THE TAMING OF THE BILLIONAIRE is Book 2 in the Billionaires and
Bridesmaids series. With a
Jessica Clare book you can always count on sexy guys and
great story-telling, and THE TAMING OF THE BILLIONAIRE
is no exception. This story appears to be loosely
inspired by William Shakespeare's play THE TAMING OF THE
SHREW. After an inauspicious first meeting, self-admitted
"cat lady" Edie and gaming mogul Magnus are thrown
together because of the convoluted logic of their
siblings. Magnus asks Edie out in order to free up her
sister Bianca to spend time with his brother Levi.
You know that everything will blow up in Magnus's
handsome face at some point, but it's worth it for the
delicious moment when his fake courtship turns real.
Although Edie may appear shrewish to some people, she has
a big heart where cats are concerned and she is always
thinking of her flakey sister. Likewise, Magnus turns out
to be more than what he first appears to be. I love how
they get to know and like each other and appreciate their
strengths. I like how they have more in common they think
- including a tendency to be overindulgent when it comes
to their siblings. Magnus becomes more likable over the
course of the book as his feelings for Edie grow. Magnus
was never a bad guy, but knowing Edie broadens his
perspective. One of the things that make THE TAMING OF
THE BILLIONAIRE such a delight is how well Magnus and
Edie complement each other.
THE TAMING OF THE BILLIONAIRE is another example of why I
love a Jessica Clare book. It's fun, sexy, and has great
characters. I enjoyed catching up with Gretchen and
Hunter from Jessica Clare's Billionaire Boys Club
series. I am intrigued by the other bridesmaids and
groomsmen and look forward to reading their stories. I
can't wait for the next book in this Billionaires and
Bridesmaids series!
The New York Times bestselling author of The Billionaire and
the Virgin returns with a tale of Shakespearean-style
seduction...
Edie's an overbearing cat behaviorist who's not big on
people. Magnus is a newly-rich game developer who likes to
be in control. When the two of them meet at Gretchen and
Hunter's masquerade engagement party, the loathing is
mutual. Unfortunately for them—and everyone else—they're in
the wedding party together and must deal with each other for
the next few months.
But when Magnus's younger brother falls for Edie's sister,
he begs for his brother's help in concocting a plan to win
her over. If Magnus can keep the prickly Edie occupied, his
brother will have time to woo Edie’s sister. Of course,
Magnus isn't interested in the slightest, but Edie
is...intriguing. And stubborn. And smart. And sexy. And they
might have more in common than they thought.
Before long, it becomes a challenge between the two of them
to see who will be tamed first. But how’s Edie going to
react when she finds out that Magnus is using her? And how’s
Magnus going to handle the fact that he’s fallen for a cat lady?
