Ace

Las Vegas Bad Boys, Book 1

De: Frankie Love

Narrado por: Joe Arden, Maxine Mitchell

I don't take women to bed. I take them against the wall, hard and fast, and when I come I make sure they remember. They always do. I'm cocky as hell, I've got reason to be. I own Spades Royalle, the sexiest casino in Vegas. F - k, the sexiest casino in the country. I'm gonna keep building my empire all on my own - my ties with the mafia are in my past, buried with the bones of my family. I like my money clean and my women dirty. That is until I met Emmy Rose. She says she doesn't want a bad boy. I guess I'll have to change her pretty little mind.

I made one rule when I moved to Vegas two months ago - I would not screw bad boys. Or asshats. Or really anyone I met on the casino floor. And the thing is, I've made good on my promise. I'm here for one reason, and one reason only: it's a f - king job. Landing in Vegas was never my plan. But plans change when your sister is in a coma and you don't know who put her there. If only she'd wake up and I could get some answers. Until then, I'll do everything in my power to avoid men who have a past as shady as my own.

This book contains a helluva lot of chemistry and smokin' hot sex. Just be prepared, babycakes. And don't say I didn't warn you.

SHE ACED IT WITH THIS HOT ROLLER-COASTER RIDE

Ace is a handsome sexy Casino owner.. however that's not his real name coz this bad boy's bloodied roots comes from Mafia men - he's left that life far behind him and has cleaned up his act.. but he's still a bossy alpha. Ace is loving his life of 15 minute quickie hookups in deserted hallways taking his pick from the beautiful bevy of women who works or plays in his Casino.. and one night he chooses a leggy Cocktail Waitress that's taken his fancy.. only the feisty female quickly rejects his advances and casually dismisses him. This cocky self-assured 27 yr old bad boy has never heard the word "no" before and that intrigues the hell out of him.. and later he will meet her again.. later he will thoroughly f'k her.. later he will become obsessed with her.. later he will fall hopelessly in love with her.. and later he will save her life.. as well as her soul.

Emmy Rose has put her 22 yr old life on hold and has come to Vegas because her estranged sister is in a coma and if Emmy isn't working then she's by her sister's bedside clutching on to a lifeless hand.. and hope. She hasn't got time for men or distractions - but when one such droolworthy distraction approaches her (with a look that promised much more) Emmy is very very tempted. Unfortunately for her all too willing libido, Emmy is on the clock and needs to keep her well paying job so she brushes the sexy stranger off.. and later she'll meet him again at a high stakes game.. later she won't say no.. later she'll learn his name.. later there will be passion-fuelled mind blowing sex.. and later she will be swept off her feet. But later there will be shocks that'll shake her world, secrets that'll need to be uncovered, twists that'll leave her reeling, a kidnapping that'll put her life in danger, her sister will wake with one name on her lips.. and Emmy Rose will have to learn to trust.. as well as love.

Right from the start this shamelessly arrogant stubborn bad boy charmed me and, as the chapters flew by, he wowed and wooed me too with his caring ways, his determination, his tenderness and his sweet sweet heart that wouldn't give up and wouldn't let go. Emmy was a bit erratic with her emotions after all she'd been through in her life and she needed someone strong to hope with, change for and trust. The getting there wouldn't be an easy journey though and, at times, she p'd me off because of her wish-washy attitude towards Ace. Lots of sweaty needy sex because these two were like rabbits, passion, promises, angst, drama from Ace's greedy dangerous nemesis and both the h/h had a tight group of supportive loveable friends. It was insta most things, as well as fictional fantasy.. and I ate every morsel up because, for me, it was continually compelling, deliciously developed and temptingly told. Perfect narration once again from Joe and Maxine who both know how to bring stories to life and make them pop.

Worth a credit? Yes it definitely would've been - but this little temptation was just under $10 so I just bought it and I'll use my credit on a higher priced listen.. which may not be as enjoyable, as entertaining and as addictive as this one was. A dual POV storyline where a broken woman meets a damaged man who picks up her pieces, cherishes each one, holds her and them tight.. and never ever lets go. Now I'm happily moving on to English bad boy Landon's story.

Great Start for series!!!!!!

Great start to a new series. Can't wait for the next one. I love Joe and Maxine as narrators.

Deal me in.

Yes, yes, yes!!! You got to love a book that has an awesome sex scene in the first couple of chapters. If you don’t than this book is not for you. Enjoy.

Hot, Hot, Hot

This is a well thought out story. The characters well developed, and intrigueing. Not one boring part..... Look forward to reading rest of series. Well written. Could you include an Ace for me ?????? If only to look at ??

loved it

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

3.5 Stars Things I liked and things I didn't

This book had its up and downs. I really wished the author had a thesaurus I got so tired of hearing the word PU***. It wasn't enough to make me stop listening although toward the end I swear it was like every other word. I love Maxine Mitchell as a narrator and if it wasn't for her I might not be heading to the next in the series.

There is a story and it's not just about sex. You have a YW moved to Vegas when her sister ends up in a coma. As the story progresses we find out if her sister will wake up or if they will pull the plug.

Then you have the ego bad boy Ace who owns the casino she works at. When he sees her he thinks a quick romp will satisfy his hungry but he slowly gets thrown in the web of the sisters and what happened the night Jamie went into a coma.

I bought the second book because I like hearing a story to the end. And hoping that this is one that gets better as we go and opened into a new vegas bad boy.

Porn

All the scene is all about screwing, hey , got kidnap but have sex first to take the edge off before reporting to the police. Who does that.

Really not worth the credit

Would you try another book from Frankie Love and/or Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell ?

Probably not, although the book was average I think for a reader you require basic stories like this to have some real interest or twists however this is fairly average. For me to wish to listen to another book it would have to be free.

What does Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Narration was good

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Ah this movie couldn't be rated for public viewing.

Any additional comments?

I would probably read the next in the series if its cheap.

Family Is A Choice

From the first moment Ace and Emmy met sparks ignited the air between them. And that instant attraction is the pull that kept me voraciously listening to this book. These two got every room they were in hot and steamy. They each have family issues that play into the plot and draw them to each other. There were so many interesting things going on that even with all of the hot sex between Ace and Emmy you had to really pay attention to keep up with the subplots and other relationships. I'm looking forward to the stories of the other bad boys. This is my first book by Frankie Love and I have already purchased the second book in this series.

Joe and Maxine did an amazing job narrating this book. It was a very enjoyable listen for me. I sincerely hope they are narrating other books in this series.

Definitely worth a credit and multiple listens. Can't wait to listen to the other books in this series.
