The youngest brother finally grows up

Playboy is the third book in The Billionaire Brothers series and is the story of third and youngest Flemming brother, Andy, and Amber. Like most youngest kids Andy is a bit of a charmer and in life would be considered a playboy. He has also gone his own way which meant that he did not follow his brothers into becoming billionaires instead he is a mechanic who likes what he does. He is also okay with his lower career goals as he likes to live his life by his own rules. Amber is very much goal oriented and is determined to become a doctor. She is an only child so her parents instilled in her to work hard to get what she wants. These two are opposites but yet they bring something out in each other which is wonderful to read. That is not to say that there is not enough drama in this story to make a daytime soap with though, okay I exaggerate. But their story not without more than a few bumps along the way in the form on his crazy ex. But in the end they sort things out and get a great HEA.

I really enjoyed this story as it is different from the previous two in the series in may ways but yet it still fits well into the series. I really liked Amber as she is a woman who is more than able to stand on her own two feet and does not look to a man to take care of her. But that does not mean that if she finds the right man she cannot relinquish some of her control, as long as she is not riding in the backseat. Andy is sweet and very lovable in so many ways. When he meets Amber there is an immediate attraction but she also makes him want to be a bit more.

I received a free ARC in exchange for my honest review. This is my opinion and was not influenced by anyone.

Playboy is about Andy, the third Fleming brother. He has the party boy reputation, always up for a good time. He is no where near ready to settle down, king of the one night stands. Amber has been working as bartender, saving up for college. Her timeline though seems on an endless loop.

One night in a bar Andy steps up and helps Amber when she is being hassled. Andy had dated a friend of Amber's in high school but he doesn't recognize her. They share a bottle and implied innuendo which leads to a series of events that lands them both in jail.

With both families questioning their actions Amber wavers in what to do but Andy forms a plan. He needs to reform his life and surroundings and grow up to give Amber his love and life. Unfortunately people and events are against them. Can Andy prove his love and fidelity to Amber? Can she trust him at his word?

The story is witty and the banter between Andy and Amber is intelligent. The words fly quickly when they speak. When Andy connects to Amber, he realizes his life was spinning. He is brave enough to realize this and goes out out to make changes for her and ultimately him. Amber is strong enough to not lose herself in Andy. She wants to be a doctor and sticks to her goal to get her education. However when an issue rears its ugly head Amber is ready to believe the worst in Andy.

Their romance played out has sparks. Andy knows how to romance Amber and he quite often speaks to her from his heart. As a reader I was rooting for the couple. They are perfect for each other. The story reads pretty quickly and as this is book three in the series we do get the other brothers and their wives weaving throughout the story. There is also a perfect villain that you will have no trouble recognizing. Her motive becomes clear quickly. Amber and Andy are sure to win your heart as they did mine.

🌠🌠ONE FASCINATING ADVENTURE🌠🌠
Bashing britches becky! Kelli hits this tough as nails 100% on point ground shaking, tumultuous, boot-stomping rock-my-world on the head, presenting one helluva wicked rollercoaster ride, pouring foundations and pulverizing walls, launching this hot little number to staggering heights. Tumbling blindly through a vicious scheme of duplicity and menace while tracking through all the jealousy and vengeful spite, dishing out some small town justice with a twist and swirl, taking center stage and captivating the audience, wrapping this jewel up sleek, shiny and tight. Mayhem and mishaps descend in a tempest full of underhanded deception and backbiting tactics as the dramatic twists and wicked turns unfold and doubts are negated as the calculated diversions and perceptive strategies ensue, kicking this bad boy into the eye of the hurricane, booting it into a tailspin with mind-blowing realizations, catapulting this baby to life spectacularly. The attraction and chemistry collides with such intensity, exploding with boundless emotions and infinite affections, uniting them together flawlessly. The characters are complex, genuine and realistic with traits and qualities that balance and blend, with amazing depth and diversity with enough spice to add an extra kick to the mix. The scenes are strikingly sharp with abundant details and descriptions creating a colorful backdrop that makes the storyline pop. Fantastic job Kelli, thanks for sharing this awesome little gem with us.

Playboy took the cake with this book! This is about the last brother, Andy which is the youngest and somewhat of the black sheep of the family. Of course, Amber is an only child and brought up to make it big with her dreams of being a doctor. Well does a Playboy and Doctor match, well they do when they are being told to stay away from each other and Andy realizes that he does not need to be a playboy when he has met the only one, he wants to be with and make a change for.

I was somewhat disappointed on the dad side as he was tough on Andy for his action and where he lived. Andy was no billionaire although his two brothers were, he was a mechanic and was fine with that type of life, luckily for him Amber did not need anyone paying her way as she was a hard worker, so things were working out great until an ex came into the picture and had to mess everything up.

The question that you may need answered is how this all ended – yes with a happy ending but how – because that part of the story was SWEET! I would have to ask Kelli if she would consider an extended epilogue with years in the making to see how things turned out for all three brother – it would be a great book.

Young, new love
Playboy by Kelli Walker is an entertaining romance with an unforgettable beginning. While it could be considered disastrous, especially in a small town, it seemed to be the impetus for Andy to make some long overdue life changes. Andy impressed me with his about face; making changes in his life and pursuing Amber with determination, persistence and respect. Amber is equally impressive for standing up for herself as well as Andy to anyone and everyone.
The plot of this book is engaging as Andy and Amber set out to explore their budding relationship. The antagonist builds and escalates, inevitably creating havoc and a rift between Amber and Andy.
Overall, an engaging read about young love withstanding the test of manipulation and winning it all; Andy and Amber’s perfect HEA and promising future.

Amber is out with her friend Nick celebrating his birthday when she runs into Andy. They had been classmates but never really ran in the same circles. The end up getting into some trouble the night they reconnect but Amber doesn't let that stop her from seeing Andy. Andy knows that there is something different about Amber that night he knew his place was a mess and he was embarrassed to take her there to see it that way. Things seem to be going well between them and then someone from their past comes into the picture to cause some problems. Will that cause them to break up? Can they get their happy ending?

This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Their New Lease On Life -
It took me until chapter seven to really get into the story, but once I did, the storyline grabbed my attention and didn’t let go. Andy and Amber’s relationship may have started in the midst of chaos, but the heat between them was hot enough to singe your fingers, as each page is turned. Andy showed us in the story how a playboy can change his ways, if he finds a partner like Amber, who is worth his love. The adventures, scintillating encounters, bitchy exchanges and drama, will keep you entertained, whilst you devour the story. I definitely recommend this book as an addition to your ‘To Be Read’ list.

Third in the series of another splendid set. Andy is the playboy of the brothers and he is not ready to settle down by any means. Amber is a bartender that works, so she gets her degree to be a doctor. These two went to school together and Amber is Andy's ex's friend from then. Andy does not know who Amber is at first. These two meet and Andy helps her out of a situation. Andy realizes that he wants Amber in his life and changes his ways. Amber isn't sure if she can believe him. Then you get the crazy psycho ex that puts doubts into the minds. With the drama and the steamy times, can these two make it out in the end to have a HEA?

Andy has quite a reputation as a party animal and playboy. His father is, of course, disappointed in him. Amber is working as a bartender to save for college and attain her goal of a new start. When Andy ends up saving her from a jerk in the bar, they realize their attraction. Meeting her and seeing her with plans for her future, Andy starts to change himself for the better as well, with a few bumps along the way!

When Andy’s ex-girlfriend comes back into his life, it isn’t certain that his relationship with Amber will endure. Marianne tried to make trouble for Amber when she saw her with a co-worker, Nick. Will Amber and Andy get this all sorted out? Has he proven to Amber by now that he is not the same guy he used to be? And that he wants only her in his life?

Good story.
I liked this story a lot although it did seem to drag on for a bit to start with but once it got going I couldn't put it down. Andy & Amber's love story had me laughing, tearing up a couple of times but just as a happy ever after was on the horizon for them his ex Marianne decided to stir up trouble as she was jealous of Amber & I wanted to just grabbed her by the hair & slap her. Unfortunately Amber let her ruin what she & Andy had which got me annoyed with her then when Andy had done nothing to make her believe any different & the salvation & hero of this story was not who I expected it to be.

This is the 3rd story in the series about Andy and Amber. Andy is the little brother who is the “screw-up”. He is always getting into some kind of trouble, is a playboy and thinks everything can be fixed by being funny. Amber is a bartender at a local bar who is trying to earn enough money to go to college so she can do something with her life. Andy is instantly attracted to Amber when he sees her at a club one night and fortunately rescues her from being attacked. Andy and Amber hit it off almost immediately and Amber is not to sure why she feels this way and know what kind of a man Andy is. Andy and Amber face a lot of challenges together – crazy ex-girlfriend, trespassing, getting arrested together and family matters.

This story had me rooting for Andy the entire time. While he might be a playboy, something about Amber made him want to give all that up for her. He started caring about things he didn’t care about before. This story has romance, passion, chemistry, betrayal, lies, banter, deception and payback. Great story, great characters and I am looking forward to reading more from Kelli Walker.

Amber was a small town girl working as a bar tender trying to save enough for college to leave. Andy was the baby boy of a rich family of the same small town who always floundered in his brothers footsteps and found his way by being the clown and bad boy of the town. When Amber and Andy reconnected as adults they realize that they are extremely attracted to each other and as they explore their new found love they come face to face with their past, the law, issues of trust, family problems and so much more before Andy and Amber can decide if their love is enough. Fun read

What a story. I felt sad for Andy and his life, it was a good life with his mom but after and with the older brothers and not being near his own age. Amber is a smart woman earning money to attend school. They had gone to school together and are now hooking up in the school and are arrested. This book was so entertaining. I loved how they got together and the ending was perfect. The characters were wonderful. I liked that he worked on cars. This is a great story and part of a great series.

Amber meets Andy again at a bar. He had once dated her best friend Marianne but she dropped him for someone else. They get in trouble right away and end up in jail. The characters are terrific, with a lot of intense feelings and emotions. The romance has its problems with the ex and her conniving ways. Payback is a ** though and she deserves it. Loved the movie in the park and how family stuck by them. The ending was perfect... again with family close by. Very well done.

I was excited to read Andy’s story. The synopsis gives the impression that the story is about Amber and her best friends ex. While there are parts of the story that pertains to, I think the story is more about two people coming together (in humorous circumstances) and making each other better despite outside influences. Andy has been a playboy and not interested in settling down. Amber feels the same way. When they meet they hit it off and Andy knows Amber is somebody he wants more with.

Prejudice and betrayal
It's a great romance, hot, and full of twists and turns due to the rumors, the prejudices of the characters between them, the return of the obnoxious and loathsome ex who manipulates her former friend Amber and his ex, Andy. Rumors and manipulations cause Amber to question her trust in Andy, who himself lacks self-confidence due to his past.
The story is fascinating and moving because of their ups and downs.

This is the 3rd book in the Billionaire Brother's Series. It features Andy and Amber. There are so many ups and downs in this book, it's like riding a roller coaster. Andy is the definition of a playboy, but all it takes is Amber to make him change. His ex, she is a complete madwoman. I really liked Amber. She was a no nonsense girl and she intrigues Andy. This is a great read - you'll have to find out how things end. I do recommend this book. I did receive an arc for an honest review.

Andy definitely comes into himself in this book, in fact he feels like a very different character than the one seen in the previous 2 books.

A story of love, loss, betrayal and forgiveness really but a well crafted story with references back to the characters from the previous stories which I always enjoy

He's a playboy but when he steps in to help her when a guy won't accept no they hit it off.
Their night gets better that is until they are arrested and spend the night in a cell.
The chemistry between them is off the charts and their relationship gets better and but what happens when his ex comes back on the scene.
Loved the ending.

Andy and Ambers story had me from the beginning!! Amber is a bartender just trying to make a living. Andy is the "playboy entertainer" who thinks with humor. They have an instant connection, then Andy saves Amber from a difficult spot and the story just gets better from there. Andy finally realizes that maybe there are better things out there then just humor and bed hopping. Loved the roller coaster of the emotions in this story!!!!

I loved this book about the final brother in this series. Andy is the playboy, the mess up, the one going his own way. He meets Amber and is ready to be different and be better. Unfortunately someone wants to mess that up for him. So while navigating the newness of love they also have to figure out trust. Their story is such a good one with an amazing ending!

This book was enjoyable. Andy and Amber's story is really quite a ride. This couple has big challenges to overcome as their story unfolds and I really felt for them. Lots of twists will have you feeling tied in knots, anxiously wondering how things will ever work out for them. The chemistry simply sizzles, the emotions are deep and the drama thick. I am posting an independent, impartial review.

The playboy turns his life around when he meets Amber and realizes his life may have been spiraling out of control. The story at times is not easy as both Amber and Andy have their own reservations to get through but I liked seeing the growth in Andy more.
