About this ebook

It was never my plan to wake up in a Vegas hotel room as Dominic Mancini’s WIFE. The man has brought me nothing but heartache since I was sixteen.

At least we agree on one thing—a quickie annulment and we can both get on with our lives. I can go back to teaching little girls to dance and he can go back to making millions on Wall Street.

But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay in Vegas. It follows you right into an ambush by your Italian Mamas who deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the guilt.

So, we do what any good Italian kids would do. We secretly agree to pretend to give marriage a try.

But our easy solution morphs into a convoluted mess and leaves us wondering—is it safe to bet on each other?

 

An annulment seemed like the easy way out. We should’ve known it wouldn’t be fate that intervened, but our Italian Mamas. They can deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the guilt.

 

We thought it’d be easy to pretend to be a happily married couple in front of our families for three months and then say we gave it our best shot and go our separate ways.

 

But nothing is easy when it comes to Dominic Mancini and me. Nothing.

Ratings and reviews

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review** Oh how I've been looking forward to Wild Steamy Hook-Up, as I had to know what Piper Rayne had in store for the final unattached Mancini brother, Dominic. They definitely didn't disappoint! Dom and Val have known one another since they were kids and they were one another's first loves when they were teenagers. Things happened and they went their separate ways even though it was fairly clear that they were still number one in each other's hearts. Fast forward to now, when they both happen to be in Vegas for the weekend and after a night of enjoying a bit too much alcohol, they find themselves hitched. They figure the easiest thing to do is to get an annulment, but before that can happen, things don't quite go as planned. There is absolutely no doubt that the feelings are still strong and that the chemistry is off the charts. The question is, is the timing finally right for them? I loved this story, but it is definitely an emotional roller coaster. While I loved both Dom and Val, there were times I wanted to throttle them both. They are both stubborn and also fearful of being hurt again and that becomes crystal clear as you move through the book. I love a good second chance love story and I am glad I was drawn into this one from the outset. I also loved how the Mancini family was so involved, just like a good Italian family would be! Do yourself a favor and don't just pick up this book, make sure you read the whole series...it's worth it!

Book 3 in one of my favourite series of 2019 and what a great addition Wild Steamy Hook-Up is to the White Collar Brothers. What happens when you wake up in Vegas with a raging hangover and a wife lying next to you … well you are about to find out in this fun entertaining read. Dominic Mancini and Valentina (Val) Daniella Sommerland have a history their past has been intertwined from childhood but the timing has never been right so hook-ups is all they every expected from each other till that fateful night in Vegas… Everything about this book is perfect, the banter between Dom and Val as well as the banter shared between their families flows so naturally and I had a fair few laugh out loud moments, I swooned and I sighed as I went through this book hoping Val and Don got the HEA they so deserved. A fun entertaining read and I’m left wondering where these very talented authors will take us next.

5 Star Review Wild Steamy Hook- Up (White Collar Brothers #3) by Piper Rayne The third book in the series about the Mancini family and is Dominic and Valentina (Val) Daniella Sommerland’s story, a second chance at love story that ticked all the boxes for me. I will admit that there were times that I wanted to smack some sense in to Dom. Val has been in love with Dom since she was 16 and despite their hook-ups, she has always believed that she and Dom would make a future together one day. Pity Dom doesn’t feel the same way. The chemistry between Dom and Val is intense and impossible to ignore. They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas but what happens when a drunken night of passion ends in a marriage neither expected, or do they? Can they get an annulment or divorce before their families find out? Neither Dom or Val count on the interference of their families and I found myself laughing when their mothers played the “Italian” guilt trip card. As with other books I have read from this dynamic duo, the writing was strong and I have no idea where one author finished and the other took over. The miss communication and misunderstandings between Dom and Val lead to several frustrating and at times humorous moments but through it all the chemistry blazed. Will Dom and Val learn from their past mistakes? I was excited for Dom’s story and Piper and Rayne did not disappoint. Now to wait, not so patiently for Blanca’s story....
