synopsis
Lila Carmichael is a good girl, a high-achieving academic, punctual to a fault, unfailingly conscientious – and embarrassingly inexperienced. After graduating from Princeton, Lila moves to New York City and begins her job search. Innocent and naïve, she is swept away by an uncharacteristic bloom of total abandon as soon as she meets the tall, dark-eyed CEO of Wolfe Enterprises. Under Alexander’s potent influence, Lila is thoroughly transformed from demure virgin to lusty goddess in just two days. Given her upbringing, it’s only natural that Lila would be attracted to such a pinnacle of stability, but as emotion and lust entwine, she begins to question the motives behind her covetous, hedonistic desires.
Alexander Wolfe needs a new assistant to help him run his publishing empire. One résumé in particular catches his eye and he decides to interview the candidate one-on-one in his private penthouse office. When a green-eyed goddess walks in, Alexander, for the first time in his life, finds himself powerless to resist. The difficulties of his past ensure that his protective instincts are fiercely attuned, and Lila’s vulnerabilities, combined with her nubile body and voracious new appetites, only succeed in ensnaring Alexander past the point of no return.

Set in New York and Paris, Lila and Alexander’s connection is a whirlwind of lust, love, jealousy and obsession. Will they find their happy ever after?

Billionaire

 
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided this book as an ARC from NetGalley.

Juliette Jones has provided a completed book of 1-7 of the Billionaire novellas.

To read the series in one stroke (no pun intended) was great. This book has the Alpha male, the dirty talk, the romance, the billionaire, and the girl who bits of more than she can chewy.

Juliette allows the reader to see the development of Alexander and Lila.

Alexander finds someone who brings out the beast in him.

Lila finds someone who presents the inhibitions that she has not had with another. What are they to do when their attraction becomes his obsession?  Per the read, Alexander has always been in control and with Lila he is not. She has come kind of sexual power over him and he does not know what to do with it.  Do you leave it or attack it?

Lila attacks the man whom she finds attractive. She is similar to a lioness with her flirting in the beginning of the book and how she develops into a sexual woman throughout the book. She learns about herself, her needs, her wants, and how to use them.

The book is written by POV of each of the characters and I love this. I need to know what thoughts they are having because if this was just from Lila’s POV I would think Alexander was crazy.

Granted he is gorgeous and successful but some of things he does to keep control over Lila make me uncomfortable. But when I understand it from his POV, I think he is sweet, concerned and sometimes makes the wrong choice of how to handle his concerns.

This book will make you needy, it a good way. The dirty talk and acts in this book make you fan yourself. Did I find the story about their romance to be a quick read, yes. But it is several novellas made into a book. Their love was unconventional to societal standards, but hey, it is fiction. 

I must say I wanted more of their story, Lila and Alexander.

I hope there is a story being created for Alexander’s brother. I really enjoyed his character in this book.

Happy reading.

Virgin Redemption

The Virgin: RedemptionThe Virgin: Redemption by J. Dallas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I must say that I loved the first book of the Virgin series. I thought it was gripping. The plotting and planning, the detail that Shan placed into what she wanted.
When book two came out I was jumping around like a fan girl. Oh so embarrassing.

I open my book, start reading and was so pleased at how well it reads. I am so in love with the bad-boy of this mini series. Who won’t be in love with an asshole who is also 100% egomaniacal. I am. Drake in book one was defined as the person that you loved to hate. Now we are in book two and I still feel the same way, but I was a little disappointed in the storyline.

I was struggling with their story in book one because I wanted the revenge. But then Dallas leads me in another direction at the very end of book one.

The cliffhanger was awesome in book one; the opening in book two takes you back a little (prior to the ending of book one, it’s all good) and then brings you to the end of book one.

With such strong characters and the writing makes you want Shan and Drake to be together in book one and book two. But the storyline in book two, I really did not like it. It was not want I expected.

This second book will close out some of the questions you have but for me I still have one that needs to be answered. Now I have read this book twice and I still do not have this answer. Frustrating. I wouldn’t say that I loved this book like book one, it was just asi asi (so, so).

Now this is the final book for the Virgin, but will it be the final book for Drake and Shan, because let’s admit it, similar to the show Cougar Town, this title no longer fits.

Happy reading.
