Max Black is a rebel with a heart of gold.I notice him as soon as he walks into my restaurant. Of course I do. He’s buff as hell, with tattoos and a dark, pirate-king vibe. He’s wearing a black leather jacket over his business shirt. And he’s the sexiest man I’ve ever seen.He’s also wearing one of those criminal cuffs on his left wrist.Just what I don’t need. A rich bad boy with rage issues. It’s … rich bad boy with rage issues. It’s scary enough that one of my customers has turned into a stalker.
But when the stalker follows me home one night, it’s him who shows up exactly when I need him to — the gorgeous blue-eyed stranger who could be either the devil or a saint.
And there’s more to Max Black than I could have ever imagined. Turns out the worst kind of bad boy can also be the most beautiful savior. He’s scarred by his dark past, but underneath the tough exterior is the biggest … heart. And the tenderest soul. He’s a renegade angel and a white knight. And the one true love of my life.
Max is a spin-off from the I Love You series and is a sexy standalone story.

Until next time… Happy Reading!
As the youngest of the Black brothers, Max always seems to get the raw end of the deal so when he is arrested for insider trading and has to spend three months under house arrest he has time to make a few changes. The first is to find the person who set him up and get his freedom back. The second is to try and get the one woman he ever had more than a moment with out of his mind. But with the help of apple pie and the need to help her out of a bad situation, Max finds he cannot seem to stop thinking about Peach. Will he have the same luck with his instant attraction? Or will she become annoying like all the others that have come before her? I fell in love with Max during Rafe and Lexi’s story and I was so happy to see him get his own book. To watch the might fall in love and allow someone else into his nightmares was a joy to read. Turning the black knight into a loveable teddy bear was just perfect!!
I’m having a hard time letting go of Max & Peach & their journey! I have read their story at least twice fully along with my favorite parts way more than twice.
Max & Peach were imperfectly perfect for each other. I absolutely adored them and going on their journey.
Julie Capulet delivered an amazing story that had plenty of heart along with some drama. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
I highly recommend Max and the entire I Love You series!
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
Super Hot Insta Love!!
Max is a one and done kind of guy until he sees Peach then he becomes obsessed.
I’m in that hot gypsy-pirate’s apartment. Max Black. Maximillian Apollo Black, to be exact.
Peach just started her own business she doesn’t have time for anything else until Max rescues he.
She doesn’t pull away. She whispers, “Am I hurting you, Max?” “No. You’re fixing me.”
The perfect combination of suspense moments and sexy love story.
“You’re a dream come true,” he says. “My Georgia girl.”
“You act all tough. You look all tough. But you’re gooey and sweet on the inside, like a big roasted marshmallow.”
I just can’t get enough of the author and her beautiful romance stories. Now on to Rafe and Lexi!!
#BillionaireRomance #InstaLove #AlphaHero #WoundedHero #HealingLove
Max is a bit of a bad boy. But underneath his exterior is really a gooey marshmallow heart that melts as soon as he meets Peach. I love that he really does not understand why he is feeling all these feelings. He has a traumatic history, baggage, and the nightmares to go with it. He never thought he would ever feel love, but with Peach, it is instant. I love the connection they build so quickly. I love that they open up to each other and that Max feels a compunction to share his history with her. I love his desire to protect and take care of her. These two characters pack some serios heat in their story. I love Peach and her supportive and gentle nature with Max. They are both facing threats that they conquer together. Their HEA is the stuff dreams are made of. Roses, peaches, pie, plantations, and greenhouses are central as they build their family and future together. Their story is written in first person from a dual POV.
I’ve been dying to meet the sexy and mysterious Max Black for quite a while now and my lucky day has finally come! If you are a fan of Julie Capulet’s, then you know her intense leading men are all alpha, all the time…they just can’t help themselves…gotta love that..I know I do! They see what they want and go straight for it, whether in business or with true love in the making!
An unfortunate twist brings Max to his knees, falsely accused of something he didn’t do, which could ruin his life completely. While he’s trapped within a small radius and a court ordered tracking device on his wrist, destiny intervenes in the form of a tempting beauty, running her restaurant around the corner from his home. He tries and fails to forget everything little thing about her…after all, he’s not worthy of love with all that darkness in his past but she keeps turning up anyway…fate wanted a happy ending and so did I!
“…I feel the hard heart of me soften the smallest bit, like she’s shining her light into the darkest corners of me.”
Max is a hot as hell, fortune 500, Ivy league, sexy pirate look alike- tatted, broken and bad to the bone but his tender side is overwhelmingly swoonworthy…lucky little Peach!
“…Max has an aura to him. Dark, glittery alpha stardust clings to him.”
Sweet, beautiful Peach- kind, caring restauranteur and baker extraordinare. Together, they take a chance on each other and what is meant to be will be. No doubt Max and Peach are falling head first into their new found love but not everyone is pleased with this outcome.
Someone else is watching, with dangerous intentions…
Oooooo, this was such a great story! The suspense and twists were an exciting addition but my favorite parts were the beautiful, loving interactions between Max and Peach. She was as sweet as the pies she baked with such care and Max, like the dark pirate he resembled, will protect her with his life. She might feel the same way!
“…….this little golden goddess swans into my life and slays me, with no effort at all.”
You are so right, Max!!
If you enjoy an H with alittle bit of breakage who loves with every fiber of his being, this might be your next book!! Intense and really HOT! I recommend it.
This story was adorable and I loved it! Max was just too gorgeous for his own good but he had scars on his body and on his soul. He’s fighting demons that keep him alone and now he’s framed and practically under house arrest. So one night his brother drags him out to dinner and he meets a Georgia peach and the love of his life. Just one chance meeting and Max knew that Peach was the one. It’s really funny how he can’t stop doing things to woo her. Meanwhile she’s as crazy for him as he is for her. These two are just precious together. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
Okay, just wow!!! I did not want to put this one down! Between the action scenes and love scenes, I was so invested. Max is convicted of insider trading and is out on house arrest. Since he is able to venture out within a small radius of his house, his brother Rafe has him meet at a new restaurant by his house. Peach is the new owner of the hottest new restaurant in town. As soon as she sits the group, her eyes connect with Max and they both find it hard to look away. Little did they both know that this chance encounter would lead to such an intense and strong connection. The chemistry between these two is almost so tangible that you can’t resist cheering for them. Such a great story!!
This is an insta-Love romance.
Max and Peach are Amazing together.
I haven’t read the other books in this series,but I don’t think that really matters.
Max is basically on house arrest wearing a tag because he has been set up by someone and barely just escaped jail time.
Peach is new in town and has just set up her new restaurant and is becoming famous for her pies,which has attracted unwanted attention from a stalker.
They meet when Max is out to dinner with his brother at her restaurant and it is Love at first sight,Max is mesmorized by Peach and her beauty.
One night Max saves her from her stalker and then invites her to stay with him for her own safety,as she won’t go home because she’s afraid…and so begins a romance sexual and emotional.
They have so much chemistry,there are some very sweet moments between them just as much as the sexy moments.
This is a fast paced story with so many things to wrap your head around.
It is a page turner and I enjoyed it very much,Max is so protective of Peach and her innocence and it made me swoon.
I delighted in this story its a great unputdownable book that Julie Capulet has written so well.
Loved it.
5 Stars.
Someone has set Max up to take the fall for insider trading – a crime he did not commit. He is determined to find out who set him up and make them pay. Instead of serving jail time he has to wear a tracking bracelet for 3 months that limits his movement to allow him to go from home to his office. His brother wants to take him to dinner to cheer him up and discuss his upcoming wedding and he is stunned speechless when he meets the owner of the restaurant. His only interest in women had been one night stands so he didn’t understand his fascination with the beautiful woman.
Peach got her nickname at a young age when she baked her first pie. She absolutely loved baking and finally decided to open her own restaurant with her specialty being her famous pies. Unfortunately, one of her customers wasn’t happy with her continued refusals for a date and became abusive and stalking her. As she is trying to escape the stalker after a night out with friends a gorgeous man who she hadn’t been able to get out of her head since he came in her restaurant a few weeks ago comes to her rescue.
I love how Max wondered if he was forever damaged by his past that he didn’t think he had any emotional capacity like his brother Rafe, but after only 10 minutes in Peach’s company he totally understood his brother’s obsession with Lexi. His longest relationship was a two-night stand and now all he can think about is getting her to stay.
I couldn’t stop laughing at their conversations with themselves in their head. I love Max’s tormented soul and his desperate desire to be loved. You can feel his pain coming through the pages. The storyline keeps you turning the page. The sex is steamy hot and the characters are amazing. Highly recommend this book and anything by Julie Capulet!
It’s the 3rd book in the XOXO I love you series, but can be read as a stand-alone. Max and Peach’s story is a steamy romance. They save each other from their past and current problems. I love their story. Peach is a sweet-heart from southern Georgia. Max is a rich man on lockdown and lonely. Peach and her pies are just the thing Max is looking for. Just as strong Max is exactly what she needs. You will fall in love with their story. I highly recommend
Max is Max Black, the younger brother of Rafe Black of the XOXO I Love You series. While it can be read as a standalone book, it will make more sense if you read Rafe’s story first. Max is a damaged man who believes he will never be a fit human for the beautiful restaurant owner Peach. But somehow, Peach’s patience and understanding help Max understand that no one is perfect and that everyone has a right to happiness and love. I fell in love with Max and his story is one I was sad to see end. I’m eager to see what Capulet has in store for us next.
I went into this book not having read his brother Rafe’s story first, but after finishing this amazing story I picked up the rest of the I Love You series real fast. Max and Peach were perfect, simple as that. The brothers are so complex and it is interesting learning about both Max and his growing relationship with Peach, plus him realizing he has found his everything like his brother. Amazing! I love Julie’s writing style and am binging all her other books!
Max is the third book in the I Love You Series by Julie Capulet. Max is Rafe Black’s younger brother who he has spent his entire life taking care of and protecting. Max did not have an easy childhood and had some brushes with the law. He has a reputation as a bad boy with a promiscuous lifestyle and has never had a serious relationship. He considers himself too damaged to have a relationship with anyone. He is on house arrest for insider trading that he was set up for and is trying to figure out who did this to him.
Max’s life is tilted upside down the evening he walks into Peach’s Restaurant. The connection he feels with the owner, Peach, is instantaneous and reciprocated. He has never believed in love for him, never felt these feelings before. Instant-love or lust, it has taken over Max and he is a Beast! Possessive AF is definitely a Black family trait! Peach has a stalker so she needs protection. Max steps up to be her bodyguard 24/7 and the heat is turned up past boiling!
This steamy, suspenseful book is another wonderful read! Max and Peach do find their HEA and we get a lovely epilogue which is always one of my favorite treasures to find at the end of a book! This is definitely a highly recommended book that you need to dive into! FIVE DOWNTOWN STARS!
MAX spin-off from the I Love You series – 5 Stars
We met Max in the story of his brother in the I Love You series. Max is every bit as yummy as his brother is. There were a few plots lines to this story but the over-arching one was a romantic tale that was scintillating. The main female character had major issues of her own, which Ms. Capulet delved into and brought to light in a concerned manner. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel just like I thought I would. What a deluxe male character MAX is!
I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this novel from the author and I am leaving an honest and unbiased review. I have no affiliation to this author.
This was a sweet and steamy bad boy romance. I look forward to reading more books by this author.
Peach Sutton was an innocent, sassy southern Georgia girl, chef with her own restaurant called Peach’s and had a customer stalking her when she met Max Black. Max was a rebel, had just been convicted of insider trading and a bad boy with a heart of gold for Peach. Max has a bad reputation with the ladies. He has never dated, only made time with women. He thinks he is broken and no good, but he gives into the need to see Peach again. After saving her from the stalker, he moves her into his home. Peach also has a friend who can help clear Max of the felony charges. They finally free themselves from their stalkers and get their HEA.
This is the first book I’ve read by Julie Capulet and I was very pleased. This has a stalker, three month home detention, being framed, danger, both characters have to overcome things in their past. Peach (Dixie May Rafferty Sutton) is a chef trying to make her new restaurant a success in Los Angeles. Her restaurant has been open for three months and business has been booming. Her pies have been a success and people keep ordering them. She received a review from the Times stating best apple pie in the city. Max (Maximillian Apollo Black) is CFO of a Fortune 500 investment company his brother owns and chairman of the Board of Directors. He also owns five luxury properties and has an Ivy League degree. He was convicted for insider trading and his brother bailed him out of jail. The characters chemistry is explosive and the way they can see so many emotions in each others eyes is touching. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
I wonder if there’s another brother in the Black family, sigh!…
The blurb & previous reviews have covered the story itself so I won’t go into that. What I can tell you is that this flawlessly written story shows the hero falling heavily & fast for an innocent beauty he just met, just like his brother before him in the XOXO I love you series. This was multi layered, danger threatened them both from entirely different sources. Their sexual attraction was off the charts but it went so much deeper for both main characters, it seemed to be destined & they couldn’t fight it even had they wanted to. He appeared to be a big bad wolf with demons & she was little miss riding hood but she was strong & he was so tender & warm & caring. Not a big fan of instalove stories in general but this was beyond compelling. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
I really enjoyed reading about Max and Peach. I felt for Max that he was wrongfully convicted of something he didn’t do but I was so glad that he was ready to fight to clear his name. I loved Peach and that she had opened her restaurant and worked so hard. I am glad that Max was there when Peach’s stalker chased her. Max and Peach were so good together and they definitely deserved their happily ever after. I will certainly be rereading this story.
I received a copy and am leaving my honest and voluntary review.
Max, “I have exactly seven hours to convince her that she needs to stay longer.” He’s quite the complex character in this story and I love his internal dialogues. Imagine having to hold pies to strategically place them over something … I love her friends, Sophie, Johnny and Charlie. “Is it too soon” to send contractors to fix of her grandmother’s house, all these things make Max the perfect protector. Peach is ripe for the picking … by Max and I loved the story. There’s the right level of suspense, intrigue, sex and plot. I loved it. I’ll definitely read another book by Ms. Capulet.
