STRANDED WITH A BILLIONAIRE is Book one in Jessica
Clare's Billionaire Boys Club series. I love books
with
a "stranded together" theme. Billionaire Logan Hawkings and
waitress Bronte Dawson would probably not have gotten
together if not for being stuck in an elevator together.
Living through a hurricane and being in survival mode also
adds to the intensity and excitement. In addition to the
stranded theme, Bronte struggles with the difference in
background and wealth that exists between Logan and
herself. The biggest obstacle to Bronte and Logan being
happy together is what's in their minds.
The first part of STRANDED WITH A BILLIONAIRE, when Logan
and Bronte are trapped together because of the storm, is
very sexy and riveting. Jessica Clare does a great job of
establishing the two main characters, making them come
alive, and creating a wonderful chemistry between them.
Trust is an issue for them right away after getting back to
civilization. It's understandable that Logan didn't want to
immediately reveal himself as being a rich man right away,
given his history. However, it's just as understandable why
Bronte feels somewhat betrayed and hurt. They are both
sympathetic characters in their own ways. In spite of these
conflicts that the two create for themselves, I never felt
bogged down by the drama.
One thing I thought was great about STRANDED WITH A
BILLIONAIRE is that both Logan and Bronte go through a
process and grow as individuals. Bronte realizes that Logan
is not the only one with issues that need to be addressed
and worked on. They are both strong characters, but both
have flaws and insecurities. I like when Logan tries to
court Bronte as an average guy would and go on regular
dates. I like that he lets down his guard and confides in
her. It's that emotional intimacy that draws Bronte back to
him and is more valuable to her than any present he could
give her.
STRANDED WITH A BILLIONAIRE is a fun and super sexy romance
with great characters! I loved the supporting characters
like Gretchen, Audrey, and Logan's billionaire buddies. I
look forward to reading about the other billionaires in
future books.
The Billionaire Boys Club is a secret society of six men who
are incredibly wealthy—but not always so successful when it
comes to love
With a visit to a recent business acquisition—a private
island resort in the Bahamas—billionaire Logan Hawkings has
a chance to mend his recently broken heart. But a hurricane,
a misplaced passport, and a stalled elevator lead to an
encounter with an unusual woman.
Brontë Dawson is down-to-earth, incredibly sensual, and even
quotes Plato. She also thinks Logan is simply the hotel’s
domineering yet sexy manager. And after several steamy
island nights in his arms, Brontë’s ready to give her
heart—and her body—to the man in charge. There’s just more
to Logan than he’s told her a billion times more.
