THE BIG, BAD BILLIONAIRE is the fourth book in Jackie
Ashenden's Billionaire Fairy Tales series.
Out of all
the books in this series, I think that THE BIG, BAD
BILLIONAIRE is closest to the classic fairy tale it's
modeled on. The de Santis brothers are all men who have
been broken in some way by their unscrupulous father.
These stories tell how these men shed some of their wild
animal traits, after experiencing love for the first
time. In THE BIG, BAD BILLIONAIRE, Rafe DeSantis is
pursuing Ella Hart for reasons both known and unknown to
him. Ella is a talented dancer, and one of the few people
to treat Rafe with any kindness.
There are some uncomfortable moments in THE BIG, BAD
BILLIONAIRE because Rafe is in the position to control
the purse strings, and Ella's access to her dream of
studying abroad. Having this story told from alternating
perspectives is crucial for the reader because, without
getting that insight into his soul, Rafe can be seen as a
villain. As with previous books in this Billionaire Fairy Tales series,
sex, power, and love vie for
prominence in the relationship between this hero and
heroine. Although he has no truly evil intentions with
respect to Ella, Rafe keeps his deeper feelings hidden
from her throughout most of the book. Rafe and Ella scratch
at each other until they get at raw emotion and the
fallout can be difficult for them both to handle.
Although Rafe starts out trying to maintain control while
still getting what he wants, his love for Ella puts him
through a much needed trial by fire.
THE BIG, BAD BILLIONAIRE is a tale about a corporate wolf
who finds himself a slave to his little red riding hood,
but comes out a better man because of it. The path to
love and happiness is complex and exceedingly arduous at
times for this couple, but the journey makes a
fascinating story. I look forward to reading Jackie
Ashenden's next tale of billionaires and the women who
take them on.
An intensely sexy Billionaire Fairy Tales standalone
novel by Jackie Ashenden that is billionaire romance
meets Little Red Riding Hood with a happily ever after.
Wicked. Ruthless. Obsessed.

his bed. And once he has her there? He’s going to eat her
up.
Innocent. Alone. Hunted.
Ella has been living with her grandmother since the death
of her parents when she was a child. She’s learned to
pour her grief and pain into dance, and it’s become her
escape. Her passion. Now she’s set her sights on a

problem. Ella was so young when her parents died, her
money was left in the hands of the DeSantis family…and

compelling and terrifying at the same time. Rafe offers
her an ultimatum: Give herself to him, body and soul, and
she’ll get the money she needs.
Ella isn’t in a position to refuse, though she tries to
resist the sexy billionaire. It feels good, until her
heart becomes involved. Does the big bad billionaire want
to capture her heart? Or does he only want to own her
body?
