history with Valentine's Day - so much so that she basically wants to ban them from ever doing anything on February 14th. She wants to stay home and just avoid the day entirely. Kline wants to undo her fears, so he plans a V-Day celebration in May. Sorry, that took the swoon factor too far and I swooned right into an eye roll. They are now crossing into that annoyingly in love category lol! I still love them, but I think that's where it started falling apart for me. And then Tatch gets involved and their trip is a disaster that they basically run from. And I think I was supposed to find what happened funny, but I just wasn't into it. So yeah, meh for me.

I did continue to love the narration though and I am glad I was able to listen to this final story with the swoony couple.

4.5 stars!


Kline Brooks is the original Max Monroe billionaire and he remains the swooniest. He’s back with his collection of stories that includes Tapping the Billionaire, Tapping Her, and the new novella, Be My Billionaire Valentine, where he takes Georgia on a getaway unlike any other and it is oh, so good!
 
I fell for Kline during Tapping the Billionaire and I keep falling for him with every new morsel of goodness we get. His original story delivers a hilariously sweet and steamy romance that will have you laughing, swooning, and falling in love from the beginning. This book is seriously funny. From the football play by play she relayed to Kline and Thatch, to the awkward but sweet first date, the whole book had me laughing out loud. I love how light and fresh this book is in the beginning as Georgia and Kline get to know each other. I also love that there is just the right amount of angst to keep me flipping pages until the very end. The epilogue left the story in a wonderful spot but I was still excited for more of Kline and Georgia in the follow-up novellas!
 

Read our FULL REVIEW of Tapping the Billionaire!


Up next....Tapping Her, which picks up directly after the end of Tapping the Billionaire. It is hilarious and sweet and is a great addition to Georgia and Kline's story as well as an introduction to what is brewing between Thatch and Cassie. Told from alternating POVs of all four of the characters, we get to see what everyone is thinking and it is fantastic. Georgia and Kline are still wonderful together and their love is strong and full of passion. I swooned right alongside Georgia every time Kline did anything for her. She was always on his mind and I fell in love with him a little bit more when he thought of her happiness and the decisions he made while she was out of town. I loved it!
 

Read our FULL REVIEW of Tapping Her!


And now we get a Valentine’s Day to remember. In Be My Billionaire Valentine, Kline brings the romance, the love, and the heat but everything else seems to go awry. A new adventure to add to their love story, we are in for a surprising and wild ride with this novella. I love that Kline continues to think only of Georgia. She is his number one and I swooned each time he puts her first. He has such a huge heart and he uses it to its fullest. I feel giddy when they are together and all the little moments they have that are just between them. Those moments that don’t need anything special to make them see how good they are together.
 
This new novella just proves how perfect Kline and Georgia are together. You can help but love them more when they realize that their love is all they need!
 
Overall, these stories give us the adorable, funny, and oh, so swoony love story between Kline and Georgia. It’s a fantastic collection and one you don’t want to miss!! I loved it!

3.5-4 stars. The Swoony Billionaire: The Kline Brooks Collection is a boxset containing Tapping the Billionaire, Tapping Her, and a new novella, Be My Billionaire Valentine. This set follows Kline and Georgia's romantic journey in all it's swoony and witty glory. Kline and Georgia are sweet and sexy together. This set is a great way to meet them if you have not read their story before!

My review for Tapping the Billionaire: 3.5-3.75 star. This was a good book! It took me a while to get into it. The beginning is rocky. It seemed like the book was trying so hard to be funny. Like every single line was a joke. But that settled down after the first little bit (so if you start this and are unsure, give it a little time to calm down). Once it settled a bit, it turned out to be a really sweet romance. This is Georgia and Kline's story. Georgia is a marketing executive for a large company and Kline is her boss. Kline is handsome, but a perfectly polite, fair boss. He has never shown any interest in anyone at the office, including Georgia. Georgia is funny, smart and quirky though. Kline is a really good, nice guy (no manwhore here) and he is tired of his mom trying to set him up with airhead society women. One night, to get out of date that his mom has set up, he tells her that he has a date and he decides to ask Georgia out. He has started to notice Georgia for the great girl she is and he thinks she is adorable. They have instant chemistry and they begin to date. They really are perfect and totally sweet together. But in the meanwhile, Kline's company has created a dating app called TapNext and requires all of the company's single employees to use it and give feedback. Georgia, using her best friend's photo, has been chatting (as friends only) with a guy (Ruck) on there using the name Rose. This leads to some drama: (view spoiler) But everything works out the way it should. I really liked both Georgia and Kline. Kline was so sweet and totally head over heels for Georgia from their first date. I liked that their chemistry was instant but they took the physical side on a slow(ish) progression (especially since Georgia is a virgin). Georgia was strong, smart and funny. They were really cute together, with great banter and good dirty talk and sexy times. Overall, I really enjoyed how sweet they were together and really enjoyed this book! I look forward to more from the mysterious duo that is Max Monroe!

My review for Tapping Her: 4 stars! A cute, funny novella about Kline and Georgia's honeymoon and about Cassie and Thatch's cat-sitting adventures. Laugh out loud hilarious, sexy and sweet! I can't wait for Cass and Thatch's story next!

My review for Be My Billionaire Valentine: 3.5 stars. This was another cute novella from the couple. I did feel like it was a little repetitive to read directly after Tapping Her, as they are both tropical vacation settings and take place in the same time frame. I did wish for a further jump ahead story, where we see them juggling their kids and stuff. Still, it was cute and witty. I enjoyed getting more of the couple.

Overall, you can't go wrong with Kline and Georgia. They are adorable together and love each other so much! This collection is a great introduction to Max Monroe's work and such a fun read!

Max Monroe’s Billionaire Bad Boy Trio have always been my favorites of their heroes.

In Swoony Billionaire you are able to read through Kline and Georgia’s love story from the unsolicited Hunchcock picture that started the ball rolling, to Casshead and Thatch losing Walter, to Kline and Georgia’s first “Valentine’s Day”.

If you haven’t read Kline and Georgia before, or if you a repeat visitor to their world, this is the perfect book. It includes the original Tapping the Billionaire story, the novella of Kline and Georgia’s honeymoon and then the ultimate present of a new novella featuring the Kline Brooks attempt at making Valentine’s Day perfect for his Benny Girl.

It’s been a few years since I’ve reread Kline and Georgia’s story. I’d honestly forgotten how laugh out funny they are. I loved reading through Leslie the incompetent intern, to Designer Wearing Dean, to Cassie, Thatch, Will and Wes.

From unexpected allergic reactions (honestly who ruins a perfectly good McCallen WITH LIME JUICE!), to the Benadryl scene that out does ANYTHING Hitch was trying to get to, to beat boxing Georgia, and plain outrageous scenarios that only Max and Monroe can come up with, this book had me in tears. Again.

My favorite part of Kline and Georgia’s story has always been when Cassie and Thatch collide. Watching the Kline/Georgia fall out from the Thatchantics is a double over, tear inducing, laughing.

My second favorite short from Max Monroe has always been the Cassie and Thatch duo “caring” for Walter while Kline tries to make Georgia “honeymoon”. Between the killer stingray, Wes acting the arse to wind Kline up, and Walter’s newly discovered love interest - this novella has always been my go to for immediate pick-me-up-ness.

The new addition of the Valentine’s Day novella though....
Ladies.
Max and Monroe.

I was reading this while my husband was attempting to watch a “serious classic film”. My laughter was so loud and constant he wound up pausing the movie.

I read him a paragraph.

He asked for the back story.

I read him a bit of the beginning of the novella. He asked more questions.

I gave him the background on the main players and then...I wound up reading him the ENTIRE novella.

We were both sitting on the couch at one in the morning, clutching our sides, and wiping tears. We’ve now added Cabo to our “must visit” list.

This new novella - just thank you. Thank you SO much. I don’t think I want to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the normal way ever again.

In all honesty - if you love the Billionaire Bad Boy Trio, I highly recommend that you add this book to your library. It offers you all the Kline and Georgia in one book.

For newcomers to the Billionaires, this is also perfect for you. The amazingness that are Kline and Georgia are all in one beautiful package for you. Flowing seamlessly from where they start and taking you through to Kline’s first grand gesture of love post marriage.

I do hope that Thatch and Wes receive a similar collection at some point. I’d love to have those all on my shelf.

I read Kline’s collection as an ebook, but I will probably also wind up looking for this collection in paperback. It’s the sort of book you’ll want on your physical shelf.

Final note for new comers to this trio - Thatch, Wes AND Will all have their own stories. Because Max and Monroe love us THAT much.
