{ARC Review and Release Bliz} The Billionaire Bargain Part 1




Title: The Billionaire Bargain Part 1
Series: The Billionaire Bargain #1
Author: Lila Monroe
 Release Date: January 22, 2015


Synopsis


Sexy Australian billionaire Grant Devlin is ruining my life. He exercises shirtless in his office, is notorious for his lunchtime nooners, he even yawns sexily. If I didn't need this job so bad, I'd take his black Amex and tell him where to swipe it.

He doesn't even know I exist, but why would he? He jets off to Paris with supermodels, I spend Friday nights with Netflix and a chunk of Pepperidge Farm frozen cake—waiting for his call. Because every time he crashes his yacht, or blows $500k on a single roulette spin in Monte Carlo, I’m the PR girl who has to clean up his mess.

But this time, it’s going to take more than just a fat charity donation. This time, the whole company is on the line. He needs to show investors that he’s settling down, and Step #1 is pretending to date a nice, stable girl until people forget about what happened with the Playboy Bunnies backstage at the Oscars.

My plan is perfect, except for one thing:

He picks me.

Review


Billionaires and unsuspected assistances/unsuspected women are our new Prince Charming and Cinderella. And since we the women, of this glorious book nation, also want a bad boy...this book is the perfect, need for our sated wants. 

Grant is rich, hot, and Lacey loves looking at him, ever chance she gets. Lacey believes in no touching, like in the champagne room. Where as Grant always pays for the extra in the champagne room, so he can touch. 

(Hint, Hint: Grant wants to touch Lacey, you know just incase you missed what I was trying to get at.) 

Grant is a playboy and would love to feel on her lady lumps. And tries his damnedest to cop a feel.  Now because no story is good without a twist in the plot: Grant goes ahead and makes an ass of himself. The papers get wind of it. (Oh no.) 

He needs the very capable assistance of Lacey and her "outstanding" PR skills to save him. (Now she is Bat-Girl, saving the billionaire playboy) 
  
One of the wonderful ideas Lacey's has is taking the public eye off of his foolishness but to focus on the great things that Grant does for the community and charities. One idea, a bit outlandish, is that Grant find himself a chick to be cozy with. Grant choses Lacey for this unbeknownst to her and builds a fake relationship to ensure the acquistion of another company. Now you may think, did this bitch just tell me the entire story, heck no! 

There is more to this conundrum and for us, the lucky bastards that get to read it, it's given to us...(wait for it)... in doses, you know so we don't get overwhelmed with Grant's sexiness.

Happy Reading.

Honey Girl-Review

Honey Girl (Chapter 1)Honey Girl by Juliette Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Honey opens with Lila looking upon her love and describing his beauty and he whirlwind romance that landed her a fiancé.

Book one describes Lila is a virginal, broke, women in need of a job. Then she becomes a deflowered assistant to a billionaire.

Like book one Lila experiences some highs (love and companionship) and lows (unsureness). Though I love fantasy, I read books to escape to one, with this book I sat back, just like in book one, and tapped my lip. Wondering, what happens when it all comes crashing down? Will Lila survive? Will Alexander deal well with not having his way?
Will their love survive hardship?

Juliette describes the trials and tribulations so well that I ached for resolve.

Since I read 50 Shades of Grey, I was wondering who would top the virgin and the billionaire. Then I read Billionaire. When I heard that book two was going to be making an appearance I was eager to see how Juliette would redefine my idea of Alex and Lila. Well, she did.

Lila is Alex's calm and she is his fire. They ignite and extinguish each other so well I am surprise there was no weather anomaly in this book.

In this book Lila must learn how to be the fiancée of a billionaire. And not viewed as a classless whore who just wants his money and is not intelligent enough to handle his business. I feel as though Lila makes headway in this until the Alex’s past attempts to affect their future.

The sex in this book was off the chain. Juliette can write some sex scenes. I like how they its scattered throughout the book and how past interludes from the past (Book one) are coming back to haunt them.

Juliette places real situations within the book. This makes for defining moments and some dramatic pauses. At times, I felt as though I should be gasping as the music plays du, du, duuuuuu.

I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to Jake’s book. If Alex can get down with his age, I can’t wait to see what a young buck like Jake.

Happy Reading.

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.
