The Billionaire's Masquerade

About the author
Jeannette Winters
100 books352 followersJeannette grew up in a large family, number ten out of eleven children, eight of them being older brothers. She quickly developed a great sense of humor, mostly from necessity. One of her greatest joys is sitting on the porch where they were all raised and hearing the stories from years gone by. Quietly laughing to herself, she notices how they embellish the stories more and more each year.
Storytelling was passed down from her grandfather and mother. Jeannette caught the bug at a very young age. If she didn’t have her head in a book, then she was off somewhere with a notebook, jotting down stories of what she would write if one day she became an author. Although the notebook may have vanished, the stories are still vivid and waiting for the right time to be told.
Despite having an amazing family, there have also been some sorrows in her life, including the loss of loved ones. Over the years, Jeannette has spent countless hours volunteering for different organizations and acting as a caregiver to those dearest to her. As a result, supporting the elderly became of utmost importance.
As she approached a milestone birthday in 2015, she decided to take her passion for writing and blend it with her desire to continue to help others. As she writes her stories, she hopes they touch someone’s life. Within the layers of the romance, the foundation remains throughout and is one that is dear to her; make a difference in someone’s life each day!
In 2016 she met someone who encouraged her to push herself even further and try her hand at spicy intrigue. One year later she has four books in this new series and each one pushing her limits just a bit further.
Like the wind, Jeannette’s life changed directions several times over the years, yet one constant remains: her desire to leave this Earth a little better than when she entered it as she tries to live by these words, Make your mark on the world today as your acts of kindness is all anyone will remember in years to come!

I said it before and I will say it again O-M-G. I swear reading The Billionaire's Masquerade you would think Jeannette would have 20 books already released. But no this is her second book. Now I loved her first book The Billionaire's Secret but this one just left the first on in it's dust. Once you begin to read it you are just more then captivated by the story, you live it. You begin to imagine yourself as the character in the story.
Elaine - Growing up never knowing her family I think made her a strong person. I think I would have done the same as she did in searching for where I was from and who my family was. I loved how she tried to avoid Trent but ended up getting together with him. They make a deal on where no one would know they are dating. He even tried to help her find her family, of course not the way he should have done it. Can they survive what happens? Read the book. I am sooooo not giving this away.
Trent - Look ladies he is MINE that is M-I-N-E MINE....Oh my blood roared throughout reading this book. Trent is sure a force to be reckon with. When he went for something he got it. And he wanted Elaine. Of course he never wanted that whole relationship. But those two were built for each other. Being the one who likes control he sure lost it. Will he get it back? READ THE BOOL, trust me you will love it.
Jeannette is an amazing author. I can not wait till her 3rd book for the Netting On You Series comes out.

Another great read in the series! Commitment phobe Trent Davis doesn't know what hit him once Elaine Manning blows into his life. Never has he had to work to get a woman's attention but Elaine is proving to be different from every other woman he's known. Catching her is one thing, keeping her is quite another! I definitely recommend this one.

Another great read
Another great read from Jeannette. Trent and Elaine story is thought to be temporary but as love always goes it’s made permanent but with a few rocky moments of it going south. Loved hearing more about Jon and Lizette and can’t wait to read from the other characters.
I’ve read this a few times and some book remind me of this story and it took a while to remember who wrote I alway remember Treat and Elaine but not the title of the book hopefully I won’t forget again

This was a good book with good characters, but I preferred the first book over this one. I love a woman who makes the man fight for her, not give in all the time and that is what Elaine did. She never made Trent fight for her, she always gave in and blamed herself. Good book, but not my favorite.

That Was One Fantastic Novel
An amazing storyline. Elaine's birth was very unusual to say the least. No wonder she never found anything. Sad really, that was the heartbreaking part of the story. You will definitely fall in love with her character.

I fell in love with Trent from the beginning. He was the mischief boy growing up, the only boy who didn't fall into the footsteps of everyone else in his family. He had himself so set for success no matter how he had closed himself off to the possibilities. Enter Elaine. Elaine had herself closed off because she didn't know who she was and felt that as long as she didn't know that how could she love someone else. She didn't know how to love because she didn't know why she was given away. Trent and Elaine clashed from the beginning....his walls meeting her walls until the unthinkable happened...Trent thought what if and Elaine thought maybe. While Trent tried to show her he cared for her by different things he did and said and taking her to meet the family without actually saying he wanted her to meet the family. Elaine was so focused on keeping her reputation clean she wanted NO ONE to know of the feelings she had for Trent let alone what they were doing between the sheets. Things blow up in their faces then they both realize what they are going to loose and they both together take down their walls. I am looking forward to book 3 so we can still get a glimpse of these two.

This is the second book in the Betting on You Series. In this book it follows Billionaire Trent Davis and Elaine Manning.

Then arrives Elaine Manning whose reputation means everything to her. Elaine refuses to be Trent's latest conquest. Are all bets are off when she accepts a massive once-in-a-lifetime job offer, there is only one problem and that the only catch being the identity of her boss: Trent Davis.
With Trent and Elaine unable to separate work and pleasure. Both of them enter into a secret relationship. But Elaine has a bigger secret and it's one she’s been hiding for a very long time. Trent will do anything to learn the truth about Elaine, but at what cost?
Can Trent and Elaine work through their issues for their happily ever after?
I love how Jeannette Winters writes to help break the stigma of the rich and the poor in different worlds.
There should be an option for more than 5 stars as i would definitely give her more but have to settle for 5

Very good story
This was book 2 in the series. I loved it as much as I loved book one. Then stories are very well developed and you can connect to the characters. This is a series were I could read the books over and over. This is a full standalone book in a good series.
Overview. Elaine has worked with a nonprofit company since she left college. In the process, she has caught the attention of Trent Davis. One of the top ten bachelors of NY. He is a player and well known businessman. Business, pleasure, and no commitments. But something is different when Trent met her at Jon's office for a business meeting. So when friends of TAKE ONE (Jon,Trent,Drew,Ross) decide that they need a new person to complete their charity work, Trent decided Elaine would be their go to girl and his next fling. That is until he see/feels the connection. He wants more, while she wants to keep it quiet. She doesn't want the next public notch on his belt or rune her job by sleeping with the boss.

You can try to give a woman everything but the one thing she desires was not in your plans until in the end it is all you saw yourself wanting.
That was Trent when he came across the spitfire name Elaine. Not only was she smart with a dedicated heart of passion and given but she was lost in a pass with no wnd in sight. Trent found the end as well as their ending until deep thought and understanding won over her heart. I guess being secret or keeping up the masquerade is not the way to go and some secrets are to be told.
I enjoyed this story of not keeping a promise bwcause your heart want more. The more hands in the jar the better the outcome of finding results. Family is not blood it's comfort and support.

Great read
Elaine is a smart 34 year old woman who is troubled by her past or lack there of. She grew up in the foster system and has spent most of her adult life searching for her parents and answers with no success. She has kept to herself in keeping to herself and not allowing herself to get close to anyone; that is until she accepts a job from billionaire Trent and his three friends. She is attached to Trent but she doesn't want a relationship and she doesn't want anyone knowing they are seeing one another.
Trent has never met anyone like Elaine. She beautiful, and smart. For the first time someone doesn't want a commitment from him and he's not sure what to think about that
It is a story and how she finds out about her past and how he helps her was worth the read

As this is Jeannette's second book, I'd say it was a huge evolution from the first one. I loved how she had woven Elaine and Trent's story. Also, I could feel their emotions better that I dd with Jon and Lizette's story. The title Billionaire's Masquerade was very appropriate, too and I like how that played into strengthening the intimacy and romance of the two characters. The conflict was also well played. I almost got carried away with the emotions running through Lizette when she went through it.
I am looking forward to seeing the other characters grow along with the author's craft.

Good read
This was a good book. I definitely am continuing the series. The author preps you for the next and includes the last. I like that I was able to see the progression of the prior characters. I wasn't left in the dark. It wasn't as predictable as the first one. So that's always exciting.

Good book
This is the second in the series and while it is a stand alone it is best to read in order. I cannot say that the book held me in it's grips but it was an overall good book. It did have a lot of sex in it like book 1 so please keep that in mind when considering this series.

The Billionaire's Masquerade by Jeannette Winters is a well written book. It has great characters, drama (but low angst level) and a bit of spice. I enjoyed The Billionaire's Masquerade and look forward to reading more from Jeannette Winters. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Keeps on getting better.
Loved the 2nd book in the series. The 6 different locations are interesting in how they fit into the
Plot. Miss Wlnters does not write a story with a typical ending. But it is a HEA that has a great lesson learned.

This a 2.5☆ read for me. I quite like the story and characters but I find that the book was really drawn out with a lot of pointless dialogue and there were several grammatical errors in this particular book. I hope the next instalment will be better.

The Billionaire's Masquerade
The story line was not a typical one. I was glad for something different as to where she did not know her origin. Was a good romance story. I didn't want to put it down. I was humored and enamored all the way through.

Better than the first book but still lots of mistakes which drive me mad. There was one on the first page, does no one check over these stories before they're sent off? I enjoyed the story.
