CHRISTMAS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE RANCHER is Book 1 in Mandy
Baxter's Billionaire's Club: Texas Heartthrobs
series.
Within the first few pages of the story, Mandy Baxter
establishes who the main characters are and what drives
them. Nate Christensen is a former soldier turned sexy
cowboy trying to come to terms with the recent death of a
father he was estranged from. Chloe Benson is a fierce
advocate for children who need one the most, and her job
involves getting money for her charity. Although their
first meeting is at an unusual setting for a romance to
begin -- his father's memorial service -- sparks fly right
away.
The physical attraction between Nate and Chloe is
immediate and intense. Because things get sexual so
quickly, having the CHRISTMAS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE
RANCHER told from both perspectives gives the story a
soul and enables the reader to get to know the characters
better, even though they hardly know each other. The
trysts between Nate and Chloe are highly erotic and
frenzied. I like that they start to fall for each other
emotionally very quickly as well. The relationship seems
to exist in a cocoon and set apart from friends, family,
and the rest of the outside world. It is almost
inevitable when reality intrudes into their bliss.
CHRISTMAS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE is a character-driven
Christmas romance mixed in with a little dose of Texas
sexy. Both
Nate and Chloe appear to be more complex characters as
the story progresses. The conflict that arises between
Nate and Chloe is foreseeable at the outset, but still
just as devastating for the characters when it happens.
Nate's hidden hurt, which explains why he's cautious and
fearful in relationships, is not revealed until almost the
very end. Chloe is a very giving and compassionate
character, and I like her more with each new thing I learn
about her. Once again, Mandy Baxter has an effective use
of children in a story by having the main characters
connect over a child. I look forward to the next
Billionaire's Club: Texas Heartthrobs book.
In Christmas with the Billionaire Rancher by Mandy Baxter,
there's nothing Nate Christensen hates more than a
golddigger.
Nate wants to stay away from all the women who
want his money. That is, until he meets the sexy, beautiful
Chloe Benson, who lights a fire in his blood that only the
most passionate nights can ease...
Chloe cannot get enough of Nate-she's never felt more wild
with desire in her life. The only problem is, she needs
Nate's money. True, it's for a very worthy charity...but is
their passion enough to still Nate's fears that she's only
wants him for how big his bank account is?
