Excerpt: 

He has a face that—until now—only existed in my dreams. Hard jaw, chiseled to perfection. Firm, plush, kissable lips. Sharp, pristine blue eyes that feel like lasers zeroing in on me. He catches my gaze, and the devil’s smile suddenly playing on his lips is worth a million bucks. 

That’s exactly how much it cost me. What this guy cost me. I would’ve paid so much more. 

It’s like he’s the only man in the room. Like he belongs here. Confidence oozes out of his every pore. Masculinity envelops him as perfectly as his custom black suit. He walks like he owns the place. My heart beats harder and harder for him. 

I can’t believe I got him to agree to this. 

Women are vying for his attention. His moves are smooth. Sophisticated. Elegant. 

“An autograph?” a young woman asks shyly. 

He takes the notepad and pen she extends and scribbles his name, his voice low and rough. “There you go.” Beneath all that polish is his raw masculine energy. The determination that brought him here. 

“James . . .” I halt him before we go any farther. “Whatever happens . . .” 

He looks at me. A thousand words lingering in his look. “I know.” 

But does he? I’ve fallen in love with my own creation. I polished a diamond, and now it’s flawless. Perfect. But it’s not mine to keep. He is not mine to keep. 

This elite world he’s about to join isn’t one he was born into. These fans only know him because of me. His place at the top? That’s not where I found him.

Million Dollar Devil by Katy Evans

Katy Evan's Million Dollar Devil features two completely new characters: Elizabeth Banks and James Rowan. While this was not my favorite Katy Evans book, mostly because of Lizzy, I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Lizzy was a hard character to like because of her "holier than thou" attitude and I wish we had gotten someone more down to earth. I did get where she was coming from but the way she spoke to James grated on my nerves more than a few times. There is absolutely nothing wrong with James. While reading the book, I couldn't help but think that he deserved someone better. The attraction between them was there but I wanted more substance. Lust is temporary, love is forever.

“We have a lot of work ahead. Tomorrow, meet me there at noon. Get your life squared away. You’ll be mine for three months.” 

James Rowan then surprises me by pocketing the address and asking, “So for three months, does that mean you’re mine too?”

I honestly didn't get why Lizzy was so fixated on wanting her father's approval. That man is... something. I guess with that kind of man as a father, it's kind of expected that she would eventually grow up to have this kind of personality. I also thought Lizzy's hot and cold attitude towards James got old really fast and I wanted something to happen between them. On the other hand, I was really intrigued and really liked James as a character. He wanted to earn money so that he and his brother could get "out of the slums" and a better life. As mentioned in the synopsis, James is a daredevil. He is a up-and-coming Youtube star who takes dangerous dares for money. He and his brother Charlie live a hard life and when Lizzy offers him one million dollars to become a model for her father's company, he takes it.

Even though the story was slightly frustrating at times, Million Dollar Devil was good for what it was -- a light-hearted read with good chemistry between two completely opposite characters. If you're looking for something with more feelings, romance, and sexual tension between the hero and heroine, I recommend you read her fantastic Real, Manwhore, and Manhattan series as well!

Once Upon A [Fallen] Time by Samreen Ahsan

Once Upon A [Fallen] Time is the sequel and second book in the Stolen series. I read the first book, Once Upon A [Stolen] Time a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it! I do recommend re-reading the first book in order to fully understand and grasp the situation our two main characters, Myra and Edward, are in. Samreen Ahsan once again delivers and I couldn't be happier. I adored Myra and Edward's relationship in the first book and thought Samreen did a wonderful job continuing their romance by building up even further. I can feel Edward's longing and love for Myra, which is a bonus in my opinion.

The story in Once Upon A [Fallen] Time takes place immediately after the events of the first book, which contained a cliffhanger. Myra and Edward are finally together but there are still obstacles in their path to a happy ending. Edward is still dealing with his "demons" and Myra's personality is still the same as ever. She just wants everything now. Another thing was that I thought Samreen commendably wove both past and present point of views between Myra and Edward together perfectly. Even though their romance is still in the early stage of development, Myra is now in Edward's time! However, as with the last book, there are still so many questions and not enough answers. The book does end with another cliffhanger and it is an emotional one at that.

In the last review, I didn't mention King Steven but he honestly gave me the creeps and I don't trust him at all. Looks like I was right, and so were many others. I can't wait to read the next book to see what will happen next. I really really hope Edward will find out the truth. Overall, I highly recommend this series to those who are looking for a solid romance with elements of time travel and history in it!
