I was perfectly content with my life. My career was booming. I traveled. I did as much charity work as I possibly could for the homeless, and I was perfectly happy with the choices I'd made.
At least...I was--until my sister, Dani, came up missing. As an international correspondent, she traveled to war-torn countries, and she'd stepped a little too far over the line. With my sibling kidnapped and running out of time, I had no option except to approach Marcus Colter for help.
Seeing Marcus again after having him break my heart over a decade ago wasn't easy, but to my relief, the old feelings I thought I might still harbor for him were completely gone. He was like a stranger to me. After meeting with him, my only emotion was gratitude that he was going to try to rescue my sister.
Before I could relax about feeling nothing for Marcus, I met Blake Colter, and realized every emotion I thought I'd have for Marcus was suddenly present for the gorgeous US senator.
It was ridiculous. I hadn't seen Blake since we were kids.
How could I have given myself to Marcus so many years ago, yet have these feelings for his twin brother, Blake?
The more time I spent with Blake, waiting for my sister to be rescued, the more confused I became about my attraction to him.
Then, my entire world came crashing down when I found out that everything I thought was true for over a decade wasn't the truth at all.
What happens when a woman finds out that a man she'd both loved and hated for over a decade never really existed at all?
J.S. Scott is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of contemporary and paranormal romance. She's an avid reader of all types of books and literature. Writing what she loves to read, J.S. Scott writes both contemporary erotic romance stories and paranormal romance erotics. They almost always feature an Alpha Male and have a happily ever after because she just can't seem to write them any other way! She lives in the beautiful Rocky Mountains with her husband and two very spoiled German Shepherds.
Billionaire Unknown- Blake is the 10th book in J.S. Scott's Billionaire series, but can most definitely be read as a stand alone. I've not read any of the other books and I wasn't lost at all. The start of this book takes place 12 years before the actual story.
Blake and Harper have a bit of a history, thought that history is muddled when it comes to Harper's memory. She doesn't know the whole story. Blake is currently a senator and Harper does work that she's passionate about, working with the homeless. These two haven't seen each other in over 12 years, but when Harper's sister is in danger, she goes to Blake's twin brother to help.
It doesn't matter how long these two have been apart, the chemistry between them is still there. It never left. I loved watching these two rekindle their romance and couldn't wait for the revelation to be made where Harper found out what really happened between them. This story was sexy and suspenseful. I listened to the audio book and the narrator, Elizabeth Powers, did a great job voicing Harper, Blake, and even the few chapters we got from Marcus (I'm looking forward to his book!).
Overall I did like this book, but there was something that did tamper my enjoyment (. I give it a 3 star rating. I liked it, but it wasn't love for me. ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
Another amazing book in J.S. Scott's Billionaire's Obsession series. This is Blake Colter's story and it's wonderful. Twelve years ago Blake had an incredible weekend with a woman he's never been able to forget. He's known Harper his whole life but they weekend changed both of them. He never understood what happened after that weekend but she refused his calls and he hasn't seen her since. Now she needs his family's help and he plans on finding out what went wrong.
Wonderfully written and great characters make this one you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.

I was so Invested in Blake and Harper's story and no matter what happened , no matter what was revealed I needed to see these two have there happily ending withe each other and I am just happy with how everything worked for them . Every moment we spend with these two, every sweet moment or sexy one ( and let me just tell you J.S.Scott writes some of hottest sex scenes I have ever read) and even when they have arguments lol just showed me how perfect Blake and Harper are for each other . There was just so much happening in this story between the romance and the search for Harper sister Dani and all the things that were revealed that I just did not see coming this book kept me on my toes and my eyes glued to every single world. J.S.Scott is such a talented writer and she created another amazing story with The Billionaire Unknown.

I was given an ARC for an honest review. This is one of J.S. Scott's best novels. It was an interesting story with lots of emotion and some suspense, with the kidnapping of Harper's sister by terrorists. The mistaken identity of the hero and the miscommunication between Blake and Harper was well written. There are steamy sex scenes but they are all appropriate for the story line. Very enjoyable read.
I am a J.S. Scott fan girl, she never lets me down. I could not stop reading this book. Blake and Harper are fascinating characters. I am hoping that we will hear more on some of the secondary characters. This is one of the best Obsession series books and I have read them all! :) Thank you Jan for introducing me to the Colters! This book will release on 1/31 but you can preorder it now!
Blake and Harper have the biggest misunderstanding of all time. I was so glad they got to the bottom of it and found a way forward past everything that had come between them in 12 years. Danis situation was a tough one to read about . I look forward to seeing how she recovers, and Marcus's role in it!
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I freaking love their story. First off, the prelude/prologue sets up this book nicely. Then the flow of their story was incredible. I always enjoy reading books by JS Scott but she absolutely nailed this one. The way everything unfolded and how it all came together was perfect. Of course, she once again threw in real life problems in there.
This book is fantastic and I HIGHLY recommend it. If you've read her books and enjoy her writing then be prepared to be amazed and if she's new to you or if you just find her stories ok, please give this one a shot. I didn't want to put it down.
Well, I loved it! I loved both the leads. It was hot, clever, sweet, romantic. Blake was a fantastic & unusual alpha male and so kind. I was totally in the mood to read something like this & it was great. Probably one of my favs from this whole series. I don't want to give this book away since the first part is a twist that leads to a second chance but it's clever! Recommend.
No es de las mejores novelas de los multimillonarios, pero ha estado entretenida. Para mi gusto, demasiadas escenas eróticas. Y cuando digo demasiadas, no exagero.
Por lo demás, casi me ha intrigado más la "relación" de Marcus y Dani que la propia de Blake y Heather. Soy más de acción, ya lo sabéis.
Holy Blake. Blake colter has been the brother that has been around in the back ground. Marcus' twin that you never really saw a lot of until now. For 12 years he has held out hope that he will one day get back the one woman that got away and wonder what happened to make her run. And when he finally has her in his arms again and in his bed he has no plans of letting her go. Harper Lawson has no idea that it wasn't Marcus colter that rescued her and gave her the very best night of her life and the broke her heart. When she needs his help she realizes she feels nothing for the man she had held close to her heart for years. A family doctor name and a few speaks causes her even more confusion until she learns it was never Marcus but Blake that stole her heart from her and no matter how much she tries to tell herself otherwise she never got it back. I loved finally getting to see Blake and understand more about him who he is and what has kept his heart all these years. By the time I got to the epilogue I was cheering along and so excited to see the future and what it held for these two amazing people. Another absolutely must read.
Another spectacular book by J.S. Scott!!! This book is the love story of Blake Colter and Harper Lawson. When these two got together years earlier, when they were younger, there was a misunderstanding that caused them to distant them selfs. In the present, Harper finds out her sister, who is a field reporter, has been kidnapped by terrorists. The only one she thinks can save her is Blake's brother Marcus. With Marcus in danger looking for Danica, Blake takes Harper to his ranch to protect her from the media. When Harper sees Blake again can they resolve all their problems??? When the truth comes out and secrets are revealed can their love survive?? The heat that comes off these two when they are together is off the charts!!! Definitely a one click buy!! You will not be able to put this book down once you start!!!
Blake and Harper make such a great couple. Their love story was super sweet and I was thrilled that they got their HEA, even if it took 12+ years. Great read and looking forward to Marcus and (hopefully) Dani's story next!
It's not a secret that I'm a huge J.S. Scott fan. In my eyes she is the unquestioned queen of all billionaire books. Her stories are like a cure for my heart. Whenever I feel down I make sure to pick a book from her to lift my spirits.
Billionaire Unknown is book #10 in the The Billionaire's Obsession series and is the story about Blake Colter and Harper Lawson.
At the age of eighteen Harper learned an important lesson the hard way. Growing up in a rich family, she lived a priviled life she took for granted until it was taken away from her. From that moment on she promised to change. And she did! Now, at the age of thirty she is living a nice life and having a booming career as an architect. In her free time she is doing charity work and building shelters for homeless people.
When her sister Dani is kidnapped by terrorists, while travelling to war-torn countries as a field reporter, Harper has no other option than to approach the last person she ever wanted to see again for help: Marcus Colter, the guy who took her virginity and broke her heart 12 years ago!
Seeing him again after all this time surprisingly doesn't affect her. The guy she once had feelings for feels like a stranger to her now. There is no chemistry between them! But when Harper meets Blake, Marcus identical twin brother, every emotion she thought she'd have for him is suddenly present for his gorgeous sibling.
The more time she spends with Blake waiting for her sister to be rescued, the more she is attracted to him.
Soon Harper's entire world will be turned upside down when she finds out that everything she thought was true, wasn't the truth at all...
Billionaire Unknown was everything I was hoping for and so much more! Jan made me fall in love with this beautiful and touching story that is among my most favorite billionaire books ever! Prepare yourself to swoon for the compassionate and romantic US senator Blake and the lady of his heart Harper. I have to give it to Jan that she managed to surprise me with some twists I never saw coming. I was glued to my kindle the entire time and couldn't put it down until I finished. I recommend this book from the bottom of my heart. If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels and will leave you in a happy place, this book is for you. Great job J.S.Scott!
this book was fantastic. I love how Author Js pulls u in to her books and this is no different. U will be amazed and fall in love with Julian . He is so yummy u just want to eat him up. How would u handle taking the virginity of someone then not seeing them again for years. Hmm to find out how Julian handles this then u must read this book. lol yes it get intense and will have u laughing. Thank u again Author js for another fantastic 5 star book. I can't wait to get my hands on Xanders dook. He has already pulled at my heart strings with the little I've read about him this far. So can't wait. I know it gonna be fabulous, as is all of the books I've read by Js.
OK, so I liked that book. I did. I really enjoyed both main characters. I love love LOVE that neither of them had sex after they were with each other 12 years ago. Blake was just the perfect man in my eyes. He just fiercely loved her after just meeting for one night...and he was set. No need to loose himself in other women when he found the one he was destined to be with. I loved Harper because she used to be this spoiled little brat and she corrected herself. She realized there was so much more to being rich and really took her life in an amazing direction. Now...what I didn't like. I don't like that Harper had a miscarriage from that one night. Had one tube taken out due to a ectopic pregnancy and then had tons of scar tissue on the other, which made her infertile. She wouldn't stay with Blake because she felt that he should have a woman who could give him babies. He said no way, you're mine and we can always adopt. Now...pretty much the next time they have sex, she gets knocked up. In my eyes...way way WAY too easy. I would have rather seen them adopt and then maybe a couple years or even far down in the future, they get the gift of pregnancy. I just felt that Her ability to get pregnant was such a huge reason towards the conflict and then it was like...oops just kidding, here take this fertilized egg. I don't know how to explain it...maybe too much of a happy ending...too fast of a happy ending. I mean i love happy endings, but this one didn't do it for me.
Billionaire Unknown is part of The Billionaires Obsession and is the story of Blake Colter and Harper Lawson. They have known of each other most of their lives and they had a brief sexual interlude twelve years earlier that never went anywhere, mostly because of mistaken identities and failure to communicate. But now Harper needs the help of Marcus Colter, Blake's twin brother, to help her find her missing sister, Dani. Twelve years apart has done nothing to cool the passion between these two, the only difference being that they are now adults instead of teenagers. That's about all I can say, I don't want to spoil the story for anyone. Let's just say that things happened in the past that changed the future for Harper and Blake. Will they find her sister in time, will Blake and Harper get beyond their past, or will secrets revealed tear them apart? This is a fantastic book that you will not want to miss if you are a fan of J.S. Scott, and even if you have never read anything by her, you will not be lost or confused if you read this one. I did not want to put this one down, it was loaded with romance, suspense, real life problems, and very interesting characters. I cannot wait to read more about Marcus, he is a real piece of work. Five glowing stars for this one!!
I have to review this as I go along. First, no one talks like she does. She's a complete witch and suddenly does a complete turnaround? Language, why so much with the "F" word? Does this author have stock in BMW? She has specifically mentioned in her last three books that they drive a BMW SUV. Does it further the storyline? No. Very repetitive writing, especially as it pertains to the sex scenes. "Take me. Now." followed by screaming in climax. Sheesh! I do have to say that I LOVED that neither of them had been with someone else since they were together before. Oh, and being in love with someone, wanting to be with them more than your next breath, but leaving instead of talking to them? Just no. And the "secret"? Upon reading it, you just KNEW what was going to happen after that. Just very predictable. Didn't care for the multiple viewpoints, as it then turned into first person narrative, which I hate. Oh, and too much Marcus and Dani. This isn't their book, after all.
Lo lamento, pero no me ha gustado. La trama no me ha parecido nada del otro mundo, más bien es bastante simplona. Algunos giros de la historia me han resultado forzados como intentando darle, sin conseguirlo, más chicha a una trama pobre y repetitiva: me cansa que repitan cien veces lo mismo. Se supone que pasan doce años hasta que se vuelven a ver, pero los diálogos no me han parecido de adultos, sino de adolescentes. Y luego está la traducción, que es bastante justita, con múltiples errores en tiempos verbales, frases incoherentes, errores de género..., y la edición tiene muchísimas erratas: faltan o sobran artículos, preposiciones... etc. En fin, que no lo he disfrutado y me esperaba muchísimo más a juzgar por las valoraciones, que supongo que son tan altas debido a que hay muchísimas escenas de sexo, aunque ni siquiera esas escenas me han parecido contadas con gusto... 🤦🏻♀️. Me intriga la historia de Marcus y Danica, así que es probable que le de otra oportunidad a esta serie. Ya veremos. Mi puntuación un 3.
Continuo leyendo la serie, interesante, romántica, pero con algunos puntos que no son muy creíbles y que francamente no esperaba que la autora los pusiera, no encontré el espíritu de protección. Ni de posesión que la autora había plasmado con anterioridad en las otras entregas, es un buen libro entretiene, es muy lijero y agradable de leer, pero no superó mis espectativas. 🤷♀️ #LCLAmantedelaLectura
Great pick for readers looking for straightforward, steamy, second chance romance. It's an easy read that moves quickly. No slow burn here. Not my favorite of the series (both MCs staying celibate for 12 years?), but I'll keep the next one on my TBR.
J.S. Scott continues to astound me!! Time after time, she pens sizzling hot, swooningly romantic, REFRESHINGLY UNIQUE, billionaire tales that never fail to ignite my heart and electrify my soul!!!! And her current hero, the oh-so-sexy Senator Blake, gives all the billionaire bbf's that came before him a serious run for their money!
BILLIONAIRE UNKNOWN, the tenth installment in the wildly popular Billionaire Obsession series, is a spellbinding second chance romance featuring Blake Colter and Harper Lawson who were torn asunder 12 years prior. A heartbreaking misunderstanding led Harper to believe that the man of her dreams, who she gave her precious virginity to in a weekend of unbridled passion after he rescued her from a homeless shelter, was a cheating scoundrel! (Spoiler alert: She slept with Blake--thinking he was his twin brother Marcus--and it was MARCUS not Blake who she caught in a steamy liplock with a gorgeous brunette. Got it?!)
Now in the present story, Harper is forced under EXTREME DURESS to enter Marcus’s orbit again because she needs his stealthy CIA prowess in helping to rescue her sister Dani, a foreign news correspondent who has been kidnapped by terrorists. In the meantime, Marcus's twin Blake, who is now a high-powered and devastatingly sexy U.S. Senator--and a man she finds herself impossibly, MAGNETICALLY, drawn to, whisks her off to his sprawling ranch to avoid the media vultures.
Sparks and explosive passions ignite as they are forced into close proximity. Blake is determined to clear up a HUGE romantic misunderstanding, and passionately reclaim the only women he's ever loved...the women who got away...the women who is the other half of his soul!!! Can these two find a way to right past wrongs, rebuild trust and mend one another’s broken hearts? Can Marcus bring Dani home safe and sound?? Can Blake and Harper get another chance at forever? Finding the answers to these billion $ questions is delightfully intense and wickedly fun!
As always, J.S. Scott crafted an EXHILARATING romance, a pure joyride with many a twists and turns that had me enraptured from start to finish. Her tantalizingly sexy billionaire heroes are beyond irresistible and Blake Coulter is no exception! I just adore his gruffly possessive, sweetly chivalrous, take-charge persona, and there is nothing stopping this HOT ALPHA CAVEMAN from staking a claim on the feisty, utterly adorable woman who got away!
The erotic interludes between Blake and Harper were BLAZING HOT, the emotional connection so EXQUISITELY TENDER it left me breathless, and the drama and intrigue had SHIVERY TINGLES coursing up and down my spine!! There is wonderful character development and delicious friction throughout, and J.S. Scott does a fantastic job of setting up Marcus and Dani's story, as well as delving into the plight of the homeless within the framework of an upbeat romance.
Blake and Harper have a lot of obstacles to overcome, past and present, and the tension is palpable. But the resolution was well worth the heartache! It was so touching and poignant and PROFOUNDLY BEAUTIFUL it brought tears of joy to my eyes, had my sighing in contentment and basking in the giddy bliss of a romantic reunion that was 12 years in the making!
Sigh!! Only in Author J.S. Scott’s books do I ever fantasize about having my very own Billionaire to love me. It’s not about the money, I mean obviously it doesn’t hurt to be spoiled every now and then. It’s more the passion, love, protectiveness and yes even the possessiveness. I mean it’s one complete hot package. Whenever I read a book in this series, I can’t help but smile. It just warms me up inside. Then when things become intense and sexually charged, I do declare I am no longer warm but as hot as a volcano about to erupt.
Blake Colter, aww yes I’m sighing again. He is such a beautiful man inside and out. He wears his heart on his sleeve, not a chance he could hide his feelings for the woman he loves most in the world. Marcus Colter I find myself giggling when thinking of him. I dare say his story will be one not to be missed. He is the silent, strong brudey type. God, I can see it all now, I bet he can light up a bedroom like no other Billionaire. These two incredibly magnificent men are very much identical twins but only in features, everything else they are so non-identical.
Harper was once a spoiled brat until something so profound happened when she was eighteen years old, and trust a Colter boy to be right in the center of it. The events of over a decade ago changed Harper and left Colter with the question, Why? For to many years to count.
Speeding up to the present day Harper’s sister Dani goes missing, well she’s actually kidnapped. Jesus, who would go into hostile territory willingly? Not me that’s for sure. Harper feels she is left with no other option but to come face to face with Marcus Colter, and beg him to help save her sister. Now when reading this encounter I was shouting at my kindle because let’s face it when you know something and the character doesn’t know what you know, it becomes a situation where you want them to know. You know what I mean? Yeah, I know I am losing the plot but it just goes to show you how into the story I was.
While plans were set in motion and the bad boy, Marcus Colter was away to save the day. Blake Colter was stepping into Marcus’s shoes once again. Blake and Harper were getting along famously but Blake didn’t want to take advantage of Harper. I mean she was in a vulnerable state with her sister being held hostage, so he was playing the part of a gentleman. Did Harper need a gentleman right now though? Of course not, she wanted him to ripped her clothes off and buried himself so deep in her he couldn’t find his way back out. WOW!! Yeah, it was so good.
Funny thing is I thought I had this story all worked out, but nope yet again this Author blew my socks right off with the nail biting scenes and surprises I didn’t even think of. For that reason alone I couldn’t rate this book anything other five billion stars.
I will always be a lover of Author J.S.Scott’s Billionaire’s Obsession. This series had me hooked way back when I first met Simon Hudson, you may have heard of me mentioning him once of a billion times. It’s become my obsession, I am what’s known in the blogging community as a One Click Aholic for these books. I recommend you read your next obsession and download Blake.
I'm a big fan of J.S. Scott's novels and I'm excited that she has another book for me to devour. Billionaire Unknown is full of passion, suspense and discovering love.
Blake and Marcus are identical twins, but Blake tends to take over for Marcus when the need arises. Blake is a Senator, while Marcus works for the CIA and did rescue missions on the side.
Twelve years ago Blake had to find a friend of the family's daughter (Harper) as she ran away after being cut out finically from her parents. Blake rescues Harper from a homeless shelter and they have a one night of passion.
Harper now needs help to rescue her sister (Dani) who has been kidnapped by rebel group in Syria, so she goes to Marcus for help. As Marcus goes undercover, Blake steps in to take his place; however, he doesn't anticipate his reaction when he sees Harper again as she is the only woman for him.
Can Blake resist Harper and does Harper know that it was Blake that she gave her heart to twelve years ago? Emotions run high and passion gives way to love during some hot sizzling love scenes between Harper and Blake. Is Dani rescued and how does that affect the relationship between Harper and Blake?
I loved how J.S. Scott interchanged the storyline between the twins as it gave me insight to how different they were. I highly recommend any of J.S. Scott's books, but this one is a must read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Novel: Can be read as a standalone within The Billionaire's Obsession series. Characters: Alpha male, strong and independent women. Easy to fall in love with the characters and engages the readers emotions. Writing: Very smooth, developed, even paced with twists and turns. Storyline: Sexy, passionate love story with a HEA Heat: Sizzling
J. S. Scott is one of my all time favorite authors and has been for awhile. I can't get enough of her books. Each time she releases a new one it is my favorite till the next one comes out. I have to say though Billionaire Unknown: Blake, really is her best one yet. Blake and Harper have known each other almost all their lives but never really spent much time together till Harper was 18 and Blake was 22. Harper ran away from home and Blake found her and brought her home. That night Harper gave her virginity to Blake and created a connection with him that would last forever but thanks to a misunderstanding, their time together was cut way short and they would not see each other again for 12 years. Now Harper's sister, Dani, has been kidnapped and Harper goes to Blake's brother, Marcus, for help. When Harper and Blake are brought back into each other's lives the connection is still there. The attraction and chemistry just as intense. Will things be different this time? Will they find out the truth behind the misunderstanding from 12 years prior? Are their feelings for each other strong enough to survive secrets from the past? Will Marcus succeed in rescuing Dani before it's too late?
I was waiting patiently for the release of this book. I had read the prequel and I just new this was going to be another 5 star read. Author J.S. Scott has once again delivered a solid and epically romantic story, where true Love stands the test of Time. Harper and Blake are another match made in heaven, although they must overcome some obstacles in order for their relationship to fully blossom. I feel there is a huge twist in the plot so I wouldn't like to spoil the enjoyment for readers by saying too much. All I can say is that I couldn't put this book down and once again Jan has completely captivate me with a formidable plot and all I want from a Contemporary steamy romance. Regardless of the trials and tribulations we often see in the books we know we will get our HEA and that we will completely and irrevocably fall in love with another Alpha Billionaire. Blake is no longer unknown to me and for that I am truly thankful. One top pic for my reads so far and surely another BESTSELLER!!
We've been watching as each member of the Colter family finds love in this series. After the teaser Ms. Scott released around Christmas I've been looking forward to Blake's story. Being a twin can be hard when you look just like each other. Especially when you find a person you feel is your ever after and she mistakes you for him! Then when it takes 12 years to we them again and only then does she learn the truth it can be down right painful. I really enjoyed the emotions I was given in this book. There were things I didn't expect which makes me love a book even more. Keep giving me these twists and I will keep reading!
I'm not going to lie...I devoured this book, I figured out pretty much what Harper's hang ups were as well as called what was revealed in the Epilogue. You never see a male character like Blake in books and I love how he was written. J. S. Scott is an amazing writer and one of my go to authors and this book is a prime example why.
Not only did we get Harper and Blake's story but we also got to see what's in store for Marcus, I have no doubts Marcus will end up with Harper's sister Dani...their chemistry is off the charts even if they annoy one another.
Overall this was a great addition to this series and I can't wait to read about Marcus.
