The Playboy

Spade Hotel, Book 1

De: Marni Mann

Narrado por: Savannah Peachwood, Tor Thom

Spade. People know what to expect when they hear my last name.

Billionaire. Alphahole. The forever bachelor. Heir to Spade Hotels, one of the most luxurious brands in the world.

Want to know what they would never call me?

Boyfriend.

Until her.

With one glance at her in the club, I’m ready to claim her for the night.

Dark, flowing hair. A smile that causes my heart to pound. Eyes that pierce my soul. And a perfect body that makes every part of me pulse.

She’s addictive. Electrifying. Consuming.

I’ve never wanted anyone more.

Our eyes meet, but she looks right past me. She isn’t here for me. She’s here for the music.

For the first time in my life, a woman makes me work for it. Her indifference fuels the fire inside me.

The result? One night. No names. No introductions.

Just pleasure. The way I’ve always liked it.

But now, I find myself fantasizing about this gorgeous stranger, and I swear I can still feel the softness of her skin and taste her on my lips.

The minute I saw her, a switch flipped inside me. Now, how do I stop this raging…obsession?

When our paths cross again in the most unexpected way, I’m on a mission to make her mine. But what happens when she wants nothing to do with me?

Macon and Brooklyn 🔥🔥

I read this book and I super Loved it!! Macon and Brooklyn are perfect for each other! Such a great storyline with secrets and angst and omg the love scenes 🔥🔥.
I loved the narrators they made the story even better!

Undercover Lover❤️🔥

I like how the script was flipped.🤪 How you can do easily get played. Love the Heat 🔥 There wasn't much Suspense or Drama But it is a good Story. Great Narration ✨
Enjoy 😊

The spicy scenes but the chemistry between Macon and Brooklyn is something special

I liked all of it but the ending was the start of there life so I hope to read more about their story

Uhm…Well

While I’ve enjoyed Marni Mann’s books, the performance on this one still has me scratching my head. The storyline was pretty good, but the male narrator’s speech pattern still has me puzzled. The way that the end of his words were clipped was so distracting that it impeded my enjoyment of the story. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before and couldn’t determine if it was just his speech pattern or mechanical. Suffice it to say that I didn’t enjoy it.

Unoriginal, Boring and the Male narrator made my skin crawl

I listen to a LOT of audiobooks, mostly new romance. I was coming off a high of listening to Butcher & Blackbird, which was sooo good, and this book was also recommended for me by Audible so I thought I’d give this author and book a try. This story was super formulaic, nothing original, no heart and it felt like the author just phoned it in, and I kept finding myself spacing out and really bored. I just wanted to get to the predictable and unrealistic end. It could’ve been me just coming out of a good book and this one not measuring up at all. The very worst part was the male narrator making the 27 year old hero sound like a super creepy 65 year old lech. It made me feel icky and it was not romantic to hear that voice diddle with the 22 year old heroine. Yuck. I’d pass on this one.

Enjoyable

Liked the story and readers . Was one you wanted to continue listening to. Would have liked another following.

Amazing beginning to the series. Loved Macon and Brooklyn

The Playboy is the first book in The Spade Hotel Series and what an amazing start to the series.
Marni does not disappoint with Macon and Brooklyn’s story. She’s brings the heat and the romance.
Macon works hard but plays harder. He’s so HAWT. His actions, his words and that mouth of his. Oh, lord. He’s a swoon-worthy dominant alpha, who gets his world rocked by Brooklyn. Just when he thinks his charming ways will do, she shows him he has to work for it. He completely does a 180 for her. He falls first, and is completely consumed by his attraction for her and I’m here for it. She’s the perfect match for him. She’s smart, sassy, she challenges him, and keeps him on his toes. She’s the male version of him to some extent but still are opposites. They have some walls to break down, some hurdles to get through and some secrets holding them back. They handled all those issues with a great level of maturity at the end. The story is full of banter, it’s fun, sexy, flirty, electrifying and has an all consuming chemistry. Loved getting the Dalton’s back in the story. Always great catching up with them. Loved these two! I can’t wait to read Cooper’s story next. The audio narration is dual POV by Savannah Peachwood and Tor Thom. They brought another dimension to the story with their characterizations. They kept me engaged, and I listened to the audiobook multiple times. It was such a good listen.

Oh Macon!

In the mood for a fantastic, spicy romance? Then I have the book for you. Coming December 28th, Marni Mann is releasing the first book in her new Spade Hotel series, and you can get ready to fall for Macon! Hurt before, he has no intention of ever getting involved with a woman again. Until her. The one he sees dancing. But unfortunate for him, she isn't making the chase easy. Brooklyn is getting ready to graduate, and is focused on her future. Macon is not on her radar, nor does she want him there. These two are like oil and water. But that is what makes their connection so much sweeter. Will Macon win her over? Will Brooklyn give in to the wiles of this romantic billionaire? Mann does it again. Has me falling hard for an incredible man and rooting for the couple to find their happiness. But she has a way of keeping it at arms length until just the right time. This book is packed with it all! A bit of angst, a lot of banter and a chemistry that is hugely explosive.

And bringing it all to life is Savannah Peachwood and Tor Thom. Peachwood brings her amazing voice to Brooklyn instilling some attitude and independence. Thom uses that smooth baritone of his to seduce and win over the aloof Brooklyn. Together these two make the magic to create a couple that kept me captivated. Loved the narration, make sure to grab your copy too!

Just ok

I wasn’t a big fan of how the book started and ended, but I enjoyed the middle. As always the narrators did a fantastic job. 

Not my favorite

it was fine. I didn't love it...I didn't hate it. The characters were not as believeable as other books I've read by her...
