As a busy ER intern, Holly Vincent doesn’t have time for extracurricular activities.

But when she’s stranded in a broken elevator for a few hours with irritatingly cocky, hotter-than-the-sun, downstairs neighbour Danny Colton, she decides to bend her rules and let the filthy-mouthed hottie talk her into having some fun.

Drummer by night, and maintenance man by day, Danny Colton is more than happy to show bookish Dr Prim what she’s been missing out on. After all, what else are they going to do until they’re rescued?

But when it’s back to reality, one wild tryst night isn’t enough for Danny and whilst they’re drawn to each other like magnets, Holly has no time for dating between study and the unrelenting exhaustion of shiftwork.

Suddenly, though, Danny’s world changes in the form of a surprise billion-dollar inheritance, and he figures it could be the key to winning Holly’s heart. Wrong. He soon finds out that money can’t buy him love. For that, he’s going to need to be much more creative!

Another fabulous story from Amy Andrews, this one is so very steamy, sensual, witty and fun as we get to know Holly Vincent and Danny Colton as they steam up any room they are in but will they find their HEA?

Holly is a busy ER Intern and studies hard, she has no time at all for a dalliance or any fun in her life she has set her plans and sticks to them, but when a blizzard hits the town and her heating has gone out and she needs the maintenance man to fix it, this could change everything when she gets stuck in an elevator with said maintenance man for hours.

Danny is a drummer by night and helping out his uncle by doing his job as maintenance man in an apartment building and when he gets stuck in the elevator with Doc he is determined to show her that she needs to live a little and have some fun, to find time for other things in her life.

The hours in the elevator show Holly what fun can be but she is determined to leave that Holly behind when they get out but Danny has other ideas and soon he wins her over and they are not only steaming up any room they enter whenever they can, but also talking and opening up about their lives but then things change again when Danny becomes a billionaire and he also realizes that he loves Holly but Holly is stunned with what Danny tells her, could this really be happening Danny soon learns that money can’t buy love but he knows how to convince Holly in so many other ways and Holly opens up to the fact that fun and a dalliance are just what the Doc needs.

This one really is super steamy but fun and a great story, one that I do highly recommend to any lover of hot and steamy romance.

My thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.

She didn’t have time for love, but falling for him was effortless.

Holly is a 27-year-old ER doctor who thrives on control and precision—except when she’s around Danny. He’s Bob-the-handyman’s younger relative, a tattooed, cocky drummer who moves through life at his own pace. He knows he drives her crazy, and honestly, he loves it.

When Holly’s radiator breaks and a stuck elevator traps the two of them together, the banter and tension finally snap. What should’ve been hours of annoyance turns into something much steamier. From there, Danny offers exactly what Holly doesn’t want to admit she needs… a release from her nonstop, high-pressure life. But while she insists it’ll never turn into more, feelings have a way of slipping in where they’re not wanted. 🤭🤭

This book is steamy, playful, and full of opposites-attract tension. Holly’s stubbornness makes her easy to root for, and Danny is that perfect mix of cocky and protective—never hiding the fact that he wants her, even when she pretends otherwise. The banter is sharp, the chemistry is explosive, and their slow shift from hookups to something real is addictive.

The only drawback for me was how Holly’s medical background slipped into her thoughts. Sometimes she described things with very clinical wording, which felt out of place in the middle of a romance scene and pulled me out A LOT. (it was very cringey 😭)

If you’re in the mood for a short, easy read that’s equal parts steamy and fun—with sharp banter, a cocky drummer who knows exactly what he wants, and a heroine who can’t help falling despite herself—Blue Collar Billionaire is a quick romance fix that delivers.

”I need some kind of shield against the way Danny looks at me. Like he wants to play doctor. The kind of doctor that specialises in sexual healing.”

“His eyes are shut, his head dropped back like he's really riding the beat, and for several moments I forget my insecurities as I feast on the sight of Danny Colton doing what he was clearly made to do.”

“He taught me that if you want to change the world, start by making your bed because how can you accomplish the big things if you don't have time for the small?”

“This isn't my usual scene and we both know it. I must look like a fish out of water, but... I don't feel it. Not when he looks at me like I belong wherever he is.”

Take one prudish trainee doc and have her stuck in a lift with a man who could dirty talk his way straight to an audible studio. This is heavy on the spice but with just enough romance to keep this fluffy reader happy.

The two main characters are complete opposites but both really enjoyable as characters and are fire when they come together. No game playing but plenty of sizzling tension and a caring side showing over the importance of friends acceptance.

I will however be forever disappointed with using a lift from now on, unless it contains one tattooed drummer who knows his way around a tool box iykyk.

Blue Collar Billionaire by Amy Andrews is a forced proximity, opposites attract, super steamy romance between a hot handsome handyman/drummer and a busy ER intern. When Holly Vincent and Danny Colton
use the elevator to go to the basement of the building to check why there was no heat in her apartment, the elevator unexpectedly stops, for a while. Holly had no time for extracurricular activities, but being stranded in a broken elevator for a few hours with irritatingly overconfident, hot, downstairs neighbor Danny, Holly decides to bend her rules and let the filthy-mouthed cutie talk her into having some fun. Danny just wants to show bookish Dr Prim what she’s been missing out on; there isn’t anything better they could do as they wait until they’re rescued. Afterwards Danny decides one wild time isn’t enough; he wanted more. Despite the magnetic attraction Holly believes she has no time for dating between study and the unrelenting exhaustion of her work at the hospital. Suddenly, though, Danny’s world changes in the form of a surprise billion-dollar inheritance, and he figures it could be the key to winning Holly’s heart. Wrong. He soon finds out that money can’t buy him love. For that, he’s going to need to be much more creative

Spicy

This is a quick, very spicy story. The characters are likeable and you want them to win. This book doesn’t follow the typical understanding romance novel trope which is refreshing. Also, I like that the billionaire aspect is in the background. I actually like when the characters are just regular people.

Though I don’t read many romance novels I stumbled on this author earlier this year and I have enjoyed several of her books and look forward to more.

If you are looking for a quick, spicy book definitely give this one a go.

Blue Collar Billionaire is the third title in The Billionaire Confessions Collection, where we’re about to encounter ER resident, Holly, who has dedicated her life to saving lives, unlike when her beloved grandmother died from her injuries that a rural ER doctor did not properly care for. And Danny, drummer/sorta handyman/filling in temporarily for his uncle as the apartment building’s maintenance guy while his uncle is away. Danny also lives in the same building as Holly, so when she returns from an exhausting shift in the emergency room, all she wants is her warm bed and hours to sleep… nope, not gonna happen tonight. There’s no heat in her apartment, and a blizzard is heading her way. She engages Danny’s help with the heat, and as they descend to the basement to try to fix the heating problem, the elevator dies… and this couple is about to give us new ways to produce some much-needed…heat.

To say that Blue Collar Billionaire is steamy is the same as saying ghost peppers are hot. Yeah, very! Understatement there. Yet while Holly and Danny are shooting sparks off of each other, they’re also beginning to see beyond the heat to where their opposite personalities just might mean something far more permanent for them over time. I loved watching their romance unfold, and Danny’s sudden windfall was so expertly played (you’ll see).

Blue Collar Billionaire by Amy Andrews is an excellent journey into love for two, well, polar opposites in Holly and Danny. Their story is well-written, emotional, passionate, and engaging. If you love your romance with steam along with some very tender moments as well, then you’d love this one.

Quick Summary: A pseudo 9 1/2-weeks-esque, opposites attract, spicy romance

My Review: Blue Collar Billionaire by Amy Andrews is a hot and heavy contemporary romance. It is scheduled for release on 10/24/25.

About the Book: "As a busy ER intern, Holly Vincent doesn’t have time for extracurricular activities.

But when she’s stranded in a broken elevator for a few hours with irritatingly cocky, hotter-than-the-sun, downstairs neighbour Danny Colton, she decides to bend her rules..."

In My Own Words: Two familiar strangers who secretly share a mutual attraction for each other get stranded in an elevator during a snowstorm. What happens next remains behind closed doors...or does it?

My Final Say: This read was a fast and quick romp, that's for sure. It was witty and humorous, and it had its own brand of charm. The introduced heat between the leads was of the variety that lasts for days. It stole the show. There was not really any conflict to speak of, yet an attempt was made. While this novel did not have much of a story, it had two very different, very interesting characters who "filled the gaps" for one another.

I found the inclusion of information pertaining to adventures in ER medicine and more specifically to word usage related to human anatomy to be a hoot and a half. (lol)

Other: Readers who enjoy the following tropes may like this story.

✔️ Secret billionaire
✔️ Forced proximity
✔️ Opposites attract
✔️ Super steamy

Rating: 3/5
Recommend: +/- Y
Audience: A
Status: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Blue Collar Billionaire, by Amy Andrews, has one of my favorite troupes, opposites attract. It also has just the right amount of steam along with great characters, and explosive attraction. It was a blast to read and perfect for readers who enjoy a steamy cup of goodness.

I absolutely fell for the main characters. I loved Holly, she is an eclectic mix of intelligence, quirkyness and old-school notions. As an ER doctor she is driven and hyper focused on her goals. Then she meets Danny and gets to know him. Danny makes her melt and their attraction is off the charts. As for Danny, he most certainly knew how to get under her skin. He always makes her a melting mess of hormones. In contrast to Holly, Danny is you typical laid back, fly by the seat of your pants, musician. He is good looking and he knows it. He reeks of masculinity and cocky attitude. The total opposite of Holly. Yet they work so well together.

Holly doesn’t have time for a relationship and Danny feels like he is a plebian compared to her. Therefore, despite the attraction both of them feel they tell themselves they are just scratching an itch. Then the most unexpected thing happens. Danny’s Uncle, who raised him, dies suddenly and leaves him a straggling amount of money. Money can be a good thing or a bad thing. The ten dollar question is, will Danny be mature enough to handle the windfall responsibly.

In summary, this book is an enjoyable, quick and fun read. I was fully invested in Holly and Danny’s story, which felt real, and I was routing for them throughout the book. If you like a romance story with a decent plot and a good dose of steam, then this is the book for you. Enjoy!

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me the absolute privilege of being able to arc read this book. I truly appreciate it!

Amy Andrews does it again! My gosh did she bring the spicy this timr though! She always brings the spice, everything she writes has fantastic spice, but this! If you're looking for a truly spicy from literally start to finish with true romance, an actual plot and realist storyline this is it!

Well the title is called 'Blue Collar Billionaire' this is not your traditional spicy Billionaire romance at all and I'm completely here for it! Amy Andrews is an absolute queen at taking a trope and twisting it in a way that makes you unable to love anything but what she creates and she's absolutely done that again here. Holly and Danny are incredible well fleshed out characters and their chemistry is absolutely off the charts! I loved watching both of their growth especially Holly's, seeing her find herself and creating a life that makes her happy and fulfils ever aspect that was previously lacking was so beautiful! I loved reading through Danny's pov and watching as he falls for whole she truly is, no matter her state was so realistic and everything I wanted and more. What that man can do and more though will leave you wishing you were Holly, I promise you that!

If you're looking for a spicy, actual romance, with realistic chemistry, a true plot, and a fantastic story line, this is it through and through!

Thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart for allowing me the absolute privilege of being able to read this book! I truly appreciate it! I absolutely loved it!

“The elevator scene is pure, unfiltered spice – definitely 18+, and will leave readers hot under the collar.”

Blue Collar Billionaire by Amy Andrews is exactly what it says on the tin: a fun, flirty, and very spicy romance. Holly is an ER nurse just trying to keep warm in her apartment when the only person who can help is her cocky, tattooed neighbour, Danny. Their banter is sharp, the attraction instant, and before long they’re trapped together in an elevator during a snowstorm – which is where things really heat up.

Told in dual perspective, it was great to get inside both Holly and Danny’s heads. Their chemistry is pure love-to-hate with plenty of one-upmanship, and while the story itself is light on plot, it more than makes up for it with humour, wit, and some very steamy scenes. This is very much insta-lust rather than slow burn, and I’ll admit I felt the billionaire twist coming in so late (around the 75% mark) was a bit of a missed opportunity – I’d have loved to see that developed more to give their relationship extra depth.

That said, the book doesn’t take itself too seriously, and it’s an easy, fun romp that balances all the spice with a few softer, caring moments that make the characters feel more than just “horny teenagers”. There are even a handful of lines that made me chuckle out loud.

Overall: quick, steamy, cheeky, and very much fluff-and-stuff romance. If you like your reads witty, spicy, and with plenty of forced proximity banter, this one will tick the boxes.

Blue Collar Billionaire by Amy Andrews is a delightfully spicy and heartfelt romance about a young aspiring ER doctor who simply doesn’t have time for anything—or anyone—else. Holly is laser-focused on her goal of becoming a rural ER doctor, determined to provide care for patients far from major hospitals. Between long shifts and endless studying, she barely has time to breathe—until the heat goes out in the middle of a storm.

When she knocks on the superintendent’s door, Danny answers—a drummer who helps with the building’s maintenance. He’s everything Holly isn’t: laid-back, easygoing, and effortlessly charming. The chemistry between them is instant and undeniable, but could two people so different really work?

I truly enjoyed this novel. The writing style is smooth and engaging, the plot well-paced, and the characters—both main and supporting—are wonderfully developed. If I had one tiny critique, it would be that the ending felt a little rushed; I would’ve happily read a few more chapters just to stay in their world a bit longer. I wanted to read more. I didn't want it to end just yet.

Thank you to Amy Andrews, Boldwood Books, and NetGalley for the ARC. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Wonderfully developed likable characters and an unforgettable elevator scene, make this a very entertaining read. Told in alternative POV from the two main characters. Holly Vincent is an exhausted ER resident, who has no time for anything, but work and study, especially not sexy Danny Colton, the building handyman. Danny is the cousin and apprentice of the landlord of the building that she lives in. She lost her beloved grandmother, when she was injured in a car wreck on a rural road and did not get the proper care from the attending ER. As a child she vowed that she would become an ER doctor and save other grandmothers in rural areas. Danny 's father died when he was a baby, and his mother drifted from man to man, until his father's cousin Bob took him in as a teenager. Bob was ex military and taught Danny everything he needed to know to be a man. Danny fell for Holly the first time he laid eyes on her, but he knew he had to play it smart. I loved his comparing himself to Danny Zuko and the Mr. Rogers references. How does Danny come a billionaire? You'll have to read the book.

I really enjoyed this book, it had just enough spice in it to be enjoyable for me - sometimes it's too much. I liked the pacing and how Danny and Holly react to each other. Their connection is clear to see and their passion consumes them. I liked how Danny is the handyman of the complex while Bob is away on a trip. I also like stories where characters have meaningful jobs, Holly as an ER doctor is something to admire. She knows what she wants and knows the hard work it takes to get there.

I liked how we also got to meet Holly's friends at one point, shows there is more to the story than just the main characters. I will look out for more by this author as it's my first one and I've enjoyed reading about them as they are relatable. Danny as a drummer too, I can see him in that role. I like the sound of Bob, although we don't hear much about him, he sounds like a nice guy. Doing good whereever he goes.

Blue Collar Billionaire
by Amy Andrews

This is a quick, hot read that is full of vibrant chemistry between the characters. The author presents a romantic story that revolves around Holly, a dedicated ER doctor, and Danny, a drummer in a rock band who also works as the handyman in her apartment building. While their intimate moments are filled with passion and heat, I found myself wishing for more development in their relationship, particularly scenes that show Holly and Danny getting to know each other outside the bedroom.

While the story is enjoyable, enhancing the storyline could add depth and substance to the plot, which occasionally feels somewhat thin. The palpable chemistry between the main characters does a wonderful job of drawing readers in. Additionally, the billionaire plot twist, while intriguing, might be more impactful if it were woven more seamlessly into the overall story.

Holy Moly, that was HOT!! It sizzles from the off, with the romance coming later, and honestly, it was off the charts!
It's a super quick read, just under 200 pages, I definitely think it could be longer and explore more of the actual relationship post the billionaire unmasking, but I also loved it how it was, being able to read it in one evening.
I loved that Holly was a driven young woman, not prepared to let her dreams be sacrificed for anything. I think when she realised that her dreams could expand and include more of a life that this was a super important part of the story.
Danny was totally swoon worthy, the dirty mouth, the cooking, the footrubs! What a man, what a man, what a might good man!
I have read a few books by this author now and I think this was the spiciest by far!
If you like insta-burn hot, spicy scenes aplenty with a dirty talking man and a woman discovering her sexuality then you are going to love this!

Holly is a Dr who has no time for anything. Non existent work life balance. Then she meets Danny. He’s to hot super for the apartment she lives in. His step uncle is the regular super, he’s just there while his uncle is on holidays. Usually he just plays drums and floats along.
But when he meets Holly - and they get stuck in an elevator together - he starts to think he could change his ways.
I do like how Danny says that he will fit into Holly’s gaps. Ie her life is so hectic, he doesn’t mind just fitting in where she needs.
I don’t really understand why he likes her so much. She was so repressed and joyless.
And then Danny inherits 2 BILLION dollars. It is a little sad. And it’s not really explained how Bob had gathered so much. And apparently Danny had a business degree, but has never used it? Very bizarre.
Sexy times were pretty good. And Danny is the best book boyfriend I’ve read in a while. He is totally just there for Holly.

Holly is already finding it a challenge to balance school and working as an intern in the ER so adding a man into the mix is a commitment she can’t make. When a problem with the elevator in her apartment building leaves her and Danny stranded she gives into the attraction between them knowing that anything between them will end when they are rescued from the elevator.

Danny is also leading a busy life between trying to establish his drumming career while working maintenance to pay the pills. The attraction he has for Holly is unexpected but after spending some time with her he isn’t about to let her walk away. When he finds out he is the heir to a life changing inheritance his belief he is about to realize what really matters.

Fun and flirty I enjoyed the interactions between Holly and Danny as he showed her that she could have the career she wants and the love and life she deserves if she will open her heart to the possibilities and let him in.

This is a fun romance. It starts with our heroine Holly, being sure that the last thing she wants is any kind of time alone with Danny. Not because she doesn't like him, but because despite herself, she really really wants him. She's a busy doctor and has decided that she doesn't have time for a relationship, not even a brief liaison. When they get trapped in a lift together, it doesn't take long for a resolve to slip.
I really liked the interaction between Holly and Danny. Danny is such a sweetheart. He's considerate, caring and despite knowing what he wants from Holly, he doesn't push her beyond what she's comfortable with too soon.
This was a really entertaining read and one that I'd recommend.

Danny’s life changes dramatically!

ER doctor Holly Vincent just wanted a warm bed to sleep in during the blizzard after her long shift at the hospital. But the heat wasn’t working but the building super was gone on vacation and his nephew Danny Colton was filling in for Bob. Holly never intended to be stranded Danny in the elevator because she had always been attracted to Danny even when he annoyed her practicing his drumming for his band when she was trying to sleep after a late night shift. Holly and Danny being stranded leads to some sexy shenanigans in the elevator.

Amy Andrews changes it up with a doctor and drummer/handyman that realize that they want to be together even though Danny’s life changes dramatically during the book.

"Blue Collar Billionaire" by Amy Andrews is a fun and steamy romance about Holly, a busy ER intern, and Danny, her handyman neighbour. They get stuck together in a broken elevator, and what starts as a few hours of awkward fun turns into something more. Holly is focused on her tough job and doesn’t have time for dating, but Danny’s surprise inheritance as a secret billionaire changes everything. The story is about opposites attracting and learning that money alone can’t buy love.

I loved how the book mixes humor, heat, and real emotions. Holly and Danny’s chemistry is strong, and the story shows the challenges of balancing work, love, and surprises. It’s an easy, enjoyable read for anyone who loves romantic stories with funny moments and heartfelt connections. The characters feel real, and the romance builds nicely throughout the book.

Danny is the maintenance man, taking over from his Uncle while he is away on vacation. Holly is a busy ER intern. But when the two get stuck in a lift together, what happens in the lift, stays in the lift, and all rules are out.

But while Holly is brought back to her reality, Danny realises Holly is different and plans to break down her barriers, and make her realise that she can have a life outside of work.

Andrews gives us all the spice from the very first chapter. I love the banter between these two characters and how opposite they are. Holly's serious side, against Danny's playful one. But they have to work together to find the balance.

This was a really short read for me, and I managed to read this in one sitting. I adore this author and can happily say they are one of my go-to reads.

Holly is working all the hours to ensure her aspirations of becoming a doctor and helping people come into fruition.

Danny lives in the same apartment building and appears a carefree and laid back person which irritates Holly who needs things done yesterday. When she calls on him to fix something in her apartment, they are forced into close proximity and their curiosity about each other takes over.

Both characters have their own lives and very different circumstances but keep being drawn back into each other’s orbit.

If you like a bit of spice, you don’t have to wait long. But it is woven well into the story and feels natural and not forced. I loved the banter between the characters.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE
1. The billionaire plot twist was unnecessary. I would have preferred it if it had happened from the beginning

Overall, the book was a simple and easy read. I'd recommend it if you want no drama, just romance and vibes

As a busy ER intern, Holly Vincent doesn’t have time for extracurricular activities.
But when she’s stranded in a broken elevator for a few hours with irritatingly cocky, hotter-than-the-sun, downstairs neighbor Danny Colton, she decides to bend her rules and let the filthy-mouthed hottie talk her into having some fun.
This was a quick read, with lots of spicy hot chemistry. If you want to read a romantic story with lots of spice this is it. And normally I would enjoy it. But this time I would have liked a little more story with Holly and Danny spending time getting to know one another outside the bedroom.
The storyline is simple, a quick read and the best part - the hero caring and totally swoon worthy.

A fun, spicy romance about a dedicated ER doctor and her apartment building handyman. I loved their romance, skirting around the fact that Holly said she wasn’t interested but her actions were a responding yes! Danny is your typical blue collar man, no nonsense and even when his fortunes change, he’s still the same man. How Holly and Danny worked things out, was icing on the cake.

A quick spicy romance. About an overworked ER doctor and a temporary handyman/drummer.

On a cold, snowy night the heat goes out in her apartment and she needs Danny to fix it. Before it can be fixed they get trapped in the elevator for two hours. Those hours turn into chemistry that they can’t forget.

She is determined to forget it ever happened and Danny is trying to prove her wrong.

If you like a romantic read that is very steamy then Amy Andrews is definitely an author to read! Holly Vincent is an ER Intern who doesn’t give herself anytime for anything but work. Drummer by day Danny Colton is covering as maintenance where Holly lives. When they get stuck in the elevator together the sexual tension becomes too hard to ignore. Holly is taken out of her comfort zone and what follows is hot!! It’s a story about two people who are drawn to each other but it’s complicated. For me, alongside the very steamy explicit scenes, this is a story that has funny, sad and emotional moments. A great read

This was a quick enjoyable read, but I found myself wanting more form it. The first 30% is all elevator shenanigans and I was wishing for more plot. Which I am happy I got, but this plot required some major character development (IMO) before getting to a HEA, and I felt like it was really rushed.

Holly and Danny were great together. Holly is an ER Resident with a crazy schedule and Danny is a drummer in a band and interim superintendent for their apartment building. Danny is super sweet and understanding with her crazy ER schedule and he takes care of her when she’s not feeling well.

Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood Book for an advanced copy.

Blue Collar Billionaire is busy ER intern, Holly Vincent and her cocky neighbour Danny Colton’s witty, fun and entertaining story. I loved everything about this book from the witty banter to sizzling chemistry and everything in between.
Danny is a drummer by night and maintenance man by day and when he gets stuck in the elevator with prudish Holly he decides to show her what she is missing……
This is a well written, entertaining and witty read but it’s also has depth and emotion and I loved it. It hit all the feels for me and i quickly became invested in the story as I found myself cheering Danny and Holly on.

Holly has always had the hots for Danny, the building supervisor’s nephew, which is why she always tries to avoid him – as a busy ER doctor she doesn’t have time for dalliances! But the night her heating doesn’t work, and she needs to call on him for help, the elevator breaks down and an interesting encounter ensues.

This is a fun, light-hearted read at the start but as their relationship develops both Danny and Holly show their deeper feelings about what they want. Danny’s unexpected inheritance causes problems for them and Danny must work out what is important to both of them for their future.

Thanks to Net Galley and Boldwood Books for an ARC for my honest review.
