Dirty Billionaire Club #1
Ruthless Boss
Finally, I have my innocent personal assistant right where I want her.
Off-balance. Turned on. Ready for my touch.
I never imagine she will ever step inside the dirtiest club in the country.
The place is filled with debauchery and sin, exactly the kind of place a good girl like her wouldn’t be caught dead in.
No one comes here unless they’re looking for a good time.
It’s that kind of club. No strings attached, hook up in every flavor of kink you can imagine.
So when I see Sandra Hart standing like a newborn fawn on wobbly legs, I walk up behind her, ready to claim her. I’ve wanted her from the moment I saw her, after all.
It is real fun making her tremble and for the first time I could see the desire in her eyes.
I know she wants me too…
Or so I thought. Turns out, she’s here at my club, Club Red, for another reason.
Except she’s not here to relinquish her v-card to me like a good girl. No, she’s here to ruin my whole damn night.
But that’s okay; I always get what I want.
And I want her.

A hidden pain
This book had moments that I absolutely loved and ones that I wished I could have knocked some sense into the characters before they went down a bad path. But overall the story and characters were well developed and drew me into the story. There were areas I would have enjoyed a little more detail, but overall the author built a world that I enjoyed losing myself in for a while. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

Power and sex play a role throughout this whole book. It was an interesting theme to read about and at times too intense for me. Rico was too possessive and Sandra too naive and stubborn. I was torn between wanting Sandra to give in to him but also didn’t like how Rico was with her. I wasn’t sure if I wanted them to get together or not at first. Plus, the dramatics of it all was heavy for me. You get borderline abuse in the story from other side characters but you also get Rico’s obsession with her. I’m all for the hero being obsessed with the heroine but this was too much for me. I wasn’t a fan of Rico and Sandra in the beginning and kept up this feeling up until the half point in the story. I was ready to give this book a 3 for those reasons alone but then the storyline and characters changed my mind. This granted a 4 from me because it was still a good story, well written and enjoyable even though I felt all of that in the first half but not enough to warrant a 3 like I initially felt upon first starting it and not liking the dynamics of Rico and Sandra. When you strip all of that aspect away, you get an emotionally damaged man who cannot trust easily so he participates in sexual release and why he owns Club Red as well as for those who search for the same thing. As Sandra strips all the hurt and damage away from him, you get a man who cares for others, wants to protect them and take care of them. He carefully does this with her in the duration of the story even though his motivation at first was to just sleep with her. It was this part of Rico that changed my mind of him and got me to like him and the way Sandra changes after spending a night with him. Gone is her naivety and you get a woman who cares deeply for him and gains back all her confidence because of him. It was this change in her that gets me to like her as a character and person garnering the higher rating.

Stealing The Heart Of the Grinch -
Rico has serious trust issues borne from the way he grew up, which made him stay away from relationships and make him only concentrate on his businesses and having one time trysts. Sandra on the other hand grew up in the wonderful family and wanted to save herself for marriage. However, the moment they laid eyes on each other, they realised they were attracted to each other. Working together heightened their attraction for each other, but they tried everything in their power to maintain a professional relationship.
Everything changed the moment Sandra innocently walked into the lion’s den looking for her boss for an official matter. They both tried to maintain a professional relationship, but their fates were sealed once Rico touched Sandra. Unfortunately, their path to happiness didn’t run smooth, as someone from Rico’s past return and accidentally caused a friction between them. It took them spending time apart the resolving the issue, for them to get them back on track.
This was an absolutely great and well written story to read, as it had me totally engrossed from the moment I started reading. You will definitely enjoy reading this book, just as much as I did and also be happy to recommend it.

Rico et Sandra
Patron et employé
L'intrigue est intéressante mais l'écriture/ la plume est bof
📖
Enfin, j'ai mon assistante personnelle innocente là où je la veux.
Déséquilibre. Allumé. Prêt pour mon contact.
Je n’imagine jamais qu’elle entrera un jour dans le club le plus sale du pays.
L'endroit est rempli de débauche et de péché, exactement le genre d'endroit dans lequel une bonne fille comme elle ne se retrouverait pas morte.
Personne ne vient ici à moins de chercher à passer un bon moment.
C'est ce genre de club. Aucune condition attachée, connectez-vous à toutes les saveurs de perversité que vous pouvez imaginer.
Alors, quand je vois Sandra Hart debout comme un faon nouveau-né sur des jambes bancales, je m'approche derrière elle, prête à la réclamer. Je la voulais depuis le moment où je l'ai vue, après tout.
C'est vraiment amusant de la faire trembler et pour la première fois je pouvais voir le désir dans ses yeux.
Je sais qu'elle me veut aussi…
Du moins c'est ce que je pensais. Il s'avère qu'elle est ici dans mon club, le Club Red, pour une autre raison.
Sauf qu'elle n'est pas là pour me céder sa carte virtuelle comme une gentille fille. Non, elle est là pour gâcher toute ma foutue soirée.
Mais ça va; J'obtiens toujours ce que je veux.
Et je la veux.

First, the author is new to me. I liked her writing style. Second, contemporary romance isn't something I read normally, but I like to switch it up a bit every once in a while. The description looked like an interesting story, and I was not disappointed.
This is definitely an adult only book.
I love how the story evolves. The characters are likeable and the eventual romance has a lot of steam.
Minor typos. But nothing that would hinder the enjoyment of the book. I liked the mystery also.
I also liked how Sandra "grew" and became comfortable with Rico's second business. I also liked how he "helped" Sandra grow. Rico is cunning and arrogant. But he has good reasons to be. Sandra is dedicated to being the best personal assistant she can be.
Both of the characters were fun to read about.
Great HEA.
I will be looking for more of her books in the future.

Rico and Sandra make this story sizzle! She is his personal assistant who has become an obsession to him. She comes from a stable family while his was dysfunctional and as a result it has made him the man he has become. When Sandra comes to his club to give him a message it will change their relationship. She promised herself that she would save herself for marriage but going to Rico's club has her feelings things that has laid dormant until the club. Maintaining a professional relationship is difficult especially after he gets a taste of her. Will their relationship turn into something more and will it lead them to a happily ever after. This story kept me glued to the pages! I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

Hot bond and strained trust
4.5
We could see the cliché of the very rich and rude man, owner of a private club, and that of the very innocent young girl, however, from the first chapter, the tone is set between Rico and his admittedly innocent assistant, Sandra, but who isn't naive or stupid either. The story is a struggle of trust between the two of them, with all the relationship pressure growing too. It's hot from the first lines, while keeping a part of tenderness, even if I wondered if really, a man who lives in depravity, could change at all so quickly?
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

This started off as mildly interesting and it quickly deteriorated to this nonsensical story moving at breakneck speed.
Why would she stay in the sex club after almost being assaulted in it especially when she's so meek?
Why is she sleeping there when the sun is still shining outside?
Why was it so urgent and yet so completely forgettable that she just had to go in?
Why was an ex employee there after she's already worked for him for over a year...
Why did he become entirely unprofessional overnight?
Why did she need her hair cut in a trite and nonsensical makeover scene?
It's all utterly ludicrous and childish. Good lord is the bar really so low?

It was a nice romance with an edge
The storyline surprised me a bit. It was cool that the male lead named Rico was a businessman but with a club for extra curricular activities. A lot of the story happened at his Club Red. There were secondary characters Blake, Hunter, from the club that showed up but with little background revealed. There was fun, miscommunication, fighting, etc. the relationship between Rico and Sandra did progress nicely. There was a lot of off page things that the story alluded about abuse and business problems. Although I enjoyed reading this book, it did feel like part of the story was missing, like chapters and scenes. Read On!

Sandra is RIco personal assistant and she goes to the Red Club because has some important news to tell him.
But when she walks in to the club she is shocked and intrigued by what she sees and she gets turned on.
RIco sees her and he knows that she is a virgin and he wants her all for himself so does someone else in the room.But only has eyes for Rico.
It's a enjoyable read with drama,betrayal and trust issues.
There is also a lot of chemistry between them and some really Steamy scenes and some dark parts about Rico 's past.
But overall a great read with a hea and epilogue at the end.
I received and voluntary reviewed this book and leave my honest view and opinion.
Recommend 18+

I absolutely loved everything about this book. The characters the storyline the drama and oh my goodness the heat.
Sandra is PA to Rico. He has wanted her since day one and secretly she has him too. When she chances losing her job to deliver a message to him at Club Red things take a turn. That’s all I wish to share because this book is just worth reading for yourself!
This is a must read from this wonderful author and I am looking forward to the next book. I was honored to receive an arc copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my review.

Great story
I liked the dynamic between the characters. Lots of sexual tension. Will she, will he convince her. Not everyone has that kind of complete confidence in their own body, and expressing those feelings in a physical way. She was able to think about it, but only dreamed of really having sex. Rico was a very complex man, with a lot of childhood trauma affecting his possible relationship with any commitment. I liked the spin on his Mother, and the ending was very satisfying.

this book was an interesting read..
The main characters are likeable and the eventual romance has alot of passion and steaminess ...
A FEW Minor typos. But nothing that would hinder the enjoyment of the book...
Together they helped each other accept their differences and life experiences...
Rico is cunning and arrogant.... he has good reasons to be...
Sandra is innocent in many ways , yet she is dedicated to being the best pa she can be..
when she enters Rico's domain , her eyes and thoughts and desires are awakened...
Both of the characters were fun to read about.

A good read, one you will enjoy.
Sandra is the PA for Rico. He owns a sex club which she wouldn’t normally go in, but one night she has a work related message to deliver to him and enter the club, she must !
The story starts there and does get better.
There are parts in the book that make you want to shout at Sandra and you think she deserves the trouble she brings - you will know when you get there !!
Rico is a bit intense but his story unravels and makes more sense.

From the moment that Sandra crosses the line and enters his club, Rico want to claim her as his. She was only chasing him there for a work issue, but now Rico is just too tempted by his innocent personal assistant. I loved the drama of Rico and Sandra's story, the contrast of how different they seem at first and the scorching attraction between them.
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received, and giving my thoughts and opinions on it.

Rico and Sandra will take you on one wild ride. This book is very intense and overflowing with drama. They're opposites in every way, but their attraction is intense. He had a lot of scars from his upbringing, and she's an innocent who still has her V card. They're both layered characters who peel back the layers together. A good book that will grab your attention and make you think. I read a free advance copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.

Life with trusf
This story makes me think about the people we tend to trust freely. That's ok as long as you know there's only a few people that go through your life that you can trust. The word THROUGH meaning if they are passing through, don't trust. them.

This is not my cup of tea, I like a little more plot with my smexy scenes. For those of you looking for 200+ pages of smutt, billionaire boss, and minimal plot this is for you. Well written.

Steamy tough guy romance
RUTHLESS BOSS is one of those books you read for an entertaining distraction starring a possessive, debauched leading men and virtuous, loyal leading ladies. It’s a page turner with a few “what was that all about?” moments.

This was a good read. Rico owns a sex club and Sandra is his PA. She comes to the club one night and things change for them. They end up falling in love and getting their happy ending.

I don’t even know where to start with this book. He is a billionaire (aren’t they all) and he owns a club, you go into a room and the colour of the lights indicates what sex act is allowed in there. It’s basically room after room of varying degrees of orgy and the delicate innocent assistant decides to run through these endless rooms?? Ok that’s one time but still. The ML is not likeable and the FL just annoyed me.
