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?

I liked Donavan and Paisleys story but it was not my favorite of this series so far. Donavan is the youngest and most argumentative of the Collins brother, making him a great criminal attorney for the firm. He met Paisley in college and they had a relationship until he left her, unexpectantly. Now Paisley moves back to Chicago and finds herself working at the same firm with Donavan and his brothers. This story takes a long time to develop but as it unfolds, it is very good.
OMG… you guys have done it again.
Love how Donovan is the guy you love to hate… but also adore at the same time.
I loved his backstory. I felt this helped me understand him better, and i wasn’t disappointed.
Paisley and Donovan are perfect.
Alex and Sloane did it again.
I’m kn love with all the Collins boys.
But this one got me with all the feels
Amazing job guys
I was given an ARC but voluntarily chose to review.
Just loved Donovan and Paisley in Arrogant playboy. The way they both can work each other up without much help… theres a fine line between love and hate they say. A fabulous read in the Cocky suits collection. Amazing xx
Swoon alert! This series does not disappoint!
The Cocky Suits Chicago is hands down one of my favourite recent reads. Sloane Howell and Alex Wolf writing together is something special. I enjoyed Donavan and Paisley’s story, it is full of anger and hate, sexual tension and passion. I cannot recommend this series or this book enough, you will not be disappointed (highly suggest you read the books in order though) I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
Donovan and Paisley were college sweethearts then split up. Now Donovan is a criminal lawyer and Paisley is back to work in the group. Paisley was his college love but she crushed his need to be number one. The two fight and are enemies but old feelings are still there between them. A really good read.
Loved this second chance romance. Arrogant is definitely a word to describe Donavan. Sloane and Alex saved the best for last. Loved Donavan and Paisley’s story. Yes, I laughed, cried and found myself telling at them at times but we’ll worth it in the end. Another great one Alex and Sloane, can’t wait for what is next!!
ARC received for honest review
This was my first book in the series. Donovan the youngest of four brothers. He has a chip on his shoulder as he feels, was never good enough.
He went to Columbia and wanted to be number one in his class, but lost to Paisley. They were a couple throughout college and at graduation he left with no explanation.
Now seven years later they meet again. She comes to work for his family firm. They are both angry with each other. Second chance at love how will it workout?
It’s all about family Donovan and Paisley. Chemistry between them are off the charts. Well written by Sloane and Alex.
The Cocky Suits Series just keeps getting better and better. With each brother you never know what to expect, how they will be or if you will even like them. Donovan was angry all the time and after reading his story he has become one of my favs, he is romantic, sexy as hell and just caring and you can’t help but feel his vibes and root for him in every way. I just wanted to hug him and be mad at him all at the same time. Paisley and Donovan made the perfect couple, they complimented each other well and were very similar in alot of ways. Loved this story and can’t wait to see what’s next for this series.
I didn’t expect all the feels with Arrogant Playboy, book four in the Cocky Suits Chicago series but man, did these two authors deliver them! This intense second chance romance between Donavan and Paisley had everything…laughter, tears, smoking hot chemistry, swoon worthy moments and more. Donavan is definitely the most intense, complicated brother out of all of them but Paisley gives him a run for his money. I enjoyed their story and cannot wait for more from these two authors!
Such an amazing story. Two people who had a relationship with a really strong bond in years past. The separation caused them to have a shield around their hearts. After years of being away, Paisley finds herself back in town to help take care of her dad and grandparents. Donavan is part owner of the law practice Paisley wants to get a job at while she’s back. But she has worked for a rival company. Donavan is also dealing with some personal family issues. You can feel every single bit of pain he goes through theoughout the book. You want to see Donavan and Paisley get back together most times. In other times you feel they’d be better off with out each other. This book was brilliantly written. I highly recommend Arrogant Playboy. Especially if you want to know what happens between them and what secrets they keep from each other. Bravo Sloan and Alex on another amazing book
Arrogant Playboy was another great read from Sloane & Alex. Donovan & Paisley had it all, anger, passion and really hot sex!!! I love this series!!
I love a good frenemy to lovers story. And Dovavan, well let’s just say I spent most of the time wanting to kick his a$$. Paisley is that ex that got away, the one he just couldn’t forget about, the one he hurt seven years ago.
Both Paisley and Donavan seem to be walking that fine line between love and hate while each keeping secrets of the past. And when the lines seem to blur nothing can stop these two from igniting in a blaze!
After seeing how difficult and arrogant and often with something to prove, in previous stories in the Cocky Suits series, I couldn’t wait to see how Donavan was going to manage to pull off winning Paisley over.
In true Alex Wolf and Sloane Howell form that I’ve become accustomed I couldn’t put it down! I laughed out loud, I wanted to punch someone, throw my kindle several times and got my awww moment while getting the HEA. Well done guys!
These two have done it again this series gets better and better with each book. They do not disappoint in their books at all.
Donovan’s story is a second chance romance but not with a bit of arrogance that comes with him. This story has it all the heartache sexual tension and a connection that Donovan and Paisley can’t deny. Their chemistry is off the charts and they balance each other even if they don’t want it to happen the connection is to strong.
Donovan is a man you will love and hate all in one. His arrogance and a bit of an a** he likes to drive you insane.
Paisley come waling back into Donovan’s life and a flood of emotions and memories come flooding back in. She is strong willed a successful individual she bust her butt off to get to where she is in her career. She is protective of those she loves and will do what ever it takes to protect them.
Paisley has some secrets she has left hidden. But one things for sure is that she can not leave Donovan and his hot sexy alpha dominate ways alone as much as she wants to. He will always be her weakness that she fights to only be drawn back in.
I have to say this may be my favorite book in this series so far. This book has it all and it tugs at the heart strings. You get all the feels and you want to root them on the whole book. This second chance romance was well written and keeps you wanting more. This baby Collins didn’t disappoint at all.
I love to hate Donovan and his cocky attitude that showed he was just so missed understood. It’s been 7 years since Paisley and Donavon were college sweethearts and he left her out of the blue. Can they put the past behind them and reveal all the secrets? You really must read to find out how it all ends for these two.
I’ve been a fan of this series since the beginning! Alex Wolf and Sloane Howell make an incredible writing team. I’ve read them both separately from each other and I gotta say, I think when they write together the stories are stronger. I’m hoping they continue to build on this world they have created with the Collins brothers or branch out into something else, I’m not pick!

Now that I’ve got that off my chest (lol) …. This story was more emotional than I was really prepared for. These guys managed to have my emotions all over the place with this one, but the emotion that stood out the most was the feeling of hope. Donavan and Paisley have serious hurdles to surpass from their past, but they also have individual stumbling blocks they have to navigate to get to that sweet spot we love to read in our romance novels 🙂 These guys did an amazing job of layering every plot point precisely as it should so as not to leave anything hanging. It all came together beautifully in the end. Do I wish there was a bit more depth to Donavan’s come to Jesus meeting with his family? Yeah, kinda, but it was just as good as it was so ….
OKAY! So yes, the story was passionate and sexy and emotional and really well done so I highly recommend it.
Arrogant Playboy by Sloane Howell and Alex Wolf left me feeling as if my cup runneth over with emotions. I was on the fence with Donavan Collins, I mean yes he’s sexy as all that and a bag of chips, I just couldn’t connect to him. The writing maestros that these authors are … pulled me in and I was swept off my feet leaving me/readers the best out of the Collins men. Donavan is the youngest out of the four Collins brothers, he has this need to be super competitive and stubborn as a mule. Donavan has made mistakes in his past, it’s how he handles his past when he comes face to face with it that had me thinking if he was going to be the unlikable handsome brother for me. I swear Howell and Wolf whipped up some magic and combined all of the qualities of his brothers which are cocky, possessive, and downright filthy and made Donnie my favorite brother. Underneath all that arrogance, it’s his heart and need of recognition that won me over. Bring on the tears and swoon-worthy moments when the Collins men come together.
Paisley walks back into Donavan’s life bringing back memories of the past for both of them. She is one strong-willed and beautiful woman. Paisley works hard to make it in a man’s world, it doesn’t help that Donavan played a big part in creating the woman that is now willing to be ruthless to protect those that she loves.
Arrogant Playboy is my favorite book from the Cocky Suits Chicago series, it has the heart that I miss with alpha men in a romance story. I love all of the characters in this series they bring in the laughs and the reminder of how important family is. Donavan and Paisley have this push and pull relationship but it’s their chemistry that is on fire and worth the risk of taking a second chance at love.
Read in one sitting!
I simply could not put down Donovan and Paisley’s story until the very last words! These two have a history that will break your heart and the reasoning behind all of Donovan’s antics since book 1 of this series was an “ah ha” moment that had my heart squeezing in my chest. Best of all was the make up scene which simply has to be read to understand how swoon worthy it was.
I read a free copy of this book and this is my honest and voluntary review.
“I just wanted both of us to smile, even if it’s for a few hours. This won’t end well, but I do it. I follow him, knowing one of us is bound to destroy the other.”
So, this is book 4, right? And with the other 3 books I was convinced that the featured Collins brother was my favorite, and I was soooooooo in love with Decker, or Deacon, or Dexter. Sorry boys, Baby Collins has bested you all!! Donovan Collins has my heart, hands down!!
Donovan Collins had a plan. One that included the love of his life. But he lost her – all because of his selfish pride. Now, eight years after making the worst decision of his life, she’s back and working at his firm. Paisley. Could they possibly have another chance at what they once had, or does she have an ulterior motive? Does he dare let his heart believe that their love can be rekindled or should he cut his losses and walk away? She just might make the decision for him.
Paisley Williams hates him. No, that’s not true. She loves him, but she WANTS to hate him. With family troubles hit, she has no choice than to return to Chicago and take a job with his firm. Can she work there and not let her heart make the rules? He’s even hotter than he was eight years ago,when he broke her heart and it’s all she can do not to give in to the urge to climb him like a tree. Maybe she can find some happiness, just for a little while, by giving in. Once he finds out what she’s done, she’ll lose him forever.
My heart absolutely broke for Donovan. I just wanted to wrap my arms around him and never let go. I loved this second-chance romance/office-romance/enemies-to-lovers story!! I really want to find this law firm full of hottie brothers. I’ll even take a job cleaning the toilets just to catch an eyeful!! If you haven’t read this series, definitely grab it and meet the Collins men!!
This book was a very enjoyable read with the well written storyline and well created characters that kept me totally captivated throughout the entire book!
