REVIEW BLITZ – MISTER MONEYBAGS by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 

MMB banner 1

 

IMG_5273I met Bianca in an elevator.

She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.

The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.

She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.

Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn’t appreciate the simple things in life.

So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn’t want it to end.

I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.

I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.

I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.

I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.

And she was falling for two men.

Only, both men were me.

And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.

Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for what came after.

All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

REVIEW – MISTER MONEYBAGS by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

SYNOPSIS

A new standalone from New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.

I met Bianca in an elevator.
She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.
The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.
She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.
Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn’t appreciate the simple things in life.
So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn’t want it to end.
I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.
I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.
I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.
I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.
And she was falling for two men.
Only, both men were me.
And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.
Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for what came after.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

*****Mel’s Review*****
4.5 Stars!

Dexter Truitt runs a multi-million-dollar empire that he took over from his father. Montague Enterprises is a venture capital firm. As the CEO, Dex eats, sleeps, & breathes his job. He’s extremely successful, but a very private person. He’s finally agreed to give an exclusive to a magazine & be more in the public eye. On his way to get ready for his interview he gets stuck in an elevator with a gorgeous woman that intrigues him. When she mistakes him for a delivery guy based on his appearance, he doesn’t correct her after she’d shared her thoughts about rich men. She thinks they act entitled & feel the world revolves around them.

Bianca George is on her way to interview Dexter Truitt aka “Mister Moneybags.” She works as a reporter for a business magazine called Finance Times. She’s assigned to cover the story for this multimillionaire. Her plans are derailed when she’s heading up to his office & the elevator breaks. She soon learns she’s stuck in the dark with a sexy sounding stranger. Once the lights cut back on she’s stunned by how gorgeous he is.

The chemistry between Dex & Bianca is off the charts. Dex wants to get to know her & makes a split second decision. He lies about who he is & says his name is Jay. He wants a shot with her & was afraid she’d never give him a chance if she knew who he really was. She made it clear she prefers the simple life. She doesn’t care about money or prestige & seems to hold a grudge against those who have it.

Dex decides to let Bianca interview him over email since he now can’t let her see him in person. They begin talking every night & become addicted to their time together. Bianca starts to realize how genuine a person Dex is, and Dex realizes what a huge mistake he’s made lying about his identity. Both Jay & Dex are falling for Bianca, and now Dex is worried he will lose her when she finds out the truth. He’s crazy about her but keeps digging himself a deeper hole pretending to be Jay. Will Bianca ever be able to fully trust Dex when she finds out he deceived her?

I really adored Dex! He’s a wealthy, powerful, beautiful man with a huge heart. He falls so hard for Bianca. This was such a fun, flirty read full of emotion. Just loved it!

 

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****4.5 BALLSY STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Authors}

I smiled back and looked Dex in the eyes for a long while. What was staring back at me was absolutely beautiful. Not the man himself, but looking into his eyes, I saw love in its purest form. It was honest and open and willing to give me anything I wanted.

 

 

I’m convinced now, more than before, that the writing duo of Keeland and Ward is pure MAGIC!! Each time they release a new book it’s like the ultimate torture waiting to get my hands on it but, oh, how satisfied I feel when I get to the very last word!! MISTER MONEYBAGS was nothing I could have ever expected as far as the storyline went but it definitely was highly entertaining and pretty freaking amazeBALLS!

I don’t know what it is about elevators but I love it when a romance starts between two strangers who get stuck in one together!! This is how Dex and Bianca meet, and it might not have been one of the sexiest scenes I’ve ever read, but it was damn near the funniest!! Bianca is a magazine journalist on her way up to interview one of the wealthiest and most elusive business moguls in NYC. Little does she know that the man with the sexy voice who she is stuck in the elevator with but can’t see since the lights went out, is Dexter Truitt – the star of her magazine article. There is quite a bit of hysterical and pervy banter that transpires between them, but Dex also learns that Bianca is not a huge fan of his for some reason. He decides to keep his identity a secret from her and pretends to be Jay, a man who owns his own bicycle messenger service. When the lights turn back on, there is no denying the strong physical attraction they feel for each other, and soon plans for a date are made.

Dex has his secretary call off his interview with Bianca but later on, he offers her the opportunity to continue with the interview but over text only. She can ask him anything and he’ll provide her with his answers but only if he can ask her questions of his own. With each passing day, Dex is leading a double life and digging himself into a deeper hole with all the lies he has told to cover for his alter ego, Jay. Not only is he in deep, but his feelings for Bianca are intensifying and the fact that she is attracted to Jay, has him growing insanely jealous as well! He knows he has put himself in an impossible situation when he learns that Bianca has trust issues that stem from her father’s betrayal that resulted in her parents’ divorce. She’s not a big fan of lies no matter what the excuse may be.

Bianca was a sweet, sassy, and slightly neurotic Heroine. She gave as good as she got and kept Jay/Dex on his toes. She definitely made him work for her affections! Lies are eventually exposed and Bianca isn’t quick to offer forgiveness to Dex, but the man is beyond sexy, extremely charming, and utterly determined to get back in her good graces. So this is what I thought the main plot of the story was when in fact it was just a tiny piece of the story. Shocking revelations are made that could end up causing irreparable damage and keeping the couple from ever sharing a life together. This is when things got extremely angsty and Dex’s determination to be with Bianca was incredibly heartbreaking!

MISTER MONEYBAGS released a day early!! Go on and one-click!! Get ready to laugh, cry, and fall in love with Dex and his whittling skills! He definitely carved his way into my heart!

MEET BIANCA

 

I sighed audibly. Are we even moving? It was seriously the slowest elevator I’d ever taken. Frustrated, and maybe a bit anxious to get the interview over with, I took another shot at the elevator panel. Again, pressing the button repeatedly, I groaned, “Come on. I’m already freakin’ late.”

I breathed a sigh of relief when the car seemed to finally pick up speed. But then, it jolted to an abrupt stop, and the elevator went pitch black.

“Well now you’ve gone and broken the damn thing,” a deep voice said from behind me. Startled, I jumped and bobbled my cell phone in the dark, which resulted in it falling. From the sound of it smashing against the floor, I knew it had broken.

“Shit! Look what you made me do.” I bent over and patted the floor, but I couldn’t find it. “Can you at least give me some light so I can find my phone?”

“It would be my pleasure.”

“Thank you,” I huffed.

“If I had a cell phone on me.”

“Are you kidding? You don’t have a cell phone on you? Who walks around without their cell phone?”

“Maybe you should try it. If you weren’t so obsessed with yours, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.”

I stood, and my hands went to my hips. “How so?”

“Well, you were so busy typing away on your phone, you didn’t even notice another passenger was in the car with you.”

“And?”

“Had you seen me, you wouldn’t have jumped hearing my voice and broken your phone. Then we would have had light, and you would be able to see that elevator panel well enough to push that button another twenty or thirty times. I’m sure that would’ve helped.”

I felt the man moving around behind me.

“What are you doing?”

When he answered, his voice came from a different place. It was to my left and beneath me. “I’m on the floor looking for your cell phone.”

It really was pitch dark. I couldn’t see a thing, but I felt the air move, and I knew he must have stood back up.

“Put your hand out.”

“You’re going to put my phone in it, right?”

“No, I’ve taken down my pants and I’m going to stick my dick in it. Christ, you’re really a bitch, aren’t you?”

Thinking he couldn’t see me, I smiled at his sarcasm and put out my hand. “Just give me my phone.”

 

 

 

MEET DEX

 

Wow. My little ball player was quite the fox.

I’d only seen her from the back before the lights went out. Now, I was staring into her beautiful, big brown eyes, feeling like this elevator mishap wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

She cleared her throat. “The lights came back, but we’re still stuck.”

I clicked on some of the buttons. “Seems that way. But this is a step in the right direction. I bet this thing will be moving in no time.”

And by this thing moving, I do not mean my dick, although I could have sworn I felt it twitch when she just licked her beautiful full lips.

Do that again.

Fuck.

She is beautiful.

My eyes travelled down the length of her body then back up again, loving how the small buttons on her conservative blouse formed a path up to her delicate neck. I wouldn’t have minded sucking on that skin.

Maybe I could entice her to play hooky with me.

“Where are you headed once we get out of here?” I asked.

“The thirty-fourth floor,” she said.

What?

What is she doing going up to my floor?

I know she doesn’t work for me. I would have remembered that face, those eyes.

“What kind of business you have going on up there?”

“I actually have the pleasure of interviewing Mister Moneybags himself.”

My stomach sank.

Ohhhh.

This didn’t bode well for me.

I swallowed then cocked my head to the side and played dumb. “Who?”

“The elusive Dexter Truitt. He’s the CEO of Montague Enterprises. They occupy the entire top floor.”

Trying to seem like I was not seriously about to lose my shit, I asked, “Why do you call him Mister Moneybags?”

“I just picture him to be this crabby, money-hungry asshole, I guess. Sounds like a fitting name. Of course, I don’t actually know him.”

“Why do you think that way about him, then?”

“I have my reasons.”

COVER REVEAL – MISTER MONEYBAGS by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

 

New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Authors Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward have teamed up once again to bring you another chance meeting, another Cocky Bastard who will charm his way into your heart on April 10th, 2017.

IMG_5273I met Bianca in an elevator.

She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.

The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.

She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.

Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn’t appreciate the simple things in life.

So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn’t want it to end.

I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.

I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.

I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.

I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.

And she was falling for two men.

Only, both men were me.

And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.

Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for what came after.

All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

REVIEW BLITZ – MACK DADDY by Penelope Ward

mack daddy available

 

 

 

pwmackdaddybookcover5x8_bw_high-fixedFrom New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a sexy, STANDALONE second-chance romance.

They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?

So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.

At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.

Everyone wanted a piece of the hot single father of the sweet little boy.

I was riddled with jealousy, because they didn’t know that—to me—he was much more.

They didn’t know about our past.

He’d chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business.

As my friend Lorelai so eloquently put it: “Unfinished business between two people who are clearly attracted to each other is like an eternal case of blue balls.” And I was suffering in pain from my case.

I was still intensely attracted to Mack. I tried to resist him, immersing myself further into a relationship with another man just to protect my heart.

Not to mention, getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking me down.

And soon I might be breaking all the rules.

Author’s note – Told in alternating points of view, Mack Daddy is a full-length standalone novel.

REVIEW – MACK DADDY by Penelope Ward

SYNOPSIS

From New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a sexy, STANDALONE second-chance romance.

They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie.

Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?
So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.

At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.
Everyone wanted a piece of the hot single father of the sweet little boy. I was riddled with jealousy, because they didn’t know that—to me—he was much more.
They didn’t know about our past.
He’d chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business.

As my friend Lorelai so eloquently put it: “Unfinished business between two people who are clearly attracted to each other is like an eternal case of blue balls.” And I was suffering in pain from my case.

I was still intensely attracted to Mack. I tried to resist him, immersing myself further into a relationship with another man just to protect my heart.
Not to mention, getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking me down.

And soon I might be breaking all the rules.

*****Mel’s Review*****

4 Stars!

21956968-_sy540_

Francesca O’Hara aka Frankie is a teacher at a catholic private school in Boston named St. Matthew’s. She’s looking forward to starting the new year until her whole world is turned upside down by a man from her past. Frankie hasn’t seen Mack since he broke her heart about eight years ago. They were roommates in college. Best friends who slowly fell in love. He was the first man to ever make her feel special, but the one man she could never have. She longed for & fantasized about Mack for years, but their timing was never right. Life got in the way, and he left Boston and crushed Frankie in the process.

Mackenzie Morrison aka Mack is an involved father who wants the very best for his son. He feels the best is St. Matthew’s & Frankie. He chooses the school & Frankie specifically for Jonah. He also wants to see Frankie again. They gave unfinished business, & he’s never been able to get over her. He wants her in his life & is determined to win her back. He’s got nothing to lose & he’s going for it.

-My physical reaction to him was certainly one thing that hadn’t changed a bit. I had no clue how I was going to survive this year.

-Mack still had the ability to take my breath away.

-I’m here for you, Frankie. I’m here to finish what I started years ago.

-I was extremely attracted to her brain, to her heart, to just being with her, to how she made me feel.

-When I’m with you… I’m Mack. I feel like myself. When you look at me, you remind me of who I am, who I want to be.

Mack makes it clear he wants Frankie. She’s in a relationship & tries to resist him, but seeing him every day is slowly breaking down her walls. He wants a second chance, but can she risk him breaking her heart all over again. She also has to deal with the fact that getting involved with a parent is against school rules. They share such a history that eventually their intense attraction & connection are too much to deny. We get a lot of angst, a hot single dad all the mom’s want, & a beautiful second chance romance.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FOUR STARS*****

She was the one. Our time together seemed to flash before my eyes, all of our many conversations, ranging from our deepest thoughts and hang-ups to the strange and funny. It was her. It had always been her.

 

hes-back

I wasn’t sure what to think about this book when I first started it. The very first meeting between the main characters was one of the most embarrassing and funny moments I’ve ever come across in a book, but then we learn that the Hero has been in a relationship with another woman for several years. I’ve never been one to steer clear of stories with cheating or love triangles in them before, but for some reason, it bothered me in this one. HOWEVER, as I proceeded on with the book, it really is a story that contains a couple of my favorite tropes – ”Friends-to-Lovers” and “Second Chance Romance”, and honestly it is nearly impossible not to fall head over heels in love with the H & h! I hope that you, too, will fall in love and root for Mack and Frankie to find their HEA!!

 

Mack and Frankie meet when they become roommates while attending college. Frankie is working on her bachelor’s degree in child education and Mack is finishing up his last year in Graduate school. Their first encounter ends up being some of Frankie’s most mortifying moments but these two form a fast friendship and soon deep feelings develop between them. They keep things platonic as neither of them condones cheating. But as the time approaches for Mack to move out and head back to D.C., they both can no longer deny their true feelings for each other. So the plan is to clean up loose ends back home and then come back to Frankie as a free man. If only life hadn’t gotten in the way of their dreams!!

 

About seven years later, Frankie is a first-grade teacher and on the first day of the semester, there’s a new student in her class whose father happens to be a blast from the past! This is no happy coincidence. Mack purposely chose the school Frankie works at to enroll his son in hopes of pursuing what he knows was the one true love of his life. Sadly, now it’s Frankie who isn’t free to give their love a second try. She’s in a committed relationship with an older man who gives her love and stability. For once she feels safe and there’s no chance of getting her heart broken again.

 

jeans-teaser

 

Feelings from the past will prove to be hard to get over. As Mack makes his intentions clear to Frankie, she will start to question everything in her life. I had a hard time at first with Frankie’s indecision about the situation but if you are a fan of Penelope Ward, you know that she has a plan and that there will be a twist that will ease all your trepidations about the other people who seem to pose as complications for the main characters.

 

When Mack and Frankie finally get through all the BS, it’s nearly impossible not to root for these two to finally have their fairy tale ending. It becomes all too clear that they were always meant to be and you’ll end up with a huge smile on your face by the time you reach the end.

He’d chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business.

As my friend Lorelai so eloquently put it: “Unfinished business between two people who are clearly attracted to each other is like an eternal case of blue balls.” And I was suffering in pain from my case.

I was still intensely attracted to Mack. I tried to resist him, immersing myself further into a relationship with another man just to protect my heart.

Not to mention, getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking me down.

And soon I might be breaking all the rules.

Author’s note – Told in alternating points of view, Mack Daddy is a full-length standalone novel.

pwmackdaddybookcover5x8_bw_high-fixedFrom New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a sexy, STANDALONE second-chance romance.

They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?

So was he: perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.

At the private school where I taught, Mack Morrison was the only man around in a sea of women.

Everyone wanted a piece of the hot single father of the sweet little boy.

I was riddled with jealousy, because they didn’t know that—to me—he was much more.

They didn’t know about our past.

He’d chosen my school for his son on purpose, because Mack and I, we had unfinished business.

MACK DADDY EXCERPT

Copyright © 2016 by

Penelope Ward

 

It was the evening of our monthly PTO meeting. On the agenda was to designate the volunteers for several fundraisers that would take place in the spring.

Setting up the refreshments and a coffee urn in the hallway outside of the classroom, I couldn’t wait to get this over with so that I could go home, get into my pajamas, and relax. It was always exhausting to have evening commitments when the workday ran so late to begin with.

A deep voice from behind startled me. “A keg would be much more fun, wouldn’t it?”

I turned around to find Mack standing there, holding a box of chocolate chip cookies from the supermarket.

“What are you doing here?”

He placed the cookies on the table. “This is the parent and teachers meeting, isn’t it?”

“Yes, but…” I hesitated, not even knowing what to say.

He finished my sentence. “But I’m not supposed to be included in that group?” Mack snapped his finger. “Oh, I’m sorry. I thought PTO stood for ‘pissing teacher off.’ My bad.”

“Well, if that were the case, you might be in the right place.”

“This is the right place for me tonight.”

“This meeting is for serious participants.”

“I’m serious about the teacher. Does that count?”

“No.”

“Actually, in all seriousness, I’d also like to help. It’s the least I can do after crashing your school year. I really would like to be as involved as I can in Jonah’s education. That’s the truth, okay? Getting to spend time with you is an added benefit.”

What could I say? He had just as much right to be here as anyone else.

“Just be aware that this isn’t the right place to be joking around or distracting the other attendees, for that matter.”

“I don’t plan on distracting anyone but you.”

“Yeah, well you have quite the fan base here. We have a very strict agenda to adhere to.”

He moved in closer and just stared me down for a bit. The contact caused my skin to prickle and my nipples to harden. “Don’t worry,” he said as he looked down, seeming to notice that my nipples were piercing through the fabric of my shirt. “Your points are well noted, Miss O’Hara.” He wriggled his brows. “I’ll see you inside.”

I hated that he knew he was having an effect on me. If my body had this kind of response now, what would have happened if he’d actually done more? Spontaneous impregnation? Some things just never change, and my reaction to this man was an example of that.

A long table sat in the middle of the spare classroom where we held the meeting. There wasn’t a single man in the room besides Mack. He was like the centerpiece.

I took my seat at the end of the table. “So, shall we get started?” Looking down at my list, I said, “First on the agenda is the book fair. We need to elect someone to be in charge of it and coordinate the volunteers.”

Mack raised his hand.

“Yes?” I asked.

“That sounds like it’s right down my alley. I’d like to volunteer to run the book fair.”

“What makes you want that task? It’s a lot of responsibility.”

He thought about it for a moment then said, “I write children’s books. I think I’d be a perfect fit.”

“That’s a good point,” one of the women said. “He might be the perfect fit.”

I’m sure you’re thinking he’d be the perfect fit, alright…in your vagina.

“Okay…but I hope you know that there is a tremendous amount of work that goes into organizing that particular event. It takes place over the course of an entire weekend. You have to place orders with the bookseller, do inventory, delegate tasks, and arrange for an onsite food vendor because many people just come for the food. Ultimately, the food is the bait.”

“I can bait people. I’m a master baiter.” He paused. “I mean…I can handle it. I’ll get a shitload of people to sign up.”

An attending nun gave him a dirty look for his use of foul language.

He cleared his throat, seeming to regret his choice of terminology. “I’ll get people to attend. Don’t worry.”

“I’ll put your name down as a possibility. We’ll take a vote at the end.”

“Thank you.”

Looking around the room, I asked, “Is there anyone else here who is interested in taking the reigns on the book fair?”

Not a single person budged.

One woman said, “No, but I’ll be happy to help Mack with whatever he needs.”

I’m sure you will.

Mack nodded then offered a smug smile. “Thank you.” He then took a bite of his cookie and winked at me.
