#3 What is your biggest takeaway from the story?
Ruby Rockford and I are meant to be.
I just have to prove it to her.
For the entirety of my adult life, I’ve been content.
Content in my single lifestyle, content in my stressful-but-extremely-successful job as the main corporate counsel for almost every Fortune 500 company in North America, and content in my playful, spontaneous ways.
I had no idea it was possible for someone to change my mind.
The endless women and work are no longer enough, and just as Ruby Rockford told me–it’s about time I grow up.
It’s going to take a strategic attack from more than a couple brilliant minds to win her affection, but luckily, I know exactly where to find the right guys for the job…
The Billionaire Book Club.
It’s safe to say that I, Caplin Hawkins, the man most women would call The Ultimate Player, have finally met my match, and man oh man, has my end game changed.
I’m coming for you, Ruby.
And soon, you’ll be coming for me, too.

“I like you, Ruby. What if, just for tonight, you let yourself see what it might be like to like me?”
A hilarious , ball-busting , all around woo-taying fun !
I can’t wait for the next book.
I haven’t anticipated a character’s story as much as I wanted and needed Caplin Hawkins’ story; in fact, I’d say it’s probably been since I impatiently waited for Thatch’s story, so the fact that I get both my main men in The Billionaire Book Club made me that much more ready to see what Max Monroe had in store for Cap and what woman would come into his life and bring him to his knees.
What I find interesting about Caplin’s contentedness is the fact that his job as a lawyer and the money in his bank account should allow him to live an extraordinary life – one that is so far above content that anyone would be jealous of the life he lives and the people and things he surrounds himself with…but he’s not, and a certain sassy woman shows him that he should want more…that he should open his horizons, so to speak, in ways that he never took the time to view or even felt like he wanted.
I do have to admit that Caplin is definitely an acquired taste, and I honestly think some readers may not like his attitude or his view on how his life should be lived, but, then again, some readers would say that about Thatch and I’ve been all about him since Max Monroe introduced readers to him. Now, I’m not saying that Cap is a complete douche, but there are times in the story that he frustrated the heck out of me and I wanted to slap a bit of sense into him and make him open his eyes in order to see the woman and the life staring back at him.
Ruby Rockford is quite the heroine, which is good because she’s going to need to hold her ground when it comes to the man who sees her as a challenge the minute she doesn’t fall for his charming ways and swoon over him. And even though she may be a bit of a hot mess at times, she is a strong and independent woman who refuses to bow down to a man who doesn’t deserve her until he truly understands that what they can have is so much more than the contentment he seems to demand.
The supporting cast of characters in Cap and Ruby’s story added to the shenanigans and the hilarity of the book because of their meddling ways as well as the fact that they weren’t afraid to tell it like it is when it comes to relationships and the missteps that can be taken. The Book Club/Poker Night scenes were some of my favorite because it allowed me an inside look at quite an interesting group of characters as well as the perspectives that come along with them. I truly couldn’t get enough of how these scenes were written and just how much Thatch reigns over his fellow members.
The Billionaire Book Club is an adorable romantic comedy that begins with quite an entertaining ‘meet cute’ for the hero and heroine and then proceeds to offer a plethora of scenes that had me laughing out loud, and, of course, any book that includes one of my favorite alpha males of all time – Thatch – is always going to be a great read.
4 Poison Apples
5 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Cap’s book. I wasn’t sure what to expect with the man-whore of the group coming to choose a single woman, but they did it so perfectly that I wish I could re-read it for the first time — and I literally just finished!
Cap and Ruby are both headstrong and not looking for anything serious with the other. Ruby knows all about Cap’s womanizing. Cap doesn’t want to be a one-woman man. Their journey through this book is fun, captivating, and more than I could have hoped for. Cap’s big gesture was so perfect, it made me cry while reading about it.
And getting a look in on all the other guys of the Billionaire Series was so fun, too. I’ll never get enough of Thatch’s fluffing commentary or Wes’s serious nature or Kline’s intuition. Really, this book was so perfect, I can’t imagine anything will top it!
Tip this ‘Cap’ my way!!!
After having met and heard from Caplin Hawkins in previous ‘Billionaire’ books in this and the last series, it was nice to finally get to grips with the man himself. Cap is a hilarious, sexy, devil-may-care lawyer who lives life his way. That is until he meets Ruby Rockford.
Ruby is in law school and meets Cap when she’s covering for her BFF by doing his job in the law library.
Their initial meeting pretty much sets the tone for their entire relationship. Fun, snarky, embarrassing and just flipping swoony.
Cap may have seemed like a player before, but Ruby turns his world on its head. She knows what kind of man he is, and that’s not what she’s looking for in a partner or husband. Cap has his hands full making her see the light.
This was a sweet, but very sexy and funny story. Totally loved every second of it. You will too, One-Click your copy today and let Cap melt your heart and other items, just like he did mine.
I think this would be my second favourite from the series! This book was the most anticipated in the series because its Caplin’s book. He’s like the ultimate player within the group. But I never thought it would be a slow burn, but it was worth it. He needs a woman who would bring him down a notch. And Ruby was just who he needed!
Cap never thought he needed anything more. He’s a rich driven, highly intelligent lawyer. What more he needs. But most of his friends have settled down and wanted to see him do the same. Ruby is busy going to law school but also work as a book narrator which is how she supports herself. Her life is very busy as it is but she couldn’t pass up a golden opportunity to intern at Cap’s law firm. One thing you need to know is you shouldn’t mess with her and she is immune to Cap’s antiques and charms. Now you know why I said it was a slow burn, because Ruby is not someone who give in too easy.
Poker nights turned to a book club when Cap started to find ways to woo his new intern. Cap and Ruby have amazing chemistry. From the first hilarious meeting to the wooing, to their happily ever after, they’re just perfect for each other.
If you need a laugh out loud read, I highly recommend The Billionaire Book Club!
This was fantastic! I only recently started reading Max Monroe’s work… I started with The Billionaire Next Door and I couldn’t get enough so as soon as I see another book by these author being released I know I have to read it. I love their books. I love their writing style. I love the characters and plots they build and this is no exception… Once again these two authors have me in squirming in my seat, fits of laughter.
Cap, Cap, Cap… I didn’t think I could love anyone more than I loved Milo, but I was proven wrong, there is another character of Max Monroe’s that I love more and his name is Caplin Hawkins.
I first read about Caplin in Milo’s book, and when I saw this book was his book, I had to read it. I was intrigued from the moment he was introduced and as always these authors weaved together a light, fun, laughable and phenomenal story for Caplin. From page one, I was hooked but I didn’t it to be any other way.
Caplin is a ladies man, a womanizer, a man that could probably get any woman he wants… He’s cocky, he’s confident and he is comfortable with who he is. He could get any woman he wants, but he only wants one woman, and that woman is Ruby, but before that can happen he needs to prove himself to her.
Ruby was terrific! She was bold, not afraid to stand up for herself, especially with Cap. She’s a student studying law, so her life is anything but boring. She’s a woman that takes on a lot, yet she does it with grace. She was a straight shooter, level headed and she bought outsides of Cap that no one else has ever been able to.
Cap wants nothing more than he wants Ruby, but she’s not that easily claimed.. She makes him work for it and he does… He does things for this one woman that he has never done for other women in his life. He’s out to sweep her off her feet and he won’t give up until he has.
This story centers around a book club and a bunch of billionaires and it was a laugh and a half… Not only did the authors play the lead characters out perfectly, she included secondary characters just as much. It was a delight to read, and for 90% of the book, I was snort/laughing and swooning over Cap. Seriously, the man is a dream come true. What made it even better is that even though it was a light-hearted read, it still held a little depth. It was great to see cap chase after Ruby. Hilarious, and it held my attention from page one. You will see some old faces that I was over the moon to read about again and it’s made me want to go and re-read.
This book was perfect. It was fun, hot, held a plot that caught by surprise.
5 Stars!
First off I LOVED the humor in this one. That’s what I love most about Max Monroe books. I’m not going to lie I was very iffy about Cap. He has a lot of growing up to do. I loved Ruby. I so want to be friends with her. I loved reading about Cap finally take the fall because you know he was going to go down kicking and screaming. I liked the way Ruby changes Cap for the better. She brings out the good guy we knew was hiding underneath the surface. I really can’t wait for more books! This one had me hooked right from the beginning. Hang in there with Cap because he will have you won over by the end for sure!
Five funny stars for Ruby and Cap !
Max Monroe again made me laugh through the whole book and I’ve really enjoyed reading it.
If somebody knows how to write an amazing rom-com which you couldn’t able to put down until you finish it, then that are these two awesome authors.
From the first book, I’ve read from this series, I was amazed (maybe I had a crush ) with Cap.
I was a little sad when I found out that the second book wasn’t his, but then one day in August Max Monroe announced that Cap’s book is coming in September and I was so happy !
“The Billionaire Book Club” is the book that will make your day no matter how bad it was and with Ruby and Cap you will one hundred percent enjoy reading it.
Ruby’s and Cap’s relationship is everything !
I fell in love with them and they took my heart with them.
I don’t complain !
If you’re looking for a rom-com with a lot of funny scenes and with one hot couple, then this is a book for you!
I can’t wait for the new Max Monroe’s book!
Highly recommended!!!
Max Monroe did it again. Another hilarious, laugh your butt off book!
This book had me laughing and smiling all the way through it. I love how all the other characters from the previous Billionaire books are in here as well.
Caplin and Ruby are perfect for each other. Each brings out what the other one needs in their lives, they compliment each other perfectly.
Cap with his charming playboy, live life to the fullest attitude & Ruby with her serious, buckle down only living for school and work life. They definitely need one another.
If you need a feel good book that will make you laugh and smile, dont miss this one!
You will laugh, you will be wooed, and then you will fall in love with these characters. Oh my Cap and Ruby. This is one steamy fun office romance. Cap is a high paced lawyer that is constantly demanding things; well it all comes to end when he meets Ruby. Now how they met, let’s say they will give you one tears in your eyes laugh.
As Ruby grabs Cap’s attention it is in that moment that Cap devises a plan to get her attention. This includes some of my favorites from other books; we get to see Thatch, Wes, and Kline… Let’s say they bring the house down with their antics.
“I Want to see you catch fire”

Max and Monroe promised a great story and they delivered. Ever since I read about Caplin (back in “The Billionaire Boss Next Door”) I knew his story would be hilarious, because he’s that kind of guy. The one you have a great time with. In some ways he reminds me of Thatch, always full of jokes and mischief. But there’s where the coincidences ends, because Cap is his own person, and he’s unique.
While reading The Billionaire Book Club I couldn’t stop laughing. For real! Every single chapter was better than the one before. The story is addictive, and sweet, and romantic, and oh so funny! It was absolutely awesome to read my favorite billionaires together in a book club. That’s a club I couldn’t mind be part of. And do you know what was even better than that? To see the biggest player of all falling in love. That was sweet AF.
Ruby and Caplin were amazing characters, their chemistry was insane, and I loved that my girl didn’t make things easy for Cap. This book was the best, but don’t tell Thatch I said that.
4 “The Captain and His Ruby” stars!
Caplin Hawkins is a handsome, sexy, smart billionaire who loves all women. He has absolutely no desire to be in a steady relationship and can’t understand why all of his friends have chosen to settle down. They were once like him but they have found love. They know it’s just a matter of time before Cap meets his match and when he does, she’ll knock him off his feet and he’ll never let her go.
Ruby Rockford is a third year law student who meets Cap in the library. Despite the instant attraction, she doesn’t have time for a relationship and wants nothing to do with him. Yet, Cap is determined to win Ruby over so he offers her a job she can’t turn down. The more time they spend together the more they get to know each other, and something new starts brewing between them, flipping Cap’s world upside down.
I was interested in Cap’s story from the moment I met him in the other Billionaire Collection books, and I am happy to say that his book is as hilarious as I hoped it would be. Cap is so set on his casual fun ways that he won’t even entertain the idea of a relationship. When he actually starts feeling something more for Ruby he is totally out of sort and it is hysterical.
Ruby seems immune to his charms and it’s driving Cap crazy. He’ll do anything to get the girl so when he learns that Ruby is a romance reader, he transforms poker night into a book club with his guy friends (who we know and love from the other Billionaire books) and it is sidesplittingly funny. The interactions between the guys is comical, and I loved how they all got into it and actually participated while offering their own advice. I couldn’t stop laughing when Cap was “wooing” Ruby, and I loved everything that unfolded from his antics.
“What in the hell kind of woman sees a romance novel-caliber gesture and gets mad?
Ruby, apparently—the woman who keeps proving to be the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced in my life.”
Cap and Ruby are perfect for each other. They are exactly what the other didn’t know they were searching for. While Ruby shows Cap what a real relationship can be, Cap brings Ruby out of her comfort zone and gets her to open up, let loose, and have fun. Their interactions are entertaining and their smoking hot chemistry made the sexual tension sizzle around them especially when Ruby start working for Cap. They are all sweet and swoony and silly with a nice dose of steam and I loved them as a couple. There are a few bumps in the road but there isn’t a lot of push and pull so it was mostly fun without any unnecessary angst which was nice. I needed a lighthearted read and this one hit the spot.
Overall, Cap did not disappoint and I thoroughly enjoyed his book. The Billionaire Book Club is another fantastic addition to the Billionaire Collection and I can’t wait for more. The next book featuring Lena, Cap’s sister, is coming November 2019.
It’t hard for me to find accurate words… BECAUSE… how many times can I say again, again AND again that Max Monroe NEVER DISSAPOINT ! This Girls are the best! Every time when I think “rom com”- BAM ! Max Monroe always are first on my mind.
The Billionaire Book Club… is no exception. I devorued this book like junkie on bookish high LITERALLY ! I was laughing, I was crying too ( beacuse of laughing) and ahhhh I was consuming every detail I saw – on/in\whatever You want on – Caplin Hawkins delicious features. This man is nothing less than the best “rom com” hero in the whole world. Cap aka hot piece of a man is really something in oue poor women’s hearts… He’s sexy obviously, successfull and so smart. Definetely FULL PACKET to dream and read about. I loved how he was interreacting with Ruby, their converastions was like a golden unicorn, and unforgetabble moments for sure – even during writting my review I just can’t stop smiling. Yes, Cap and Ruby got this effect on me. And what’s the best bonus ever ??? Ruby and Cap’s chemistry. OH wow… good air conditioning needed !!! Feel warned.
Dear Ladies, no matter what kind of books You like to read in Your lifes. The Billionaire Book Club will knock Your socks off, You won’t be able to read this book … in silence. .. Your life won’t be the same after Cap’s adventure. This couple with Max Monroe’s help will be the best rom com time in life.
Highly recomenned title.
I have been dying to get my hands on Cap’s story from the first time I met him. And boy was this one worth the wait. Max and Monroe gave me just what I was hoping for and so much more. They completely melted my heart, at the same time having me laugh out loud so much my family thought I was crazy.
I loved Ruby from the start. I immediately wanted to be her best friend and I couldn’t get enough of her sarcasm and wit.
Caplin Hawkins! Swoon! I loved his smart mouth from the start and I couldn’t help but love him more and more with every chapter.
I couldn’t get enough of these two and loved every second of their story. I can’t wait to see what these two authors bring us next!
This book can be read as a standalone, but is part of a bigger billionaire world and you’ll have way more fun if you’ve read some of the others once the book club is formed and you see your old friends who have already fallen for their perfect matches!
Oh Cap. You are so egomaniacal and in need of being taken down a few notches. Ruby, girl… I adore you. Everything about you is fun and endearing. Together? You two are going to be explosive and incredible!
Who better than a law student to bring this full of himself lawyer to his knees? His dastardly plans are genius, but guaranteed to backfire. Can he and his friends come up with ideas for how to make Ruby fall for Cap using the romance novels she’s reading?
Such a fun premise and I love this world! Recommend!
4 1/2 stars
Ah Caplin! His story has intrigued me from the get go. But first I must mention the Dedication- I love it… an absolute crack up on its own!
The whole idea of an all male book club isn’t strange but the reasoning behind is and the results hilarious. It’s actually a genius concept by these writers. One reason why I gave it an extra half a star. Thatch’s mother-fluffing reactions to the contemporary romances is priceless.
Caplin Hawkins, the playboy of New York doesn’t believe in commitment. As a very successful corporate lawyer he is used to working hard and playing hard. He knows he’s good looking, is extremely self-confident and enjoys a full spread of willing women. Ruby Rockford is a fabulous character, I love her sassy comebacks, quick wit and feisty nature. Her stubbornness helps her in many ways and her inner strength allows her to do things others mightn’t. Plus… she challenges Cap!
The outstanding sense of humour in this book makes you literally laugh out loud, I think I frightened the sleeping cat and dog this time! However, in amongst the fun banter between characters is honesty at its best, for example here when Cap is talking to his assistant who’s on maternity leave. “Look, if you really want to, we can talk about you and your maternity leave later,” I say. “I’ll even pretend to listen. I’m really good at it…” It might not tickle everyone’s funny bone but it sure does mine and another reason I gave it the extra half a star. Caplin is so mega egocentric!
Ruby warns reads about Cap in the prologue… just saying… heed the warning! What a scoundrel!
„What if, just for tonight, you let yourself see what it might be like to like me?”
They did it again! Max Monroe cracked me up and comletely melted my heart! I was eagerly waiting for Cap’s story and when I finally got it, I swallowed it up in one sitting. I knew that such a womanizer like Caplin Hawkins would have some difficulties on his way to happy ending, but I certainly wasn’t expecting a woman like Ruby! Their story is simply adorable, hilarious and full of sexual tension that electrifies the air from the very first meeting. Perfect rom-com!
Successful lawyer, Caplin Hawkins, works hard and plays even harder. He doesn’t want to limit himself to one woman, because he likes variety too much. Besides, he can’t stand the thought of commitment, and a man like Cap appreciates his freedom and the ability to do what he wants, when he wants and well … whoever he wants. Thus, when he meets a woman who seems to be immune to his advances, he immediately treats it as a challenge…
Dear Lord, how much I laughed during this read… Cap’s advances made me giggle, his meet-cute with Ruby made me chuckle like crazy, his meetings with friends were so awesome that I snorted and needed to wipe the drool, because HELLO- the authors squeezed their all sexy billionaire mother-fluffers into one room! But this story is not just smiles and giggles. The Billionaire Book Club is a totally swoon-worthy story that is charged with chemistry and sexual tension to the point that I was afraid that my device will burn out! I assure you, this book will light up your day and its humor will get you out of the biggest slump! Highly recommend!
4.5 stars!
I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. Max Monroe are my automatic go to when I want a book that’s going to make me laugh and put me in a good mood. I’ve yet to read a book by them that doesn’t cheer me up. I was definitely expecting Caps story to be hilarious and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
Caplin is a lawyer at the top of his game. He works hard, he plays even harder. He’s no intentions of settling down, of meeting the one, he’s more than happy playing the field. Until he meets Ruby.
Ruby is in law school. She’s driven and determined, so much so that sometimes she lets life pass her by. A chance meeting at the library has Cap intrigued and he can’t help going back for more. Now he knows who he wants, he just has to get her onboard with the idea…so of course he does what any sane man would do and offers her an internship. And Ruby does what any women would do and accepts.
These two are great together. Cap is a fantastic character that as a reader I couldn’t wait to see him brought to his knees and Ruby is extremely easy to like. She’s just as funny as Cap is and it makes for a very entertaining read. Another great book from Max Monroe.
4.5 stars! Ahhh the Cap-i-tan and his Ruby. Cap *might* have just edged out Thatch as the most outlandish and hilarious character in the Billionaire world. I loved loved loved the Book club and it was so much fun watching Cap fall in love with Ruby and not even realize it. And Ruby is a total gem She has to be one of the best female characters ever! So sassy and smart, she was not to be trifled with. Her parents were AH-MAZING. There was so much laughter in this book, and damn did I need that! You could cut the sexual tension with a knife! So so good!
*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
This is my fourth Max Monroe ARC. Caplin Hawkins was right. His book is indeed my favorite. There’s nothing like a womanizing, commitment-phobic hotshot lawyer falling in love for the very first time.
I admit I haven’t read all of the Billionaire books as each one can be read a standalone, but I can say with conviction that Cap is my favorite of them all, which I didn’t expect because he was always crass and the perennially horny one.
This story will make you see that you cannot coax a person to change but he has to decide to make the change himself.
It’s light and easy to read. Great word building. There’s a build up of feelings with so much excitement. It’s sweet, sexy and swoony. It’s everything you’d want to read to take the heaviness of the day away. I definitely recommend.
