Publisher's summary

He's my brother’s best friend

Also my new boss

And now my fake fiancé....

Cade "the King" Kingston, billionaire grumphole and the most sought-after athlete on the continent.

He’s also London’s most notorious bachelor with a ten-pack and a profile that would make Adonis weep.

Too bad he’s ruthless, has a heart made of ice, and is the most unfeeling brute I have ever met.

When my brother asks him to look out for me while he’s away, Cade engages me as his new Communications Manager.

Now he’s my boss, I definitely don’t want to get involved with him.
But I’ve harbored a secret crush on Cade, and when we start working together in close proximity, my feelings for him multiply.

When a stalker targets me, Cade proposes a fake marriage for my protection.

But he has secrets of his own....

This is a swoony, angsty, banter-filled romance featuring a curvy woman in over her head, a grumpy man in over his heart, and a Champagne loving Great Dane who plays matchmaker by mistake. It stands alone and comes complete with the best grovel and grand romantic gesture ever!

Another great one

I love L Steele she never disappoints sorry the spicy. From the being of the book you get it.

This one follows Cade and Abby story. This one is definitely an enemies to lovers. The two of them together is intense. Abby did something Cade but he doesn’t care he wants her and he does everything to get her.

I had the opportunity to listen to on audiobook and it is amazing. I love listening to L Steele audiobooks the narrators are amazing. This one brings Kas Vadim and Roxy Isles together and the do an amazing job bring the characters to life. This was first experience with both narrator and they are amazing.

I highly recommend this book and if you can listen it you definitely should.

The Cricket Player and His Best Friend’s Little Sister

The Agreement by L. Steele is the third book in the Morally Grey Billionaires series. This is a second chance, best friend’s little sister, enemies to lovers, fake engagement, contemporary romance novel. Cade is the Captain of the England cricket team and Abby is his best friend’s little sister. The two knew each other from high school. Abby did something to betray Cade, which changed the trajectory of his life and he is set on revenge. Abby is very remorseful about what she did when she was a young teen and has been carrying a torch for Cade over the intervening years. The two traverse the ups and downs of their relationship to reach their happy ending. This book followed the typical formula that the author uses for these books. Cade is a cocky alphamale jerk who is unwilling to admit to his feelings for Abby and Abby is much more honest about her feelings. Abby allows Cade to treat her abysmally and then succumbs to his dominant sexuality. This book is pretty high on this spice meter. I found Abby a bit too much of a doormat through a good bit of the book and Cade a real jerk, so they were not my favorite couple. However the chemistry is hot and the story well written even if the characters weren’t my favorite. I think that the male narrator did jerk really well, which may have contributed to my impression. I am voluntarily submitting this honest review after listening to an advanced complementary copy of this audiobook thanks to Valentine PR and Audible Audio.

Loved Cade and Anna

I understood why Cade was angry and why Anna felt she deserved what she got. I also understood how hard it was to fight the feelings they both had. I thought it was great seeing the turnaround in this book and watching both characters grow. Kas Vadim and Roxy Isles did an excellent job performing. I will be listening to the rest of the stories as soon as I can. Loving this author.

Cade and Abby

This is a solid 4-star story. Cade and Abby were not my favorite of the Morally Grey Billionaires couples (I highly recommend The Christmas One Night Stand over this one).

Re the narration. The female narrator was a good fit for Abby and was able to perform the male role well. The male narrator, however, was not as successful in his performance. He voices Cade well, but his Abby is whiny and vapid. I stuck with it as long as I could, but it got to the point where I switched to the ebook version to complete my read through.

The Agreement !!!

Cade Kingston is in fact The King . Hot as sin, billionaire playboy, who is the biggest name in sports and can have anything he wants at the drop of a hat . That’s why he doesn’t mince words + is known for his ruthless heart and unforgiving attitude . This especially goes for the women who wronged him all those years ago, Abbey Warren . So when the opportunity to have a fake marriage for her protection puts Abbey right in Cade’s hands, it’s perfect . Nothing can protect her from what he has planned .

Abbey Warren’s life is quickly spinning out of control . Starting with having her brother’s best friend - Cade Kingston, who hates her for something that happened when they were kids, as her new boss . Then following that up with a stalker who has only one target in mind . And ending things with a fake marriage to the person who hates her more than anything . What could possibly go wrong living under the same roof as The King ?

The star of the show for me in this book is Tiny - Cade’s Champagne loving Grate Dane . I have loved seeing this guy running around snatching bottles of bubbly every chance he gets . This is such a good series but I think this book is my least favorite out of the 3 so far . Cade was relentless when it came to Abbey + Abbey needed to have just a little more of a backbone . I’m excited to see what next with Declan, Solene and the rest of this crew .

This is book third in the Morally Grey Men series . It can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading in series order .

PLEASE CHECK THE TWs !!!

OMG LOVED THIS BOOK!

This is my second favorite from this series. This story follows Cade and Abby.

Abby is the little sister Cade’s best friend and the one person that betrayed him the most. Now he is older and out for revenge and will do everything to destroy her - until someone else touchers her.

Cade and Abby

L Steele loves to write about alpaholes and fake engagements. You can't go into these books thinking you will like the male characters right away. You won't, it's written that way so the struggle , the relationship, and then usually the man groveling in the end will be worth it. In this case we have Abby and Cade. Abby did something to betray Cade when they were teenagers. You won't actually find out in the book right away. Cade also happens to be best friends with Abby's brother. Now, they are adults living in London. Cade is a famous cricket player, eligible bachelor, and has a terrible public image. Abby actually works for Cade's sister in PR. Cade has vowed to get revenge on Abby for what she did to him. I did think that was stupid because they were so young and also because really his life isn't bad except for what his own actions caused. Cade did something to Abby then left without a word for 8 months! Abby is literally a doormat and needs to grow a backbone to stand up to Cade. I know Abby has always had feelings for Cade but after 8 months, I wouldn't have forgiven him. When Cade comes back he hires Abby to be his communications manager. When Cade finds out Abby has a stalker he demands a fake engagement can fix all their problems. Cade also breaks Abby's heart a few times along the way. When Cade is finally ready to admit how he really feels for Abby, it might be too little, too late. Cade was basically a jerk for most of the book and Abby let him. It all eventually works out in the end.

grumpy x sunshine

cade, you will love to hate him. He is a complete jerk. With a dirty mouth. Abby is the air who wears her heart on her sleeve. Brothers best friend. fake dating. morally grey man. Banter and chemistry.

Both narrators did a fantastic job performing this book. It was easy to get lost in the story and characters.

The ole chaps teaching was epic!!

I have read all of the books up to this one and I was very very irritated in the beginning at how long it took him to open his eyes and accept his feelings! But I did love the “ole chaps” putting Cade under their wings to teach him a few things he desperately needed to know!! I was very happy with the ending! I also want a Tiny in my life!!
