ARC Review: The Problem with Playboys by Karen Booth

My review: 4.5 sizzling and sweet ⭐

Have I been missing out on this delightful author all these years!? Thank you Booksprout for introducing me to an author I am going to want to read again and again, and not just because this book left me on a cliffhanger and I kinda have to 😁
Chloe – self-assured, bad ass celebrity publicist.
Parker, Parker, Parker – he’s everything I want in a sports agent that’s a cocky, arrogant playboy. Even though Parker is the perfect playboy name, is that really who he is deep down inside?

They are soon to be ex-stepsiblings due to the short marriage of his father to her mother when they meet. Soon, Parker needs Chloe’s expertise when his client is caught in a scandal. The chemistry between them is undeniable from the start and luckily we don’t have to wait too long to get some sizzling action.
I love that the chapters are split up to follow both of their thoughts and feelings.
Overall, this is very well written with some great steamy scenes and a good mystery that we’ll have to wait until the trilogy is over to see how it all plays out. I look forward to reading the next books that will not only follow Chloe’s bff’s, Taylor and Alexandra, but more secrets from the Little Black Book.

Side bar – I like my book covers to come close to matching the descriptions I get of the characters and this one falls short. Chloe has red hair, but the cover shows a blond.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Book blurb: Release date ~ January 25, 2022

He needs her help. She needs to keep her hands off her hot new client in the first Little Black Book of Secrets novel by Karen Booth!

Parker was not a guy she was supposed to touch.

Right?

Celebrity publicist Chloe Burnett keeps her work and personal life strictly separate—until sports agent Parker Sullivan needs her help. His client has been targeted by Little Black Book, a vicious gossip account. If she’s going to win this social media battle, she needs to resist distractions from Parker the playboy, who is off-limits for so many reasons. But a business trip to Miami leads to her breaking her rules with a guy who might break her heart. And then she’s caught in Little Black Book’s crosshairs herself…
