A review by mommasaystoread
Possessive Playboy by Alex Wolf, Sloane Howell

4.0

If the start of this book doesn't grab your attention, nothing will, and if I hadn't already guessed that this couple would generate some steam, it wouldn't have taken long to figure it out. However, steamy chemistry aside, I wasn't completely on board the Deacon and Quinn train at first. Oh, I liked Quinn, and once we're introduced to her father, her serious, no-nonsense character makes perfect sense. Deacon was where I ran into trouble. Not that he isn't likable, but he's such a joker that I had trouble taking him seriously. I wanted to see him put his money where his mouth was and show Quinn that he meant business. Of course, it didn't take long for Sloane and Alex to change my mind about Deacon, and before I knew it, I was firmly in his cheering section, rooting for this pair every step of the way. I'm not even sure exactly when or even why I changed my mind, but I certainly did. The whole story comes together perfectly for an engaging office romance. We even get to catch up with Dexter and Tate from book one while still maintaining Possessive Playboy as a standalone. The book is full of witty banter, terrific characters, and a swoon-worthy romance. All in all, this second book is a great addition to the Cocky Suits Chicago series, and I can't wait to see which Collins will fall in love next.
