The Billionaire's Song

by Ava Bailey

Is a second chance even possible after ten years apart?
I only hoped I’d bump into Declan Wolfe, the long-lost love of my life, at our high school reunion.
My heart stopped when he held me in his arms, burning with desire and familiarity.
But we’ve both moved on. Too much has changed—including the fact that he happens to be the lead singer of Ravenheart.
Declan consumes my thoughts. I jump at the chance for distraction when the catering job of a lifetime falls into my lap. I was not expecting to see Declan Wolfe at the same benefit—Ravenheart’s benefit.
Not to mention, I’ve caught the attention of gorgeous rockstar Ezra Snow.
Now I’m stuck with both of them for three days when all I want is to stay away from my ex… and his secrets.
Declan left me behind once, and if I let myself fall for him again—especially with his lyrics haunting me—he won’t just break my heart…
He’ll shatter it.

Sienna and Declan were college sweethearts but he wanted to travel, she wanted to stay at home. The broke up.
Ten years later they both still are deeply in love with each other. He wants to try again. She's not sure she can get over the fear of being hurt hy him again.
I must admit Sienna drove me crazy. She loves Declan but she keeps finding reasons to put up roadblocks in them getting back together for good. Even when she asks for advice from her friends she always says okay, then goes right back.
Declan is trying to be a better man and show her they are meant to be together.
They do get their HEA.

This contemporary romance is page-turning with exceptional world-building and intriguing and realistic characters. Their journey is enthralling with a billionaire rockstar romance, a second chance romance, forced proximity, drama, heartfelt emotions, adventure, secrets, deceptions, broken hearts, lyrics haunting me...I recommend reading this book by an extraordinary author who knows how to captivate her readers' hearts and attention with the billionaire's song and explicit romance that is consumed by steamy passion, lust, desire, and spice with all the feelings that will indeed have readers begging for more.

Second Chance Rock Romance

When high school sweethearts part paths with one wanting to see the world and the other wanting to stay behind for family and her job goals they are now about to see where things land ten years later at a high school class reunion.

Declan has every intention of making it a go again with the love of his life, Sienna. Sienna is still in love with Declan but she is so afraid that Declan will leave her again like he did ten years ago. Both of them have made their dreams come true in that Declan is now a part of Ravenheart who happens to be chart toppers on the music scene and Sienna with her very popular bakery.

You have to wonder if love is sometimes enough especially when one party is holding so many secrets that affects you both. The one surprise Declan had sure come out of left field and really gave me a jaw dropping moment. I was hoping these two could find their HEA and it was a one sit read for me.

Great book. I was hooked and I enjoyed read it . It was a page turner and the suspense was intense and romantic. I was at the edge of my seat and I couldn’t put it down. These characters were physical attraction and the chemistry between them was steamy and intimacy. They were in love with each a long time ago until they reconnected years later. They were falling back in love with each other. The moment they shared was sweet and precious when she heard him sing her favorite song once again brought back memories and tears with a little of happiness.
I highly recommend this book and you will not be disappointed . I am voluntarily leaving a honest review. Trina Jones

Book 2 of the Exs series. Sienna (Pipers roommate from book 1)and Declan were high school sweethearts that parted ways when he wanted to travel but she didn’t. He was meant to be away for a year then return but plans have a way of changing. They both got on with their lives never forgetting each other. Ten yrs later they meet again at a school reunion and find that feelings are still strong. Can they overcome all the obstacles( old and new) that are in their path and have a second chance at love? Can these two characters that are complete opposites find their hea? Great love story with drama, heart and heat. Likeable characters and great network of friends and family. A must read.

A class reunion sets fire to an old relationship that still holds promise. Declan is now in a popular rock band and Sienna still has feelings for him and vice versa. Will they let their memories reignite their passion? The characters are terrific, with great backstories, chemistry and entertaining situations. The storyline developed at a good pace with plenty of roadblocks to overcome before they get to the great ending. Enjoyed the locales, banter and steamy moments.

When a high school reunion brings Declan and Sienna back into each others lives the hope is for a second chance. However, internal and external obstacles will make it difficult. The story was well written and enjoyable to read. The characters were complex and full of emotional.

I really liked this book, but Sienna’s constant second guessing about whether or not she wanted to be with Declan got old after a while. She obviously loved him, so what was her problem? Okay, I admit they had a number of things they needed to work out, but why didn’t she just talk to him? The sudden appearance of Declan’s five-year old daughter threw another spanner in the works, but my biggest problem was with Declan’s brother Daymon. Although he professed that he only wanted to protect Declan, he seemed entirely too concerned with making sure Declan didn’t abandon the band or refuse to go on tour. I didn’t like the way he kept pushing to keep him away from Sienna and hated him even more when he spoke to Sienna behind Declan’s back and tried to make her feel guilty for reconnecting. Luckily, Declan knew exactly what he wanted and was determined to win Sienna back. I loved the little cameo from Ezra Snow, he seemed like a genuinely nice guy and I liked how he had an instant rapport with Sienna, despite the fact she was obviously in love with Declan. Sienna’s friends were great too, always there when she needed them most. The back and forth, yes or no, drove me crazy at times, but it’s definitely worth a read.

I rated this a 3.5 *
There were scenes in this book that I enjoyed and others not needed in my opinion. Or the book could have been longer so that there was more explanation of events and facts leading to a smoother ending.
I'm glad that Declan and Sienna re-connected, but the back and forth gave me a crick in the neck. Sienna genuinely being chosen to provide the desserts at a fundraiser based on her talents and not on a past relationship, as well as meeting and befriending her idol, were the highlights in the story. Yet we are left guessing if they will indeed continue the friendship. The ending seemed rushed and building a friendship between a left-behind daughter (who we only hear of now) and a new lady in her dad's life, a bit forced, especially after what reads like a fake robbery. Daymon's criticism became too much and although he would start off trying to come across as caring, he totally failed.
My apologies if this sounds harsh, but I feel this author could have done a lot more with the romance and the really important aspects of the story.
I will read another book from this author as I would like to know that she has advanced in her skill.
I received a copy from Booksirens and this is my honest and voluntary review.

Sienna Winter's 10-year class reunion dance is tonight and she's spending some extra time getting ready, in hopes of seeing her ex-boyfriend, Declan Wolfe. Declan, who goes by Ravenheart in his professional life, had his heart broken by Sienna when he left to travel the world and she refused to go with him. Now a famous country music star, he's hoping to see Sienna and try to repair the damage that caused their split. But he is far from innocent with his "horribly broken heart" because he left her behind in order to follow his musical dream, while she built a reputation as an exceptional baker. There was such a disconnect for me in that he walked away, moved on and married another woman. Why would she want someone who clearly didn't care about her all those 10 years. Added to that is the fact that Declan never put her first. When he told Addy that he had a daughter, (yeah, that happens) he basically said that if she didn't accept his daughter, she was toast. I don't feel that there was much of a happy ending because I was too frustrated with Declan by the end that I just couldn't care.

This is the second book in The EX-Factor Series, but can be read as a standalone. You'll love Sienna and Declan's second chance romance. They broke each other's heart ten years ago, but they're reunited at their high school reunion. She's amazed when she finds out that he's a member of the famous Ravenheart band. The sparks still there, but she's worried about getting her heart broken again. They were opposites in every way, but they just clicked. He tried to get her to travel with him after college, but she was a home body and turned him down. She's hard to like at times and is insecure, self-absorbed and whiney. What about the song he wrote for her. What happens when his five-year-old daughter Shawna and his ex-wife show up on his doorstep? Are they able to put the past behind them and go forward with a life together? What happens when Sienna and his daughter are robbed? A good book that was a fun read. An HEA and no cliffhanger

Declan left Sienna behind when he took off 10 years ago to explore the world and life as a rockstar. She had roots in her community and while she loved him, she couldn't see herself in life always on the run. The opportunity comes up for Sienna to cater a benefit; she finds out it's for Raven's Heart, which is Declan's band. She's concerned about running into Declan, of course, but she has also wants to do a good job. Will these two be able to find their way past obstacles, both old and new, to find their way to forever?

I enjoyed this story a lot; the back and forth was a little dizzying at times, but when Declan decided that Sienna was it for him, the romance he put forth to win her over? Amazing!

This is Book 2 in the EX-Factor Series by this author, and can be read as a standalone. It is a second chance romance between former college sweethearts, Sienna and Declan. These flawed characters and the unique plot make for an entertaining read. Once they reconnect, their sizzling chemistry and strong connection are undeniable as they navigate the bumpy road to their forever after. It is a love story with drama and steam, sexual tension and chemistry, and twists and turns, plus appealing secondary characters to keep the reader interested. An engaging page turner.

This was a really sweet, second chance at love story. Declan left years ago, but comes back to a class reunion to reconnect with Sienna, his long lost love. It’s a complicated journey, but their rediscovery is beautiful. Sienna, however, needs to get out of her own way. She overthinks her feelings way too much. Sometimes you need to just take a chance and jump in. Props to Declan for sticking with it because Sienna’s emotions are all over the place.

Solid storytelling, a bit of steam, and a fun cast of characters makes this an easy afternoon read.

Declan and Sienna dated through college, very much in love. After college Declan announced that he’s off to see the world and wants her to go with him, she refuses. Now ten years later they come face to face and he’s a world famous rockstar and she owns the bakery that was her dream in college. He wants her back but she’s not sure, and his brother Daymon tells her to stay away from his brother. This story is romantic and sweet, I like that Declan is taking his time. This story has minimum conflict and sometimes Sienna is a bit childish. Anyway, the ride is sweet and I loved the ending. I’m giving this book four stars and I recommend it.

The Billionaire’s Song was a great book, I was hooked right from the start. Sienna and Declan were friends turned lovers, however they had ended their relationship. It was their high school reunion that managed to bring them back into each others lives.

Reunion.

MF, Second Chance, Forced Proximity, Billionaire, Musician, Contemporary, Romance. Easy to read, angsty, Steamy, second book in the series but can be read as a stand-alone. Overall I enjoyed the story but unfortunately the rating dropped with the somewhat clumsy introduction of Shawna and it unfortunately affected my overall enjoyment. Guaranteed HEA.
