Wicked Billionaire
Sleeping with her will ruin my reputation... and I just don't care.
Entertaining a client isn't new to me. Entertaining a whole company on a giant cruise ship is. I knew I needed more help, but I never expected it to come in the form of a curvaceous little spitfire named Havana Skye.
She's supposed to be making my job easier... but fighting off the urge to steal her away and peel her clothes from her body is taking all my energy.
Standing beside her makes me ache and throb. I know she notices, I've caught her glancing at the tent in my pants. It's not easy to miss...
When I find out she's the niece of the CEO I'm trying to win over, I understand why she's resisting me.
If we get caught, this deal is screwed. My reputation is done for.
Is making Havanna moan my name worth the risk of losing everything?
The answer is simple: Yes.
Very, very much yes.

(I was provided an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review)
I think this is my favorite Luke Steel book so far! It was a quick and easy read but so enjoyable. First off, I LOVE the names of the main characters, Jet Flourish and Havana Skye! There's not a whole lot of angst, but there are some speed bumps on their road to happily ever after, and the ride overall is a very fun one. Havana is a smart, capable, and hard working heroine and Jet is handsome, emotionally available (this is an oh-so-important trait for me in male characters), and sexy as all get out. And speaking of sex - the scenes are fantastic (which is to be expected from Mr. Steel).
The pacing is a bit fast, but that makes sense given the length of the novella. Luke Steel books always leave me satisfied, yet thirsty for more - and Wicked Billionaire is no exception!

First, the editing and proofreading were almost impeccable, which is always a big plus for me. But in regards to the story, this was surprisingly tame for Luke Steel. The build-up between Havana and Jet was evident, but it wasn't as tense as I expected. There were a few hiccups in their quest to be together, but nothing significant, nothing powerful enough to make me want to keep reading past my bedtime.
I really wanted to like this more, because I'm a fan of Luke Steel's, but this didn't feel like it was written by the same author. It was lacking in the dirtiness I've come to look forward to (yay for smut!) and the anxiety of "can they overcome this" or "will they survive this" just wasn't there.
I still really look forward to Luke Steel's next book.

There is just something decadent about reading a romance book by a male author. Luke Steel sure does bring a whole lot of heat with the male MCs POV. He is fast becoming one of my favourite authors for a quick and easy sexy story. This book was no different. Insta-love between two well-suited characters, steamy sex scenes with the backdrop of a cruise ship and one annoying uncle later, you have this fun and entertaining read.

Note: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Pros: This is a short, flirty little story that would make a good beach read. The two main characters have chemistry and you'll be rooting for them the whole time.
Cons: It's very short so there's not a lot of character development. The author skips over a week of action that could have been used to flesh this out into a full novel. The timeline makes the whole thing feel a little over the top, as do the character names. The title and cover don't fit with the story at all.
Overall: Not a bad book but not my favorite by this author.

I was given an ARC for Wicked Billionaire and I have to say that Luke Steel is one of my favorite authors. I love that his stories are a fast, short read. I still feel that I know that characters by the end and I always love HEA's with no cheating. Writing might not be perfect, but I'm a reader, not an editor. It's definitely worth a read.

Jet needs to woo a small cruise line company into using his hotel chain for their needs, and what better way to do that than to take them on a cruise themselves, to show what his company can do and give them a taste of the luxuries offered at their resorts? To that end, Jet hires Havana, a cruise director recommended by the CEO of the company Jet is attempting to woo, to plan and execute a flawless luxury cruise. Considering the target for the journey is a group of management and higher-ups at the cruise line..Jet and Havana have to be on their A-game to succeed.
The crazy spark of chemistry between Jet and Havana threatens to throw things off kilter, especially when the CEO mentions that Havana is actually his niece, and seems to be trying to keep them apart from one another. Indeed, he voraciously attempts to catch the two together throughout the story, and if he does, it will mean Jet losing the bid for the contract to a competitor that holds a grudge against Jet for his past honesty.
Can Jet and Havana make it work and come out the other side with their contract, or will they lose each other and the deal?
This was well worth .99 cents, though I did receive an ARC copy.

Jet, a successful CEO was looking for someone to assist him with all the details and planning so he can entertain a whole company on a cruise shop He hires Havana Skye because she is one of the best out there. Once he actually meets her he's instantly attracted to her and she's all he thinks about. The chemistry between these two is there and they both know it. Will their personal relationship affect their business relationship or will they be able to have it all?
This is my second book by this author and I really liked them both. The characters were likable and I liked how they didn't let anyone or anything get in their way. This is a great quick book that left me wanting to read more about Havana and Jet. I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.

I was given the ARC for this today and finished it in a few hours. It's a light romance with not a lot of conflict. This is a fast, insta-lust story, which, I imagine, would hit the spot for readers who like to go straight to the romance in the first few chapters. The male character, Jet, seems like an easygoing guy who didn't strike me as either alpha male or a billionaire. He and Havana seem more like equals or colleagues than boss and subordinate. The title really does not fit the male lead.
Overall though, it was a nice love story - too light and fast for my taste but could work for others.

Great book
It amazes me that LS can make a novella seem like a full book. I love this one just like I have all the others. I cried like a baby at the end.
My only complaint about some of Steeles books is that the epilogue is not included at the end. You have to sign up and that's not an issue because I was happy to do it. What was not happy about was actually not receiving the epilogue or a link to get to it. I'm not the only who has had this issue. With or without the epilogue the books are fantastic but of course I always love reading it. ;)

Wicked Billionaire 5 Star Review
By Luke Steel
This is a standalone short novella by Luke Steel and it is HOT!!! Luke writes some steamy books with extra hot alpha males. He tells the story in just the right way and has you hooked from the beginning until the end. He has a way of adding just enough suspense as well.
Jet is trying to win the contract for his hotels to partner with a cruise ship. He has to impress CEO Richard. This may be harder than he thinks because Richard has some secrets up his sleeve, one being his niece Havana. Jet is the ultimate alpha male and is out to impress. Can he do it and can he stay away for Havana if it means the difference between getting the deal or not?
Havana comes highly recommend from Richard to help organize the entertainment and food for the cruise. She is a good at what she does and will do everything she can to impress Jet in more ways than one.
The connection and chemistry between these two is off the charts and instant. They try hard to be professional and stay away from each other but the pull is just too strong. Will this connection and relationship be the death of the deal for Jet? Will this ruin her future it be the start of something amazing?
One- Click this one for a HOT Alpha Male that will have you wanting to be on this cruise ship with him.

Another fantastic job by Luke Steel!
He is most definitely going down on my list of all time male authors! It's so refreshing to read romance with a males input, especially when things start hotting up.
This story is another fun and sexy short read that is well written and flowed with ease and I really enjoyed the whole concept of the story. I really thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to see what's next.

LOVED the main characters - Jet and Havana.
They have a fabulous chemistry and they fit together. But do they dare to go all in?
Jet steps up as all alpha - LOVED IT! And that seems to make the difference.
Well written story with a great plot. Absolutely worth my time of reading it!
Would just have wished it was taken a bit further in the end - so we would get to read more about those two lovely people :)
Received ARC and this is my honest opinion.

Loved this read!
This was a complete story with suspense, humor, mystery, and love. I like that the hero knew what he wanted, risks be damned. I loved the heroine with her spicy attitude, confidence, and unwillingness to compromise.

With names like Havana and Jet you know this story is going to be hot! A strong attraction between two beautiful people will lead to a 'Smooth Sailing' adventure. Wicked Billionaire is a short read that doesn't leave anything out. I would highly recommend.

Wish the matter with the uncle could have been more theatrical. He needed to be sorted out better; told off.

I received this as an ARC for my unbiased review. All in all this is a really nice story about two people who find that they are a great match both professionally and personally. The beginning of the story felt a bit odd as the main character didn't seem the type to reach with such wild abandon when it came to an attraction that might be viewed as taboo. The female interest felt true as written. After the initial odd start, the story went along quickly and was a satisfying read. I liked that they fit together so well and I was rooting for them to find a way to be together. I did like the scene of confronting her uncle as it did tie things together well. I like the quick read and happy ending and enjoyed the story and feeling it left with me. I would like to have a bit of an epilogue to see how things went in their lives as i like that little crystal ball view to show a HEA. I recommend this book if you are looking for a feel good book with two characters that are very likable.

It's official, Luke Steel is a new favorite for me. He just gets me, it's like he takes what I want and turns it into word magic. I received an advanced copy of this book and it was once again perfection. The way he writes his characters is just incredible, he gives them so much depth and in short stories I find that to be amazing! His men are so head strong and dominate but he also gives them that vulnerability that you want from an alpha male, and Jet is no exception. He's determined to win a business deal and won't let anything get in the way, that is until he meets Havana. She's sexy and strong, never loosing sight of the bigger picture and what she wants to accomplish. Which is exactly what Havana does when she meets Jet. Instantly there's chemistry between the two but try to avoid it in order to be professional, but the body and mind want what they want and there's no avoiding it. But will their attraction for each other get in the way of success and are they willing to take the risk? This is A MUST READ!!

Jet is a successful CEO trying to land a big business deal by entertaining a whole company on a cruise ship. This is not his area of expertise, so he enlists Havana Skye to assist him with all of the details and planning.
Havana is great at what she does and Jet knows what an asset she is to help make this deal a success. The only issue is he’s attracted to her, all he can think about is getting her alone and having his wicked way with her. To make things more difficult, Jet finds out that Havana is the niece of the CEO he’s trying to impress. He needs this deal and is having a hard time deciding whether or not spending time with Havana is worth the risk.
It doesn't take long for Jet to decide that Havana is exactly what he wants. They can’t deny the chemistry between them and the two realize they are extremely compatible outside of work. This is a quick, sexy read with little conflict that keeps you wanting more every step of the way. I really enjoyed the characters and the sexiness between them was really hot. I would have loved to hear more about these characters and their relationship. I wanted more, but loved what I got!
I would recommend checking into Luke Steel!

Wicked Billionaire has it all. Jet wants to sign a deal with smooth sailing to use his exclusive boutique hotels. But in order to get the deal he must host a cruise with all the big wigs. Richard the the head of the company recommends his niece without telling jet its his neice for the job of cuirse director. Havana loves her job and can believe her uncle recommended her. She has everything set from welcome folders to all the meals and adventures they will go on. When she and Jet meet its an istant attraction. Jet can't keep his eyes off of her and she feels the same way. They start a secret relationship until one night her uncle makes an off handed comment. Sparking something Jet always wondered about when he hears him talking about how the deals is nothing to worry about he confonts Richard. Jet does the only thing he can he defends the women he loves. This book has it all. Luke Steel has done it again. I recieved this book as an arc and i am giving my honest review voluntarily.
March 13, 2017
Jet Flourish is working on a really important deal and, in order to give his potential partner an actual feel on the experience his company can provide, he is taking 34 people from Smooth Sail, Inc. on a 2 week cruise.
The need to land the deal is big, but Jet is not counting on the cruise director recommended by Richard at Smooth Sail, Havana Skye. The woman is professional, competent and too sexy for him to keep his focus on the end goal. Will he be able to pursue his attraction and, at the same time, overcome all obstacles to achieve this deal?
Once again, I’ve enjoyed this short story very much. With the background of the cruise ship and the veil threat of a deal on the line, the author delivers another sexy story, this time coming full circle. I really liked the characters and admired Jet creativity when it came to keep their attraction under wraps.
I can’t wait to read the next one!

What makes the perfect short romance/erotic read? Ask Luke steel he has pretty much got the formula spot on and Wicked Billionaire doesn't disappoint. Jet Flourish is the billionaire in question and yes he is oh so wicked. Havana Skye is sweet, sexy and sassy and the perfect match for our boy. Put them together and it's boom time and by boom time I mean their chemistry is off the charts. It's a fun read with our couple trying to get together and not get caught for the sake of Jet's business. Luke Steel writes great sex scenes but my only problem with the books is they aren't long enough and we don't get to see much character development but that's to be expected in a short read. Four and half stars and well worth a read.

Quick and sexy book. Jet is trying to land the biggest deal of his life. The man he is trying to woo has also recommended a young woman to work for Jet. The moment he sees her, he knows she will become a bigger distraction than he can afford. But when he finds out she's the niece of the man he's trying to partner up with, she becomes more than forbidden.
I really enjoyed the turns this book took. For it to have been a short novella, it had quite a bit of depth to it and I strongly recommend Wicked Billionaire for a quick fantasy escape.
