This is my first book by Laney Powell and I was hooked from the beginning. In such a short amount of time, Laney quickly drew you in with her compelling storyline, great dialogue and edgy, three dimensional characters. And that phone booth scene! I won’t spoil it, but very inventive.
Darius Blabk was blindsided when his father’s company was investigated by the SEC and a major overhaul was required. At twenty nine, he doesn’t date. He f’s.
Harper McKay is a firecracker, she’s just finishing her studies to be a financial crimes investigator.
And it’s game on when he’s a guest lecturer.
He’d better bring his A game.
Until he screws up big time.
Will he own up to his mistakes?

“As the black sheep of Wall Street, I’m aptly named. My father’s crimes almost cost me my company, my reputation, and my freedom.” Loved this. Well written. Loved the characters, and Mr. Kincaid is awesome. Harper is strong, sassy, and honest.
Loved Harper and Darius

Darius knows he screwed up with Harper. He can’t get her off his mind. He has a plan to fix it.
Fast paced and steamy short story. Great ending
Our heroine works on crimes involving businesses and attends a lecture by our hero, whose father was arrested by the SEC.
This book is part of the latest Flirt Club series of loosely connected stories. Each book is written by a different, well established author but they all have a common theme. In this case, it is billionaires with colorful names.
Part of what I like about these series is that all the stories are very well written and this one is certainly no exception. Here we have two strong characters who collide based on false assumptions. The characters are well developed with solid chemistry and story that is engaging and sucked me in right to the end. There are a few bumps along the road, as well as some nice steamy scenes, but it all wraps up with a nice HEA. Overall, a highly enjoyable read.
Highly recommended.

Harper & Darius have an instant connection the first time they lay eyes on each other. But with Darius’ past issues & lack of trust in people, will he own up to his mistake when he makes the wrong assumption about Harper? This was a great, quick read with plenty of steamy scenes. Looking forward to reading more from this author!
This book has a man who has more than his fair share of conflict with the local DA’s office and through no fault of his own. His life experiences have left him not really believing in love and then he does a friend a favor and gives a lecture at a local college where he is challenged by one of the female students. There are sparks flying as soon as the two main characters lay eyes on each other. They both do a good job of trying to ignore and bury the fire that’s obviously there between them but ultimately fail. The plot is well written and enjoyable, the characters are adorable and there is a HEA for this couple who are a perfect match for each other. It’s a quick read, so grab your copy and prepare to spend an hour enjoying a good book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Short, sexy and straight to the good stuff!
**I didn’t know what bothered me more—that he was one of those guys, those arrogant, rich, guys who thought they owned the world—or that he made my blood sing and my heart pound and my panties wet.
This might be short but still has all the good things that I love in a good story… Intense attraction, steamy hot scenes, a little strife between the characters, and the HEA! Even though it was short, I still felt like we got to know the characters a little. All the trouble Darius had with his dad and company and how he over came those. Harper is a spitfire and is perfect for him, keeps him in check. Lol. I enjoyed it!
Darius is a guest speaker and talks about how to work legally in financial companies. He uses his personal experience of his father being a criminal to show how not to do business. Harper works for SDNY Finance Crimes and is one of the people in the crowd asks him the hard questions. Sparks fly between them and Darius knows that he wants Harper. Its not long before they give in to each other and spend an amazing night together. However the morning brings Darius accusing her of trying to investigate and entrap him. Upset Harper leaves not wanting to see him again. What will Darius do when he learns he’s mistaken about Harper?
This is a great short story that will keep your attention from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Darius is a billionaire businessman and Harper is a student and works in financial crimes. Loved how they were instantly attracted to each other but as always something gets in the way. This is a well written, complex story filled with drama, misunderstandings, romance and steam. A great addition to the Mr. Billionaire Short Story series.
Sexy sass at its best!
Explosively sexy and sassy and fun!! Harper meets Darius when he gives a guest lecture to her finance class. The connection is there and eventually explodes. But when Darius finds out where Harper works he makes the wrong assumption. Leads with his emotions and gets a verbal lashing from her. Now Darius has to fix it because Harper’s had an effect on him that no one else ever has and he finds he wants her fire and sass in his life.

In the financial world, in the black means the business is profitable. In this short story we have a couple who may be on their way to a profitable relationship if they can get out of their own way. Love to read about a man willing to see the light for a woman who can light up his life.

This is the sixth offering from an author of The Flirt Club’s Billionaire series that I’ve read.
This was really well developed. It had a good back story with even a prologue which is set five years earlier. This really enables you to become invested in the bigger story rather than just the relationship. Laney Powell is very good at creating full-blown stories in such a short book; she certainly has a talent for making you feel like you are reading a much larger story!
I really liked Darius and Harper’s story; it doesn’t feel rushed and advances at a steady pace. There are the usual hurdles for the characters to overcome and it’s a big one in this story as Darius almost messes everything up with a ‘mistake’. It has a delightful ending, though!
A really enjoyable read and up there at the top with ‘Mr Garnet’ and ‘Mr Silver’!
Mr Black by Laney Powell a five-star read that will teach you. Will the student become the master? If you have terrible parents does that mean you will be terrible as well? Let’s hope not as Darius seems to be the shining onyx in a pile of coal. This was fast paced and quick witted, spicy and amazing.
Another Exciting Flirt Club Short Story
Mr. Black, A Mr. Billionaire Short Story, by author Laney Powell who is part of a group of authors called the Flirt Club in which this book is under its umbrella.
I liked the the short storyline of Darius Black saving his father’s company in an ethical manner after his father was arrested and sent to prison for SEC violations. Years later while lecturing he sets eyes on Harper who unbeknownst to him works for SDNY Finance Crimes. There’s heat between the two in and out of the bedroom until he runs across her badge then there’s chaos.
Will he throw away a chance with her?
Definitely recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure.
I am leaving this review for your consideration. Peace.
