THE BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR is book one in Jessica Lemmon's
Billionaire Bad
Boys series. In spite of a most
inauspicious first meeting, in which Merina Van Heusen
confronts Reese Crane about a real estate deal near and
dear to her heart, they wind up married a mere matter of
days later. I love marriage of convenience-themed stories
as well as ones in which the hero and heroine have to
fake a relationship that turns real, and THE BILLIONAIRE
BACHELOR has those elements. This is a great story for
fans who enjoy romances that have a hero and heroine who
start off as fiery verbal combatants but evolve into
fiery lovers.
Merina and Reese's temporary marriage unexpectedly plays
with their emotions. Even though Merina and Reese have
both been deeply betrayed by people they cared about in
the past, Reese has been unable to get past his hurt and
has let it color all of his relationships with women
afterward. The affectionate displays they put on, for the
media and Reese's board of directors, are unexpectedly
full of heat and sexual tension that is blistering.
It's very helpful having THE BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR told
from alternating perspectives because there is so much
deception, and the main characters often do and say the
opposite from how they really feel. Jessica Lemmon does a
wonderful job making the romance come alive as Merina and
Reese experience the desire and anguish push and pull as
they figure out what they want from their relationship.
The journey Merina and Reese go on together in THE
BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR is very emotionally profound.
THE BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR is roller coaster romance
between two very hot-blooded and complicated characters.
The complexities brought on by love make for an
intriguing story. The passion that develops between
Merina and Reese translate into some sizzling scenes. I
would love to see stories about characters like Lorelei
and Tag in future books. I look forward to the next
Billionaire Bad Boys book by Jessica Lemmon.
Manwhore.
That's what the board of directors-and the tabloids-thinks
of billionaire bachelor Reese Crane. Ordinarily he couldn't
care less, but his playboy past is preventing the board from
naming him CEO of Crane Hotels. Nothing-and no one-will keep
him from his life's legacy. They want a settled man to lead
the company? Then that's exactly what he'll give
them.
Merina Van Heusen will do anything to get
her parents' funky boutique hotel back-even marry
cold-as-ice-but-sexy-as-hell Reese Crane. It's a simple
business contract-six months of marriage, absolute secrecy,
and the Van Heusen is all hers again. But when sparks fly
between them, their passion quickly moves from the boardroom
to the bedroom. And soon Merina is living her worst
nightmare: falling in love with her husband . . .
