StevieMy Fairy Godmother had a wicked sense of humor, of that I was certain.The first time I met Jackson Hart, I was on all fours with my ass in the air.At the time of our meet not so cute, I didn’t know that the handsome man with the most captivating blue eyes was the wealthy, charismatic, and hot as sin hotelier, oh and my new boss.Well, technically he is my boss’s boss. Just skimming the … boss’s boss. Just skimming the company manual was maybe not the best idea.
But, I digress. Working at Hart Hotels & Spa was a temporary plan.
Now, that plan has changed. Jackson Hart not only wanted me in his bed and in his life, he wanted me working alongside him.
Some offers are too good to pass up.
Jackson
Premium scotch aged to perfection, making money before sunrise, nine holes of golf and interesting conversation. Those are the things most known about me. Toss in a leggy brunette or a stunning redhead at a society event for good measure and there’s a story to amuse the public. But, my story goes deeper—to the past that I left behind.
Sooner or later past and present collide. I never dreamed Stevie Brockman would be part of both.

Well done Christy Pastore! Well Done!
Wicked Gentlemen is a well written and wickedly entertaining read!
This is a great story with two awesome characters that are perfect for each other (once Stevie finally realizes it). Some twists and turns in the story line will keep you flipping those pages!
The back and forth banter and the great one-liners that Stevie and Jax keep dishing out had me laughing so hard! One of my favorite lines in this story is from Stevie when she stated, “My sex life was on life support, and I was coming dangerously close to having the last rites read to my vagina”. Talk about laughing out loud!
I highly recommend this book!
Whew…Phew…wowza!
God’s answer to women Jackson James Hart. Hotel Magnate Extraordinaire has been created and let loose in Booklandia.
He’s talented, to say the least. When he meets Stevie on all fours, ass in the air, he’s…….helpful. Good Samaritan that he is, he helps her, drops her, pays for her repairs, then takes her to dinner. Then he turns her life around
“Os before I was introduced to his experienced tongue and magic fingers were like riding a bike with training wheels. This was full-blown, look ma no hands and then soaring off into the sunset.:”
He’s singlehandedly focused on Stevie Determined.
Intense.
Focused— on me.
Who wouldn’t fall in love with this mouthwatering Hart Resorts Owner, rich, successful and loving hunk of a man. I did. Hook, line & sinker. You will too.
Go grab this delectable, sexy story and enjoy!
I loved the characters, but Stevie , baby, what’s wrong with your taste buds hun..
What’s wrong with pineapple..its HAWAIIN PIZZA for chrissakes !!!*smh**
“Okay, but I get to choose the toppings. Can’t trust you and your sweet tooth, you’re liable to put pineapples or banana peppers on the pizza.”
So that tiny bit peeve notwithstanding, she’s sweet, talented, forgiving and very loving.
This is the first book I’ve read from this author and it was such a great read. I finished this book in a day. I absolutely enjoyed both the main characters; Stevie and Jackson. Their chemistry was off the charts, that is once Stevie stopped fighting it. Their back and forth banter had me laughing out loud more than once. This is a steamy romance read full of chemistry, laughs, and a bit of suspense with an ending that will leave readers happy. I definitely look forward to reading more books from this author in the future. This is one book I think fellow romance readers would enjoy.
Wicked Gentleman by Christy Pastore is a talented, solid, entertaining, and emotional romance read. Jax and Stevie met and immediately right off the bat they have instant chemistry. I have to say this about Stevie- she is sassy, sweet, smart and just one great heroine I have read of late. She never gave up and was determined to love life even when life was terrible for her. Jax is a perfect complement to her character. He is strong, dominant, kind and loyal. Stevie has a run of bad luck trying to start her big girl life but in comes Jackson and things start to turn around. He finds himself super attracted to her and finds ways of being around her which Stevie didn’t like. But sometimes you need to learn to accept help when its given and I think he was able to help her see that. There are a lot of secrets, drama, angst, tension, intense passion, suspense, mystery and high intensity romance in this story. Ms. Pastore writes a story that keeps the reader hooked from start to finish and gives a beautifully written romance. I found Wicked Gentleman to be one of, if not, my favorite by hers because it has the IT factor in this read. I enjoyed Jax and Stevie as a couple. This is a MUST READ!!!
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me.”
4.5 Sexy Hart Stars!
I loved this sweet and sexy, forbidden romance! I went in blind and really enjoyed the way that Jax and Stevie’s connection grew. They had fiery chemistry, yet had a slow burn romance. I loved that despite the age and class difference, Stevie was smart and strong, and was not easily manipulated by anyone. Jax is so thoughtful, kind, and so totally swoon worthy. I thought that I knew where their story would go, and loved that it wasn’t that simple. This story had a wonderful depth with plot twists that kept me guessing. I was totally captivated from the very beginning by this sweet, sexy, and heartfelt romance. This is my first book by Ms. Pastore and she has a new fan!
Wicked Gentleman is cute. I would take the suited hottie with the naughty mouth, suggestive words, and kindness flowing from him.
Maybe I’m easy but a man who cares, who spoils you, and genuinely wants you- yes please! I am also incredibly partial to a dirty talker- so use me!
Looks like Stevie won the lottery! Or my version of the man lottery! Wicked Gentleman is the prefect description for Jackson Hart!

This is my first Christy Pastore book and will not be my last.
The story of Stevie and Jax is fun, romantic and keeps readers turning the page.
When Stevie and Jax meet she has no idea he is her new boss. He is an alpha male an charmer. Stevie is starting over after losing her job. The book brings these two characters together through past histories that no one knew existed. Jax and Stevie deal with many issues but are honest and support each other, have great chemistry and love each other.
Now this is erotic fiction done well. With the great story this author has given us two people with tons of chemistry and passion. The combination of the two means it’s a wonderful read that will take you away. The author also adds in her own special brand of twists that add to the suspense and intrigue.
Love this authors style and her books. Always a great read with the perfect blend of sex.
Loved it! I laughed through most of it even drawing odd looks from my animals!
Jax and Stevie are truly the “it” couple for office romance. They met by chance when Stevie’s car broke down, Jax was complete intrigued by Stevie’s grace. Jax moved quickly to secure a place for Stevie at work, but more importantly he wanted her close to him.
I loved this couples passion and way to love each other wholeheartedly. Here is more of my review – https://youtu.be/t1XhJ5BcY7U
Wicked Gentleman by Christy Pastore is a contemporary, workplace, age gap romance told in first person, dual POV.
When Stevie’s car breaks down, she has no idea that Jax, the sexy stranger who helps her, is her new boss. He begins to pursue her and although she doesn’t think a relationship with her boss is the best idea, she has a hard time resisting his charms.
Will Stevie and Jax be able to date secretly? Will they be able to stay professional at the workplace? Or will Jax give Stevie special treatment? What will happen when people find out about their relationship?
Overall, I enjoyed the story. There was humor, heat, and plenty of drama – an entertaining read.
3½ Stars
Listen, I teetered with the book. On one hand, it’s a fantastic story. On the other, well, I had a couple of issues. Read on for my thoughts…
The story over all is fantastic. I devoured it. Who doesn’t love a boss/employee romance. That whole forbidden fruit fantasy is always a treat to read. From their first meet, to their first “date”, to the rollercoaster this book takes you on, I really enjoyed this story from the start.
Where it all went a little sideways for me was the characters. Usually, if I don’t like the characters, I have a hard time with the overall book. Fortunately for me, the characters didn’t completely ruin it for me. I did not like Stevie. Not. At. All. Even for her age, she was immature and all over the place. She gave me whiplash with her flip-flopping personality. I kind of liked Jackson. I didn’t dislike him. I just felt for his age, there were times where he seemed to be a little too immature himself.
Even without my seal of approval on the characters separately, they worked together. Things do fall in place. The world is righted, even in the ups and downs these characters have. Their relationship eventually won me over. I just think I would have loved this book had Stevie’s character had a better hold on who she is.
