********
I’m Vicky, the dog whisperer. (Not really, but that’s what my elderly neighbor always says.) When she dies, she surprises everybody by leaving a corporation worth billions to her dog, Smuckers. With me as his spokesperson.
Suddenly I go from running my Etsy store to sitting in an elegant Wall Street boardroom with Smuckers in my lap. And my neighbor’s son, Henry Locke, aka New York’s most eligible bachelor, glaring across the table at me.
Rumor has it Henry’s a business genius who’s as talented in the bedroom as he is in the boardroom. Sure, he’s gorgeous. Sex-in-a-seven-thousand dollar suit. But…
He’s arrogant and infuriating.
He refuses to listen to me when I insist I didn’t con his mother.
He thinks he can bully me, buy me off, control me, even seduce me.
Henry may have the women of Manhattan eating out of the palm of his hand, but I'm so over entitled rich guys who think they own the world.
No way will his wicked smile be charming ME out of my panties.
His wicked...devastating...impossible-to-resist smile.
Oh well, who needs panties anyway?

******MY REVIEW****
******MY REVIEW****
Most Eligible Bastard by Annika
Martin is a love story
between a wealthy businessman, Henry Locke; a jewelry designer, Vicky Nelson.
Vicky is surviving and making
her way in New York with her 16 year old sister, Carly. Vicky had fled
to New York, escaping a terrifying moment in her young life and is
hiding with her younger sister, under false identities and documents.
She pretends to be someone she isn’t –which is a dog whisperer as a favor to a
friend and she ends up with one Bernadette Locke as her stalker. This
old lady was downright relentless in her pursuit in wanting Vicky to act as her
little dog Smuckers “dog whisperer”. Finally Vicky gave up and
gave in because she felt so bad for her and started to be her dog whisperer
because she seemed so alone, since she gave the impression she really didn’t have
family that cared for her, including her son who seemingly has abandoned her.
What ends up happening is the old woman dies and leaves her dog in control of Locke
Industries but Vicky will hold guardianship of those shares. Cue the
battle and hostile feelings between Henry and Vicky. Slowly
but surely it seems things start to work out between Henry because he starts to
see the real Vicky, the scared and afraid young woman but there is Brett
who is one of the board members who has his own agenda and is very hostile to
Vicky. Vicky herself has a deep hatred for rich men and I love how the author
showed why she did and how she painted the picture in such detail yet
contrasted how Vicky was overcoming that with Henry. Henry is very
determined to get back his birthright so he does things he think will get him
back what he wants the most yet he comes to realize he could lose the thing he
has come to love the most==Vicky. There is a scene in the book where Vicky
comes to a shattering realization of what has gone on-that she has been played
for a fool and I cried for over 30 minutes because I felt the pain like it had
happened to me. What a phenomenal bit of writing by Ms. Martin. I had to get up
and walk away from my kindle because I wanted to harm Henry and he wasn’t even
a real character. This story was such an emotional rollercoaster with humor and
passion along with heartbreak. It is an enemies to lovers story that takes you from
the lighthearted to the deeply emotional love story with bits of humor , sassy
heroine, jerky hero who redeems himself and a passionate love story. Oh this
story has it all and I have to say, I was never bored, never wanted this story
to end. I would love to see Brett get a story along with Vicky’s sister Carly.
These are some secondary characters that stood out to me as needing a book
written for them.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
“I received an advanced
copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."
