THE KING OF WALL STREET IS BROUGHT TO HIS KNEES BY AN AMBITIOUS BOMBSHELL.

I keep my two worlds separate.

At work, I’m King of Wall Street. The heaviest hitters in Manhattan come to me to make money. They do whatever I say because I’m always right. I’m shrewd. Exacting. Some say ruthless.

At home, I’m a single dad trying to keep his fourteen year old daughter a kid for as long as possible. If my daughter does what I say, somewhere there’s a snowball surviving in hell. And nothing I say is ever right.

When Harper Jayne starts as a junior researcher at my firm, the barriers between my worlds begin to dissolve. She’s the most infuriating woman I’ve ever worked with.

I don’t like the way she bends over the photocopier—it makes my mouth water.

I hate the way she’s so eager to do a good job—it makes my dick twitch.

And I can’t stand the way she wears her hair up exposing her long neck. It makes me want to strip her naked, bend her over my desk and trail my tongue all over her body.

If my two worlds are going to collide, Harper Jayne will have to learn that I don't just rule the boardroom. I’m in charge of the bedroom, too.

The King of Wall Street is a sexy, stand alone, contemporary romance.

I found my King !

Reviewed in Australia on 25 August 2016

Firstly I've took a few days of processing my thoughts before writing this review because King Of Wall Street rendered me speechless ( that's an achievement for anyone to do to me lol - I'm a talker ;) ) however Louise Bay literally left my thought processing scattered to the wind after I finished this book !! I knew exactly how I was feeling but I just couldn't conjure the vocabulary that expressed it to really do this book justice......I can only hope this review does portray the absolute brilliance of this read!

This is now the fifth novel I've read from this author and I can honestly say I've never been disappointed with any of her books but this story set it apart. Louise Bay is now a go to author for me in that I will click any of her titles that is released as I know I'm not going to be disappointed.

King Of Wall Street without doubt has to be a firm favourite of mine for certain. I was extremely lucky to receive this book as an ARC and it arrived on my kindle at 7pm, after mummy duties were fulfilled and the children were asleep I dived straight in at about 10pm.
By 3.30am I was reading the last page and left feeling in total awe of this authors ability to suck me into the fictional world she created. I could NOT put this book down - the sleep deprivation was so worth it !!
Not only was the story line intense and mind gripping for me but the humour and character interaction was consuming as well. I felt like I was part of this book, almost like an extra character that was observing the scene from within the scene. Any author that can make you feel immersed in the performance they are describing is worth their weight in gold in my view and has accomplished their job. Reading is often described as zoning out of reality for a while and being lost in a fantasy - well this author ticked the box twice with this story.
Even though this book was gifted to me as an ARC I will most definitely still be clicking this on release day - that's my way of not only supporting indie authors but also thanking this author for an amazing reading experience. I even went back and re-read the next day too.

From the first page I read I was hooked in the story. I could feel the tension immediately between the two main protagonists and it wasn't a lust tension but a frustration tension.
Max King is described as the King of Wall Street for a reason- he's ruthless and gets results by being ruthless. His reputation is one of utter control and he's known for being ice cold in his interactions. This serves him well as he has no other priorities other than work or his 14 yr old daughter Amanda.
Enter Harper Jayne into Max's world and his axis don't just shift they become non existent. Harper really throws him of balance which annoys him that one of his employees can have an effect on him so much. The icy tension can be cut through with a knife yet bubbling away below the surface is a heated desire both are desperate to contain from breaking free.
Throughout their journey I felt every emotion they endured because of the authors ability to deliver the scene using full descriptive language that really binds you to the characters.
I love that Max was a father in this story and not just your typical millionaire alpha male because this gave so much more depth to him and brought a sense of reality. His interactions with his teenage counterpart were spot on and down right hilarious - it took me back to my stroppy 14 year old self and made me giggle ! Well Done Louise you captured that perfectly.

To conclude (without going on to give away any spoilers) this is a must read, whether your an avid fan of this author or your new to her work you won't be disappointed with this read :)

A great story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 January 2019

This was such an amazing book that I couldn't put it down and had to read it from start to finish. This book had a lot of Sass and adventure featuring a cocky yet totally gorgeous Alpha Male business man who knows what he wants and will do whatever it takes to make it big and we have a beautifully smart headstrong and determined young woman who joins Max's company as is her dream to prove to herself and her Father (Sprem Donor) that she's just as good as any of her step Brothers and can make it on her own without financial benefits it doesn't hurt that her Boss is Hot...

The story kept going even if there were some parts that dragged on a bit. I especially liked how Harpers and Max's story intertwined together showing their fiery chemistry that exploded at will and there innate ability to drive each other crazy to distraction. Their passion was like fire and I even had a fan myself once or twice (which means there's a few very good scenes 😉) but all in all a great book that I very much enjoyed.....

Boring

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2016

Verified Purchase

I just didn't connect with this book as clearly the other reviewers did. I found the plot boring, slow and my mind wandering while reading it (which is never a good sign).

Neither character was fully flushed out. And because they were so two dimensional I found them hard to connect with. There really was zero back story with either which can help this process.

The biggest thing for me was that they lacked chemistry. Some books are so well written the characters ooze it off the page. Not this one. While the sex scenes were well written I just didn't feel that draw to one another that all good romance novels have.

Must admit that I am really disappointed with this book, especially after reading the positive reviews first.

I'll be Max King's queen any day !!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2017

Blimey did I love Max King in all his bossy, brooding yet utterly charming & delectable ways.

He was exactly what I expected, but the bonus is, he was a whole lot more. His alphaness is smouldering, his daddy skills are swoon worthy & his capacity to love (when he opens finally opens his heart) is all consuming. He is the kind of hero you just can't help fall in love with.

Both Max & Harper held me fast as I laughed, swooned & panted a fair bit through their roller coaster of a journey. Lust may have been what drove them, but once the heart came into play & business decisions cloud delicate feelings, the outcome tugs at the heart & I was left hoping & praying that both of these gorgeous characters got a future they both deserved.

Another fabulous H & H from Louise!

Nice story hot read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2016

I did not take to the heroine Harper Jayne who has obsessed over Max King since her college days. Her goal on completing education was to work for Max King of King & Associates. Whilst she admires Max, maybe even in a bit of lust for him she has a twisted view of men as her mother was left to raise her alone. Sat waiting for the promised visits by a daddy who never came instilled in her a deep distrust and a hatred for the man who made her. It goes deeper though as she watched all three of her half siblings accept jobs at JD Stanley whilst she was never even offered and she so wanted to slap him down.

Grace her best friend helps her move into her new apartment, they are sat drinking wine and laughing over the verbal abuse her report gained her from Max when they hear sounds from the apartment above which goes from heels clicking across the floor to panting, moaning and begging and the headboard smacking the wall all indicate someone upstairs is having more fun than them. What she doesn't realise is its her boss!

Various run ins with Max lead to sessions in bed and conversation of "this bedroom is Vegas" and discussions on this is one off. Each time Max handles it badly and Harper becomes increasingly hostile. (I do wish she would zip her gob and give him a chance to say what he needs to!!)

Harper misjudges Max when she discovers that he has a teenage daughter and never married the mother. Then she thinks he is using her for an in with her father so when he removes her from the team her reaction is hostile, completely over the top with misreading the situation.

Two weeks pass and Grace finally convinces her to turn her phone on and listen. She even gets Harper to visit her father to talk because until she puts down this crusade against her father she will never move on.

This is a tale of forgiveness and a poster event on how important communication is in a relationship, especially if you want it to move forward. Yes they do get their HEA!

King of Wall Street by Lousise Bay.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 June 2017

Verified Purchase

This was a brilliant storyline of a single father of a teenager, who was growing up too fast. 10 going 20 ! A single dad, trying to deal with all the issues a young daughter throws at him, plus he meets Harper..... This is a fast moving, sexy, maddeningly frustrating experience for both main characters, but oh so much fun to watch/read from the outside. This author has become one of my favourites. I have downloaded The Empire State (boxed set) and Park Avenue Prince. Have just read Duke of Manhattan. A really enjoyable read. Well worth your time.

I enjoyed this book, that's almost a guarantee with this author, but in my opinion its not the best one she's written. Yes, its good and will keep you mightily entertained - hence the 4 star rating - literally any and all of her other books are better. I particularly like that some of her stories are set in London, some in the US, and others cross the Pond. She also uses connected characters so there is a thread of continuity so you feel like you know the people she is writing about. That said, you don't really need to read them in a precise order. If you haven't read any of Louise Bay's other books - lucky you, there's much for you to enjoy.

It was a typical office romance read but I really enjoyed it! Was annoyed with Max at the beginning but the more I read the more I liked him and Amanda. It was a quick read but sexy, funny and a bit sad when it comes to Amanda dad’s problems. All together good read and I will definitely read more of Louise’s books. It was a stand alone but other characters from this book have their own book so it’s a treat!

As with other Louise Bay books, this didn't disappoint! Another feisty and independent female lead, who, although a bit infuriating at times, was a mix of vulnerability, sexiness and intelligence! I loved Max! Both of them are very well suited and you can't help but root for them from the start! Great story!

This was the first book by Louise Bay that I have read and I was not disappointed. The story line had me hooked from the beginning; the characters were well rounded and extremely likable. I loved that Max was a contrast of strong businessman and loving hands-on father and that Harper was no pushover in or out of the boardroom or bedroom. I would highly recommend both this book and the author. I will definitely be more of her books in the future.
