Publisher's summary

Reid Wolfe is a master of seducing women.

This time, his life may depend on it.

He’s known as the Wolfe of Manhattan. Reid Wolfe sees women as playthings, and most are happy to be arm candy and bed warmers for the handsome billionaire rake. He knows the art of seduction like no other, so surely he can get a Las Vegas showgirl into his bed in record time. He must, because she has information he and his family need to prove their innocence in their father's murder. And Reid is at his most persuasive between the sheets.

Zinnia Rehnquist, now known as Zara Jones or simply Zee, lives her life under the radar. Chorus line girls are supposed to be invisible. The audience sees the big picture, not a single dancer, and that suits Zee just fine...until Reid Wolfe shows up and turns her life upside down. He needs her to talk - to tell the story of what his father did to her - but she’s finally put that part of her life to bed.

Reid is ready to pull out all the stops to get Zee under the covers and talking, but when new evidence comes to light, the game changes for everyone...and Reid finds he may feel more for the beautiful Zee than he ever meant to.

Okay

Well, I am really excited to finally see who exactly has all this chaos going. I haven't quite figured it all out, buy I will by tomorrow.

Suspenseful

Very suspenseful and great story. Love the twists and turns.
Still very similar to Steel Brothers - 3 brothers-1 sister, rich, bad father, sexual abuse. Would like to see more differences in future series but I’m still a fan.

Great Series!

Absolutely great series. So many suspects of the lecherous/evil man that was murdered. Who really did it? We are close to finding out.

Wow, just WOW!

I love Helen Hardt’s books and these audio books are no different. The only drawback, for me was the woman’s speech was faster than my aged mind could follow, so I slowed it down to .8 during her voicing and we were good to go.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

The plot thickens

Ok, first off, feels somewhat icky that Zara/Zinnia falls for the son of the man who hunted and nearly killed her, but, it's definitely not the most icky thing to have occurred in the overall storyline.

Things have really spun out if control with the list of possible scenarios just keep getting crazier. One more book to find out what really happened and who really killed the disgusting patriarch of the Wolfe family.

The narration was fantastic. I have enjoyed every different pair of narrators in this series.

Disappointed

The way it ends is a cliff hanger but has no mention of part two. I see now there will be one …..

One Step Closer to the End

As the drama unfolds with each book in the series, Reid has been the steady and staunch businessman who carries the weight of Wolfe Enterprises as well as the weight of trying to keep his family safe. It’s fun to see him lose his cool as he becomes entranced with Zee, but struggles to find balance with that after getting her full story. Strong, sexy, wealthy and so suave, he’s the dream guy every girl would love to snag. Almost to the conclusion of Derek Wolfe’s murderer, the plot has thickened so much, you can’t help but speculate and sit on the edge of your seat ready to dive into the last book!

The mystery is still not solved!

Book 4 of the series is Rake and focuses on Reid Wolfe of Manhattan. He and his two brothers and sister are all suspects in the death of their father, from book one.

Reid is a playboy with no intention of settling down with anyone and has his sights on seducing Zinnia for answers about his father’s seedy activities. The more he spends time with Zinnia (Zee) the more he is really developing feelings for her and he doubts that she could ever possibly reciprocate those feelings with the terrible things his father did to her.

The police are closing in and making arrests and Reid’s lawyer suggests that the two of them get married to avoid testifying against each other so, they do.

Story ends abruptly…again!! 😑

Fabulous work done by both of the narrator’s: Ryan West and Molly Glenmore
