James Rowan earns a modest income as a YouTube daredevil, but he can’t refuse Lizzy’s million dollar deal. As she polishes his rough edges, creating a sophisticated gentleman fit for the highest circles of society, not only does she bring out the perfect man—it’s like she’s making the man of her dreams. How can she resist?
Though Lizzy loves seeing James in his clothes—and out of them—he isn’t the kind of man you bring home to Daddy. Her father’s disapproval and the pressure of the campaign have her eyeing the straight and narrow, but Lizzy’s finding it awfully hard to resist the devil on her shoulder…
** A stand-alone, contemporary romance. **
⭐️ 3.5 "Daredevil" Stars ⭐️
When I first read the blurb for Million Dollar Devil I was already sold on this story. Sadly for me, this novel didn’t entirely convinced me. I had difficulty for the first quarter of this book to be captivated by the storyline, but persevered in my reading. It paid off because I gradually connected more to the characters and enjoyed this book. Not my favorite from this author, but still pleasant.
"I've never met a human being that made me fell as alive - as perfect even with my flaws... as seen... as happy... as free - as him."
Lizzy would do anything to prove to her dad she’s capable of becoming the next CEO of his company. When all her options to find the next face for Banks LTD’s upcoming menswear collection are lost, she turns to cocky daredevil James Rowan.
James is rough around the edge, shameless and so sexy! The complete opposite of what the company represents. Always ready for a dare, he accepts Lizzy’s million dollar offer and the transformation starts. I enjoyed his never-ending sexual innuendos toward the young woman. She’s not accustom to this kind of forwardness, but can’t help the attraction simmering between them. Lizzy’s always trying to please her father, but by doing that she’s not living her life and James shows her a new audacious side of her.
"You're not fragile, sweetheart. You're rare, and that makes you pure gold."
I enjoyed this couple flirty banter and the blossoming of their romantic relationship. This is quite slow, but I still enjoyed the pace. Million Dollar Devil wasn’t as attention-grabbing as I wanted, but I had good time reading it.
