Description

A sexy new standalone contemporary romance from New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

It started as a game.
We flirted. We played. Most importantly—we won. 
Then I discovered who he was: Gambler. Famous playboy. Silver-eyed player who never plays to lose.
…And my best friend’s soon-to-be brother in law, Cullen Carmichael.
He needed a good luck charm, I needed a distraction.
So we made a gamble and set off  for Vegas—but pretty soon—I was in too deep.
My heart, soul, and body weren't supposed to be part of the deal.
But somewhere between big wins and long nights, my house of cards started to tumble.  
What was this devil with those piercing eyes doing to me?
I’d given up on love, but the wicked, all-in Cullen Carmichael was upping the ante and wouldn’t stop until he’d won it all.

    I have loved following this group of friends. This book kept me on edge with all the sexy times and steamy scenes. Cullen and Wynn start off as a bet but it goes from a fun trip to Vegas to falling in love. This book was a complete change of pace for me. It was great to read a story where the male character is so sure of himself, not afraid of his responsibilities, and spoils his woman. This story is refreshing and sexy. Totally would recommend to anyone.

    In both his personal and professional life, Cullen Carmichael is the ultimate player, so it doesn’t come as a surprise when he wins a beautiful woman in a bet, even if she was with another guy, but what is surprising is when Cullen invites his good luck charm to go with him to Las Vegas - a place where the stakes are even higher and the ultimate prize might just be the one thing neither of them had thought they wanted. Uncharacteristically, Wynn Watson takes a chance and agrees to head to Sin City with her best friend’s soon-to-be brother-in-law, Cullen, notorious playboy, gambler, and bet winner. Wynn doesn’t see her decision as that much of a risk because she plans to guard her heart, and the trip allows her to have fun and let loose, which since her breakup, she hasn’t felt like doing. Who would have thought, though, that the playboy would want to do anything but ‘play,’ forcing Wynn to go all in or fold and give up what might be the greatest and most fulfilling risk of her life. I’m a huge fan of Katy Evans’ Manwhore Series, especially when she provides readers with insight about previous characters from the series, and while I did feel like Cullen and Wynn’s story was a bit too predictable, it didn’t really take away from my enjoyment because the hero and heroine were incredibly likable and I liked watching them circle around each other and play off how they felt about one another until they could no longer deny their feelings. I also really liked how Cullen treated Wynn, helping her see just how amazing she is and how much she deserves in life and in love and through his words and actions, readers also see just who Cullen is beneath the suave and sexy playboy. Vegas, the setting for most of Playboy, is perfect for the risks Cullen and Wynn are taking, even if the outcome has no way of staying in Vegas due to their responsibilities back home. With Vegas as the backdrop, anything goes and let me tell you, Katy Evans makes sure Cullen and Wynn gamble with more than just money. Playboy is a sweet and sexy ready that has the hero and heroine taking the biggest risks of their lives in a variety of ways, meaning that once these two go all-in, hopefully there won’t be a winner and a loser but two people winning it all. 4 Poison Apples (The Fairest of All Book Reviews)

    Wynn Watson seems to have it all! She's gorgeous, has an amazing career that she loves...well, all except the perfect man & the start of a family. When Prof Poker player Cullen Carmichael steps onto her radar, she's intrigued. He's so gorgeous and holds her attention more than any man has in a long while! The ladies call him Playboy and she can see why... Could Wynn be his new lucky charm! Traveling together and betting Cullen is either her smartest move or most dangerous! This book is filled with so much heat, passion, complexity and is so sexy! Katy Evans is one of my must click authors & I loved Playboy!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ For this amazing author & series! Highly recommend!

    Fabulous. This story surprised me several times as I got to experience Wynn and Cullen, an unlikely pair. Wynn has given up on ever finding the one. She has been in several relationships and the last one, well, sort of shattered her when Emmett just let her go. Now, there is more to the story which is gut wrenching for Wynn. When she ends up at an underground poker game and is ‘sold’ as part of the bet to Playboy, well, she feels she’s hit the all-time low. Of course, she didn’t recognize Playboy as her best friend’s brother-in-law, Cullen. Cullen is a professional gambler and everyone sees him as a ‘player’ in all areas of his life. His fascination with Wynn, his new luck, is all consuming but Wynn needs a distraction so when they make a bet, she goes with him to Vegas. There are so many layers to this romance that starts out as a fling based on a crazy bet. I loved that they both really want love in their lives but have struggled to find it. There is a beautiful freedom and joy when they are together that was fun to experience. But the ultimate is when Cullen gives Wynn what she truly desires and doesn’t believe she will ever have, that was pure magic.
  • Sizzling hot!

    I was really taken with Wynn and Cullen's story. Wynn's name and Cullen's occupation couldn't have been better suited for one another. Brilliant planning Ms. Evans! Love it! Wynn was not a one-night stand girl, but something about Cullen called to her. She thought she knew what she was getting into when she made a bet with the Playboy, but little did she know that she was making a bet of a lifetime! Cullen didn't do relationships. His life was solely focused on the next big game and his winnings. He had been burned in relationships before and didn't care to repeat the hurt. When he meets Wynn, he can't get her out of his mind. He patiently bides his time until he gets his shot. This story really spoke to me. Cullen was a playboy, but yet has a vulnerability to him. Wynn believed herself to be damaged goods and really didn't think anyone would want a relationship with her. These two perfectly flawed people were absolutely perfect for one another. I truly enjoyed their story as they found their way to each other. Great read!

    It’s all about the thrill of the game. Playboy is so addicting, you won’t be able to put it down. Cullen Is a force to be reckoned with, that dude is all man. I think I need some poker lessons in the very near future.

    Out-freaking-standing This story...gah so good! Cullen and Wynn are a perfect fit. The back and forth banter, humor, self doubt and phenomenal sexy-time made this a true page turner. The descriptive writing and well developed characters worked me over so hard today. I literally had to read it in one sitting. Tears and laughter along with life’s disappointments were beautifully tackled and made this book that much sweeter. I’m always so nervous just before reading a Katy Evans book. Will she ever be able to top her last words of art? Will I be able to love these characters as much as all her others? Yes. Yes. Yes. OMG YES! Genius writing! Fantastic chapter titles! Simply the best! Awesomeness from beginning to end. This is a must read!
