He’s ruthless. And he won’t stop until he has her right where he wants her …
Luna LaRoux has poured her heart and soul into her waterfront bar and restaurant, which has the best sunsets in Key West. The only problem is, Luna’s best friend and business partner Josie is having money problems, and with twins on the way, Josie has no choice but to sell her half of the business. Actually, it’s 51%.… of the business. Actually, it’s 51%.
Gage McCabe is spending the weekend in Key West when he happens to overhear an interesting conversation. Between a very-pregnant majority shareholder and her stunningly beautiful–and deliciously desperate–business partner.
Gage can’t resist. The bar is obviously a thriving business, and his new partner will just have to get used to him calling the shots … if she doesn’t kill him first. It’s this detail that frustrates him the most: she seems entirely immune to his charms. Unheard of. Gage is so sure of his own allure, he bets Luna his share that she’ll surrender to him within a month–or the bar is hers.
Perfect. All Luna has to do is resist his drop-dead gorgeous looks, his smug charisma and his impressive … endowments, then she’ll be rid of him for good. Easy, right?
Arrogant Player is a sexy standalone enemies-to-lovers romance starring an alpha playboy and the one woman he can’t control … or stay away from.

Characterizations: A Marvel To Experience Such Range Of Growth – 5 Stars
First off, great title for this novel Ms. Capulet! These words personify the essence of the main male character, to begin with. This was a delight to watch the main male character metamorphosis the more time he spent around the main female character. It is very interesting to watch how this character was written and how over the course of the novel, his maturation was phenomenal. The main male character, once unblocked, was the means by which the main female character was able to heal herself. She changed and grew during the course of this story as well. Not many authors show this range of growth with their characters in their novels, so this was great to experience this maturation on the part of both the main male and main female characters. The story was great, well written, with good timing. I liked the three epilogues as well; they really just closed the door on this story and gave me the closure I wanted. As well, we were introduced to more of the main main character’s family, that sets the tone for a spin-off series.
Well done! Good Stuff! Highly recommended reading!

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. This was so great the story of Gage and Luna. Gage really likes Luna but he does not want to get to close arrogant and distant. He brought half of the shares to be partnered with Luna. Luna owns a waterfront bar and restaurant, she had shared it with a friend and then her friend sold her share to Gage now he and Luna are partners.

Gage is one arrogant man but Luna has no way of resisting. What starts off as her hating him, turns quickly into passionate nights and days. I couldn’t put it down. As much as I wanted to dislike Gage, I could see why he was the way he was. It was only a matter of time before they each got under their skins. This is steamy, funny, sexy, and such a great read.
Good romance
Very good romance with good characters, even if the hero, Gage, evolves quickly against Luna and suddenly he loses his arrogant and rough side to become more considerate. It’s simple, tender, but quite hot.
To help her friend Josie, Luna is forced to accept the sale of most of her business to Gage, a very wealthy man, who does so, only to get closer to her, but Luna is not ready for whatever relationship.

The McCabe series had been nothing short of amazing, and this 3rd book was nothing short of amazing. This author did a great job with the conclusion to this series. Gage was amazing, and his parent’s death took a toll on him. Although he does not believe in true love, it all changes when he meets Luna. Luna is convinced things could never go anywhere with Gage, but he will prove her wrong on this amazing story. I loved how well written these characters were and how much they developed along the book. I loved the ending to this series, and we got a small hint of characters from the next series, and I can’t wait to read those.
This is a well written book. The characters are likable, well developed and relatable. The story is good; realistic and not overly dramatic. I enjoyed reading this book.

This is a short read and it seems like the whole book takes place over Thanksgiving weekend. When I first started reading this book, I would have gladly helped Luna smack the arrogant smirk Gage’s face, he was such an bully with the sole purpose of getting her in bed. How dare she not fall all over him ? I loved Gage’s inner dialogue through out the book as he comes to terms with the fact that it might be more than lust. He does redeem himself at the end. Luna’s sad backstory was heartbreaking and i was happy to see her character grow and learn to trust again. The storyline was cute and the characters well written, the inner dialog sets this book apart from other insta-love type books. I enjoyed the book and I’m sure you will too.

Yep! Arrogant is just the beginning. Gage is Arrogant, Amazing and Astute! Not only in business but in life also. He has built himself a fortune by buying up failed or soon to be failing businesses and he is not one to be messed with. He is the oldest of the three McCabe brothers and he is the most Arrogant one to. Hence the title! Luna is a great addition to this man. She is well rounded and a bit naïve but through it all she is a complete match to this alpha. It is recommended that you read this series in order but it is not necessary as all three of these books an be read as standalones. I enjoyed the chemistry between these characters and it flowed really well. I enjoyed this book and the author is one that I will be looking into in the future. .

An entertaining enemies-to-lovers story. Despite having chemistry off the charts from the instant they meet the two main characters, Luna and Gage, seem oblivious to it. Gage accepts it first, but he has baggage and a bad reputation to overcome. The characters and the plot have plenty of depth to them, making this a really great read.

Luna (FMC) and Gage are the complete opposite of each other. Which becomes more apparent when the millionaire & arrogant playboy decides to buy Luna’s friends Josie half of their bar. With only one reason he does it and its not for a good drink or their clientele. So they both clash. Starting a battle of wills between the two of them. The romantic in me couldnt help but want these two to get together. I loved how Gage helped Josie (Luna’s Friend) out. That was pretty sweet of him and changed my whole opinion of him. This is a good read even though its not a long book. Its certainly worth a read
The story line was good, the character work was terrific and the book had a fairly smooth flow to it. This was another great addition to the series and I was entertained from beginning to end.

Another fantastic read by Ms. Capulet!! I couldn’t put this steamy read down!! This book is extremely well written!!! I LOVE Gage McCabe
This is the 3rd book, in The McCabe Brothers Series. It is about the oldest brother, Gage.
This is Gage and Luna’s story…..
Luna, the co owner of a seaside bar and restaurant, runs into a jam!! Her co owner and partner, has to sell her share, due to an unexpected pregnancy.
Enter 27 year old, Gage, who overhears the conversation, and buys up the share. Gage, and his brothers, lost their parents 5 years ago. Each brother grieves their deaths in their own way. Gage becomes a playboy and business man.
Gage is taken with Luna, and wants to finally pursue a real relationship, but Luna is hesitant due to Gage’s playboy reputation.
Even though Gage and Luna have hot chemistry, will Luna finally give into Gage, and change his playboy ways??
You’ll have to come and see
Oh Gage – that mouth! It’s no wonder he has more than his share of female admirers. It’s not just his well honed talents, it’s his masculine perfection that he’s so arrogantly aware of and knows how to use. He’s actually a bit bored with women falling at his feet eager to accept his emotionless encounters even if just for one night.
Lightning strikes the confirmed “one and done” bachelor when his eyes first meet Luna’s. But she’s not able to give herself willingly to a man that has his past given her past. Even so, she must struggle to resist him.
This book is really a wonderful love story. The best part is seeing Gabe understanding what his parents meant by being in love. Julie Capulet created complex characters that she carefully unwrapped do we could feel the depth of their pain, devotions and finally, love for one another. I hope a Josie/Noah book is in the works. Their story looks so perfect, too.

Julie Capulet has written another fantastic read with Arrogant Bastard! This is the story of Luna LaRoux, owner of a seaside bar and restaurant who is left in a dilemma when her co-owner has to sell her half of the business due to an unexpected pregnancy, and Gage McCabe, playboy and businessman who overhears the conversation with the co-owner and becomes the new partner of the bar. Sizzling chemistry flares between these characters from the first time they meet. While Gage plans to pursue Luna, she feels a relationship with him will go nowhere due to his reputation. I highly recommend this well written and wonderful enemies to lovers romance with its heartfelt characters and a plot which keeps your interest from the first to final page of this wonderful book.
I received a free arc in return for a voluntary and honest review.
I enjoyed Gage & Luna’s book. The characters are well developed and engaging with loads of chemistry. This was a short but well written read. I received a free copy of the book and am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
What a beautiful and romantic book!! This is the third book in the McCabe Brothers series and it’s my favorite. I love Gage. There is something about him. Luna is one lucky lady. I loved them together. I enjoyed this book so much.
I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.
This arrogant bastard! And he was …. before he met Luna.
He laughed at his brothers when they fell in love with their girlfriends, never wanted to be like his father who built his world around his mother and left life after his wife died. Gage just took what life threw him, and it was mostly women that he used for pleasure.
And then ….. he sees Luna and goes crazy!
He cannot get her out of his mind and is looking for a way to get into her life. After 1 day he already knows for sure, he loves her!
Luna has had a very bad experience with a man who thinks he can get what he wants. This means that she keeps Gage at a distance until she realizes that she will not succeed. Gage is so generous and caring that she soon realizes that he is a man she can trust with her heart.
A great book about the oldest McCabe brother who only saw that love leads to a broken heart and never wanted to experience it. Besides the fact that this book was super romantic, it also often gave me a smile on my face. Especially with the internal dialogues Gage had with his own conscience. Rationally he did not want anything with love, but his heart was stronger.
A must read, highly recommended!
OMG…this book was absolutely amazing. Julie Capulet hit the golden buzzer with this one. I couldn’t put the book down. Gabe McCabe and Luna LaRoux were super characters. This book was about two people that have never experienced love and have valid reasons for avoiding it at all costs. This book was well-written and a true treasure. I highly recommend.
The McCabe brothers are truly swoon worthy. Look out ladies is here comes Gage and Luna is not going to know what hit her when he swoops and pulls no stops wooing her!
Gage has been known to be quite the man whore but he is just trudging through life try to feel. When he lost his parents in a tragic accident it left him with more than just a whole in his heart it left him broken and unable to love, feel the spark or want the connection. The moment he lays eyes on Luna something inside him warms and begins to heal. This man could give the world and he may now have reason to believe and learn to love again. He is overwhelm these emotions and once he reigns them in he uses them for good….so much good !
Luna is a loner except for her very best friend she does not need or rely on anyone. When a smooth talking arrogant business tycoon steps up and tries to purchase half of her business she will need more that talk for him to prove himself. Luna has so many doubts when is comes to Gage’s intentions but she is about to see this Arrogant Man for all the beauty and selflessness that he has to offer. I loved watching their story unfold . What a fabulous read!
