Mister Romance Masters of Love Book 1 edition by Leisa Rayven Contemporary Romance eBooks

Find out what happens when a cynical journalist who doesn't believe in love and romance gets New York's most exclusive escort to lay his charm on thick for an exposé she's writing. MISTER ROMANCE is a sweet and sexy romance with a fantastic tension-filled build-up that I loved but the latter half of the novel felt a bit drawn out and cheesy at times.

Edie is employed at a Buzzfeed-like news outlet, where her brains are underutilized for fluff pieces. She gets one shot at being a featured reporter when her pitch to write an exposé on the famed "Mister Romance" is approved. She has a limited amount of time to find this mystery man and find out all his secrets. As you probably guess, this doesn't go according to plan because the real guy behind the mask is sweet, romantic, and falls head over heels for her. But is this professional liar who's paid by the city's wealthiest women to make them believe their fantasy just putting on a show for her too? Naturally cynical Edie doesn't know.

Leisa Rayven's knack for creating magnetic chemistry between two main leads is on full freaking display here. I really liked seeing Edie's hard exterior start to crack under the Max's swoon-worthy displays of affection and very real emotions. Even I was getting a little hearts in my eyes. Max is super sweet and I loved how he showed how much he cared. If I could take a gander, I'd guess that his love language is giving because he is very much someone who selflessly does things for others. He took care of Edie's grandma's pet duck, took care of Edie when she was sick, and always made she she felt comfortable and cared for. How sweet is that?

I love feeling the slow burn in romances and this book has that in spades, which I enjoyed! Edie and Max also have some great banter and dialogue that just made me enjoy their scenes together even more!
"You hate how much you're feeling for me, don't you?" he asks, his smile spreading.
"God, so much! It was just never in my life plan to feel like this."

But like many contemporary romances, once the couples get together there is always some sort of conflict that happens to create tension. The schtick of Edie being oblivious's to Max's feelings got a little stale. It was painfully obvious that he liked her, so her not noticing for so long and then not believing it when he told her got a tad annoying.

The male-female role reversal here was evident, but rather heavy-handed. Instead of the man being the playboy, we had Edie whose sister made it known that Edie had a revolving door of men every night that she picks up at the same bar. I don't like that blatant narrative in the more "traditional" gender roles and I didn't dig it here either.

The ending was cheesy. I personally don't like an exorbitant amount of fromage in my romances—I'm okay with a touch of cheese but I have my limits. So if you're like me, you might be rolling your eyes a little bit. But my issues, the book was overall quick romantic escapism and I will definitely be reading the next in the series, Professor Feelgood!

Mister Romance Masters of Love Book 1 edition by Leisa Rayven Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews

This review was originally posted at NDPBookReview.com

Check me into an asylum because I am about to put sticky notes on everyone's FOREHEADS! What's written on said sticky notes, you ask?... 😏

One word Max.

Err. Merr. Gurrd. The delicious conflict! Eden Tate has bestowed upon herself the great challenge of busting Mister Romance (aka Max) and his con. This is no ordinary man, but a man who role-plays and cajoles women into paying $5,000 per dream date. Talk about an actor extraordinaire!

Eden is desperate for a single opportunity at success... Although, success is the last thing she sees in her bleak future because her typical day job consists of writing articles like this

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 2-YEAR-OLD CHAIN SMOKER!

THIS OLD MAN TOOK A BATH AND NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS! WHAT'S HIS SECRET?

Ding ding ding! You guessed correctly! Eden writes click bait. She's destined for more, of course, but until the rumors of Mister Romance flooded her ears she was just a mushroom in the shade of her douche-boss's tree.

Speaking of the douche-boss, he wants to fire Eden. Well, unless she can write him the best exposé known to humankind about this maniac man of love.

Maniac man of love... I like this. Can we share a cell? 😏 #NomDeLOCKMEUP

And this Mister Romance?... An exposé of this magnitude could change Eden's career. Sure, she'd expose him and all his clients, his secrets, and - well - ruin him in the process. Ain't no thang! People do it all the time!

But Max is no con... and especially not with Eden.

"Woah. Never in my life have I seen a man look at me like that. As if the pain I'm feeling is being felt twice over by him... There's no going back from this. Once we've taken this final step I'll be ruined for all other men."

Swoon. Sigh.

Wait, is Max just faking this romantic connection to try and convince Eden she shouldn't publish her article? Because (of course) he knows about the article. Their "arrangement" is completely transparent from the start... but emotions start to blur the lines between right and wrong.

As Eden learns more about Max and the meaning behind his... err-work... she succumbs to her own emotions and feels like maybe she shouldn't write a piece that will destroy him. However, an exclusive exposé is what her boss is expecting.

What's a girl to do?

Well, unfortunately Eden has no idea what to do (which got her in this mess in the first place). But she is not alone because Max, too, is conflicted. Max starts breaking his rules for her. He stops seeing his other clients. He focuses all of his attention on her happiness. Pretty soon he starts looking at Eden like she's the reason the sun rises.

Sounds like love, eh?

"Everything in my life is optional, except you. You're essential..."

Oh yes, this love is raw, primal, and deep. But both Eden and Max are twirling around this limbo of lust, desire, and passion and it's camouflaging their proverbial lines in the sand. Max is a con... right? Eden does not love this man, he's a fake... or is he?

The exposé, the doubt, the conflict. Oooo Leisa Rayven this book is immaculate! Eden transforms from a cynic to someone who believes in romance. Max simultaneously begins to show Eden all sides of his personality, and sets sail to the pain and secrets he has been harboring. There are now no secrets between these two... but did Max open up too soon? After all, Eden's head is - and always has been - orbiting her article. Methinks that for the first time ever, Eden is going to hate doing the one thing she loves writing the truth.

"He stands and pulls me to my feet, and then he cups my face with both hands and kisses me so deeply, I almost believe everything will be ok..."

Leisa Rayven. Staaahp.

I was a sheet of metal in Leisa's hands; bending, folding, flexing. She sculpted me, then flattened me, only to contort me once more.

After being emotionally fatigued from Max and Eden's stresses, I snapped in two. But somehow, someway, Leisa Rayven welded my broken pieces back together so I could withstand the ever growing tension.

I. have. never. read. a. book. like. this.

Every page is a new juxtaposition to untangle. The layers of Max slowly peel away to unveil a brilliantly flawed man with a heart of gold.

Mister Romance caused me so much anguish and I willing walked towards my imminent doom, but right at the point where I was crying in pain, Leisa channeled all of my negative juju into a concentrated prism of hope... and I laughed. I LAUGHED. I ugly-cry-laughed and my heart ached with pure vehemence. I was flipped head over heels and my negative emotions instantaneously became bewilderment, and desire. *snort* Desire for more of this cyclic torture!

Ummm yespleasethankyou!
