Introducing THREAT, book five in the hot and sexy new romance series, The Billionaire’s Rules, by New York Times bestselling author Kelly Favor...Twenty-one-year-old Ivy Spellman has always played by the rules – get good grades, stay out of trouble, and avoid bad boys at all costs. But when she takes a temp assignment at a multi-billion dollar drug company, she can’t help but become intrigued with the sexy and ultra-demanding CEO, Cullen Sharpe. Cullen Sharpe is used to getting what he wants, and his dark and damaged desires are locked on Ivy. Her good girl innocent routine is enough to drive him over the edge, and after Ivy makes a mistake at work, he senses an opening to teach the shy temp the pleasures and seductions of being bad... …as well as the punishment that goes along with it. Soon the two of them are locked in a game of mystery, seduction, and raging desire that knows no bounds. But as Ivy is pushed beyond her sexual limits, she begins to crave more from the dark billionaire. However, Cullen guards his secrets and his heart for reasons that run deep. And if those reasons were to ever be revealed, it just might destroy them both… THREAT is the fifth book in the hot new alpha billionaire series by bestselling romance author Kelly

April 18, 2016I won't be unfair and write a review. I don't see myself in this kind of books I love warm stories with so much love. The whole series is about sex, spanking and so much things I don't really love to discuss. NOT MY THING AT ALL

Кълън Шарп и Айви Спелман
"Заплаха" в Читанка
Добре има надежда за тези двамата. Кълън започна да се очовечва, ама наша Айви е много загубена. Седят изнудват я. Тероризират я и те не прави нищо. Дано в следващата част му каже, че иначе сапунката ще е пълна.

LIES, CONSEQUENCES AND THREATS ABOUND !!!
Wow! Threat is the fifth book in Kelly Favor's riveting 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 four 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? I think not, at least not yet. Cullen Sharpe doesn't give her a chance. It looks as if the enigmatic Mr Sharpe can't stay away from Ivy and this time, he does the deed. That's right, Ivy is no longer a virgin! She spends the night with Cullen but when morning comes, he's back to his same old cruel, arrogant self telling her that she should stay away from her. What is this guy's problem? But when Xavier is waiting outside the Biomatrix building for Ivy the next day and whisks her away for lunch, Cullen is absolutely livid. He marches into the restaurant and demands that Ivy leave immediately. And now, he showing up at Ivy's apartment in the middle of the night - uninvited! Oh my glory! Poor Ivy will soon be suffering from whiplash as a result of Cullen's mood swings and his off and on again behavior. He wants her, he doesn't want her, he wants her! But she can't turn him away! She's already in too deep! OMG! Why is Xavier Montrose so interested in Ivy and just what is he up to??? Is the email he sent Ivy real and why did he send it? Hmmm...... And what exactly was Lucas doing in Emma Mark's office at her computer and why is he watching Ivy so closely??? Why does Ivy's supervisor, Emma Marks, dislike Ivy so much? Finally, when Ivy confronts Lucas for reading her email, Lucas finally delivers an unbelievable confession to Ivey but is Lucas Hogan truly a FBI special agent and if so, why is he investigating Cullen Sharpe? Could there be a little corporate espionage happening at Biomatrix or murder? Is Ivy's life in danger? 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 who seeks revenge-check! Beautiful, shy virgin who discovers that she loves to submit-check! Office politics, drama, secrets, domination, consequences, punishment, blackmail, possible corporate espionage, a claimed FBI investigation and maybe even murder-check! Heated attraction, sexy seduction, fiery passion, steamy sex and agonizing angst-you bet! The story is smart, exciting, fast-paced, suspenseful, compelling, arousing and seductive. The dialogue is smart, well written and flows effortlessly. The characters are intriguing, captivating, engaging and sexy. Seriously sexy, completely compelling and definitely entertaining!

Good book
Keeps you thinking and wondering what will happen next. Highly recommend. Bummer they are all short stories instead of one long book.

This book was okay, it raises a lot more questions than answers and it is so frustrating when the female lead hides stuff from the male lead and you know that eventually she is going to tell him but it would have been a lot less severe if she would have told him things now oppose to in the future books like I know will most likely happen. There were some sexy moments but overall it was just progressing the story for the readers. Time to move onto the next segment.

Ok now we're getting somewhere. I'm still on the hunt to discover the secrets about Cullen. OMG did anyone else think Lucas was capable??? I just thought he was a lam-o. I knew he was up to something, but not that.
It seems Cullen is truly developing feelings for Ivy so I've decided to cut her some slack. I truly hope she catches a break in the next book. That ending? Does this mean we may get Cullen's POV? Here's to wishful thinking!
