He’s the quiet brooding guy who’s
owned my heart since I was sixteen but has refused to claim it.
I’m the naïve woman who believes that someday our time will come.
I just didn’t realize that someday would include waking up in Vegas with a raging hangover and a ring on my finger.
If we believed in fate, maybe one of us would’ve trusted that something more powerful than ourselves interceded because our love is one of tangled vines. As twisted and frayed as they’ve become over the years, they’ve never broken.
An annulment seemed like the easy way out. We should’ve known it wouldn’t be fate that intervened, but our Italian Mamas. They can deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the guilt.

My Review
Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. Our goal is to bring you romance stories that have "Heartwarming Humor With a Side of Sizzle" (okay...you caught us, that's our tagline). A little about us... We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes and quirky heroines that make us laugh, and we hope you do, too.

This is one of those times where the characters annoyed me almost as much as I loved them. Val and Dom were both so scared to put themselves out there and be hurt that they both kept hurting themselves and each other.
And while I understood it and their relationship was extremely complicated, I really wanted to smack them both in the head and tell them to use their big people words and sort it all out.
But Dom is a Mancini and with that comes all the meddling family to sort him out and make sure he does everything he should ……. Thank god or I might have had to throw my kindle.
The chemistry was hot, the family was awesome. I really need a Lulu of my own. And I can't wait to see what is up with Blanca.
He’s the arrogant Manhattan
realtor with billboards advertising his six-pack more than his expertise in
negotiations.
I’m the competing broker who stupidly moved across the hall from his office.
From day one, I’ve been his sworn enemy. Okay, so I might have accidentally stolen one of his clients. Well, is it stealing if the client comes to me?
Even our vicious banter and loathing gazes can’t hide the chemistry between us. Who can blame me? He has enough charisma to make every hot-blooded woman in the city melt with a single word.
Just when I think a mutual respect could be born between us, the biggest developer in the city offers us an opportunity that pits us against each other.
Time to forget Carmelo Mancini’s dreamy eyes and tight abs.
Game on.

Where do I even start to review this book?
I guess it all starts with Piper Rayne. If you've read them before you're probably already a fan and if you haven't I can honestly say there isn't any one book to start with. All of their books rock. They have great characters, both leading and secondary and they know how to write romance.
So this is the second book in the White Collar Brothers series and although it can be read as a standalone I loved knowing the story of Annie and Enzo. And I really loved that they were such a part of this story.
Carm was exactly what I expected him to be at the start and I kind of went back and forth on him. I wanted him to fall hard with a bang. And he kind of did but as always I wanted a little more.
Bella was perfect for Carm but I wanted her to get more in general. Her mum sucked and I really wanted her to get her head out of her arse. Luckily for Bella I have no doubt mama Mancini will love her but it sucks we didn't get to see it.
And although I loved the epilogue it has left me obsessed with Dom and I can't wait to get my grabby hands on it. And I love that it looks like we will get a whole lot more of Carm and Enzo.
He’s the sexy alpha male in the corner office who goes through assistants faster than free donuts in the breakroom.
I’m the assistant who was chosen to cover for his last fire.
The owner of the company is clear—hook the biggest client in our firm’s history and there’s a partnership for him and a promotion for me. Stipulation—we do it together.
It doesn’t take a tarot card-reading psychic to figure out where our story is headed… late nights, trips out of town, and more than a few awkward moments filled with sexual tension.
No worries though. I pride myself on my willpower. I can totally ignore his sexy grin, his rock-hard body and his dreamy brown eyes. I will not become the woman other women hate.
But it turns out that Enzo Mancini has a lot of layers and if I don’t stop peeling, I’m going to lose everything, including my dignity.
The title speaks for itself! Don’t miss this sexy OFFICE ROMANCE romantic comedy coming June 11th!

My Review
Excerpt
“Please. Come on, Mr. Mancini.”
Even I notice how weird that sounds coming from her mouth now that
our working relationship has turned into more of a tenuous friendship. “Enzo.”
“If I call you Enzo, can I pay my share?” She bats her eyes a few
times.
I twist my lips, thinking about it. The taxi driver huffs, annoyed
that we’re holding him up. “Sure.”
“Please, Enzo?” she says, stressing both words.
The sound of her voice saying my name like that spurs images of
her naked on my bed, begging me to fuck her. Her back arched, her delectable
tits prominently on display with her legs spread. I shift in my seat to hide my
growing hard-on.
She drops the forty dollars onto my lap and opens the door,
leaving before I come back to myself. I lift the forty off my half chub,
concocting a plan to get this back to her without her knowing it.
Her voice rings in my head one more time. Please, Enzo?
I might as well admit defeat. Tonight my dreams will be filled
with me, Annie Stewart, and the word please.

I am pretty sure this is one of those times I should have paid more attention to the sign up before I fangirled over the fact it's a new Piper Rayne book and jumped in with my eyes closed. Because office romance is one of my least favourite tropes, so I started reading then went off to GoodReads to find out what I was reading.
Luckily for me I love Piper Rayne's writing and characters so I was able to suck it up until about the halfway point where I forgot I disliked office romance and was so invested in the characters. And the side characters. And the story.
Enzo was the perfect leading man for the job. I loved him. He had the whole cocky arsehole thing perfected. And thank God we had this in dual POV because I would have been as confused as Annie about what was going through his head if I had to judge it on his actions alone.
Annie was just as perfect. She knew what she wanted and was determined to work her way there without distractions. But man Enzo was one hell of an unavoidable distraction. And I am loving the brothers. I really can't wait to get to their books. Hopefully Annie and Enzo get plenty of chances to make them sweat too.
