From New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a new standalone novel.It started out like any normal day.Then the fender bender happened.The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth.Eventually, the police came … of his condescending mouth.
Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway–one I was excited about.
Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.
Whoops!
Yeah, so I didn’t get the position.
The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids.
So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance.
To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece.
At least my attraction to him wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed.
But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn’t that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game–don’t ask.)
We continued to flirt without crossing the line–until it finally happened.
This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right?
Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs.
Ours was one I didn’t see coming.

Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland was fantastic! I really loved this book and adore these authors writing. It was fun, flirty, and full of passion, but also had emotion, and was unpredictable with plenty of shockers and surprises I didn’t see coming. Another amazing story by my favorite writing duo!

Holy plot twist! If you think you know where this story is going to go, think again. I laughed. I cried. Go read it!
A new standalone from Vi and Penelope!
From New York Times bestselling authors Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland comes a new standalone novel.
It started out like any normal day.

*5 amazing stars*
I just don’t know how these two authors do their co-write so perfectly. It’s not my first read from them but this one’s seriously became my favorite book of theirs! Don’t really know how to put my words in a review ‘cuz it just blew me away. The story went one way in the beginning but there was just something you’ll never see coming that will have you break down and make you wonder about everything. Some things you can really relate to and that makes you feel all the raw emotions. A definite must read!
Elodie and Hollis meet under the worst circumstances and when Elodie is finally able to make it to her interview, she’s in for a real surprise. Even though Hollis doesn’t give Elodie any chance to explain why she wants the job of nanny, there’s something that makes him take the step to let her prove herself. The more they get to know each other, the more their walls seem to come down but Hollis still feels his past hovering over him and doesn’t know how to deal with it. When it seems they finally get close and make it a go, something will happen that will turn their worlds upside down… Will they be able to overcome it all?…
This book gave me feels. I will say, that I did not see this ending coming. By far one of my favorite VIP books! I love Hollis and Elodie’s push and pull between each other.
You will learn that:
A.) life is about living in the moment
B.) not all things are as they appear
C.) we have to trust that things happen for a reason
Love is so tricky and in this book you will find selfless, unadulterated love with an unexpected twist. Hold on as you see Hollis transform from a broken and scared-to-get-hurt jerk, into a loving, happy and deserving-of-love man. I loved him!
Hollis fits the stereotypical, lost-love-untrusting-jerk, who doesn’t know how to act nicely toward women, mold. Elodie is a heroine that can yank a few knots in his chain. The banter and angst with them will have you turning the pages.
You will not be disappointed by this book!
I received an advanced reader copy and voluntarily provided an honest review.
I love when these two authors collaborate; they always give us unique page turning stories. This book was full of twist and lots of emotions.
Elodie and Hollis had a great connection and stole my heart. These two have the best chemistry and were perfect for each other once they gave in. These two meet in the most unconventional way and weren’t fans of each other. Not long after she is the one interviewing with Hollis for a job.
Park Avenue Player was an amazing page-turner I couldn’t put down. This is a book you don’t want to miss. Must Read!
PARK AVENUE PLAYER co-authored by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic, romance story line focusing on Hollis LaCroix, and PI/nanny Elodie Atlier.
Told from present day and memories from the past PARK AVENUE PLAYER focuses on Hollis LaCroix’ hunt for a nanny for his eleven year old niece Hailey, a young girl whose father is currently serving a sentence in prison but things don’t start off very well when Hollis comes face to face with his potential nanny, the woman who hit his Mercedes just minutes before. Having no patience with to interview Elodie Atlier, Hollis dismisses our heroine, only to have Elodie arrive at his house, hours later. What ensues is the slow building relationship between Elodie and Hollis when Elodie is hired as Hailey’s nanny, and the potential fall-out Hollis struggles with a ghost from his past.
Elodie Atlier has worked for a private investigator as the lure in numerous divorce and cheating scandals. Tired of the men ogling and pawing our story line heroine, Elodie’s best friend Bree suggests working as a nanny for Hollis LaCroix but their ‘accidental meeting’ forces Hollis to not accept Elodie as his niece’s nanny. Hollis LaCroix has been burned in the past but his attraction to Elodie causes some trouble with their employee and employer dynamic. But a series of mixed messages from Hollis to Elodie, finds Elodie struggling with where she stands in Hollis’ life.
The relationship between Elodie and Hollis is one of immediate and palpable attraction predicated on a business arrangement between our leading couple but having been burned in the past, Hollis refuses to fall in love, or place Elodie in a position that could break his niece’s heart. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Elodie’s best friend Bree, and her previous boss and friend Soren, as well as Hollis’ business partner Addison, and his niece Hailey.
PARK AVENUE PLAYER is a story of family, friendships, secrets and lies; betrayal, grief, loss and love. The premise is engaging and captivating with a major twist that will break your heart; the romance is passionate and seductive; the characters are dynamic, charismatic and intense but there is some definite humorous back and forth between Elodie and Soren.
Loving a book on every level is not always something I walk away with after reading a book. However, the Dynamic Duo that is Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland have managed to grant me such a rarity! I loved the clashing of Elodie and Hollis! Their abrasiveness from the onset pulled me in right away! Having characters start off on shaky ground is always intriguing to me. These two also set the stage for an interesting “meet cute”. The unraveling of their story is engaging and the secondary characters provide for a lasting impact. Each one plays a significant role in these two love birds’ fate. From the curiosity of Hollis’ niece to the nosiness of his best friend, there is no shortage of endearment. Heart-tugging moments and tear-filled situations are magically created within the pages of this story that I will never forget. These characters, their situations, their personalities, and their relationships have made their mark on my heart. And for that, this book is special and should not be passed up by anyone!
