The last thing she was looking for was a man with an ego bigger than his bank account. Too bad that was exactly what she found when she spent a wild night in the arms of a masked stranger.Planning a Halloween masquerade gala for the infamous … for the infamous Victor Beaumont made a nice addition to her reputable portfolio. She just hadn’t planned on becoming a notch on his bedpost … or falling for him in the process.
But there was more to the man behind the mask …

He would gladly walk away from everything for a chance to be his own man, but tradition wouldn’t allow it … and neither would his pride.
As a skilled actor, he had everyone fooled with his arrogance and charming wit. Until he met the infuriatingly talented and beautiful Samantha, who saw right through him. From rendezvous to romance, he couldn’t keep his hands off of her.
To keep her, he would have to take his mask off once and for all …

Mr. Big Ego is book three in the Dirty South series by Kat Addams. This book can be read as a stand alone. It’s my very first book by this author!
Victor Beaumont is thirty five years old and is the CEO of New Orleans largest rum distillery, Fleur-De-Lis. This wasn’t Victor’s dream in life, to be the head of his family’s business. But none of his other brothers were interested. He was the only one willing to step up. Victor devoted everything to the company with the help of his somewhat curmudgeonly assistant, Sara. But lately, he had been feeling a void in his life.
“Loneliness was creeping up on me out of nowhere. I had a restless feeling as if I was finally waking up.”
Samantha Masson owned her own event planning business. She was still trying to get her business off the ground. Victor Beaumont was her biggest client. She only ever dealt with his grumpy assistant, Sara. She had seen photos of Victor and knew how good looking he was but had never actually met him. But she was okay with that because she already knew what he was like. He had money to burn and an ego to match. His requirements at his events were crazy and over the top but she always accommodated him. She needed his business.
Samantha was hurt badly five years earlier by her cheating ex-husband. She is finally ready to try out dating again but has no idea how to start. She is in the middle of a huge Beaumont Halloween gala when she is approached by a very sexy masked man who sweeps her off her feet. Later when the masks come off, she realizes who she was with, the one and only Victor Beaumont, her boss!
Victor and Samantha know they shouldn’t. He’s her boss. But they can’t stay away from each other. They swear that it is just business only. No feelings. But you know that never works. Because the more time they spend together, the stronger their connection becomes, and feelings are most definitely involved.
These two have some crazy shenanigans together, all the while keeping their masks in place in public. Victor is able to be himself when he is alone with Samantha but in public, he still feels the need to be someone else, not to let anyone see the real man.
With meddling assistants, crazy brothers and long work hours, Victor and Samantha have plenty of obstacles to overcome. Samantha had sworn she wouldn’t get involved with a man like Victor ever again. She sees the real Victor but will he ever really be able to be that Victor?
This is a pretty crazy, wild ride. I didn’t really feel the connection as much as I wanted to with these two. I think it was just because of all of their over the top craziness. Still, it was fun and sweet and sexy and I enjoyed it. It was a quick read and I enjoyed the epilogue.
Kat Addams, ‘Mr. Big Ego’.
As a Hidden Gems ARC reader I received a free copy and promised an honest review. Here it is.
Rating: 4 stars (of 5).
In general: From irritating, pretentious boss to lover.
Main characters:
– Samantha Masson.
She’s an ambitious, talented event planner. After her break-up with a cheating husband, she works very hard to pay the bills and to save money so she can buy a nice home to replace the noisy apartment with the irritating neighbor in which she lived after her divorce.
– Victor Beaumont.
He’s the CEO of Fleur-De-Lis, the largest rum distillery in New Orleans, a Beaumont family company. He too had a bad break-up when his fiancee cheated on him with his brother. Since then he concentrated on the growth of his firm. To achieve this among other things he gives big parties to take good care of his clients, business relations and the media.
Samantha and Victor meet when Sam is the event planner of his parties. She gets her instructions from Sara, Victor’s bitchy PA. Sam thinks that Victor is an egomaniac with wild ideas about his parties which she has to carry out immediately and to perfection, so he comes spectacularly in the spotlights.
During one of his parties Samantha dances with a masked man. She likes him and they have a one-night-stand. At the end of the night she discovers that Victor was her dance partner.
The author, Kat Addams, then describes how the relationship between Sam and Vic develops. In a not so original plot she creates some credible extra characters (Lisa, Malcolm), interesting dialogues and a few hot sex scenes. Moreover she gives interesting info about the event planning business.
For me the book was a pleasure to read.
R. Huiszoon.
A Great Millionaire romance. The characters are funny and their story kept me smiling, laughing and happy throughout. Samantha is a sassy, headstrong event planner who was hurt in the past by an egotistical ex-husband. Thus she vows to stay away from alpha powerful males. Especially men like the arrogant Victor Beaumont, her major client. Victor appears to be a powerful, hard nosed playboy on the outside but he hides his true self to the world. But during a masked Halloween party, these two meet as masked strangers not realizing who each other are. After an intense night of pleasure, what happens the next morning when the masks come off and they see who rocked their worlds?
This is a wonderful RomCom that I highly recommend. It’s part of a series but can be read as a standalone. This reader hasn’t read the first two brother’s stories but trust me I will be picking them up soon. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 funny, zanny stars.
If you are looking for a romance that has a ton of humor, plenty of heat, quirky characters, and one hell of a good time, then you need to read this book! You should really read all of Kat’s books, but you can start here. Mr. Big Ego is the story of a wealthy playboy named Victor Beaumont and an event planner named Samantha Masson. The location is New Orleans, so you know some crazy stuff is going to go down, like talking birds, crazy limo rides, and secret identities. There is never a dull moment. Victor seems like a serious businessman, but he is really just an overgrown teenager. Some of the stuff he does, my lord, it just makes you shake your head, and laugh your ass off! I feel like he really needs someone stable, like Samantha to keep him wrangled. She didn’t want to like him, but a dork like him is hard for her to resist. They have some hurdles to get over, but they definitely make a great team.
Having never read anything by Kat Addams before this book took me by surprise. First of all I wasn’t expecting it to be the absolutely over the top fun fest it was! I mean seriously, it had me laughing, rolling my eyes, snorting and wanting to reach into my Kindle and slap a couple of people upside the head HARD (I mean you Sara and Malcolm!).
Samantha is a sexy single event planner with an aversion to douchey men and their like. She is sassy, spunky and sexy to boot. Victor a.k.a Mr. Big Ego, Asshole-in-Chief and/or Voodoo Victor Conjurer of Condoms is the head of his family owned business. He is wickedly funny, sexy as sin, goofy as hell and clueless AF when it comes to relationships. What a incredibly complicated match made in party planning heaven they make.
With two main characters like this how can this be anything but a win win read? I can’t get over how fun this book was to read and how enjoyable it was to lose myself in Sam and Victor’s love story. If you’re looking for a fun, easy, sexy and quirky read then you most definitely have to add this book to your TBR list right away – Enjoy! (I read an ARC of this book and promise no Mardi Gras beads were exchanged for my honest review ).
Why am I not surprised I snorted coke and choked on my Reese’s while reading a book from Kat Addams? Mr. Big Ego is her best one to date for me. A book that is based in NOLA and has plenty of shenanigans. What could go wrong? Victor the bada$$ owner of Fleur-de-Lis brewery I was totally smitten with his character. He was hilarious and let’s just say I will never think about a swirly ever the same ever again. What really made the book enjoyable was Samantha I related to her so much on a personal level. She is smart, sassy, and rough. Honestly, I couldn’t asked a character to be more like me. You know when you read a book and you think to yourself I would have so done that or I did do that. That’s what Samantha was for me. Kat Addams is making a name for herself with her funny as hell shenanigans that only she can some of up with and her strong female characters. If you want to spice up your library this book is the one you want. So download the book when it comes out, sit back, and laissez le bon temps rouler (Let the good times roll).
Very good romance from enemies to lovers
4,5
Excellent romance, because of the characters who think that the other is just unbearable of condescension, or that it is too rigid, but when they meet without knowing who the other is, there are immediately sparks.
It’s very well written, a little predictable sometimes, and sizzling, with a few hints of humor in the dialogues, the sarcasm.
All the characters are very good, even the secondary ones and I would have liked to know more about the secondary characters of Malcom and Lisa.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Uniquely captivating!
From the characters to the story to the writing style nothing is cookie cutter. Everything about this book is unique. Samantha is truly quirky with her outlook on life accompanied by her obvious joy of simply living. Victor is closed off because of people using him for his wealth. After her divorce from an absolute louse, she is reluctant to try again. Amazing characters and story are brought to life by her writing skills.
I’m ready to read the first two books in this series.
