• Manic Monday (Charity Case, #1) by Piper Rayne
• Clean Slate

Plus he was great with the kids! Plus, we even have some mean moms too! A whole group of wild women that add the levity needed to balance our crazy lives. This book is a delightful diversion that is well written with plenty of steam, humor, sweetness, and engagement that we love. You can safely add Reed to your Book Boyfriend list too. Apr 21, Konny rated it it was amazing. Manic Monday by Piper and Rayne is the first book in their brand new Charity Case Series and hands down my favorite read by this outstanding author duo. I recommend to read the prequel to Manic Monday, Clean Slate currently free , first.

Victoria Clarke has recently relocated to Chicago. Shes a divorced single mom of a adorable 7 year old girl and cares for her mother. New - old city, new job, new Manic Monday by Piper and Rayne is the first book in their brand new Charity Case Series and hands down my favorite read by this outstanding author duo. New - old city, new job, new life.

On the first day of her daughters school she runs into a man she never had believed seeing again. Reed is a good guy, honest, driven, handsome, faithful - and he loves Victoria with his whole heart. It was my pleasure reading Manic Monday. I laughed, I cried and I connected immediatedly with the characters. I strted reading and was hooked from chapter one.

I read the book in one sitting because I had to know what happens next. I recommend Manic Monday and give 5 stars. Apr 09, Shannon rated it it was amazing Shelves: So let's just say Manic Monday is a very close second to Mad About the Banker , because this girl does not want to get on that girls bad side. With Manic Monday Piper and Rayne once again deliver a light, easy, enjoyable read. I'm not sure how they're able to regularly churn out these fun and charming books, that a 4.

I'm not sure how they're able to regularly churn out these fun and charming books, that are as consistent as they are entertaining. I love that you really know what to expect when you open one of their books, and that is not a bad thing at all! I loved Victoria and Jade! Victoria is such a strong, determined single mother to Jade, and a caring and loving daughter herself.

Not giving it a second thought, she uprooted her and Jade's lives when her mother needed them. I found that so admirable, even if it did make me sad she was leaving Jagger! I'd highly recommend grabbing Clean Slate , a quick prequel to this book, which gives you just a bit of background on her relationship with Jagger and what brings her back home to Chicago. Jade is a precocious little seven year old who completely my stole my heart- you could just feel all the love she had to share.

And I loved Reed! He is all kinds of sweet, sexy, swoony, perfection! The fact that he and Victoria's ex used to be friends held no bearing for him and he wasn't going to let that be used as an excuse by Vic. I loved his persistency and dedication! So many check marks in the plus column when it came to Reed, I don't think there was one thing I didn't love about him!

I love that there wasn't a lot of crazy conflict or unnecessary drama between Reed and Victoria, thrown in for the sake of drama. Manic Monday was sweet, funny, steamy- all the good I've come to expect from a Piper Rayne book. I can't even begin to tell you all how much I absolutely love and admire these two lovely ladies right here. I know without a doubt that I can pick up any one of their stories and be in for great time filled with a barrel of laughs!

Let me just say that these two certainly did not disappoint with Manic Monday , the first book in their brand new Charity Case series! When it was first announced that Victoria Jagger's secretary from the Dirty Truth series was finally getting her very own book in this brand new series I was super excited because I loved how sassy she was and how she was one of the only people bold enough to put Jagger in his place.

She was definitely one of those secondary characters that readers love to followup on. Even if it's not with the person you originally thought they would end up with Victoria and Reed's story is the perfect balance of a sweet and sexy romance with just a dash of swoon worthy charm that would instantly melt the hearts of any reader! Reed is so freaking amazing that I wish men like him really existed out here in the real world.

He knows how to treat a women right and will certainly captivate your heart! I have no doubt in my mind that this series is going to be one of my new favorites and I cannot wait to see how the next two books are going to play out! If you love a good romantic comedy then this book is definitely for you! Manic Monday is sweet and sexy - trademark Piper Rayne. Victoria, Jagger's old assistant from Chore Play , has divorced her jerk ex and moved to Chicago with her adorable daughter, Jade, so they can help take care of Victoria's mom. Victoria's down on men, sort of down on life in general, when she sees a hot guy at her daughter's school dropping off a boy he's somehow related to; how, she's not sure, but she means to find out.

Sounds like a potentially good thing, but not when he turns out to be a Manic Monday is sweet and sexy - trademark Piper Rayne. Sounds like a potentially good thing, but not when he turns out to be a a lawyer, like her ex, and b her ex's best man at their wedding. But, Reed is not to be dissuaded when he decides he wants Victoria. He's persistent, and sweet, and charming, and soon Victoria's falling under his spell. But when Reed has to make a choice to stay in Chicago or move and take a job offer, will he choose a promotion or his life with Victoria, Jade and Henry?

I adore Reed and call dibs on that man. He's sweet and sexy and so charming that my little heart swooned. Victoria came across as more than a little prickly at first, leading to not such a great first impression, but considering her circumstances, I was able to give her a pass, and she grew on me. Some great secondary characters like Chelsea, Victoria's coworker, Hannah, Victoria's new boss, Jade, Victoria's daughter, and Henry, Reed's little brother, help round out the cast of this sweet story.

Piper Rayne has definitely made me a lifelong fan with Manic Monday, so looking forward to Chelsea's story next Afternoon Delight! I received an ARC for an honest review. Apr 16, Shawna rated it it was amazing Shelves: Ladies are going to love meeting Piper Rayne's latest book boyfriend, Reed Warner!

Universal Link - http: Manic Monday is a hilariously sweet story that give you the warm fuzzies long after its done. Piper and Rayne knocked this romcom out of the park! I was simultaneously laughing and clenching my thighs. The sweet and sexy with the hilarity adds all up into a definite five star read! Monday's have never been so hot! After seeing Reed again for the first time in years, Victoria is smittened but closed off. He's the perfect gentleman.

He's got extremely hot chemistry with her. H Manic Monday is a hilariously sweet story that give you the warm fuzzies long after its done. He's also a lawyer and was her ex-husband's best man at their wedding.

That doesn't stop Reed. He pursues her with passion, he shows her how real men can be. He also shows her he can be a great parental figure to her daughter. Reed just shows up and takes her for the sexy, sweet ride she needs. Manic Monday will have you in stitches. The writing is seamless. The characters are so much fun. The banter has you giggling. This is a thoroughly exceptional read, and one that I will be reading again when I need my next pick me up! I can't wait to see what these ladies have in store for Chelsea and Hannah!

More so when she kept pushing a perfectly nice guy away and unfairly expected Reed to make every leap for her while she stood and waited for him to jump over hurdle after hurdle in an effort to prove himself unlike her ex. And that was how I found myself detesting Victoria's own brand of selfishness, to the extent where Reed had to make the sacrifice of his career for her without her actively trying to fight for their relationship at all. Gosh I just love Piper Rayne books. I also love how they are all interconnected in some way but complete standalones.

For me this makes a character connection stronger. Manic Monday was so good. I adored her from the start and was thrilled to learn she was getting her own story. Victoria is a strong, independent heroine. She is not a push over and isn't afraid to speak her mind. This is trait of hers that 4. This is trait of hers that she unfortunately learned the hard way. Reed was so perfect. I loved him from the very minute he appeared. He was so smooth and sexy.

As well as attentive and romantic. When he sees Victoria, all bets are off. Reed will do anything to make her his. Of course there are some obstacles that get in his way, the biggest being Victoria herself. I really enjoyed how their relationship played out. I felt their connection. It was strong and believable. This book also has a good amount of secondary characters that added more depth and entertainment to this story.

I don't want to say too much more because this book is not too long and the pace is nice and steady.

You can probably read it in a few hours without interruptions. I read it in one sitting while my kids were in school, so happy to not have to deal with interruptions. I absolutely recommend this book. You should check out all Piper Rayne books. They are some of my favorites. This author duo has never let me down.

This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. Apr 26, Read. Repeat Blog rated it it was amazing. These two ladies are on fire. They just keep giving us wonderful story after wonderful story, with such engaging characters. This story sucked me in and I devoured it and cannot wait for more.

As much as I loved Reed and Victoria, the side characters were just as engaging. Apr 24, Laundry rated it it was amazing. I started Manic Monday on a Monday. Anywho, this is my first time reading Piper Rayne. Obviously from the excerpt, I knew the sense of humor would be right up my alley. So clearly Victoria and I are on the same wavelength. Vic has been divorced for 2 years from Pete — her ex husband who is also a big shot lawyer back in California.

Reed is the assistant district attorney for Chicago. Or so we think. Oh no, no, no. Like not even a little bit. Reed is adorably persistent with Victoria and before we know it the two are officially dating. But there are obstacles. Like Pete sized ones. I will say this — I usually hate the ex in books I read. Maybe I should have? But at the end of this story, I was actually hoping he would find his own second chance at love and I would have a chance to read about it… hint hint Piper. Piper Rayne, I do not know how you ladies do it. You make me break a rib kidding from laughing then turn around and bring that tickle to my nose that signals the forthcoming tears.

I cannot wait to see what you ladies come up with next! Roarke Baldwin has been chasing after Hannah Crowley since the beginning of the Charity Case Series and it has definitely peaked my interest. Well, all the questions are answered in the third installment of this series. Hannah is dead set on never getting married again and not even dating after her horrible experience. And Roarke is there to push her out of her comfort zone. He is persistent as all hell kinda like the other men in this series and goes above and beyond trying to get to Hannah.

I loved that about this book, the persistence and determination that each of these guys showed towards the ladies they were trying to impress. Hannah is a ball buster to the core and it is awesome to see her melt for Roarke against her better judgement, it is even more beautiful to see her open up and trust again. Roarke is the curveball here because his character has so much character that my jaw was on the floor most of this book. His background is so much more diverse than I could have imagined and I liked it a lot. It showed a realism to him that I did not imagine I would get.

All in all, I was so happy with this book, it ended the series well. I love that a powerful woman like Hannah got her Happy Ending with a man that cherishes her! This slow burn romance brought the HEAT! I absolutely loved this storyline. This was my first book by the author, but it will not be my last! Hannah, fresh off a divorce from her ex who not only cheated, but took her money in the divorce settlement too! Now she has started a non-profit foundation to empower women. To lift them up and show them they are valued. Roarke Baldwin may be a silver fox, but he also happens to be the attorney that helped her ex take her money.

But now he's back in the picture to get what he wants and Roarke always gets what he wants. And he wants Hannah. He's wanted her for a year, but was biding his time following her divorce. Hannah needs a venue for a gala and the only person left to help her is Roarke.

1. Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley.
2. Pieces of Me.
3. Manic Monday.
4. See a Problem?.

She has to make a deal with the devil to get what she needs I absolutely fell in love with these two and their story. Roarke was so much more than he first appeared to be. And Hannah was a strong, female character doing her best to make a change in the world and empower women. There are also some great supporting characters, Hannah's bff, that were so much fun! This story was a slow burn.

These two had incredible sexual tension and an irresistible attraction, but this story was also so much more. You will fall in love with Roarke. If I could give this book more than five stars, I would. It is that good. This is the third, and final book in this series, but you do not have to have read the other two books, to enjoy this one.

Hannah is the beautiful, but strong woman, that is still angry over her divorce a year ago from her cheating ex, that carrys over to his attorney, Roarke, also known as the "silver fox". Along with her anger at him, she is also very attracted to him. What develops from there is a very fun book, that will keep you laughing. You will also love the sweet, hot romance that develops between them. Once I started reading this book, I had a really hard time going to work each day, because I wanted to keep reading. I loved this book from beginning to end, so I highly recommend it..

I really enjoy these two Authors and am looking to more of Victoria, Hannah and Chelsea. Loved Jagger, every man can be tamed by a woman, sounds like Quinn tamed him.

Am looking forward to see if Pete is as easy going about this move as it appears. Quick intro to what seems like will be a great series. Apr 23, Elizabeth rated it really liked it Shelves: This is a prequel to a new, full length release Manic Monday. It's cute, but really just give us a taste for who Victoria is and the set up for her being in Chicago. It seems that Victoria may have been a secondary character in another book and Clean Slate is the transition from that world to the one being created in Manic Monday.

Apr 26, Wendy Livingstone rated it it was amazing. This is a well written story which gives a great background to Victoria. Looking forward to reading the full novel. I highly recommend these authors for all readers, you will certainly never be disappointed in their work! Apr 20, Donna Smith rated it really liked it.

Very quick read I've met Vicoria before in a previous book and felt an instant connection to her snarky attitude. This gives a more in depth view of her as she starts her new life. May 04, Suzi Plank rated it really liked it. Quick teaser Short, 35 pages, story introducing main character s in Book "Manic Monday". Enough backstory to pique your interest in reading the book but without any angst or drama to leave you hanging if you don't. I am going to read "Manic Monday". May 28, Andyi rated it it was ok. I guess it's a start If you like it could be the start of something and then it wasn't I understand that it's prequel but I'm not sure actually want to continue where this is going.

Apr 20, Heather rated it it was amazing. This is a great quick read to set up the new Charity Case series by Piper Rayne. It helps to put into perspective just how Victoria goes from working for Jagger in California to moving to the Midwest. Looking forward to diving into this series! Apr 19, Bibliophile Chloe rated it it was amazing. What a lovely introduction to a sure to be fantastic series by the dynamic duo Piper Rayne!
