The Berutelli Escape #2
The Billionaire's Secretive Enchantress
At eighteen, Sierra Berutelli watched in disappointment as the man of her dreams walked into her father’s office. Despite his striking good looks, she knew that if he was connected to her father, he couldn’t be the man for her. But then that disappointment changed to horror when she realized that her father had tried to kill the dashing stranger.
Rushing the battered man to the hospital, she did everything in her power to save him. She was relieved that he wasn’t working with father, but she knew she could never have a future with the handsome stranger if he knew she was related to Joe Berutelli.
Now, six years later, after changing her last name and breaking off all ties with her father and his friends, Sierra came face to face with the man. He looked even more amazing, but she had to stay away from him. He was dangerous and she knew he would hate her if he ever found out she was the daughter of the man who almost killed him.
Drake Harrison couldn’t believe how perfect Sierra was. After searching so many years for the woman who had been by his side in the hospital, trying to discover her identity, he was ready to give up that dream girl because the real Sierra was so much more enticing, his ideal match. He didn’t understand how she could be warm, passionate, and yielding to his embrace one moment, then pulling back in fear the next. But he was determined to discover all of Sierra’s secrets.

"The Billionaire's Secretive Enchantress" is the story of Sierra and Drake.
In the last book, we saw how 18 year old Sierra rescued a dying stranger Drake from her mafia father, saving his life and paying all his expenses. She then disappears, and this book then begins 6 years later..
Now having a different last name, Sierra lives a quiet independent life, working in an architectural firm. As she gets a new boss, she finds herself face to face with Drake, and realizes that her attraction to him hasn't abated even a little.
Drake finds himself instantly smitten by his new employee, who is perfect for him in every way. But though he sees his feelings being reciprocated, she does keep pushing him away every time he approaches her.
Can he finally uncover her secrets and make her his?
Very sweet, low angst romance with likable leads, innocent heroine, caring hero, passionate lovemaking, non dramatic secrets revealing and a HEA.
Really, really, enjoyed it!
Safe
4.5/5

A great read.
Years ago a young Sierra saved Drake's life after her mafia father had him beat and left for dead. She worried about him and kept a virgil by his bedside, never letting anyone know who she was. After Drake awakes he tries searching for her but no luck. He keeps her in his thoughts hoping one day to find her.
As luck would have in walks Drake.... right into Sierra's life as her new sexy boss. Still hopelessly attracted to him she worries he will find out who she really is and hate her. Drake can't believe his luck in finding the perfect sexy funny lady in Sierra and goes all charming for her. He works to overcome her fears without knowing what they are....and she can't resist him.
A very romantic sweet read. I loved the overall romantic notion that they never forgot each other and were meant to find each other again....fate/kismet!

A decent book
This is the 2nd book in the series and it was okay. The plot was weak, the h saw the H 6 years ago at a party at her father’s house. The H was badly beaten and was left for dead. The h got him help and paid for his medical bills. They meet again when he bought her company. He didn’t know who she was and she felt guilty over her father’s actions. The story dragged at times. Epilogue was ok.

Ok read
A little slow at the beginning then long drawn out middle with all the details of every little thing in a room or what a person wears, then a sweet ending.

This is a great love story. It is also a story of how the heroine made her own life, from her own strength and intelligence and kindness, rather than be a victim of a horrible childhood. The heroine was the daughter of a mob boss. When she was eighteen, she saw something awful her father did to a stranger and took action to save his life. Then she left her father's home and took control of her life, changed her name, and becoming an architect.
The man she saved is the hero. He has vague memories of the beautiful young woman who saved him, but can't find her. He followed the career of a very talented architect, the heroine, and bought the company she was working for to get her on his team. When they meet, there is an immediate attraction. Sierra knows he is the man her father almost had killed, and she thinks he will hate her for it. She has no idea he remembers her saving him.
As they get to know one another, and become closer, she finally gets to the point she has to tell him her history. There is a very romantic ending.

It was a decent conclusion to the series, although I felt the timeline was really effed up compared to the first novel.

The author has mapped a very nice love story. Drake and Sierra are strong characters , they both know what they want in life.

Great idea for the plot but the story was very short and focused more on attraction than building a story. This book could have been a lot better with more story and character development.

I love Elizabeth Lennox books sometimes I wish they where a bit longer other times when all I fancy is a quick read it's enough but at all times I enjoy the book.
