Beachfront Billionaire

by Olivia T. Turner

You’d think my cousin’s destination wedding in the Caribbean would be paradise.

But you haven’t met my family.

Loud, drunk, and just trashy enough to keep me in a permanent state of secondhand embarrassment.

It’s going to be a week from hell.

An unexpected upgrade to first class feels like my only escape.

But there’s no escaping the man sitting next to me.

Adrian Drake.

Forty-two.

Tall, broad, and handsome in a way that could cure anyone’s fear of flying.

He radiates money, confidence, and control.

And I’m instantly captivated.

He invites me to ditch my family and spend the week with him at The Aurelia, the most luxurious hotel on Isla Verdanza.

I should say no.

But one look at him and I know I’d follow this man anywhere.

This was supposed to be my cousin’s wedding week.

Now it feels like my honeymoon.

Maybe paradise isn’t a place after all…

Maybe it’s sitting beside me at thirty thousand feet, wearing a devastating smile and calling me his.




Maya wanted paradise and she got it with a hot billionaire on the beach. But Adrian Drake is the kind of paradise you don’t come back from. This hot, dirty-talking silver fox is not a vacation. He’s forever.


An irresistible age-gap, beach read set at the luxurious Aurelia Hotel - where billionaires get everything they desire.

SAFE, no cheating, and a sweet HEA.

“Beachfront Billionaire” is the story of Maya and Adrian.

Age gap, insta love romance between a couple who meet on a vacation and fall in love. There’s loads of smut, and no angst, with a detailed epilogue.

Safe
3.5/5

*H- 42, no mention of past relationships/ h-24, virgin
*No OW/OM drama
*Safe Read
*HEA.

Fate brought Adrian and Maya together and sparks flew! I loved how Adrian knew he needed Maya immediately and made his feelings known. I was happy that she didn't fight him on it, as she was drawn to him as well. Everything you need is in this story!!!

When you read an Olivia T. Turner book, you know you’re getting over-the-top fun. The couple in this particular book is Adrian and Maya, who meet after Maya is bumped up to First Class on an airplane. Instalove, OTT style. Maya’s family is heading to the wedding from hell, between her drunken, black-sheep cousin and an even drunker groom, both of whom are less than classy, as is the whole wedding adventure. When Adrian hears that Maya is staying at the worst hotel on the island, he gives her his card (and his kisses) and offers for her to stay with him.
Maya has a busy life working for a nonprofit, and Adrian has a busy life being obscenely rich. Yet they fall in love immediately and there is much bow-chicka-wow-wow which is really the focus of the story. This one wasn’t my favorite- it seemed more about the sexytime and the money than about the Instalove. Plus there was a bit that I definitely did not like where she tells him she can’t live with him without being engaged to him, HINT HINT. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Still, the bow-chicka-wow-wow was very hot and the descriptions were very vivid. I especially liked the description of the sand on their private beach, and simultaneously laughed and cringed when the woman at the crummy hotel scratched her g-string-clad butt with the communal salad tongs (which was the deciding factor for Maya to go stay with Adrian in luxury).
Book is SAFE. There is NO CHEATING in an Olivia T. Turner.
Heat is EXPLICIT, featuring the usual VIRGIN HEROINE and a BREEDING KINK.
NO TRIGGERS (except the bandaid in the pool)
TROPES include Billionaire, Instalove, Vacation Romance, Designer Gowns, and Strangers to Lovers.

'Ours eyes connect and it’s like a jolt in my chest. He doesn’t look away. He just stands there and stares like he’s seeing something special for the first time.'

The disaster of this wedding trip from the moment this book started... it's the kind of situation where you cover your face with your hands to shield yourself from the sight, but then peek through your fingertips because you can't miss the drama. It was OTT and hilarious, and I expected nothing less form Olivia T. Turner. Lucky for Maya, an upgrade to first class- and meeting the most gorgeous man she's ever seen- immediately starts turning her trip around. For Adrian, his trip wasn't starting out too well either (rich people problems, so I don't feel bad! lol), until he sat next to an angel and fell in love.

I absolutely loved this book! Great world building and wonderful characters. I loved both Adrian and Maya. It was adorable how easily they flirted together, and how immediate their connection. The chemistry between them was scorching. Lucky girl had the ultimate dream vacation. I was completely hooked to their story. By the way, Maya's dad was my favorite supporting character. So much of his personality came through and I laughed [at his expense] more often than not. I realllllly hope this is made into an audiobook someday because I'm dying to listen to it! One of my favorites from Olivia T. Turner! 5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Paradise, passion, and a possessive billionaire who makes you forget the world!

Beachfront Billionaire is everything I love about Olivia T. Turner’s books—intense chemistry, a swoony alpha hero, and a heroine who finds herself swept away in the best possible way. Maya’s dread over her chaotic family trip quickly turns into pure fantasy the moment she meets Adrian Drake, the commanding, confident billionaire who’s equal parts charm and danger.

Their connection crackles from that first airplane encounter—every glance and word charged with heat and anticipation. Adrian’s possessive tenderness and Maya’s mix of hesitation and desire make their whirlwind romance both addictive and deeply satisfying.

Set against the backdrop of a sun-soaked Caribbean paradise, this story delivers all the escapist magic you could hope for: luxury, longing, and love that feels inevitable.

If you love steamy billionaire romances with protective heroes, independent heroines, and a dose of island heat—Beachfront Billionaire is your perfect escape!.

This was a fun series opener that lacks none of this author's OTT romance themes ;P Billionaire Adrian is not impressed with how everything seemed to work against him and he had to fly commercial to his vacay location. Upon seeing his seatmate, Maya, though, he decides fate was telling him something and he better listen hard ;) Maya was beyond stoked to get a free seat upgrade to escape her cousin's wedding party on their way to a 1 star resort. What follows is a whirlwind romance where Adrian doesn't hold anything back to get the girl of his dreams. Although Maya's caution held her back, her heart wouldn't let her and they both got the HEA of their dreams. Expect to feel the heat, and giggle away at Maya's family's antics, when you dive into this spicy read. I can't wait for the next book ;D

Hot and intense - fabulous! This fast paced insta-romance was a joy to read. Adrian and Maya were the perfect couple. She's so relateable, and while he's filthy rich, he is surprisingly humble and well centered (gorgeous too, but who's noticing😉). After a coincidental (or fateful) meeting, OTT indulges them, and readers, in a blissful week long bubble of exploration. Written so that the reader is more participant than observer, it's easy to get wrapped up in their happiness. As with all things, the week must end, and OTT ensures we know just how Adrian and Maya's story plays out before she cuts us readers loose. She's one of my favorite authors for quick romance and this story exemplifies all the reasons why. Enjoy!!.

Private Beach.
Incredible. Maya is on her way to her trashy cousin’s destination wedding and at seven-thirty in the morning the alcohol is already flowing. The bride can’t walk straight, the groom doesn’t want to sit with the bride and the whole wedding party is acting like they’re at a frat house. And then the bride informs her that the whole family is sitting together? Thankfully, there was a mishap on the previous flight and Maya gets bumped up to first class. Adrian is stuck taking this cheap airline, by CHEAP he doesn’t mean price, when his private jet encounters mechanical problems. Fate is a strange thing and the stewardess already thinks Maya and Adrian are a couple on their honeymoon. What will the week hold for these two passengers?.

From the start I found myself chuckling away. Maya’s family or should I say cousin and husband to be made me cry and laugh and that was only in the first page. I could hear her dad’s raised eyebrow from the start. But lucky for her she sits next to Adrian.
Ohh wow the attraction and chemistry from the start is off the charts. He a billionaire and Maya first time in first class and working for a nonprofit.
Let’s say when Maya stays with Adrian all steam , chemistry and romance ahead. Adrian knows he has found his forever and just needs Maya to release he is hers.
Humour, romance, family, chemistry and spice. Perfect.

Maya and Adrian's story is beautifully romantic and amazingly steamy. I love a man who knows when he has met the person he is meant to spend the rest of his life with and how he makes certain it happens.

Adrian is charming, respectful and doesn't hold back his feelings. Maya is cautious, but gets swept away by Adrian's attention and adoration until she has to listen to her heart. Their romance will make you melt, knees go weak and your blood heat up.

Olivia T. Turner is a master at giving us a sexy romantic story with characters that pull you into their orbit and keep you there all the way to their happily ever after.

Sweet Travel Romance

Another great story!

I love this author, she has truly become one of my favorites. This book was a short but oh so sweet instalove story. Almost too unrealistic at times but that is my only complaint. However, there was no drama in this story so if you don’t enjoy uber happy, fairy tale type books you definitely need to read! There was tons of spice, which was great, but I wish there was more character building and moments where you could see their connection, like in the beginning, when they meet on the plan. Idk just my thoughts! Still loved it though. Olivia’s books are always so good. I thoroughly enjoy!

This is book number 1 of the The Empire Suite series and focuses on Adrian and Maya. Maya has been actively dreading the destination wedding for her cousin due to her overly embarrassing family. When she unexpectedly gets an upgrade to first class on her flight, the last thing she expects to find is her forever. Adrian meets Maya and immediately knows what she is to him. Their connection is instant and Adrian knows that he can't let her go. That flight leads Adrian and Maya to make very important decisions on what they both want in life. This was a great story and a great start to the series.

This was a great story. I loved every second of it. Maya is going on a destination wedding with her family. By luck, her ticket was upgraded to first class where she meets Adrian. They have an amazing time on the flight. When the wedding is called off by the time Maya makes it to the hotel, she takes a leap into the unknown. She calls Adrian who immediately makes arrangements to come stay at his hotel. Adrian knew that she was the one by the time the airplane landed. He just needs to convince her that they were meant to be. Will she fall in love with him by the end of the week?

4.5 Stars-This was a short but very hot read. I really enjoyed Adrian and Maya's connection and chemistry. All it took was one look at Maya and Adrian knew he found his forever, he just need to get Maya to fall for him too. These two were really sweet together and I loved how Adian spoiled Maya with riches but still loved her in sweatpants and a t-shirt. I am really looking forward to more from these series soon.

Age gap. Cute and hot. An OTT story, that I really enjoyed.
Maya gets an upgrade on a flight where Adrian wasn’t supposed to be if it wasn’t for technical issues with his private jet. He falls first, but they both fall hard for each other.
Loved both epilogues!

~……—but my favorite thing we’ve ever built is our rock solid relationship. The foundation is stronger than concrete and I just know in my heart it will never break.~ (Maya).

“Beachfront Billionaire” by Olivia T. Turner

-A fast-paced, steamy romance that brings humor and heart from the very first page. I received a free copy and am voluntarily sharing my honest thoughts.

Maya’s down-to-earth charm meets Adrian’s confident intensity in a whirlwind of attraction and warmth. Their chemistry is instant, their connection undeniable, and the tropical setting amplifies every spark.

A fun, spicy, feel-good love story that I enjoyed. It is not what I expected from the dark cover.

[J.p · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing love at first sight read with humour, romance and plenty of steam to keep us warm on these cold nights. Maya is travelling with her parents to her cousins wedding ( the bride and groom to be are a delight 😂NOT but provides a lot of humour) lucky for her shes upgraded to first class where she meets and falls for Adrian. Adrian is older, a billionaire and an old round great guy, soon they are besotted with each other but can a holiday romance last forever?. This book has everything OTT is known for and I loved it. Great characters and a wonderful insight into their future.

[Aspen G · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beachfront Billionaire is hot and spicy sweetness with hilarious family shenanigans and a dreamy instalove. Adrian falls instantly and hard for Maya, who is kind and innocent and so giving. I adore how he pursues her and takes everything at her pace, then goes feral for her when she says she is ready. As per OTT tradition, the characters are over the top in every way and so much fun to follow. And the epilogue is top notch!

This is the story of Maya and Adrian. They meet by chance when Maya is going to her cousin's wedding, something she wasn't really looking forward to. But because her ticket was unexpectedly upgraded to first class, that's where she meets Adrian. From that moment on, Adrian knows she's the one he wants and will do anything to get her. A wonderfully romantic story, a bit of a slow burn that keeps your attention. He's charming, and his persistence ensures that he eventually gets what he wants: Maya.

Maya is going to a cousins wedding, and it is a trainwreck. When she is bumped into first class she is sitting next to Adrian. Adrian was supposed to be on his private plan and had mechanical issues. They spend 4 hours getting to know one another. He is thrilled when the wedding falls through and Maya decides to remain at the resort with Adrian. It is a great read, and I laughed and smiled as I read it. I love OTT and her stories always draw me in. I am thrilled at a new series. You will not be disappointed in this story.

Wowsa this book is a fast insta love story that will definitely have you engrossed from the beginning until the end and still left wanting more. It's the first book in the Empire Suite series where Maya and her family on their way to wedding when she meets Adrian who sits next to on the the plane but can he convince her to stay? Absolutely loved it.

This story is the perfect fantasy. A poor girl meets a billionaire, and they fall for each other instantly. I loved it! Maya meets Adrian on a flight, not knowing he's a billionaire. When her situation changes, Adrian steps in and begins making all her dreams come true. This is a low-drama, high-heat short book. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.

I think I got a toothache just from how sweet they are. Joking aside, I really enjoyed the adorable romance between our MCs and how they've kept that love shining bright into their future. The MMC loves the FMC so deeply that he's giving her the world on a plate. Truly, such a kind of man is rare to come by.

2.5 stars ⭐️ who wouldn’t mind meeting a hot billionaire on a plane who instantly falls in love with you?
(Possible spoilers ahead)

It’s a short book. H and h meet on a plane and they have a week full of smex. She’s a V and he develops a breeding kink.

I did laugh a lot in the beginning with h’s dumpster fire family. That’s how I bet my family would be/act for a destination wedding. 😂😂

I do have to say that this is the first time I’ve read an epilogue where it was 30 years later.

Perky charity worker and a billion of flying sparks

A charity worker heading to a crazy drinking sloppy drunk family wedding. On the way and by fate meeting this billionaire. Sparks fly from both of them onto the same island. Circumstances give them a second time to lock down there forever. Wonderful writing, introducing lives they lived before. Ending sweet and fulfills my reading heart. Good strong and a full-filling ending.

Age Is Just A Number

This is a hot little place with a hot little girl who starts a hot little romance, with a very hot older billionaire instead of the wedding she was supposed to attend for her cousin that never did take place! Why you ask! Because the vas majority of the wedding party is drunk on their collective asses! Ten the bride and groom have a huge fight and call cpoff the wedding!

I'm a huge fan of Olivia T Turner's books. If she writes it I'll read it. Loved this over the top billionaire story. Adrian is a sexy older billionaire where Maya is a sweet innocent younger woman who works at a non profit for kids. I enjoyed their story and how fast they fell. Good start to a new series.
