I seriously don't know how she does it time after time, but she did it again! Katy Evan's has written another angst filled winner! There is layer upon layer of angst filled tension culminating into a single explosion of epic proportions.

I was pulled into this mysterious story page after page and couldn't put it down. One dirty talking daredevil and one uppity, but yet down to earth fashion mogul made for a page scorching couple, even when she kept denying it.

Jimmy the hot devil in disguise was chosen by Lizzy to be their fashion labels next "IT" man and boy did he deliver. But there are secrets, lies, and expectations at stake for both James and Elizabeth that can bring both of their worlds crashing down.

This is a definite must read with two characters that are chasing their dreams at almost all costs. Even though it seems their going different directions, their paths cross unexpectedly, but with life altering changes. Hot chemistry and an intriguing plot keep this a fast paced read worth the time.

This book is amazing. James aka Jimmy is a daredevil on a youtube channel. Lizzie aka Elizabeth is a rich woman and only wants the appreciation from her father. She meets him at a bar and she gets an idea for her big launch for her dads company. I would have loved to see him in a tuxedo. Thats when the big adventures takes place. This book just grabs you in and can't stop reading it. I had to know what happened in the end. Highly recommend it. I love these two. Another good read by Katy Evans.

3 DAREDEVIL CROWNS

This was an okay read. It had its moments and some likable characters, but there were also moments that fizzled our or seemed to be over the top.

My favorite part of the story is the daredevil. James was utterly delicious. I liked his persona and how he loved Charleigh. His ethical struggle made sense, and his insecurities matched his character. As with most heroes, his bedroom skills were in point, and the bedroom scenes with the heroine were great.

The heroine, Lizzy, was hit or miss for me. There were times I loved her, but there were also moments where I could understand her Dad’s decision. I needed her to be a bit more mature to be likable.

The story, overall, is pretty predictable. I enjoyed it, but I also didn’t have a pressing need to pick it up and devour it. It was a good read, truly. It just lacked the punch I need in a story to engage me.

Katy Evans has delivered another great love story in her trademark gripping style. As always once you start one of her books you are drawn into the world she weaves and you become invested in the tale she tells. She will have you swooning from beginning to end with Jimmy.

I loved the characters Katy has given us. The sexual tension between Lizzy and Jimmy is palpable, a slow burn that has you on the edge of your seat waiting to see when Lizzy will give in to her feelings. The banter between them was engaging and thoroughly enjoying.

Wonderful story that makes this a must read

5 stars #MANBABE
I freaking adore Katy Evans and everything she writes and she didn't disappoint with this one either. I finished this book in one sitting bcz i am so in love with "Devil". Katy writes best sexy sweet alpha male and James "Jimmy" Rowan is damn hot. I enjoyed all the sexual tension between Lizzy and Jimmy.
Lizzy wanted to find a perfect male model for his father's new line of suits. When it didn't work out she decided to make a perfect man. Jimmy is a rather simple guy who do stunts on YouTube for money. He's DAREDEVIL. It would take alot to made him perfect but he was her only choice!! Would they get their HEA or will Lizzy had to let him go??
Million Dollar Devil is amazing, sweet, swoony, funny love story with yummy Devil... He literally sweeped me off my feet 😉Prepare to be charmed by the DAREDEVIL himself!!!

Sadly, I didn't connect with this story as much as I usually do with Katy Evans books. I was disappointed by the lack of depth in the storyline and in the characters. I have enjoyed other books by this author, but unfortunately this one was not for me.

MILLION DOLLAR DEVIL is the first instalment in Katy Evans’ contemporary, adult MILLION DOLLAR erotic, romance series. This is YouTube daredevil James Rowan, and fashion heiress Elizabeth ‘Lizzy’ Banks’ story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Lizzy and James) MILLION DOLLAR DEVIL follows Lizzy Banks as she is entrusted by her father to hire the new face of Banks LTD men’s clothing line. When all of her options refuse the one million dollar offer, Lizzy goes off-script and hires a man who is famous for his daredevil stunts. Enter James Rowan, and the man with whom Lizzy will fall in love. What ensues are Lizzie’s attempts to ‘clean up’ and build James into the ‘perfect man’ and the fall-out as their relationship becomes fodder for the competition.

James ‘Jimmy’ Rowan works hard to provide for his younger brother since the death of their parents years before. The offer of a million dollars to be the new face of Banks LTD men’s fashion line will set James and his brother Charlie up for a very long time but threats from more than one insider source pull James out of Lizzy’s life leaving a heart broken young woman in its’ wake.

The relationship between Lizzy and James begins as a business arrangement wherein Lizzy has three months to change James from daredevil to the perfect man. We are up close and personal as Lizzy ‘teaches’ James the dos and don’ts of the face of Banks LTD; and James teaches Lizzy how a real man treats the woman he loves. The palpable sexual attraction is steamy and hot. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to James’ brother Charlie; his friend and bartender Luke; Lizzy’s best friend and attorney Jeanine; her father Harold Banks, and Harold’s assistant LB. The requisite evil has many faces.

MILLION DOLLAR DEVIL is a story of opposites attract; a sexy, spicy and flirty romance. The premise is spirited; the characters are energetic; the romance is captivating and sensual.

Mary – ☆☆☆☆
Lizzy works for Banks LTD, they make men's suits, and she is the boss’s daughter. She is always trying to show daddy that she can do the job, but he thinks she should be doing more like charity work.

So when it is time to find a man to be the face of the new Banks LTD men's line, Lizzy is going to find that man. She just didn't know where she was going to have to go to find him.

Jimmy is a YouTube daredevil; he will do anything on a dare as long as money is involved. It has been this way since his parents died and he was left to raise his little brother. He only wants a better life for Charlie. So, when the smart, well-dressed woman shows up at the local dive bar offering him money, he can't refuse it.

Lizzy thinks she can pass Jimmy off as the new face of Banks LTD as long as she turns him into a gentleman. But what she doesn't realize is that she likes him just the way he is. The more they work together, the more the feelings between them grow.

Can Lizzy and Jimmy aka James fool everyone until the end of the new campaign? Can a good girl fall in love with the guy from the wrong side of town? Will she lose everything, including her father, to be with James? Will Jimmy change his whole life just to be with Lizzy?

I really liked this story and the idea of Lizzy and Jimmy. I think it is another good story from Katy Evans, it's not awesome but it's good to me. I hope you give it a chance and that you like it too.


Mary Jo – ☆☆☆
This book was hard to read. To me, there was little to no spark between James and Lizzy. At times, I felt that the character of Lizzy was trying too hard and that James’ entire character got lost.

I found myself skipping pages towards the end just to see how Lizzy and James wound up together.

Katy has once again given us a swoon worthy alpha male . James Rowan claims to be no Prince Charming . He is a gruff, street smart, sexy but banged up bod and internet sensation daredevil ! Lizzy is a smart, sassy, business minded woman from the right side of the tracks.... so they say. She is out looking for the next big thing and hopefully prove to herself and her father that she is not just a pretty face but a savvy busniess woman .
The moment she ducks into the seedy corner bar she is certain she is out of her comfort zone but she holds her head high and bellies up to the bar. James works out of the booth in the back of so-called bar and when these two meet it is electric. Lizzy won't admit it and James well he does't stop letting her know his intentions . They soon come to an agreement and this is their journey!!
Loved it ! Katy always writes these wonderful characters that always have the ability to yank me into their world!

Ugh. I find Katy Evans books to be hit or miss for me. And while the blurb for Million Dollar Devil completely hooked me, I didn’t love the story itself. I liked it. I just didn’t love it.

I really liked the idea of the reversed roles in this Pygmalion story, but the overall execution of Elizabeth falling in love with her creation, James, dragged for me. The contrast between menswear exec Elizabeth and YouTube daredevil Jimmy was great in terms of how this romance needed to build. Her entire career is on the line with the success of presenting James as the new face of Banks LTD. But when Jimmy’s past is threatened to be exposed by a rival, how far will he go to protect Lizzy’s future?

There are some nice moments between Lizzy and Jimmy, and I think I liked them better than Elizabeth and James. But they just didn’t have “IT” for me in terms of absolutely loving them as a couple. And I really wanted her to grow a backbone where her dad was concerned.

Overall, this story would be enjoyable for Katy Evans readers and lovers of the trope. It just didn’t pack the punch for me that I was hoping for.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

I LOVED this book! Everything about it is perfection. The banter between James and Elizabeth is funny and their chemistry sizzles. That's one of my favorite things about a Katy Evans book - you can always feel the connection between the characters.

And Katy writes the most devilishly delicious male characters. A little wicked, a whole lot handsome, and cocky as hell.

5 MILLION DOLLAR STORY!! Katy Evans has done it again with the perfect story to keep you turning pages. James is perfection in everyway possible. Lizzy is so strong, beautiful and knows what she wants. These two have so much chemistry they will heat your Kindle up. If you love great writing and perfect characters, here you go.

This one was really fun. Jimmy was all kinds of hot and unrefined in the very best possible way. Lizzy was trying to be so perfect she forgot to be herself. I loved their banter, their chemistry and also the way they changed each other for the better. Great, easy read.

Million Dollar Devil by Katy Evans is the first book in her new Million Dollar series full of chemistry and steaminess. Lizzy Banks wants to become the CEO for her father’s company. She needs to find the next face for the company and never expected it to be as difficult as it has become. Then she meets James Rowan. James is a social media celebrity who gets paid for the stunts he performs.

James and Lizzy have chemistry right from the start, but since James will be working for her, she wants to keep things professional. While she works to make him into what they need, she can’t deny how the man he is intrigues her. Lizzy is driven and strong. James is caring and strong and has no issues showing Lizzy how he feels. Million Dollar Devil by Katy Evans was steamy and witty.

Happy reading!

Mixed feelings on this one. To be honest, I loved it and I disliked it.

Enjoyed it immensely just some parts I didn't agree with, or lost interest. Overall, I enjoyed this, loved the writing.

Million Dollar Devil is the first book in the Million Dollar series and the first book I have read by this author. It was very well written and engaged me from the start however I was really put off by both Lizzy and James to some degree. She let daddy run her life and James let Lizzy treat him like he wasn't worth the dirt on her fancy shoes. The ending seemed a bit rushed and a bit of a let-down.

Despite all that however as I said, it did engage me from the start and I finished it pretty easily. I will certainly be on the look-out for the next book in the series.

Katy Evans has done it again with a unique and sexy story about a million dollar contract.



All Lizzie wants to for her father to take her seriously enough to take over the company when he retires. She's never been what her father wanted, but she's determined to show him that she can be what he needs. When she's asked to find the new face for the next line of suits, Lizzie didn't realize how difficult it would be to find the perfect someone. Until she happens upon a seedy bar and sees him; Jimmy Rowan. The man who will do anything for a bet. One look at him and Lizzie knows she's found her perfect guy in all senses of the word. Jimmy has had a difficult time ever since his family died. Now it's just him and his brother trying to make ends meet by posting crazy daredevil bets on YouTube. When Lizzie offers him one million dollars to become her model he's all in, especially for the chance to get to know Lizzie better.

I enjoyed this story a whole bunch. I liked how Lizzie struggled with who she was expected to be and with who she wanted to be. I enjoyed her back-and-forth with Jimmy and how he always kept her on her toes. Jimmy was a fun character. I liked how he wasn't really doing the favor to Lizzie for money, but for her. It was majorly fun.

I did have some issues with this story although I can't fully pinpoint what I didn't like. I guess it was the world Lizzie lived in or maybe the unnecessary drama? I'm not entirely sure. I just know something about this story stopped me from loving it.

The sexy scenes were fun and I liked how not everything wasn't cut and dry and easy. The characters needed to be knocked down a couple of times before they understood what was important. Overall, a decent read. I had no trouble staying in the story.

Lizzy is the heir to her family’s fortune but what she really wants is to prove to her demanding father that she is worthy and wants to succeed on her own merits. When she is tasked with finding the ideal man to showcase their new fashion line, she didn’t think it would be so difficult or that she would meet him in a bar.

Jimmy is a popular YouTube celebrity who not has the looks but has the personality to be the perfect spokesman. For a million dollars he is willing to let Lizzy shape and mold him into the perfect image that she wants. The only stipulation is that their relationship is business only but with these two opposites that shouldn’t be a problem, right?

Witty banter, hot chemistry and a hero that is so much more than he appears will keep you entertained in this fun and flirty romance.

4.5 Stars!
Elizabeth Banks is a 25 yr. old socialite from Atlanta's Midtown area who grew up in a world surrounded by men, and is now trying to thrive in a company that caters mostly to men. She's a rich heiress to the Banks LTD fortune, and as the only daughter of Harold Banks, she's always striving to get her father's acceptance and approval. She wants to impress him and prove her worth, so when she's given the task of finding the face for the launch of their new men's line, failure is not an option, and she plans to deliver. The only issue is she can't find the perfect man, so she decides to create one when she stumbles upon the delicious Jimmy Rowan.

He becomes her newest project as she works to transform this daredevil beast into a suave, sophisticated, debonair model.

He may be a diamond in the rough, but when she's finished with him, every woman in the city will want to be on his arm.

She can be herself with him, and he continually amazes her in so many ways. They come from different worlds, but nothing else seems to matter when they touch. Can Lizzy keep things professional and avoid falling for James, or is she already in over her head?
