ROMANCING THE BILLIONAIRE is Book five in the
Billionaire
Boys Club series by Jessica Clare. As a fan of this
series, I am happy to find that ROMANCING THE BILLIONAIRE
has everything I've come to expect from them -- passion,
great characters, and an interesting story. Even though
this book is part of a series, I think that a reader who
is
new to the series would still be able to enjoy it.
Dr. Phineas DeWitt was something of an aging Indiana
Jones.
However, Violet found that being his daughter was an
extremely different experience than being one of his
students or colleagues. Due to some behind-the-scenes
manipulations before her father's death, Violet finds
herself confronted with her former flame. I find Violet to
be justifiably bitter about her relationship with her
father. As the story goes on, both she and Jonathan
discover all of her fathers secrets and lies. I like that
the story is told from both points of view. This window
into their thoughts help explain their actions in the past
and help define them as characters. The treasure hunt and
travel in ROMANCING THE BILLIONAIRE add a lot of interest
to the story and enhance the romance.
I like that ROMANCING THE BILLIONAIRE is very much a story
in which the hero pursues the heroine. This is a great
story for readers who love stories in which the main
characters have a complicated past. Despite hurt feelings
from things that happened years ago, I'm happy that there
is not a constant feeling of antagonism between Violet and
Jonathan. While Violet is clearly very conflicted about
her
feeling for Jonathan, I love how very much he still cares
for her and constantly tries to show her how he feels. The
wooing he does, with a combination of physical seduction
and poetry spouting, is a very erotic and a heady
combination.
ROMANCING THE BILLIONAIRE is an extremely passionate tale
of a love that was lost and then found. In the sea of
books
about billionaires, Jessica Clare's Billionaire Boys
Club
is a gem. I eagerly await the next installment in this
series as well as any other books written by Jessica
Clare.
