Is it possible to expose Chicago’s hottest player—without getting played?

This is the story I've been waiting for all my life, and its name is Malcolm Kyle Preston Logan Saint. Don’t be fooled by that last name though. There’s nothing holy about the man except the hell his parties raise. The hottest entrepreneur Chicago has ever known, he’s a man’s man with too much money to spend and too many women vying for his attention.

Mysterious. Privileged. Legendary. His entire life he’s been surrounded by the press as they dig for tidbits to see if his fairytale life is for real or all mirrors and social media lies. Since he hit the scene, his secrets have been his and his alone to keep. And that’s where I come in.

Assigned to investigate Saint and reveal his elusive personality, I’m determined to make him the story that will change my career.

But I never imagined he would change my life. Bit by bit, I start to wonder if I'm the one discovering him...or if he's uncovering me.

What happens when the man they call Saint, makes you want to sin? 


Since I first fell in love with Katy Evans Real series, I knew she was going to be one of those authors that I would always have to read. Engaging characters, great writing style, and a way to capture the readers attention to the end. Manwhore is another winner with the same great Katy style.

“His lips were made to kiss, his hands to touch; that’s the sole purpose of his thick hair: for women to cling to while he pounds them hard. His eyes seem to offer peeks into heaven and into some kind of party in hell, I’m maddened by it all.”

Rachel Livingston is a journalist for Edge magazine, which is on the cusp of failing. Rachel has been working there since college and has always loved her job. So when her boss gives her the chance for an exposé that can revive Edge, she agrees. Problem is, the assignment is to get close to Malcolm Kyle Preston Logan Saint, a notorious billionaire manwhore, with a woman every night and rarely the same one twice. He’s also an extremely private person and the only thing they’ve ever really gotten from him is that he does everything in fours. Rachel’s job; get close, however she has to.

“I indulge in anything that I want. I’m not in the business of denying myself what I want. I’m not in the business of denying those around me of anything they want. I’m yours if you want me, Rachel.”

As she starts getting closer to him, she’s surprised to find a deeper person behind his reputation on all the gossip mags. Malcolm is swoon worthy, sexy, and knows that he wants Rachel, more than he’s wanted another woman before. But he’s also enigmatic, sweet, and has never really opened up to another person. The chemistry between the two explodes. She is fighting feelings for him and he’s determined to win her over. Rachel finds herself opening up to him as well. Rachel reaches a dilemma where she has to get closer to get her story but feels herself falling for him and unwilling to do so. When Malcolm finally learns her plan, will these two be able to overcome her deceit?

When I first read the synopsis, I was worried I wouldn’t like Rachel because of the duplicity but she is a sweet, fragile, likable character, who just wants to make life better. Malcolm is unbelievably sexy and I found myself rereading parts of the book, just to get more of him. I almost wish for a glimpse into his POV, even as just an extra scene in the end. I would love to know what he was thinking.

The secondary characters where a toss up for me. I actually found myself liking Malcolm’s friends more than Rachel’s, especially Gina. While she was trying to stop Rachel getting hurt by Malcolm, she was also a little suffocating. She has her own issues she’s dealing with and I felt she was kind of superimposing them onto Rachel.

The book does end in a cliffhanger and I’m unsure if there are only two books or three in the series. All I know is that I have to have the next book NOW!
