Piper: The Casanova Club #1 by Ali ParkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Working Class Girl Seeks Billionaire
These concept series can sometimes be a bit contrived, but they can also be really fun too. As the first book in this series was free I decided to see if it would annoy me or delight me. After reading it I have to side on the positive end of the spectrum.
Piper is a 21 year old student who also works loads of part time jobs and works in the failing family business. Her parents’ business is going under and she is giving it everything as well as trying to keep passing all her courses. Her parents’ dream is killing hers slowly but surely as she is forced to pour more and more time and energy into it for less and less reward.
Her best friend Janie works for a billionaire and she reveals that he runs a club of business men who join together to try and find a wife. One girl is selected and they each have a month to woo her. If at the end of the year she chooses not to get married she gets $1m. Piper is determined to get her chance to win that money and if dating 12 strangers is what it takes then she wants that chance.
I liked Piper. She is hard working to a fault, bright, ambitious and loyal and isn’t afraid to dream despite her situation. Her friend Janie is pretty interesting. She’s supportive but realistic about what the opportunity could actually mean to Piper and goes all out with her boss to try and make it happen.
We are briefly introduced to all the men involved and some of them are not pleasant guys. I’m glad there will be some variety over the 12 books, because how else will she narrow down a decision!
It’s a fun start to the series and I’m looking forward to the next book.
