TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES !!! Wow! Truth is the third book in Kelly Favor's exciting new serial, The Billionaire's Rules and it totally rocks! This is my very first time reading Favor's work but I must say, I am impressed with what I've read so far. This is a serial folks so there will be multiple installments and dare I say it, cliffhangers. Yikes! Each installment is relatively short which makes them perfect for a quick break or lunchtime read. Although it's difficult to get a full sense of the book after only three chapters, I believe I may have a general idea of the direction the author intends to lead us. The journey begins with Ivy Spellman, a recent college graduate who has been hired as a data entry temp by Biomatrix Pharma, one of the largest and most prestigious drug companies in Boston. Out of her group, she has been singled out by the handsome CEO of the company, Cullen Sharpe who has for no apparent reason chosen her to bring him his coffee. Ivy had always been the shy, quiet, mousy student who always sat in front, kept her head down, took meticulous notes and got good grades. She has just recently finished school and has no real job experience other than working as a part time grocery clerk so this is her first real job. She has no idea why Mr. Sharpe has taken an unusual interest in her but she only hopes that it doesn't lead to her termination. It certainly couldn't be because of her good looks because she would never be beautiful enough to attract the attention of someone like handsome, wealthy Cullen Sharpe. Even her manager, Emma Marks, seems to immediately dislike her. What the heck? After Ivy spills a cup of scalding hot coffee in Mr Sharpe's lap, she is called to his office to discuss her failure of his assigned task and to Ivy's surprise, he offers her tutelage in the form of.......discipline. What? Mr Sharpe presents Ivy with a choice but what will she decide??? She decides to leave his office but immediately regrets her decision. Ivy's indecision and inexperience torment her as she tries to resume her work. She is invited to a nearby bar for a drink after work with Lucas and several other coworkers. There is an altercation at the bar involving a very tipsy Ivy and a group of very obnoxious male patrons. The only friend she seems to have among her co-workers is Lucas who unsuccessfully tries to rescue her from their unwelcome advances. But just who arrives in time to come to Ivy's rescue? Why, handsome, hunky Cullen Sharpe, of course! Apparently, the mysterious Mr. Sharpe is very attracted to lovely, young, inexperienced Ivy and wants to do more than just discipline her at work. He spirits her away to his apartment where he rejects her after learning she is a virgin. What the heck? Ivy leaves and is more determined than ever to stay away from the fickle Mr Sharpe but can he stay away from Ivy? Apparently not! He insists that she attend a company luncheon at a nearby venue where she quite literally bumps into Xavier Montrose, President of Vellum Pharmaceuticals, a direct competitor of her boss' company, Biomatrix. And Xavier asks her for a date! Oh my! Cullen Sharpe witnesses the exchange and is literally livid. Oh my glory! Cullen Sharpe may not want her but apparently he doesn't want anyone else to have Ivy either? What is wrong with that man? What will Ivy do? Will she defy her Boss, otherwise known as Sir as he's asked to be called, and accept a date with Xavier? Why is Xavier Montrose so interested in Ivy and just what is he up to??? Hmmm...... And what exactly was Lucas doing in Emma Mark's office at her computer??? Could there be a little corporate espionage happening at Biomatrix? I wonder??? No spoilers from me but I will say this..... Super sexy dominant boss who may have control issues and-check! Handsome charismatic competitor-check! Beautiful, shy virgin who discovers that she loves to submit-check! Office politics, drama, secrets, domination,consequences, punishment and possible corporate espionage-check! Heated attraction, sexy seduction, fiery passion and agonizing angst-you bet! The story is smart, exciting, provocative, arousing, seductive and well written. The characters are captivating, engaging and sexy. The verdict is still out but so far so good. We'll see what happens in the next installment. Seriously sexy and definitely entertaining!
Still don't know who Cullen is but he seems just as obsessed as Daisy. She's just weird. I'm glad to see she's capable of independent thought but it's still not enough to win me over. I shouldn't really categorize this as sexy because the one sex scene just wasn't. Which woman ever lost her virginity and thought "ooh that felt soooooo good?" Ummmmmm hell to the naw. That just isn't realistic. And dude knew she was a virgin. Where the hell was the prep??? Dude doesn't know about friggin foreplay??? I would not be giving up my hymen to someone who doesn't put in work. Shoot, she didn't even get a date. Well at least he gives her a paycheque.
This was a pretty hot and steamy read, the jealousy and the desire she feels from him is really sexy. I enjoyed this segment of the series, though it irritates me how these books always have the mixed signals throughout between the main characters because it wastes a lot of time and it always comes down to if they just would have talked to each other... here I go ranting again. Anyway, I enjoyed this one!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
For those who read my reviews, you're probably wondering why I even bothered with the third book in the series if I was so disappointed in the first two. Well reader, I downloaded the first four in the series and binge read them.
Anyways, I believe this is the one where things actually got semi interesting. The sex scene was questionable and interesting...I thought Cullen would be more caring, gentle, and sweet to Ivy but oh no. Dear reader, you'll be surprised.
I guess we all knew what was coming. Ivy sort of tried to stay away from Cullen but ended up quite the opposite. She flirted with another big Pharma guy and that upset Cullen so he took her home with him.
So, I wish my naive Ivy would open her eyes and not trust everyone. I mean, things appear to be happening around her and she's ignoring them. Like her good ol' buddy Lucas. The girl sitting with Xavier.
Е добре във всяка книга ли ще я пляскоти? В смисъл това е номер 3. Епа той не се спря... задните й части да не са от ламарина да му се не знае, толкоз бой изяде. И това със "да сър" , "благодаря, че ме напляскахте сър" ми идва една идея в повече...
In Truth Ivy and Cullen work toward an understanding. He feels protective. She feels rejected. He can't resist her. She wants him despite his controlling ways. Slowly Cullen is exposing Ivy to The Billionaire's Rules as the story continues in this episode.
Well when they came together it was like fireworks. Hot and intense and you can't forget the heat. I'm wander what the paper are that he was served. I guess we shall keep reading to find out.
