Romance and intrigue

INDEBTED is a good “reform the rake/fake relationship” romance that also delves into the tech and financial business world. Jaxson’s image needs cleaning up after a pop star/tabloid break up and Harper needs a job with money to help her family back home.

The family dynamic is very well done in this story with Harper’s family being different and memorable.

Catastrophes and Hard Knocks on the Path to Success and Love

People move to San Francisco for many reasons. For Jaxon-Jax-Bancroft the move was a no-brainer. San Fran was the Mecca for the tech world that he so desperately wished to conquer. And, at one time, as a young college student Jax and his buddies, Nick Maywood and Grayson Blackstone, had created Quick Reels—a clever, addictive game that would become their ticket to success, wealth and the West Coast good life.

But, the three creative friends, in their innocence and naivety, became the victims of Zack Villefort, a clever, crafty man whose gift was to trick and defraud young entrepreneurs. While gifted thinkers, coders and inventors, the three were not savvy in the scams of a sneaky shysters who cleverly stole the intellectual property of the three friends wreaking havoc on the dreams and plans of trusting young men.

Now, after retreating back home to his family, Jax is back in San Fran, burned by his earlier mistakes, he is now ready to do business with hard learned wisdom in the field of “trust and verify.” His new company, Honeycomb Games, is ready to issue an IPO and to introduce a new game—Chocolate Crush. And, having learned from his past, Jax has tried to ensure that he will not make the same mistakes again.

And so, this time, he is careful and wary. He has sought the guidance of Mason Sullivan, the chairman of Sullivan Healy Newhouse, Honeycomb’s venture capital firm. SHN is a well-respected and well-known firm that helps guide young startups to success. And while he has a respected firm and a potentially great game—still with some tech issues—Jax has gained some reputation issues. Equally frustrating his IPO launch is his inability to gain control of his on social media image following a messy dating relationship and break up with an extremely popular singer/song writer.

Tessa Sky seemed to find unending creativity and inspiration when turning their brief, but very public affair, into music—resulting in his own public relations nightmare at delicate time in his company’s internal board and stock actions. His disgruntled former lover’s disgruntled prolific airing of their private—and very much embellished—relationship was destroying his office dynamics, his board’s respect and killing the hopes of the stock offering.

Jax desperately needs an office manager who is personable, firm and sharp. He needs also needs temporary girl friend who can snuff the gossip and constantly fanned flames by Tessa’s PR drops and character destroying internet song drops—even if he has to seek a professional woman for hire to be his arm candy, providing a distraction to the Tessa story. So, as he builds his company and puts out fires, Jax is frustrated by his inability to retain a person as his PA—one who will not try to become Mrs. Bancroft or sell the story of her time as his PA to the paparazzi.

So, when Harper Lockwood a beautiful graduate of Boston University, a credentialed graphic designer, connects with the job through a friend, she is hired with only a few queries from the boss—Zack. And had he been an ogre, she would have accepted. She needs a job that pays a good salary without asking her to perform illegal or immoral acts.

When the CEO of her company absconded with the company’s payroll, leaving all the employees high and dry, she became desperate to get a job—to pay the rent—to buy food—to not have to return home to her family home near Boston where she would be expected to become the unpaid cook, housekeeper, caregiver and general girl-Friday for her large, loving but dysfunctional, Catholic family. And while being a member of the daily operations of her family, she must admit that she gained a high degree of tolerance for an individual’s weaknesses, and quite capable of managing the diverse needs of many—the definition of a successful PA to CEO.

Again, Ainsley St. Claire has crafted a delightful romance filled with attraction, mystery, challenges and the magic of love. As the second installment, she leaves the reader satisfied with the knowledge that the story of three college friends who received an education in the school of life of shysters and charlatans has one more installment and that all has ended well for 2 of the 3 friends.

I received an ARC for this romance through BookSprout, but also bought a copy for my Kindle collection.

Ainsley has not disappointed me yet. This is another page, chapter turner. You will fall in love with Jaxson and Harper. This is Book 2 of Paper Billionaires, so you need to read The Set Up, Grayson & Scarlett's story for it to help make sense. Jaxson is getting ready to take his companies initial public offering (IPO), and his reputation is taking a huge hit by a pop star who he happened to date for a short time, but is managing to make his life suffer. His Board of Directors are demanding a change of direction of his playboy lifestyle. Harper has lost her job as a graphic designer and has virtually no money, as her last company just closed with no notice and her last paycheck bounced. She and Jaxson meet auspiciously and things change from there. Jaxson offers her a lucrative job as his assistant, with an option as graphic designer down the road. Many offers to keep her, but she doesn't want money for her, she wants it for her family. There is so much in this book - characters from Clear Security, characters from the original Venture Capitalists!! There's corporate espionage, who is pulling the strings? I, for one, cannot wait to find out more what will happen next. Ainsley, don't make us wait too long, I know it will be amazing. Do not hesitate to read this story - this was a one day read for me. It was that good. Oh, as if I could forget, heat is off the charts... thank you again!

This is the second book in paper billionaire series, but is also a standalone book. This is Harper and Jaxson’s story but it also leaves off with Grayson, Blackstone and Nick Maywood from The Set Up. Jaxson finds himself in the need of fixing his image for his company so his board suggests that he has a fake relationship to Savage. His business. Where is Harper just wants to be a graphic designer she ends up becoming his dedicated assistant where it goes back-and-forth between the two they both have growing feelings for each other, but don’t wanna act on them, what started off as a fake romance blossoms into a whirlwind that will leave you breathless. It also goes into more detail about the the company that was stolen out from underneath , Grayson, Nick and Jaxson. As they go about trying to get their revenge on the ruthless Zack Villefort. I promise you this will leave you turning the page to find out what’s next with a roller coaster of emotional events and unexpected twist. It is a whirlwind of electrifying chemistry between the two as well as for bidden desire and undeniable connection while the to try to find where they belong in this crazy buck. He needs to save his company and she is just the woman to do it. I would 100% recommend this book.

Uncovering Their Truths -
This was an absolutely fantastic story, that me so engrossed I actually missed Sunday Mass (Catholic guilt). Each page turn had me itching to find out if Jaxson and Harper were going to get their act together and realise what everyone around them could see, which was how good they were together professionally and personally. Their relationship may have started out as pretend, but their chemistry was off the charts.

I was really rooting for them from the beginning to not only resolve the problems surrounding the business, but also find a way to acknowledge their feelings for each other and work towards getting their happily ever after. The part of the story that really got to me was the way they were each so close to their families, especially the love they had for Harmony.

I can say without a shadow of doubt, that Ainsley St Claire did a great job writing this amazing story, with interesting romantic moments, steamy encounters, close friendships, family loyalty and the mystery surrounding corporate espionage, that had me glued to the pages from the beginning. I urge you to grab a copy of this book, switch off your phone and lock your doors, because once you start reading this book, there is no chance you will want to take a break until you finish reading it.

It’s a tale as old as time in the romance book world. Billionaire playboy needs to improve his image for his company’s board. This is the situation Jaxson Bancroft finds himself in. His famous ex girlfriend is dragging his name through the tabloids, and his reputation is threatening to tank his company’s IPO. The solution? A fake girlfriend/fiancé. Enter Harper. After a disastrous first meeting between Jaxson and Harper, he eventually convinces her to pose as his fake girlfriend and fiancé. This, of course, leads to each developing real feelings for each other, but neither willing to admit it.

Jaxson and his friends are also still dealing with the evil Villefort and his attempts to sabotage their new companies. Jaxson is also dealing with his very famous ex trying to very publicly win him back.

While all of this is going on, there’s missed communication and misunderstandings between Jaxson and Harper. I’m the end, love always wins though, and Jaxson and Harper find their happily ever after.

This latest I’m the Paper Billionaire series from Ainsley St. Claire does not disappoint. The characters are well developed and I couldn’t stop reading.

[Nicky · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely love the billionaire world that Ainsley has created…it’s great to add more characters whilst still keeping the old ones involved.

This book follows on from The Set Up in the Paper Billionaires series. It follows the story of Jaxson and Harper.

They have an unconventional start to their relationship but love blossoms although neither is willing to admit to the other.

Harper grew up in a large family where the kids were supposed to raise each other and do stuff for their parents. She moved away to gain her independence and grow as a person.

Jaxson has a psycho ex who loves media attention and looks to tell all on their brief affair. His company is getting ready to float on stock exchange and this is having a detrimental effect….that’s where Harper comes in.

Running alongside their romance is the drama with Villefort from ‘The Setup’ more details are revealed and action is taken.

I can’t wait for the next book ‘Vanquished’ to be released so we can conclude this series with the story of Nick and Olivia. I’m assuming that Villefront will also get his comeuppance too!

If you haven’t read any of Ainsley’s book I can’t recommend them enough.

Main Characters: Jaxson and Harper

5 out of 5 stars
I loved this book and every single book I have read by this author. (19 of them so far) Jaxon is the billionaire CEO of Honeycomb Games. Jaxson along with his friends Grayson and Nick had 10 years before created Quick Reels which Zack Villefort managed to steal out from under the tree of them. Now they have created another game and someone is trying to sabotage their IPO. It's a race against time with their Board wanting to see Jaxson in a more stable relationship after his disastrous breakup with Tess Sky who managed to create a hit song going on about their fling. Enter Harper who becomes his assistant and fake girlfriend. This was a slow burn for these two and eventually, they become engaged. I loved both of these characters. Harper has a large family and it was fun meeting all of them. I loved that Ainsley had a HEA for now and added a bonus epilogue. I am looking forward to hearing more about Nick and his relationship. Highly recommend you read this book and all books by Ainsley St. Claire.

[A Hybrid Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

First of all, I want to say it is an amazing story, what I love about Ainsley St Claire stories is the fact that we get to see old faces in a whole new story.

This Time the story is about Jaxson and Harper, two people with two different backgrounds that end up together by chance, he needs someone to pretend to be his girlfriend, maybe fiancé, possibly wife in order to secure his company going public and she needs a job and help in order for her to help her family, she is the middle child of a family of eight, and she feels she has a responsibility to help her sisters as some of them are sort of trap in the family dynamic.

The whole thing starts as a contract, but then things change. They spent a lot of time together and they get to know each other so the only end up seeing the flaws each of them have, at the same time both of them are scared because they think everything is just a contract and they don’t want to get feelings if the things are going to end soon.

One of the things that I actually love about this book is that it shows family relations in a different light of what we’ve been seeing and I actually love to see those portrayed in books.

This book has fake dating trope, fake fiancé, crazy ex girlfriend, and a lot of love.

I honestly loved it!

Another great read for the Paper Billionaires series, this is Jaxson's story. Grayson, Jaxson and Nick are the three musketeers and have been throughout their lives. They all have a common enemy that wants to destroy their bond and businesses. He has struck again and as Jaxson prepares his company, Honeycomb for IPO launch and his new game release, Spy Game, their enemy strikes again. Harper is looking for job as the last thing she wants is to move home. She takes an admin job, even though she is a graphic designer, just to stay in San Francisco. However, this new job position becomes incredibly complicated and layered as Jaxson and Harper find themselves working very well together both professionally and personally. A great story that will suck you into the financial world of business that Jaxson, Gray and Nick navigate daily as their lives are also complicated by finding a woman that balances them out. I love how we get to see some past characters from other series, this is a close group and they make for some great stories. Money is great but it can not buy love and happiness. Enjoy!.

The story may not be new, but the way it’s recounted here makes it well worth the time it takes to read it. (For me, just two sittings!)

A billionaire needs some reputation repair so he hires his personal assistant to be a fake fiancée. Of course the chemistry between them leads to more than just casual banter. Much more.

And this all happens while our hero is about to take his company public. Add a villain who is out to destroy him for the second time and you'll have a sizzling five-star read.

For context, there are familiar faces from the author’s other books (I’ve read them all). But these very likeable new characters make it fresh and exciting despite the “billionaire” and “Fake Fiancée” tropes. And I promise it will keep you engaged right up to the last page.

4.5 Stars! What a first impression Jaxon made! So far from a meet cute, yet it kind of worked.
I loved Harper! She was basically your girl-next-door type, but she really helped Jaxon get his whole world in order. I felt for her with everything she had to deal with in regards to her family. I was not a fan of her parents or her oldest brother!
I really liked Jaxon, but there were a few moments when he he didn’t make the best choices or say the smartest thing that had me wince or cringe. I still love the friendship he has with Nick and Gray.
It was such a small thing in the grand scheme, but I loved that there was a character with ASD. And the scenes with Christophe made me melt and I wanted to know more about him and his daughter!.

Jaxson is getting a lot of bad press from his recent breakup that is threatening to ruin his upcoming IPO so his board wants him to “settle down” he tries with a bunch of high end professionals but nothing works out until a mix up with an interview for his new assistant and a his new girlfriend and he propositions the wrong girl. Their chemistry is off the charts and once the situation is clarified Harper takes the job as his assistant not girlfriend. Later without any other options they try out a fake engagement too. They have to overcome miscommunications and more drama as the villain of the series is making moves to sabotage everything.

Jaxson and Harper are really cute. I loved learning more about both of their families and the extra relationships really made the book feel real. Great spice and always new parts of the mystery being revealed! Awesome series so far.

If you have read Ainsley ST Claire's previous series then you can understand when I say I miss the San Fran Family she has created. Even though we are starting a new series she brings you right back to the heart of it all. You still get to catch up with Jim and Kate, Mason and Caroline, and who can forget Cameron, along with many other loved familiar characters. As you read through Indebted you get to fall in love with new characters and expand on the twist and turns we learned about in The Set Up with Zack Villefort. I loved getting to watch Jackson fall for Harper despite his best efforts. I am already excited for book 3 and keeping my fingers crossed we get to see what happens with Nick next.

A billionaire in need of a stable relationship and a graphic designer in need of a job. Who would have thought that they would be perfect together.

Harper needs a job but an Administrative Assistant to a billionaire is not what she had in mind. Especially when that comes with pretending to be his girlfriend.

Jaxson needs someone who will act loving and stay by his side until the tabloids deem him boring. He also needs someone to manage his day and be a watchguard of his office.

They fit so perfectly that you forget the relationship is suppose to be pretend.

Loved the story!!! Can't wait to see how the next one falls.

Indebted: Book 2 of Paper Billionaires by Ainsley St Claire is another truly captivating story set in this series. Ainsley is a master at keeping you hooked! Jaxson and Harper make for an interesting journey as they navigate the fake engagement in the public eye all whilst still working crazy busy hours.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading and didn't want to put down. I suggest reading The Set Up prior so that you have the background as this story although a standalone for the couple has a back story for the series.

This book quietly mesmerises you with the sweet, and bubbling way that billionaire businessman Jaxson, under the guise of a contract, slowly falls for the innocent and loveable Harper. Although they are both great at their jobs, they are woefully incompetent at telling each other how they feel. We are back again in San Francisco. All the usual suspects are there, Mason, Caroline, Jim etc. There’s everything from sweet incompetence, crazy exes, steamy love scenes, corporate espionage and fun. It’s a compelling read. I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. Another masterpiece. Enjoy !!.

Office romance, fake relationship, office espionage, family drama and more. So many twist and turns until the very end.
Jaxon is a CEO of Honeycomb, a billionaire. His recent break up with pop star smeared his image as heartbreaker and its affecting his company's value before going public. So his board demands he get into a fake relationship to repair his image. Now he is seeking fake relationship that might entail engagement and more.
Harper is down on her luck. She moved from Boston to get away from her big family and make her degree work except she won't have any work to go back to. She is in desperate need of job and when she applied for PA job, she never imagined she would be asked to do more than usual PA job.
When he met Harper he thought she was one of the potential fake girlfriend so he was spewing inappropriate job description to her and that's how they met. She flatly refused but he couldn't get her off his mind and offered his PA job and willing to work his way into getting her to accept his fake relationship.
From than on, story takes another turn and things heat up. Not only they work well together, they seem genuine to everyone else except there are more problems ensue.
I loved Harper for being independent and strong. Story moved quickly and I enjoyed their banter.
I liked this one better than the first one. I can't wait to read the next one.

I really enjoyed Jaxson and Harper's story. I liked Jaxson's love for his family and loyalty to his friends and liked how he came to really respect Harper. I liked her feisty attitude, work ethic and willingness to help her siblings, though I couldn’t believe how selfish her mother was. Although I did not always understand the financial goings on this in no way detracts from the story. I liked the intrigue and look forward to Nick's story to see if the friend group gets revenge/justice they seek.

Revenge can be sweet

Jaxson has been playing loose with women. His latest escapade is with a pop star that keeps putting him in the spotlight that he hates. Now his board wants him to clean up his act by getting married! How is he going to pull this one off?

Harper needs a job NOW. When she applies for an admin assistant job at Jaxson’s company, he starts by asking her inappropriate questions, believing she’s someone else. Now she works for him and he has an idea, why not become engaged to her? Since they get along so well. Nothing could go wrong there. Right?

Another fantastic book from Ainsley and she never disappoints. Her stories, while maybe done before, are always fresh and exciting. She blends in suspense, great plots, and even better romance. Her latest series, Paper Billionaires is no exception.

I enjoyed this one more than the first. I'm still finding the work related storyline more interesting than the romance side, but I did like Jaxon and Harper better overall than the previous book in the series. I still skimmed the dirty scenes, they just weren't all that interesting to me. I liked the dynamic with Harper and her family as well. I'm definitely looking forward to the next book and how all the business stuff is going to play out.

I read the Set-Up and immediately downloaded Indebted 30 seconds later. Ainsley is one of my favorite authors and the world she has created with characters from previous books is amazing and extremely satisfying Her ability to create a a cohesive subplot that flows and connects each book ensures that I will read the next book in the series. Can’t believe I have to wait 8 months for the conclusion to this series. Torture, pure torture.

Indebted is a fake relationship romance between Jaxson, a billionaire player and CEO of a tech company whose board demands a PR make-over, and Harper, a graphic designer hired as his administrative assistant and eventually convinced to be his fake fiancé. Their slow burn romance has amazing characters, mistaken identity, drama, mystery, and business difficulties and revenge. This is a great read.

Loved Harper and Jaxson!

From the beginning it was a love connection even if they didn't understand the pull! They worked so good together and in the end they truly got their happy ending. I felt like the Lockwood parents were selfish and the mother was weak and played on her kids sympathetic feelings! Tessa was crazy! Villefort is going to get his soon! I'm really enjoying this series!
