About this listen
Everyone knows not to mix business and pleasure. Don’t they?
Entrepreneur Ryan Michaels never loses. Well, except that time a few years ago when he lost a promotion to spoiled rich girl, Charlotte “Charlie” Ray. Now he’s forced to hire his nemesis to secure funding to develop a string of luxury boutique hotels. Not only does she not fit his corporate vision, but she’s too damn attractive for her own good. And his.
Working as VP of sales and marketing for a luxury hotel is Charlie’s dream job. Too bad her boss is Ryan Michaels, the same pompous stick-in-the-mud that she remembers. If he tells her that this project is his legacy one more time, she might scream. Or maybe kissing him will get him to shut up?
Because that’s the other thing. The sizzling attraction between Ryan and Charlie is impossible to ignore. But everyone knows not to mix business and pleasure. Don’t they?
Hotel King is the first book in award-winning and USA Today best-selling author Claire Marti's new spinoff contemporary romance series, California Suits. The series will follow the adventures of five best friends who are opening a string of luxury boutique hotels from La Jolla to Monterey to Beverly Hills as each one finds true love…usually where he least expects it.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

Story
I was never supposed to see him again. Him being the man wearing the perfectly tailored suit, who oozed an intoxicating mixture of wealth, rebellion, and sex appeal. One night. No strings. No names. Still riding the high from last night, I walk in to meet my new client, and he’s wearing that same dangerous smirk. Yes, I’m consulting for Callahan Sharpe. That Callahan Sharpe. Billionaire heir who abides by no rules, bucks convention, and is determined to complete one final project to honor his late father’s legacy. Luckily, and unluckily for me, I’m tasked to help.

Hockey star Max Yearwood was everything I needed at the time - fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months, since he’d signed with a new team 3,000 miles away. Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right? Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

Story
I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room. You probably assume the concentration on my face is work-related, when in reality, I'm figuring out which I want more: to nail you against the wall, or to bend you over my desk.

Story
Rule number one for having a one-night stand: Don’t fall for the girl. After a lengthy dating slump, I finally met someone who sparked my interest. Well, first the sparks flew when we argued. Later in the evening those sparks ignited into something more. I was drawn to Devyn, in a way I hadn’t felt in a really long time. Needless to say, I was disappointed when she abruptly left after our amazing night together. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. But she hadn’t even given me her number. In a city with eight-million people, I figured I’d never see Devyn again.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

Reasons why I should not be drawn to Troy Serrano. Number one: He’s obnoxious. Number two: We were enemies more than a decade ago. Number three: He’s my friend’s ex-boyfriend. I could go on and on, really. When my boss gives me an unwanted assignment, and tells me it involves spending time with the grandson of one of our residents, the grandson turns out to be Troy. Lucky me. Four hours a week of having to deal with his insufferable personality and unsolicited advice - the only consolation is getting to stare at his annoyingly gorgeous face, in between our many arguments.

Célian Laurent. Manhattan royalty. Notorious playboy. Heir to a media empire...and my new boss. I could have impressed him, if not for last month's unforgettable one-night stand. I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory - namely, his wallet. Now he's staring me down like I'm the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I'm supposed to take it. But the thing about being Judith "Jude" Humphry is I have nothing to lose. Brooklyn girl. Infamously quirky. Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.

I was hanging with the girls, celebrating my divorce, when I saw him - my crush, sitting in the corner of the bar, all alone. Being single and looking for a wild night, I asked him if he wanted to join me. To my delight, he said yes. On paper, it seemed like I had hit the jackpot. And if I wasn't fresh from a toxic marriage, I would have absolutely noticed the finer things about him. But, I wanted nothing to do with being married, so when I arrived back home from my eventful weekend in Vegas, the last thing I expected to see was a new doting husband already moved in.

Second Chances and Surprises
- By Book Bruin on 10-15-19
By: Helena Hunting
Overall, it was an endearing story. You can't help but root for the success of this new hotel and for Ryan and Charlie to find common ground.
The audio version was narrated by Vanessa Edwin who is so great at portraying strong female characters yet show vulnerability. Tim Paige narrates for Ryan and I thought that he did an awesome job at it.

Charlie is thrilled to have been hired as a vice-president of the Hotel Kings group to help with the opening of their flagship hotel. She’s worked so hard for this chance. She’s mystified as to why Ryan hired her since he bucks every suggestion she makes.
The more they work together, the closer they become until the chemistry between them cannot be denied. But when secrets are revealed, will either of them get their dream?
Tim Paige and Vanessa Edwin do a magnificent job with the narration bringing you into the story, keeping you hanging on for each chapter.

Strong hate to love vibes!!

The first and only time Ryan Michaels lost at something or in this case to someone he never let it go. Now, years later he is still holding on that grudge and is about to come face to face with the woman he lost to. Charlie Ray is nothing like the woman he remembered from all those years ago. He always remembers her being objectively beautiful but now there is a spark there he is feeling for her that was never there before. Ryan just hopes that he can keep his feelings to himself before their already complicated working relationship gets even worse.
Charlie Ray has worked her whole life for this position, and she is not going to let some guy with a grudge stop her from achieving her goals. The chip on Ryan's shoulder seems even bigger now than it did all those years ago but there is also something else there too. It's as if he isn't being completely honest with her and when he starts to let his guard down it goes right back up. Charlie doesn't care how hot this man is he will not get under skin. Until one night he does exactly that and they tumble into bed leading to an even bigger complication Charlie never saw coming.
Vanessa Edwin & Tim Paige did such a wonderful job with narration. I've listened to several Vanessa Edwin narrations, and she always takes me back with her male voice because it is surprisingly sexy. This was my first full narration by Tim Paige and the way he did Ryan's voice was very calculated almost like I expected Ryan himself to be.
Hotel King was just an all-around feel-good romance that will have you longing for summer during these blistering cold months.
ADORABLE LITTLE BEACH READ!!

Other managers in the company think he should follow her advice, or at least compromise. Each finds the other attractive and they begin a hot sexual relationship.
The story is well written and the characters are very likeable. There is strong sexual content so I recommend this book for mature readers.
I listened to the audio version of the book. There are two narrators and both do an excellent job.
The author provided me with a copy of the audio book. This is my honest review.

Their relationship starts very strained since she doesn't understand why he recruited her if he didn't want her to do the job she's being paid for. They butt heads from the beginning, but he starts slowly getting to know her, realizing just how attractive she is.
It has a great HEA... and the entire book (well after the initial head butting) was so sweet and romantic. What a great enemies to lovers book!! The narrators did a fabulous job keeping the story going great with the three E's: energetic, entertaining, and engaging. Great job!!
I received an ALC for my honest review.
