The Baltimore Boys #4
The Secret Billionaire
Moving cities to protect my safety was my choice.
Falling for the billionaire who owned half the city was fate.
Baltimore was the fresh start I needed and the minute I arrived everything fell into place. An amazing apartment, a fantastic job, an instant best friend, and a tall, broad, gorgeous man who was very skilled with his hands.
Eddie is the maintenance man at my new apartment building and he promised me the world and showed me how a real man takes care of his woman. As a nurse at Baltimore’s busiest hospital, I was used to taking care of everyone else. Eddie made it his mission to take care of me.
But like everything in my life, good things never last long and when tragedy strikes, I find out Eddie isn’t who he said he is. We are complete opposites. Edward Rothschild is a billionaire with a striking presence and commanding aura, and has everything money could buy. I have pink hair and tattoos and am struggling to even buy food.
Eddie refuses to allow our differences get in the way, but he isn't the only one keeping secrets. And the thing about secrets is they always come out.
And mine has the potential to destroy us.

It’s a meet cute introduction for the youngest Rothschild brother and last man left standing, Edward who moonlights as Eddie the handyman in one of the apartment buildings he owns. It’s in this persona that he meets Katie aka Pinky, one of his tenants when a dripping tap explodes, and she answers the door looking like a contestant in a wet teeshirt contest. Katie, a nurse is tattooed and pink haired – hence the nickname - feels an instant connection with him which is reciprocated. The chemistry between them sizzles and though Pinky wasn’t looking for any kind of romance the more time they spend together the more they fall in love. Together they made the perfect couple or at least Pinky and Eddie did but what happens when she finds out who he really is.
The Secret Billionaire was a sweet romance with a generous helping of angst. Pinky has had a traumatic and brutal upbringing, most of it in foster care after being abandoned at birth. She came to a new city in an attempt to escape her past, but it has followed her to Baltimore and the last thing she wanted was to involve Eddie who has issues of his own with the scheming witch aka his mother who is determined her last single son will fall into line and marry as befits the Rothschild name. With secrets about to be unveiled about their parents this was a fantastic addition to the Baltimore Boys series.

I was excited to continue with Eddie’s book. This was an interesting one. While I didn’t like it as much as the other three books, this had its moments and was a pretty good story. One of the things I didn’t care for in this book was the use of Katie’s nickname Eddie gave her, which was Pinky. I get it was because he loved her hair and that drew him to her on first glance but to use it throughout the book kind of gave this a little bit of cheese I don’t think this book needed. It’s cute for a term of endearment between the two of them, but to call her that in public and to also get his brothers to call her that just ruined the intimacy of it. When there’s an emotional moment between them when he gets worried about her and finds her, he calls her that out of gratefulness that she’s ok and I think for a serious moment like that, Pinky just didn’t fit for the situation. When he calls her name out of exasperation because he’s scared and thinks he lost her, that also wasn’t a good situation to say it in. I mean, am I the asshole or is this like a normal thing? I think what I also didn’t like about it was the fact that Eddie does hide his identity from Katie most of the duration of this book. I didn’t like the lying and fact that he kept such a big part of his life hidden from her. I get he was trying to feel her out before the big reveal due to his reputation and worry about women only wanting him for his name and money but to let it go on as long as it did, well that didn’t sit well with me. He should have told her much sooner. On the other end of the stick, Katie didn’t really give him the chance to tell her. Anytime he got the guts to do it, and tried to, she would stop the confession from happening by getting him thinking about sex and their time in the moment. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I’m not going to pin this all on Eddie. I just think in general, it shouldn’t have dragged on. Katie gets hurt from finding out his real identity at a stressful point in the book and the timing was just off with everything. It should have been revealed in a quiet and personal moment between Katie and him. In fact, it was what drives the wedge between Katie and Eddie. The surprising thing about this is the fact that while Eddie hides a big part of himself most of the story, the moment Katie finds out about him and his brothers the book was barely over half way finished so I knew more would be coming. It got me questioning what else this book would entail and I knew it would be a lot when there is a small separation between the hero and heroine when the book is a little after 50% completed. Normally, this is the point when the hero and heroine have their first night together and it sets the stage for feelings coming to light. In this book, it marks their first misunderstanding. From there, you witness Eddie profusely try to win her back and the way he ends up doing it didn’t require a grand gesture. This was a nice change, as most of these books use a grand gesture to get the heroine back. All it took in this story was some encouragement from the girls in the other books and lots of explaining. From there, a scary situation happens to Katie, and Eddie’s family is thrown into her baggage and past that requires the whole family to come together and deal with those ramifications. This goes on for a little while, and Katie is thrown into the family dynamics and she soon realizes they come through for each other and can use their resources and status to take care of things and use them for good. Once this pulls through, things seemingly go back to normal, Katie accepts him for the billionaire he is and Eddie is ecstatic. In his mind, now he can treat her like a princess, buying her things, taking her to his house and filling her in on all his family has and can offer for her out of the kindness of his heart and all the love. There is just one issue that the book overlooks, Eddie’s mother. If you’ve read the books up to this point, you know their mother is a sore spot and always a wrench in the boys’ chances of happily ever after. She tends to ruin it and put people’s lives at risk. By now I’m thinking she’ll definitely have a hand in whatever traumatic experience Katie will go through, aside from the scary situation she experiences before it gets taken care of. I felt this while I was reading all this and especially since she didn’t have anything to do with Tennyson and Willow’s trauma in the last book. I knew she wasn’t done, so imagine my surprise when she doesn’t do anything to Katie and it ends up being something else. I was so happy this book went in that direction and even though it was a nice surprise, it wasn’t enough to give this book a 5. The nickname debacle and the hidden identity just didn’t do it for me. I like hidden identities if the hero or heroine lets it go for a short period of time, but to have it last the first half, maybe a little bit past then was too long. Katie ends up getting hurt and feeling played. It works for a plot, but long term and dragging, it didn’t work for me. Overall, the steam, emotion and passion were amazing in the story. Their connection was palpable and surprises get thrown in at the end. I figured this out myself, knowing it would happen and knew a random character showing up would come back and play a part in the story and in continuing the series. It tells me that Samantha wasn’t done with this series yet so she added in a last minute shock that we all knew was coming. I wish she had introduced us to the surprise in this book, but I guess that will get explored in the next story and also touch on this mysterious character that just shows up consistently throughout the book.

The Secret Billionaire is book four of The Baltimore Boys series by Samantha Skye. While this book would work well as a standalone romance, I highly recommend reading the whole series, mostly because it has been wonderful from the start, but also because there is some context that may be missed.
Eddie (aka Edward Rothschild) is the titular secret billionaire. He's the youngest of the four Rothschild brothers and the last singles man of the lot. He runs the property arm of the family's vast business interests. Keeping himself down to earth, Edward enjoys to dressing down and acting as a handyman to one at one of the family owned apartment buildings, much to the amusement of his assistant. This is how Edward meets new tenant, Katie Taylor.
Katie comes from a tragic background in the foster care system, and is in fear of being followed by the man that has been tormenting her for years. She is also a dedicated nurse and volunteers as a cuddler for the premature babies at the same hospital. Despite her fears, she and Eddie develop a deep bond that quickly becomes romance.
The problem is, Eddie needs to reveal to Katie, who he is quickly falling in love with, about his true identity. But he has his own fears as well, because Eddie wants a love like his older brothers have achieved, but is being pressured by his mother who wants to match him with a society bride. In fact, the Rothschild matriarch is the other half of the story, in the previous books she had been revealed to be quite devious and terrible to her sons, and so Eddie is the only son that visits her, albeit infrequently.
Katie quickly becomes the centre of Eddie's universe, and Katie is fighting to not allow Eddie to become the centre of her universe. This is a wonderfully complicated and deep romance. I love how complex these characters are and how well fleshed out they are.
Here I was thinking that this series was ending with book four, but I had seen the groundwork being laid for what I thought would be resolved by the end of this book for Eddie and his brothers. Instead, we are left wide open for book five and have to wait until March 2024 for the next installment! I hate that I have to wait that long!.

This is book four in The Baltimore Boy’s series and it is Eddie and Katie’s story and omg it is definitely a must read. Katie has moved from Philadelphia to Baltimore thanks to meeting Dr Wakeford who could see Katie’s potential and it also gave Katie a chance to get away from her previous life and hopefully start to feel safe so now she lives in a beautiful apartment while working as a nurse at Baltimore Hospital in the cardiology department where she couldn’t wait to start. Eddie and his brothers own many buildings along with this one where he likes to do some maintenance while keeping himself from being exposed as a Rothschild and billionaire as he likes to keep his private life quiet but when one of the apartments has a leaking tap he goes to investigate to see if he can fix it only to be knocked back when a beautiful but soaking wet woman answers the door and he is totally captivated and smitten. Eddie and Katie can’t seem to keep their eyes off each other and are both feeling the effects of their meeting where the electricity and sparks are flying all around them and their chemistry is so explosive but Eddie is keeping a secret and Katie has so much baggage in her life that she can’t get involved in anyone because it is too dangerous so where does that leave them both in the long run. The more time that Eddie and Katie spend together the harder they fall for each other but when Katie’s past comes back to haunt her with a vengeance and then she finds out who Eddie is it throws Katie for a loop and she realised that she can’t be with him because if her secret is revealed it will completely destroy his family’s name and reputation and she can’t do that to him but Eddie is so stubborn and it doesn’t matter how hard Katie pushes him away he will not give up or go anywhere. Katie has had such a difficult life and my heart broke for everything that she had been through and yet she still managed to pull herself up and out of the gutter to make something of herself and Eddie was so sweet, kind, understanding and caring if fact all the brothers were exactly like that which is surprising after everything that they has also gone through because of their nasty and awful mother. Wow this book completely blew me away, had me on the edge of my seat while holding my breath and takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions that will have you in so many tears and then you get the ending that will have you needing the next book and I have a feeling I know who it will be. I definitely recommend this book, series and other books by Samantha Skye who is an amazing author and writer and her books are definitely worth reading.

Eddie is the youngest Rothschild brother. He manages the property portfolio and often will take it upon himself to handle any maintenance work. He is definitely a cinnamon roll as we’ve seen in the other books with him doing his best to take care of others and helping others where he can, even managing different causes. He definitely rises to the occasion when needed and is sensible and observant.
Pinkie/Katie is trying to get a fresh start. We actually saw her in one of the author’s earlier works (loved hearing about Carter & Dr. Wakeford again btw) and here we see her continue working as a nurse, looking out for her patients as well as those who need some cuddles. She is fiercely independent, having to learn to look out for herself, and isn’t afraid to speak her mind or go for what she wants, she does have a vulnerable side to her that makes you want to give her a hug.
These two! Their “meet cute” was definitely explosive due to a faulty water tap, and the tension between them was palpably leaping off of page. From there they have easy banter and you can see that they each feel comfortable to be themselves around each other. They both are withholding information about their past and background though you really see they get along well and play off each other’s energies. They definitely made me giddy from my head to my toes as we see them continue to learn about each other and develop feelings. The conflict that happens definitely twists your insides, showing how much you really want them together.
We also see the return of the Baltimore boys and the wives, who all have our couple’s back in one way or another, and it was great seeing them all come together to support each other. Mrs. Rothschild does continue in her ways to keep up their images, though there is a moment in the story where it hits you in the feels. We also meet new characters like our boy Brian and we definitely are now curious about Lucy.
Overall, this was a fun and exciting read, and I devoured it in one sitting!.

ARC Review of The Secret Billionaire by Samantha Skye
* * * * *
The final Rothschild brother has found himself a woman to pend the rest of his life with, but the family drama is far from over.
Eddie may be a billionaire but he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.
He takes care of what is his, including the building he owns. So when the new tenant moves in a the pipeworks decide to explode, he's more than happy to help out the sexy pink-haired, tattooed beauty in the wet shirt.
Katie happy to settle down here in Baltimore, loving her new apartment and her job as a nurse and volunteer cuddler, plus the perks aren't all the bad either.
Eddie is stunning man, and he treats her well.
The building feels start to show and soon they both find happiness in each other...but is it going to last?
Both of them have secrets.
Katie is running away from a dark past.
Eddie is hiding his identity.
Never has there been a simple romance for the Rothschild boys.
Eddie and his Pinkie are one unique romance. Eddie's struggle with his mother, even when he was the one always going to lunch with her, is starting to become more tiring for him as she has decided a few things need to happen in his life. Katie's love and commitment to children is adorable, and if that volunteer work was in my town, I would take it up in a second!
Then, that drama!
Just wow! Did not prepare for that!
Then there is the shock ending that has you guessing...what happens next for the Rothschild boys?

I was waiting for Edward's book - the 4th Rothschild brother and I knew that I would like his book.
Edward 'Eddie' looks after one of his buildings, and he helps the tenants by being the maintenance man. One evening, he helps a young woman that has just moved in - Katie...his 'Pinky'. He falls for her on the spot, but he can see that she has some shadows in her eyes.
Katie wants to start her life in a new city, but she is still hunted by her past. But she can't stop being attracted to the maintenance guy in her new building. Bit by bit, she starts opening to Eddie seeing that he is different, and maybe he could be the one. But he is hiding a secret that could change her feelings. On the other hand, Pinky suffered through some trauma in the past, and she wasn't ready to trust him yet.
I liked them as a couple. There were quite a lot of difficulties for their love - meaning her past, his mum, him being rich... As soon as they got together, I saw how devoted they were to each other and that their love was getting stronger and stronger every day.
I will not miss mentioning that I loved all the spicy scenes between them 🥵🥵🥵. They were really hot and smuty 🔥🔥🔥.
I thought that this would be the last book of the series, but I can see that we will have one more...and I think I know who the main character will be. We will see for sure in the next book.

I received a digital copy from the author and in return I'm leaving my honest review.
The Secret Billionaire is the the 4th book in The Baltimore Boys series. If you like opposites attract with secrets being kept then this book is for you. There is lots of angst and drama, suspense, wonderful characters minus the Mom, a interesting plot and a sweet HEA. I would love to do the FMCs volunteer work...

He's called to a new tenants apartment and meets the pink haired lady that is drenched in water from a faulty kitchen tap. Eddie is immediately attracted to Katie, who he calls Pinkie.
Katie Taylor has moved from Philly to Baltimore, she is a Nurse on the Cardiac floor and volunteers as a Cuddler in the Neonatal Unit in her spare time. Katie doesn't trust easily but Eddie puts her at ease.
The more time they spend together Eddie knows he should tell her who he really is especially since his Demon of a Mother is trying to force him into marriage. Katie also has a secret and her stalker is threatening blackmail.
When there is a health situation of a family member Eddie's secret is exposed and their differences are revealed. Katie chooses to walk away and when her secret starts to threaten them both Eddie, will stop at nothing to take him out of their lives.

I have read this series from the beginning and I have honestly loved every book! It is so heartwarming to read about the close family ties between the brothers and their wives. They stick together in between thick and thin. There is no shortage of drama that they work through together as a family unit.
I really loved both the main characters in this book. Eddie and Pinkie are both genuine and down to earth people. They are so good for each other. Eddie is a saint for helping Pinkie through all of her past trauma. What a nice guy! I enjoy how Samantha gives us the romance but all those steamy scenes too. ❤️
I thought this was going to be the last book. I am very excited because there looks like there will be 2 more coming. YES!! I am so invested in this family that I just want to keep reading more.

Katie and Eddie hit it off right away, and eager to make a new start, Katie decides to go all in with Eddie.

After being raised in the foster system and being taken advantage of by a foster brother she thought cared about her, Katie has trust issues. She has tried to make a life for herself, but her past keeps coming back and ruining everything she's tried to accomplish. Unable to afford housing for herself while starting a new job, a work colleague loans her the use of a luxury apartment. There she meets Eddie, the maintenance man. Eddie is actually one of THE Rothchild billionaires. But as he also has trust issues, he likes that Katie accepts him for himself and not his money. The angst builds when less than endearing characters try to drive them apart and destroy their sweet romance. This fantastic story also brings to light the unfortunate need for hospital cuddle programs and the disconsolateness often faced by foster children.

The Secret Billionaire is the story of Eddie and Katie, book four of The Baltimore Boys series. Another great story following the Rothschild family.
Eddie may be a billionaire but he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty and looks after the property portfolio of the family. Katie is a nurse and is looking for a fresh start after a tough childhood and nutty foster brother.
They meet when Eddie fixes her sink, he does not disclose who he really is and she is not happy when she finds out the truth.
The crazy mum is back and back to her tricks, unfortunately she doesn’t have a happy ending.
Book 5 will be interesting and will reveal the new sibling. (I think I already know).

The Secret Billionaire was such a great story! Eddie was just trying to feel like a normal guy by doing the maintenance for the building he owns. Once Pinkie moved in, the sparks were instantaneous! Pinkie is trying to find her place in the world while trying to protect herself. Eddie was the perfect hero for Pinkie.
I must safe, this book just kept the plot twists coming and coming. Every time I thought I had something figured out, BAM! Samantha Skye threw a right hook with another surprise. The ending was the most unexpected storm or tragedy and healing. My jaw was on the floor and still has yet to close. Absolutely amazing!

Katie has moved to a different city to get away from her foster brother who is blackmailing her. Eddie seems to be the apartment handyman but in fact he is the owner and a billionaire. They connect with sparks flying and soon have a tight relationship - except for the hidden backgrounds of both of them. Can they make it work? When will the truths come out? Will her foster brother find her? Will Eddie stand up for her or leave? Loved the characters, their chemistry, personalities and entertaining situations. The storyline has all the feels and keeps you on the edge wondering what will happen next. Great ending that brings it all together.

Love these Baltimore Brothers!!
Katie grew up in the foster system. An ex-foster brother stalks her for blackmail money. A mentor has given her a letter of recommendation and an apartment to move to Baltimore and work as a cardiac nurse.
Edward Rothschild is one of four billionaire brothers. He owns the building Katie is living in, but works on the weekends as maintenance man “Eddie”. He and Katie hit it off. Katie has never really had anyone be “nice” to her, and Eddie is enjoying the attention of someone who has no idea who he or his family are.
Love this relationship, but each’s history ultimately interferes. Entertaining, delightful, and bits of danger and intrigue. A terrific read.

Excellent book.
Well done Samantha Skye. It’s a page turner. I absolutely love this book. It’s a fourth book in the Rothschild family series and each of the books is unique and captivating. The Pinkie and Eddie characters are strong, loyal and loving. The book has different twists and turns , suspense, sizzling hot love scenes and very difficult situations that needs to be dealt with. Will the love prevail?
I definitely recommend this book to all romance readers.
I’m waiting for the next book in the series.

Good story! Katie was destined to make something of herself and because she was a good person, she spread the nice around s that when she needed help, people were there for her, helping her to get to Baltimore and start over. Eddie comes from wealth and when he meets Katie, in an incognito fashion, he is immediately smitten. All the things that happen to them, and there are MANY, only serve to bring them closer. Lots of action, lots of steam, lots of angst and lots of family interaction-some good, some bad. A satisfying read!.

This is the final brother book about Eddie & pinkie I just love these two they are so cute & of course steamy together. Katie has been through a lot in her life never having family to love surviving an horrific ordeal when she was younger she is amazing, there is a little tension in the book as Eddie doesn't fully admit who he is but I can understand his reasons for just enjoying being himself, of course the wicked mother is in here as well, I liked the twist and have my theory on who that may be can’t wait for the next book to see if I’m right. Samantha has knocked it out of the park once again.

Eddie's habit of "helping out" in the building he owns leads to his meeting with Katie. A young woman running from something in her past that he is instantly attracted to. Falling for Pinkie he initially kept his identity to himself wanting to be liked for himself. But then the secret by ommission became too difficult to admit.
The sparks between these two were instantaneous and hot but Pinkie's past and Eddie's evil mother threaten to ruin what they've built.
A fantastic heartwarming romance between two likeable individuals who both have issues to overcome.

This is a great opposites attract titled The Baltimore Boys Book 4 out of 6 books in the series. This story follows Pinkie AKA Katie and Eddie who is the youngest Rothschild brother. Eddie manages the property part and sometimes deals with the maintenance side of things at the same time. He is kind and a natural protector. Pinkie is a nurse who wants a new start in life. Although fiercely independent, she’s also sweet, caring and always taking care of her patient’s emotional needs. You can not help but root for this couple. I loved the story and which there was more.

Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 rounded up
Spice 🌶️ 🌶️🌶️
Main tropes :
-Secret billionaire
-Nurse FMC
-Blackmail
I would have rated it higher if there wouldn’t have been the halfway point relationship drama breakup.
I get that Katie was upset with Eddie for the lying but her reaction is a bit over the top.
I can totally understand why a billionaire lies about his wealth to see if the person could develop genuine feelings. Yeah he may have waited a bit to long but come on. Communication is key here people.
Good riddance mother dearest.
Of course we all know that Lucy is the secret love child of the doctor and their mom.

This book had a bit of everything in it for what we thought would be the last book of this series. But, now I wonder if we are getting a surprise book to come.
As our couple, the youngest of the brothers and a nurse from the local hospital, Katie and Eddie have a lot to contend with. Not only a crazy mother, but a deadly past that comes back bringing trouble.
I loved getting to know this family, and hoping a surprise come soon.

Each time I fall in love with a brother, the next one takes my heart. I LOVE Eddie. And Eddie with Pinkie….yes, all day yes. Those two are absolutely perfect together.
My heart broke for Katie. The way Samantha is able to connect the reader with the characters so emotionally is amazing.
While I wanted the boys mom to get her comeuppance, that’s not exactly what I envisioned. I can appreciate each of the guys responses though.
And now….more to come! YES!!!!.

The Baltimore Boys is highly recommended. This is the fourth book and here too you will be glued to the pages. We are taken into the lives of Eddie and Pinkie, it is romantic, loving, tension, bumps and twists that sometimes you did not see coming. Great chemistry and attraction and don't forget the steamy and sexy scenes between them to die for. Will they overcome everything they encounter or have to deal with to get their hea? Highly recommended to read!
