There’s a hot new hire.
Too bad she’s Donavan’s ex.
Oh, and there’s one other problem—they hate each other.
The last thing he expected to see when he walked into the office was Paisley Williams.
She was the only person to graduate ahead of him at Columbia. The one woman who could give it back better than he could dish it out.
She was also the biggest regret of his life. What he did to her … regret of his life. What he did to her was unforgivable.
Now, she’s back in Chicago, working at his firm.
When old feelings interfere, stakes get raised, and secrets are revealed…
Will they have a shot at making it the second time around? Or are they more doomed than the first?

Listen up Enemies to Lover fans! Alex Wolf and Sloane Howell are back with another dose of their Cocky Suit Chicago novels! If you’re looking for a sexy read, the entire series is in Kindle Unlimited. It’s the perfect BINGE! Warning: Alphas ahead!
Donavan’s story was the one I was waiting for, and I was not disappointed. This is one of those series where I wait for the next book to come out, then don’t read it right away because I know I’ll be sad I didn’t have it to look forward to any more.
Donavan and Paisley’s romance was thrilling and passionate. We finally learned that the one that got away was very important in why Donavan was so callous and isolated from the rest of the brothers. It was a sign of the depth of his sensitivity not the arrogance always attributed to him.
And he broke her heart. She loved him so completely that when he ghosted her 7 years earlier, he changed her, hardened her; took her devotion and sensitivity and turned it to distrust.
This story was very moving. Yes, I was wiping the tears from my eyes so I could see the words on the page. Alex Wolf and Sloane Howell have really got this thing down when it comes to stories about heart stirring and powerful men and women.
I am really enjoying this series by Mr. Howell and Mr. Wolf! The indomitable Collins brothers and the kick a$$ women who they are lucky to call their own.
This is the story of baby Collins, Donovan and Paisley. They were college sweethearts and because of pride and youthful arrogance, Donovan broke Paisley’s heart.
Flash forward, years later and Paisley returns back to Chicago and back into Donovan’s world.
I could empathize with Donovan, being the youngest in the family and having to fight to be heard and feeling the need to work twice as hard to be noticed and appreciated for who you are and what you bring into the world.
Paisley is the soft place for Donovan to fall, but don’t let that fool you. Over the years she has built walls around her bruised heart.
The flow of this story is fast and furious! I couldn’t put it down until the very end. I loved the possessiveness of Donovan and the strength of Paisley.
This story can be read as a stand-alone, but I have read this whole series and it was fantastic seeing past characters and catching up with them.
Thanks for writing such a fantastic story and a phenom series!! I am hoping that Rick and Mary get their story soon!
This is the fourth book in this incredible series and can be read as a standalone but you get a better understanding of everyone’s dynamics if you read the other books. Plus trust me you will LOVE those other Sexy brothers!
Another Collins brother that you will surely fall in love with once you get past his arrogance boastfulness bumptious behavior. Donavan is the youngest of the brothers and has always felt like he needed to compete even harder because of that reason. He definitely has many issues that come to light that help explain why he is the way he appears to be. I wanted to hug him,strangle him,cry for him and punch some people through out this book. Paisley is a shark in and out if the courtroom. She is smart, driven,competitive and determined to win. They have a very complicated past so when she shows back up in his life after years he is determined to figure out why.You could feel the tension in the air between Donavan and Paisley growing as the days went by. It was only a matter of time before their sexual desires were going to come to fruition. Unfortunately not everything is as it seems, hearts will be broken, secrets will be revealed,lives will be changed.

What the everliving love of Donavon. Amazing, complicated, but a determined man. Donavon unloads a lot emotions in this story, but so does Paisley. Paisley gives us grit and also a very determined woman to do what she needs to protect her family.
BUT why don’t you see more of my review here on YouTube https://youtu.be/z3-mGg4MgSY
Okay, I’m just gonna say it, Donavan is a jerk. I mean, we’ve pretty much known that since book one of this series. But the question is whether or not he’s a redeemable jerk, and I’d have to say a great big yes because much like the rest of the Collins men, he’s a big ol’ marshmallow in the middle. It just takes some work to get there, and the journey was terrific. We’re four books in now, and every time I say the authors have given me a favorite couple, they top it with the next book, so I’ve decided that they can all be my favorites since this series has definitely become a must-read for me. This one does have its share of secrets to uncover, and I think it may be the most emotional of the series so far, but it’s also got the witty dialogue that I look forward to and Donavan and Paisley are hot enough to set your Kindle on fire. All in all, another great couple in a series of great couples, and I can’t wait to see what Sloane and Alex do next.
The fourth book in this series brings us the story of Donovan and Paisley and I have to say I think it’s my favourite of the lot! Donovan has always been the arrogant, quick tempered brother and on the surface of it not that appealing, but his story allows you to see underneath his protective veneer and understand what’s made him this way. Paisley is a great heroine, smart and spunky and doesn’t put up with any crap, as well as being protective of her family- I really liked her. A second chance, enemies to lovers romance this has chemistry in spades and I loved how possessive and dominant Donovan is. There is heartache and angst but humour and heat as well making this an engaging story that drew me in from the start – I couldn’t put it down and devoured it in one sitting. If you haven’t read this series you could jump in here, but even better to start at the beginning with Cocky Playboy you’ll love him too!
I love a good redemption speech and Mr. Collins nails it every time. Just as the previous Collins members, Donovan’s story starts with a bang from the very first sentence. Paisley’s makes a great adversary against this arrogant playboy and doesn’t come up short. Her wit and sharp tongue gave me life. I loved that she matched him toe to toe in every aspect. The matched stubbornness, ruthlessness, and explosive emotions made for a great book. Their chemistry perfectly depicted through steamy AF impressive scenes was the perfect bow to bind this couple and their book.
Love this series and I absolutely remain perched at the witty symbolism and awesome references these authors make! Four books later, this series all has my attention and I absolutely love their timely releases.
Perfect balance.
I admit it, Arrogant Playboy is the first book in this series that I’ve read from Sloane Howell and Alex Wolf. So that probably had a good deal to do with me being confused on some of the things/references that happened in this book, but I was able to follow along pretty well regardless.
It took me a hot minute to warm up to Donovan. He was arrogant, over confident, angry, lonely. His relationship with his brothers, and co-workers, was tenuous at best. They were constantly fighting and couldn’t seem to agree on anything. Especially the new hire, Donovan’s ex. The only woman he ever loved. The one he let slip through his fingers.
I liked Paisley. Smart. Kind. Savvy. Selfless. And not afraid to go toe-to-toe with Donovan and his temper. She had her own reasons for coming to his firm and her actions proved she deserved to be there. And in the middle of all she was juggling, there was Donovan being charming and working his way past all her defenses. The chemistry between these two was off the charts and it burned up the pages.
But Paisley has a secret, and when it came out, they lost all the ground they had made up. For as much as Donovan and his brothers picked at one another, they sure knew how to rally in a time of need. Cue the emotions that I wasn’t expecting from this book. It was the catalyst he needed to let the pain of his past go. To move toward the future he always wanted with Paisley.
Donovan and Paisley have history from their college days. It didn’t end well so how can they possibly play nice and work together now?
I love this series and all the characters from previous books. I wasn’t sure I was going to like Paisley at all. I kind of thought she was out to make Donovan’s life miserable. As I got to know her she grew on me. They have off the charts chemistry if they can get past their history. Fun that we are getting a peek into the PI’s personality too. Looking forward to more by Alex and Sloane.
Insecurities can take over a persons life and hide who they really are. Donovan has always distanced himself from his family to the point they never new about Paisley or his talent. His life has been lonely and full of resentment towards everyone and everything. All he wanted was to be #1 and she took that away from him and now she is back.
Paisley resentment towards Donovan has consumed her life, now back home to help her dad she comes face-to-face with the man she hates the most but loves at the same time.
The is is great book/series which I recommend to everyone!
ARROGANT PLAYBOY by Sloane Howell & Alex Wolf is book 4 in the Cocky Suits Chicago Series. This is the story of Dexter and Abby. I have yet read the previous book so for me this was a standalone book. Abby is a young women just starting her life where Dexter is a more settled in guy to his life and job. But there is something about Abby that draws him in and he acts on it. Although Abby she slowly goes into seeing where their feelings could go. Of course something happens that breaks them but love always wins out. Enjoyed their story and hope to read more from these two authors.
I couldn’t get enough of this book.
Arrogant Playboy is my first book by these two authors, either as a duo or individually. I can safely say, it won’t be the last though, as I am thoroughly hooked on this family. I want to know more and lucky for me, there are three books prior to this one that I can now happily binge on, then re-read this one again when I’m finished.
I’ll update my review then as I’m sure I missed some nuances by not having started at the beginning of the series.
But, I can honestly say, this was a great story and I enjoyed every minute of it. Donavan and Paisley were a fabulous couple and kept me hooked to the very end.
I think this one was my favorite in the series so far. I loved Donovan and Paisley! Donovan was such a softie inside but a bear on the outside and Paisley was just the right woman to tame him! She fit right in with the firm and the family. Paisley was Donovan’s ex and the one that he never could quite live up to in his mind, seeing as she graduated number one in their class, the position he was trying so desperately for so he could show his family he was someone special. What he did not realize was they already thought that, even if they had not told him that… Spark flew between he and Paisley and they fell in love again and realized they were meant to be! Can’t wait for more in the series!
My favorite Collins brother ever. It didn’t start out that way though. He was perhaps the cockiest, coldest, most arrogant, just plain disagreeable of all of them. We soon find out though that there is much emotion and pain under all that bluster. Paisley is the “one who got away” and she has no plans on ever being caught by Donovan again. But as always, plans sometimes get torpedoed and around every single corner, there is emotion and/or someone who will stand in their way. I fell in love with the little boy inside the man. I did have ONE tiny NO NO NO moment, but overall it wasn’t enough to pull a star.
This was my first book in the series and I can tell you it won’t be my last. The emotions in this story are raw and palpable. This writing duo of Alex Wolf and Sloane Howell know how to drop all the feels and build the angst. There is a fine line between love and hate. Donovan and Paisley are given a second chance at love ,but can they stop getting in their own way and obliterating each others feelings to get their HEA? I was held captive and consumed in this story.
“We can’t fix the past, but we can make a new future.” ~Paisley
This is a second chance romance, and I loved it! Donovan Collins hasn’t seen Paisley Williams in seven years. They’ve both built walls, both different people but the connection between them is still as strong as ever. I got invested in these characters, as we see the past decisions they’ve made, their regrets, their anger, their forgiveness, and their love. They are both hugely vulnerable in their loss and love. Family is a major part of this story. I think this was the most emotional of the series (also the hottest-*fans self*) and my favourite. The authors did an outstanding job with this series, no hesitation recommending this book.
I received a copy of this book. My honest opinion is voluntarily provided.
