The Lincoln Brothers #3

Billion Dollar Dispute

Rate this book
Harvey Lincoln is an irresistible young billionaire determined to save my parent's failing business. When we start working together he thinks he can charm my pants off, but I’m a single mom with trust issues the size of New York.
When my ex-husband is arrested my mother hands me the family business, and I take it as a life raft for me and my son.

Harvey thinks he can swoop in and save the day, but I’m not looking for a White Knight. Despite my efforts to keep my distance, he refuses, persistently showing up everywhere I am… including my house.

When he confides in me about needing his inheritance to expand his company, I agree to let him help. It doesn’t hurt that he’s incredibly handsome, with a chiseled jawline, piercing eyes, and a playful personality.

The long days and late nights working together cause me to see a softer, sweeter side of Mr. Lincoln. Inch by inch, he breaks down my walls and wins my heart.

I only asked for one thing in return: honesty. A promise he seems to have forgotten.


Billion Dollar Dispute is a standalone single mom romance, with a younger playboy billionaire.

From the very first page, it had me hooked, and I loved every second of it! This book delivered everything I adore in a romance—spice, obsession, and a hero who falls first and harder.
Harvey completely stole my heart. His obsession with Jemima was everything, and his devotion to her made the story even better. That quote—"I’d give you anything just to have your hands on me again, Jemima."—had me absolutely melting! There’s just something about a man who is utterly obsessed, and Harvey delivered that in the best way possible.
The tropes? Perfection. The reverse age gap, workplace romance, and single mom elements blended seamlessly to create an emotional and addictive story. The single mom aspect wasn’t just a background detail—it was a huge part of the book, and it made the romance even more meaningful. Harvey’s interactions with Chad were so heartwarming. Even though it was his first time dealing with a kid, he was so gentle and caring, loving Chad as if he were his own. That just made me love him even more!
Now, I’m beyond excited for Oliver’s story! I can't wait to see what Sharon has in store for him next.
If you love romance books with spice, deep devotion, and a swoon-worthy, obsessed MMC, Billion Dollar Dispute is a must-read!

Harvey and Jemima

+ Single Mom (who does not trust easily)
+ Playboy Billionaire mmc
+ reverse age gap
+ forced proximity (they work together)

Great banter with these two, they're both stubborn and hardworking. They are sort of forced to work together and figure out how to save Jemima's family business.

I love this series. Jemima is such a strong women, with how she handles everything. Harvey is not what people perceive of him, he is a such a sweetheart and a gentlemen with her. The banter between them was so funny. I love the Lincoln family. He was such a golden retriever compare to his grumpy brothers. This was such an emotional read. I love the pace of the story and how did they slowly bonded. I love how he connected with her and her son. I also love his bond with his grandma.

This is the third book in this series and this is Harvey and Jemima’s story.
Harvey is a billionaire, and Jemima is a single mom to her son, and she has trust issues thanks to her ex-husband. Harvey is determined to help save her family’s failing business, and they end up working together.
This is a well written easy to read, with family, friendships, emotions, engaging and realistic characters, challenges, humor, witty banter, romance, and love, which leads to an entertaining, spicy, and all-consuming page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Harvey is the golden retriever billionaire that I didn't know that I needed! His determination and investment into Jemima and her business is what everyone needs in a man.
This is an absolute slow burn, but well written! It shows a natural relationship build between Jemima and Harvey, which each interaction between them slowing breaking down Jemima's walls.
I loved that the age gap was reversed and we had a single mum as the FMC. Any time an author writes a reverse age gap I'm all for it.

Thank you Sharon for making this book an absolute vibe and I can't wait to read more of the Lincoln brothers!

(I received an ARC for this book)

Trigger Warnings include:
mentions of struggling to conceive, breast cancer, the death of a loved one, absentee parent, drug use (including on page), illegal activities with police involvement, therapy session on page

Jemima’s life is flipped upside, and Harvey Lincoln is ready to mess it up some more! Except this beautiful soul does something even better: he vows to make her life as easy as possible. “How dare the world work against her.” Super hero complex…in a super sweet, super gentle, super swoony kind of way!! I knew from the start that Harvey was going to be my favorite brother if given the chance. And he was given the perfect chance! Falling in love with these two was nonstop for me! It wasn’t easy going (and I don’t blame her!). But Harvey did what he could to remind Jemima that she wasn’t alone, and that she could count on him…man even groveled with his heart! His entire heart! (It was very enjoyable when his brother picked on him for it!)

Love doesn’t care about age
Harvey Lincoln, at 34, is the youngest Lincoln brother. He feels like he has to prove himself every step of the way. On his own, Harvey is a success, but he has higher aspirations and needs access to his trust fund. His Dad has given Harvey a test to complete to get his trust fund money. Harvey is such a sensitive good man, and I like him a lot.
Jemima has just inherited Recaredo Events, the family event-planning business. The business is in dire straights and this business is the test Harvey must resuscitate to show his dad he’s got what it takes. Jemima has lived through hell these last few years. She has a business degree but has little experience in event planning. Jemima has no money and is in a lot of debt thanks to Butch, her drug-dealing, thief husband, and soon EX. She did get a wonderful 6-year-old son, Chad out of the relationship. Jemima is a wonderful lady and a mom. She’s just so scared.
Harvey will give his all to help Jemima save her business, but he has no idea falling in love with Jemima and Chad would be part of the deal. I LOVE THE LINCOLN FAMILY. The Lincoln brothers weave in and out of the story, Gram is awesome as are Harvey’s parents. A Billion Dollar Dispute is a heartwarming story with a perfectly marvelous happy ending. Linda

I loved this book I couldn't put it down. Jemima is a single parent going through a really rough patch in her life and Harvey needs to help a struggling business to get his inheritance. So they decide to work together. The chemistry and banter between them is wonderful but Jemima has her guards up. It's great to see her let her walls down and add some fun back into her life. Harvey also matures in ways and gets inspired by Jemima. The way Harvey, Jemima and her son interact is so cute. This is a slow burn romance but when it gets to the spice it's well written. It is also a reverse age gap. This is a great story with wonderful lead characters but the side characters are wonderful too so it enhances the story!

"She already owns my own heart, and I hope I own hers too." 🥰
"I want to be consumed by his affection." ❤️
“I’ve never lost anything. Losing you made me ☠️ inside. But not only did I lose you… I lost Chad too. "And you’re a package deal, and 🦆, I want that. I love you. I love him. I love you both so 🦆ing much. You're the loves of my life.” ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

I am leaving my honest review for a complimentary copy of this book via the author.

💛ARC Review💛

Billion Dollar Dispute by @sharonwoodsauthor

ARC provided by the author and I happily give my honest opinion.

Harvey is looking to expand his empire and Jemima is just starting out after taking over the family business.

Harvey needs to prove himself to receive his inheritance and helping Jemima with her ailing business would do that.

Unfortunately Jemima has been let down by the person she should have been able to trust most and is very reluctant to let anyone in.

Harvey persists because it will help him, but he also starts to see what a strong woman Jemima is.

When they do team up things start to heat up between them, but they shouldn’t make sense. She is a struggling single mom who is older than him. His only thoughts before Jemima were for his business, never settling down or having a family.

Somehow they just seem to work! He is so sweet to her and her son. She doesn’t want him for his money, which makes a change.

There is a bump along the way. I could understand Jemima’s hurt.

This was a sweet story with a little bit of heat and likeable characters.

The FMC Jemima soon becomes a single mother to her young son Chad, she’s left with a failing business and debt. In comes the MMC Harvey, a billionaire hoping for his inheritance, but before he can get it he has to help Jemimas business succeed.

I enjoyed the plot and found the characters really likeable.
There were so many relatable aspects that it definitely hit a soft spot for me and I felt all the emotions. I found myself giggling, kicking my feet like a kid, welling up and smiling throughout.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy it to begin with, I wasn’t keen on the writing in the first chapter but that soon changed and I got into it with ease.

I don’t highlight text very often but this is probably one of my most highlighted reads with the amount of quotes I found myself reading a couple times.

To me, there wasn’t a lot of spice but when there was it was SPICY.
Overall, a great read and will definitely be reading more by this author.

🌟 ARC copy received 🌟

Thank you so much, Sharon, for the advanced read of Harvey and Jemima's love story!! I think this one is my favorite so far of the Billionaire Series. However, they are all great. As always, I really enjoy this authors writing so much. The story always flows so well, with great storylines that engage me through the whole book and enjoyable characters I am rooting for throughout. I am always excited when a new book by Sharon is out, and I savor it! ❤️ Harvey is probably my favorite brother in the series, a very likable, sweet but alpha MMC who falls first for Jemima, an equally enjoyable, strong-willed, amazing single mom FMC. Their story was a slow burn, but the plot definitely called for it being a slow burn. Their chemistry together made it so worthwhile to wait for, however!
Great slow burn love story with a reverse age gap, single mom, and forced proximity in the workplace themes. My only wish was that the book was longer! 😄 But the ending was good!! 💕 I can’t wait to read Oliver’s story next! 🌟

Jemima & Harvey's story was so refreshing and sweet. I am so glad I finally got to read this book.

I enjoyed the way their relationship developed , Jemima was the older woman , a single mum to her son Chad , her ex husband gets arrested , taking over her family’s business on short notice , and going through a lot of other challenges. Then in comes Harvey Lincoln billionaire investor , with so much charisma & charm . She definitely didn’t make it easy for him at all.

I enjoyed the pace of their story and how they really got to know each other . The banter throughout from their initial meeting all the way through the book was lit.
Jemima was 😍😍. The way her character evolved through the story and being able to tune into her personality, she keeps you interested in her story , you want her to succeed in her relationships and being a great mum to her son. Harvey was such a wonderful MMC definitely runs in the Lincoln bloodline. He was a golden retriever compared to his older grumpy brothers 😅. He also bakes *swoon*
The spice was just the right level of spicy. The mirror scene yes yes yes. 😶‍🌫️🫠😮‍💨🤩

I received an ARC of this book . All reviews and comments are in my own words and of my own views and opinions

Thank you to the author for a free e-ARC! This is my honest review!
SG rating: 2.75/5; rated up to 3 for GR.

I was happy to revist the Lincoln family and follow Harvey's story. Our main female character Jemima has the most adorable son Chad and I loved watching Harvey fall in love with taking care of him. The banter between Jemima and Harvey started right in the beginning and kept up for a good majority of the story.

I did find it hard to connect with the two main characters as they didn't feel as built out as the past Lincoln books did. I think both story arcs for the characters were there but the characters themselves felt more flat then previous characters.

Even though I didn't connect as well with Harvey and Jemima, I'm still very much looking forward to continuing the series on our next Harvey brother!

Oh my gosh I am absolutely loving this series !!! With each book I’ve found myself falling more and more in love , not only with all the characters but with this fantastic world Sharon has created . How do you choose a favorite Lincoln Brother - I’ve found it’s pretty much impossible because I’m equal parts in love and obsessed with all 3 . That being said there was something about Harvey though I found quite irresistible maybe it was how flirty he was with Jemima , maybe it was how protective he was over her especially when he starts to fall in love with her , or maybe it was just the fact that both were so very likable and relatable . All I know for certain is that I loved loved loved every moment of their story

She's 43 year old working to save her late fathers family event planning business. He's a Billionaire that wears suits, trying to gain access to his trust fund by been tasked to turn a failing business profitable. Standard love story right? Nope. Here's the kicker....he's 34!
It's so rare for there to be an older fmc! A divorced single mum that's lost her sparkle paired with a younger hot shot Rich boy thats never really thought of settling down? Yay!
I've read a lot. Off the top of my head I can only remember 2 stories that have an older fmc. So I am so here for it!

Ok officially this is my fave couple of the series 🥹😍
Jem and Harvey are hands down the sweetest and spiciest pairing 🤭🥹

From the moment I read “I’d give you anything just to have your hands on me again, Jemima.” I was HOOKED.
The single-mum business owner + billionaire combo worked so well, and while reverse age gap isn’t usually my thing… damn, I was sold.

Such a beautiful story with real depth, emotion, and genuine connection. You can feel how much Sharon loves these characters - and it shows on every page.
She’s done it again 💖

A slow burn, age gap romance that will have you swooning.

I love how Jem starts out as a broken self conscious middle aged woman, but with Harvey's help she finds her confidence both in her personal and professional life.
The chemistry between Jemima and Harvey is undeniable and the banter is so much fun.
