"The Playboy" by Madeline Ash is book three in the "Hot Aussie Heroes" series. This can be read as a standalone. This is the story of Alexia Burton and Parker Hargreaves. Alexia became a successful actress. She wants to change to a different type of role than she normally plays. This role is a romantic role. She will not get this role if she does not become sexually confident. Alexia decides to go back to Byron Bay to see if she can have a summer fling. The one person she does not want to see is Parker. He was a rich kid that treated her badly. Of course, one of the first person she sees is Parker. Parker has changed and is really upset with how he treated Alexia when they were teens. He wants to make amends and wants a meaningful relationship which is quite the opposite from when they were teens. So will Parker help her with getting ready for this new role? This is a really cute, sweet, and steamy story about second chances. People can change. I especially liked Parker's character. A great quick romantic story! I received a copy of this book from Tule Publishing for an honest review. FYI, contains mature content.
