Take It All Off

Another good addition to this authors books. The story was written well with enjoyable characters.

I loved this book! I was glued to my kindle till the last word had been read. It is my new favorite . I loved the complexity of the story, and the characters. A highly recommended read. Check it out!

This is the first book that I have read from this author. I loved the complexity of the story, and build up of the characters stories. Weston did a wonderful job of introducing the readers to the two main characters, and I quickly found myself connecting with Marco and Addy in a way that doesn’t always happen in books.

Marco and Addy start off with a platonic relationship. They reallize that they want the same things which is no strings attached. This book is a slow burn that shows us that even the people who seem the farthest apart can find their way together.

This was a cute billionaire, boss/employee romance. Addy and Marco had a fling type relationship, that led to something more.

This is the first book I’ve read by Weston Parker. I definitely be reading more of his books. I also found that I’ve had a few of his sister’s books in my TBR pile. Guess this gal has to get her reading on!

Take It All Off is the story of Marco Rocco, a self made billionaire from Florence, and Addy (Adeline) Tidwell, an American who fell in love with Florence and decided to stay.

Addy and Marco meet when Addy has become so desperate for rent money that she has taken on a waitressing shift at the strip club where her roommate works. Addy becomes infuriated and overwhelmed with the customer’s actions during her shift that she takes a moment at a back bar. Marco strikes up a conversation with her and off handedly offers her a job at his company.

Monday morning dawns, and Addy is off on her newest career path.

This novel is packed with quick dialogue, varied characters, and some really sexy scenes.

As Marco and Addy work closely together in the office, Marco finds himself more and more attracted to his new client liaison. Once Addy admits to Marco that she lied about her sexual orientation when they first met, they stop fighting their attraction to one another.

The side characters in this story add to the plot and tension in the story. Marco and his twin Aldo have a very traditional and very dramatic mama whom they love dearly. Sadly, she is set on her boys marrying a “good Italian woman”. Addy is an orphaned American who landed in Florence during her European travels and decided to stay. Aldo warns the pair that Mama Ricci isn’t going to like Addy, and he is proven correct. The first meeting between Mama Ricci and Addy is stunning.

Shortly following that, Addy receives news that her brother back in the States has suffered a heart attack. Arriving in the US and at her brother’s bedside, the stress finally catches up with Addy. She quickly ends up as a patient herself….and then there is the matter of the surprise pregnancy.

Mr. Parker keeps us entwined with the tension between the two main characters from the start to the end of his story. The tightening of the strings that pull these two in opposite and competing directions keeps the reader pressing on. He writes a very compelling and intelligent female character to match to his strong male lead. Each character holds their own in this novel. As the story comes to its peak, the fall out of communication, personality traits, and family ties will have your gut twisting a little as you hope they get their happy ending.

I was pulled into this book quickly, but was really unable to leave Marco and Addy’s world as it started to erupt around them. You won’t be able to walk away from this book until you reach its conclusion. Mr. Parker writes a compelling romance story with enticing real issues.

I loved this book! Marco & Addy had so much chemistry and watching these two give into the attraction was so dang hot!! The “drama” of their families was entertaining and I loved how these two had to figure out if their love could withstand it all.
This is my first Weston Parker book and I found it really enjoyable. I loved how the story flowed and how it kept me entertained for the entire book!

I absolutely fell in love with Marco and Addy’s love story. Marco is a successful business owner who has no time in his life for anything except two things – family and work and not in that specific order. Addy is a traveling free spirit who decides Florence, Italy is the place to call home. Sparks ignite and an instant attraction burns hot and heavy and when Marco and Addy meet, yet neither is looking for anything more than one night. However love finds you when you least expect it and even when you don’t realize it until it’s almost too late. Weston Parker’s writing will have readers laughing, crying, and basically feeling a whole range of emotions. He has a way of bringing his characters to life for readers. If you’re a reader who enjoys destination romances, especially those set in the beautiful Italian countryside and characters that prioritize family then you’ll definitely want to pick up a copy of Take It All Off. You won’t want to put it down.

Take it Off by Weston Parker. Adaline loves living in Italy. She works at a restaurant where she loves her customers but her boss is a butt head. When she end up getting fired she finds herself working where her roommate strips. While catching her breath serving drinks she meets a good looking guy. In a preemptive strike she tells the guy she is a lesbian. Strip clubs are not his thing but Marco brought his clients there to celebrate. Sitting in a secluded corner he meets a young lady who is not only attractive but is intelligent. Offering her a job Marco is highly impressed when he gets to work and she is waiting. As they start working together her little lie of being a lesbian has been rectified. This is the beginning of an attraction they both had previously felt but now it is on and popping. There is just is one problem. Italian mothers want their Italian sons to marry Italian women and his mother is no exception in fact she is the worst. As Marco and Adaline’s working relationship grows so does their after hours relationship. When a dinner at his mother’s house goes horribly wrong Marco has a decision to make. When Adaline has to go back to the States, Marco flies with her on his jet. While in the States a surprise puts their relationship to the test. This was my first time reading this author. The synopsis for the story peaked my interest and I wasn’t disappointed. Marco and his family were very entertaining and his mother was an absolute hoot. Marco of course was the ultimate alpha and the way the author portrayed him had me wanting him for myself. A head strong independent woman always makes for a good read especially with a sassy tongue. Loved Adaline. I look forward to reading other books from this author. 4 stars.

An entertaining read. This story follows Marco and Addy. Marco is a self-made billionaire and Addy struggles to make end’s meet. She works as a waitress living in Florence, Italy. Financially, things get even worse for Addy and she is left with no choice but to take a job at local gentlemen’s club – this is where they meet. After there night, he offers her a job and later find out she’s pregnant. He’s attracted to her and they have chemistry but his Italian mother is not happy and doesn’t approve. I voluntarily received an arc copy of this book from the author.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book mainly because I haven’t read a book written by a male author in a while. Overall I really enjoyed this book and will be looking into more by Weston Parker. This story was well written and had some twists that kept me engaged the whole time. The sex was on point and hot without being over the top. The side characters fit into the story really well and even though some of them are very strong willed they make the story more believable.

Marco is a self made multibillionaire and a true Italian. He is a cutthroat, strong and hardworking man.

Addy is an American girl fulfilling her dream of living in Italy. She is smart, strong willed, witty and resilient to whatever is thrown at her.

Addy is down on her luck and working in a strip club to make some money, when she meets Marco. He sees something in her and offers her a job, even if he has to make-up of said job.

The chemistry between Marco and Addy was very believable again without being over the top. What starts as just something to satisfy a need becomes so much more. Even with a strong chemistry they have their ups and downs because of outside situations. Will these two be able to make it last with all the differences they have? Will outside factors influence what they could be?
