"Will hook you from the opening scene and keep you flipping pages...Scott Sebastian is the perfect combination of alpha jerk and naughty delight." - Jana Aston, New York Times Bestselling AuthorHe’s a total player. She’s begging to be played.The Sebastians own this city.
Hell, they own the whole world.

Until I come face to face with the man in charge, Scott Sebastian, the arrogant, playboy heir with the mind of a devil and the body of a god and a mouth I can’t stop thinking about.
He’s infuriating. He’s a distraction. He’s the man who wants me in his bed as much as I want to be there.
And, if I get too close, he’ll be the one person who could expose me for what I really am—a fraud.
"I devoured this brilliantly sexy book in one night, right down to the gasp-worthy end. And OMG wickedly delicious Scott Sebastian! Love, love, love! Buckle up, friends- you're in for a wild ride." - Annika Martin, New York Times Bestselling AuthorOriginally published as two Man in Charge and Man in Love. Now includes the whole book as one standalone.

***4.5 STARS***
Nooooo.....it can’t be over yet. What a hell of a cliffhanger.
Scott Sebastian is a legacy son of “The Sebastian's”. Tessa’s first introduction to him is on the roof of a building pleasuring a woman while Tessa watched. That leads to their interaction and soon Tessa begins dabbling “less honestly” in his world and pretending to be someone she is not.
At first Scott came off as the crass, cold billionaire that has little regard for women, but I genuinely grew to love his character. He had more depth to him. Tessa was not that worldly wise and a bit immature at times but she dreams big and wishes to help her sick friend. Let’s just say I can’t wait to see how this one ends.
I highly recommend. Be prepared for scorching chemistry!

What the heck just happened??? That ending! My mind is blown right now and I'm not sure what to do with myself.
I absolutely loved the way this started. They way Scott and Tess met, their attraction, the heat, the sparks. Then the way Scott pursues Tess... these two had me fanning myself. I love it all and it's the kind of dynamic that I am always searching for.
Then we get that ending. I don't even know what to do with that ending. I so badly wish we have the next book already. I would devour it immediately. Who needs sleep?
Honestly, I don't know how the author is going to fix this, but I know she will. I just can't wait to hear the story behind that little piece of information that just blew everything up.

Argh!!!! That ending….Holy Smokes, really???? Laurelin Paige, you are one hell of a dirty player!!! How can you leave me waiting till November? I’m pretty sure I literally screamed in frustration when I got to the end of this book. The first thing I did after devouring the book in one sitting was to check how many days until the release of the next installment. It’s going to be a real torture!!!!
Well, I usually don’t start my review with the ending of book, but rarely does a book leave me utterly shocked and panting for more. I am trying to find the right words to capture all my impressions and feelings, but I simply cannot succeed to find the right ones. This is my first book from Lauren Paige…I have to admit that she rocked my world and left me craving for more with this incredible, steamy romance that contains enough angst and deliciousness that simply drips from the pages. The scorching chemistry and banters between the main characters nailed me from the very beginning and kept me flipping the pages, indulging into that decadent world the author has so masterfully crafted.
One party, one peek, one white lie…what can go wrong? Nothing, especially if it is for a good cause. Nothing indeed, except for the attraction that can’t be ignored…
That’s the story of Tess and Scot- the modern Cinderella and her Prince Charming...well, at least a really filthy version of the fairytale.
Torn between passion and reason, dancing on the fine line between acceptable and forbidden, playing a very dangerous game… Tess puts her job and friendship on the line in order to pursue her believes. Hard-working, passionate and determined, she’s all in. But will that be enough to successfully seal the deal? Can she handle the mighty Scot Sebastian? A stunning hero- cocky, confident and bossy, sexy-as-sin and charming enough to become every girl’s dream. And when the two meet, everything around bursts with sexual electricity and attraction that threatens to stifle all alertness.... Reason is lost somewhere halfway, the sensations dominate and the needs culminate ... the desire for one touch, one kiss .... one step forward, two steps back.. and the wickedly sinful games may begin...the game of the cat and the mouse…But how will they end? I believe that puzzles every reader long after they finish reading the book.
The author has definitely managed to deliver a really engaging story, so well-written and perfectly paced as not to bore the reader at any moment. Excellently developed characters, complex and charming, combined with the gripping plot will keep the readers on the edge of their seats through this whole ride. The sexy, flirty banters will delight you and make you laugh. And the surprise that awaits you in the end ... heart-stopping! I was convinced that this was a gentle love story. The author weaved this intriguing web so skillfully, mixing sweetness and tender emotions spiced with incredible passion to mislead the reader..... I failed to see the thunderbolt coming...
If you’re looking for a perfect office romance with sizzling hot chemistry, enough angst and panty melting scenes, that you should definitely not miss this one. The perfect choice that will force you to forget your reality and leave you screaming for more.

I liked the cover.
I liked the blurb.
I was intrigued by the prequel (which was included in the first part of the duet).
With the story inside I had a few issues...
The title didn’t match with the hero, Scott.
He might have been the most handsome man, one of the wealthiest existing, the one with a great experience in f@cking women, but! He was working under his father’s shadow, had a position in the company he wasn’t fond of -which his father had chosen for him, and he hadn’t stood up to his parents for arranging his life!!! 🙄
For me, the only thing he was in charge of was Tessa’s orgasms. And believe me, there were plenty!!!
There was neither romance nor connection between the main characters and were indifferent to me, lacked depth and didn’t hold my interest.
Regarding the cliffhanger, it didn’t surprise me as expected to, and I will not read the second part. No, thank you.
Buddy read with Tzelina.

Laurelin Paige has a gift. She knows how to write dominant and alpha males. Scott Sebastian fits the description perfectly. Yes, he commands a room when he enters and knows what he wants in the bedroom but with Tess he also shows a softer side. I really liked that.
Tess jumps at the opportunity to get a foundation she cares about the sponsorship it needs , SIC which is Scott’s family empire.
Tess is a fabulous heroine who takes charge both work wise and sexually. Her and Scott were combustible. Holy smokes. They heated up the pages from their first interaction. From that point on I was hooked and looked forward to them in a scene together.
Tess best friend Teyana was a terrific side character and great support to Tess. These two delivered some laughs as well as heartwarming scenes.
Tess and Scott are both dishonest and even though I predicted the ending I still can’t wait to read the sequel. They already have a strong and intense relationship so I’m excited to find out how Laurelin Paige will conclude this Duet.

Does anyone remember the movie “Working Girl” from the late 80’s with Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford? Well, this book reminds me of that movie! That was a great movie so clearly this is a good book but can someone explain to me why men are so dumb? LOL
Tessa Turani is house sitting for her boss and decides to attend a party when she comes across the invitation for the event. She strikes up multiple conversations with people who work for one of the wealthiest families in NY so why not take the opportunity to prove herself a savvy businesswoman.
The only problem is she becomes entangled with one of the key players in her quest to establish her professional wealth. “Oh what tangled webs we weave”. Not sure who said that saying first but it definitely fits this book.
Absolutely leaves you on a cliffhanger of major proportions!!

Tessa Turani wants to establish herself as a serious businesswoman in NYC. When her boss heads out of town Tess decides it's her time to shine. She's ready to prove herself as a professional and this is how she finds herself entangled with the richest, most powerful family in New York. The Sebastian's owned the city, and she wanted to be a part of their universe. Opportunity comes knocking, and soon she's completely immersed in their glamorous world and feeling a bit like Cinderella.
She's faking it till she makes it, when one man could threaten everything suddenly within her grasp. The man in charge is Scott Sebastian. He's also the one guy she can't stop thinking about. The alpha player is an unattainable bachelor. He's hands down the hottest man she's ever laid eyes on, and was absolutely breathtaking to look at. For self preservation she needed to resist his magnetic pull, but he makes her feel out of control when he's near. She tried to deny their attraction, but she craved him to the point of distraction. As feelings become complex and intense, is it possible they could be more?
-Every time I looked at him, he somehow just got more gorgeous.
-I was already longing for him way more than I cared to admit.
-The more I had of him, the more I wanted him.
Man In Charge (Book One in the Man In Charge Duet) by Laurelin Paige is a sexy billionaire office romance full of angst, secrets, undeniable chemistry, and irresistible passion. If you already read the free novella Man On Top that introduces you to this new world than you can skip to part two in this story. I really enjoyed this fantastic story where fantasy becomes reality. It ends on a shocking cliffy and left me dying for more! I can't wait for Man In Love!!!

Do you hear the crackling? That's the sound of my kindle going up in flames!!
This story is, in a word, FIRE. The chemistry between Tess and Scott, off the flipping charts. I did not want to put this book down. From the very first chapter, the story grabs you and does not let go.
Laurelin Paige has mastered the art of writing sexy alphaholes who own every single part of my heart and Scott Sebastian just got inked onto that list. Man In Charge is an edge of your seat thrill ride that will leave you begging for the next book, like your next book.
Highly recommended.

Interesting ... I have thoughts, but that’s a really great word to sum up my thoughts. However, I’m not leaving it there. I just finished like 3 minutes ago and I can tell you the story was refreshing but predictable, two things I haven’t associated with this author like ever, i think. Refreshing because the story was easy. Even the sexy was easy, still delicious, let’s not get crazy, but easy. Even the pause (Or rather what some are calling a cliffhanger, but was it really?) was easy because it was predictable. When was the last time Laurelin ever made it easy on the reader? Never, that’s when. So I say ... interesting. When has a Laurelin story been so deliciously captivating and predictable? Never, that’s when. So I say ... interesting.
There’s a shoe dropping coming. I don’t know when and I don’t know how, but I know it hasn’t dropped yet, so stay alert my friends. This ride has only just begun ...

OMG! I can't not believe what I just read from that cliffhanger!!! L. Paige is evil - so good and we love her! Okay guys you can't pass on this HOTNESS.
The hero Scott Sebastian is all alpha, dominant, knows exactly what he wants (in and out of the bedroom :)), smoking hot. Tess got a pair of balls. While the cat is gone, the mouse is out to play. While Tess’s boss was out “finding herself”, Tess took it upon herself and made a sponsorship deal for her foundation. Tess is not the only one who is dishonest though. I can’t even with Scott and his little secret. I am ready to wring his neck … he’d better have good explanation I love everything about his book – crazy chemistry, interesting plot, awesome characters. Fast paced, action packed, … I devoured this in one sitting. So excited for the finale!!!

finally have some little bit time which means i can finally update the reviews for all the arcs i have recently read before i forget that these books even existed, i know i have a problem.
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review. Thank you CandiKane PR.
So I picked up this duet based on the fact alone that Laurelin Paige is the same author who created Donovan Kincaid and wrote the Filthy Rich Duet (also, the cover looks a bit spicy, if you know what I mean) now, if you have read the Filthy Rich Duet, you would know how crazy that book was and how psychotic Donovan Kincaid IS— I wouldn't say that I was a HUGE fan of that duet because obviously it had issues, but for some reason I don't know it stuck with me and if you erase few traits from Donovan's personality, he was basically my fictional type, but I guess making him how he was actually was the whole point. Anyways, so before getting into this book, I thought this duet would be similar to that duet, however it wasn't which is a good thing because that meant I was getting new content to read. However, this new content was just not my cup of tea.
I don't even have to go into details for this review because the entire plot of this duet can be summed up into one sentence and that is rich playboy falls for a poor ambitious girl who has a secret. the end. Usually, I do not mind reading low on drama stories because they really do save up time and energy, but sometimes it's tiring to read the same underwhelming plots that really have no structure and are just plain boring. I would have liked this book better even if it had less drama and just consisted of the development between Scott Sebastian and Tess' relationship, but even their relationship felt so plain therefore, they could not capture my attention for so long. Honestly, they had nothing interesting going on for them. (Also, this could be just a me thing because I'm actually having a hard time liking any book these days, I don't even know why, but I hate it here. 😩)
Just going to end this review by saying that the whole plot was basically focused on Scott trying to seduce Tess and Tess "trying" her best to resist Scott's advances which was really a poor attempt on her behalf because homegirl barely made it through their first meeting so I don't know why she was even bothering to resist him at all cause girlll we knew she had already fallen for him on page one so she really thought she was doing something, I don't know what though. And, honestly, I don't really know what happened from the 50% mark and towards the end because I was barely paying attention to what I was reading.. 🤐😂 Anyways, hopefully better luck next time with a new series.

It’s been years since I’ve read a Laurelin Paige book. I remember being engrossed in her writing; she can write 👏🏻, but I also forgot how much owd her books can have 😐.
Extra points for the duet narration and the outtakes in the audiobook (which is why I rounded up versus down). More audiobooks should have the outtakes 🤣. The narrators had me laughing so much in those few minutes after the book ended. Also, I used to love Laurelin Paige (2020 Sonia read tons of her books) so I felt kind of nostalgic reading this.
I have a review for the prequel, Man on Top, which has the premise prequel
Tess Turani (30 ish?) finds out that the man she had the ONS encounter with is none other than Scott Sebastian (maybe 30 ish as well). By ONS, I mean he ate some cereal (😉🔥) and then she passes out before anything else happened. When she wakes up, she makes a break for it and leaves 😅 without knowing each other’s names.
A week or so later, she’s ready to pitch her proposal for possible charities the Sebastians are interested in when she encounters Brett from the party. Brett’s only a “basic” cousin, but he’s ready to help her out. She’s excited and then sees who’s the main man she has to convince- the man from her ONS oral encounter, Scott Sebastian 😅.
As soon as they’re in the same room, tension sizzles. She hesitates to continue anything with him on a personal level, but he’s very convincing 😉. Her goal is to keep things professional and get the Sebastians to fund the main charity she’s passionate about: Dysautonomia Relief Foundation because her best friend suffers from this.
But they’re both keeping secrets… could their futures be compromised?
What I liked/loved: possible spoilers
—the 🔥. I mean, the man can eat 🤷🏻♀️ lol. I’ll always appreciate men who ensure their women are satisfied 💁🏻♀️. The first time they finally succumb to their passions (😉) was 🔥. The fact that they couldn’t even wait until no one was in the office building or that no one heard was 🥵. He has to cover her mouth to quiet her 😮💨. The times following this are very much like this. They. Just. Can’t. Stop 👀.
—he had a duuurty mouth
—how confident Scott is. It COULD be annoying, but he knows she wants him, even though she keeps trying to fight the attraction 😬
—how passionate Tess is about DRF❤️. I found this compelling and a great characteristic of her. We see her best friend go through an episode of this, so it further showcased why she’s so invested
—the fact that Tess isn’t a shy v. I like a confident woman 🤷🏻♀️. Too bad it’s been like a year since she was with anyone 😐
—there’s mild OMD that causes Scott to get jealous
—how obsessed they BOTH are with each other. I never questioned Scott’s loyalty, buuuuut…
What I didn’t like: spoilers
—the constant reminder of Scott’s manhooooaring ways irritated me. Not only do we see the girl he pleasured because she works with the Sebastians, but we find out that Tess’s friend/boss Kendra ALSO f’ed Scott 🙄😐 annnnnd, later when Tess googles Scott, she finds him with loooots of different women 😐 one who had her head on his lap 🙄. I tried not to let this bother me because it’s in the PAST, but… I couldn’t help myself 🤣
—also, Scott had just fingered another woman earlier in the night, apparently Tess didn’t care (at this point, she just wants to have fun), but as he begins eating her out, all I kept thinking was that his fingers were in another woman earlier 🤬. Tess’s goal was to just have like a ONS, so it didn’t bother me AS much as it could’ve (compared to like a F2L or E2L where they know each other). Sigh…
—I needed to FEEL why Tess was so different for Scott. Besides the physical aspect, I don’t know why else 🤷🏻♀️
—so, Scott’s the “Man in Charge” yet still needs the project still needs to get approved by his father. Mmm okay
—the cliffhanger was so stooooopid 🙄 all of a sudden, her friend/boss is actually secretly engaged to Scott. Wow. Just. Wow
—what pisssssed me off about that^^ was that Tess straight up asked Scott if he had any commitments, girlfriends, wives, ANYTHING before anything started, and he said no 😐
Overall, it was an eh read for me. But of course, I need to know how it ends

It’s been years since I’ve read a Laurelin Paige book. I remember being engrossed in her writing; she can write 👏🏻, but I also forgot how much owd her books can have 😐.
Extra points for the duet narration and the outtakes in the audiobook (which is why I rounded up versus down). More audiobooks should have the outtakes 🤣. The narrators had me laughing so much in those few minutes after the book ended. Also, I used to love Laurelin Paige (2020 Sonia read tons of her books) so I felt kind of nostalgic reading this.
I have a review for the prequel, Man on Top, which has the premise prequel
Tess Turani (30 ish?) finds out that the man she had the ONS encounter with is none other than Scott Sebastian (maybe 30 ish as well). By ONS, I mean he ate some cereal (😉🔥) and then she passes out before anything else happened. When she wakes up, she makes a break for it and leaves 😅 without knowing each other’s names.
A week or so later, she’s ready to pitch her proposal for possible charities the Sebastians are interested in when she encounters Brett from the party. Brett’s only a “basic” cousin, but he’s ready to help her out. She’s excited and then sees who’s the main man she has to convince- the man from her ONS oral encounter, Scott Sebastian 😅.
As soon as they’re in the same room, tension sizzles. She hesitates to continue anything with him on a personal level, but he’s very convincing 😉. Her goal is to keep things professional and get the Sebastians to fund the main charity she’s passionate about: Dysautonomia Relief Foundation because her best friend suffers from this.
But they’re both keeping secrets… could their futures be compromised?
What I liked/loved: possible spoilers
—the 🔥. I mean, the man can eat 🤷🏻♀️ lol. I’ll always appreciate men who ensure their women are satisfied 💁🏻♀️. The first time they finally succumb to their passions (😉) was 🔥. The fact that they couldn’t even wait until no one was in the office building or that no one heard was 🥵. He has to cover her mouth to quiet her 😮💨. The times following this are very much like this. They. Just. Can’t. Stop 👀.
—he had a duuurty mouth
—how confident Scott is. It COULD be annoying, but he knows she wants him, even though she keeps trying to fight the attraction 😬
—how passionate Tess is about DRF❤️. I found this compelling and a great characteristic of her. We see her best friend go through an episode of this, so it further showcased why she’s so invested
—the fact that Tess isn’t a shy v. I like a confident woman 🤷🏻♀️. Too bad it’s been like a year since she was with anyone 😐
—there’s mild OMD that causes Scott to get jealous
—how obsessed they BOTH are with each other. I never questioned Scott’s loyalty, buuuuut…

Wow this book end with a bang, ending it with your mouth hanging open!!! It start off when Tessa Turani boss Kendra Montgomery went on a hiatus which she did often apparently. Tess decided while her boss was gone she would step into her life of lavish and access. First on the list was a party that The Sebastian's were throwing. Only problem is Tess walked up on a woman & man in the throws of a organism, instead of walking away, she stayed and watched. When the couple was done Tess thought she was caught she was relieved until the sexy, arrogant, playboy of a stranger came up behind her and proposition her. Tess escape his grips and decide to lose herself into the party. That night she gets her first lead to pitch to a company THE company the Sebastian's own from a contact at this party.
Scott Sebastian the Man in Charge the sexy, arrogant, playboy is the person that walks in that I have to pitch to. What is the likelihood of running into him again. Now I must hold it together and not think of all the wicked things that I know he can do. Now I must hide the truth that I am a fraud and if caught I could be exposed and lose the only job that I love. So I make my decision to go forth and hopefully I can close this deal before Kendra gets back and fire me.
Well that is until I keep falling for this stranger, hoping my lie is not expose. Only to find out the biggest lie has yet to be told.

THE REVIEW FOR THE BOOK: MAN IN CHARGE.
GENRE:CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE.
AUTHOR: LAURELIN PAIGE.
TYPE: BOOK #1 OF THE DUET MAN IN CHARGE.
POV: FIRST PERSON.
MY RATING: 4.5 STARS.
I LOVED the whole concept of this story...the forbidden love which roots from an innocent lie but then it turns out not so innocent...Both the parties are as guilty as they are in the clear.
The Sebastians own the city...and when you are on the radar of one...well, let's just say it won't be easy to get rid of them. Tessa just wants to find her own corner in the world but when her boss/ friend is out of town on the mission of "finding herself"... a golden opportunity presented itself in front of her...but what she didn't anticipate was a one-night stand with the heir of the city's most well known prestigious family at the end of her night.
But now, back to the real world... Business and Pleasure should never be mixed but the pleasure overwhelms the business side...some hazy moments are forgiven right...
This book!!! Gahhhh!!! I loved it... The heroine was sassy, straight-forward, does not beats around the bush, and knows what she wants...her attitude towards Scott was one of the things that added the charisma she had on him.
Scott Sebastian has got freaking everything...gorgeous looks, rich as a god, respect...but one girl brings upheaval in his mundane, everyday life... He has got secrets ... a lot of them, what he doesn't know is she too has secrets which rival his.
I am so pleased that I have the opportunity to just jump on book 2...( No waiting for me...) I am just sure that after such a cliffhanger...MAN IN LOVE is going to be a hit...
I recommend this book to all my contemporary romance lovers who just like to spice it up with the drama the lies and secrets bring and the forbidden edge to the book was a genius move...

MAN IN CHARGE is Book One of Laurelin Paige’s most seductive reads. Seeking a promotion, when an opportunity presents itself Tess can not resist , even if it means deceiving those around her. However, seduction by the handsome and powerful Scott Sebastian was not part of the plan. As their relationship built on desire, and deceit intensifies it may not withstand the hidden truths that unleash. We are intrigued to see how Tess, and Scott’s story unfolds.

2,5⭐️
It was a buddy read with Dora!
So ......as Dora said in her review we liked the blurb so we gave it a shot!
Unfortunately for me the story didn't kept my interest but I manage to finish it.
There was no emotional connection between Scott and Tess just lust and a lot of Tess orgasms!!
The cliffhanger for me was a little bit predictable!

Ooooooh my gahhhh…I am so in love with everything I just read it’s not even funny! Laurelin Paige has been known to floor me with her books but somehow I forgot what this feels like and damn, does it feel good! I’m alllllllll about Tessa and Scott right now. I read the prequel, Man on Top and was hooked…instantly. No effort required on my part, they got me and I was all in and itching to start Man In Charge the second I finished…but I had absolutely no idea how hard I was going to fall for these two. No. Idea. The banter…the secrets…the sex – oh my! Man In Charge had everything I didn’t know I wanted and I neeeeeed more! Be prepared for a lot of exclamation points and over the top emotions because that’s the level this book has taken me to…it’s all Tessa, Scott and Laurelin’s fault – I cannot be held responsible for the way that I feel.
Terese Turani…I was basically in love with her from the very beginning of Man on Top - it wasn’t a hard sell to get me all the way there. The chick is a million different kinds of awesome and I was smitten – it is what it is. I loved her personality…her sense of humor…she’s the kind of character I could imagine sitting down with a bottle of wine and a pizza and having endless conversations with…she’s just my kind of people. I loved her relationship with her best friend Teyana…they’ve got such a great bond and I loved how much they supported each other. I loved her determination and drive, and especially given her dedication to helping charitable foundations, the woman is a saint with a golden heart but it’s clear she has a lot of potential and it’s obviously being squandered. I can’t really say that it was one specific thing that made me fall for Tess…the fact that I was instantly drawn to her didn’t hurt, but it was everything about her personality that just made her so easy to love…turns out, I’m not the only one who thought that.
Scott Sebastian…gah! This man…this beautiful, charming, sexy af man with gorgeous blue eyes and a mouth made for sin. I was…intrigued by Scott from the beginning…anxious to know more and now that I got a taste…I need it all. Everything…every little secret and detail about him, I’m dying to know. And even then, once I know everything, I’ll still want more. I find him completely fascinating – which accounts for why I was so intrigued from the start – he’s not your average wealthy player, there is something different and distinct about him. Yes, he’s a manwhore – that was apparent from the very first time Tessa sees him, but it’s very obvious that there is more to him…a side to him that he hides, that few get to see, and that’s what I want. I already feel like I’ve seen glimpses of the real Scott…and just from those brief moments, I’m beyond in love. Something extremely random that I love about Scott is his restraint…I know that sounds like a super weird thing to enjoy about a character but Scott has turned restraint into an art form. He’s so carefully controlled and I think it makes me enjoy seeing him let loose that much more.
Tessa and Scott are…passionate and sexy and magnetic. I loved their meet cute…not that it hasn’t been done before, but because it’s them it makes it special. I loved the push and pull between them…towards the beginning I didn’t even realize how angsty it was getting until it hit me like a wall of bricks – love it when that happens. I loved their banter…like as much as they have this attraction and chemistry it would be nothing without their conversations – they may have a physical connection but that’s not all there is. Speaking of their physical connection though…holy cannoli – just wowza’s! They have a lot going for them…the dirty talk, the kinkiness, just all of it is amazing and so freaking hot. Obviously I loved their sex but it really only adds to what they have. As much as Tessa may want to fight the connection and feelings she has for Scott, what they have has never just been a physical thing – it may have started that way, but it’s clear there is so much more between them.
Laurelin Paige slaaaaaays me!!! And I loooooove it – sooooo freaking much! It’s why I keep coming back and also one of the many reasons why she remains one of my favorite authors of all time…I simply adore her books. Her style is sexy, sultry and smart…it’s a delicate balance but she maintains it perfectly. It took me a while to put together why I think I’m so into Man in Charge and I think it’s because it was giving me Fixed Series vibes – it’s not the same story by a long shot, but there are certain elements (the money, the secrecy, the sex, etc.) that bring back similar emotions that I had while reading those books. That’s definitely not a bad thing because the Fixed Series is one of my favorite series of all time, so that makes me verrrrry happy. I could literally gush all day long about how much I adore Laurelin's writing...the way she crafts her characters...the pacing and flow of the books...but the end result is still the same - she writes books that I love falling in love with.
So…I knew going into Man in Charge that there was going to be a cliffhanger – I expected it. With every chapter, I kept holding my breath, waiting for the shoe to drop and the harsh reality to come crashing down – and Laurelin did an amazing job of keeping me on my toes. I had some inklings of what I thought it was going to be, but the actual delivery and execution far surpassed my expectations. I am also the rare reader that actually enjoys cliffhangers…a well-executed cliffy can really serve a good purpose and this one definitely did because I. Am. Dying!!!! SOOOOOOOOOO good but oh-em-gee the toture! I am desperate for Man In Love. I had absolutely no idea what is going to happen but in Laurelin’s capable hands, I have no doubt that I will love every second it.

‘He raised his glass, his grin triumphant, as though he’d won some game I hadn’t been aware we’d been playing, except of course I knew what game we were playing, and of course he won because I always lost the stay-away-from-the-hot-guy game.’

Even if he had hypnotic blue eyes. And charming banter. And irresistible lips.
God, I was so screwed.’

Laurelin Paige slaaaaaays me!!! And I loooooove it – sooooo freaking much!

‘“Scott?” I hadn’t spoken loudly, but my voice felt big in the darkness. “Why didn’t you want to give me the spiel earlier? The don’t get attached, this is all just for fun spiel?” I really needed to hear it at the moment.
He paused so long that I thought he’d fallen asleep. I was pretty close to slumber myself.
“I think…” he said finally, my eyes startling open. Silence followed. Then, “I really, really like you Tessa Turani.”
I stopped worrying right then that I’d lose my heart to the guy.
I realized I already had.’

He disfrutado un montón leyendo esta novela, en cuanto la comencé fui incapaz de parar de leer. Ha sido mi primera toma de contacto con la autora y me ha dejado con muy buen sabor de boca y con ganas de saber como continua la historia de Tess y Scott, ¡el final 😱! Es una novela que contiene el equilibrio perfecto entre diálogos y descripciones, y que mezcla a la perfección los negocios y el placer dándonos en cada capítulo la dosis necesaria de ambos. Además, la autora en su novela nos da a conocer una enfermedad, Disautonomía, que en mi caso no la conocía. Solo me queda decir que ojala salga la segunda parte pronto porque necesito saber más sobre esta historia 🙊 Si queréis leer una novela adictiva y amena con unos protagonistas con mucha atracción, algún que otro secreto y alguna que otra mentira. Os recomiendo que conozcáis la historia de Scott y Tess😊

Man in Charge was a wonderful reminder of why I fell in love with Laurelin Paige's words.
No one writes a sexy, troubled, rich alpha quite like her.
No one writes tension and chemistry quite like her.
No one writes a plot twist quite like her.
This story is another story of troubled, complex characters, jaw-dropping secrets, just enough suspense to keep you on your toes, and twists and turns that make you want to throw things. I CANNOT wait to read the next one. Seriously. Now, please.

OMG! What?! How does a story end that way?? I need to see what happens next. Like right now.
Overall, this is a good story. It has that Laurelin Paige steam, likable characters, and a decent but predictable storyline. What isn’t predictable is that plot twist and I live for those.
I’m excited to get the conclusion of this duet, for more Sebastian, and for how the whole story is going to come together.
As always, the narrators were fantastic. They had good flow and were paired well together.
If you want steamy and light and fun, make sure you check this one out.

This is so bad I don't even know where to start. 😖
This is so bad I don't even know where to start. 😖

Right from the beginning of this story there is this heightened sexual tension that continues right throughout. From the moment Tess discretely watches a woman being fingered at a rooftop party until the moment she spreads herself for the same man on the same night - I knew this was going to be a sexually charged story.
Tess works for an organisation that matches up big corporates with the right charity they can align themselves with and donate to. She knows that SIC is one client they have never worked with and when her boss goes away for a few months she decides to make use of all the party invitations sitting unanswered.
This is how Tess finds herself at a party hosted by the very wealthy Sebastian family. She is an assistant to her boss and shouldn’t really be there, let alone representing the business. Curiosity has gotten the better of her and if she can hook SIC in she knows her boss will overlook the white lies she is about to tell. She hopes…
As soon as Scott Sebastian sets his sights on Tess he wants her. He can’t even explain the pull but there is no way he won’t have this woman beneath him by the end of the night. Afterall, no one ever says no to him. He has the whole package going on and enjoys being the player he is known as. One night, no repeat performances. Until he meets Tess and he just can’t get enough of her.
Tess gets completely swept up in all things Scott, yes she has a job to do and what would normally take one week turns into a 10 day pitch process orchestrated by Scott. A drawn out week of foreplay tension that eventually has them tearing at each other’s clothes is just the beginning of an intense sexually charged relationship between them. And does this man have a filthy mouth...
‘I knew it from the minute I tasted it, from the minute I saw it. This was a pussy that needed to be fucked’ He hardly sounded out of breath despite the driving tempo of his thrusts.’
I had this sinking feeling right through this story when I figured out a potential connection that was going to cause huge problems and my gut was right, talk about a fantastic cliffhanger ending though! I can’t wait to see how things work out :)
Tess works for an organisation that matches up big corporates with the right charity they can align themselves with and donate to. She knows that SIC is one client they have never worked with and when her boss goes away for a few months she decides to make use of all the party invitations sitting unanswered.
This is how Tess finds herself at a party hosted by the very wealthy Sebastian family. She is an assistant to her boss and shouldn’t really be there, let alone representing the business. Curiosity has gotten the better of her and if she can hook SIC in she knows her boss will overlook the white lies she is about to tell. She hopes…
As soon as Scott Sebastian sets his sights on Tess he wants her. He can’t even explain the pull but there is no way he won’t have this woman beneath him by the end of the night. Afterall, no one ever says no to him. He has the whole package going on and enjoys being the player he is known as. One night, no repeat performances. Until he meets Tess and he just can’t get enough of her.
Tess gets completely swept up in all things Scott, yes she has a job to do and what would normally take one week turns into a 10 day pitch process orchestrated by Scott. A drawn out week of foreplay tension that eventually has them tearing at each other’s clothes is just the beginning of an intense sexually charged relationship between them. And does this man have a filthy mouth...

Holy Shitballs Batman this was fantastic! I binged it in one session and am desperate for more!
Talk about chemistry - I seriously thought my iPad might melt at certain points and as for that plot twist I yelled NOOOOOOOO so loudly I woke my husband! I swear this author likes to torture me with her books. And I am a sucker for it. Cannot wait for the next in this series!
I received an arc of this book.

For those who are into voyeurism, manwhores, rich commanding playboys who can't get enough of you, power dynamic in a workplace role playing, sex on your job and seeing a man with OW.

Erano giorni che non trovavo una storia che mi facesse uscire di casa pur rimanendo nel mio letto
Non vedo l’ora di finire la storia!
