Blurb-

I don’t believe in forever. I believe in odds and always having an out—until my stepsister shows up on my doorstep with an eviction notice and nowhere else to go.

Opinionated and a self-confessed romantic, it makes sense that Pippa works for the biggest women’s magazine in the country.

What doesn’t make sense is why the hell she’d accept an assignment for a “12 Dates of Christmas” feature to find her Mr. Right…while living in my apartment.

It shouldn’t be any of my business who she kisses for content, but these guys? Really?

It’s not long before our banter starts to feel more like foreplay, and one reckless taste of her proves exactly how combustible we are.

But I’m not the sort of guy who can give her forever…so I’ll be her dirty secret instead.

Problem is I’ve never been good at sharing, and since she’s ruined me for anyone else, the least I can do is return the favor.

Dirty Savage Player is an enemies-to-lovers billionaire playboy romance featuring high heat, elite banter, and a holiday dating experiment gone horribly wrong. It is the second book in the House of Cards series, but can be read as a complete standalone.

Dirty Savage Player is an enemies-to-lovers billionaire playboy romance featuring high heat, elite banter, and a holiday dating experiment gone horribly wrong. It is the second book in the House of Cards series, but can be read as a complete standalone.

This is the second book in the House of Cards series, where Ryan and Pippa form a dynamic couple. Ryan, known for his womanizing ways, harbors deep feelings for Pippa, his stepsister. Their complex relationship is filled with tension and unresolved emotions. Pippa, a strong and intelligent woman, also struggles with insecurities.

Pippa's new circumstances force her and Ryan into temporary proximity, leading to friction and intense chemistry between them. A kiss changes everything, sparking a realization that their feelings are more than casual. Ryan grapples with confessing his true emotions, causing pain and uncertainty for both of them.

We are enjoying this series and its characters. The engaging plot of this story is enhanced by the Christmas and holiday vibes, adding extra family drama to their complicated situation. Pippa's job as a writer for a magazine involves creating a new article that is more hands-on than usual, as she decides to write about 12 holiday-themed Christmas dates.

The story is humorous as we witness the challenges of the dating scene for a single woman. The chemistry between Ryan and Pippa is intense, but their lack of communication and external influences create obstacles. How do they navigate their intense connection and overwhelming chemistry? We found this book captivating and couldn't put it down.

The characters are well-developed, engaging, and endearing. The story includes an enemy-to-lovers dynamic, billionaire playboys, taboo romance, witty banter, and a sexy and entertaining plot. The resolution for this couple's love story is perfect, and the moments between Ryan and Waffle are heartwarming and delightful.
