Oh hell, I have no clue what I’m doing.But I just have to survive the month, and then the months after that, and I’ll be right where I need to be.Accepting the check from Jackson Lee at the end of the year.Then I’ll walk away. No regrets. Or will I?What if he’s romantic? The kind of guy that lives out of love and isn’t shy about it?Oh man. Please let him NOT be that guy.

This steamy little book introduces Piper to Joshua and the magic of Quebec. She spends a whirlwind month falling in love with the artist, his family, and home country. No matter what happens at the end of this series, my heart is going to be broken. I’m already most of the way in love with Joshua myself and there’s still eleven more gentlemen for Piper, and us, to fall in love with. I don’t know whether I’m more terrified or looking forward to what’s coming next.
I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.

Oh my! Joshua was such a sweetheart! I loved him from the beginning! I really don't know how Piper is going to do it. But I really loved their time together. Can't wait to see more of Piper journey. ❤

This is the second book in the Casanova Club Series by the Best Selling author, Ali Parker and it's one series that I am going to be anticipating every book with glee. In this book, Piper spends her first month with one of the billionaires. She heads for French Canada and meets the gorgeous Joshua. He is everything she could want ion a friend, lover and partner in life and so much more. He's a gentleman, a talented artist and, yes, he does paint a portrait of her but that's all I'm giving away. Piper is very confused and worried about what she has agreed to do for the next twelve months and is not really sure that she's doing the right thing! her mum and dad aren't contacting her and she is so upset about that although she does keep in contact with her brother and her best friend who helped her get a chance to do this scheme. She is met by Joshua at the airport and he takes her to one of the most wonderful hotels in Quebec that you could wish for and she stays there for most of the month. Only leaving when they visit his parents, and go to see Toronto and Niagara Falls. I don't envy Piper this journey as it would be oh so easy to fall in love with Joshua but there are eleven more to stay with [two of which I'd want to give a pass as they were not especially appealing when she met all the men. Emotions get involved as Piper is such a good and nice person who is very realistic and believable who tends to wear her heart on her sleeve as they say. Does she want to see Joshua again? Does she think that he is The One for her or is she going ahead with her plan? Will Joshua try to persuade her to wait for him? To fins out you're going to have to do the same as me and enjoy the journey as Piper spends her next eleven months with more billionaires ready to win her heart! I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED

I have purchased a copy of the steamy collection The Casanova Club books 1-3 by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
The 14 book collection contains the stories of twelve of the world’s most eligible billionaire bachelors who form a private matchmaking "Club" where they choose 10 potential matches who are then whittled down to one woman that the men must then each court for a month in 2019 with an end goal of marriage or the woman receives a million dollars. This three book set introduces us to the characters and provides us with the months December 2018- February 2019 where Piper and the men form close relationships and the lines between love,friendship and earning money for her family blur.
Book 2: Joshua
5 stars
Sweet and steamy with pictures descriptions,a travelog of 1800's Quebec and modern tourist points, and a poignant ending. January finds Piper away from her family for the first time and in Canada with a strong attraction to artist Joshua Curtis.
Book 3: Easton
4 stars
A highly steamy reformation of an alpha male romance with a poignant ending. Both Piper and egocentric, crass Miami Dolphins quarterback Easton start out February biased against each other and with Piper missing Joshua but, a day out on the ocean changes both their opinions. I enjoyed the softening of Easton's personality but not the fact that Piper could jump from Joshua's bed into Eston's while still professing feelings for Joshua.

Love love love this series. This is book 2 and we get to know Joshua and so does Piper. Joshua is the artist that lives in Quebec Canada. He is handsome, charming, rich, and oh so sweet. Piper finds it very difficult to keep her eye on the end prize. Being the first time she has been away from home and wined and dined in such a matter was beyond her wildest dreams. Joshua makes her feel like her little world has opened up to wonderful possibilities. Joshua is enamored with Piper and her honest, sweet, no fear self. He knows the heartache ahead of him but she is worth the pain.
This series is about 12 handsome, wealthy men from all over the world that agree to be part of a year long dating arrangement between one lucky beautiful woman and 12 men seeking a wife. The woman will spend 30 days with each man and at the end of the year will either choose one of the men to marry or will take one million dollars. Joshua was the first and it will be a difficult year for both Piper and us for having to wait for each book. I received an early copy to read and review. I love this book and even though this is a cliffhanger series it is well written and I am excited for the next books to release. I highly recommend this book and this series.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the second book in the Casanova Club series. This series is about 12 billionaires who joined a club where they each dated the same woman for one month each over the course of a year, and at the end of the year, the woman, Piper can accept a marriage proposal from one man, or walk away with $1 million. Piper want the money to save her parent;s restaurant and go to medical school. In January, Piper travels to Quebec to spend the month with Joshua. Joshua is an artist and from a wealthy family. Joshua arranges a number of romantic adventures for Piper and they grow close. Piper and Joshua have a lot in common and they talk about everything. They have an amazing connection they never thought would happen and Piper really cares about him. Joshua loves Piper and knows it will be hard to wait for the others to date her, but he is willing to wait. This book was more emotional than i expected and i think Piper and Joshua really had a connection. I think Piper didn't realize how hard it would be and she knows it is only going to get harder. I really liked the concept of this series and can't wait to read who is next.

A heavenly start for a crazy journey
Piper, part-time student and full-time Jane of all at her family's restaurant, goes to Canada and Joshua, a successful artist and millionaire, to spend the first of twelve months away from her family for her time as the Casanova Club girl of the year. As the story progresses they both realize that they were not prepared for the reality of their participation in the bachelorette type of event, especially once their time is finished. Ali Parker has done an amazing job of providing a visually and emotionally charged read for Piper's first bachelor. The emotional connection between the Piper and Joshua, her descriptions of the locations visited and the realistic view of the relationship has me wanting more. Joshua being the first of twelve bachelors has set the bar pretty high for the rest of the series and is a heavenly start for a crazy journey.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

One word to describe Piper’s time with Joshua: Poetic. Instead of writing a full review on the book, I’ve decided to break down the pros and cons of their time together and highlighted sections of the book that really highlights the important takeaways (please refer to my highlights on Piper’s book since I read the 3-pack book).
Pros:
- he’s sweet
- he can relate to Piper on a certain level regarding her parents and that whole situation
- he’s a bit reserved but seems open to explore new thing with her
- he takes his time, not rushing her into anything (like giving her a day to herself)
- although he wants to stay in Canada, Piper said she would be interested in living there
- he listens and takes notes of small things Piper says like how much she missed Janie and then flew her out to see her
Cons:
- he’s the first experience and therefore may be forgettable
- he’s stuck in Canada, doesn’t want to live anywhere else

One man down, and eleven to go, as the way of the Casanova Club. Piper will be spending one month with each wealthy bachelor, until decisions have to be made at the end of the year. The month of January is spent with Joshua, an artist from Canada. First, I felt like I experienced Canada with Piper, all through the words of author, Ali Parker. Second, the connection that Piper and Joshua had was so strong. It was beautiful reading and experiencing their time together, as they got to know each other. Was it a happy ending, or not? It was if you consider the strong feelings that they both had developed for each other, but now, Piper will be on to the next man for the next month, which I can't wait to read. I have really enjoyed the first two books in this series. I highly recommend them.

This was a captivating, heartwarming, and passionate story of discovering feelings unknown before and trying to find a way to better one's future. Piper is a young woman attempting to better her family's business and future and Joshua a young artist who wants to settle down and have love. The Casanova Club: Joshua was filled with flirtatious banter, wit, laughter, heartache, doubts, fear, passion, and love. Ali Parker has created a great well written story of discovering wanting different things from someone else is not selfish. Wonderful characters that readers will fall in love with. I absolutely loved reading this book and I'm really excited to read the rest of . the series.

WOW. WOW. WOW.
OMG...Joshua.🔥🔥🔥What a dream he is.
Well Ali you truly have nailed this series.
I can't wait now for #3 and after reading this book I wonder if any if the other Billionaire's will match Joshua the dreamboat. Deep down I hope not but we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm glad Piper had a wonderful month with him but I cried when she had to leave. I know this is the Casanova Club deal they both entered but I cried so much at the end because they were both so sad and I had to feel it more for Joshua as he is the one who has to wait it out. 😢
Brilliant Ali. You have smashed it.

I liked the second book more than the first. I felt like I got to know the characters better, not just because the author went into more depth but she did a better job of showing us who they were and not just summarizing.
I loved Joshua's character. He was such a sweetie! He experienced similar challenges with his parents that Piper is currently experiencing, which helped them connect. I thought he was good for Piper in many ways, and liked who they were as a couple.
Easton is next. I didn't like him at all in the first book but maybe he will have some redeeming qualities when we get to know him better.

Here we go. This is book 2 of the Casanova Club and Joshua is the first bachelor to spend time with Piper. He's an artist that lives in Canada so his life is definitely different from hers. When she first lands, she's not sure what to expect. As time goes by, will these two fall in love? Will she eventually pick him?? Only time will tell considering she still has 11 more men to date in the next year. I am so looking forward to book 3. These books are well written and the characters are so very likable. Enjoy,

Couldn’t put it down
I’m still tearing up after finishing this book. It was sweet, bold and passionate. Piper is figuring out that while her brain wants the million dollars, her heart has other plans as it sets sights on a sexy artist. Their dates are dreamworthy and their sex is definitely “buzz”worthy.
I enjoyed how the characters fell hard and fast despite their want to protect their hearts. I look forward to reading about guy #2 while my own heart is still hurting and rooting for Joshua.

Bachelor number one
Piper struggles with her emotions when she spends a month with Joshua the artist. How can anyone walk away from Joshua who was the perfect man. He's everything you could want.
Definitely a page turner and the characters are beautifully written. My one gripe is how quickly piper jumped into bed with Joshua. I would have thought she would be more guarded after all her aim is to get the million so she can help her family.
Really liked this one although recommend if you like a romance with a little drama.

They both chose to go in different directions than the family business. Joshua is a Canadian billionaire with an art business. Piper only wanted to help her family and friends by getting the money. It would go to good use and help a lot of people if she stayed on course. Spending a month together, the two realized that the feelings felt were real, but will they be able to endure the time apart while she met with another billionaire bachelor trying to make her his? I voluntarily agreed to receive an ARC of this book for an honest review.

Piper first stop on with the Casanova club was to a Joshua in the Quebec. She has a month to spend with him . Joshua is a artist who father thought needed to learn how to relax and enjoy life. After being there a week Piper though he was attentive , sweet and generous. They had month but after a week they were so close. Joshua was so good to her I was so taken that I will be voting for him How Will Piper handle the next eleven
January 23, 2019
This book was so hard to put down. I loved reading about Joshua. He is sweet, caring, sexy as hell, and perfect for Piper. Piper fell for him pretty fast. But she still has another eleven men over the next eleven months. I don't know if any of those men can match or beat Joshua. I loved how their chemistry was off the charts. They made such a great couple. I am excited to find out who Piper will spend February with!
January 24, 2019
Joshua and Piper's story is a romantic one. Piper flys to Quebec for her first month in the Casanova experience. From the beginning they hit it off. They get along so well and the attraction is off the charts. They quickly begin falling for one another. This is a rollercoaster of emotions. I feel its going to be hard to top this month. I am so rooting for Joshua. But we will see what the other guys have to offer!
January 30, 2019
Casanova Club 2. What a way to start this series! This book was great and very sexy romantic. Piper is in trouble if all the other men in the club comes to her as romantic as Joshua did. Joshua came bearing gifts and spoiled Piper for the rest of the year. I don't know how anyone can top what Joshua did. But I can't wait to read the next book. A must read series! *** I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s. ***
January 23, 2019
Piper spent her first month in Quebec with Joshua - the artist who forged his own way after rejecting the family business. There was great chemistry between them. And I’m really rooting for him to be the one she picks at the end of the year...
I can’t wait to read where she ends up next month. And with who.

Can't we stop at Joshua? Lol
I love this book series, but did she have to start off with someone so amazing?? If Piper doesn't pick Joshua, I'll take him lol this certainly is a captivating and juicy start to what I'm sure will be a rollercoaster of rooting for a favorite! Loved it!

You won’t be able to put this book down once you start reading it. Clear your schedule and grab a box of tissues because you are in for the ride of your life.
I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out!!

AMAZING...if this is how the entire Series of Casanova Club is going to go down then I am so in. The month of Piper Sullivan and James Curtis was just breathtaking and at the end left you a little breathless. Waiting with baited breathe for the next edition.
January 29, 2019
A bachelor style book with a bit of a twist. I am a bit biased as a fellow Canadian in my hopes that Joshua is the one for Piper. I know I’m jumping the gun as there’s 11 more men to date but I can’t help but hope that the Canadian wins out!

Whew...great emotional read.
Whew... great emotional read. Complex and vivid. Ready for the next in the series. Each of the characters have something to contribute. Can't wait to read the next book.

Piper thought this would be easy. Could she possibly fall in love with the first of twelve guys in the Casanova Club. Read to find out.
