Funny, Twisted And Heartwarming!
Where to start? The series to this book keeps getting better and better and more confusing at the same time (BEWARE OF SPOILERS) First off Will doesn't know what he wants to do with Ella then he FINALLY starts to think about it, Ella on the other hand knows exactly what she wants but then they have that fight and sends her right into his SON arms and Will never even told her he had one! Their situation will have you frustrated but happy at the same time and also lots of laughing at the things they say. This book is as amazing as the last, great, CHARMING read!

This is the fourth in the series, I am still enjoying it even if I do think a trilogy would have been better just so the books could be that little bit longer.
I am not entirely sure if Will is stupid or just likes causing unnecessary problems as the whole scenario in this book could have been solved not by him forbidding people but just telling people why.
Regardless, I do enjoy these books and how the characters interact well with one another.
Ben was a new character and I think it is sweet he got to have the heart to heart with Will. I hope we see more of him.
Overall, a fun read which was short and sweet. I cannot wait to read the last one!

My score hasn't changed throughout reading this series, each book is a great read and the characters are becoming more interesting as they interact with each other but I'm unsure why they were put into so many short stories instead of 1 fabulous book. I love the banter between the main characters and Ben is a character that stands out too, I hope he's in the final book.

Ella has no idea what to do as her heart is hurting, even though she fell for Will she still believes that it's her fault as she knows that she should never have let him get in the way. Now whilst she is at work she can't bear to be in the same room as his personal assistant Emily or himself so for a few weeks she has been sitting in the hotel café doing her work but even when Will does ring her to check where she has been hiding she still can't let herself give into him. The next thing that happens is that a young attractive guy walks into the hotel and she can't help but stare as there is something about him that is familiar but she can't seem to work out what it is. But when he heads over to her table he is very talkative and very full on and even though she is trying to get her work done she still responds very politely.
Later on whilst Ella is working she has a phone call and the last person she was expecting to call her was Ben, the guy that she met in the café, she is shocked but a bit angry to learn that he has her number as she didn't say he could have it. So when he keeps on being so persistent about having lunch with her and she sees Will walking by her desk she can't help but accept Ben's invitation in order to make Will jealous.
When Will hears of this he can't believe that she has already moved on so quickly so he decides to see who she is planning on going to lunch with but when he sees that it's his own son he can hardly believe what he's seeing. He decides that later on when she gets back he's going to have a word with her and make sure that she keeps her distance from Ben, however that doesn't exactly go to plan as when he tells her that he forbids her to see him she puts up a fight stating that he can't control who she see's considering he doesn't want the same things that she does.
Whilst Ella and Ben had lunch he reveals that in a way he knows the boss but doesn't exactly be upfront about the fact that Will's his dad so later on after a conversation with Jackie she decides to go on a date with Ben and this is where we find out his last name. So when she hears that it's the same as Will's she has no idea what she is feeling and heads home, but the next day she sees Ben again and explains what went on and actually reveals what she actually wants but when Ben storms into his dad's office it's not what Will was expecting.
Will Ben be able to get through to his dad about Ella and make him see that she is worth something more than just a casual fling or will he just ignore what his son says and just continue to do what it is he has been doing. Also what will happen now that Ella knows that Ben is Will's son, will she find it even more awkward to work with Will or will she try and put everything aside and focus on her career.
The only way to know is to read this book, the fact that there is only one more left in the series after this, just shows that things are getting interesting and I am so looking forward to know how this series will end. I am so hoping that Will will manage to get his act together and go after Ella who is purely the girl of his dreams.

After reading the Tempted series by this author, Hazel Kelly, I can say I'm a huge fan. She has a way of writing that sucks me into the storyline and I'm not aware of anything until I've reached the last page. This book was my favorite out of the series so far, but from how this book ended, I have a feeling the fifth and last book is going to be my favorite! Outstanding addition to the series.
Ella knows breaking things off with her older boss, Will, was for the best, but she still is struggling with her decision. She truly cares for Will, but since he's made it perfectly clear that he does not feel the same, she knows nothing can come out of being with him. She's hoping that a new, handsome stranger will be enough to get her mind, and maybe her heart, off of Will.
When Ella walked out on Will, for what she said would be the last time, he's conflicted. He feels something for Ella, that much is true, but he isn't sure he could give her anything besides sex. Relationships and love can become messy, he knows that from experience, so he doesn't see the problem with keeping things strictly physical. No romance or love allowed. Until he sees Ella with a man who's close to him. He finds himself, shockingly, overcome with jealousy but doesn't know what to do with it.
He makes it known to Ella how he feels about her dating this man but will it be enough? Will his emotional actions finally make him admit how he really feels about Ella, or will his reaction drive her away from him. But this time, forever?
Finally! The mighty Will realizes how much of an idiot he's been acting like for the past three books and figures out his true feelings for Ella. I've been waiting forever for him to realize he's the problem in their relationship, not her. He's finally owning up to his faults and errors and I'm elated! I love his character throughout the series, by the way. More so now.
The events that happened in the book between Ella and Will were both infuriating and satisfying. I'm now trying to wait patiently for the last book in this series!
I highly recommend this book and this series!
My favorite quotes:
"My gut felt completely twisted. How could I have been such an idiot? I wasn't the only one who could see how special she was. I wasn't the only one that craved her attention. She sparkled for everyone."
"Can I just say first that any guy who would let you get away is a goddamn fool and a waste of your time?"
"I don't know what your problem is. All I know is that is a girl that perfect cared about me, I wouldn't f*ck it up by taking her for granted."

STARS: 5
POV: First
SERIES: Yes
CLIFFHANGER: Yes
What do you have when you have two extremely hard headed people sticking to their guns and not willing to bend one inch for the other? You have Will and Ella! Ella admitted to Will that she has feelings for him and Will basically threw those feelings in her face. He is not willing to give Ella anything of himself except a physical relationship. Ella is not willing to continue with their arrangement knowing she will end up falling in love with Will and shattered at the end of it all. So Ella does the only thing possible in this situation: she walks away from it.
Now since they still work together, Ella is doing everything in her power to avoid Will until she can get her feelings in check. In the meantime a very handsome stranger walks into Ella's life. Deciding she needs a distraction from her constant thoughts of Will, she goes out with the stranger. When I found out who the stranger was, I busted out laughing. It wasn't written to be funny but Oh the irony! I couldn't help but to laugh at the situation. How did I not see that coming? Perfect twist to the story! And their date, I could not wait for Will to find out where they went and what they did!!!!
What is our Will going to do now that he has competition for Ella? Will he step up to the plate and finally admit the feelings he has been denying the whole time or will he bow out gracefully allowing Ella the chance to find what he is not willing to offer her?
I have to say that I believe this has been my favorite volume in the series. We get to see Will unravel a little and lose that hard shell of control he clings to so dearly. The plot twist in the book had me desperate to see how things were going to play out. I loved how they unfolded before me. One more volume and we get to finally see if Ella will get her HEA and if so, then with who? I'm giddy at the possibility though I'm going to miss this series.
The book is well written and I have never been more thankful to get both Ella and Will's point of view. Being inside Will's head as he slowly unravels was a great place to be. I loved it. If you haven't read the series, go 1-click today and get caught up before the conclusion to this amazing series comes out. I personally cannot wait to see what is next for Will and Ella!!

f you have not read books 1-3 read those before reading book 4 or you will be all out of whack. This is easily one of my favorite billionaire series. Why because they don't just screw and that is it. they actually fall in love with each other, get to know each other. This book starts out with Will's son Ben hitting on Ella and she had no idea that he is Will's son and he has no idea that his dad has been seeing Ella either. Man on Man this could go so many ways of wrong....But Will is working so hard to try to get her to see he really is a changed man will she believe him or not? You have to read this book and go into book 5 to find out

This series keeps getting better and better! Hazel Kelly you are turning me into an obsessed fan of Will's.
I do feel bad for Will......I don't think I would do anything different. I mean he is successful and very weathly.....and his ex-wife did a number on him.
Ella is so like me.....she loves and she loves hard. I really like how she handled Ben and she told him the truth! She truly genuinely loves this fool.
I loved Twisted by the Boss.......and holy mother of pearl I hate to love cliff hangers......but I have to say I love how Ben came to his father.....bonus points for Ben!!

So Ella called things off because she wanted more but will didn't want a relationship. Ella got asked out by a guy and later she finds out it is wills son, Ben. Ben finds out the truth and so does Ella. But Ella breaks it off with Ben because of will which she told Ben about. Now Ben confronts his father and has a heart to heart conversation. I think will is realizing he wants more with Ella but doesn't know how to go about it. So he asked Ben how he would be able to win over Ella. Let's see if he does.

Loving it
This series has me reading as fast as I can to see what happens next. I'm curious if Ella would have been more suited for Ben, if they had met first. I'm glad Will is coming to his senses.

This one had five stars written all over it. Loved it! Ella and Ben start off the story and I was thinking train wreck...lol. Poor Will.. Having to watch Ella walk off with his son on a date and neither of them knew. Justice prevails and I hope he was going crazy. I just loved it. The angst was perfect, and the author did a great job making me wonder what's next? Overall entertainment is five stars!

Hmmmm
It's kinda just going round a little now and what lad that's been hot for a lass, that finds out she's been with his dad would encourage said dad to go after the girl. Especially since she's more his age. But one more book to go, so I'm eager to see if it can pull it back a bit. And just how old is Will? I must of missed it

Gah
My heart, just gash!! I love the ending to this one. I questioned Ben's motives in the beginning, but I'm glad it didn't turn out the way I thought it would. Book 5, let's good!
