1.5*.
I'm so so so disappointed with this book. What's with all the ratings? First off when I started it I had no idea it was a cliffy. No wonder it was a loose plot with a solid beginning and an ending and a whole lot of nothing in between. Felt like thousands of pages and I kept expecting things to move on from them spending time together, sex scenes. We didn't even have wit and humour to move things along. The h got on my last nerve, she would state something and then within minutes she'd cave. So why play games? I could write an essay on this book, from it's lack of depth in characters and plot to the logic stumbles it has. Like him making a bet with his friends that she'll sleep with him when minutes before she'd already stated she'd hooked up with him. This only got interesting when her deception was exposed right at the very end, hence the cliffy as there needs to be another book to get to that.

kind of...liked it? It was like reading FSOG but with more..."safe", "sane" characters without the BSDM of course...

Cliche and predictable but well-written. I enjoyed it. There was one time where the author played around with consent that I did not like at all. The protagonist asks the partner to promise that he'll stop if she says so later but he kept pushing her on that and was very dismissive (he said that he promises no such thing). Ignoring consent, even if it's "playfully" done is just WRONG and I hated that scene.

I don't even know where to begin, but this book had me from the beginning. Oh the chemistry between Saint and Rachel was so off the charts and amazing.
I just fell in love with bad boy Michael Saint, there were times that I just wanted to wrap him in my arms and give him the most fiercest hug ever!
Oh holy Molly cliffhanger ugh. Can't wait to be able to start reading the next book in this series.
Another great story by Katy Evans

I've read this series in its entirety at least four times, if not more, and I still fall in love with Rachel and Malcolm.
5 years later and I am still thoroughly enamoured by this story. Every time I pick this series up, a part of me always hopes that Ms. Evans would pull a 'Remy' and give us a novella. There are so many instances that I would love to read from his eyes just so that I can get into his head and understand him a little more and maybe, a glimpse of him and Rachel in the future.
Before the release of Manwhore, I always claimed that Remington Tate would be my favourite Katy Evans hero and that no one could take his place but Malcolm Kyle Preston Saint swooped in with this four names and filled the first position and hasn't left my 'Top Favourite Hero's' list.
Malcolm Saint is shrewd and an alpha male but what pulled me to him was his quiet but lethal nature. He knows when to strike and where to strike. He is a hunter and that makes him all the more ruthless in business.
Rachel Livingston is a favourite too. She is an independent woman who stands for what she believes in. She has the 'I need to change the world' streak and through her medium as a journalist, she wishes to reach more people and not only inspire them but let them know that they are not alone.
Of course, There were a few moments, especially towards the end where I wanted to shake her. Do I understand why she did what she did? Yes.
Do I agree with it? No.
Having had next to zero male influences in her life in the form of a father, bother or even friends or boyfriends, it was fun to see her navigate the instant carnal attraction she had towards Saint.
Rachel and Saint have insane chemistry and when Rachel allowed herself to let go and give in to that attraction it got even better! Saint is a sensuous person, while Rachel is timid and reserved and the combination of these two was perfect for me.
Even though we finish on a cliffhanger, I loved the ending and the wait was killing for the second book because when your favourite couple is at a crossroads you need to know what is going to happen.
Malcolm Saint is my main man and Manwhore was and still is an unputdownable read for me.
4.5 Stars!

Review on the blog: http://mlvreads.blogspot.com/2016/03/book-review-manwhore-katy-evans.html
So. I was super excited to read this, and maybe that was my first mistake. High expectations are hardly ever met! I saw a 4 star review posted by a woman I trust with these types of books and her comparison to Never Been Kissed (the awesome Drew Barrymore) had me so excited.
While I definitely did understand where those comparisons come from, I just never got to connect with the characters enough to...well...care about them.
