This is only my second book from this author and granted I probably need to read more to base a full opinion, but I must say for this type of read (you known the quick dirty little reads that some of us love to just pass the time with before digging into a full length book) I find that she has one of the more mature writing style. I say that because I’m not rolling my eyes after every other sentence. The attraction is felt. The sex scenes are blush inducing.
To much of a good thing is all I can say about this book. It's 50 Shades of Grey meets Beautiful Bastard on Viagra.......and I mean exceeding the recommended dosage. If you like just reading about sex over and over and over and over and over again, then this is the book for you. I like reading about sex as much as your typical chick, but when even I'm getting bored over her millionth mind blowing orgasm, it's just to much. Not to mention the whole virgin thing, there is no possible way being a virgin that you can have that much sex in that short amount of time. He might as well dumped some super glue on his shlong as lube and permanently parked it there forever. RIDICULOSNESS is all this book is.
yep! 5 stars for a novella!! I've read some of the reviews, some loved it and some disliked it, well obviously, i loved it!!
After reading the synopsis, I was like, same ol same ol', I mean, there's nothing unique about it, so why read it? Because he's a friggin' billionaire! unique or not, I totally dig alpha male billionaires!! And I wanted to give the author a try, this is the first time that I'll be reading a novel from her. Miss Juliette recommended this series, and I was like, why not try it? And, damn! It was so worth it!! Probably the only downside is that it's a novella, it was released part by part and as of now, book 2 isn't out til August so if you don't want to wait then better not start.
Okay! back to the review! Holy shit!!! it's the hottest thing ever!!! I'm not gonna say much about what happened but, holy hell! it was totally hot! The writing style is just that good! I could totally feel myself getting all hot and bothered by the scene I was reading!
I enjoyed much about this book, loved Lila and Alexander and how much their childhood shaped their adult lives. I loved watching them share their fears and past horror that they had never been able to fully share with anyone before.
SPOILER ALERT Several parts of the book were uncomfortable for me to read and witness. I had a difficult time understanding how someone like Lila, so innocent and traumatized about sex would allow the scene at the card table to play out. It seemed way out of character for Lila to go that far, and I was shocked (disappointed) that Alexander allowed his friends to see and touch what he claimed was "his" without killing one of them. At that point I lost much respect for him. He was to be her protector and her safe harbor and yet he allowed her to be violated. The second scene was the two women in Paris with the whole "massage" scenario. Again, I thought it seemed out of place given the relationship they had built, and when she would question him and look for his reaction, he continued to encourage her to participate. Again, I did not like that they had allowed others into their world, and that both seemed to be perfectly fine with doing so.
I read entire book last evening and this morning these passages are still bothering me, I want to rewrite them and make Alexander into the hero that would protect her from anyone touching her and invading the love they have for each other, that is why I rated the book with 4 stars instead of 5. I received a complimentary copy of this book prior publication. All opinions are my own.

This review is for the complete series of Billionaire.
Explosive, raw, lustful, erotic and emotional are but a few words that come to mind when reviewing this book. The combination of Lila Carmichael and Alexander Wolfe is highly combustible from the moment he begins to interview her for the job of his assistant.
This is erotica with a great plot line. These two characters literally cannot keep their hands from each other. Some of the scenes are so hot you will think your house is on fire.
They both appear to be as far apart in the social class as is possible. Yet, when they start sharing their secrets, they find they are more alike than they originally thought. They both come from disrupted childhoods where abuse, fear, hunger and finally escape is a reality. They each worked hard to remake their lives and build a future they would be proud of. They are kindred spirits, communicating through their bodies and building a connection that goes deeper than their lust for each other.
Definitely recommended... look for my review of Honey Girl the sequel to this story. This story just gets better and better. The sex is still hot, but the plot line just blossoms into a more gripping story yet.
None of my job interviews ever went like this! The story is as common as they come, pun intended. But damn the author got the eroticism dead on. It just had me melting. Part 2 did, also. But these lust stories are hard to sustain once the couple gets down to everyday living. At least BDSM elevates sex to an art form. If it's plain vanilla, then there's not much the writing can do to keep the sex exciting. Not sure if I'll read beyond Part 2.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Finally a short story that does it for me. Lets me love the characters as well as the story. Pretty damn awesome I will be purchasing the rest of the story because I think it will be worth it! I will let you all know once I read Billionaire #2.
Wow! What else can I say. Reading this was pure poetry! Yeah the pace could have been slower but never have I had a smoother reading. At no point did I feel like I had to stop and re-read. So hats off to Ms. Jones for her brilliant writing. In reference to the actual plot-line, I really wish that it wasn't so short. I'm getting heartily sick of this trend that seems to be going around with authors splitting up a story when there's really no need to. The chemistry though was very hot (although as mentioned by some other reviewers the no contraception/protection clause is somewhat worrying in this day and age to say the least!) and I also liked the in-depth description of the characters and their thoughts. I will still continue to read the full series but in future I just wish other reads could be combined as one.
WOW! What a job interview. Lila had studied hard, and just graduated from Preston. She goes on her first job interview, not expecting to get it. She is applying to be an assistant. She is expecting someone much older. When she meets Alexander, the owner of the company, all she can do is try not to stare at his beautiful body! She has never felt desire for another person as strong as she desires alexander. This is a very short book. It really does not have much of a plot. It’s very erotic, and steamy. In the story its Alexander’s Birthday, and I bet that this job interview made his birthday perfect. An interview that many dream about, but very few people get to experience.
I'm giving it only 4 stars, because it was a really short book.
I enjoyed this book first one from this author and Alexander and Lila were just enough steaminess to keep you reading on... Lord who wouldn't fall in love with a man like Alexander he is every girls dream guy , buy he takes Lila right off her feet . Going for a job interview Lila doesn't expect to see the gorgeous Alexander when he open the door to his office and he isn't expecting her neither so there both speechless . By the time the job interview is over Alexander is asking her to join him in a drink for his birthday and before long the drink has turned into a kiss that he lets her know is not part of her job now that she has taken the job as his assistant. Really good book I honestly enjoyed it
Lila, new Princeton grad and virgin, comes to Skyscraper publishing for a job interview she is under qualified for. She is instantly attracted to Alexander, the owner. He finds her sexy and offers her the assistant job. They proceed to have unprotected sex on his desk. This is an unbelievable set up, but the seduction was well done. Alexander is stunned that Lila is a virgin, so he has sex with her a few more times because her vagina is just that magical and he couldn't help himself. A lot of emphasis was placed on how young and perfect Lila was. Not sure I want to read rest of story.
This was a highly erotic read from the beginning to the end.
Mr. Alexander Wolfe the owner and CEO of Skyscraper is looking for a new assistant. Lila Carmichael is fresh out of college and needing a job. When she walks in for this interview sparks fly between the two.
Alexander and Lila become instant lovers. He becomes a bit controlling towards her almost scaring her away.
There wasn't much of a story other than their constant love making.
I was gifted this book for and honest review! This book was super steamy! When Lila went on an interview to be executive assistant to Alexander, she had no ideal how her life was about to change! I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the development of the characters and the story! This book is overflowing with sex. If you don't like smut with your romance then you might not want this one. Now all my SMUT Lovers.....grab this book!
This book was good once I got past all of the sex scenes. Yes, I know it is an Erotic book but I kind of got bored reading page after page about sex. I would have like to have read a little more into the story. I think it would have a been a really good book if there was more to the story and a little less sexual descriptions.
Um, WOW!!!!!! So I just happened upon this series and was drawn in by the cover. It was and wasnt what I was expecting and I LOVE IT!!! HOT HOT read plus an interesting story. I just realized I only rated on installment so I have currently read up to book 5. LOVE this series and cant wait to read more!!
feels something like sara fawkes 's Castaway series.
I find that this first book not smooth as it jumps from Lila going for an interview and straight into intimacy. not the sexual type of intimacy but rather of lover that trust each other. feels like there is a missing step.
good thing is that it's written in point of view of the hero and heroine.
Very short. First off you have a 22 year old virgin Lila who goes for an interview and the whole time she's thinking sexual thoughts about the billionaire CEO. There isn't much talk between the two. And they they go at it several times with no protection. WTF!! Anyways going to read the next book to see if it's any better but so far I would not recommend it to anyone.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Left me wanting More!!! Hotly Erotic, Steamy and all the other adjectives. Lila, an innocent that wants more, and Alexander the billionaire that will give her it and just what she needs. It starts out with the most erotic interview for the job of his assistant. It becomes more. It just gets better as part one goes on! Will definitely get the box set now!!
This little intro to Lila Carmichael is just a little shy on a real plot line but it gives you a little more than some of the others super shorts for parts series. Things intensify pretty swiftly.
Writing interesting and the build is there for the next part.
