Playboy by Katy Evans
Publication Date: July 29, 2018
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Synopsis:
A brand new contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.
It started as a game.
We flirted. We played. Most importantly—we won.
Then I discovered who he was: Gambler. Famous playboy. Silver-eyed player who never plays to lose...
And my best friend’s soon-to-be brother in law, Cullen Carmichael.
He needed a good luck charm, I needed a distraction.
So we made a gamble and set off for Vegas—but pretty soon—I was in too deep.
My heart, soul, and body weren't supposed to be part of the deal.
But somewhere between big wins and long nights, my house of cards started to tumble.
What was this devil with those piercing eyes doing to me?
I’d given up on love, but the wicked, all-in Cullen Carmichael was upping the ante and wouldn’t stop until he’d won it all.
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I loved this book! I found it so sexy and heart-melting.
"There's something about Cullen that unsettles me. Me and my heartbeat. Me and my hormones."
Wynn is off men. She's just come out of a relationship that she invested too much time in but it went nowhere. On a date, to an underground card game of all places, she meets Silver Eyes. His perfect looks and laser-sharp focus on her make her feel things that she's never felt before.
"It was like my life had been on full tilt waiting for the slow play of a lifetime."
Cullen Carmichael is a serious but successful gambler & poker player. He's wanted Wynn from the first moment he saw her. He's infinitely patient, but persuasive and super generous. He makes a bet with Wynn. However, what he doesn't tell her is that he's not just playing a game - he's playing for keeps.
"This man is my ruin. He's my ruin because no other man will ever compare enough to even make the sliding scale."
I adored Wynn and Cullen's story! They had such a sizzling connection. The first half of the story had some seriously sexy kissing foreplay between them. The sexual tension between them was electrifying and compelling. Wynn is so leary of being let down but I loved how she threw caution to the wind and took a walk on the wild side with Cullen. Cullen is cool and collected but Wynn has a real hold on him. She's his lucky charm and his biggest distraction. I loved the dialogue and banter between them - it was flirtatious and provocative. Cullen kept things close to his chest but he was overt with his affection and care of Wynn. I loved how much he liked to spoil her.
The story was told mainly from Wynn's POV but the few chapters that were told from Cullen's POV, were insightful and gave me butterflies. His desire for Wynn was all-consuming; his purpose to make her happy so thrilling. These two together weren't just hot - they were on fire!
Another winner from this wonderful author!

Excerpt:
“So you just kissed me because you wanted to.” I speak on a breath.
“Very good. You’re perceptive. Intuitive.”
I realize he’s teasing me in that low, terribly rumbly voice and I wish he would smile at me.
He takes my hand and fingers my palm with his thumb as he leads me to our suite.
I’m sizzling where he touches me, nervously prying my hand free when he leads me into the biggest, most spectacular two-bedroom penthouse suite I’ve ever seen. Not that I’d seen one before in person, only movies.
There’s a kitchen area, and windows from floor to ceiling. A living room, a pool table, gold brass chandeliers, a brown-and-beige-patterned carpet, dark woods, Italian leathers. Gorgeous! I could move in here.
Now I see the appeal but won’t admit as much.
Thinking of our bet, I pay attention to the art on the walls. It’s expensive. I can tell by the numbered print and the signature. Painters with indecipherable and artistic signatures are often the artists to watch. It’s like they know from the moment they paint their first work that they’re on to something big, something that will distinguish their work from all others.
I wish Cullen loved art as much as I do. Maybe I could drag him away from the tables to a local gallery.
“Wow. I could just live he—” I spin around and bump into his big warm body, and he bends his head and kisses my words right out of me.
Kisses me stupid. Kisses my toes curled. Kisses my brain blank. Kisses my heart crazy.
