You haven’t seen naughty until your panties come off… My client’s younger sister is off-limits. Forbidden.Getting my first big client signed to the NFL was the second best moment of my life. Escorting his sister back to her hotel was the first. Imagining what she would feel like, look like, taste like—none of it was as good as the real thing.If her brother found out, it would destroy my … it was as good as the real thing.
If her brother found out, it would destroy my career, so I ended things between us.
Eight years later, the girl who got away still owns me.
First, I’ll make her forgive me, and then I’m going to make her mine.
He’s owned my body for far too long.
It’s been years since he touched me, and my skin still remembers every brush, stroke, and thrust. I want to forget how good it felt. Almost as much as I want to do it again.
We can’t finish what we started until I make my confession.
I have a secret—one that wasn’t mine to keep.
Before he can love me, he’ll have to find some way to forgive me.
There are four stand-alone books in this series:
Signed — Brett’s Book
Endorsed — Jack’s Book
Contracted — Max’s Book
Negotiated — Scarlett’s Novellamore
In Endorsed, Marni Mann takes us back to the world around The Agency. This is a standalone and can be read as such, but we first met Jack Hunt in Signed. This is a forbidden story about the younger sister he should stay away from, but can he?
Eight years ago, Jack and his friends were starting The Agency and were just starting to secure high profile clients. For Jack, it was Shawn Cole who was drafted to the Tennessee Titans. During the draft, he was attracted to and acted on it with Shawn’s younger sister, Samantha. But once ready to head back to LA, he realizes there is no future with her.
Samantha Cole was nineteen when she first met Jack, her brother’s agent. She was attracted to him and could not deny it. She had hoped for some kind of future with him, but he made it very clear there was no future when she attempted to reach out to him. So, she decided to never have anything to do with him ever again.
Because of how they left things, Samantha avoided so many of her brother’s games and events. Though this was hard on her, because of a secret she kept, she needed to keep distance from him. But now eight years later they are face-to-face again. Can they deny what is still there between them?
I have to say I really enjoyed Jack and Sam’s story. Though I did not like how Jack cut Samantha off originally, you could see why he did what he did, but when we see him eight years later, he was sweet, charming and caring. He wanted to see where this could go now. However, Sam wanted to keep Jack at a distance since she did not know if she could trust him again. In some ways she was so smart, strong and determined, but in others she was afraid. How would Jack react once the truth came out?
Endorsed was a quick and easy reed that was a bit angsty and a whole lot of sexy. I really liked the characters, seeing old friends and the story.
Happy reading!
When I had read Signed, i met The Agency & Four Sexy sharp partners- Jack Hunt, Brett & Jamie Ryne, Max and Scarlett. Tbh I had liked Signed, but wasn’t my most fave marni book, but now we have Endorsed to change my mind.
Things have a funny way of working out sometimes
I can assure you, it’s got Marni fabulousness. Sexy hotness and yet a lot of Heart. A perfect combo that makes a book memorable. There’s Jack Hunt and he is on the threshold of his successful career. Having bagged a prestigious contract for Shawn Cole, a now Titans tight end. Celebrations are in order and Jack knows how to paartaay!! Only glitch, his member has it’s own mind and it’s hungry & desperate for Samantha, Shawn’s baby sister.
All of 19, sweet & sexy and a body to kill for. Jack and Sam, have The most memorable 3 days in the sack, away from prying eyes of her family and his agency, cause it’s professional Suicide. They part on an unexpected note and Jack vows to keep his thing in his pants and feels buried deep in his heart.
Heartbroken they split, only to meet again 8 years later. Only now they’ve both grown older and wiser with lots of regrets between them
Samantha has a secret festering in her heart and Jack has repentance in his, life isn’t gonna be easy and that’s the crux of the story.
I loved this one more, angst and love, lust and passion, tears and turmoil. All bundled up neatly and seductively by Marni and served on a platter for is to devour. And I swallowed it fast , couldn’t keep the pages from turning, reading it in one swipe.
Now to wait for Scarlett or maybe Max book next ,Till then….
“see you later alligator”
“after awhile crocodile”

Holy Hell, if I really enjoyed Signed, then what do I even call what I felt reading Endorsed.
I can assure you that this book will suck you right in from the moment you start reading.
Marni Mann has become one of my go to authors because her books have slowly started to ingrain themselves in me. I just breeze through her books because they will capture your attention from the beginning and have it till the end.
This is going to be a favorite series of stand alones for me because these are about 4 best friends who own their agency and represent from top actors, models and athletes and I need to know how their personal lives will evolve with the rich and famous they represent and/or fall in love with.
Jack has had his eye on Samantha since the moment since the top pick for the NFL became his client and this client so happens to be Sam’s brother, who he knows is definitely a no-no because you can’t mix business with pleasure and/or screw up your first major contract with your top athlete.
When things don’t work out between Sam and Jack, they both move on and become very successful in their respective jobs. But when Sam’s brother is about to win the Super Bowl, she has no choice but to attend his game, even though she’s been avoiding them for the exact same reason of not wanting to bump into Jack. But it’s inevitable and it was bound to happen and it did after 8 years of not seeing each other.
Jack is instantly drawn to Sam and remembers ever curb and every spot on her body that was hard to forget to begin with and he hopes that they can rekindle what they left behind 8 years ago.
Sam has a secret that she doesn’t want revealed. What will happen when Jack finds out??
I totally breezed thought this book and if I liked Signed, I totally loved Endorsed. Now I’m anxiously awaiting Max’s story next.
If you like fast paced, then this is a good book for you!

I love to read about the characters I met before in books, but also I loved the blurb of this one, I love second-chance love stories.
Jack and Samantha met when their lives where taking different paths. Samantha was studying college and Jack was starting his career as agent, he couldn’t risk losing his first big client, not even for the beautiful girl he spent a great time with. Dating your little sister’s first big client is not a good way to start your career as agent and not when their lives where as far as the other side of the country as it was.
It’s been 8 years and Jack can’t forget the night he spent with Samantha, now he is in a different moment of his life and he now knows what he wants and he is willing to take a the risk to be with the girl that changed his life.
Samantha has been trying to avoid everything related with his brother, mainly everything related with his agent… but she can’t forget the man that made her feel special, not even after the way he dumped her.
Both of them have things that need to be forgiven so they can have another chance at their love. It won’t be easy but it will be worth it.
Both characters were great and I could understand both sides of the story, it wasn’t easy for them but only time knows when it’s s the best moment to start something. Their relationship was something sweet to see them building it… again, because even when there were hard feelings, there was also love.
4 Look at those Hands Stars!!
***Read Laura’s warning before diving into this book***
Have your Sham-Wow panties clean and ready to go before reading this one!!!
Young and just signed his first big time NFL player, Agent Jack Hunt is loving his career right about now. At 23, he is learning how to deal with holding down his job and becoming successful at what he does. When his first ‘client’ has a 19 yr old sister that is smoking hot… He finds the time to spend some quality time with her.
Listening to his peers, cut all ties with the sister is what is best. Can’t risk losing a client over sleeping with the sister!!!
Samantha Cole is the 19 yr old hot sister. She has spent the past 3 days with the older, more mature Jack. Three days and she has fallen hard for him. He was nothing like the boys back in college, that’s for sure!!!
Now 8 years later, everyone has grown up. Can the breakup that happened so many years ago still be flaming? Or has the time allowed both to grow up and move on?
The two are good together…the sheets, the car, you name it… these two can make use of every environment they are tossed into. Shifting gears, not a problem.
Enjoyed this easy flowing, somewhat predictable book!
