★★★★ 1/2! A Million Guilty Pleasures, book 2 of 2. The conclusion of Noah Crawford, sex-god extraordinaire’s fall into whopped! “I was turning into a total bitch for her, pussy-whipped to the extreme” Books in Million Dollar Duet should be read in order:Book 1: A Million Dirty SecretsBook 2: A Million Guilty PleasuresIn a Million Dirty Secrets (book 1) we met Delaine Talbot, Laine who to help with her mother’s staggering medical bills offered her virginity and two years to the highest bidder. Noah Crawford grew up privileged. But his parent’s untimely death left him with the responsibility, at age 22, of taking over their company. He had been fighting to keep control of with his arch enemy doing everything to sabotage. When he heard of the auction he felt it’d be the perfect solution to a safe no strings-attached sexual relationship. Noah set out to educate Laine about sex as these two very strong personalities went head-to-head fighting their attraction every step of the way!A Million Guilty Pleasures (book 2) picks up right after book 1’s shocking cliff-hanger ending. Noah and Laine’s story continues as they are trying to define what they mean to each other and to figure out how and if they can work in the real world. In addition, they are faced with Laine’s mother’s declining health plus Noah’s arch enemy’s lies, deceit and ultimate betrayal. Friendships will be tested as well as their commitment. It’s a fight for power and fortune, right versus wrong, but most of all for a future and a chance at love. “Well, not really, but I wasn’t averse to letting her think so if that meant she was going to be more adventurous.” Noah Patrick Crawford has so many of the qualities I like in a hero. In his POV we are treated to his wit and sarcasm that both endeared and entertained me. A larger-than life hero! Ten words to describe Noah: Captivating, jaded, sexy, witty, flawed, reflective, elusive, bossy, possessive and unforgettable. Delaine Marie Talbot, Laine initially (in book 1) came across a bit too quirky with her nicknames for private parts. But after a few chapters it worked. Or maybe it was just overshadowed by everything that is Noah. Five words to describe Laine: Loyal, unselfish, smart, feisty and adaptable.Entertaining plot! Effortless writing! Scorching sex scenes! The perfect ending! But above all an unforgettable hero, Noah Crawford! “Fucking Noah was an extreme sport. And oh, what a rush it was.” ***Hero rating: 5+ stars Heroine rating: 3.5 starsSex scenes rating: 5+ starsSex scenes frequency: 4.5 starsStoryline concept rating: 4 starsStorytelling skills rating: 5 starsStory ending rating: 5 starsBook editing rating (5 = no edits spotted): 4 stars************************************************Overall rating: 4.5 starsWould I recommend this series: Yes.Would I re-read this series: Maybe later.Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
