Marni Mann knows how to deliver a swoon-worthy story!
Hart and Sadie are a wonderful couple. The Arrogant One is what Hart is known as in the inner circles. He is one of the famous Weston siblings, but his face is not well-known publicly. The Westons are hospitality royalty.
Sadie loves food so much that she is a food influencer. Her reach is phenomenal; when she recommends a restaurant, be sure there will be a wait list to get in.
A one-night stand between them leaves them still thinking about the other and regretting not getting more information about each other.
This is book one in the series, and it was so good. I can't wait to read the others.

I really enjoyed this book quite a bit! It was a great start to the new series, The Weston Group. The fire and spiciness between Hart and Sadie were perfect! I loved the tension and the banter and really all of it. 🫶🏻 Their relationship developed over a good bit of time and I thought the slower burn was great for this story.
Hart is a bad boy and badass really. He’s arrogant (hence the title) and hot as hell! He’s a very strong character. Great job Marni!
Sadie is a sweet soul who is career-drive and is really was meant for Hart. Hart fell hard and quickly for her (touch her and you ☠️). Sadie is strong-willed, til she runs into Hart. 😏 I loved loved loved them together!
A trope that I give mad props to is the communication trope. I’m so used to MIScommunication trope so this was refreshing. I’m excited to see where this series takes us! It had me intrigued from the very beginning to the very end…and I couldn’t put it down! 👏🏻

There's never been any doubt in the fact that when marni turns up the heat to thermonuclear level, her heroes can manage to make your nether regions can go from moist to dripping wet in no time.
She creates each handsome Billionaire hotter than the rest. Be it A Spade, A Dalton, A Cole or a Weston.
Suits become aphrodisiacs and money their power and I'm here for all of it. It's Horned and Hungry day. Sadie walks in a bar and lo & behold, who else is there but Lockhart Right....*ahem* Hart weston
"Out of all places, baby, you came to mine. "
She's come here for the steak, he's come to check out the competition..neither do their jobs and and end up in horizontal tango in his hotel.
The super ignited night of passion is like first taste of blood for a carnivore and from then on, the game of "Want You, Need You" gets going. He doesn't tell he's the famous Weston hotelier, she doesn't tell him she's the food blogger "Dear Foodie" from Seen Magazine.
“I’m that. He’s this. The two can’t blend. We’re like oil and vinegar in this industry.”
But lust is more powerful than NDAs. I'd say Rip that bandaid off girl , marni doesn't believe in slowly simmering the flavour. Her characters' lust goes from 0- 500 in 0.5 seconds. There's tonnes of hot & heavy scenes lasting chapters in the book. And as usual the cherry on top of champagne cupcake is a complimentary anal.
So get your fan ready, a stack of panties and Vibrator fully charged, Westons are here!!!

This was my first Marni Mann book and it definitely won't be my last.
Lockhart "Hart" Weston does not like commitment. Sadie Spencer doesn't do one night stands. Hart is at the new restaurant in town {Horned] to check out his families competition, while Sadie is there as Dear Foodie, a famous food influencer to review Horned. Sadie is your typical "good girl" but after meeting Hart, she decides that she wants to be bad for one night. What she doesn't expect is to fall hard for this man and for him to fall even harder. The problem is, she doesn't know that he is a Weston and he doesn't know that she is the mysterious Dear Foodie. Hart's family is about to open a new restaurant and Sadie has the ability to make or break it. The problem is, will her double life, make or break her relationship with Hart Weston?
This book had me hooked from the very beginning. I loved the charming banter between Hart and Sadie. The spice started right out the gate and I was totally here for it. I will say that I was nervous and scared throughout the book because I knew that the bomb was going to drop at any moment and I was so nervous about how it was going to play out. I was very happy with the end and really enjoyed the ride. I am so excited to get to know the rest of the Weston clan and as soon as I saw that sign ups for The Wildest One were open I ran to go sign up! I am very intrigued by the Eden, the lone Weston sister and I am really excited for her book and to learn more about her.

Lockhart “Hart” Weston
Sadie Spencer
Hart Weston is an arrogant billionaire and is mighty proud of it! He is absolutely unapologetic about it and I LOVE that about this MMC! His fierce protectiveness of what’s “HIS” (his career and his family) make me swoon over him! Andddd, enter stage right, a one Sadie Spencer. Her one night stand just isn’t enough for Hart and his life is absolutely upended from the moment she enters his gravitational pull.
Y’all… the mouths on these two?!? YES, PLEASE! They’re just delicious together!
I’m so excited to see where this series goes! There’s so much potential for these side characters and I can’t wait to see where Marni Mann takes them!

I adored these two. They are fun and down to earth.
Their flirting is sexy. Their banter sweet. And their encounters filled with so much chemistry.
The energy between them is incredible. The lust and passion brewing with them is explosive.
Hart and Sadie are just perfect together. They compliment each other.
But both are keeping secrets. And omitting important information about themselves.
What happens when the secrets are discovered and revelations come to light?
Can their newly formed relationship withstand all the is revealed?
