Debt Ridden
Billie's parents are about to lose the family ranch—and the brooding, mysterious landowner to whom they pay the mortgage, is notorious for showing no mercy to his tenants. But Billie doesn't back down from a challenge and she holds the ultimate bargaining chip. Her body.
Knox doesn't get visitors and that's the way he likes it. Imagine his surprise when his tenant's daughter comes knocking and offers herself in exchange for debt forgiveness. He needs to say no. Something about this girl gets under Knox's skin and he doesn't do love. But turning down the offer of a lifetime is easier said than done...

Yeah I wouldn’t mind ‘paying rent’ to a sexy, brooding landlord who’s obsessed with me, either.🥵 Spunky Billie made me laugh. She’s well-matched in her negotiations with Daddy Landlord, who keeps failing to convince her he’s a bad guy. 👌

Oooh how I exhaled with a sigh of relief and contentment when I read this one..
Jessa Kane kept me Enthralled, Engaged, and Enjoying this book from start to finish.
Oh how I've missed these type of penned stories from Ms. Kane..
Knox is hot. Period. But he has some deep demons and trust issues from beyond.. So as decadent and wickedly hot & wet as this tale is, Knox is NOT easy by any means. But he is so worth it! I promise. Dude is beyond beautiful & capable. Those deep green eyes and what he can do with that mouth, got a Sista like 🥵🥵.. What he can also do with a gun and a punching bag?🥵🥵🥵
Billie, I really loved her. She was sweet innocence with that perfect touch of sexy-beautiful that renders any man stupid. But she had some grit and backbone to her. And what she does for the sake of her family legacy and why, I had to give her respect on that. That choice and decision could not have been easy to make and follow through with. Especially when she realized her heart was on the table as well..
Hearing a little bit about Knox's past keeps you intrigued here. But I love how grumpy he was, while still being sweet. I love that he knows when he has truly crossed a line and does not delay in making it right. He does the grovel thing spectacularly well..🤭🤭
Knox and Billie's ending was superb! I loved their Epilogue too.😍
I truly believed that they were a true Love😍 & Lust🥵 match..
At the time this review was posted, this book was free on KU or $1.99 to purchase.
Would I recommend?=YESYESYES!!😂
Spice?=🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
MCs?=Yin & lots of Yang
Plot/Plight?=4.5

OMG this is soooo Jessa Kane – but I had a hilarious problem with this one.
Billie Prosper (18, virgin) learns her family is in debt and might lose their farm to the grumpy rancher on the hill. The only thing she has of value is her virginity, so she starts up the mountain to make a trade.
Knox Morgan (35, millionaire rancher) likes living alone simply because he hates people. Despite her sexiness, he doesn’t have any interest in taking her up on what she’s offering.
A tempting taste, a ridiculous rescue, a jackass, an apology, and then an HEA.
There’s a good Daddy kink, plus a breeding kink. I was here for all of it.
Oh, I also liked Billie because she did the exact same things I would have done.
ISSUE: Now y’all know I love JK, and I’m very lenient in all of her fics, but COME ON!!!! Even though this doesn’t really affect the story, I’ll still put it under spoiler.
“When I’m inside of you, I want to be your fucking world. When you moan beneath me, I’m the one giving you life…”

“Debt Ridden” is the story of Billie and Knox.
Our heroine is young and determined to tame the wild, brooding man who her family owes debt to. She offers him her body, but soon ends up losing her heart. There’s loads of sex, some hurtful words followed by profuse apology, daddy play, and a happy ending.
Enjoyed it
Safe

Not as satisfying as my previous Jessa Kane book though. I would say this one would fall in the middle of ranking for my JK list. Not crazy fun nor boring as hell. It was mid.
It looks like Hefty was really one of a kind, a lightning in the bottle.

Age gap
Virgin FMC
Insta-love
Touch her and die

A new favorite Jessa Kane novella.
Strong willed girlie who is just trying to save her farm sells her virginity to a grumpy ex con. What’s not to like?

Holy hotness! Will definitely be reading again. In my top 5 Jessa Kane novellas! Jessa never disappoints, but this one felt like so much more than 90 pages in a good way!
Billie is a naive 18, almost 19 year old that lives on a ranch with her Parents. Billie isn’t well versed in the opposite sex, but judging by the way the ranch hands look at her she thinks she’s at least a little attractive (5’2”, bright blue eyes, long brown hair).
Billie overhears her Parents one night worried about losing their ranch. They owe their new landlord about $30,000. Billie thinks about how she hears crude comments about herself from the ranch hands and thinks maybe she can buy her family some time/pay off their debt by offering her virginity to the landlord.
Billie rides up the mountain one day to proposition Knox Morgan. She shows up in skin tight jeans, a white tank top with no bra, and cowboy boots.
Knox is freaking out because he likes to be alone, but he has been watching Billie from his house with binoculars. Now seeing her up close he is embarrassed and hoes she’s at least 18. Knox likes to be alone because he was abandoned or sold out by everyone important in his life. His made family let him take the fall for trying to collect a debt and he did prison time. Knox made his fortune by gambling on a riverboat casino. He’s 35 years old, tall, dark, and rugged.
Knox actually greeted Billie with a gun (unloaded)
Billie doesn’t bat an eye and goes into Knox’s house uninvited and takes her shirt off. Knox is practically drooling, but she mistakes his control as disinterest.
Billie and Knox end up kissing and he freaks out because she makes him feel. He declines her offer, but watches over her. He sees a ranch hands following Billie and at first he thinks maybe it’s a secret rendezvous, but sees that this man has bad intentions and kills him.
Knox said he will take Billie’s offer, but he wants her for a week and he wants to be called Daddy.
She gets too close, he hurts her and she never wants to see him again. He shows up to her 19th birthday dinner that he was previously invited to with the deed to her farm and a mare she had been wanting.
She moves in with him that night and she is already pregnant.
5 years later they have Julia and Colt. They are obsessed with each other still and live HEA!

MMC is a grumpy mean asshole who has a self-pity problem
FMC is a pathetic doormat
“You can’t think like that.
You were born to be alone.
You’re safe from pain and betrayal alone.
Don’t buy into the fantasy.”
“Just a quick, crude fuck to breed a female. Nothing more.”
“You like me?” I scoff. “What is this, second grade?” I hate how that embarrasses her, those cheeks smarting with pink. On account of my biting words. I am a snake. “Don’t be mean to me because you’re scared.” Bullseye. “You’re here to get on your back and let me fuck you. That’s it.”

Jessa Kane shorts are always good for me though this one felt a little sweeter and less dirty than some of the really dirty ones I love. (Don't worry, it still has some good dirty heat tho! lol) I liked the heroine's attitude in this one, and how she wouldn't give up on the cranky hero. Very mild Daddy talk... I think... so mild I don't even really remember if it existed or not. But age gap, virgin h, insta, yadda yadda.

Billie and Knox
I don't know how to feel about this one. It's not my favorite.
I waited a few days to start it and it was interesting but the conflict that they had towards the end didn't sit well with me. Also, he was the type of mean that would turn everyone off. Billie was likeable but very naive. Knox was misunderstood in a way that drew Billie on more and more. Their relationship was fine I guess.

What just happened?!
I rarely write book reviews (unless the editing is so bad I have to comment on the number of grammatical mistakes) but I just had to tell someone, anyone, that this book just rocked my world. I read it start to finish without stopping, and now I’m sad it’s over because I want more, more, more!
Jessa Kane’s books get right to the spice (oh, the spice!) in a believable way, and this book is no exception. While, of course, the plot seems like a bit of a stretch at first glance, Jessa’s writing has you convinced it’s real-life from page one.
Seriously, I can’t say enough how I have all the feels right now. I’m a sucker for an age-gap, virginity-bargaining romance (obviously, a well-loved trope), this had all the bells and whistles, and then some. The virgin heroine wasn’t too stupid to understand what an orgasm was (small miracles), her sassy comebacks showed backbone, and she stood up for herself.
How can Jessa Kane pack this much depth into 90 pages?! Love, love, love! Do yourself a favor and One-click right now!
