Chord's Crossing
The Billionaire's Happily Ever After
A runaway bride. Her billionaire hero.
Grace
This runaway bride doesn’t think she’s worthy of anyone’s love, but a protective, retired NFL star is determined to give her the future she deserves.
Grace desperately needs to flee her nightmare nuptials. She quickly realizes she’s in over her head when the one man who can save her is the one man who could tempt even an angel to be bad.
Ty
When the angel of his dreams needs him to be the hero, the devil on his shoulder tells him he should keep her and make her his own.
Ty’s never had a reason to believe in romance, much less love at first sight, so no one was more surprised than him when a bundle of curves lands in his lap, making him believe happily ever afters exist.
Both on the field and in the boardroom, Ty’s always been a winner. This time, the stakes are high, but the only trophy he wants to win is Grace’s heart.
This sexy, growly hero and his sweet obsession is an instalove, stand-alone romance with guaranteed HEA.

I loved The Billionaire’s Happily Ever After. It is a sweet love story with relatable characters. The author caught my attention from the beginning, and I didn’t want the story to end. Ty is an ex-NFL player. This billionaire hero is also a very protective alpha male. Grace is a feisty and independent runaway bride. The chemistry between Ty and Grace is red-hot. The Billionaire’s Happily Ever After is a unique story with interesting characters and is well written. If you like over-the-top, insta-love, and a hero that falls first, then this is the story for you.

I enjoyed this story. Ty and Grace’s story was so cute. It is an insta-love story. They see each other at an elevator and really meet each other when she hi-jacks his car. That was a funny moment these two will remember forever. This had a little drama and I liked how shy introverted Grace stood up for herself. I really liked Ash and Chord. I can’t wait for their stories. If you want a sweet, cute, steamy rom-com, check this one out.

Runaway Bride and her QB
This is my first book by this author. I truly enjoyed this story. It was LOL funny, especially the inner monologues. The love scenes were a little tamer than I prefer, but that’s okay. My only issue is the typos, of which there were quite a few, sometimes requiring me to read multiple times to figure out what the author was trying to say. I hope Abbie and Cord are next!

A debut novel that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's well written with an excellent storyline and likable characters. I liked that it was an insta love, billionaire hero, runaway bride, and age gap romance. It kept my interest too.

Definitely a ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 read for me!!!
This was a short, sweet & steamy story. I really enjoyed the characters, they constantly had me smiling & giggling throughout the book. Ty is definitely an overly protective alpha male who just wants to make Grace his.
I do think that the book could have used another edit as there are some spelling mistakes & some sentence structures needing some work in my opinion.
However, that didn't take away from how much I really enjoyed reading this book & I can't wait to read the next one!!!
Some of the tropes/themes in the book are:
*Age gap
*Instalove
*Protective Alpha
*Billionaire
I was fortunate to receive an advanced copy of this book & this is my honest opinion.

a short story, but gets the point across well
A story about instant attraction, peppered with sex, sass and humour, a fun read that leaves you wanting to know more about these characters, and their friends!

No
I don't think this has ever happened to me before:
At 27% of the book, it repeated pages and pages of dialog. Lazy editing! Copy and paste mix-up?
Terrible.

This is a fantastic debut from this author, and she is certainly a name to look out for in the future.
This is Ty and Grace’s story. Grace is an insecure runaway bride, and Ty is a growly, retired NFL star, and billionaire.
This is a well written story which I easy to read, with humor, witty banter, emotions, romance, engaging and realistic characters, friendships, undeniable chemistry, and instant love, which leads to an entertaining and steamy addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend.

Field Goal!
Pun intended as Ty Baron is a retired NFL QB with a business. What sells this story are the character internal monologues. Their characters alone are amusing and entertaining. Possessive alpha male and insecure naive female. The chemistry alone is explosive plus toss in some drama. Plus I can see a book two with Grace’s best friend Abbie and even Ty’s best friend Chord. It seems their story would be an intriguing read as well. Great job with your debut Sammie! I loved reading this.
