Review - Manwhore by Katy Evans



Title: Manwhore
Series: Manwhore #1
Author: Katy Evans 
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Release Date: March 24, 2015 




Is it possible to expose Chicago's hottest player--without getting played?

This is the story I've been waiting for all my life, and its name is Malcolm Kyle Preston Logan Saint. Don't be fooled by that last name though. There's nothing holy about the man except the hell his parties raise. The hottest entrepreneur Chicago has ever known, he's a man's man with too much money to spend and too many women vying for his attention.

Mysterious. Privileged. Legendary. His entire life he's been surrounded by the press as they dig for tidbits to see if his fairytale life is for real or all mirrors and social media lies. Since he hit the scene, his secrets have been his and his alone to keep. And that's where I come in.

Assigned to investigate Saint and reveal his elusive personality, I'm determined to make him the story that will change my career.

But I never imagined he would change my life. Bit by bit, I start to wonder if I'm the one discovering him...or if he's uncovering me.

What happens when the man they call Saint, makes you want to sin?








The buzz for this book made me especially curious. The blurb made it a must have for me. I mean, come on! How can any romance reader pass up a book titled Manwhore? They can't. I love a good reformed manwhore story as much as the next girl and couldn't wait to dive into this one.

Rachel is working for a floundering magazine when the assignment of her career comes across her desk. An interview. No, scratch that. An expose on Chicago's most elusive billionaire manwhore, Malcolm Saint.

Her goal; get in, get the story, and get out without losing her panties to him. Yeah, easier said than done...

Oh boy. I really, really wanted this to live up to the hype it was getting. Unfortunately, for me, it just didn't give me the wow factor I was expecting. Don't get me wrong, the sex, when it finally happens, is hotter than hot! But the story just didn't grab me like I was hoping it would. There's a lot of internal dialogue that just slowed the book down too much for me. And Saint really didn't come across as that big of a bad boy manwhore. The story is told through Rachel's POV so I don't know that it was enough to give Saint as much depth as he needed. I think his POV at pivotal points would have made this an exceptional book. For me, it just lacked something. And then the dreaded cliffhanger…
