He was meant to be a job. One dance made him something far more dangerous.
I never planned to fall for Nicolas Sainz — billionaire, powerbroker, and the man I was supposed to deceive. But when our paths collided at his glittering Christmas gala, one touch was all it took to unravel everything I thought I knew about control.
He’s sharp, commanding, temptation in a tailored suit… and utterly forbidden.
The deeper I fall into his world, the harder it is to tell where the lies end and the truth begins.
Because behind the champagne and city lights, danger is closing in — and Nicolas might be the only man who can save me.
Or destroy me.
Your Billionaire’s Gift is a steamy, high-stakes Christmas romance with espionage, obsession, and a happily ever after hotter than mulled wine by the fire. For readers who like their festive fantasies laced with danger, dominance, and diamond-cut devotion.
If you're looking for a quick, seasonal, spicy Christmas read, you've found it. Although it's a short read, it's got a little bit of everything available from chemistry to banter, action to suspense. Vaguely reminds me of Fifty Shades of Grey. 🤔 🤷🏻♀️
A strong independent woman, making her own choices, and honest about her own decisions.
An enigmatic billionaire who offers help without strings, and empowers her to live freely and without shame.
Your Billionaire's Gift finds Holly with an impossible choice – betray the company she works for, and Nicolas, the boss, who is offering her a way out, or follow through on her assignment and save her parents.
Holly is a fantastic protagonist. She is fiercely loyal to her family, she loves them deeply, and she will move heaven and earth to keep them safe. She's no damsel-in-distress. When push comes to shove, she will push back just as hard, and holds her own with quick thinking and action.
I very quickly found myself loving Holly, and the way she takes charge as best as she can, within dangerous situations. I really hope we see more of her (and her billionaire beau).
The writing is strong and brilliantly paced. The dialogue is sharp – self-aware and with hints of humour dropped throughout, making Holly and Nicolas very real people. The descriptions are vivid: I felt like I was standing under the towering, shimmering Christmas trees, and tasting the sumptuous meals.
The spice is also excellently handled. It's vivid without being adult-film graphic (don't get me wrong, we see and hear it all), yet it resonates because we are there with the characters and understand their emotions and reasons.
I really don't want to say much more, except that I believe this is Lacey Buckle's finest work yet.
I received an advance copy, and this is my honest review.
