This was not a bad quick read. Boston is a very rich man. He makes Julianna an offer she can not refuse. Julianna has an older brother who was in an accident and now needs a lot of medical attention that she can not afford by just being a waitress. Boston tells Julianna that her brother will get the best medical attention money can buy but in return she gives him her body.

Boston is 10 years older than Julianna. Boston comes off as a jerk. Boston is not kind. He is very honest that he is just using her, but the author did a great job giving me a glimpse that there may be more to Boston and why he is the way he is. This book ends in a cliffy. I liked the story, but not sure if I will read book 2 yet. The cliffy I am worried will just drag out Boston's mostly nasty attitude to Julianna. Plus, I did not hate the characters, but I did not love them enough to care what would happen to them.

So yet another romance/erotica read and I just realized it's Feb so it's so on point I can't tell ya. So this first part of the story tells us the story of how a billionaire Boston leverages a normal poor girl into having a relationship so it goes down as well as you can guess. Of course, people are complex each with their own issues and that's true here as well but yet it's erotica so your main characters have to be the absolute specimen girl with a cute face and big boobs and a guy with super glam and manly looks and a big penis yeah sure. Another 3.5 and I will have to hunt for the 2nd and 3rd parts of the story, so let's move on to another one and let's keep on reading.

People who don't read generally ask me my reasons for reading. Simply put, I absolutely love reading, so I have made it my motto to Forever Keep on Reading. I love reading everything except for Self Help books, even occasionally. I read almost all the genres but YA, Fantasy, and Biographies are the most read. My favorite series is Harry Potter, but then there are many more books I adore. I have bookcases filled with books that are waiting to be read so I can't stay and spend more time on this review, so remember I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

Leverage: Pt 1 (Billionaire romance) Alexx Andria has done it again. A book filled with hot sex and a great storyline to boot. Boston Kincaid is a man you will love to hate, but there is something more to his story. Julianna Holly is a woman who you will feel sorry for at first, but the sex between her and Boston almost melted my phone. And what a cliffhanger!! This is book 1 in a 3 book series. If you loved the Buchanan men, you will love this one too. I received an arc of this book for an honest review and I honestly loved it. You need to read it. I can't wait for book 2, geez louise.

Writing is horrendous. Just awful. Plot nearly as bad. It’s like Keystone Cops do 50 Shades without the whips and canes.

And just for the record...they don’t do in vitro DNA tests at 6 weeks now and they weren’t doing them in 2013 when the book was written either.

ALEXX ANDRIA HAS YET STARTED ANOTHER AMAZING SERIES!!! BOSTON HAS TO HAVE JULIANA, AT ANY PRICE. HER BROTHER HAS BEEN WASTING AWAY AT A CARE FACILITY BECAUSE OF A SKI ACCIDENT, BOSTON CAN SEND HIM TO A STATE OF THE ART PLACE, IF JULIANA IS WILLING TO SACRIFICE HER SELF AND HER PURITY TO HIM. I LOVE BOSTON...HE IS THE TYPICAL SPOILED RICH GUY WHO GETS WHAT HE WANTS NO MATTER THE COST TO OTHERS....BUT AS YOU READ...YOU GET A BETTER FEEL FOR HIM AND SEE HES NOT AS HARD AS HE SEEMS, EXCEPT IN THE BEDROOM, HAHA. JULIANA HAS TO DECUDE IF SHE CAN GO THROUGH WITH THIS, SHES SACRIFICING EVERYTHING TO HELP HER BROTHER, AND EVENTUALLY GO BACK TO SCHOOL, AS SHE HAD TO DROP OUT TO PAY FOR HER BROTHERS CARE. I CANT WAIT FOR THE 2ND INSTALLMENT TO THIS SERIES!!!! LOVE LOVE IT!! *FOR ANY READERS OF MISS ANDRIA'S THE BILLIONAIRE BROTHERS, YOU WILL GET A GIGGLE FROM A REFERENCE TO THE BROTHERS*

I appreciate books that shows resistance at the beginning then turn into something they both want. It was short, but to the point. It had its hot moments, but not over the top. The book also left you hanging to hopefully find out what happens in part two.

I would say it's a good read.

Why me and not a socialite

Julianna brought to a place and to someone she didn't even know. But Boston knew he want her by any means. First he just had to convince her and entice her. But why and how did she have this hold on his ice cold heart

[Tianna✸loves books✸ · Rating 1 out of 5]

No...everything is too rushed
And I hate when the H forces the h for oral sex when they haven't even had real sex...this is a major turnoff for me...

Cool story bro

[AlphaMale · Rating 2 out of 5]

well written very short story , 2 stars because the author could have packed everything in 1 book . OTT and ridiculous but i loved it , a good palate cleanser

[The Glassed And The Furious · Rating 1 out of 5]

Stockholm syndrom much? This story is not sexy at all, it's highly disturbing. Boston is your typical arrogant billionaire but the main difference to all the other stories of this genre is that Julianna is NOT into him. The first time she ever meets him he tells her to become his sex slave and her brother will get the best medical treatment. That isn't just blackmail, he simply rapes her at the beginning. The dialogues between them felt foreced and not at all believable. After having agreed to his advances she studies his paintings and ask him about his family only to then go back to loathe him. Julianna is inconsistent and a weak character and nothing is likeable about her.
I'm glad this was for free on amazon, I would have regretted paying for this.

I may or may not post spoilers, but this is a honest review.

I have to say this was a very hot story, a tad too short but very well written. It was super easy to dislike the main man. I hated him more then the lead lady does. So that means this was a very good book.

But it is way too short and ends in a cliff hanger which then forces you to purchase yet another book to finish the story. I hate these "chapter" books. Granted this one is free on most sites, but be aware if you purchase this book you should also go ahead and buy the rest of the set.

It does start ads and teasers at about 93% for her other works. Now I found this author from a box set I bought and she has not disappointed with this second book of hers I have read!

[Amy Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful story about a Billionaire who thinks because he is rich he can have whatever he wants no matter at what cost. Boston is a great character even though he is overbearing and arrogant and I have already fallen in love with him with his take charge attitude. Julianna, the sweet very innocent girl who Boston has set his sights on, She is such a wonderful, kind hearted girl, however when push comes to show she gives as good as she gets with her quirky attitude. I also like the fact that the book mentioned the Buchannan's. Looking forward to the next in the series! If you loved The Buchannan's you will so love this story!!!! Way to go Alexx you never disappoint!!!!!!

Sometimes all I need is patience

So, I almost gave up on this story before the introduction was finished. It started like any typical billionaire romance with a poor damsel in distress. Nothing original so I was put off. Too many authors take this approach and it seems like plagiarism at its finest.

But I kept going (not sure why...bored I guess).

And then...

The story took off. I wish it was longer and now I'm off to purchase the series because I NEED more. Funny thing is I almost gave up because of the horrible intro. Sometimes you have to keep going to see the outcome. Loved it and would definitely recommend.

Just finished reading Part 2 and need to figure out how to read Part 1. This is a compelling story, and the heroine is conflicted. Should she keep the baby, should she leave Boston because he's so controlling, but what will happen to her brother? She runs away, he follows her. He's conflicted too, and needs to learn to trust, not just lust after Juliana. There are some minor proofreading things to correct, but I'm ready to read Part 3 - please!

Obsessed

I read this book a few years ago and decided to have a re-read of the series. I loved the intensity of Boston, his need for julianna and the lengths he will go to get the woman at the centre of his obsession. Julianna, a sweet caring girl, is caught in a trap by this arrogant billionaire. Be his plaything and save her brother's life. It's cruel, but what choice does she have.

[Selena Lang · Rating 2 out of 5]

I had a hard time with believing they fell in love. He was an asshat and she just took it. There were no redeeming qualities really pointed out during their "falling in love" stage. I just could not figure out WHY she would fall in love. way too short on emotions, spending time together etc. No real way to see they even had much of a relationship other than sex.

[Stephany · Rating 4 out of 5]

I got this for free on amazon and thought what the hell it's free. Well I really liked it. I love the story and the crazy, sexy relationship between the two characters. I definately want the next book.

Love to find a new author this way!!!

[Diamond Drake]

There were things that I found disturbing about this book but what I realized is that the-- billionaire falling in lust with a goofy, clumsy virgin--storyline just isn't for me. So for that reason, I think it would be unfair to give a rating when the biggest issues I had with this book are my own.

Good story. Nice introduction to a new series.

[100sweet · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a story about a guy who is completely obsessed with a woman. He blackmails her into a relationship with him. It was a good read and I liked the hints of vulnerability we see from the H.

[Michelle Kemp · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second time i am reading this and i still love the story. Now on to the second book of the series 5 Stars

[Feliz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Typical billionaire story but I loved them all. Boston does what they all do and uses his money with Julianna.
Quick read. The story moves in a good pace. It steamy and not dark.
