BOOKWORM REVIEW: Trapped with Mr. Walker by Elle Nicoll

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Elle Nicoll hits it out of the park again. 

The last time we met Reed Walker, he was creating some miscommunication problems between protagonists Griffin and Maria about his..um..extracurricular activities in his condo. Now he is back, running for New York City mayor, but he has a few public image issues. When his campaign manager suggests that finding a steady girlfriend might be helpful for his reputation, he recruits Griffin's assistant Harley to be his fake partner.

Harley should not be taking up Reed's offer, but it certainly is tempting when she needs the extra cash and it will keep her off the dangerous side job of honey trapping. But when lines start to blur, can these two keep their feelings in check?

What I love about Elle Nicoll's series is that there is always a nice element of mystery and suspense. In this read, we get a nice subplot that will keep us somewhat guessing. There were some parts of possible "gotcha's" from Nicoll's part where I was almost sure the character was the culprit only to realize I was wrong, so this read definitely kept me guessing.

I really like the chemistry between Reed and Harley, especially in the moments when they both let their guard down and fully participate in the banter. Were their spicy moments spicy? Absolutely! I am a fan of dirty-talking MMC's, but I am all about the dirty-talking FMC's, too.

This book can be read as a standalone, but it does incorporate characters and events from previous books, especially Pleasing Mr. Parker.

NOTE: I received an advanced copy of this book, so I am not certain that content warnings will be added to the final copy. There are mentions of r@pe in the story.

** I am voluntarily reviewing an advance copy of this book. Thank you to Elle Nicoll and Give Me Books PR for providing an ARC. **

ABOUT THE BOOK

“You need to understand something, Angel. Once you let me touch you, there’s no going back.”

Reed Walker, notorious playboy is running for New York Mayor.
He wants to deflect attention away from his less than wholesome image. The past has no place when you’re trying to win the people’s vote.
So he propositions me.
Pretend to be his girlfriend until election day. Help him to look dependable, trustworthy, loving; someone people can relate to.
It should be easy. I’ve spent years playing a role. What’s one more?
But slowly I begin to glimpse the man beneath the suit and perfect smile.
And what I discover takes my breath away.
There is more to Reed Walker than I ever dreamed.
Good and bad.
Light and dark.
Everything I know is reversed.
And suddenly I’m forced into making the hardest decision of my life.
And his.
I thought I knew what I wanted.
But I never factored in getting trapped with Mr. Walker.

What to expect – Suits, spice, scandal, singing, pink fluff, houseplants, sloths, letting go of the past, healing, forgiveness, trusting your instincts, redemption, a love so deep it makes your eyes water, and of course, a happily ever after because love always wins.

MEET ELLE NICOLL

Elle Nicoll is a British, ex long-haul flight attendant and mum of two.

She writes sweet, but dirty, contemporary romance novels, all based around love.

Not all the men she writes will be rich alphas. Not all the women will be sassy. Just like we are all different, they will be too.

But she hopes they will feel real. Flawed, insecure, broken maybe. But also warm, considerate and loyal. Any elements that you think of when you consider the people you know.

Because no one is perfect.

When Elle isn't writing or falling for another new book boyfriend she is trying to look like a parent who knows what they're actually doing. That, or staring at the sky day-dreaming and running another book idea by her husband, who has perfected his 'listening with interest' face.

It means the world to Elle that you're considering reading her stories, and she loves to hear from readers.
