Million Dollar Devil is AMAZING! Katy Evans was going in all the right directions with this book. It is super hot and steamy yet some what subtle loved every single minute of it!

I’ve read other books by this author, so I requested this arc, as the blurb sucked me in.

I don’t know where it went weird but for most of the book it’s just sexual tension, not many feelings until Bam! there they are!

The ending or more like the last 20% was not my favorite. Lizzy was going to give it all up for a hothead she loved. It just didn’t feel right.

I received this ebook copy from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review.

I’ve read this author before so I was excited to read this new story. While I enjoyed this story, it wants my favorite from this author. It took some working up to get me invested, but it turned out to be a fun read.

This is the story of Lizzy and James. Lizzy believes with all her heart that James is the MAN for her and her current needs. She is bound and determined to make him hers; and James… well James loves the chase. Lizzy is a strong and determined woman, who knows what she needs and finds that in James (in more ways than one). James is a little rougher around the edges, but that is what makes him such a fun read (the contrast between these two characters).

It did take a few chapters to really connect with these characters but their connection is undeniable. I loved the chemistry and the heat. Face paced and full of steamy scenes this story is a great escape for any reader. While it is not the most realistic story (there are quite a few unbelievable instances) this story is pure fantasy fiction. Enjoyable, I received an ARC via NetGallery and am leaving an honest review. #NetGallery #MillionDollorDevil

Million Dollar Devil is an amazing and satisfying read. It will have you swooning and falling in love from the very first pages.

Jimmy has left his mark on me. He’s gorgeously sexy and devilishly flirty. There’s no way you can resist him. Heart flutters. Swoon!. He may just be my favorite book boyfriend ever ❤️❤️ and I am not sharing. He’s that good and he’s all mine!

Lizzy, for me, was a harder sell. Although I understood her motivation and reasons, she was a little too harsh. Especially at the end. After everything they had been through, she should have seen beyond and cared less about the superficial. I believe she needed the makeover more than Jimmy ever would.

The angst as well as the push and pull between Jimmy and Lizzy was unbearable. Literally. All I wanted was for them to get it on and work out all that angst. It seems like it took forever but when they did, it was explosive! It couldn’t be anything but!

The story was intriguing while the characters were real and true to who they are.

I received an ARC via NetGalley of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I loved loved this book so much. It was fun and sexy and so steamy. I loved the encounter between the two main characters. This Devil has one dirty mouth.
Katy Evan's books are always a must read for me and this one is no exception. She is one of my always one click authors.

I liked it, but for my taste it was a bit slow.. I love my men alpha, bossy, demanding, possessive. James for my feeling just lets Lizzy walk over him and that's just not fun to read.
I requested this arc because the blurb sounded really good and I was intrigued! It could've been so much more than it now was. I admit it was a unique story, but there were things that didn't add up.

Also the dad is such a hard-ass and then in a sudden move he is understanding and supportive? Just as well as LB that doesn't add up with his character or maybe it's just me. But nobody does such a bad thing and then they all act like it never happened..

The one I really liked in this one is Charlie he is so adorable and smart!

*Also I think there was a mix up near the end because James said something to I think Kim, but in the book he says Jeannie. I think that was a typo*

I absolutely LOVED this book!! I always love Katy Evans but this has to be my favorite. James and Lizzy evolved throughout the book. James realizing that although he wasn’t rich, he had everything he needed with Charlie and his friends and he doing exactly the kind of exciting work he wanted with the “dares.” He never said no to a dare and when Lizzy dared him to become the face of the Banks Ltd new campaign, he couldn’t say no and for $1 million who would. All Lizzy wanted to do was please her father but as the book proceeds, it is so good to see Lizzy let her hair done and just be the person she was always meant to be. Their love was a slow burn but it really gave you a chance to get to know them and what makes them tick. James’ story broke my heart and I loved Charlie and Luke. I will be honest, I did not like Lizzy’s best friend, Jeanine and was surprised that their friendship didn’t end. Jeanine was selfish. The manner in which James declares his love for Lizzy gave me all of the feel good you expect from Katy Evans. And the end was beautifully written. I highly recommend this book!

Oh my god, I seriously can’t even with this book!!! Like every Katy Evans book, it was amazing! It captured me on the first chapter, and that was it, I was hooked. I loved every bit of the story from start to finish, **sigh** Jimmy, I loved his and Lizzy’s chemistry together how you could legit feel the electricity between them. Amazing read and I would highly, HIGHLY recommend reading!! To all you Katy Evans Fans, Yet another fantastic read for you all to devour!!! FYI though, Jimmy—is MINE 😉

I loved Manwhore, Katy Evans’s other romance series, so I jumped on the possibility of reading an ARC for her latest novel. I got about 25% of the way through and I won’t be finishing it. The characters and dialogue simply don’t appeal to me. Not my thing, this one.

I requested the book because the description really captivated me and I have enjoyed most of the Katy Evans books I have read. This book is somewhere in the middle of my personal rankings of Katy's books.

Like all of Katy's books, I really enjoyed the writing style. I also really like James and found myself rooting for things to workout for him. I really didn't like Lizzie, which was a bummer. I had a hard time connecting with her and didn't relate to her at all. This made it hard for me to root for her and it made it REALLY hard for me to root for her and James.

Overall I enjoyed this book and would read it again, but it is not one of my favorites from Katy Evans.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!

It’s been too long since I’ve read a new Katy Evans novel. I just adore her characters and storytelling. I’ll admit that it did take a bit of time for me to connect with James and ELizabeth, but once I did - it all just clicked into place. Once that happened, I couldn’t get enough.

ELizabeth is an heiress with more money than she could do with. Her wants are all at her fingertips. Except the one thing that every little girl wants. Love, affection and pride from her father. In the high society that is her world everything is business. Even her personal life reflects on the family’s company, so she’s spent her entire life striving to be as perfect as possible.

James or Jimmy is nowhere near the level of society ELizabeth comes from. He struggles to put food on the table and keep a roof over his head, but he’s an honorable and good man with all kinds of rugged bad boy vibes that just revs ELizabeth’s motor. Hell, he can rev my motor anytime he’d want. *Le sigh* If only I could pluck him from the pages and mold him to be MY perfect man. I don’t think I’d change a thing.

But that’s what ELizabeth comes to realize. The hoity toity life she’s been around all her life, doesn’t necessarily mean perfect. And for a woman who looks as perfect and put together as she does, her insecurities are few and run quite deep.

The characters shared an immense connection from the start and their story only outlined and demonstrated that no matter what side of town you live on or how much money we have in the bank, mo one is perfect. We can only strive to find the person that is perfect for us.

I just adored this book!

I have enjoyed this author's work in the past, though it has admittedly been a minute since I have picked up one of her books. Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me. I didn't feel the chemistry or connect with the characters and the banter - instead of feeling sparky and playful - felt more...sexual. Straightforward sexual. And, that is a thing that rarely works for me in books. I need to feel something on an emotional level. I need a playfulness that will make me smile and cause my heart to beat faster.

In any case, this one failed to hook me early on, and I was unable to connect with the characters or the storyline to invest enough to finish the book. DNF @ 27%

Million Dollar Devil is Katy Evans newest contemporary Montlake Romance. Million Dollar Devil does check off all the boxes as you are romanced and swooned. Handsome, rugged daredevil man - check. Driven, uptight, professional female needing daddy approval– check.

I loved so many thinks about Million Dollar Devil but I wish it had a bit more. There is banter and funny moments. There are lessons to be learned. And of course there are misunderstandings.

Jimmy Rowan is a YouTube “Daredevil” trying to survive and take care of his younger brother. Elizabeth Banks (Lizzy) is heir to Banks LTD and hopeful future CEO. But, it is a man’s world and even though she is the only heir…it is a man’s world. At least according to her dad. She tries to get her daddy’s approval while having roadblocks thrown at her.

Lizzy herself is snobby and assuming in the beginning. She discovers Jimmy in a rundown bar and the chemistry is there from the beginning. There is push and pull as they fight the attraction they have toward one another.

"He’s just a dirty, sweet-talking guy from the street."

Lizzy attempts to make Jimmy the face of Banks LTD new line of designer suits. So she sets out to create the ideal, rugged, successful man- or image of a man. As they work together to create his image they create other things as well. Hot hot chemistry that basically explodes.

I love Katy Evans and love her writing. I am a huge fan! Million Dollar Devil was a few dollars short for me but may be enjoyable for others. The story is slightly different than Katy’s Indie books. It seems as though her Indie books are an outlet of creativity without limit. I will not let this discourage me! I look forward to reading more of Katy Evans in the future!

3.5 stars

I think this might be my new favorite book from this author! the story and the characters just blew me away!

No real rating-
I have appreciated this author's work in the past and unfortunately, this book did not live up to my past experiences.
I know she will do others which will work better.

Another great read from Katy with a bit of a twist as the heroine is the powerful rich woman and the hero is the poor struggling but gorgeous guy. It is more often the reverse in Katy's books.

Lizzy is heiress to her Father's fashion company, but she wants to become it's CEO when her Father retires. Unfortunately no matter how hard she works to be the perfect daughter her Father refuses to recognise her talents and thinks that she should be occupied doing "women's work" rather than working in his company. Finally he agrees to give her the opportunity to launch their best ever clothing line.

Lizzy meets with her list of successful businessmen who she is hoping to hire to model the clothes but finds that none of them are interested. After leaving her last meeting she needs a drink and finds herself in front of a seedy bar in a not so nice part of town. There she meets daredevil Jimmy Rowan who will do anything for a paid dare. Lizzy is totally spellbound with him and decides to make him an offer he cant refuse, to be the face of the new Banks line.

This is a fun romp that is hot and sexy as Lizzy tries to make this rough guy into a perfect and stunningly hot model. It is really hilarious as James fights with her over being shaved and being made over but still mostly does as she says while at the same time trying to get her into bed. Although James is not the kind of guy she has dated before she is having a hard time keeping her hands off him and remaining professional.

These two obviously have feeling for each other, but will Lizzie go against her Father's wishes and fall in love with this rough diamond? and will the transformed James want her once he has had a taste of fame. You have to finish this book to find out.

As with all Katy's books I really enjoyed reading this one and highly recommend it.

Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!
Katy Evans never ceases to amaze me. She out does herself with every book she writes. I have been a HUGE fan of her work since first meeting The Remington Tate, in Real, and I have loved her ever since.

After being in a book slump for so long, reading Million Dollar Devil was like a breath of fresh air. I couldn’t have put this book down even if I wanted to. So brilliantly written and captivating, I was glued to the pages.

Million Dollar Devil is easily one of the greatest books I have had the pleasure of reading. It has quickly become a favourite of mine, and has earned it spot in the top best reads this year. Well done Katy!!

Like with all Katy’s characters, the chemistry was there in full force. My heart felt like it was pounding out of my chest from the angst, and oh...how I LOVE the angst. Nobody does it better.

5 ++++ STAR REVIEW FOR MILLION DOLLAR DEVIL 😈
Author Katy Evans

ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve been a huge Katy Evans fan since the release of her Manwhore series - so I was so thrilled that NG & Montlake Romance gave me the opportunity to review this outstanding read.

Let’s start with the cover which for me is always a big draw. As a reader it’s one of the first things that really grabs your attention as well as the brief synopsis. I will say this cover model is Jimmy / James Rowan. The simplicity of the black & white photo & book title “ in Devil red “ no less is perfection !

This is the story of Elizabeth ( Lizzy ) Banks heiress to the Banks LTD fortune. Dutiful daughter always searching for her strict father’s approval & she desperately wants this when she is put in charge to launch their brands new men’s ware division. Ultimately her goal is to become CEO of the company when her father retires. So being put in charge of this major endeavor will have a HUGE impact on her career.

Lizzy is striking out big time trying to find a new fresh face for their clothing line when she literally stumbles into Tim’s Bar where she finds “the one” in Jimmy Rowan YouTube sensation ( he’ll pretty much do anything for a dare ) Crazy as it sounds she gets the idea that he could be her diamond in the rough - someone to polish to perfection to become the Banks Menswear line new model & spokesperson.

Jimmy will do anything for a dare & he is instantly attracted to Lizzy ! After she ups her offer to 1 Million dollars he can’t say no & so begins this incredible story ! As with most of this authors work you absolutely fall in LOVE with her characters.

JImmy / James Rowan may be far from perfect - but he is perfect for Lizzy!

Amazing read could not put this book down !

HEA guaranteed ❤️ ❤️

******************************************************************************
Confession: I LOVE Katy Evans books! They're sweet, sassy, and everything in between. This book was absolutely no different. I couldn't put it down!

Now, can anyone tell me where I can find a Jimmy Rowan for myself??

I had a hard time believing this story. My first issue was that James and Lizzy were such dissimilar characters, I didn't believe they would have anything in common to sustain a relationship. I did not like how James's diction made him seem like an unintelligent jerk. I also did not believe the plot line. I immediately thought that a good way to go for the suit line was make an ordinary man extraordinary. Why would Lizzy even consider millionaires as models? Lame. Then Lizzy's father did a complete 180 at the end. All of a sudden he was understanding, loving and so proud of her? No thanks...this author is not for me.
