It was perfect series and just what I needed.
I wish this series was longer because I love the characters. Can't wait to read what happens next. Because author made promise. It’s not quite over yet.

Sexy Series Wrap Up!
This review will contain possible spoilers for previous books.
When we last left Carrie she was getting way to close to Howard, you could see the trouble coming for her a mile away. He has files she wants and she is going to do whatever she needs to get them. Howard is a low life, that we know, but now we see how low this man really is. The first chapter will have you hating him all the more.
Carrie finally gets too close to the fire and gets burned. She learns way more about Howard than she ever wanted to know, as well as Gavin. He is the character that bothered me from the beginning. Gavin was just one of those guys that was too good to be true. He had to be hiding something and I couldn't wait to see what it was.
This is the most suspenseful book of the series. M.S. Parker did an excellent job of keeping us wanting more at the end of each book. All lingering questions were answered and the story was wrapped up nicely. I also liked that we got a sneak peek into Krissy's book that sounds just as good. I would like to thank M.S. Parker for letting me read her book for review.

In the fifth and final installment of the short novella series Club Prive, we finally see some action. Gavin and Carrie have had a hot, heavy and steamy relationship in books 1-4. At the end of book 4, Howard Weiss, Gavin's associate, and the man Carrie's law firm where she is a paralegal, is investigating for his divorce, reveals that he is dirtier than everyone first thought. Howard is involved with human trafficking, and Carrie now has the proof to nail him to the proverbial cross.
In the fifth book, the story starts out with Carrie agreeing to meet Howard at his office to discuss his offer of employment. Once there, Carrie is drugged and taken away to the private room at Club Prive, where she awakens shackled to a bed, with Howard threatening to rape her before he either kills her, or sends her to be the sex slave of one of his Saudi associates.
Up until this book, I wasn't really sure what these stories were about, except that the author clearly liked to write about sex in various places and positions. Part of the issue I had with these stories is that up until book 5, there was very little in the way of plot, and the character of Gavin was about as trustworthy as an ant at a picnic. Little background info was provided on him until the middle of the second book, or the beginning of the third. And while there was more written about Carrie- there wasn't much depth to her either, except that some family emergency had kept her from finishing her law degree on time, so she was now a paralegal working her way through her last semester of school.
While these books were entertaining, I think two of the short novellas could have been cut out to make this series slightly shorter, and therefore, get to the point a lot quicker.
However, I did enjoy reading them, and I look forward to whatever else this author writes!

My Rating:
4.5 smokin hot hearts!
Favorite Quotes:
“I dropped my head down, pretending that the sugar rimmed Lemon Drop martini sitting in front of me was the essence of my life.”
“Inside, nestled against rich black velvet, was the most beautiful necklace I’d ever seen. I almost couldn’t bring myself to pick it up, terrified that some mistake had been made and that a single touch would bring people swooping down into the apartment to ask me how I dared to have such a lovely piece of jewelry.”
My Review:
Oh my, my, MY! What a yummy treat. A steamy and spicy romantic suspense tale, in a well written, intriguing, and addictive little package. Thankfully, I had the whole series as I couldn’t put it down - not until my eyes were blurred and my stomach rumbled from being completely empty. Even then, I didn’t want to stop. Sigh. Everyone else’s life is just so exciting and eventful compared to mine. The entire series was very well written, unpredictable - yet mostly believable… well… as believable as it can be while having a rich man fall for young woman he meets by chance while she is out with her friends. Sigh, a rich, handsome, well-toned, generous, sexually talented, well endowed, and well-dressed man with a sense of humor. Sign me up for that night out with the girls please. If you are new to this author, buy the entire series - believe me - you will want them all.

The final book in the series.
After Carrie sneaks into Howard's office and finds the information she needs, she accepts an invitation to meet Howard for a “job interview”. She purposely gets there early to do some more snooping. What she gets is drugged and kidnapped.
She wakes up tied to a bed and naked. She knows she’s in the Club Prive’ members room and knows the voice of the person who has her. She can’t scream or move. She’s fighting the impulse to vomit because her assailant is cutting her clothes off with a knife and telling her all the depraved things he is going to do to her. Telling her how he’s going to make her succumb to the things he trains the other girls to take. The ones he sells to the highest bidder and all the activities they do with their pets.
There are too many spoilers for me to go any further but here’s my advice. Get these books, all of them. Follow the plots and enjoy the hot sex.
I loved this book the best. Not because it was the end but because the whole trip was worth it. All of the books were good. This one brought them home.
If you like hot, steamy sex, a plot that will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat, you need to read this series. I never saw the ending coming.
I gave this book 5 stars.

Absolutely Perfect
MS Parker is such a gifted writer. This series has had some pretty intense moments, cliffhangers and steamy sex but this final book in the Club Prive series blew all my expectations and then some. It was brilliant storytelling that literally had me turning the pages on the edge of my couch!
As usual Carrie's intuition puts her into a terrible situation that escalate into a nail biting, teeth grinding position. Gavin is amazing with his poker face and the love that he has for Carrie is pouring out of this book.
The story that starts out about a man and woman and some amazing chemistry, evolves into a message that definitely needs to shared. MS Parker ends this series with some shockingly, scary home truths. Life isn't always perfect. People, especially young, impressionable woman, can sometimes be beaten down and used. With Carrie and Gavin working together the victim's voice will be heard.
Without spoilers there's not much to say other than...read it! You will NOT be disappointed.

This book picks up exactly where book IV left off...
Finally! After a little wait we get the jaw dropping, epic conclusion to the Club Prive series and boy it did not disappoint at all!
Carrie has learned Howard's secret and he will stop at nothing to make her one of "his girls". When she learns what happened to Patricia and the other girls he "employs", she is disgusted and wants revenge. But Howard is on to her game and sets her up. Is Howard really involved in human trafficking? Is Gavin involved too? Is Gavin simply grooming Carrie to be sold by Howard? Is Howard grooming Gavin to take over his business?
I will have to say that I love this series and I loved this ending! There was drama, mystery, and finally all of the questions that were building are answered. I will have to say that Gavin had me worried but he pulled through in the end and cleaned everything up with a nice little bow! I loved the epilogue and I am hoping to see more of Gavin and Carrie in the future!
I cannot wait for Krissy's series coming soon! The sneak peek was awesome and so freaking sexy!

Finally finished this series and was genuinely satisfied by its conclusion! I've said before that a story divided into parts drives me nuts, but the right story...well, long story short, this story is RIGHT! Carrie finally gets information confirming what a true sleaze Howard is, which of course, lands her in huge trouble. Gavin wants Howard strung up by his balls for his own reasons, and when all roads finally meet at the club that started it all, WOW! I'm not going to give away too much, but I will say that Carrie's courage had me cheering, Gavin's strength and vulnerability had me smiling, and were I not on the train when I finished, I would have applauded the ending! Well worth the read!

Once again 10 Stars! I usually do not like short reads or cliff hangers but I totally loved this series! The author keeps your suspense building and building with each book .The author wrote each book with a cliff hanger to keep you interested in the next book. I started this book and before I knew it it was 5 in the morning lol. I could not put these books down... You fall in love with these characters and the books are wrote out perfectly! I hate to see this series come to a end. I so hope later we may get another book about how Carri and Gaven's life together plays out. Thank you M.S. Parker for a great series! I can't wait for the next series.

5 freaking stars
OMG! What a perfect ending to a wonderful series. This book was my favourite, full of action, even a dildo hitting scene which made me snort. Howard the sleaze gets what he deserves in this book and for a moment Gavin had me worried. But things turned out okay. Carrie's snooping paid off and young women had been returned home because of her. I just adore S.M Parkers series', she is wonderful at them. I cannot wait to read all her other future releases.
I rate this whole set 5 stars

4 STARS!!!!!!
Wow book 5 totally ended this grouping of Club Prive with a BANG! The story had picked up in book 4 but book 5 had some really intense parts actually most of it was intense. All the books are quick reads so really it is more like 1 regular book. I think as one book it would have worked out better.
I will say that I felt there was some fluff to it that I didn't need. You know, descriptions of stuff that really isn't necessary and there is some repetitive parts that I felt were just filler.
I did end up liking this more then I thought I would.

What a great way to close the case. Glad that Patricia was able to come into the picture, maybe she will continue to show up. Hope that Annie was one of the women who came forward against Howard.

This review is for the final book in the series of Club Prive. If you have not read any of the books in this series, SPOILER ALERT! Please do not keep reading this review.
Carrie Summers is a paralegal who meets Gavin Manning in a bar in Club Prive I. He’s taken with her and even though she never calls, he pursues her. Carrie and Gavin’s relationship evolves throughout the books in this series. Gavin trusts Carrie with his secrets nobody knows about. Gavin has a past where he lost a very close person he loved and the responsible person was never found.
Howard Weiss is Gavin’s close friend and boss. Gavin and Howard are partners in Club Prive. It’s a bar/members only club. Howard is going through a messy divorce and enlists the firm Carries works at for representation. Carrie is told to dig into Howard’s past to find any skeletons he may have to try to squash the allegations his wife has of cheating. Carries starts digging into files Gavin provides and notices very young girls with Howard in photos. As Carrie digs deeper and makes phone calls, she realizes these girls have gone missing shortly after photographs with Howard were taken.
Carrie and Gavin form a relationship and have hot sex, the best she’s ever had! He’s a HOT ALPHA MALE with some minor domination! Carrie goes away to Miami with Gavin where they end up at one of Howard’s parties. Carries sneaks into his office and finds out some information that could change everything! Is Howard really a good guy or is he a bad guy? How is Gavin involved in all of this? Has Gavin been lying to her all along? There are so many questions after finishing book 4 that has your head spinning. Trust me, my head was spinning reading Club Prive V also. But I loved every second of it. I kept thinking HOLY CRAP what just happened? There are definitely twists and turns in this storyline. It kept me turning each page as quickly as possible.
“I just hoped I could lie as well as I thought I could. If Gavin suspected I knew the truth, I didn’t know what he’d do.”
I love Carrie’s best friend Krissy. This poor girl is lonely other than the usual “romps”. She just wants a man like Gavin, rich and sexy to only want her. Does she finally find that man?
“We must’ve done it in three different positions and I came every time. I’ve never had that many orgasms that weren’t fake or courtesy of myself”
I rate this 4.5 stars. I did love the characters in this series and there was some action going on with the plot. I do wish there was more of an ending, I tend to get selfish when I like characters in a story. Ha ha. I just can’t help myself. This story is a Contemporary Romance.

Hot, sexy and full of suspense I couldn’t put this series down!!
Leaving Carrie in in a tight spot at the end of the 4th book left me dying to see who was on the other side of the door. As much as I love Gavin I could se him being there and Carrie’s love for him get destroyed but with Howard turning into a bigger slim ball then I thought god knows who was on the other side of the door. After the mystery guess enters the room with Carrie out of sight, my hatred for Howard grew. I never thought I could really hate a character in a book before until I met Howard. He is truly the bad guy in all way possible.
Carrie has put her safety and heart on the line for one person but at what cost? Howard is willing to take what he wants and put Carrie’s life into Gavin’s hands on but what he doesn’t know could end up hurting him. The question remains as to whose side Gavin is on and how will Carrie get through all of this.
I started this series as something new to reading as most of my books of choice don’t have much suspense just drama. I fell in love with Gavin ad Carrie in the first to books and could wait to see where their story takes the. MS Parker picked up the suspense in the previous book having we dying for this one. I was up pacing while reading as I could sit still. I needed to know what was going to happen next. I wanted to know that Carrie and Gavin were truly meant to be together.
MS Parker can not only write an amazing romance novel but the suspense throughout the book kept me on the edge of m seat. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend reading this series or anything else she writes, she is truly an amazing writer. This was an awesome opening series for her and I can’t wait to see what she has coming out for us next!

After the mystery guess enters the room with Carrie out of sight, my hatred for Howard grew. I never thought I could really hate a character in a book before until I met Howard. He is truly the bad guy in all way possible.
Carrie has put her safety and heart on the line for one person but at what cost? Howard is willing to take what he wants and put Carrie’s life into Gavin’s hands on but what he doesn’t know could end up hurting him. The question remains as to whose side Gavin is on and how will Carrie get through all of this.
I started this series as something new to reading as most of my books of choice don’t have much suspense just drama. I fell in love with Gavin ad Carrie in the first to books and could wait to see where their story takes the. MS Parker picked up the suspense in the previous book having we dying for this one. I was up pacing while reading as I could sit still. I needed to know what was going to happen next. I wanted to know that Carrie and Gavin were truly meant to be together.
MS Parker can not only write an amazing romance novel but the suspense throughout the book kept me on the edge of m seat. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend reading this series or anything else she writes, she is truly an amazing writer. This was an awesome opening series for her and I can’t wait to see what she has coming out for us next!

Review: 4 Star Review Club Prive 5 by MS Parker
I received this Arc for an honest review.
This is the 5th and final book in the series and they are not stand alone. You must read books, 1, 2, 3 and 4 first.
At the end of book 4 there were so many questions that needed to be answered. Was Gavin what he seemed to be? Why did Howard have information in his safe on the hit and run that killed Gavin's fiancée? Would Howard catch Carrie in the act trying to find information on the missing woman? Would Gavin be able to save Carrie?
In this book, the romance, mystery and intrigue, created in book 4 reaches it's explosive conclusion. I have to be honest, I felt that this book was a little rushed. It was as though it was raced through to get to the end and ensure that all questions were answered. I was happy that all my quetions were answered but I was left with the feeling that more could have been expanded on prior to the HEA. Howard as expected, is a sick and twisted individual who was thouroughly evil. Just how evil was an eye opener. Gavin finally gets the answers he needs regarding the accident which caused the death of his fiancee. Carrie's determination and sheer will shown in her search to get to the bottom of the disappearance of the missing Patricia was remarkable. As with the previous books, the sex was hot. Gavin and Carrie certainly have that down, make no mistake. Their passion ignites a flame in the reader.
Overall I thought that this was a wonderful series and I am looking forward to reading more from the talented MS Parker.

The perfect conclusion for this amazing series! I was given this book as an ARC and once again M.S. Parker wowed me! It begins as Carrie is in Howard's office in his Miami mansion with voices just outside the door. Being caught is not an option so she must find a hiding place. While hiding quietly while Howard and his assistant enter the office she hears him discussing Gavin and his relationship with her. What she hears turns her stomach and hardens her heart, could everything between them be a lie? When Howard leaves the office with the files she needs she knows she must return to New York get into his office there. She is devastated by what she has heard and determined to do all she can to find out what has happened to Patricia. Will she and Gavin survive this or could everything Howard said be true. But more than anything else she knows she must do everything she can to find out what happened to the girl who disappeared almost 2 years ago. This story is full of love, sex and suspense it is a must read with a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. You fall in love with Carrie and Gavin and root for their relationship to succeed and find their happy ending. M.S. Parker is fantastic and I can't wait for her next book. This really is a great series that will not disappoint!

With how the previous instalment in the series was left you knew things were hotting up nicely!! With Carrie trapped in Howard’s office she hears some things that cause her to want more information, unfortunately what she overhears has an inpact on her relationship with Gavin.
Now this is the really tricky part of the book to review for me. To explain anymore of what happens will give a lot away. All I will say is that from what we have learnt of Howard so far is that he is one sick and twisted ….person. This is proven beyond a doubt by the end of this book and I have to say I cheered Carrie on when she hit him where it hurts and punches him!!
How Gavin and Carrie’s relationship evolves into something ‘more’ in this is stunning. In my opinion this book is miles ahead of the others in the series and I will freely admit that I loved the others, really loved the others.
At the end of this we get a teaser of what is to come from her next series and I have to say her books look like they are just going to keep getting better and better, I cannot wait!!
Please note I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It's a little disheartening knowing that the story of Gavin and Carrie has come to an end, but it was every bit as exciting as the last four books. This series MUST be read in order to get the full effect of the story, otherwise you'll just be lost not knowing why they've came so far as a couple.
Book 5 picks up exactly where book 4 leaves off. There's the on the edge thrill of Carrie being in Howard's office, snooping around trying to find evidence that's been nagging at her about a missing girl. Something feels off and warning bells go off every time Howard is around, call it a 6th sense if you will.
Just when you think she's in the clear, there's a right hook that knocks you off kilter. The way that Gavin is entwined into the story, leaves questionable doubt, more questions that leaves you wondering. The way the story is written, you can't help but feel as the reader, feel the emotion behind the characters, the stress, anxiety, courage, lust, and love.
A definite exciting conclusion to this exciting sensual thriller.
Although the series has came to an end, the spin off to the next series leaves me salivating for more.

~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads Review Team~
Book five in a series of five. When things took a sudden turn in book four I was scared the author wouldn’t finish up the series without having loose ends. Thankfully the book came through and we got all the details and it was one hell of a ride! I am also happy to see that the next series the author writes, Chasing Perfection, will have characters from this series in it as well. This was a great series and I highly recommend it!
Characters: well written and you felt like you got to know the characters
Sex: oh yeah!
Religious: no
Would I recommend to others: yes
More than one book in the series: yes
Genre: Romance/Erotic
Would I read more by this author: yes

After what Carrie over heard and saw in Howard's office everything changed. When Carrie Summers decides to find out what her firm's client, Howard Weiss, is hiding, she never dreams it will turn her world upside-down. Now she's caught in a more dangerous situation than she'd ever dreamed and no one is coming to save her. Her heart is broken, but is her spirit strong enough to survive what Howard has planned?
The conclusion to the series was very good. Full of sex, drugs and doing the right thing no matter what the cost. The story just gets better the more you read. I even cried on a certain parts. This is definitely my new favorite series. I think the story would have been better as a whole not five parts. I really enjoyed getting to know the characters and the sub characters and all the plot twists and turns. I really enjoyed the conclusion of the story. It was an amazing read. I would highly recommend this series.

The exciting conclusion of the Club Prive series is definitely worth the wait. Howard has broken Carrie's trust in Gavin but even more disturbing to her are the lengths he goes to as he conducts his disgusting business. He not only broke Carrie's heart, he puts her life in danger. Not above torturing women, he truly believes Gavin will take part in her torture and possible murder. At this point in the series I truly disliked Gavin, almost as much as Howard. The suspense created by Ms. Parker is tense. While there is an HEA, the reader wonders if the characters will indeed get there and if it will really be happy. Did Howard's actions forever damage Carrie? Did they affect how she feels or trust Gavin? The reader is left dangling before the those questions are answered. The intense and exciting conclusion to this series is not to be missed. I was left wanting more of these characters, always the mark of a great story.

I can’t believe the series has come to an end, but oh what an ending it is… The story of Carrie and Gavin continues in book V. It is some of the hottest sex scenes that I have read, but it also has so much more. This book had suspense, heartache, love, danger, pure evil, great friends, and a really great looking; sensual, alpha male that also had a sensitive side.
The dynamics in this final book are unbelievable. I actually found myself holding my breath and hoping that evil didn’t win. I am not going to give away anything. I just want to say that this is an amazing series and a great read. The author had a great way of pulling the reader in and once you are hooked there is no stopping. I was happy to see at the end that there is going to be a new series with Carrie’s friend. I can’t wait for that.

Start to finish, this has been a great series and Book Five does not disappoint. So happy how well the series flows into each book. When we last saw Carrie, she was in Howard's office, about to be discovered. Quickly hiding, we find out more about Howard than we ever thought possible. Her faith in her decisions and Gavin are challenged and all explodes into an epic conclusion that left me completely satisfied. I loved Gavin and Carrie and, as a whole, this series is fantastic. You've got a little bit of everything. Drama, humor, and of course, hot, hot, hot. I want me some Gavin. I am also so glad that Krissy will also be getting her own spinoff because I just loved her. Thank you M.S Parker for a great series.
