I’m not gonna lie, I fell in love with a playboy. But this playboy, to me, was a “play” man. He was all man. Hot, sexy, fricken lovable man!!!
It starts with a bet, he wins. Cullen wins the girl, the other guys date. But the betting doesn’t stop there, it’s just beginning. And the stakes are getting pretty high.
“Part of being a good gambler is knowing when to walk away. That’s the principle of everything in life. Everything has a price. The price of winning is betting — sometimes more than wh ...more

This book was so good! I really liked the whole poker and Vegas scene. It made everything sexier. I loved Cullen and Wynn together. They are attracted to each other from the moment they meet and act on that attraction, and boy was it hot!
One thing I really loved about this book was that there’s no unnecessary drama. Everything flowed and even though there was some hesitation on Wynn’s part, it was totally understandable and nothing that really bothered me. I truly believe her a ...more

Playboy was a wonderful surprise. I enjoyed Wynn and Cullen. Their chemistry and connection was on point. Especially the flirting between them was exceptional. Being in their presence felt like watching a sensual dance. Cullen was so smooth, secretive and that’s exactly what I liked about him whereas Wynn held on to her opinions about her wants and needs in life. They crashed together and unleashed beautiful and sensual passion. The other characters from the other Manwhore books make appearances

I truly have to hand it to Katy Evans; she certainly understands foreplay. She gets it is the ramp up... the anticipation and it is the wooing that makes all of the other stuff happen and make our hearts sing. She knows how important the way lovers touch you...the physical touching but also the way they touch you mentally.

Straight up, I really enjoy Katy Evans' stories. She brings a certain intensity to each and every one but unfortunately, she lost me on this one.
And maybe it's because I'm not a gambler because as the story advanced, the more into the gambling the story became. Not only is Cullen a world class, high ranking professional gambler but Cullen and Wynn make bets with each other on almost everything.

I didn't read the other ones but this one made me intrigued to start them!
I enjoyed this one, but it also felt like I couldn't believe it. Sometimes I was like seriously how did you go from that to this so fast like in a blink of an eye.. But I still enjoyed it!
I even found the drama level low, don't know if it's true or if it's just me. Maybe I'm so used to drama that it's not much for me anymore.

When I first started the Manwhore series, meeting Wynn as Rachel’s friend, I was hoping she would get back together with her chef boyfriend, Emmett, and it seemed like they would by the end of Womanizer. But now that I’ve read Playboy, I’m so glad Katy Evans decided on Cullen for Wynn. He is alpha, sexy and sweet all at once, wanting to give everything to the girl who deserves it all.

Like Wynn, I fell a whole lot in love with sexy, silver-eyed Cullen. My, oh my, the sexual tension is off the charts! Whew! And that ending *swoon*. Katy Evans writes like no one else and always delivers a love story that will give you all the feels! Playboy gets five-flaming stars!
She thought she was lucky but she hadn't met Cullen- the luckiest man or so everyone thought. Little did he know that his luck was about to skyrocket.
Wynn realizing who Cullen was knows that she has to guard her heart, though since meeting Cullen it seems that her life has taken a turn for the better with more excitement than she's had. Wynn's ability to keep living life to the fullest despite what she can not have had me rooting for her to meet the one that would cherish, protect and love no m ...more

I think this might be my favourite from this author. Such a great read. Cullen is the quintessential Vegas Poker Player - his nickname Playboy - suits him perfectly. Then he meets Wynn and everything changes. A simple bet becomes so much more. He is EVERYTHING I love in a BBF!! I absolutely loved the writing style in this one. The banter between the characters was hilarious and their chemistry - WOWSA - be sure to have hubs or fresh batteries handy. I binged this story in one session and cannot

Okay, yes, I was trying to be funny by using her name there sorry about that.
Wynn was down on her luck when it came to men, especially since her latest break up hit her hard. So, when her lasted date makes a bet with a very good poker player who happens to be sexy, oh and the winner gets her, what is a woman suppose to do?
This book was light and sexy. I didn't find it to be full of angst which could be good depending if you like that or not.

Playboy is Cullen and Wynn's story and wow does it start off perfectly. Cullen is known in the poker as the Playboy for various reasons but mostly the fact that he has never once been with the same women twice. He never wines and dine them - they are poker babes who are there for one thing - a piece of the man.

This was a great book. I loved the play on words. It was not your typical Vegas read, but yet it was. Whatever Katy writes I usually really enjoy it. This book was no different. In fact I read it cover to cover in one day. I havent done that in ages.
The HEA is sweet and definitely earned. There was no insta love. Wynn the heroine in the story, was all of us. This beautiful 30 year old, without a husband and a short string of deadened romances.
Try this story you will enjoy it! ...more
