Protesting Destiny
Ethan Newhouse is a terrible man. He’s a billionaire CEO who earned his fortune by being ruthless, exploiting people, and doing whatever it takes to make him richer. He’s also strikingly handsome with a charming smile, and I seem to be the only one on the planet who’s not fooled by it.
I was supposed to be the one to bring him down, not succumb to his game.
I was supposed to be the one to ignore his good looks, not fall for his charms.
I was supposed to see through his publicity stunts, not buy into them.
But now I’m accepting a job offer at his company?
Now I’m working for the man I despise?
What’s wrong with me?
Maybe I want to believe there’s more to him.
Maybe I want to be proven wrong…
A steamy enemies-to-lovers romance with fiery heroine who refuses to back down from a beguiling billionaire who thought he had it all until he met her.

Oh,Whitney get it together honey !!😉
The late Whitney Houston said “it’s not right but it’s okay 👍🏽 I’m going to make it anyway!!”
The Whitney in this book needed to take some hard advice from an adult. This silly individual was so judgmental and immature it was insane. Good thing our hero kept giving her chances.
Whitney knew that deep down Ethan was a good man but she kept listening to fake news. Humans do you know what happens when you listen to fake news ?? You get burned and Whitney was no exception as she spent her nights alone trying to make the fiction around her facts.
However, this gal started to have some feelings and emotions and went on a roller coaster 🎢 or 7 and Ethan forgave her again!!
Ladies go get yourself an Ethan because real men do not tolerate this unless they are a saint.
But as always the line that steals the show for me !!
That ache that can only mean one thing. Love. I’ve fallen in love with Ethan Newhouse. Not falling in love—fallen in love. And I just cannot believe that.
Oh, wasn’t that good ? I know go give this a purchase and as always I had to give you some highlights to keep you warm at night.
Happy reading everyone 😍🥰

Now where’s my billionaire boyfriend to sweep me off my feet? 🥲
March 22, 2023
Idealistic Whitney (h19) steals a press badge and is intent on millkshaking Ethan (H30+), a billionaire CEO she believes to be publicly brought down. Ethan’s security catches her before she can act and when she fac-to-face with Ethan, she can’t help but be drawn to him. Ethan spies Whitney and instantly falls for the younger woman and is intent on getting her to see who he truly is and not the stories that she’s believe up till now. He invites her into his home, business, and life so she can see the real Ethan. Things heat up quickly between Ethan and Whitney in this age gap, OTT hot and steamy romantic quickie.

I absolutely love the newest book by the amazing Jenna Rose. Whitney starts off completely radical and ready to squirt ketchup on the head of a company she thinks is doing wrong. I love how Ethan shows her he is a good man and how they get the perfect ending.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advanced reader copy of this book.
Whitney had a plan and that was to show the world who Ethan Newhouse truly was, her plan was to arrive at the press launch of his new project and squirt him with tomato ketchup she had even gone as far as to steal a press badge, her moment was about to come when she is suddenly being escorted away from the man himself and placed in a room until the big man himself arrives. Whitney suddenly finds herself second guessing all that she thought she already knew, especially when she starts working for him and falling in love was never part of the plan, could what she believed have all been a lie or has she been duped?
Ethan caught sight of the beautiful young girl in the crowd of press and knew that she didn’t belong, no matter that she had a press badge and her beauty called to him from a far, so when he instructed his men to escort her out, he knew that he had to meet her. She was everything that he knew she would be, and she appeared to hate him. He knew that he had his work cut out for him to prove that what she thought she knew was all lies, he hadn’t expected that she would steal his heart in the process but now he has had her he knows that he can never let her go, but when someone tries to destroy what they have will Whitney believe him or the lies of others?
Yet another fantastic read from Ms. Rose, I did find Whitney to be very naïve and determined to believe the worst of Ethan who had tried to show her the truth. Enjoyable quick read. 4.3*

This steamy OTT age-gap, insta-love, billionaire romance is told in dual P.O.V'S. Whitney is an idealistic young woman(19)who is passionate in her beliefs and she believes that billionaire CEO Ethan is exploiting workers. When she goes to confront him after she steals the press badge so she can get near him with a milkshake that she plans on throwing on him. Unfortunately for her Ethan's security catches her before she had the chance to do anything and Whitney comes face to face with Ethan and she somehow feels drawn to him. Whereas Ethan took one look at Whitney and he was hooked completely captivated by her and he plans to show her who he really is so she can see the difference from what she's heard and believed from the stories before she met him. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this steamy OTT age-gap insta-love billionaire romance to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

3.5 ⭐️’s | Different kind of Jenna Rose story
• Story/Plot: 📖📖📖 /5
• Characters: 🫂🫂🫂
• Drama/Angst: 😰😰
• Steam: 🔥🔥
• POV: Dual
• HEA? ✔️
• Would I re-read? I’ll always read her next story
This definitely felt like a different kind of Jenna Rose to me. I can usually connect a little better to the FMC, but didn’t as much in this one as previous. It might have been her immaturity.
With that said, I still enjoyed the story. I really liked the MMC. He gave as good as he got and I appreciated that he didn’t really lord his maturity & experience over her.
The dream in the story really got me 🤣 it made me laugh when she woke up. I really liked the ending as well.
This story, like all of Jenna Rose’s is worth a read!.

They can fight the pull between them, but they are not going to win. Instead they are going to learn some very important lessons about appearances.
This is a short romance story. The story is very well written and easy to read with a well developed cast. Our hero and heroine have great chemistry right from the start. They have a few complications to deal which provides a bit of entertainment. Along the way, we get plenty of steam and a nice HEA epilogue. Overall, another fun story and look forward to more from this author.
Highly recommended.

The vitriol that Whitney (h) has for Ethan (H) is massive and heavily colors at least the first 20% of the book. Whitney is super judgy and foolish in the way she believed the propaganda about Ethan. She turned me off from the onset and didn’t quite change my opinion. Ethan was a super nice guy that could have done better. I really liked a Hero of the book but he can’t make a great book alone. This book needed a different heroine that was fiery and mature.

Whitney was an idealistic college student intent on publicly humiliating CEO Ethan as she believes all the hype about his bad character and deeds. One look at Whitney and Ethan knows she is his one. He keeps her close to show her he’s not who she thinks, he wants to be her forever. Sweet, steamy with amazing chemistry, misunderstandings, miscommunications, a little drama, a determined hero and a wonderful HEA.

I don’t like the FMC much, she is too naive for her own good. The MMC is wearing rose colored glasses when it comes to her. Well, he is head over heels in love with her.
To enjoy it, suspend reality and your beliefs for a while because it is packing in heat. That is that part where they make sense.

She was there to take him down but ended up falling for the boss who is bad guy especially to the workers. He had to change and he would do anything for her and make her his. A great story and always great stories coming from jenna rose.

The author has given us a fast-paced older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Ethan and Whitney. The story keeps us turning the pages with connection, misconceptions and steam.

Billionaire Ethan seems like a bad guy but he really isn’t. Whitney hates him just because he is rich. Ethan proves he isn’t a bad guy. They fall in love. Had okay spice. Just didn’t do it for me.
