Blurb

I’ll make her the most desired woman in NY…but that means letting her go.

The Agency was always going to choose Piper-Lily’s husband.

Her father’s name opened doors, but he needed the money a good match could bring. Turns out, no amount of money was going to fix the Ponzi scheme he was running. Overnight, Piper-Lily went from my most anticipated client to persona non grata.

But she wasn’t willing to let her father’s mistake ruin her future. Not when she could force her way into my office and offer herself as my little project.

She’ll pretend to be my girlfriend until her value is high enough for an auction.

An auction that includes her first time.

So I’ll move the little princess into my apartment. I’ll take her out and show her off, buy her pretty things to wear.

But when I take them off of her later, I’ll have to keep reminding myself that she isn’t mine. That the lessons I offer will be used to please another man. That there’s a limit to what we can do.

No matter how much she begs for more.

Cruel Offer is the second book in the interconnected standalones Agency Series, an exciting new world from Stella Gray featuring intrigue, angst, top-tier tropes, and spice.

MY REVIEW

When Piper's dad is arrested for financial crimes, it doesn't just affect him, it affects his whole family. Now Piper's homeless, penniless and mostly friendless. Walking up to Nathaniel and brokering a deal with him is like making a deal with the devil, because he's got an agenda behind helping her. Piper knows more than just her virginity is on the line - her heart is going to be broken, but protecting her Nana is more important.


Nathan had a clear agenda in mind when he offered to get Piper ready for the auction. He didn't count on actually developing feelings for her though. So now he's got a choice on his hands - push her away and go through with the auction, or admit to his feelings and allow himself some real happiness.


Nate, Nate, Nate...I will be the first to admit that he wasn't my favorite for most of his and Piper's story. He really was quite cruel, even though he knew he had feelings for Piper. Thank God he took his head out of his ass, because Piper really deserved a man who would not just spoil her, but love her unconditionally. Nate finally came around and I was cheering! For me, Piper is the star of this story though - she's strong, sassy, and has a big, tender heart. She put up with a lot, not just from Nate, but what her father put her through, and she came out the other side stronger than before, with the love of her life by her side.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
