A review by wonderwomannz
The Playboy by Marni Mann

3.5

This came highly recommended by numerous online book groups, and I thought, "Why not? Let's dive into the world of glitz, glam, and a touch of spice." 
As I listen, I found myself on a literary rollercoaster that was more like a gentle merry-go-round. 

The story follows Brooklyn who is on a mission to carve out her own path in life. She's independent, determined, and, well, a bit predictable. Enter Mr. Playboy, Macon, a charming lad from a fabulously wealthy family. Their worlds collide, and much like peanut butter and jelly, they just sort of... stick together. 

The plot weaves their lives together in a tale that's as intricate as a doily your grandma might crochet – pretty to look at but not particularly groundbreaking. 

Mann certainly knows how to spice things up when it counts. The book has some great spicy scenes that could make a pot of chili blush. It's in these moments where the story really sizzles, serving up just the right amount of heat to keep you listening.

This was an okay read. Not quite the page-turner I'd hoped for, but not a total miss either. It's the kind of book that's perfect for a lazy afternoon when you're in the mood for something light and effortlessly enjoyable, with just enough spice to keep things interesting. If you're looking for a tale of love, independence, and a touch of opulence, this might just be the book for you. Just don't expect it to rock your literary world – it's more of a gentle nudge.
