The Ultimate Playboy by Maya Blake is the first book in 21st Century Gentleman’s Club series. There are going to be a total of three books in this series as of now and they will be written by three exciting Presents authors. All the interlinked stories revolve around the mysterious and exclusive Q Virtus club where the rich, powerful and passionate come to play!
In The Ultimate Playboy by Maya Banks, Narciso Valentino is finally about to destroy his enemy at the gaming tables of the impossibly exclusive gentleman’s club Q Virtus. But the curvaceous hostess assigned to his table is distracting him in every way possible!
Talented chef Ruby Trevelli manages to get a job as a hostess at the exclusive club to force Narciso to save her business. When she is assigned his table, she cannot wait for the right opportunity to finally save what’s rightfully hers. She does manages to get his attention but soon their professional relationship is overpowered by their mutual powerful chemistry and they began a torrid affair.
Yet beneath that lethally sexy exterior is a tortured man who believes himself beyond redemption, and Ruby is soon facing the ultimate temptation.
The Ultimate Playboy started out great and had a lot of potential. The chemistry between Narcisco and Ruby is definitely hot along with the simmering tension between them in the starting. Narcisco is a ruthless and tortured hero who is out for revenge for the man who made his childhood hell. Ruby has her own set of baggage to deal with and therefore is wary of playboys like Narcisco. I liked her until she walked right into the trap Narcisco’s enemy had set for her and the climax of the story began. The story flows in a smooth manner until the couple part due to misunderstanding and reunite in the end. According to me the misunderstanding angle in the story was way predictable and the ending felt rushed. Apart from the last few chapters, I enjoyed the story.
Overall, The Ultimate Playboy by Maya Banks is a well written romance about how two characters finally leave their insecurities behind to find a HEA. Read this one for the amazing chemistry between the main characters.
