The Manhattan Men #4
Mr. Romantic Romeo
Did Juliet stab Romeo in the back? Mine did.
Love is a fickle thing. You think you find it while on a beach on a business trip, and you’re wrong.
The beautiful girl that’s captured your attention has been sent there by her father, a rival of the great Manhattan family—my family.
She laid the trap real good, and thanks to the her curves and beautiful smile, my dumbass fell right into it.
But something changed in the middle of our love affair.
She stopped believing I was the villain.
Good thing, because I never was. A bit of a playboy, sure, but a bad guy?
Not a chance.
So we’re enemies. And we’re lovers.
Both of our big powerful families are after the investment of a lifetime at the resort we meet at.
The choice is ours—families be damned.

Mackenzie and Isac will take you on an emotional roller coaster in this addition to the Manhattan Men series. Fate brought them together on a Bali beach and he was sure she was the woman of his dreams. She was the daughter of his family rival but he didn't put two and two together, but she knew who he was. As she got to know him she realized that he wasn't the evil man her father claimed he was. What happens when she falls for him? What happens when he realizes that she betrayed him by spying and giving info to her father? How do they cope with the family business rivalry? Do they get their HEA. This was a cute book with a little steam and great characters with explosive chemistry. Well written with an engaging story line. I read a free advance copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Another great book to the series! The author does a great job building their story and pulled me in with the interesting storyline. He takes them on a journey of lust and love, secrets and deceit, heartbreak and forgiveness and finally happiness and togetherness. It's told in the dual POV, showing both of their thoughts and emotions and has a great supporting cast to help bring the story around. Loved and recommend this book.

This is book four in The Manhattan Men Series and it is Isac and Mackenzie's story and omg it is definitely a must read. Isac is in Bali at The White Heart Resort as they needed investors to expand and Isac was taking the lead for the business as it was a real that could make them a lot of money for the investment company where he worked. Mackenzie was in Bali hoping to win the bid on The White Heart Resort as losing to The Manhattan's wasn't a option as Mackenzie represented The Savage Corporation which was her family business and her dad told her to win at all cost and use every strategy necessary and she was determined to do just that as she always did as her dad told her to as according to him The Manhattan Family were enemies. Isac doesn't know who Mackenzie is but she knows who Isac is so when he asked her to have a drink with him and she turned him down as he was a womanizer Isac realised that he wanted Mackenzie even more. There are some twists along with betrayal, secret, family feuds, forgiveness, hope, love and some emotional situations that had you on the edge of your seat and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough to see what would happen next and I read this book in one sitting until the early hours of the morning as I just couldn't put it down as it was so addictive and I can't wait to read the next book in this series. The chemistry between Isac and Mackenzie was so strong and intense and the more time that they spend together feelings start to grow but what happens when all the secrets are revealed will this be the end for them or will they be able to sort everything out and get the happy ending that they both deserve. Jacob Parker is an amazing author and writer and the book's in this series just gets better and better and I definitely recommend you read this book and series and you will not be disappointed.

Isac finds his ever after
Isac Manhattan is in Bali for a chance at winning an investment in White River Resort. He is trying to get Jamie Alexander, owner of the resort, to pick Manhattan Investors. Jamie needs money to expand his business, and he only wants one investor to get in business with him.
Isac met Mac on the beach. He's attracted to her. He offered to put sunscreen on her back, but she brushed him off. She heads to the water to go surfing. Isac asked if he could join her.
They hit it off. He asked her to dinner. One problem is that she is the daughter of Roy Savage. He is one of their biggest competitor. He is aggravated with the Manhattan family. He will do anything he can to win.
Isac is falling for Mac. She is starting to have feelings for Isac.
Her father wants her to spy on Isac and find out what they are offering to Jamie Alexander for making this deal.
Mac is falling more and more for Isac. She can't do what her father wants. She doesn't want to lose Isac. She doesn't know what her father hates the Manhattan family.
Somehow, her father finds out what the contract is that Isac has offered and lowers the amount by 1 or 2 percent and submits it before Isac.
Isac finds out that Savage has won the contract. He decides to go to Bali to find out what went wrong. At the celebration, he finds out that Mac is MacKenzie Savage. He feels like his heart was ripped out of his chest. He figured she used him. He is so upset. He can't look at her.
She is so upset with her father for putting her in this situation. She realizes she is in love with Isac and she wants her happy ever after. But her father has ruined everything.
Isac wants her, too. But he doesn't know if he forgives her for lying to him.
Great story of competition and love. Will love win. Will their love of Bali bring them back? Loved this story. Loved the characters and their strong love for each other.
Jacob Parker did a great story on these two characters.

This is the fourth book in The Manhattan Men series by best selling USA author, Jacob Parker, and it's one that you won't want to miss! Isac Manhattan doesn't feel that the family trust him always as they should. So when he gets the job of acquiring a hotel in Bali to add to the family portfolio he knows that this is his chance. He's heart whole and fancy free until he meets Mac [Mackenzie] on the beach there, little realising that she is the daughter of the Manhattan's family 'greatest' enemy - the Savage Corporation. Mac is gorgeous and unlike anyone he's even met and they just 'get' each other. You'd almost think they were meant to be together except her father is ordering her to get the hotel for him and use Isac for information. Mac is bewildered with what to do. She knows that as soon as Isac knows who her father is that he won't want anything to do with her but if she doesn't help her father then he will have no use for her. What has caused this hatred for the Manhattan family she has no idea and her father won't say why. Surely they can't be doomed to live their lives without each other? Will Isac forgive her when he finds out who she is? I do know one thing for sure, I desperately want to go to visit Bali now. This is a page turning, sexy , fun read with plenty of passion and intrigue that kept me rivetted to my Kindle. I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of the story here. Most Definitely Recommended!!!!

Yep Isac the insufferable Playboy falls hard and fast
Hmmm I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. The Manhattan's and Savages' have been competitors and enemy's from way back. No one in the family but Britt and Roy Savage knew what started this feud. So when Isac went to Bali to try and close an investment deal things got interesting. First day there he spots Mackenzie Savage on the beach. The only thing is he has no clue who she is. Her father was hell bent on closing this investment deal no matter what. When he demanded Mac get close to Isac to get info she truly didn't want to be part of it. Turns out Mac and Isac had feelings for each other and this was becoming complicated. Isaac fell in love with Mac and still didn't know who she was until the Manhattan's lost the bid to her father. He and Otto went to Bali to confront Roy on stealing their bid verbatim. That's when he saw Mac with her father and brother. Needless to say it didn't go well. We know Mac didn't give the info on the bid so who the hell did. Isac didn't know Mac hadn't done it everything played out like she was involved and her feelings were a sham. Yep Isac was pretty messed up. He was a player he never let feelings get involved. The one-time he did he felt betrayed . I liked the way Mr. Parker played the rest of the story out. Yes there were a few twists and surprises and that's what made this read so good. BUT WHO STOLE THE MANHATTAN'S BID and gave to Roy Savage.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "MR. ROMANTIC ROMEO" I love this series each story just gets better & better this an emotional rollercoaster ride full of secrets, steam, family feuds, spying, loyalties, your hooked to the end.
Isac Manhattan isn't like his brothers no settling down for him he's the playboy of the family SRNT to Bali for family business to put a bid in for The White Heart Resort that could the investment company he worked at alot of money.
Mackenzie Savage is the daughter of Roy Savage who has it in for the Manhattan Family telling Mac to do whatever it takes to win the bid on White Heart Resort when she arrives in Bali she knows Isac is but when they meet she doesn't let on.
Mac & Isac's chemistry sizzles she fighting her attraction trying to stay loyal to her family but her feelings are getting in the way she knows her father from a young age has hated the Manhattan family she's put in the middle.
I definitely recommend to get this delightful story following Mac & Isac's journey can they over come the family feud & get their HEA you must this book to see what happens you won't regret it so well worth the read with great characters I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

I loved this book. It was more than just a misunderstanding. It was a downright lie.
Isac has been fighting for this big deal and he was so wanting to get it. This would prove to his family that he was more than capable of playing with the big boys.
Mackenzie aka Mac...loves everything to do with the beach, sun and sand. So it was no wonder she was in Bali working with her father on a big deal. She knew all about the Manhattan's and the feud that was between her father and them. But she really didn't know why it was happening.
So when Isac met her on the beach in Bali, she was well aware of who he was, but he had no clue who she was. She did not want her father to find out that she was even talking to a Manhattan man.
There was a definite pull towards this woman, but Isac did not know who she was. Even after she introduced herself. But he could not get her out of her mind.
What will happen when he finds out who she is? And what ends up being a twist that even he may not survive.
I love that this is not the usual misunderstanding. I love that these two are both strong people who have found each other. But at what cost and will they be able to get over what is a very big challenge.
Great read.
Enjoy

Old Grudge Verses New Love ❤
Isaac and Mac's story is a great addition to the Manhattan Men series, so hang on for a bumpy ride. Winning the bid in Bali to partner an expansion on a resort is just what Isaac needs to prove he's not just a handsome face. Mackenzie "Mac" is also in Bali with her father to represent his firm for the same project. Isaac is taken by the beautiful and mysterious woman on the beach, but Mac has the upper hand...she knows exactly who Isaac is. Mac is always trying to get approval and recognition from her father but he's gone too far this time. There is an old family rivalry but the origin is unknown to this generation. What happens when real feelings enter in the mix of this modern day Hatfield and McCoy feud?? What happens when Isaac learns the true identity of the woman he's taken in love with?? Will Mac choose love over family loyalty?? A wonderful story with real to life characters, his/her POV, no cliffhanger and a beautiful HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Looking forward to the next Manhattan story. Great job Jacob!!!

I am voluntarily leaving this review. I just love this series so much. It gets better and better. The drama/conflict suspense is great, the supporting characters were just right for the story and the love/hate chemistry and banter were perfect for the main characters.
Mac and Isac are definitely the modern day Hatfields and McCoys. Although Isac doesn’t recognize who the woman is that caught his eye on the beach, he knew without a shadow of a doubt that she would be the one to turn his playboy ways around. Mac knew who Isac was when he approached her, but knowing the family rivalry, she played like she didn’t know him. Unfortunately that put her in a predicament she wasn’t fond of. When she learns who the real Isac is, can she turn things around to keep him?
I absolutely loved this series. I bonded with these two because of their love for the ocean and I too have the spirit of a mermaid. I highly recommend this series, I cannot wait to see what Jacob Parker has in store for us.

A player gets played
Isac Manhattan thinks he has the latest deal in the bag and then he’ll be set in the family company. What he doesn’t count on is his playboy ways being tested. He meets the most intriguing woman he’s ever met, and she walks away from him. No one walks away from him, so now he’s on the hunt. What he doesn’t realize is who she is and what she will cost him.
Mackenzie (Mac) Savage knows exactly who Isac is and walks away from him because of the hostility between their fathers. Neither knows the reason, they only know it’s there. But when Isac pursues her, she gives him her mother’s maiden name. She thinks they’ll have fun until he finds out who she is. Then her father wants her to keep deceiving him to pump him for information, all in the name of family loyalty. Mac is not that person, but she loves her family. What to do.

Another great read from Jacob Parker!!!
2 rival companies going for the same investment property in Bali, what could possibly go wrong? MacKenzie is daughter to Roy Savage, who has it in for the Manhattan's, but none of the Manhattan men, specifically in this case, Isac, know why. MacKenzie Savage knows who Isac is, but he does not know who she is, again, what could go wrong....
MacKenzie wants nothing more from her father than love and a bit of approval. Isac wants to show his family that he is more than they give him credit for, and this investment is his key...
I hope anyone who reads this book enjoys it as much as I did!!

Awe! Isac may have appeared the player in his brothers’ books, but he’s really a mushy romantic at heart. Almost from the very beginning, this story has its own built-in time bomb that you just know is going to make a mess of everything Isac and Mac are building. I found it both compelling and a little off-putting, knowing the explosion that was in their future. Mac’s caught in such an impossible situation, I couldn’t help but feel for her. And Isac was just such a hidden gem within the Manhattan family. I love the happy ending they negotiate, but it’s a bumpy road they have to travel to get there. I don’t know which Manhattan is going to be up next, but I can’t wait to get my hands on him.

This is Isac and Mackenzie's (Mac) story. You can read it as a standalone but I reccomend you read the Manhattan Men Series as this is book #4. A lot of the characters are introduced in book 1 and then follow all the way thru. Mac is a Savage and her father hates the Manhattan family with a passion. From an early age her father has told her to avoid those Manharran Men as you can't trust them.
The Manhattan Boys know the Savage's hate their family but can't get an answer why from either of their parents.
An important investment opportunity comes up in Bali and Isac is sent to represent the Manhattan's they know MacKenzie will be representing the Savages.
Once I started reading this book I couldn't stop, so I read it in one sitting.

But Isac finds out the truth and even though he has fallen in love with Mac he is torn between loyalty to his family and the woman he loves. Can these two families put their differences aside for the sake of love?

This is an absolute must read.
When Isac is in Bali for business he spots a stunning woman on the beach but she keeps turning him down. What he doesn't know is that she is the daughter of a rival company who have a vendetta against the family company but don't know why.
Mackenzie knows who Isac is but keeps turning him down but doesn't really want to so when her father tells her to get close to him to get information she knows that she should say no.
The chemistry between them is off the charts but could it go anywhere when she is lying to him.
I loved how they were together but but could they get their HEA when he finds out who she is.
So much drama and plenty of emotion but also a brilliant ending.

An absolutely fabulous romance. This book is like a roller coaster ride of emotions and then changes to falling down the tunnel of love. You will love the way this book makes you feel. When they are together you feel like there are just clouds flurrying around them as if they are floating. Little hearts are popping all around your head while you’re reading. This book is that romantic. Secrets tend to reveal themselves exactly at the wrong time. You will fall in love with Isac just the way Mackenzie does. He is sweet, gorgeous, attentive, kind, understanding with a body that just won’t quit. They are not willing to give each other up, but don’t know how to heal their hurts. Fantastic, fantastic book.

So worth the read.
Isac and Mackenzie’s families are rivals in business because of a personal vendetta Mac’s father has for Isac’s father. They are in Bali for the same business deal. She knows who he is, but he does not know who she is when they meet on the beach. That does not stop the attraction between them. Mac’s father manipulates her into doing something she’s not comfortable with about the business deal. The guilt for her is overwhelming. They have so much in common, but can this ever work out between them? The steam between these two is off the charts. This is an interesting reading journey for the reader to see how this all ends.

And Isac was just such a hidden gem within the Manhattan family. I love the happy ending they negotiate, but it’s a bumpy road they have to travel to get there. I don’t know which Manhattan is going to be up next, but I can’t wait to get my hands on him.

Mr. Romantic Romeo (A Manhattan Men Novel #4) by Jacob Parker
Two highly driven buisness people meet and discover they are each other's half soul mate . Between them is standing a lie that will tear them apart. A trust is broken and it looks like it can not be repaired. Isac will never trust a woman again and Mackenzie is unconsolable without him.
Will love and an apology be what brings them together again or will a business deal be the catalyst to propel them back into each other's arms and beds? Entertaining and each character is believable with fairytale-like qualities. Well done on this 4th book Jacob Parker.

Not the Best in the Series!
Really did not like Mackenzie's behavior. She had several opportunities to confess to Isac and did not do it. Roy 's vendetta with the Manhattan family was petty for a so called successful businessman. Serious continuity problems in this story because first 3 books have 6 brothers and this one has 7, first appearance Gerritt! These books all have the same problem in that they need someone to edit who understands pronouns and their correct usage. All the books have this problem. A serious written must have thorough editing for both continuity in a series and correct sentence structure to be professional.

I received a free copy of the steamy New York set novella Mr. Romantic Romeo: A Manhattan Men Novel: Book 5: Isac and Mac by Jacob Parker and this review was given freely.
Beach loving investment brokers Isac Manhattan and Makenzie Savage meet for the first time at Bali’s White Water Resort.
I quickly became invested in the characters and the plot. Emotionally Intense with some steam without being over the top.
An instant attraction to more romance despite a family feud, a cutthroat and controlling father, and secrecy.

Wickedly fun story, remember the Hatfield's and the McCoy's, well this one is even better! Welcome to the world of the Manhattan's and the Savage's. Two rival families feuding for something? MacKenzie Savage was told to stay away from the Manhattan men, but one day she "accidentally" meets Isac and all bets are off. Instant chemistry but she is hiding her identity from him and it can all blow up in her face or not? Chemistry, drama, suspense, secrets unveiled and an HEA, the perfect mix that entertains you and will take you away to a beautiful beach! I volunteered to review this story.

Another great book in the series. I always enjoying getting to know one of the Manhattan brothers better. Issac is a class act who has a trusting heart. Mac is a strong, Woman who feels like the only way to prove her worth in the family business is to go ahead with her father’s cheating ways. I like the fire between Issac and Mac. They definitely had a connection and I felt like I was right there on the beach with them. I could hear the crashing if the waves. This is a great weekend, beach gateway and a definite recommend.

A business deal in Bali changed things. She knows him but he doesn’t know her. When they do meet, they are instantly attracted but McKenzie’s strings are being moved by her father. He is making her do things she doesn’t want any part of but she can’t get out of it. She worries how it will affect her relationship with Isaac once he finds out.
