It was only meant to be one night. I wasn't meant to meet a handsome alpha billionaire like Grant Slate.
I wasn't meant to work the bachelor party. I wasn't even a dancer, but I couldn't tell my best friend no. She said I wouldn't have to do anything I didn't want to do. And there was no way I was going to be giving any private dancers.

Hated it
The synopsis sounded great so I eagerly dove in. It started out promising.....and then went dark and off the rails. A second guy was introduced, she's apparently being held against her will, etc. I skipped ahead around 46% of the book, right to the end. Ugh. ...more

Not a good story
I really hate to write bad reviews but this book was really pretty bad. The story was so weird and nothing was ever explained. She never finished the story our explained the plot. It was just completely unbelievable and strange. Don't waste your time. ...more

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
I read this book when it first came out as Alpha Billionaire. It took me forever to figure out why the story felt so familiar. This is the story of struggling freelance journalist Evie. She is in need of a way to make some money quick and her best friend talk her into working with her. This is where Evie meets Grant. If you knew or had seen Grant too you would know why she couldn't turn him down. One thing leads to another and th ...more

I was given an ARC for a honest review.
I’m very conflicted. I loved it but then I didn’t. I feel so much. I felt the character development was there but then lacking. I felt lost but then I understood. I loved the characters then I didn’t. This book just took me for a trip. It’s not your typical JS Cooper book. It’s a separate cookie, but still worthy of a read. I gave it 4 stars because I enjoyed the angst and turmoil. I felt like the story could have been executed differently but it was still ...more

Playing games
This book was different from any other J.S. Cooper book I've read. It was darker and a little twisted. The story was also kind of confusing to follow.
Evie fills in for her friend and roommate, Hailey, to work as a stripper for a party. There she meets Grant and ends up going home with him. Then Evie meets Tyler and the whole story changes.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. This book is on the dark side. Something different from this author. A definite page turner.
Evie's friend begs her to fill in on her at her job so she can go on date. Only she doesn't have your typical job. She's a stripper who makes good money. Five grand could do a lot to help her with bills.
Grant is attending a bachelor party when he meets Evie. He quickly realizes she is out of her element and comes to her rescue.

Amazing Storyline
Dive helps her friend out by doing her job for one night there she meets Grant and goes home with him even though she has never had a one night stand, there she meets Tyler and what happens next is a story in it's self. This book has many twists and turns along with a dark theme but it is so well written by Jamie. I definitely recommend this book as it will keep you reading to the last page to see what happens. ...more

You will be like, What the heck! Is this a true Happily Ever After story for Evie, or a What in your ever Lovin mind did you get yourself into? I was so caught up in this story, between Grant, Evie and Tyler that, even reading it I wasn't sure if she was dreaming, it was all real, or was I reading into it all. Enjoy this story, I certainly did, never knew what was coming next🤔. ...more

I was given an ARC for an honest opinion. This story was a bit dark. Evie, a naive girl, wants to be an investigative reporter and gets caught up in dangerous games. Grant & Tyler are dark characters that have the reader on edge, trying to figure out what they are up to the whole time. It was entertaining but I felt like it ended abruptly.. I would have needed a little more wrap up to the story. It was still an entertaining story.

This story was dark. I read it in the 7 Nights of Sin Box set which I recommend highly. Two brothers pick up women and play mind games with them, but they met their match with Evie. Evie meets Grant & goes in for a one night stand and from there the confusion, darkness, and WTH moments start. I must say that it kept me on the edge with the betrayals, lies, and warnings from outsiders. This is a very different type of story but a very satisfying one.

Evie, Grant and Tyle will keep you mesmerized. What a whirlwind read. Fast-paced and, full of steamy action guaranteed to keep your Kindle on fire. Well written with interesting characters and an entertaining, sexy read. A little dark, a little thriller and a little crazy. I read a reader copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

Wow!
This was a mind bender with out going overboard! I was ready for the story to take even more twists and turns but it thankfully ended and very tastefully I think too!! It really kept my attention and had me wanting more and I'm so glad I read it!! I suggest it to anyone who wants a little dark to their blissfully normal. ...more

Things are certainly not what they seem at the Slate Manor. I'm still left with a what the heck feeling. Such terrible lies and deception. Games that go wrong. Animal attraction. Friends that are not trustworthy. It's all enough to make for a suspenseful story

This was a good short read. I read it in a few hours but I enjoyed every single minute! This story was very different to Mrs. Cooper's other books but I was very impressed with dark and steamy scenes. Get your copy and you won't regret it ;)

This book is definitely not what I was expecting. I finished it but only because I skimmed over parts just to see how it would end. Sad that my second J.S. Cooper book was so weird and disappointing. I hope the others aren't like this.
