After her mother’s death Daisy is determined to figure out why an elusive billionaire left her a trust with a million dollars in it. Having tracked him to the Salacious Players club, she’s still trying to gather information when she ends up auctioned for a hundred thousand dollars. After a week in Paris with the very billionaire she’s supposed to be questioning, Daisy is left wondering if she’s after answers or love.
This is a lightly kinky, age-gap romance with some pretty great spice. The spice in this series always delivers, if that is your sort of thing. This book was good. Honestly, I wish it was just a little less cheesy and insta-lovey. Obviously it’s romance, so it’s not totally avoidable, but the two leads are saying “I love you” after only a few days. It would be more understandable if they were both younger, but the male lead is in his 50s, which is probably the least believable part of this book.
Fun quick read for the spice, but didn’t quit deliver on the romance for me.
3.5/5 stars
