Neither could their secret service.

And now they’ve called Max’s two buddies to look for him.
They’ll never find us.

What I love about Blair Babylon books is the worlds she creates, and One Night in Monaco is no exception. Luxury, power, wealth – all of it beyond your dreams – is a backdrop for our very human, very vulnerable, and often extremely alpha characters who show us how uniquely human we all are — but Maxence? He’s one of a kind. And hot. Whooooo boy.
One Night in Monaco has it all – missing hot prince, a group of loyal friends rushing to find him, and a mysterious woman that leaves you guessing until the shocking end!
Royalty, luxury, adventure, and a hot prince at the center of a mystery that leads to a scorching hot intrigue.—
Don’t miss the audiobook with Shane East, Lucy Rivers, Joe Arden, John Lane, Maxine Mitchell, Virginia Rose.
If you love romantic suspense, you’ll want this nail-biter!
Audio Review:
One Night In Monaco A Billionaires in Disguise; is best listened to after listening to other books of this author. As I went in not knowing anything and was a bit confused. This is my first audio by this author and I did enjoy the writing style. I would love to listen to the others in the series and then go back and listen to this one. A romance that dabbles in mystery and intrigue that will keep you on your toes the whole time listening.
The narrators Shane East, Lucy Rivers, Joe Arden, John Lane, Maxine Mitchell, Virginia Rose performances was awesome. I loved every narrator’s inflection. Extremely entertaining. I loved the switchup of voices as it made it feel real.
My favourite part was the narrator’s as they brought the mystery and intrigue to another level.
Maxence Sizzles!
Love royal romance and this “millionaires in disguise” is the best kind–Reluctant Prince! And oh so sexy. Snap it up for your new favorite comfort read! Can’t wait for more…
Oh Maxence, oh Maxence, oh where have you gone? In just one night in Monaco Max manages to save a woman in distress (his favorite pastime), get the Russian mafia after him, have panty-melting sex, and disappear; all while his best friends, Arthur and Casimir, scour the city and high seas looking for him. And once he is found, it’s off to Paris, where Max immediately finds trouble in the form of a drunken American woman screaming at an enormous gilded Buddha.
One Night in Monaco is the beginning of Maxence Grimaldi’s story, and it is going to be just as exciting and addicting as Blair’s other books. In just one day, we encounter not only Max, but Casimir and Roxanne, Artgur and Gen, Flicka and Pierre, and Xan Valentine; the fun is just beginning!
I read an ARC of One Night in Monaco, loved it and willingly left this honest review.
I enjoyed this prequel to Maxence’s story. A lot can happen in twenty four hours. When Maxence disappears and his long time friends, Casimir and Arthur are called in to find him, where they went and what they did to find him, i could not have predicted. Add in Casimir and Arthur’s wives, Gen and Roxanne, who add so much to the story, I found I could not wait to see what was next.
One Night In Monaco is the prequel to Maxence’s story. We’ve met Max in prior books and in this story we get some of the questions we were teased with answered. I can’t say much more than this because if you’ve read Ms. Babylon before you know the lengths she goes to giving us everything we’ve been waiting for and more so I don’t want to spoil it for anyone else. If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a mix between the sophistication of James Bond and Royalty read this book Ms. Babylon nails it! I’m really looking forward to the next book in this series to returning to the magical worlds that Ms. Babylon is so talented at creating they really draw the reader in. I was given an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion of this book.
This was my first Blair Babylon, and won’t be my last! This story is interconnected with the Runaway Billionaires Series. Maxence’s story is suspenseful, intriguing, and filled with twists and turns. The characters are amazing and intriguing. Maxence is handsome, caring, protective, and supportive. The supporting characters are amazing, and I would love to know more about them. The world building is entertaining and captivating. I loved to have a multiple POV, and the cast of narrators is amazing. Shane East, Lucy Rivers, Joe Arden, John Lane, Maxine Mitchell, and Virginia Rose did an outstanding job with the narration. This audiobook is delightful! Looking forward to listen to Rogue, the next book in the Series. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it. (review updated with the audiobook version)
We have been waiting a long time to read Max’s story. Some of Blair’s other books have included little glimpses of him, but now, we’ll get the opportunity to explore his character. Max is someone who likes to stay out of the spotlight, and help damsels in distress. What else will we find out about him during the series is anyone’s guess.
This is just the beginning of Max’s adventures, and includes his childhood best friends Cash and Arthur, who are willing to go to great lengths to find him.
Blair’s books never disappoint, so… hold on for some wild times ahead!
I received an ARC copy of this book, but also purchased a copy to support a fantastic author!
I was so excited to finally get this little gem in my hands! All devoted Blair Babylon fans have been salivating for Maxence’s story, and this prequel certainly whets the appetite. I loved seeing Casimier and Arthur (and Roxanne and Gen of course!) again, and the fascinating glimpse of the way Max’s mind works.
The long, painful wait for Max is nearly over – “One Night In Monaco” is a delicious appetizer to the main course.
LOVED IT!!!!!! Now waiting for the conclusion is going to be torture! Maxence has gone missing and Arthur and Cashim have been called to come find him in Monaco. Has he gone missing on his own or will they find a body? It was great to catch up with the friends and get a glimpse into their lives. Oh, now the wait for the full length book. If you thought I was going to tell you what happened, not a chance, just know Max was doing what Max does…
Holy Maxence! Max hotness! Max suspense! Max everything! Follow your favorite book boyfriends Casimir and Arthur as they try to figure out WHAT the hell happened to Maxence in Monaco, with all the opulence and lavish lifestyle you’d expect from Blair Babylon’s billionaires. This series starter is hot, hot, hot!
I have been curious about Maxence for awhile now and the time has finally come for his story to be told! He has popped up throughout this series but was a bit mysterious even with the other series that he has appeared in and he continues to intrigue me. In this prequel, we get a little taste of what Maxence is like. The story is mainly told from Arthur, Casmir, Rox and Gen’s POV with a sprinkling of Maxence. The group go on two separate adventures in this story, Maxence playing savior to a friend while his other friends go on a quest to find him while uncovering some disturbing things. This story takes place toward the middle of Flicka’s story and has a twist at the end that will take Maxence’s story in a direction that I was not expecting but look forward to seeing where it goes. Overall, I am excited to see what happens next and can’t wait for the real story to begin.
Loved this entertaining action/adventure story. The depth of long standing friendship is proven when Arthur in Paris gets a phone call in the middle of the night that Maxence Grimaldi has gone missing, and he immediately calls Casimir in Amsterdam, and they fly off to Monaco (sans luggage) to find their missing third Musketeer. Of course their wives (6 months pregnant Gen and Roxanne) will not be left behind, and the four set out for an adventure of intrigue and action amongst the royalty and glitterati of Monaco. Shenanigans ensue as they pursue various leads.
I really enjoyed the story-it reminded me of a James Bond movie romp, but with two favourite Blair Babylon couples. For Blair’s fans, there is a brief mention of connections to Xan and the ending sets up developments in Flicka’s story arc. This was a fun introduction to Maxence’s story, and we do get to follow him with a brief steamy encounter that might become a serious romance. Max’s full story is now at the top of my Must Buy List!
I am so tickled we are finally getting Maxence’s story. And unhappy that it’s only a taste of what is to come.
This is a fast-paced story that has Arthur, Casimir, Roxanne, and Gen jet-setting to find Maxence who is missing? Or is he?
Can not wait to find out more and if anyone finally gets this billionaire…Will Maxence finally lose his heart?
I absolutely loved this book and cannot wait for the next one. This prequel brings you right back into the world of Maxence, Arthur and Casimir. I loved how Gen and Rox showed up just as much as the men and that there is a hint of a possible side story with someone else.
Sooooooo good to be back with old book friends! I love these interesting, intertwined series and am thrilled that we are going to learn more about Maxence. He appears and disappears throughout the other characters’ stories and definitely deserved to tell his own! This prequel finds Max back in Monaco, back in danger, and back to rescuing old friends. I can’t wait for his story to continue. Please hurry, Ms Babylon!
This is my honest review of this advance reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.
This book set the scene brilliantly for Maxence’s story. Bringing in the whole crew made it even better and helped to build the tension and the layers of character as we visited the thoughts and reactions of all these significant players. With vivid descriptions of the casinos and of Monaco itself, Blair brought an almost cinematic quality to the book as we flashed through the events and shared the perspectives of Cas, Arthur, Gen and Roxanne, the plot moved along at a pace which had me glued to the page! And that end! Just downright, so much, fun! Fabulous!
Fun start to Maxence’s story. Told in multiple point of views, we get a little glimpse into what drives him and his knight in shining armor complex. The story is a mystery of Maxence’s whereabouts, who is trying to get him, and what in the world is he doing? It was fun seeing him through Arthur and Casmir’s eyes. I hope we see more of Simone and looking forward to learning more about Bree. Can’t wait for more! I was given the opportunity to read a copy of this book.
“One Night in Monaco” is a prequel designed to get readers primed and ready for the intoxicating world that is Maxence Grimaldi!
For avid fans of author Blair Babylon’s work, Maxence’s story has been a long time coming. “One Night in Monaco” is a tantalizing tease for the senses. A prequel for what’s yet to come, this story is narrated by a cast of beloved characters known well by Ms. Babylon’s readers: Casimir & Roxanne; Arthur & Gen; Maxence himself; and newly introduced Dree. Who exactly is Maxence? I’ve been waiting a long time to find this out. Finally, the truth is about to be unveiled. It would seem that he is about to be paired up with newcomer Dree, a romantically jaded nurse on the verge of unfurling her true inner self through a quest of self exploration. Drunk on tequila, what will be her next course of action? Ms Babylon sure knows how to end a story on a cliffhanger!!!
I’m not going to go into any great detail regarding the plot of this book. Remember, this is just a prequel. Rest assured though, that you will be left intrigued and salivating for more…. plus most likely mildly annoyed that you must wait for the next installment. “One Night in Monaco” is a wonderful exercise in perfecting the art of enjoying delayed gratification.
Until the next installment….may it be published quickly!
