Synopsis

Who are we? Like you even need to ask. We’re the seven richer-than-sin legacies causing debauchery at the prestigious Astor University in Manhattan.
Some call us spoiled.
Some call us trouble.
But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.

Daire Connery
“The Bad Boy”

I’m not a man of many words. But when I do speak, it usually starts with F and ends with you.
Keep to myself. Don’t let anyone in. That’s how I like it.
That’s usually how everyone else likes it too. My scowl keeps them all away—all except him.

We may both be Park Avenue Princes, but we would never work.
We don’t belong in each other’s real worlds.
He’s too soft for mine; mine’s too harsh for his.

But I can’t stop thinking about him. About those pale grey eyes that see right through me. The ballsy way he gives right back whatever I dish out.
I like that. Respect it.
Want more of it…

Which is why when I find out his ex is bullying him, it makes me want to rip that bastard a new one. Makes me lose my goddamn mind.

Because no one touches Gavin Truitt. No one but me.

Excerpt

As I pulled open the door, Daire stayed planted right where he was on the sidewalk, like he was debating whether to go in or tell me to screw off. But then he sighed and put out his cigarette on the bottom of his boot before heading inside the busy pool hall.

This wasn’t the kind of place Daire went to often, that was for sure, but I’d been to most of them throughout the city, though I’d had to change up the locations often. Regulars weren’t fond of pool sharks.

“We already know how this is gonna end,” Daire said as we both scoped out the scene.

I couldn’t help but smirk. “Admitting defeat already?”

“This is the only place you can kick my ass, and you know it.”

“True. But I don’t plan to kick yours tonight.” When Daire lifted a brow in question, I nodded toward a table of two guys already playing. “We’ll be kicking theirs.”

Daire followed my stare, and as we watched them take their shots, I filed away what I could see as our future opponents’ strengths and weaknesses to use to our advantage. Although once they got a look at me, I doubted they’d see me as a threat. For some reason, most didn’t until it was too late. Donovan called it my “angel effect,” that because I had what he deemed a sweet, angelic innocence about me, it was easy for me to catch others off guard. So I did what anyone in my position would—I played into it. And won a shit-ton of money every time I did.

“A couple of beers,” I told the bartender, and had to put my hand over Daire’s mouth before he could protest.

Once the bartender walked off to grab our order, I lowered my hand, and Daire cursed.

“A beer? You don’t even drink those.”

“I don’t?” He was right, but it was the fact that he noticed that sent a flutter through my chest.

Daire’s eyes narrowed on mine. “No. You don’t. And neither the fuck do I.”

“We do tonight. Trust me.”

As the bartender dropped off our beers and uncapped them, I slid some cash across the bar.

Daire was looking at the bottle as though it were full of piss. “Care to fill me in on whatever’s goin’ on in your head?”

I forced myself to take a sip of the beer without making a face. “First, we’ve both already had a few drinks and we don’t need to get sloppy. Second, holding a beer makes us nonthreatening—” I stopped and realized who I was talking to. “Well, makes me less of a threat, and you need all the help you can get, you scary bastard.”

I swore I almost saw Daire crack a smile at that, but if he had, it was gone just as quickly.

“Once they see you make your first shot, they’ll be onto you.”

“Maybe. Or maybe I’ll just have some help from a better player.” I shrugged. “Someone to show me the ropes. I might just have beginner’s luck.”

Daire snorted and shook his head. “Never would’ve taken you for a hustler.”

“I guess there’s a lot we don’t know about each other,” I said, twisting to face him. Part of me stirred at getting to show Dairea side of me he hadn’t seen. Showing him something I was good at, since all he’d seen of me lately was being a victim, and that’s not who I was. Not by a long shot.

Another reason I didn’t need another, stronger drink? Because I wasn’t sure I’d be able to resist trying for another kiss if I had more alcohol in me, and right now we just needed to reset our friendship and have a good time. Not the easiest thing to do when all I seemed to notice now was how dangerously attractive Daire was. How had I never noticed it before?

Oh, right. The perpetual scowl that warned everyone off, not to mention his oh-so-friendly demeanor. But I’d gotten a glimpse of what lay behind the mask, and it was too intriguing to forget.

“For this to work, I’m gonna need you to play along,” I said. “Whatever I say, just go with it.”

“Do I look like someone who follows?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll let you lead in other ways.”

It wasn’t often I surprised Daire, but I saw the quick flare of his nostrils, and there it was again. The heat between us sparking, but not yet igniting.

He took a long swig of his beer, barely masking his disgust, and then nodded toward the tables. “Let’s go fuck with these assholes.”

I grinned and tapped my bottle against his, and then let him lead us to the table I’d pointed out earlier.

“You two almost done?” Daire said to the guys as one called out the left corner pocket to make his final shot.

“No,” the one bent over the table said, and then aimed true, pocketing the eight ball. He stood up and looked us over with an assessing gaze. “You can join the next round if you’ve got the cash.”

Pretending to frown, I tugged on Daire’s arm and said loud enough for them to hear, “What does that mean? We have toplay for money?”

“You’re catching on.” The guy smirked, adjusting his backward ball cap. “That a problem?”

“We were hoping for our own table,” Daire said coolly, crossing his arms as I fidgeted with the sleeve of my shirt.

“That’s too bad. Not a free table around here for the rest of the night.”

Daire looked down at me, and I made a show of biting down on my lower lip nervously.

“I want to play, but—” I started, and Daire cut me off.

“Then we’re in,” he told the guy, who was grinning like he’d just won the lottery. Probably thinking he was going to empty our pockets tonight.

“Good. We’ll start at…” He glanced at his friend, who leaned in to whisper something in his ear. “Five hundred.”

I blanched, playing my part. “Dollars?”

The guy shrugged. “If you can’t handle it—”

“We can handle it,” Daire said, and I wanted to laugh at how easily they were falling into our trap. Five hundred bucks for what we were going to sweep in a matter of minutes? Hell yes.

After peeling off a few bills and slapping them on the edge of the table, Daire grabbed a couple of cue sticks off the wall. He handed one to me, and I followed his lead by chalking up the tip.

After introductions—the guy in the hat was Dale, and his friend was something I couldn’t pronounce and decided to rename as Chip in my head—Dale racked up the balls.

“Tell you what,” he said, “we’ll let you break first.”

“You can do that,” I muttered, sticking close to Daire’s side.

He shook his head and pushed me toward the head of the table. “You have to learn sometime.”

“But—”

“Just do it like I showed you.” Daire moved in beside me, so close I could feel the heat of his body through his clothes and had to suppress a shiver. He moved one of my hands up the cue and reached around me to position the other near the bottom.

Holy shit. I’d never been so surrounded by him before, not even when he’d kissed me, and it was all I could do to keep playing my part when all I wanted to do was sink into him behind me.

“Now bend over.” His breath was warm on my neck as I followed along and tried not to take his words out of the contexthe meant them in. “Aim hard and fast.”

I nodded, and the warmth of him left me as he moved aside to let me break. I centered the cue ball, letting my hand slip so it rolled out of my grasp.

Chip and Dale didn’t bother hiding their chuckles as I scrambled to grab the ball and put it back in place. Glancing over my shoulder at Daire like I needed the support, he winked at me—fucking winked at me—and I turned off the role I’d been playing and easily slipped into one I knew I did well.

My first shot slammed the cue ball into the others, breaking them swiftly and sending several into pockets.

“Oh fuck,” I heard one of the guys say, but I ignored them as I zeroed in on my next shot.

And then my next.

And my next.

I swept the table without letting them take a shot, and when I landed the eight ball in a center pocket, I straightened and smiled at their shocked faces. Then I scooped up the money and fanned my face.

“Five hundred, was it?”

Chip—no, that one was Dale—looked at the empty table, humiliation and anger replacing the initial outrage as he turned back to me. The realization he’d just been taken hit him like a swift uppercut to the jaw.

Huh, would you look at that? It seemed all this time spent around Daire had me thinking like him.

“You played us,” Dale said, narrowing his eyes.

“Technically, I didn’t play anyone.” I couldn’t help my smug grin as I leaned against the table. “I’m just that good.”

“You’re a fucking cheat.” Chip stepped up beside his buddy, balling his hands into fists by his sides, and this was usually the part where I cut and run. As soon as I sank the eight ball and pocketed the cash.

But I figured with Daire standing watch, I’d take a second to enjoy my moment in the spotlight.

“I didn’t cheat.”

Dale threw his pool cue on the table. “Then what would you call it?”

“Reading the room. You sized me up as someone you could beat. I sized you up as— wrong.”

“You hustled us. You’re a shark.”

“You held the table ransom for five hundred. I just freed the hostage.”

Dale stepped toward me all but vibrating with fury, and before I could blink, Daire was in front of me, the discarded pool stick in his hand, the tip of it under Dale’s chin.

“Take another step and I’ll shove this thing so far up your ass you’ll be using chalk as a Chapstick.”

My eyes widened at the threat, but I couldn’t help but think how hot it was to have Daire defending me. Super hot.

“Fuck you and your little blond bitch.”

An ominous growl rumbled out of Daire, and I quickly sprang into action, reaching for his arm.

Daire, stop. It’s just a game.”

I tugged on his shirt, hoping to get through to him before this turned into an above ground fight club. That was the last thing I wanted.

“Let’s just go,” I said. Daire looked down at where my hand rested on his arm, and I squeezed. “Please?”

He grunted and threw the pool stick aside, reaching for my hand.

Daire was holding my hand.

My breath caught as our fingers touched, and it was as if the entire world vanished and we were the only two there. The heat from his hand raced up my arm and infused my whole body. His grip tightened and he led me away from the table, away from danger, then pushed out onto the busy street.

Scandalous Park Avenue Prince (#3)-Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank


๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘

Is the third book in the park avenue princes is about no other that Preston Abernathy “ the perfect guy” the son of a senator and the doting boyfriend of Serena Carrington or is he? What happens when all of that is a facade and if that isn’t scandalous enough you’re in love with your girlfriend’s father. 

I’m loving this series since i first read Infamous park avenue Prince I knew i wanted Preston story he was the straight friend in the group, the one with the girlfriend the overall perfect guy, I couldn’t wait to find out who would shake that perfection out him, to be honest I never thought it was going to be his girlfriend’s father ๐Ÿคฏ. Let’s just say he definitely out scandalized everyone in the group (so far). Preston and Archer was definitely amazing story. It was fun, sexy, not angsty just the right amount of conflict without being too much. Seems like Brooke and Ella are kicking the spice level up in every storyline, dare I say I feel like this story was spicier than the last two Donovan and Sin might disagree but Preston was no nice boy, 

Overall this was nice read if you follow the series you would love this one. You can’t help but get hooked on those Park Avenue Princes they will definitely deliver the unexpected.

Insatiable Park Avenue Prince(Park Avenue Princes #2) - Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine

 


What happens when you walk into a questionable place and are face with a SINful temptation will you give in?  


Insatiable Park Avenue is The story of a favorite prince Donovan Truitt “The model” and Kelly “Sin” Sinclair “The porn star” 


After a very funny The meet/cute where Donovan  ends up on a porn shoot instead of his next modelling assignment when he's given the wrong address he is met with temptation in the form of “Sin”. 


I really loved this book it was funny, low angst it was very spicy I even think the spice level was a bit higher than the first book but most of all I like the characters, Donovan was a very well liked character, his such a romantic and very wise which if you read book one you will know all about it. And “Sin” is just as wonderful. The flow of the story was very well done, they were totally involved with one another from the start and just let the relationship growth since both knew what they wanted without the unnecessary drama between them.


Overall this was an enjoyable story if you read book one you will definitely love this one is a perfect book to sit and enjoy. I only wish Ella and Brooke will give more clear hints of what to expect of the other princes.

Illegal Contact (Playing for the keeps #3)- Riley Hart & Neve Wilder


 Another amazing addition to the series this the story of Malik Tucker and Patrick Whitt two very different players who happen to be rivals since their childhood but what happens when an unexpected proposition turns into what neither expected will they be playing for the keeps? 


This is definitely an amazing addition to the story, it was sweet, sexy, and surprisingly low angst but with  a layer or emotion that tie the story perfectly. Both characters were amazing Tucker was this straightforward and sweet man that knew what he wanted once he made up his mind and Whitt had so many layers because of his upbringing and lack of support but beneath all of that he was an amazing man that just needed love and to know he was worthy of it. I like that  the timeline of this book overlaps with the previous two books because not only you get to experience scenes from previous books in different POV but also because you get to experience their growth and how they fall in love.  This is probably my second favorite as Cullen and Houston (False start #2) are my most favorite of the series which made me love the cameos more and definitely sealed my love for Cullen I’m desperate for a specific scene in Houston or Cullen POV ๐Ÿ˜‰

Overall this is a great book if you been following the series you will definitely love it.

Infamous Park Avenue Prince(Park Avenue Princes #1)- Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine



Love it!!!  It felt like Gossip girl and Elite with sprinkle of She’s all That and you get the world of The Park Avenue Princes. 


Infamous Park avenue prince  is the Story of Weston LaRue and JT Hawthorne. One is a spoiled rich playboy, doesn’t like the word no and is used to always get what he wants and the other is a studious, shy, obedient, and a bit naรฏve. Two very different men who had one thing in common the Astor University Dean, Except one is the son and the other one wants payback. what better revenge than corrupting the Dean’s golden child, but what can go wrong surely no one will fall in love right? 


I really love the story it was a fun, easy read but at times heartbreaking because JT was such a cinnamon roll and you couldn’t help feel bad about the inevitable fallout of the bet .  But although I was a bit mad a West I got to admit I love how he was slowly but surely falling in love and doing things he never thought he will do and especially love how his character was progressing throughout the story without changing his essence same with JT he open a side of himself but never left what made him who he was.  This a very great start of a new series I definitely can’t wait for what’s to come for next six avenue Princes who will make them fall to their knees. If you like MM college romance, billionaire playboys that need to be knocked down a bit, secrets or if you just want to read a good book definitely pick up Infamous Park Avenue Prince ๐Ÿ‘‘


One thing Ella and Brooke JT needed to make West beg more he deserve it especially East he needs to be knocked down a bit I felt a vibe  of jealousy there ๐Ÿ‘€. Oh and I need to read about Caleb and Travis what’s the situation there and Preston will he change his mind and who will change it. Cannot wait. 



Thank you Ella Frank, Brooke Blaine and Foreword PR for providing me with an ARC for an honest review

False Start (playing for keeps #2)- Riley Hart & Neve Wilder

 


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My favorite from the series!!! I need an epilogue of the epilogue and any extra or deleted scenes, Please!! 

False Start is the second book in playing by the keeps series, an MM second chance story and is the story of Houston (brother of the MC of Rookie move)  and Cullen. 

As I said before this by far my favorite from the series, from the very beginning I was hooked, I mean when you open the story with an airport hookup by ex lovers you know it will be interesting and from that moment on I knew it was going to be fun and wild. 

The story is about Cullen the trouble maker of the NFL been treaded 3 times but underneath all that faรงade is an amazing person with a even bigger heart that just needs to put it back together after it was broken back in college. Houston used to play in college together with Cullen but after breaking up and been drafted to NFL unfortunately his dream was cut short by a career ending injury. Back to the present after another scandal Cullen gets traded once again but this time Denver Rush where his unforgettable Ex lives. What will happen when a fake relationship thrown into the mix along with old feelings will this time destiny will on their side and give them a second chance  or will they let fears get in the way? The story is low-angst it perfectly mixes it with the flirty, sexy, and fun side of it it lets the story flow and draw you in which I loved since the beginning.  It was the perfect combo! 
Although this is a series  you can definitely read it as a standalone you won’t be lost but if you truly want the full experience and want to read more into the side characters definitely check out the full series. Congrats Riley and Neve another well deserved touchdown, can’t wait for more!!!
