Billionaire Season #1
The Long Hot Summer
William Warfield is a lucky man— he is heir to a multi-billion dollar shipping empire and with his heart-stopping good looks and Southern charm he has all the perks, freedom and erotic pleasures the sultry city of New Orleans has to offer. There are only three minor flaws in his better than perfect life. His father is still in love with a woman he hasn’t seen in thirty years, his brother can barely balance his faltering sanity while operating his elite private sex club, and there’s Allie Darling… Allie is the daughter of his father’s long ago love interest who William ends up “baby-sitting” for the long hot summer. She’s a ‘just out of college’, wide-eyed and not-so-worldly California girl who William has absolutely NO INTEREST IN… Until he does. Sparks fly and William introduces Allie to the hedonistic pleasures of his exotic world. Will Allie succumb to her carnal desires and adapt to his lifestyle or go running back to her simple life? William has never lost in business or love, Allie has never even played, but after a long hot New Orleans summer the erotic pleasures that brought them together might just be what tears them apart.

About the author
Kimball Lee
37 books138 followersHi, I'm Kimball Lee and I'd like to welcome you to the many worlds of my imagination! The topics of my novels and novella-series will vary, but my style of writing remains the same. I don't write 700 page books padded with useless words that take three pages to describe a doorknob! I do write funny, interesting, happy, sad, romantic, often titillating, and always thought provoking books that pack a lot good reading into just the right number of pages.
My first novella, Legal Action, changed my life over night with more than 250,000 downloads in the first months. I write twelve to fifteen hours a day and love ALMOST every minute of it! My social life has completely disappeared, but interaction with my readers through email, Facebook, and Twitter makes me very happy... (As well as the occasional Diet Coke and chocolate cupcake!) I am represented by Joyce Holland at D4EO Literary Agency. Happy reading! Kimball

William, Walden and Alaina. The Sexual Predator, The Manic Depressive and the Angel.
William Warfield the third never forgot his first true love. When she dies, he invites her daughter to come and stay for a while.
William Warfield the fourth was prepared to hate Alaina Darling, only agreeing to collect her from the airport as a favour to his father.
She was soaked through with the rain; he thought she had a fantastic ass, rethought he was the sexiest man she'd ever seen.
He wondered how quick he could unload her and get back to his life of business and debauched sex. She wondered how she could get him to take notice and get her into bed.
He doesn't do relationships and romance, she does.
Wonder how that's going to turn out.

I'm not a fan of cliffhangers and as The Long Hot Summer ~ Billionaire Season ~ Book 1 is the first book in the trilogy, it ends with a cliffhanger. William Warfield, is a billionaire and only has sex with women in semi-public places with no strings attached until he meets Allie Darling.
He has his hands full with his brother Walden out of control and then the unexpected attraction to Allie by both him and Walden. The sex is romantic and a new experience for both Allie and William and then Walden finds Allie and it ends in a cliffhanger.

The Long Hot Summer is a quick romantic read and was enjoyable from the start. With a little bit of a dark past thrown in, the characters run high with emotion and lust. Although it was short, there was a love triangle and love scenes that added so much detail to the story. This was unlike most other billionaire romances I've read, and seems to be more formal and mature. I enjoyed reading The Long Hot Summer for the most part!

Nice storyline but a few too many cliches.
I enjoyed reading this book, the literary references were different and refreshing from others in this genre. However the main characters have a tendency to speak in cliches and it brings a repetitive sort of cheapness to an otherwise original story. I look forward to reading the sequels though as the characters are intriguing.

Intense and erotic!
The suspenseful tension between William and Allie kept me from putting the book down. And with Walden all but abducting her at the end... I can't wait until I read the next one to find out how William reacts!!

Should have been done in 1 book.
I did not even start to read because I found out it was a series of just a few pages each book.

Do not read.
This is the first thing that comes to my mind when I write about this book. It was a torture and I pretty much skipped most parts of it. The writing style is so bad that I wonder whether the author has ever read any book and did she even show this to an editor? If she did, then fire that editor right away.
The characters are weird. I honestly have no other words for them. Storyline couldn't be more absurd. But the worst of all is the writing style. Kimball Lee, I am afraid hasn't mastered the art of writing. She isn't even an amateur. That's how bad it is. The dialogues in the book go on and on, I mean come on, no one speaks that much. The characters are so straight forward they say everything. EVERYTHING.
I couldn't have chosen a worse book to read. I would give this a 2/10 rating.

Holy Hot cliffhanger...geez...way to leave us on the edge of our seats!! I seem to have found a few steamy short erotic reads lately with a suspenseful twist at the end. This one started off a bit slow and confusing for a short bit and then things started happening and the story became one hot mess of family secrets, mental illness, alternative lifestyles and a family history that is not completely clear yet.
I really hope there will be a continuation of this book soon because it leaves a lot of unanswered questions and specifically "will Allie and William end up together" or "will another man open Allie up to a whole new world she has never experienced before"?
**** 4 **** "hot Cajun nights" stars

I'd like to be able to say that I don't judge a book by its cover but come on, when you've got a cover like this how do you resist? I enjoyed the story although I felt as if I was stepping into a series mid point and missing some information on character background the character personalities and interaction were still enough to keep me interested and all the various interests and clashing passions by the end were enough to blow my mind. Seriously it really starts off with a bang and doesn't stop. There's harshness and unforgiving natures but there's also underlying depth. I wish that aspect was explored more but Kimball does a fantastic job writing a really hot story.

It grew on me
This book was a little tough to get into, BUT hold out through the 2nd chapter. Truly, this book grew on me and I hate that it ended where it did.
I will say that the preview you get doesn't end in a place that makes you want to read more or make a purchase. But I'm glad I did.

Book 1..
For me this was a nice morning read.. I enjoyed the storyline and I am interested in finding out what happens next. However I do feel that it was a little rushed in some areas, they just seemed to jump together without the feelings. But I do want to read the next, cliffhangers are just pesky to me that way!

Yet another creative brilliance for writing sharp sexy stories and this is no different. A young woman arrives sponsored by a former lover of her mother's, a billionaire who never got over her. She arrives with both brothers finding her attractive and soon she has affected their lives beyond change. Who will truly capture her heart and her body.

At the beginning I was having a bit of an issue trying to get in to the story, also at times I felt like it was poorly written, but as I continue reading everything started coming along.
This book is quite interesting even thought the confusion of William who is the main character will have you wondering if his momma drop him on his head when he was a baby

Just imagine meeting the perfect guy or girl. Going out of your way to be civil when all you want to do is tear off their clothes. This book is about love at first sight. He sees the perfect Angel.She the perfect man but life throws a curve ball .a dysfunctional family

William Warfield...southern hospitality at it's finest! This book will leave you on the cliff's edge waiting for what will happen next, just like all of Kimball's books! She has done it yet again. And now we wait for book #2!

Not my cup of tea it was more based on sex than coming up with real emotional connection. Yes it has a cliffhanger but I'm not interested enough to want to read the next one. I loved the cover it's what made me read it.

I first came upon Kimball Lee's having read Legal Legacy - and loved her work. I picked up The Long Hot summer and again Kimball has maintained that level of interest, with great story and plot line and engaging characters who spark and ignite a fiery passion within each other.

2 Stars for effort. It had the makings of a good story but I was not a fan of the writing.
