Billionaires and Bridesmaids #5
Billionaire on the Loose
You met the six bachelors of the Billionaire Boys Club... Now it's time to pair up some filthy-rich billionaires with lucky ladies in waiting and enjoy the spoils...
Taylor is a genius when it comes to computers, but understanding the opposite sex is beyond her. Because she always fumbles her flirtations, she needs help in finding her Prince Charming. So when her friend, Gretchen, sets her up as a tour guide for a new guy in town, she says yes despite her misgivings.
She just doesn't expect Mr. Charming to actually be royalty...
A faction in his country wants him to be king, but Loch has no intention of taking the crown. To keep from being named as the next successor, he hatches a scheme to marry a totally unacceptable American woman. Quirky Taylor seems like the perfect person for the job, until Loch realizes he likes more about her than her ability to keep him off the throne.
When Loch's secret schemes come out, his chance of happiness with Taylor are blown - unless he can find a way to get the nerdy object of his affection to believe she's truly the queen of his heart...
Includes a teaser for The Billionaire's Favourite Mistake!

It pains me to rate this really low because I adore this series, and I adore Jessica Clare's writing. But I'm afraid this was just too odd of a coupling that I didn't quite feel connected and invested to the story and the characters.
Taylor is a geek who loves playing online video games, and worships at the altar of Doctor Who. Loch is from royalty and a professional slacker. They met through Gretchen and formed a connection. My problem is I didn't quite buy this connection they had.
I liked the idea of a geek and a royal billionaire but when I read this, it just didn't come together for me. Having two characters who are the exact opposites (in interests) of each other is great but sometimes, it's just too much. I feel like Loch is just indulging Taylor. I don't particularly find that idea romantic at all because it can go wrong really fast. And it did in this one. Again, my issue is after their big conflict, I didn't feel like they've truly made a love connection. Friendship, yes. But happily-ever-after love, not quite sure about that.
Again, it pains me to give this book 2 stars but nothing worked for me in this book.

The heroine was an absolute braindead idiot and it had nothing to do with the hero either.
The heroine is a computer techie and member of some virtual game guild where one of the players(not the hero) is obsessed with her. He will text/email her a million times if she doesn't respond to him. He's constantly threatening to hurt himself if she doesn't respond and so she's pretty much a hermit because of all the time spent consoling this freak. She even goes as far as not accepting a promotion at work because she needs to dedicate her time to A PSYCHO she has never even met!
This was so ridiculous. I spent most of the book reading about her guilt over this psycho freak I just couldn't get over it anymore. It was too much! I just wanted to scream at the author "ENOUGH ALREADY!Get to the fucking romance with the damn hero!"
Have absolutely no idea why this random lunatic was the center of almost the whole book. I won't even bother getting to the enormous man child of a hero as the random internet freak was bad enough on its own.

-The Setup: Billionaire slacker/polo player Loch has been politely exiled while they do some insurgent wrangling and they stop cheering for him to take over the throne of Bellissime. He comes to the US for Gretchen and Hunter’s wedding (hero/heroine of Beauty and the Billionaire, the original series) and nerdy lover of cosplay, MMORPGs and all things sci-fi bridesmaid Taylor. This can work as a standalone because they’re fairly isolated for the majority of it.
-The Good: Ms. Clare has a flare for the billionaire romances that I enjoy. Nerdy heroines will always have a place in my heart and I certainly don't mind a billionaire or twenty. There’s some good humor here and the sex was enthusiastic and fun. The fluffy component was in full effect. However….
-Needed more: I need to connect, in some way, with either the hero/heroine when I read a romance novel. Had one of them been even a bit more grounded, perhaps it could have worked. I struggled to feel anything for Loch or Taylor because they’re both fairly weak. It felt like two friends with good sex and nothing else in common managed to stumble into a relationship.
-Man-baby hero: Loch was a man-baby who had never had to do a thing for himself, and by the end of the story, he was still lacking a real direction other than the possibility of owning an estate, which does not constitute a career or purpose. There was a hint of one with the homeless man he befriends (with the best advice), but there’s no follow through.
-Living in denial heroine: Taylor’s arc is a little stronger. She begins the story in pretty big denial of how little she’s living and out of control she is because of her obsession with her online escape. I applaud that she eventually realizes that she wasn’t in charge of her life. However, her lack of savvy when it comes to her manipulative friend was something that made little sense for a woman who is as familiar with online social media and technology as she is. I struggled to understand how she didn’t even make an attempt to check out Sig’s situation on her own if he was in potential physical danger. She never once even thought to reverse lookup his number, when he did the same to her. I just needed even a token gesture, but there wasn’t one.
The Bottom Line
This was only ok. Considering how much I enjoyed the last book, this was a letdown. That said, this feels like a blip in the series and I’m hoping it bounces back with the next one.

Some days...life is going well. Other days? *raises eyebrow* Your family kicks you out of your country and sends your royal ass to America. Yup. Loch's family has sent him packing and he's in New York until they decide it's safe for him to come home again. And he's going stir crazy with nothing to do until a friend sets him up with his own personal tour guide. A clumsy little gamer-girl who is pretty much his exact opposite but totally catches his eye. Billionaire on the Loose was a fun little read. It sure was.
Loch and Taylor. Lordy. He's a hottie baron in line for the thrown and is all about sports, she's a gamer girl and totally geeks out over things. They were quite the pair and goodness but these two pretty much suck at adulting. lol He's a spot aimless and rather clueless about taking care of himself-- hello, he's royalty!-- and she's klutzy, battles keeping on track with things and is easily led because she's too kind hearted. But...I still liked them. They were kind of like overgrown kids that were figuring out how to be grow and on their own. It was kind of endearing instead of annoying.
And they were pretty hot. Opposites attract and all that. Heating up the sheets and just spending time together. It was cute and had some nicely heated moments. I never really felt the romance or falling in love, though. It all felt more like "falling in like" which is okay.
There was a big relationship blunder on his part--and gah yeah he needed that aforementioned spanking something fierce-- and some frustrations as she dealt with a manipulative person in her gaming world but in the end I was on board.
All in all, Billionaire on the Loose was a light fluffy read with fun characters that had a little growing up to do and managed to help each other do just that. Some fumbles along the way, a good dose of groveling, some sexy and some geeky moments and just a good time.

Witzig, süß, sexy. Das sind so die Worte, die mir zuerst einfallen, wenn ich Jessica Clare höre. Bisher haben mir ihre Bücher, weitestgehend, wirklich gefallen. Natürlich gab es Ausnahmen, doch die gibt es wohl bei jedem Autor. Und ich fürchte leider, und das tut mir selber weh wenn ich es schreibe, dass Perfect Touch - Vereinigt mit zu diesen Ausnahmen gehört...
Einige Tage laufen gut, andere nicht so. Bisher liefen für Leo alle Tage hervorragend, bis zu diesem einen Tag, als seine Familie ihn aus dem Land verbannt, damit er nicht auf dem Thron landet. Doch was soll Leo alleine in New York tun? Da kommt ihn die süße und etwas tollpatschige Taylor gerade recht. Zeit mit ihr zu verbringen wird nach und nach immer wichtiger für Leo, allerdings nicht wichtig genug um nicht zurück nach Hause zu wollen. Und um das zu erreichen, hat Leo schon den perfekten Plan...
Oh man, ich weiß irgendwie nicht so wirklich was ich zu diesem Buch schreiben soll. Ich sitze jetzt schon Stundenlang vor dem Laptop und finde einfach nicht die richtigen Worte. Also entschuldigt bitte, wenn ich mich etwas wirr ausdrücke, bei diesem Buch geht es nicht anders.
Aber wollen wir zuerst einmal mit Taylor anfangen. Der süße und absolut tollpatschige Nerd. Sie liebt Videospiele und Doctor Who über alles. Und irgendwie machte sie das so besonders. Denn ich bin, glaube ich, noch nie einer Protagonistin begegnet, die solch ein Geek war. Was sie absolut liebenswert machte. Leider, und das ist ein großes leider, hatte ich null Verbindung zu ihr. Es hat zwar Spaß gemacht, ihre Geschichte zu lesen, doch Taylor kam mir immer wie ein zu groß geratenes Kind vor, die man keine Sekunde alleine lassen konnte. Ganz ehrlich, ich brauche, um ein Buch wirklich zu fühlen, irgendeine Verbindung zu den Protagonisten, und die gab es einfach nicht.
Jedoch hatte ich nicht nur bei Taylor das Problem, sondern auch bei Leo. Aber zu allererst muss ich mich mal kurz darüber aufregen, dass sein Name in der deutschen Übersetzung verändert wurde. Denn, ehrlich, musste das sein? Ob er nun Loch heißt (das ist ein englischer Name verdammt!) oder Leo, das machte jetzt nun auch keinen Unterschied. Er ist und bleibt irgendwie ein Arschloch und ein Kind. Denn auch er hat, genau wie Taylor, irgendwie (für mich) noch nicht das Erwachsenenalter erreicht. Sein ganzes Verhalten hat mich regelmäßig auf die Palme getrieben. Sorry, aber Leo war ja irgendwie ganz sexy, doch das entschuldigt einfach absolut nicht wie er sich gegenüber Taylor verhalten hat.
Und die beiden zusammen? Davon würde ich am liebsten nicht einmal anfangen. Die Bücher von Jessica Clare sind sonst immer absolut heiß, aber hier spürte ich keine Verbindung, sondern es fühlte sich einfach alles zu gewollt und zu dramatisch an, um echt zu wirken. Und ja, ich weiß, dass es ein Buch ist, da muss nichts echt sein. Allerdings wäre der Funke einer Möglichkeit solch eine Geschichte zu erleben, schon ganz nett gewesen. Dann wären vielleicht auch ein paar Funken mehr vorhanden gewesen. So hat sich die Beziehung zwischen den beiden eher halbgar angefühlt.
Ganz klar, Perfect Touch - Vereinigt ist das bis jetzt schwächste Buch der Autorin. Was mich absolut enttäuscht. Denn die Idee von einem Geek und einem royalen Milliardär war wirklich gut, allerdings passte für mich nichts zusammen. Zwei so unterschiedliche Charaktere zu haben, kann interessant und fesselnd sein, doch in diesem Fall war es einfach zu viel, sodass bei allem auch noch die Romantik (die mir absolut wichtig ist) viel zu kurz kam. Jetzt kann ich nur hoffen, dass Jessicas neue Reihe Wild Games wieder besser wird...

I’m a sucker for Jessica Clare’s billionaire books! I’d been excited for Billionaire on the Loose since reading The Billionaire’s Favorite Mistake and being introduced to Taylor and Loch. A romance between a computer genius/online gamer nerd and one of the heirs to the crown of Bellissime – how could I say no to that!?
Normally women fell into his lap. The one time he was the one pursuing? He couldn’t get her to leave her damned apartment.
Becoming king of Bellissime sounds like a nightmare to Loch, so to stay out of the media and prevent gaining any popularity, he hides away in New York. He plans on meeting up with his cousin, but the last person he expects to keep him company is a clumsy, gorgeous girl he can’t keep out of his mind. The chemistry between them blows his mind, and he knows he wants more of her – and she’d be the perfect American candidate for becoming his wife and thus losing his spot as heir to the throne. He has a hard time getting Taylor to give him the time of day though – but what happens when feelings start to develop and the truth of his intentions come out?
The heroine is definitely the highlight of this novel for me – Loch was slightly forgettable, but that was forgivable when I focused more on Taylor. I love when characters challenge gender norms, and Taylor is the perfect example of that. She’s a female gamer and who is totally unapologetic about who she is and what she does – I LOVED that about her. She’s also slightly awkward and clumsy, especially around men, but that only endeared her to me. Taylor and Loch are total opposites – he’s a smooth, handsome player while she has no social skills – so if you love the opposites-attract trope, this book is for you!
Thanks to the publisher for generously providing me an ARC to review.

This story was definitely better than the previous book. You just couldn't not love Taylor's adorable clutziness and her sweet and genuine character, which made you fall in love with her automatically. I really liked how they weren't soo insta-lovey, and that they actually spent quite some time together outside of the physical aspect. The royalty feature in this book was kept to a minimum and I liked that as well, cause it showed that there aren't just bright sides to being a baron (such as Leo was). The GamerGirl and PlayerGuy-story, was a cute one and somehow despite all the things that might work against them they were such a sweet couple. I really rooted for them in the end! After finishing this series I havce to say that this story as well as books two and threee were the best out of these five. The series in itself does have a certain appeal as well, cause you meet almost all the characters in the beginning and then you just wanna see each and everyone one of them get there HEA, which they all do! I would certainly recommend this series!
3,5/5 stars

Billionaire on the Loose is the first novel I have read by Jessica Clare. Although most times I read authors with whom I am familiar, the synopsis for this story grabbed my attention and I just couldn't pass it up. I enjoyed this story very much and the main characters were definitely entertaining. I loved the fun bantering exchanges between them and they shared some hot and steamy scenes as well. All of the support characters were a great addition to the book.
If you're looking for a fast-paced, sexy and entertaining romance without a lot of angst, Billionaire on the Loose is certainly a great choice. Although this book is part of a series, it can definitely be read as a stand alone.

I can see why this book has such low ratings. The plot felt weak (Loch's reasons for wanting to marry Taylor?) And it infuriated me that Taylor wouldn't tell anyone about Sig (even though I later felt sorry for him. I am slowly disliking Gretchen with every book that comes out. However. I enjoyed the easy romance, how Loch was so open about his thoughts and how he was entrigued by Taylor. I love Jessica Clare's writing so I probably will read the next book in this series, even though Billionaires and Bridesmaids has been a really weak series imo.

I adore contemporary romance with royalty. Love them. I've read quite a few. I think it started with Nora Roberts' Cordina Family series that I read years and years ago. And lately I've been seeing some new royalty contemporary romances being released, so I had to look into them. Billionaire on the Loose by Jessica Clare totally worked for me.
What I Liked:
Taylor was the most adorable character. She's a nerd, through and through. She wears Doctor Who scarves, nerd T-Shirts, plays video games all the time, and is a computer geek. This made me love her all the more.
Taylor is also very clumsy, which added a lot of humor to the story. But it also felt natural for Taylor as well.
Taylor is a nice person, even going way out of her way to help people, even when they don't really deserve it.
I also loved Loch. He's a baron and sixth in line for the throne. He doesn't want that throne, though. Loch is also a nice guy. He has some major growing up to do, and he totally make some mistakes, but he admits them, and tries to make things better.
It was hilarious seeing Loch try to be independent in NYC. It was small things, and it always cracked me up. But I did like seeing him realize this short coming and trying to fix it.
What I Struggled With:
Totally a personal preference, but I've been getting a bit weary of the One-Night-Stand, so I didn't love it here. Although, that said, I think Clare did a good job handling it.
Sometimes I thought Taylor was a little too much of a pushover with people in the guild with her, especially Sigmund.
Final Thoughts:
I ended up liking Billionaire on the Loose a lot more than I was expecting. The characters were so much fun, I totally believed in the connection between Loch and Taylor, and now I want to read more in this series.This review was originally posted on Quinn's Book Nook

I really liked the romance of this story: an online gamer nerd and an heir to a crown! I wasn't sure how this would work out, but it turns out it was quite fun. Loch has lived his life with everything handed to him. He doesn't know what it's like to live by himself and depend on himself. Reading about him being in New York and fending for himself was a tad funny. He wanted to explore more of NY, but his tour guide Taylor was always holed up in her tiny apartment.
Taylor frustrated me quite a lot. She was in a bit of a predicament with another online gamer who would manipulate her. Instead of putting a stop to it, she felt very responsible. This lead to her feeling forced to play all the time with this guy and wouldn't enjoy her life.
Thanks to Loch, she was able to go out more and enjoy the little things in life. They complemented each other and their romance was so very sweet.
Overall, Billionaire on the Loose is a fun and quick read that will have its readers smiling and feeling giddy.

I am new to the world of Jessica Clare, but if all her stories are as endearing as Taylor and Loch's I just might stick around awhile. Billionaire On the Loose touches the heart with it's message of acceptance and spins dreams for every believer in happily ever afters. You don't have to be perfect to find happiness is an inspiring message that has fallen by the wayside in the world of glamorous movie stars and glitzy magazines. For that alone this story deserves an A +.
I must admit I went into the story, not liking Loch's stuffy ways and Taylor at times could be hard to take. However the charm of the story was the differences in the main characters and the positive effects they had on each other. With Billionaire on the Loose, Ms. Clare brought the beauty of fairy tales to modern readers.

Another great story by Jessica Clare, whom I'm a long time BIG fan of. The characters are real and witty and the story plot while not realistic was very real if you know what I mean. I laughed out loud, got turned on, got saddened right along with the entire story. I love all the characters from the entire series and wish they were real people so I could be friends with them and laugh my ass off all day long. Thanks to the author for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

2.5 stars. this book got a good start but eventually lost its appeal as the story progresses. everything seems too predictable and there was not much thrill with the relationship. i wish it could have gotten more interesting scenes and development in the story

This book was interesting. It wasn't horrible, but not my favorite. I didn't like how the main male character used the female main character. It broke my heart. But when someone falls in love with someone based solely on who they truly are, it warms my insides so much! That part I liked.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 20, 2016
Taylor is a genius when it comes to computers, but understanding the opposite sex is beyond her. Because she always fumbles her flirtations, she needs help in finding her Prince Charming. So when her friend, Gretchen, sets her up as a tour guide for a new guy in town, she says yes despite her misgivings.
She just doesn’t expect Mr. Charming to actually be royalty...
A faction in his country wants him to be king, but Loch has no intention of taking the crown. To keep from being named as the next successor, he hatches a scheme to marry a totally unacceptable American woman. Quirky Taylor seems like the perfect person for the job, until Loch realizes he likes more about her than her ability to keep him off the throne.
When Loch’s secret schemes come out, his chance of happiness with Taylor are blown—unless he can find a way to get the nerdy object of his affection to believe she’s truly the queen of his heart..
•••••••••
REVIEW: 3.5 stars--BILLIONAIRE ON THE LOOSE is the fifth installment in Jessica Clare’s contemporary adult Billionaire and Bridesmaids romance series -a spin off from her best selling Billionaire Boys Club series-that will focus on the wedding party attendants for the upcoming nuptials of Gretchen and Hunter (Billionaire Boys Club #2). This is IT consultant and online gamer Taylor, and Griffin Verdi’s (Billionaire Boys Club 4) cousin Bellissime Baron Loch delle Scogliere’s story line. BILLIONAIRE ON THE LOOSE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.
Told from dual third person points of view (Taylor and Loch) BILLIONAIRE ON THE LOOSE follows Baron Loch-sixth in line to the Bellissime throne- and just one of many cousins who refuse to accept their royal heritage and potential succession to the throne. The Queen is ready to step aside and couldn’t agree more that Loch is the least likely to ascend to the throne. To ensure Loch is hidden from the public and media scrutiny, our hero is sent to America while his cousin Princess Alexandra (Billionaire Boys Club 3.5) tries to conceive. Enter IT consultant and total klutz Taylor- the woman who will steal Baron Loch’s heart. What ensues is Loch’s seduction of Taylor, and Taylor’s struggles with an online stalker who uses everything in his repertoire to emotionally blackmail our story line heroine.
As an aside: The entire ‘online stalker’ subplot is questionable and disconcerting from so many angles- I am struggling with the heroine’s actions and reactions to the entire scenario.
The relationship between Loch and Taylor is one of immediate attraction. As a European royal Loch has never had to do anything for himself and discovers that he is ill-prepared for the real world and everything it has to offer. Loch is a sexy, blonde god of a man that attracts attention wherever he goes. Taylor is voluptuous, beautiful female whose klutziness is phenomenal leading to all sorts of personal injuries and potential hazards. As the story line develops our heroine finds herself falling for a man whose intent is to use whatever means possible to walk away from his birthright and the Bellissime throne. The $ex scenes are seductive and provocative but I did not feel the connection between our story line couple. Taylor has no intentions beyond a one-night stand- she is obsessed with her online gaming and has little time for anything else. Her gaming obsession (or addiction) controls and interferes with every aspect of her life; and Loch’s intentions are rife with betrayal and lies. Loch is a man who has yet to exert his independence and stumbles several times as he seeks his way in the USofA.
BILLIONAIRE ON THE LOOSE is another opposites attract story line –a billionaire Baron and the bumbling, klutzy, foul-mouthed heroine. Jessica Clare has used the same female formula several times throughout both of the series and I was hoping for a change up from the low-born, loud, and obnoxious bride who is more than a cartoon caricature of American clichés-sometimes change is good and I would welcome another well-educated, successful woman holding her own against one of the billionaire boys. The premise is entertaining ; the characters are determined and energetic; the romance is intimate but perplexing- I struggle with any emotional connection.

Billionaire on the Loose (Billionaires and Bridesmaids #5) Jessica Clare is a fluffy and fun romance that will make you chuckle because of the actions of the heroine and the hero who are the least likely of people to fall in love. How can you not enjoy a nerdy, techie computer obsessed heroine, and a dashing prince from a far off land who falls head first in lust with the heroine just because she’s unlike any women he knows, and a true original?
Taylor is pretty much a hermit in her apartment. She is a remote IT person who loves playing on-line role games. Because she became too involved in this virtual reality, she has picked up an admirer who is now stalking her, and going as far as to threatening to kill himself if Taylor isn’t on-line all the time talking with him. Instead of contacting the authorities or blocking him, mainly because of guilt, she gives in to him, almost making her lose her job and her sanity. But as this is all going on, one of her girl friends asks for a favor. This guy Loch from out of town needs a tour guide. Taylor accepts because she realizes she needs to take a break from the computer. An added bonus is that Loch is very handsome, friendly and has a sweet accent. They hit it off right away even though their personalities are as different as night and day.
Loch has come to the US, where it’s expected he’ll stay for 2-3 years. He’s an actual prince who live a playboy lifestyle of luxury because he’s worth billionaires. He’s pretty bored with life in general, until he meets Taylor. He thinks she’s adorable, and he loves hanging out with her. Soon his life changes to lust, and he wants her in his bed. Taylor jumps at the chance with Loch and soon they are having a very hot and heavy sexual affair. Taylor still has to be on guard because her obsessed on-line suitor is watching, and may go off the deep end if he finds out about Loch. But then Taylor is in a bad accident. Loch wants to help her recover, installing her in a fancy hotel room that is easy for him to pay for because of his fortune, which Taylor doesn’t know about. She has no idea he’s a prince, and the sudden idea he has to keep Taylor close, as well as letting him go home.
Billionaire on Loose is the type of romance that will make you smile. I loved the opposites attracting trope between Loch and Taylor, and it worked extremely well here because of the way Jessica has written these two characters. They’re both so lovable and easy going, even with Taylor’s seemingly dangerous stalker. As for that plot, it falters toward the end, especially when we find out who he is and why he has targeted Taylor. I didn’t buy it or the reason Taylor let it go on for so long, and didn’t contact the authorities. She became very worried that this individual may hurt her, or go off the deep end. Loch figures things out pretty quickly, unlike Taylor who is given the shock of her life about who Loch really is and what his plans are for her. Its deceitful and may make you change your mind about Loch, but it’s something that has been done in romance before. The groveling or forgiveness factor from Taylor is stereotypical, and allows for a satisfactory HEA.
The sex here is borderline erotic. A few times my eyebrows darted up because of how aggressive Taylor is from what she wants from Loch. These two have some major naked fun times together, especially during one of the virtual reality computer game conferences Taylor takes Lock to. They end up in a room that looks like a forest and end up having some risqué lovemaking on a mushroom. You have to read it in order to believe it. We’re talking R-Rated here.
Billionaire on the Loose is the type of book that will brighten you day if you’re looking for some fun time reading. The gamer chick heroine and her sexual hijinks with her Prince Charming makes for a good time.

As a closeted techie, I love when a book features a female nerd, and Taylor in Jessica Clare’s Billionaire on the Loose is a super hero for nerdy girls. She’s a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game) enthusiast, spatially challenged, socially awkward, comic book aficionado, and Batman-themed-panty wearer. Taylor works from home as telephone technical support and would often prefer to lead her virtual team on a virtual raid in her favorite online game rather than socialize. She is starting to question if living life as an avatar is truly living when her good friend Gretchen asks her to play tour guide to a minor-royal bachelor, Loch delle Scogliere, from the fake country of Bellissime. Taylor is reluctant - She has online raids to lead! - until she meets Loch. She surprisingly finds herself attracted to a man who does not know the difference in a router and a modem.
Loch is also intrigued and attracted to Taylor and finds her quirkiness amusing and different. Taylor agrees to show Loch the city and is surprised when she discovers Loch is attracted to her. She assumed hunky, playboy billionaires would not be into geeky girls, but his is exactly why Loch is interested. Taylor is different than his normal vapid date. He also has never been turned down, especially by a woman who is too busy rallying her fake troops; therefore, Taylor represents because a challenge
The two fall hard in lust for each other and then loves creeps in but neither feels comfortable admitting their feelings. Taylor truly doubts someone like Loch would being involved with someone like her, and Loch does wants to return to Bellissime and cannot imagine a long-term relationship with Taylor in the United States.
I enjoyed this 5th book in the Billionaires & Bridesmaids series although it is not my favorite. The story was a little slow around the halfway mark when the storyline veered to Taylor dealing with online drama in her game. Loch was not as interesting as some of Ms. Clare’s bachelors. He was good looking, rich and sweet to Taylor but not too much depth. Taylor was definitely my favorite of the two protagonists, and as I mentioned, I love seeing a nerd heroine in a romance. She is funny, unfiltered and geeky-awesome. Ms. Clare can always be relied upon to write some hot, sexy love scenes and this is no exception. I will keep reading Jessica Clare’s Billionaires & Bridesmaids series and consider it one of my favorite contemporary romance series, but this addition might never be read a second time. If you like Jessica Clare and like the billionaire nice-alpha hero then you will enjoy Billionaire on the Loose.
BTW I am not ashamed of my nerdiness. I just hide it so people will not constantly ask me for help with their technology!

Loch doesn't want to be king of Bellissime. Hoping that the old adge, "out of sight, out of mind" is true, he decides to hide out in America. New York City - to be exact - and he figured he could hang out with his cousin until the fervor died down. What he didn't plan on was meeting the clumsily beautiful Taylor & finding out that she was his new guide. Or that he couldn't get her out of his head. With things heating up back in Bellissime, he realizes that she would be the perfect person to help resolve things at home. His people didn't want a ruler married to an unsuitable American and he wouldn't mind spending more time with Taylor. Now he just had to get her to say yes...
Oh my GOD this book was such a joy to read! Pardon me while I gush for a few minutes, but it's been a while since I've come across such a fun & quirky character like Taylor. Some of the situations she finds herself in had me in stitches! It was so refreshing to see a character who marches to the beat of her own drum, and makes no excuses for it. (I think I might have a bit of a girl-crush, lol)
Final verdict? You're not going to want to miss out on this story! It's sweet, it's sexy, and it will tug at your heartstrings. I highly recommend it.

Haven't read a Jessica Clare book I haven't liked yet. The billionaire series are light and fun. She always comes up with just a little different twist to the stories. I'm a fan for sure.

I love Taylor, how she deal with her life, how care n stupid she is but her character.
As I computer nerd, she loves computer game, Star Wars, Star Trek n..... she never hides her own character, take it or leave it. That's Taylor. Felt sad about emotion blackmail, makes other in guilty sense is not acceptable, if fact, things always happened like that even your family, friends, colleagues.....
I hate that kind of behavior.
Loch is a lucky guy with money, no need to worry how things run outside his world, he is very different with Griffin even they are from same royal family. He is so lucky because his naive, I do think that there r so many Loch outside n most of them didn't had the money like Loch.
Life isn't easy, working long hours with min wages, depression, lonely, homeless because no one wants to give the second chance. People let themselves pretend in the unreal world, role play games character instead of real people, sad but true.

Completely charming, this book kept a smile on my face the entire time!
Billionaire on the Loose is a fun and quirky read, you won't want to put it down. It involves a self-proclaimed clumsy computer nerd- Taylor, who is into multiplayer games, and Loch, a sporty guy with a royal title. I love that these two come together, opposites attract and all that. She's adorkable, and he's hot as all could be. Loch is unfortunately holding onto a lie that could spell the end for these two, will he come clean in time to win Tay's heart? Jessica Clare has the market cornered on fast and sweet billionaire reads, and I think Billionaire on the Loose is one of her best. You don't want to miss this intriguing story, it's fantastic!

This is the 5th book in the Billionaire and Bridesmaids series and I liked it!
I feel like I was a little lost with the secondary characters as I hadn't read the other books in the series but this can be read as a standalone.
I thought it was a funny series even though I couldn't quite get the concept of the gamers lingo that's centered through out the story. I enjoyed their banter and one thing, Jessica can really set the sexual mood!
I would love to read more from her!

This is so bad it's good. No really. The couple doesn't make any sense together nor does their path to romance. The plot is fueled by bad decisions on the part of both characters that had me shaking my head at both of them. The stereotypes, the ridiculous situations, the job issues...you name it this book shouldn't be more than 1 star. But it is. I enjoyed it. I laughed. I sighed. It is crazy sauce on top of a crazy banana split with a cherry on top. I still liked it.

Billionaire on the Loose was a fun summer read with plenty of swoonworthy moments and steam. I am not a gamer. In fact, I find gaming highly obnoxious, but I was still able enjoy Taylor's character. What I wasn't able to enjoy was her willingness to take a "job" from the guy she was sleeping with. My feminist instincts were raging.

Fun Read
I love this Billionaires and bridesmaids series by Jessica Clare. Most, this one included make me laugh. Taylor is such a klutz that it makes her loveable. I like Loch, because whether he goes about it the right way or not, he's a good guy with goods intentions for everyone really. I love Rex and his influence on the story.

Loch can be a sensitive guy, “mmm, well, that’s a shame.” She was blowing him off for a computer game. It stung his ego. “Want to hook up for some filthy, no-strings-attached sex after your raid? I can come over there.” I really loved this book, I loved Loch and Taylor.

Full review to come. Fun entry. Great gamer/geek heroine. Nice sincere grovel.
