What another addictive read from this author. From start to finish this book was intense and emotional. I loved Landon, you could feel his grief and I just wanted him to get his HEA. He was a strong and determined man and that alone made him very attractive. Vivi was a beautiful caring character, they are perfect together. I will be honest I was in team Tanner at first, but at the end of the day she didn’t actually do anything wrong.
As usual, this author writes beautiful books, her story telling is addictive, her writing is engaging and the characters are always perfect. Hope there are lots more stories to come.
Carly Phillips has done it again!!!! Another phenomenal addition to this series and a must read for sure! Now, I know that it says it can be read as a stand alone, however I HIGHLY recommend reading this series in order just so you really get a feel for what is happening in this story. There is A LOT of drama that happens, especially in book 2 that will give you a different perspective to how the characters are feeling in book 3.
This book has it all! A great story line, our favorite amazing characters and of course some hot steamy moments because the chemistry between Vivi and Landon is off the charts.
I am so excited for Landon to finally get his story and believe me, you are going to want to one click this ASAP!

With Landon’s partners finding their other halves and starting new things, it was only time till Landon finds his. Lust at first sight but it’s who her family is that might have Landon Bennett running the other way. Vivienne Zane is the new hottest signer to hit New York and the TEN29 club wants her to headline for the summer. Can Vivi prove that she not her brother and that she and Landon having something worth fighting for?
Carly Phillips has written another swoon-worthy fast-paced romance that you won’t be able to put down. Really looking forward to reading the novella connected to this series.
Oh my goodness! This one is the culmination of this series and WOW it was the best one yet. I didn’t think it was possible but each one got better and I would suggest you read each book in order. Landon had a twin who died in college and the three friends left opened a night club and named it Ten29 after the date he died, so they would never forget. Now, ten years later, their club is thriving but missing something and Landon suggests they hire a resident singer for the summer, an upcoming star. Vivi fits in and the chemistry between her and Landon is phenomenal and not expected. It doesn’t take long until they come together and soon she figures out who he is and she has a secret. Will the secret that she is the sister of the man who killed his brother pull them apart or will what they have survive? This one took me by surprise and had me emotional and I will say I found myself in tears, good tears, but it happened. A happy ending does come about, of course, and it was beautiful. I highly recommend this one!
This was a good one and one I’ve been looking forward to. Knowing the back story of the name of the club I’ve been waiting for Landon’s story. I want him to get a HEA with everything that’s happened he deserves one. Now to say who his love interest is in this book was an unexpected twist is an understatement. Vivi is a great character and you see how much heart and compassion she has. She’s been living in the shadow of guilt of what her brother has done and it’s effecting her future. You can tell right off the bat Vivi and Landon have a ton of chemistry. This is quite an emotional story. There is a lot of healing for everyone in this one. I could’t put it down.
Landon and Vivi have combustible chemistry and sparks explode from the moment they meet. Landon’s club provides Vivi the perfect stage to rocket her singing career to stardom and the huge crowds Vivi brings to the club will help them to recoup losses incurred during attacks on the owners and the property.
Landon and Vivi’s relationship adds an almost insurmountable obstacle to the future of the club and the ghosts of the past. I loved how the suspense story arc overlying the entire series is resolved with this book.

Loved this book! Landon, who has been lost after losing his twin brother to a hazing accident in college, believes he will never have happiness or love again. But one meeting with Vivi, and he is lost to her. Vivi is a perfect match for him. But the twist in this plot, is something you will not believe. Another great book in this series, one you won’t want to miss.
This was a great ending to this series. This story doesn’t have as much action as the other 2 did, it’s more of a internal battle for these 2. I knew Landon was going to be a more emotional read, and it was. Not only was he closed off to love, but the woman he falls for has a connection to him that he wasn’t expecting. I liked Vivi and thought she was a great character. I can understand why she would fell guilt for something that she didn’t do, I would’ve been the same way. Not only did Landon and Vivi have to work through their issues, the rest of his family and friends had to deal with their own feelings on their relationship. Everything works out in the end, and Landon and Vivi get their HEA.

Better than Sexy is a brutally beautiful tale! Fate is such a fickle creature, who else would have you falling for the same man who’s twin was killed by your own brother? Even knowing what was most likely to come in this story (from reading the previous books), I was not emotionally prepared for how the characters would still haunt me even after finishing. I loved the chemistry between Landon and Vivi, and the anticipation of when the truth would be discovered, let alone the fallout from it, kept me on my toes and unable to put the book down! A wonderful addition to the Sexy Series and I can’t wait until the next one. **While this can be read as a stand alone, it’s more enjoyable if you read the series in order, as they refer to the outcome and events from previous characters and books.

Better than Sexy is my first book read by Carly Phillips. Better than Sexy is the story, Vivi and Landon and is the third book on the series Sexy by Carly Phillips, but you can read this book as standalone.
Vivi is a musician and she dreams to have own world tour and to be a musician to her job permanently. She wants to leave behind her past because she is more than her brother’s actions. When Landon offered her, the chance to sing at his popular club, she knew that is her opportunity to realize her dreams. But, when she realized that her brother killed Landon’s twin she wanted to refuse his offer but Landon convinced her to help him to get people to his club again.
When Landon sees Vivi singing for the first time he was instantly attracted to her and wanted to her to sing in his club. When they meet for the first time, they were really attracted to each other.
Listen to me, Vivienne Zane. You are my happiness. And we’re stronger together. So from now on, we’re a team.
But, both of them had to ask themselves if their feelings are more powerful than their past. They have to fight for their relationship and to convince the people around them, that they love each other and that only together they can be happy.
Don’t you see? She’s not her brother. I want you to get to know her and judge her for who she is. Not who she’s related to.
I liked that Vivi and Landon fight for their relationship. I loved that Landon doesn’t judge for her brother’s actions. Landon, he sees her for she is and loves her. Better than Sexy was a sweet love story.
This is the third book in the Sexy Series and I think my favorite by far. Seeing Landon falling for Vivi is everything. After all the pain and loss from his past it’s amazing he could ever feel like that but he does. It happens hard and fast. The problem is Vivi has a tie to that past pain and loss, one she can’t change or help and try as she might to stay away from Landon to save him more pain she just can’t.
Like the other books in this series this is a insta love story and I insta loved it too. It’ both hot and emotional and I couldn’t put it down. What a great ending to the trio of books about these super hot and alpha men.
I received an advanced copy of this book for a honest review.
This was my first Carly Phillips’ book and it won’t be my last because I ADORED it! I literally devoured it in a few hours, I couldn’t take my eyes off my Kobo for a second.
Carly’s a genius, she manages to describe complicated situations using a few words – her clarity is admirable and her conciseness is what makes this book so enjoyable.
I like the characters because they are real, I can really feel their emotions and what they’re going through.
There so much chemistry between Landon and Vivi, when they are in the same room you can feel the spark and how much they love each other.
And love is the key to this story – they shouldn’t be together, but they fight tooth and nail to get their happily ever after.
If insta-love is your favorite trope, don’t hesitate to buy this book and dive in to read it, you’ll enjoy the journey.

Better Than Sexy is book 3 in the sexy series by Carly Phillips as we go back to Club TEN29 with Landon and Vivi.

What happens next will keep you on the edge of your seat to find out if the past will tear them apart or if faith has something else in mind…to heal both our hearts and find their HEA together!
This one is the third book in the Sexy Series and I’m super excited because I knew this one will be more complicated.
The tragic past, the frustration, the hesitation, yup it is a complex story and totally enjoyed it cover to cover.
Kinda predictable though and I kinda loss the sparks between Landon and Vivi, they bring the steaminess alright but it just felt something is missing, still root for this couple though, but my fav couple is still Tanner and Scarlett in this series.
If you’re looking for sweet steamy romance read, this book is definitely it.
Carly Phillips stories are short but have sass! She will bring up the heat with Better than Sexy. I completely adored the characters and was happy to visit with others from previous books. We got hot nights in the club and so much more behind closed doors. There are other thrills you will get and I promise you will be glued to each page! Get this book NOW!
This book is amazing. I love everything about Landon and Vivi’s story. This story is romantic, funny, steamy and a little sad. I enjoy reading this book a lot. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This turned out to be one of my favorites in this series. Landon doesn’t believe in love at first sight but Vivi is more than he expected. Vivi is a wonderful singer that Club TEN29 hires to perform for the summer, but as time goes on Vivi realizes the horrible connection that she shares with Landon. You really hope they can get thru the struggles they endure to get to there happily ever after. Great ending to a wonderful series.
I don’t know how she does it but Carly Phillips writes these books that suck you into the life of the characters. The story of Vivi and Landon is no different. Sparks fly the instant they meet and not even her past can keep them apart. Great read!
Landon and Vivi’s love story in Better Than Sexy, book three in The Sexy series by Carly Phillips is another winner. Ms. Phillips once again gives us a protective alpha male hero falling in love at first sight as well as a very emotional story dealing with the siblings of our hero and heroine. In addition, this breathtakingly beautiful love story contains so many feelings, tragedy, turmoil, secrets, heartbreak, a bit of humor, off the charts chemistry, forgiveness, and lots of steamy scenes.
Ms. Phillips wrote a wonderful, emotional and sexy story that will pull at your heartstrings and is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, and endearing characters giving Landon and Vivi a chance for happiness, love and the possibility for future together. I highly recommend Better Than Sexy to other readers.
