My whole life, I never fit anywhere, with anyone, and then when I finally find someone who makes me feel special, he's engaged to my half-sister. I knew I should be able to get over him, move past it all, but somehow, I don't think it'll be that easy.
When Allie Dodd receives an invitation to a charity event, the last thing she wants to do is risk seeing Jal Lindstrom again. She knows, however, that she has obligations to her family, and that means that she needs to put her own feelings aside. With her best friend at her side, she tells herself that she can handle anything for a couple hours. Little does she know that everything is about to change...again.

I didn't love this series, I thought the h was a reverse snob and had an annoying chip on her shoulder. I understand you don't want to end up like your Mom but it's not fair to lump all rich people together just because your experience with one sucks. The H was a little bit of a bitch that let the women in his life rule him. Allie Dodd is a 21 year old hair stylist who works at a posh salon in Philadelphia (yay ! Where I live). Her Mom was a nanny for a wealthy family and she ended up falling in love with her married employer. He was married with two daughters when he got her Mom pregnant and Allie was the result. Her Mom finally left the job and the man when Allie was 16 and married her stepfather and had her little brother, TJ. Her Mom, StepDad and little brother are all deaf and sometimes Allie feels like an outsider in her own home. Jal Lindstrom is a rich successful businessman who is being pressured by his Mother to propose to his pregnant "fuck buddy". His Mother is all about status and appearances and feels Paisley is the perfect wife for him (even if he doesn't love her). Jal needed to get a set of balls because he was a total pussy and a moron at times, his Mom told him what to do and so did Paisley. And they were both horrendous bitches for what they tried to do to him.
With Jal torn between doing the right thing or being with someone that can make him happy. Jal needs to see Allie after how they left things s d sets up to see her at an event she wouldn't miss. But when she sees Diamond and Paisley things get ugly and of course they will spin the story that Allie is manipulative and wants Jal for all the wrong reasons. Jal had hurt Allie and said some hurtful things that he might not be able to take back. Jal don't know what to believe until he has a talk with someone who knows what happened and he feels sick that he believed such hatred out of Diamond. But the most shock is what Paisley says that will have Jal furious. You can't help feel bad for Allie and wants to put Diamond in her place. Can't wait to read what happens next
Received arc from author in exchange for an honest review
The Billionaire's Mistress 3 was nothing less than shockingly brilliant quite honestly. M.S. Parker is so adept at throwing you curve balls and creating those characters that you love to hate a little too well at times. In other words she will give you kindle rage. You know the kind where you want to smash the thing to bits because you're so angry with the horrible actions of some of the characters. Yep. That happens this book.
But the storyline is impeccable. Quite honestly I was glued to this and unable to stop reading. I literally ignored everything around me. Allie is so torn up over what's happened that she is emotional and we are taken on one helluva roller coaster ride along with her. And her best friend Tao let me just say I LOVE him to pieces. Love that boy. Now, for the good stuff this book is full of angst, action, drama and some incredible suspense. We find our characters caught in massive webs of deceit that just make you want to smack someone. But through it all no matter what Allie does her best to stay strong. Jal continues to question whether he is making the right choice and if Paisley is really the right one for him or not. I have my own opinion about that but I'll leave you to form your own after reading it. ;)
This really is an incredible series and true to Parker style she leaves us hanging with one heck of a cliffy at the end. Thankfully we don't have to long to wait until the next installment. I'm ready to see how this thing is wrapped up! The suspense is killing me!
Wow! The Billionaire's Mistress 3 is very shocking—the author writes with so many twists and turns and her MC with flashes of bright insight and angst, they feel real and human, they feel like someone I could know or be friends with. That is the mark of a brilliant book. The fallout from book 2 continues into book 3- The Deaf fundraiser does bring Jal, Paisley and her mom Diamond along with Tao and Allie together under the same building. Allie's stepsister and Diamond throw hateful accusations toward Allie that involve greed, money and such about Allie that Jal finds hard to imagine. Jai had said some hurtful things toward Allie that he didn’t mean and now he cannot take them back—all because he listened to someone without having all the facts. He then went to someone he did have more insight and knowledge—can he repair his relationship with Allie? Allie on the other hand, goes to Tao who is her best friend for comfort. Will Allie ever wants to repair her relationship with Jai? Her feelings go from one extreme to another. The explosions that abound are outrageous during the night will lead to a chain reaction down the line. What will happen next? I cannot wait for the next book.
My rating: 4.6 stars ***** **I was given an ARC by the author in exchange for an honest review***
Received this complimentary arc copy from the author for an honest review. A Break, A Break..... Well Jal needs more than a break from Paisley. He is torn because she is pregnant as well and he wants to do the right thing. Oh my what a shambles. At an upcoming charity event, Jal invites Allie and friend.....she takes Tao with her. What happens that evening can only be described as utter chaos and mayhem. It's like being put in a room with your worst enemy and nightmares. Poor Allie . Secrets revealed, big, big lies told and Jal so confused , blaming Allie !!!!!!what!!!! The emotions going on in this story would make your blood pressure rocket sky high....phew. Makes you wonder I anything can be salvaged after this. Then the best bit, yes there is more. Confessions from Kendrick AND Paisley. WOW. It like a case of, light the blue touch paper and wait for the fireworks. In a hurry now to read the last part . Riveting reading
I seriously have no words for this series right now, M.S. Parker has completely blown me away. I didn’t think that so much action, tension, romance could all be thrown together in a way that this book has been written, as always I was never bored with the events of what was going on. I seriously love where the storyline is going, I feel really bad for Allie in this book because everything gets thrown in her face when it was never her fault for anything that’s happened. I know that this is the first time that I have mentioned names in the reviews for this series but if you read this for yourself you’ll be thinking that you don’t want to give anything away at all. I honestly have no idea what’s in store for Allie because she is such a sweet person who doesn’t think of herself and puts others before her, so it will be interesting to see the outcome of everything that she has been put through.
Jal, spent a perfect evening with Allie, as much as he tried to convince himself it was just friendship he couldn't let the thought go of how much he enjoyed her company and how different she was from his fiance. He couldn't didn't believe it was love, but he new he couldn't move forward with out her in his life. Allie, was caught up in the romance of Jal, she convinced herself it was alright to continue spending time with him even though he was engaged. Not understanding what she was feeling for him she allowed herself to be swept up in one night...just one! Running away the next morning, she felt loss and pain. Knowing if she kept seeing him secrets would be revealed and she couldn't let him find out about her...her mom...her sister. Receiving an invitation for a charity day he was sponsoring for the hearing impaired, she decided one more night and she would walk away from him forever. Do things ever work out that easy?
HOLY WOW book three was just amazing, the twists and turns, the gut wrenching feelings that it will evoke and the absolute disgust that I am feeling at this moment for Diamond and her daughter are just some of the highlights of this book, and we cannot forget to mention the jaw dropping cliff hanger at the end of the book, if there was an award given for best cliff hanger endings it would have to go to MS Parker.
At the start of this book Allie is invited to attend a function hosted by Jal and his company, what harm could attending this event have, well for everyone involved, it starts a chain reaction of events that will send everyone's world spinning to say the least.
After book three I am left wondering who is going to come out on top of this mess of a web. Cannot wait for book four.
"I didn't need a picture to know I never looked like that when I was with Paisley because I never felt much of anything when I was with her."
Jal is spinning his wheels trying to figure out what to do with his life. "It's one thing to believe in love. It's another thing to feel hopeless about the rest of your f***ing life."
The Deaf fundraiser bringing Jal, Paisley and her mom Diamond and Tao and Allie together under the same roof. Allie's stepsister and Diamond throw accusations of greed, money and other things about Allie that Jal finds hard to believe.
Meanwhile, Allie is being consoled by Tao her best friend and "my sometimes-lover, the only person who knew all of me, hold me while I cried.
This book raced along, with characters feeling more and needing more from their lives. Great writing and another wonderful cliffhanger!
OH MY GOSH!! The abuse my poor kindle gets when I get to the end of a book by M.S. Parker!! It's a wonder it still works! This is another great installment in the Billionaire's Mistress series! Each book seems to have more drama than the one before and has me getting less and less sleep at night, because I have to know!!
Jal and his tangled web continues in this book! He's an idiot, yet I feel for him! Also, in this book I absolutely abhor Diamond and Paisley!! Hopefully Jal grows a brain and kicks her to the curb!
Ali attends a fundraiser with Tao, where proceeds are to go to a Deaf foundation. Of course, Jal, Diamond and Paisley are there as well. How does that go with all of them in the same room? Talk about a potential explosion!!!
What a cliffhanger!!! I'm looking forward to reading book 4 in this series! I know it's going to be amazing!!
The plot thickens... Things start to get intense when Jal's future mother in law, Diamond, sees him dancing with Allie at a fundraiser event for the deaf community. Jal has no idea the connection Allie had with his fiancée, Paisley and the Hedges family. He learns the secret of their connection and is manipulated to believe the lies told by Diamond making Allie seem like a gold digger. Unsatisfied with a biased story, he's determined to find out the truth and confronts Kendrick, Paisley's father. After hearing the answers he sought, he must now make the choice to follow his heart or his "obligations" as set forth by his mother.
Another cliffy, but I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens next.
Allie is a strong self efficient, strong willed, hard working girl. Her dad is a billionaire whom her mom worked for, but unfortunately circumstances led his current wife to dictate he basically sever ties to Allie. Jal still unable to forget their unforgettable night, their connection is so strong, his fiancé's mother, Diamond who is married to Allie's biological dad- makes out Allie to be a conniving/ plotting girl. Where will this story go, who will Jal believe?
More action, more secrets revealed, and more lies are at the center of book 3 in this tumultuous serial. Jal shows himself to be smart in business but a little dense when it comes to women. He actually briefly believes his future mother-in-law and fiancé's lies and accuses Allie of pursuing him, despite his relentless pursuit of her. Come on, dude!!! But he quickly relies his foolishness and tries to get to the truth. Allie is furious with him...but can she stay away??? Book 4 ... Bring it on!!!
The fallout continues from book 2 into book 3. The plot twists and turns reel you in. I was so annoyed that I wanted to smack some of the characters in this story. I love that M.S. makes these characters come to life like I am right there in the middle of it. Another charity event brings everyone full circle....Allie, Jal, Paisley (the half sister), Diamand (the annoying mom to Paisley and the troublemaker) and Tao. Everyone wants the truth...secrets are coming to light and everything is about to explode. Can't wait to see what happens next!
OMG this series just keeps getting juicier! When Allie receives an invitation in the mail to a benefit for the deaf she know's Jal has something to do with it. It includes a plus 1 so she decides to ask Tao her best friend who tries to talk her out of going to no avail, she's going! While at the party she sees Jal talking to none other than Diamond, her real fathers wife, this has nothing but trouble written all over it. What happens on this fateful night will hurt a lot of people, words will be said can it ever be repaired? You need to read and find out!
Years of not feeling as if she fit in anywhere, not with her hearing impaired family or her rich father and her two half sisters has left Allie missing one thing. Love. And after gala seeing Diamond, Paisley and hearing the hurtful things Jal said to her she is feeling even more alone then ever. But when Jal decides to man up and confront Paisley the bomb she drops on him is something he never expected. What will it mean for his future. For Allie's future?
Jal can't stop thinking about Allie. He doesn't know how to contact her. When he finds that one of his contacts has her info, but they won't give it to him. They'll invite her to the charity gala he's sponsoring. Allie is on the fence about going to the event. She decides to go and is confronted with her past. This 3rd installment of the Billionaire's Mistress Series is fantastic. I love this series and am excited for the next book.
My temper was definitely getting the better of me in this book! I wanted to scream and cry all t the same time. I love Allie's character. She is a beautiful person, inside and out. I wanted to do serious damage to Diamond and Paisley. M S Parker really knows how to create such despicable characters, for me to hate. How could have Jal believed , even for a second, the worst in Allie. Not sure where book four will go. All I know is I need the book NOW!
So good! The push and pull, the choice Jal has to make is painful to read. Can he spend his life tied to a woman he doesn't love? One he doesn't really like? Or does he pursue a woman he's obsessed with? Can Jal give Allie the benefit of doubt or does he need more time? M.S. Parker has left another beautiful cliffhanger! A must read series!
Woo Wee....that was some drama!! Poor Allie though, yes her decisions were leading her up to sadness and regret, but I still feel bad for her. And Jal, man, I like the guy, but then he does some stupid crap that makes me wanna strangle him. Lol. I literally wanted to tear Diamond's head off, that woman is just mean!!! So excited for book 4!!!
O.M.G!!! This series has got me crazy. What an emotional roller coaster ride with all the twists and turns, I just could not put it down. The hurt and deceit that goes on is horrible. I am so disgusted with Diamond and her conniving daughter Paisley. And talk about a cliffhanger, I can not wait for book 4.
The Billionaire's Mistress 3 (The Billionaire's Mistress Series Books #3) by M.S. Parker. Jal & Allie's story with plenty of chemistry, sizzle, angst, emotion, and family drama - as fate throw them together. Will love win in the end? Well worth the read to find out.
The 3rd book is getting very interesting. Jal keeps manipulating Allie. He is still engaged to Presley. There are entitled billionaires, b**chy, entitled rich women. How does all this effect Allie?
Wow, things are really getting intense. Ally's background is revealed to Jal and things are heating up on all fronts. Couldn't put the book down until I had it finished! Loved it. Can't wait to see how it all pans out.
Another brilliant installment from MS Parker, Im actually sat on the edge of my seat I need more NOW! With the way Parker writes you can feel the tension building and then pow it all starts to unravel.
