A Dark Billionaire Romance #5
His Ransom
Sometimes the past should STAY buried.
I knew that there was more to billionaire Jake Carville than what he showed the world. But I didn’t know that Jake’s past was so dark... and so dangerous.
Lacey Miller is just a curvy girl, a tomboy, a street artist. When she steps into Jake Carville’s life, his obsession with her will lead her into a world like she’s never seen. A world of wealth and power. A world of unquenchable passion and unspeakable cruelty.
Jake Carville, billionaire playboy, has never found a woman he can open up to. Not until Lacey. She’s the only woman he cares about. His gift. His love.
… and that’s why she’s the perfect hostage.

This was a great series. Quick, fast paced story. Easily pulled into and engrossed in the roller coaster ride this story puts you on. Fun and emotional with romance and sexual tension, everything you need. Will be looking into this author.

Jake and Lacey paint a medium burn romance work of art. Beware ladies more things than street art get painted in vivid color is this story.

Picking up where we left off from the last book Lacey miller had several big surprises in store once she returned home after her fight with Jake Carville he took her on her first helicopter ride and even gave her flying lessons and then took her to dinner on their flight to Paris and she was absolutely thrilled to be going to Paris with her man but everything is not what it seems because she knows that he is there for business she does some site seeing but then she meets the mysterious Jean Luc the supposed art collector who invites her to see a new artists collection at the Louvre and she is quite taken and then she is ask to his studio and she sees something in him that is familiar but she is not sure what exactly it is but she is still upset about something she saw Jake doing at the hotel room things become more mysterious with Jean Luc when it goes awry she is devastated in the worst way she doesn't know if she will ever see the man she loves again.This was really a very good story line. Cliff hanger. Readers 18 years and older.

Part 5 Just gets better, it is so full of surprises!
What was suppose to be a trip to win Lacey's trust has turned into a nightmare.
Lacey starts to feel even more insecurities around all the beautiful women in Paris and out of place among all the rich. Is she wrong feeling this way. She meets an art collector that gives her more time then Jake does and she may be making the biggest mistake of her life.
Will Jake finally prove himself to Lacey and will Lacey see the error of her ways.
There are lots of surprises in this story, ones that I didn't see coming and I love it. It only gets better!
Can't wait to get to book 6!

I'll review the series, because each book has like 60 pages and....
So, thank GOD for Kindle Unlimited, because i don't think i would have paid money for this series.
As i have said before, i don't really like short novels. They all seem rushed. This one included. BUT, this one has something new: a billionaire, but like to dress up in hoodies and paint graffitis through NY or Paris. Seriously?
Anyways, something in all this smells a lot like FSOG. Alpha male handsome billionaire, who likes kinky stuff (BDSM, of course), sad childhood, meets young virgin whom he starts to fall in love with and .
I must admit, it was intriguing and i didn't dislike it. There was just sex, so it was ok.

Jake is busy with work in Paris which leaves Lacey at loose ends. She begins to explore the city and runs into an art collector. There is something about Jean Luc that seems familiar but she struggles to figure out what it might be. As Jake gets busier, Lacey's insecurities grow so she seeks out Jean Luc since he seems to appreciate her art. Little does she know the dangerous path she is heading down. Love the suspense added in this installment which is keeping me on my toes as we takes this journey with Lacey and Jake.

His Ransom (A Dark Billionaire Romance Part 5) (Dark Billionaires) by Aubrey Dark
** I received an ARC from the Author in exchange for my honest review **
This book takes you on a suspenseful ride with lots of twists and turns. I believe this may be my favorite part so far. No spoilers from me so I will just say I devoured this book and was blown away by the cliffhanger. Wow! I have to go read Part 6.

I've read the whole series in one go. I love the twist, though I saw it coming in book 5 (but not the whole twist LOL..just bits and pieces ^^). Jake is such a wonderful character. He is so sweet and I didn't really expect that at all. I thought his character would be too dark and yet I like his transformation when Lacey came into his life. I enjoyed the whole series. <3 <3 <3 I cried though mwehehehehe!

Wow! This one was better than the rest! I finally got to see some action (not just the sexual kind). Lacey put herself in quite the predicament because she allowed her insecurities to get the best of her. I'm not saying she's wrong for having doubts. They've only been together for about a month. However, instead of letting these doubts fester into a real problem, she should have talked to Jake about them. Now she's stuck and the story just got interesting!!

Part 1-3: 4 stars! Great chemistry and characters that really caught my interest. Could not put down!
Part 4-6: 2 stars! Was really happy when I found out that there was a continuation to these. Too bad that they were only decent - what happened to the heat?

Nice twist
The plot has come full force now. It has a twist at the end of this book that makes you want more.

After reading Aubrey Dark's other works, this series' 'darkness' pales in comparison.
