January 1st, 2019The journey has begun—in the frozen north. All the way to Canada to meet my first Billionaire Bachelor. Joshua Curtis. Dark hair. Beyond hot. An artist?How in the world do you make a billion dollars in art? I’m clearly in the wrong business. This new journey is thrilling. Scratch that. Terrifying. What does he expect from me? Or think of me? Probably that I’m a cookie-cutter … me? Or think of me?
Probably that I’m a cookie-cutter version of everyone else on their long list of “must-have” qualities. Yikes. He’s about to get a lovely wake up surprise.
Like signing up for a purebred horse and getting delivered a half-ass donkey. Ha!
I’ll just keep my cool and breathe deeply. It’s just a month.
It doesn’t matter. I have to keep my eye on the prize.
There’s a million dollars at the end of the road waiting for me. And it has the power to fix everything.
I got this. I think. Oh hell, I have no clue what I’m doing.
But I just have to survive the month, and then the months after that, and I’ll be right where I need to be.
Accepting the check from Jackson Lee at the end of the year.
Then I’ll walk away. No regrets. Or will I?
What if he’s romantic? The kind of guy that lives out of love and isn’t shy about it?
Oh man. Please let him NOT be that guy. I can’t fight against that kind of guy.
This year is about money and helping the family.
After it’s over, I’ll fall in love. Unless I do before it ends. Ugh.

After finishing Joshua, Book 2 of the Casanova Club Series by Ali Parker, all I can say is WOW! I am simply speechless after being fully engaged reading Joshua, Book 2. It was an amazing, wonderful, yet heartbreaking, addition to this series. If Piper, Book 1 & Joshua, Book 2 are anything to judge the remaining books of the Casanova Club Series by, Ali Parker’s readers are in for one awe-inspiring, romantic, steamy, sexy, ride and I for one can’t wait. I am not real patient & originally I thought I would have no issue with one book would be released each month until the series is complete but now after these two books, the wait as each additional book is released over the next year seems like cruel & unusual punishment. I am aware that it seems to long to wait & definitely not looking forward to waiting for Book 3, Easton especially with how Easton was portrayed in Book 1, Piper. This next year + is going to be one wild ride for Ali Parker readers and I can’t stress how much I recommend one-clicking ever book of the Casanova Club series, not only Joshua, Book 2 but Piper, Book 1 as well as all future releases for this series because let’s face it, Ali Parker is one talented and amazing writer & the bachelorette style Casanova Club Series is one brilliant series, Ali Parker your writing & characters are always fantastic & in Joshua Book 2, the characters & writing can be referred to as simply the best of the best from Ali.
While I did receive an advanced copy from the author, I also purchased the books for my Kindle library and I am voluntarily leaving my voluntary opinion with this review.
This was a captivating, heartwarming, and passionate story of discovering feelings unknown before and trying to find a way to better one’s future. Piper is a young woman attempting to better her family’s business and future and Joshua a young artist who wants to settle down and have love. The Casanova Club: Joshua was filled with flirtatious banter, wit, laughter, heartache, doubts, fear, passion, and love. Ali Parker has created a great well written story of discovering wanting different things from someone else is not selfish. Wonderful characters that readers will fall in love with. I absolutely loved reading this book and I’m really excited to read the rest of . the series.

Book 2: Joshua
5 stars
Sweet and steamy with pictures descriptions, a travelog of 1800’s Quebec and modern tourist points, and a poignant ending. January finds Piper away from her family for the first time and in Canada with a strong attraction to artist Joshua Curtis.
Book 3: Easton
4 stars
A highly steamy reformation of an alpha male romance with a poignant ending. Both Piper and egocentric, crass Miami Dolphins quarterback Easton start out February biased against each other and with Piper missing Joshua but, a day out on the ocean changes both their opinions. I enjoyed the softening of Easton’s personality but not the fact that Piper could jump from Joshua’s bed into Easton’s while still professing feelings for Joshua.
Loved Joshua.
Could put it down. Love the series
4 stars
I have purchased a copy of the steamy collection The Casanova Club books 1-3 by Ali Parker and this review was given freely.
The 14 book collection contains the stories of twelve of the world’s most eligible billionaire bachelors who form a private matchmaking “Club” where they choose 10 potential matches who are then whittled down to one woman that the men must then each court for a month in 2019 with an end goal of marriage or the woman receives a million dollars. This three book set introduces us to the characters and provides us with the months December 2018- February 2019 where Piper and the men form close relationships and the lines between love,friendship and earning money for her family blur.
Book 2: Joshua
5 stars
Sweet and steamy with pictures descriptions,a travelog of 1800’s Quebec and modern tourist points, and a poignant ending. January finds Piper away from her family for the first time and in Canada with a strong attraction to artist Joshua Curtis.
One man down, and eleven to go, as the way of the Casanova Club. Piper will be spending one month with each wealthy bachelor, until decisions have to be made at the end of the year. The month of January is spent with Joshua, an artist from Canada. First, I felt like I experienced Canada with Piper, all through the words of author, Ali Parker. Second, the connection that Piper and Joshua had was so strong. It was beautiful reading and experiencing their time together, as they got to know each other. Was it a happy ending, or not? It was if you consider the strong feelings that they both had developed for each other, but now, Piper will be on to the next man for the next month, which I can’t wait to read. I have really enjoyed the first two books in this series. I highly recommend them.
I’m looking forward to the remaining 10 or 11 stories. and finding out what Piper chooses – the money or a marriage proposal… Josh looks like a contender for the latter!
What a great start. The chemistry and passion between Joshua and Piper was sizzling. I can’t wait to read about the rest of Piper’s journey. Great book. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
The second book in the series of the Casanova Club. It is a standalone but has some references to the first which I liked. A girl has to meet twelve bachelors. One new each month.
A very well written story about Joshua. The perfect book bookboyfriend. Very strong character. Hot and steamy in the sheets but romantic from the heart when it comes to his woman. He is alpha but also dreaming of a future with love. Absolutely not a man you let go of when you have caught him.
A captivating and sweet romance that kept me on the edge. I had to read it in one sitting because I just had to know what happened next.
A series that reminds me a lot of Calender Girl but it is also different and I love these differences.
Absolutely looking forward to read the next book. Cannot wait for it.
Cover is one of the hottest I have seen in a long time.
This is the second book in the Casanova Club Series by the Best Selling author, Ali Parker and it’s one series that I am going to be anticipating every book with glee. In this book, Piper spends her first month with one of the billionaires. She heads for French Canada and meets the gorgeous Joshua. He is everything she could want ion a friend, lover and partner in life and so much more. He’s a gentleman, a talented artist and, yes, he does paint a portrait of her but that’s all I’m giving away. Piper is very confused and worried about what she has agreed to do for the next twelve months and is not really sure that she’s doing the right thing! her mum and dad aren’t contacting her and she is so upset about that although she does keep in contact with her brother and her best friend who helped her get a chance to do this scheme. She is met by Joshua at the airport and he takes her to one of the most wonderful hotels in Quebec that you could wish for and she stays there for most of the month. Only leaving when they visit his parents, and go to see Toronto and Niagara Falls. I don’t envy Piper this journey as it would be oh so easy to fall in love with Joshua but there are eleven more to stay with [two of which I’d want to give a pass as they were not especially appealing when she met all the men. Emotions get involved as Piper is such a good and nice person who is very realistic and believable who tends to wear her heart on her sleeve as they say. Does she want to see Joshua again? Does she think that he is The One for her or is she going ahead with her plan? Will Joshua try to persuade her to wait for him? To fins out you’re going to have to do the same as me and enjoy the journey as Piper spends her next eleven months with more billionaires ready to win her heart! I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
OMG Ali you have don’t it again.
I am so in love with the Sexy, Dreamy Joshua.
WOW I couldn’t put this book down. I don’t know how I’m going to survive til the end of the series to find out what Piper does.
He is such a dreamboat and the way he treated Piper was truly wonderful. The perfect Gentleman that Piper needed to begin her journey.
I will say I cried at the end because I felt the sadness for them both.
I know she has to go through with the other 11 Billionaires but “sorry” I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Joshua.
AMAZING…if this is how the entire Series of Casanova Club is going to go down then I am so in. The month of Piper Sullivan and James Curtis was just breathtaking and at the end left you a little breathless. Waiting with baited breathe for the next edition.
The writing was so magnificently done and the storyline is extraordinary. This entertaining second installment will have your heart beating faster and make you weak in the knees. I absolutely loved Joshua and Piper and could not get enough of them. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
The continuing Saga of the Casanova Club..Joshua is Mr January..now what is Piper going to do…I had to read this book straight through and loved every minute of it..Ali really describes where they are..so you learn a lot about the cities or remember them if you’ve been there before…too bad Joshua was January because now he has to wait a year for Piper to make her decision….11 more men to go…who’s in February??? I cant wait for the next book
A heavenly start for a crazy journey
Piper, part-time student and full-time Jane of all at her family’s restaurant, goes to Canada and Joshua, a successful artist and millionaire, to spend the first of twelve months away from her family for her time as the Casanova Club girl of the year. As the story progresses they both realize that they were not prepared for the reality of their participation in the bachelorette type of event, especially once their time is finished. Ali Parker has done an amazing job of providing a visually and emotionally charged read for Piper’s first bachelor. The emotional connection between the Piper and Joshua, her descriptions of the locations visited and the realistic view of the relationship has me wanting more. Joshua being the first of twelve bachelors has set the bar pretty high for the rest of the series and is a heavenly start for a crazy journey.
I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.
Wow this book get so hot you may need a cold shower I absolutely could not get enough of this I was hooked from the first page great writing job bravo loved it and if anyone is looking a steamy wonderful read then add this one to your list you will not be disappointed I wasn’t I loved it

Omg I already fell for Joshua and am rooting for Piper to choose him and he’s just the first one of 12 bachelors! They had great chemistry and attraction between them and Joshua is definitely swoon worthy. For me, they were just perfect together and I hope their feelings and attraction will survive the next 11 months. I don’t know how Ali will top this one but we are definitely in for a great series and a roller coaster of emotions!

Joshua: The Casanova Club #2 is a great month for Piper and Joshua. It’s romantic, he’s a hot, sexy billionaire who lives in Canada. But can Piper walk away. How is she going to get thru 11 more months of different bachelors. OMG!! How will I?! I have voluntarily read this advanced readers copy.
Joshua and Piper’s share an amazing romance. Piper goes to Quebec to spend her first month with Joshua. the two hit it off and have great chemistry. Not sure what the author has in store for the next 11 months, but if its anything like this first book It will be amazing!!!
