Falling for the Playboy (Playboy in Paradise Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 263 ratings

It’s good to be me.

Thanks to my last name, money is no object. According to the ladies, I’m charming.
And if I do say so myself, and I do, I’m good looking too.

I’m used to getting my way. Every. Single. Time. That is until Mallory Wray, a brunette beauty, lands in Hawaii. Now my new favorite pastime is how to bed the gorgeous co-ed. Again.



An escape.

I’ll call it what it is. But there are worse places to spend the next three months than in paradise. A fresh start without the chill of Colorado or cheating exes is exactly what I need.

No one is going to ruin this for me, especially not gorgeous playboys. That is until I decide to throw caution to the wind and fall right into Evan Ashford’s bed. Unlike him, I can’t separate my heart from my head, so I get out before I get hurt. Again.

I thought I left my broken heart on the mainland, but now I’m starting to wonder if Evan can heal it. Here goes everything . . .


The Playboy in Paradise Trilogy is the perfect Beach Read. Told in DUAL POV, this Emotional, Contemporary, New Adult Romance will sweep you right off your feet.

✮✮✮✮✮Top Summer Read - Bangor Belles, Amazon
✮✮✮✮✮This is a must read story. Scott has a knack of having me hooked from the very first chapter, and this book was no different. - Ann, GR
✮✮✮✮✮I love this author's work! Scott is passionate and her characters are always full of so many feelings and complexity. -
Mirele, GR
✮✮✮✮✮Wow!!! I'm so excited about this story. These two are full of passion towards each other so it makes the pages HOT, that's plus. But the good thing about the book is that they also find out that they were not functioning correctly before finding each other. -
Dimaris, Amazon
✮✮✮✮✮Mallory is the best kind of heroine because she's honest, real, and she adapts to both her surroundings and Evan in the best possible way. What more can you ask for in a romantic hero than Evan he's hot, unwavering, and creative (pineapple, anyone?) -
Liz, GR
✮✮✮✮✮This story is tempting, mouthwatering, delicious and every other descriptive adjective that draws you in to quench your appetite but keeps you wanting more. - Paulette, GR

    Falling for the Playboy
    Playboy in Paradise, Book 1
    By: S.L. Scott
    Narrated by: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

    This book captivated me from start to end. S.L. Scott is a gift author, she creates stories that are not only interesting but ones you can relate to, whether realistically or ones you dreamed of having. (escapism at its best) Her characters are complex and well developed, I liked the two leads in this book. Mallory, a smart and independent woman who is focused on finishing her last year of college. She has two months off from school so she decided to spend that time with her friend Sunny in Hawaii. I loved her sass and spirit and when she meets Evan at the airport she is not shy to share that sass with him. Mallory could see Evan was a real player but there was something about him that drew her to him. One thing leads to another and she winds up doing something she never does, has a one night stand with a player. It was such a great night she thought it may mean more, unfortunately Evan did not feel the same or so she thought. The chemistry between them could not be denied. I loved how they went back and forth, how they danced around what they were feeling, he was in complete denial and she was just pissed at his behavior. There is never a dull moment in this book, there is plenty of drama, angst, a hiccup or two and a smoking hot buildup to a wonderful romance. This is the first book in a three book series and their relationship is finally off to a good start, as they both realize their love. I am looking forward to what comes next for these two. Also curious about a few other things, want to know more about Noah and what the deal is with him and Evan. S.L Scott thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

    I listened to the Audible edition, Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross are fantastic narrators and voice artists. They bring these characters to life, give each their own voice and personality, as well as heart and attitude. They humanize and portray these characters perfectly, capturing their passion and emotions which reflects in their performance. They set the perfect tone for the story and their duet performance enhances it to another level of greatness. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen🎧

    In 2013, I came across S.L. Scott, a new-to-me author, and her Welcome to Paradise series and then I proceeded to devour Mallory and Evan’s story, not only because the story is set in Hawaii, which is one amazing backdrop for a summer romance, but also because I thoroughly enjoyed the evolution of their relationship and the fact that what should have been nothing but a sexy and sweaty one-night stand turned into something they both desperately wanted, even if they lived thousands of miles apart and their respective pasts made them hesitant to go all in with their true feelings towards each other.

    Mallory and Evan’s story holds a special place in my heart; it’s what led me to be a huge fan of S.L. Scott’s storytelling and it also was one of the first series I read once I found my way back to reading after being away from the book world for quite some time.

    So, while I was a little sad that Scott was changing the series’ covers and titles, I knew I would get to revisit Mallory and Evan’s story, remembering all the reasons I loved the ups and downs and twists and turns these two went through as they worked to make a go at a relationship despite their differences, outside interference, and the emotional baggage that they both seem to carry with them.

    And with Redeeming the Playboy and Loving the Playboy releasing in quick succession, the fact that I don’t have to wait to continue my stroll down memory lane makes it that much better!

    Reading Falling for the Playboy feels similar to the way I imagine that it would feel to learn how to surf. Up and down, the moment where you feel like you've got it and then the next moment that sends you crashing into the ocean. Finally, that moment of elation when you finally ride on a baby wave but know there's so much more coming.

    You can't help, but be invested in Mallory and Evan as individuals and root for them together. Neither of them is perfect and there were moments when I wanted to knock some sense into both of them, but that's what makes it so good is how real and raw they both feel. It's angsty and sweet and you can't turn the pages fast enough to see where these two are going to go next.

    Mallory is the best kind of heroine because she's honest, real, and she adapts to both her surroundings and Evan in the best possible way. What more can you ask for in a romantic hero than Evan he's hot, unwavering, and creative (pineapple, anyone?)

    The best part about this is knowing that there are two more books in Evan and Mallory's journey and I can't see what happens next for them.
