NEW RELEASE & REVIEW: Penthouse Player by Tara Leigh

Penthouse Player by Tara Leigh

Abandoned by her mother and spurned by her father, Reina St. James is tired of being treated like a dirty little secret. It wasn’t easy making her way into the high-risk, high-reward Wall Street world ruled by financial kings and trust fund tyrants. But now that she’s got a stiletto-clad toe into one of the swankiest firms in Manhattan, Reina is determined to prove she’s more than just a pretty face hiding an ugly past.

For Tristan Xavier Bettencourt IV, escaping the shadow cast by generations of family fortune has been difficult, and success hasn’t come without sacrifice. Tristan has always put business before pleasure… Until Reina’s curved lips prove an invitation he can’t resist.

Walking away from their explosive night together won’t be easy, even if the heat between them might consume both of their careers. Will Reina and Tristan risk everything by betting on each other? 

Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐

This was a great debut read.

"If she'd been an investment, she would have been labeled high risk, high reward, with a warning - Don't buy if you can't afford to lose."

Reina St James has fought for everything all her life. She's worked hard to carve a life out for herself and make sure she's firmly on the road to success. When a gorgeous stranger turns out to be a complication that could ruin her plans, she hotfoots it out of his apartment.

"I wanted him. Wanted him to possess me in the way I knew only Tristan could. Completely. Intensely."

Tristan Xavier Bettencourt IV is inexorably drawn to the beautiful blonde he meets at a party. He never expects to see her again after she rushes out of his apartment, and is wholly unprepared to see her at his own company as an employee. Every instinct and ounce of common sense tells him to stay away from her, but he's almost helpless to keep his distance, especially when they end up working in close proximity. However, there are secrets in Reina's past that could jeopardise their budding romance. 

This was a great first offering from this author, with strong characters, a good storyline, and sexy scenes. 

Tristan is to die for! He's a solid character and everything about him is just yummy! He's driven, earnest, noble, and is willing to risk his reputation and his livelihood on a woman who has knocked him for six. Reina is stunning, smart, tough and independent. She has a deep core of vulnerability, and I loved how Tristan made her feel cherished, desired and more than worthy.

I enjoyed the plot and how the storyline played out, and look forward to the next book in the series.
