Billionaire software developer Parker Braxton knows everyone wants something from him. That’s why he made a multi-million-dollar bachelor pact with his friends to never marry. But he never counted on running into, literally, the quiet but sensual Layla Fallon. Layla isn’t afraid of hard work. Still, there is no light at the end of her student-loan tunnel. When Stuck-Up Suit–Parker … Braxton–accidentally runs her over, it’s the last things she needs. She refuses his help, but he’s persistent. He’s also handsome, kinder than she ever expected, and she’s doing her best to ignore her attraction. Which is harder than it sounds when she’s recuperating at his penthouse.
Sparks fly. Hearts flutter. But falling for Layla could cost Parker more than just several million dollars.

You can always be sure that Cathryn Fox will take a story and give you exactly what you want! This is one that was a joy to read! It was sexy, real, adorable, engaging, sweet….. I could go on and on! I loved how simple and easy the story flowed. Maybe that’s because it was so well written?? In any case, it was an alluring read!
Parker Braxton, billionaire, literally drives into Layla Fallon, student and barista, taking her down. Parker wants to help her-and she refuses-multiple times. But Parker is insistent-it’s the right thing to do. He didn’t get to be where he was by not getting his way. So he doesn’t give Layla any choice.
Layla is drowning in student debt. And now that she has to be off work, she’s upset. She’s not afraid of working hard. Not having anyone else to help, she’s only ever been able to rely on herself. Should she let Parker help her?? It doesn’t hurt that he’s the hottest and surprisingly kind guys she’s met!
But she can’t take advantage can she?? Parker sees she won’t take his charity, so he starts bargaining for her services. He will pay her overdue rent and she cooks him meals for a week. And other bargains like that. Layla feels she’s paying off the debt, and Parker doesn’t get to see her leave him anytime soon!
I loved the way this story unfolded! It had a nice flow. There wasn’t any huge angst, side plot, or outside influence which was totally refreshing! So many times there is some needless side story thrown in that does nothing for the main story. I enjoyed this centering on these two alone and only these two. I felt more endeared to them and vested in their future! Their love unfolding was beautiful to watch happen!

The Penthouse Pact starts off with a bang…or a bump…depends on how you look at it. HA! This new Contemporary Billionaire Romance will treat you into the world of Parker and Layla. He’s a serious, brooding “stuck up suit.’ She’s a barista.
Circumstances force these two together. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Layla just wants to be left alone and Parker is determined to take care of her. She needs to work but he wants to keep her off her feet. I mean, being run over can’t be a picnic. Though the bill collectors won’t care that you can’t pay though. They want their money regardless, right?
Parker just wants to take care of Layla since he accidentally ran over her. His attraction to her started long before he took her home from the hospital after the incident. She didn’t realize he noticed her…boy did he.
This story read quickly for me. If you enjoy Billionaire Romances this is one you should check out.
Parker Braxton doesn’t do love, he’s so determined not to that he actually made a pact with his friends that holds him to it; if at some point he decides to break the pact he has to pay up, and he isn’t about to hand over his millions to his friends. But, sometimes love knows no bounds or abides by unwritten rules and he finds that to be true when he literally runs into the woman of his dreams. After running into her he insists on taking care of her at his penthouse, and little by little she manages to sneak right under his “no love radar” and makes a place in his heart.
When Layla Fallon is hit by sexy businessman Parker Braxton she is left completely rattled, so many times she has seen him at the coffee shop and so many times she thought he was somewhat of a jerk, but now he is being so caring and sweet and it takes her by surprise. Not only does he actually know who she is, but he is also insistent on caring for her after the accident, and all she wants to do is get back to school and keep herself on track, but he isn’t having it. She soon finds herself at his mercy, and momentarily living at his swanky penthouse so he can ensure she is healing safely, and just as soon as she moves in, do the sparks start to swirl around them.
The Penthouse Pact is a sweet and sexy tale that will have romance readers hearts rejoicing!
