The Heartbreaker
A sizzling and swoony single dad, forbidden, billionaire romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Man...
Captivated.
Addicted.
Mesmerized.
All the things I felt the minute I saw Addison Lark.
The last thing I’d expected was to fall in love at a strip club.
But Addison was the woman of my dreams.
It didn’t matter that I spent an obscene amount of money just to talk to her.
The fiery redhead made me feel things I’d never felt before.
But she didn’t want anything to do with me.
And she left without a backward glance.
Making me crave her even more.
Imagine my shock when we unexpectedly met again, presenting the most unexpected problem—Addison Lark was forbidden.
But did that stop me?
Did that stop us?
I’d made a promise to start living my life, and I wasn’t going to let that woman walk away for a second time.

September 13, 2024Welp, I didn't expect the MMC's ex to appear so frequently in the book. Although she's not a bad person or a witch, I still don't like reading about the exes in a single dad romance. Like seriously, I really, really don't. The ex and the FMC even became friends.
Irl, this would've been an ideal scenario, but since this is fiction, I don't want the exes to be part of the story. And to top it all off, the ex factored in so many decisions between the MCs. So much so that they couldn't decide on some things without considering her opinion. 🤦♀️
Anyhoo, still thinking if I'm going to write a long review...

The Heartbreaker by Marni Mann
4.5/5 stars
The Heartbreaker is such a great book in the Spade Hotel series. It's hot, captivating and the main characters are just so, so sweet.
Ridge's father told him to love hard when he was dying. And the second Ridge lays his eyes on Addison, he loves her hard with everything he has. They meet unconventionally in a stripclub. Where Addison is a dancer. And when they book a private room Ridge is nothing but respectful and only wants to talk to her.
Until he invites her home and sparks fly.
Addison is struggling to pay off her student debt. She also arranged a wonderful vacation for her parents with her sister. But it cost so incredibly much. So her only option is to get cash quickly, and stripping is the only option that does that.
Ridge has a 6 year old daughter and he has a great co-parenting relationship with his ex. When he checks in on his daughter on the first day of school, he sees Addison. And his mouth drops. Addison has been ignoring him since they spend the night together. And now she is his daughter's teacher. And that is what kickstarts this story.
I love how unproblematic this love story is. There is no unnecessary cheating or other such problems. It's a story about two people who connect and love fiercely.
I love how close Ridge is with his family. And what a great father he is. I loved to read how loved his daughter Daisy is. And how Addison always puts Daisy first without any feelings of jealousy. This book has so much heart and so much tenderness. And even though it's sweet it is also scorchingly hot. The love scenes were beautifully written and it felt all the emotions with them.
Absolutely loved this addictive story. 4.5 big stars for this stunning book!

I really don't know how Marni does it, but she delivers every single time. I know that when I pick up a Marni book it's going to be a 5 star banger, and The Heartbreaker was no exception!
I have to say that, Ridge and Addison have to be one of the least problematic couples I have read in a long time. These two had very little drama and a whole lot of swoon worthy moments. Right off the bat I loved these two. In true Marni fashion, this book starts off with Ridge seeing Addison in the strip club and needing to get to know her. One thing leads to another and they spend a hot and heavy night together, only for Addison to not call him the next day. Why? Because she feels ashamed that they met in a strip club. But the real plot twist? Addison is Ridge's daughter's teacher! The way that I gasped!
I have to say Ridge is the most thoughtful MMC. This man would literally do anything for Addison. And boy did he do some big grand gestures that made me swoon! Like I'm jealous of Addison. And I kept asking myself, where can I meet myself a Ridge? Now Addison, I admire her. She is so prideful and such a strong woman. And the way that she loved Ridge's daughter, ugh so heartwarming.
I truly loved everything about this book. There is nothing bad to say about it. If you have not read a Marni Mann book, what are you even doing with your life? She is such an auto read author for me. She never misses. It Marni writes it, your girl is going to read it! So do yourself a favor and read The Heartbreaker!
You should most definitely add this one to your TBR if you like:
- Billionaire Romance
- Single Dad Romance
- Age Gap
- Forced Proximity
* I would like to say a huge thank you to Valentine PR and Marni Mann for allowing me to read The Heartbreaker as an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts, opinions and review.

September 13, 2024I don't understand the author's obsession to have the 6 yr old kid walk in on her father naked and in middle of fucking. Not once but twice with two diff women. Once on page and once as a recollection.
I don't have a kid and i do get that the book is fictional but this just gave me the biggest ick and very creepy vibes 🫢🫢🫢

I enjoy her books and find them amazing to relax with. She has a way of writing that makes you so obsessed with the characters and subjects that you can’t stop reading about them.
This story begins with Ridge Cole. He and his friends end up at a local stripclub and that’s were he was instantly attracted to Addison Lark.
She became a stripper to pay off multiple debts and after an adventurous evening, they have an one-night stand. After that weekend, Addison was having doubts to persuade anything more with Ridge but before she had the chance to talk to him, she sees him at her day-job where she is his daughter’s teacher..

The Heartbreaker is a steamy stand alone romance in the Spade Hotel series. Ridge would do anything for Addison and is constantly showing her they should be together. Addison is a fun character who is not afraid to get out of her comfort zone and always thinking of others. The scenes with Daisy, Ridge's daughter are my favorite. This is a fun romance that I did not want to put down. I recommend The Heartbreaker for romance fans.

I can always count on Marni for a great Billionaire romance. I've liked Ridge from his first introduction in the series so I'm glad to finally have his book! Ridge seems like the most loving dad to his little girl and I love that he puts her first in his crazy business world. Ridge and the boys were all out celebrating at a strip club when he saw Addison and just knew he needed to be around her and get to know her.
I really enjoyed Addison's character. I loved how hard working and independent she was. She was willing to take on extra work, in a job she never thought she would have, to gift her parents with an amazing anniversary present and pay down those pesky student loans (I feel your pain girl). Aside from her nights and weekends gig, Addison is a first grade teacher. Little did she know when she first met Ridge, she was going to be his daughter's teacher. Obviously, this complicates things.
This was a very enjoyable read and I really enjoyed the relationship Ridge and Addison formed. I also loved the relationship Addison formed with Daisy. These two were meant for each other and Addison was the missing piece to the family for Ridge and Daisy. I don't know how Marni does it, but she again rocked it with this one. Highly recommend! I can't wait to see what happens next with the last Cole brother!

Just couldn’t get into it (possible spoiler)
I really loved the Dalton series and the spades series started out pretty good but these last two books I just can’t seem to really get into. The MFC is a stripper, which is hard to really connect with that to begin with but then you add in why she’s doing it and it’s so dumb. She literally turned to stripping so that she can get her parents a vacation which cost $40,000?! It’s not even a real reason, I mean chip in for a vacation for 1/3 of that and you dont have to strip. Then the MMC could care less shes a stripper and his whole family thinks its great and the whole book was just very blah and no real story line. The big storyline of the whole book was that she was stripping to pay for her parents family vacation and then she happened to be his daughters teacher and when the ex finds out he’s with her its all cleared up in like a 20 minute convo and its sunshine and rainbows. I had such a hard time getting through this one and I actually skimmed through the second half of the book.

Ridge Cole is so swoony, the ultimate girl dad! I loved the spice from the get go and how hard and fast he falls for Addy. This is single dad (with a healthy relationship with the mother), billionaire, age gap relationship. Ridge meets Addy at a strip club and then comes to find out she is his daughter’s new teacher. I loved Addy trying to resist Ridge but she just can’t and who can blame her? A must read!

"Touching a body like yours would be a f*cking dream, and I'd love nothing more, but that's not my motive. I want to get to know you..."
Marni Mann writes good spice, but damn if she knows how to give us a man that knows what he wants and is pretty darn perfect all around.
If you've read the previous Spade Hotel books, you know that the Spade and Cole men see what they like and go after it. It's an immediate electric chemistry between them and their love interests and The Heartbreaker is no different. And if you haven't read this series yet, that's ok too. Start with this one and never look back. Because these men know how to please their women.
While out at a joint bachelor/bachelorette party at a strip club, Ridge notices a dancer and knows he must find her. He must talk to her and he must get to know her. Addison may be a dancer, but there's a reason she's dancing. This is not her normal 9-5 job and she wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for dire need of money. When Ridge decides to leave the party, he spends it with Addison in a private room. But he wants more than that. More than a dance. He wants time. And boy, do they give it to each other.
Can I say that Ridge Cole is one of the most perfect heroes? For one, I'm a total sucker for a single dad. And when you put a Marni Mann spin on it, you know it's not only going to be well written, but it's going to be hot AF. Ridge is part of the Spade-Cole hotels. He's successful, rich, good looking and also a father to a very cute little girl, Daisy. He is the epitome of perfection. His words and actions and his relationships with his family and his ex prove that time and time again. One of my favorite things about his character was his relationship with Daisy's mother. Their relationship may not have worked out, but they put their daughter above everything else and really work at instilling her with good and strong qualities. Their co-parenting was some of the best I've read in a romance book. That made Ridge even more attractive in my eyes. Ridge is obviously an amazing dad that says and does all the right things, but when the woman he meets at the strip club turns out to be more than he thought, what will he do?
Addison was so much more than I thought she was going to be. We meet her as a dancer in a strip club, but her night job did not identify her. It's what happens when her day job intersects with her night job and her personal life that she has to figure out answers and what she is willing to give up to make everything work. I liked that her character was strong and did what she had to do to make it work, but I also was afraid that everything was going to come crashing down. She was just too good.
Marni Mann gave us another sizzling story with 2 characters that had an immediate connection. While timing may have been off for Addison, fate had other plans and these two had to battle the bit of forbidden and bad timing to make it work. Ridge was absolute perfection as the single dad that was open to love and Addison was such a good match for him. They had great chemistry and really balanced each other out. Daisy was a great addition to their story and I loved how she played into their relationship.
If you like your single dad romances like I do and mixing that up with an ultra hot billionaire, a forbidden age gap with an immediate connection, and low angst with no 3rd act breakup, The Heartbreaker is not to be missed.

She's done it again, y'all! Marni Mann truly is one of the best billionaire romance writers, and she never disappoints. Does the perfect man exist? Yes. His name is Ridge Cole. This man is in a category of his own. He put on a masterclass about how to treat a woman. Ridge is attentive, caring, patient, thoughtful, protective, and has a huge heart. He is a great father to his daughter Daisy and has a successful co-parenting relationship with his ex. Daisy is the cutest little Swiftie ever! Addison is a teacher who is trying to do right by her family. I can't help but admire her for that.
I loved Ridge and Addison together. There was little drama and mature communication. Their story is a genuine swoony romance, and I loved every second of it. There are so many swoony moments in this book that made me melt. HE DROVE TO HER JUST FOR A KISS! I mean....come on! Ridge was all in with Addison at first sight and would do anything for her. I love a man that knows what he wants and makes things happen. I really enjoyed this heartwarming and spicy forbidden romance, and I can't wait for the next Cole brother.
Thanks to Marni Mann and Valentine PR for the gifted eARC. Opinions expressed are my own.

You guys... this book was so good on so many levels. I enjoyed everything and I loved it so much.
I'm head over heels in love with Ridge... this man is just so perfect, not only as a dad but as a man. He surprised me in a good way, with his daughter Daisy but especially with Daisy's mother. He has a heart of gold and I'm here for it. The prologue almost made me cry...
Marni Mann has delivered and wonderful story with just the perfect dose of love, spicy scenes, banters, funny part and swoony moments. I enjoyed this book so much and if I wasn't sick I could have read it faster.
Addison was an amazing character to read about, and I wish I could have her patience, her determination, she amazed me in so many ways. Her relation with Ridge was so passionate and so beautiful I loved everything about it.
I had such a great time reading this book that I didn't want it to end.
Now I'm even more intrigued by uncle 'Ett (IYKYK). I've grown fond of to this man since book 2 and I'm excited to read this book. December is far away, but I'm ready.

Another swoony man from Marni, are we surprised? No. Are we in love? Absolutely 🤭
I started this book completely in my feels (wheeew that beginning) and I just knew it was going to hook me from then!
All of the characters were amazing. Ridge Cole is perfect. I love how much he cares for his daughter and always puts her first. I loved the coparenting between him and Jana and loved how they truly worked together for their sweet girl. Addy is phenomenal! I love that she worked hard at two jobs so she could do something sweet for her parents. It truly showed the heart she has and it was just beautiful!
Addy and Ridge together? Fireworks. Explosion. Chemistry beyond any other. 😜 I love love loved them together. I also loved that they always put Daisy first as well!
Overall, I loved it! Marni never fails to make me fall in love with new characters and never fails to bring the old characters back so you get a glimpse of them while reading! 💖

I DEVOURED THIS. My new fav of the series, for sure.
Ridge and Addison - a match made in heaven. They were SO perfect. I loved their love. She was the best combo of sweet, sassy and kind. And holy shit, Ridge was fucking romantic, man. God he was a complete sweetheart. So swoony. He really was “one of the good ones”. I adored his relationship with his daughter and loved his co-parenting relationship with Daisy’s Mum. I thought the ‘conflict’ was dealt with really maturely and respectfully and it showed how incredibly well all the characters were at communicating. Oh, and a minute for the spice. Because we know Miss Marni brings the HEAT in her pages and this did not disappoint! Obsessed 😮💨😮💨
I really enjoyed this one, and I am AMPED for Rhett Cole because Marni sure knows how to write an alphahole!

Wow Ridge and Addison and we can’t forget Daisy! Wow that kid is cute! What’s not cute is this couple. This couple is on fire!!
Addy has to pay off some debts she has with her sister and her schooling ( I didn’t think that all that money for her parents trip was justified at all but I digress!). Ridge find Addy working in a strip bar and he has insta lust. Pays for the rest of her shift and then leaves with her to go the restaurant. They have a great time until he goes to Daisy’s first day of class and guess who is her teacher. Addy!! Crap!!
They tried to hide it. They tried to jeep it from everyone especially Ridge’s ex and well she ends up finding them in a compromising position and she’s not happy. I honestly thought that there was going to be more of a situation with the ex but no. It was quite a civilized situation that was resolved fast.
Loved the story. Loved the characters. Live this series!! I’m up for the next one!

Marni Mann is the "Queen of Spice." The Spade Hotel series is addicting and full of alpha billionaires. The Heartbreaker is book 4 in the series, and all can be read as a standalone but why would you want to.
Ridge is a hot, billionaire and a single dad, well divorced, but I just love single dad romances. Daisy, his daughter, is cute and so loved by her dad. Ridge's dad, on his passing, tells him he needs to open himself up to love again.
Addison is trying to get out of debt, get ahead after school loans, and paying back her sister for a trip of a lifetime for her parents. She decides to take a job as a stripper for extra money.
A chance encounter and an electric connection change the fate for Ridge and Addison.
There is something between them from the start but Addison doesn't want to bring Ridge into her problems. Ridge can't get enough of Addison and keeps seeking her out. These two were electric, magnetic, scorching. They also were sweet, caring and loving. These two had it all and throw Daisy into the mix and it's a winner. I couldn't put this book down. I loved the story, the characters, and their relationship.
I couldn't get enough of these two and my favorite tropes - billionaire, single dad.

What an emotional and excellent read! Loved this story.
Ridge is the most amazing person. So sweet, caring and protective over Addison.
This one, like all Marni’s book has a great start and first meeting of the main characters. Their first meeting was hot, and I felt the connection between them instantly.
Addy’s reasoning for her side gig was admirable and I loved how she was determined to see it through.
Ridge is an amazing father, and I loved the relationship he had with his little girl.
I also really admire and appreciate the relationship between him and his ex/baby mama.
This was simply just a sweet and steamy read with not much drama. Which I loved. It had some beautiful moments and I was hooked all the way through.
If you love a good billionaire, single dad romance, this one is definitely for you 🫶🏻

The Heartbreak is book 4 of the Spade Hotel series.
On Ridge’s dad’s death bed, he makes Ridge promise that he will “love big”. To not let his life pass him by without love.
Shortly after he see Addison. He takes it as a sign and the rest is history. Throughout the book Addison is very cautious about starting a relationship with Ridge (rightfully so). I loved that Ridge didn’t give her an ultimatum or get mad. The relationship progressed at the pace that both of them were comfortable with.
Tropes:
- billionaire
- single dad
- lust at first sight
- loss of a parent

RIDGE. Wowza. My heart melted sooo many times for the love he has for his daughter. It was precious. Single dad trope is superior. Addison was so mature too and such a relatable character. I’m obsessed with this book. Thank you Valentine PR for the arc!!

Holy hotness!! Ridge is my hero!! Alpha to the bone. He loves his daughter unconditionally. Always puts his family first. Addy is a strong independent woman. When faced with adversity, she tries to make it her own. For Addy, one night with a stranger changes everything. Their relationship was unconventional from the start but what a phenomenal story! I loved the emotions of this book. Each little story within the story was amazing! So much love, kindness and a whole lot of 🔥🔥🔥 sex!!! I think this might be my new favorite story in this series!

Marni has done it again!
Another couple and another beautiful romance!
Ridge, my man! He is the dream!!!!!! A top book boyfriend in every way possible! Oh, Addison, you are the sweetest little cupcake there is.
In summary, their romance is low angst, but highest heat! The slight push and pull was understandable with their dynamic, but it made it so worthwhile once they stopped turtling iykyk!
Thank you Marni for the advanced copy.

Another book by Marni Mann I was so excited !!!! :) 🫶
📚 The Heartbreaker : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#4 Spade Hotel
Ridge & Addison 💛 +Daisy
-✨ Tropes : single dad / billionaire romance / teacher / swifities ref /
RIDGE messieurs dames OMGGG il est parfait c'est incroyable, il fait tout le temps les bonnes choses, il a toujours les bons mots 🫠
Coup de foudre du côté de Ridge lors d'une soirée en boîte, il ne va plus jamais lâcher Addison. Addison (professeur des écoles) va essayer de jongler entre tout ses problèmes de la vie et en même temps se donner une chance d'avoir une relation avec Ridge.
J'ai vraiment bien aimé dans cette histoire le fait qu'il y ait une relation super saine entre les deux parents. Ridge s'entend très bien avec son ex-femme, ils font tout ensemble pour que Daisy ait la meilleure éducation possible. Et franchement ça change !! C'est super que l'on ait une autre représentation d'une famille séparée. L'ex-femme est souvent 'horrible' mais pas ici !!!!
Petit bémol de mon côté sur le fait que l'histoire soit basée sur le fait qu'elle fait du strip-tease, j'aurai aimé que l'histoire soit approfondie sur d'autres points.
La relation entre Addie & Ridge est super belle, les petites balades à la plage 🫶🫶 🌞
Ce n'est pas mon livre préféré de la série mais c'est à lire !!! Maintenant plus qu'à attendre l'histoire de Rhett, je suis bcp trop pressée 😍
- Spicy : 🌶️🌶️,5
- Quotes :
"A woman so fucking beautiful that my eyes wouldn’t leave her. Even if there was a reason to drag my stare away, I wouldn’t. I couldn’t. She was that breathtaking. That gorgeous. That enticing."
"What Ridge was showing me was that he was everything I looked for in a man … if I was looking for one."
"A man who had reshaped himself to be the best example for his daughter. There was literally nothing hotter. My God."
“You’re wild—you know that?” “What I am is determined. When I want something, I feel there’s no reason to hold back. And you, Addison Lark, are what I want. Damn it, I can still taste you on my fucking tongue.”
"If tonight had shown me anything, it was that I’d never felt more accepted in my life. Ridge was the man for me."
"So hard to believe that this was the man who wanted me. Who had waited for me. Who had done everything in his power to protect me tonight."
(Ps : Mes review sont destinés plutôt pour moi-même que pour les autres, c’est pour ça que c’est écrit de façon random mais si ça peut vous donner envie de lire le livre lets gooo 🫣 et ptit mix français-anglais parce que WHY NOT )

4.5 Stars
We get to witness Ridge Cole discover his true love and keep his word to his father in this fourth installment of the Spade Hotel series. I was taken aback by this hot, intense, single father who exudes charm and sweetness. Considering that Rhett is one grumpy, jerk of a partner in the recently merged empire, I find his character to be the most level-headed and reasonable of the Cole siblings since his introduction in Rowan's book. I adored the way Marni portrayed his character, especially how he handled their conversations with the independent, astute, and stunning Addison Lark.
Conversely, Addy is a character that the majority of us can identify with. A selfless, responsible, loving, and hardworking person will go above and beyond to provide for the people she loves, even if it goes against social norms or pushes you beyond your comfort zone. Meeting Ridge, whom she learned was a billionaire, upended her world and put her pride and insecurities to the test. Fortunately, Ridge is not a domineering guy and chooses to let Addy take the lead in their developing relationship throughout the book. They were able to put things right seamlessly and found their happily ever after, despite a few small obstacles involving Daisy and her mother.
Despite the book being toned down a bit from the third one (Brady's book) in terms of drama and angst, we're treated with a lot of adorable moments from Daisy and Ridge's alluring way of words. Seriously, I'll listen to him talking all day. And let's not overlook a glimpse of Rhett's perspective in the final pages of the book. His story, which concludes the series, is likely to be just as memorable as Brady's, if not more so.
