Ratings and reviews

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review** Carly Phillips has always been a go-to author for me and this series has been one of my favorites. In this third book, we get the story of Landon Bennett and it's not one you're going to want to miss. Landon Bennett is one of the owners of the club TEN29 with his friends Tanner Grayson and Jason Dare. After some not so great press recently, Landon has come up with the idea that they should have a summer musical resident to try to bring back the crowds to the club. Leave it to him to have found a viral sensation that he's got his sights set on to be the perfect act. Vivi Zane is doing all she can to get noticed in the music business, but so far she hasn't hit paydirt. Well, that was until a performance of hers has gone viral and her voice is being heard in more places than she could have imagined. When she's approached by Landon to take the summer residency they are offering, she feels like it may be too good to be true. Is it? Landon and Vivi have immediate chemistry, but when it comes to light that there is another tie between them, will it be too much for them to overcome. Or will they be able to put the past in the past and see where their insane chemistry can go? I was completely captivated by this fast-paced and enjoyable story. This is definitely my favorite of this series so far!

This book was spectacular!! I have been waiting for Landon’s story to be told and I was not disappointed. Landon is one of the co-owners of Club TEN29 which was named after the date he lost his twin brother. His sole purpose is to make Club TEN29 the best spot for people to come to. After having a huge night with live entertainment in their club, the trio decide that giving someone a summer residency so they have live entertainment nightly would be best for the club. Luckily, co-owner Jason knows of the perfect person, someone his wife seen on a morning show that morning named Vivi. Vivi, the woman that takes Landon’s heart at first sight. Vivienne (Vivi) is a up and coming singer, well at least that’s what she’s hoping for. Vivi has always dreamed of becoming a singer. Unknown to her, while out with her friend one night, her friend/assistant recorded her singing on stage. The video went viral and Vivi was a huge hit. Landon meets with Vivi’s manager to discuss Vivi working for Club TEN29. After Landon gives Vivi all the details and leaves her with the contract to go over, he leaves to wait to hear from Vivi. Vivi is so excited and can’t wait, she knows she will except the offer but still wants to go over everything. Once home Vivi starts to realize she has heard of Club TEN29 and Landon before but not sure from where. Vivi pulls out her phone to do a google search and to her shock finds out that Landon and his club are familiar because it was Landon’s brother that her brother killed. Vivi can under no circumstance take this offer. She has nothing to do with her brother but because of what he did she could not be around Landon or his club. What happens when Landon spills his heart out to Vivi and request her to please take his offer? Can Vivi help Landon out while keeping far away from him. Can she work every night with Landon and not let him find out who she really is? THIS IS A MUST READ. You will fall in love as quick as I did. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5 Star Review of Better Than Sexy (The Sexy Series #3) by Carly Phillips The third book in the series and this was just as entertaining as the first two books. I love Carly Phillips style of writing, there is something about her stories, that draws me in and keeps me invested from the first to the last chapter. I have anxiously been waiting for Landon Bennett’s story and it was well worth the wait, even if it is complicated love story. I knew that the woman who would bring him to his knees would need to be special and Vivienne Clark most certainly is. Landon is part owner of nightclub ClubTen29 along with his best friends Jason and Tanner. I fell hard and fast for Landon, he is totally swoon worthy and ticked the boxes for me. When Landon offers Vivi the opportunity to perform at their club, he has no idea what he has set in motion. Landon is attracted to Vivi immediately, but when she realizes that they are connected in a way that may well destroy their blossoming relationship before it really gets a chance, she doesn’t know what to do. The chemistry between Landon and Vivi is scorching and you could almost feel the flames burning as you read. Better Than Sexy is a highly entertaining story and one that got to me on numerous levels. I loved the camaraderie and friendship with the other club owners, it adds an extra layer to the story that Ms. Phillips wove. It was also satisfying to have everything tied up in this book and I was happy that all the threads were woven together. This is a passionate and emotional story with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Can Landon and Vivi confront the past, make peace with it and forge a new path together? Or will it all come crashing down around them? A beautifully written love story to end the series.
