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.

PANTY MELTING hot!!! Christy Pastore has woven a tale full of wit, suspense and romance with chemistry that is off the charts! Jax and Stevie are characters that draw you in, both individually and as a couple. She’s the perfect combo of sweet and sassy, he’s dominant but has a softer side, not many see. Together… they are five stars of sizzling perfection! This story was more than an insecure girl meets and falls for a billionaire, or a typical workplace romance, this story was about overcoming your past, taking risks and pushing boundaries… It was truly captivating! It’s hard to top Christy Pastore’s Harbour Series, but move over Alex, Jax just stole my heart!
Wicked Gentleman is one of those stories that keeps you smiling throughout it. I was swept away in Jax and Stevie’s romance. The writing is phenomenal, making me feel as if I was in the story—rich and witty. Pastore has a way of penning elegance into everyday life with her characters, from their clothing to the locations they visit, you feel it all.
The author exposes the layers of this story one at a time, creating intrigue and the perfect amount of angst. It wouldn’t be a true Pastore book if there wasn’t some kind of drama. I absolutely loved how this worked into the story, the connections. Sexy, witty, and sweet, Wicked Gentleman is a must read romance.
I’m still reeling from this book, wishing I had my own wicked gentleman by my side.
Jax and Stevie are Wickedly Good!!! Christy does such an excellent job with building characters you’re going to love, hate and cheer for. Starting a new book is always a chore for me, it’s kinda my do or die phase to whether or not I will read it, but this had me sucked in and eager to read from the start. Stevie, college grad working as a caddy when her dream job falls through is having a rough go when her car dies at the swanky resort she works at, alongside her irritating ex-boyfriend, the golf pro. Enter the dashing businessman who’s not afraid to shake off his Armani to lend her a hand and set the stage for their story. Jax is the guy we all dream about; rich, handsome, honest and has a past he’s determined to leave there. Stevie is brash, sassy, sexy and the take-no-sh$t, make it on her own woman that doesn’t need Jax but can’t get enough of him. Can they work side by side and keep their relationship their own? Will f’d up family, ex’s or co-workers be their end? A Binge-Worthy-Must-Read!!!
Stevie worked hard for her college degree but after holding a position in her dream job for just a short while her position was eliminated. So it seems she has to go back to a job that she did while working her way through college, being a caddy at a resort. After an unfortunate incident she is rescued by Jax. Stevie, however, has no idea that Jax is the man who owns the resort that she works for. The chemistry is undeniable and who can say no to man like Jackson Hart.
Christy Pastore did an amazing job capturing and conveying the steam between Jax and Stevie while still keeping you on your toes with a few twists and turns. This is a book that I would definitely recommend to anyone.
This is a great book, a good story, and great characters. Very enjoyable.
I’m in LOVE with Jackson Hart! Seriously, this book is EVERYTHING I need in a 5 star read. Witty, sexy, and an amazing storyline with REAL emotions!.
Jackson Hart brings the Wicked but always as a Gentleman. Not only is he sexy as sin, but has a smirky smile that is panty melting H-O-T! And let’s not forget the kiss! This is the kind of kiss that leads to nothing but the best kind of trouble. The things I would let Jax to do me… ALL. THE. THINGS!
Christy Pastore has outdone herself! Stevie and Jax have a chemistry that burns through the pages. They click. They work. They set my body on fire! They are SCORTCHING!
Holy smokes! The chemistry that Jackson and Stevie have is so intoxicating. I could feel their connection as if I was standing right next to them.
I thoroughly enjoyed this romance and all the wicked encounters between Stevie and Jax. The book had me engrossed and heat had me sweltering. I adore his bossiness and her defiance. I love it when the women don’t just fall at the guys feet. 🙂 The ending was a bit more than surprising in a good way. I am so glad i got to read this one. You should too. It has a few separate lessons in it if you look for them.
This is my first book by this author and it won’t be the last for sure. Wicked Gentleman by Christy Pastore is one book you don’t want to skip out on. This is one of those books I couldn’t help get attached to the characters. I just kept wanting to hear more and more about them and didn’t want the story to end. The characters all had great chemistry you can’t help get sucked into. This story just flows and before you know it, you reach the end. I for one can’t wait to get sucked into another of Christy’s books!
This is the first book I have read from this author and it definitely won’t be the last. I loved Jax and Stevie from the second I met them. Individually they were great people and together a fabulous couple. Even though Stevie is several years younger than Jax she never came across as too young or whiny. She definitely held her own with Jax and considering he was a very successful man who owned several hotels that is saying something. Jax helped Stevie get a job with his company, a higher position than what she originally had, and even though Stevie felt she was unqualified for the position she actually did a great job and held her own.
Even though Stevie didn’t feel like an equal with Jax they actually had a lot in common namely their pasts. They both came from difficult family backgrounds which seemed to follow them into their relationship. I liked how even though it started to cause a little trouble between them they didn’t let it keep them apart. I loved the epilogue and it was actually a perfect ending for this couple. Glad it ended the way it did.
Wicked Gentleman is the the first book I’ve ever read by Christy Pastore and wow, I was very impressed!!! Jackson is a wicked, kinky and dirty talker which are all the things I love in a hero. Stevie (great name) is go getter, she’s relatable and enjoyable character. I fell in love with her immediately. Their relationship is full of hot and steamy sex that got me hot and bothered and had me squirming in my seat. Their connection was amazing and Christy Pastore did a wonderful job of creating a believable relationship.
And just when I thought I had the story figured out, Christy Pastore threw in a curve ball. I loved it and I was on edge waiting to see what would happen next. Wicked Gentleman is a very sexy book with a great plot that I definitely recommend.
I loved this book from cover to cover!!! it was engaging, sexy, heartfelt and the characters were very likable! I read it in one sitting because I just couldn’t put it down!
One thing you can count on with a Christy Pastore book, is good solid writing. Books that flow great and have just enough laugh out loud banter between the characters that it eases you into the romance that is slowly building.
This is a great story of Stevie who has just started a job with Hart Hotels as a caddy on the golf course. Although its not the job she should be doing, it is what was available at the time.
Being forced out of Miami, Jax has spent the past 3 years rebuilding his name. Hart Hotels is making it big now. Expansion after expansion is in the works.
When the young lady in the hotel parking lot with car trouble catches his eye, there is no turning back.
Jax and Stevie are meant for each other! These two are from totally different ends of the spectrum but manage to understand each other completely. Its not a smooth sailing for these two to be together, but is any relationship?
I need to seriously have a heart to heart with Stevie and see if she would allow me to go on a weekend jaunt with Jax on his yacht!
Great job, Christy!!!

Christy, first congrats on Wicked Gentleman, what an amazing book and hot cover!
Stevie is in love with art & history and just got her dream job, but her dreams just crashed after the museum lost the funding and she ends up working as a caddying girl at Jackson’s Resort.
Jackson runs out of his hometown because of family wrongdoing to start a new life.
Nothing better than a broken car and an alpha male to the rescue.
I’m so in love with this characters Christy, well done!
5 romantic stars
Christy Pastore is an author I can trust to provide an escape everytime I open one of her novels. She immediately transports me to the lives of her characters who become dear to my heart. She develops worlds by painting pictures with her words. They male me want to crawl in and live there.
I connected with Stevie right away. Her one liners while experiencing embarrassing situations made me laugh so much. She is sassy, stronger than she realizes, and compassionate. Her love for her family is endearing. Christy writes killer heroes but her ladies always take the cake!
Jax is charming and intelligent. Everything you would expect from a Wicked Gentleman but you can tell there is a lot more behind those blue eyes. The dash of mystery was reminiscent of Fifteen Weekends. I love how Christy gets me all wound up my throwing these things in her stories.
The epilogue was everything I wanted to see happen! Another FIVE STAR read from Christy Pastore.
Wickedly Good! Wicked Gentleman is an intensely passionate and endearing love story. Stevie and Jax are an unlikely pair. They circulate in different circles and are at very different places in their lives. Yet, their chemistry and connection are undeniable. These two characters really draw you into the book. Stevie is independent, determined, and self deprecating. Jax is focused, tenacious, and sexy as sin. I love that Mrs. Pastore develops such genuine and intriguing characters. Their backstories are fully fleshed out. The dialogue is honest and mature. I could feel their emotions and their choices ring true. The characters truly drive this story along, with their commitment and passion for one another. The heat between Stevie and Jax leaps off the page from their first encounter and sizzles all the way to their HEA. Wicked Gentleman will leave you fully satisfied in every way.
Mrs. Pastore has done it again with Wicked Gentleman. She brings you Stevie and Jax two unlikely individuals whose sparks flies from the moment they meet but little does Stevie know that man that helps her out her bind is actually her new employer, well that’s neither here nor there. Stevie is a caddy at one of Jax’s hotels just until her dream job opens up again. Her dreams of becoming a curator is put on hold. Jax is revamping his hotel business after being run out of Miami three years prior. But the chemistry Gods are aligned for this couple. Jax is a gentleman with wicked ways in the bedroom. Jax sees so much more then a beautiful body from Stevie, he sees her eye for detail and makes her an offer she can’t refuse, but at what cost? Both their upbringings aren’t anything to call home about, but pay attention because the past will come up.
Sexy, witty and a well balanced story that will keep you turning the pages.
I loved Stevie and Jax’s story. Out of all the books I’ve read of Mrs. Pastore’s this one is my favorite. It has a good plot and the characters are lovable. There were a couple of surprises that I didn’t see coming.
Stevie is a sweet and intelligent young woman that’s been having a bit of a bad luck streak. That is until her bad luck brings Jax into her life. Now everything is about to change.
Jax may be a rich man but his life hasn’t always been luxurious. He worked hard and built he’s company from the ground up. Jax is a man who nobody thought would settle down including himself but meeting Stevie has him feeling things he’s never felt before.
Can they both overcome the obstacles that stand in their way and remain together?
Can I just say this book had the most delicious, handsome, kind, sexy and downright beautiful man as the hero!
Jackson is my new all time book boyfriend. He gave me tingles and made my skin break out in goose bumps wit the way he treated Stevie. I mean, seriously what rich and gorgeous man treats his girl with the most gentleness caring way.
Stevie cracked me up from the first page of this book until the end. She was such a sassy girl and I loved every minute of her dialogue. She also had a soft side to her that I loved. She knew when to be a sassy girl and when to be a gentle girl. Of course, her gentleness came out when it came to Jackson, her mom and her friends. Jackson had such a wicked and dirty mouth that sure made me blush!
My first Christy Pastore book and now I need to read more from her because she seriously impressed me with this book and I loved every minute of it. Her cover and her blurb sure did not disappoint and the storyline definitely had me hooked!
Christy Pastore is a new author to me, but after reading this book I can’t wait to read more. This wasn’t a light read by any means, but it kept my attention and I didn’t want to put it down. Morals aside, when you find your person…you just know. Jax and Stevie kept each other grounded and motivated at work and at home. This was a great story.
