The Billionaire's Obsession #12
Billionaire Unloved: Jett
Ruby:
My name is Ruby Kent, and I'm homeless, a virgin, and terrified when I'm kidnapped by human traffickers and put up for sale on the auction block. I'm for sale to the highest bidder, and I have no idea what my future will be, but I know it's not going to be good.
I'm waiting for a chance to escape, and that opportunity finally comes after I'm bought and paid for.
Unfortunately, I have no idea that Jett Lawson has been sent to rescue me, not hurt me, and even after we're both injured during my desperate attempt to run away, he still wants to take care of me.
Problem is, I have no idea how to trust anyone, or let anybody help me. I've always been alone. It's safer that way.
Jett Lawson is a mystery to me, an enigma that just gets more complicated with every nice thing he does for me.
Is it possible for a woman like me to find happiness with a billionaire?
Probably not, but the more I get to know Jett, the harder is is to resist the lure of having a safe place to be, and a man like no other.
Jett is scarred just like me, but his wounds are all on the outside.
Mine are carved all over my soul.
Can two wounded people help each other heal, or will our profound differences tear us apart?

I know I contradict myself with how I don't want to read virgin books.
I've read almost all the books this author have written and as long she doesn't write cheating in her books then I'll probably continue reading them.
Anyway I liked it.
Hero was a good man. As the blurb states the heroine is a virgin.
There's no OW drama.

honest review😍 Omg. Ok so I have read lots of book and this is by far one of the best. I was up till almost 4 in the morning because I couldn't stop once I started. This story was intense and I loved every bit of it..
Jett is so humble and kind. He Is the type of man every girl dreams of.. He has scars that causes self esteem issues with his looks but he is also totally confident about what he does. Will Jett be able to deal with his self esteem issues or will it destroy what he can have..
Ruby is so full of love but she has a hard time trusting. She once had dreams but she gave up the Cinderella dream. Will her past get in her way.
Jett and Ruby are 2 of the same but in defferant ways. This book is a must read. I loved everything about it, even when I couldn't stop the tears. Author Js Scott is a amazing author and I'm so glad i pick up one of her book and we addicted from the first page. Thank u so much for a awesome getaway.. That's what it is to me to read this book a getaway from my own reality. U are a fabulous author. Can't wait to see what's next.

Billionaire Unloved was the twelfth book in the Billionaire’s Obsession series by JS Scott.
Jett Lawson and Ruby Kent were introduced in the previous book, Billionaire Unveiled. Jett was Dani’s brother that assisted Dani and Marcus in bringing down the sex trafficking ring that Dani unveiled. In the process, Jett rescued Ruby by being the highest bidder. Ruby was young and homeless when she was captured and had learned to trust no one. Although Jett rescued Ruby, it was a long process for Ruby to learn to trust him. I appreciated that Scott acknowledged the counseling and therapy needed in order to be able to function successfully in society again after such a horrific ordeal.
In addition to the expected relationship development, the storyline was purely a journey of healing, recovery and exploration. The drama and abuse occurred prior to the beginning of the book so the book itself was without drama. It’s more about the meeting of two troubled souls that have experienced a tremendous amount of loss and pain and are struggling to live with it’s impact.
Billionaire Unloved was not necessarily my favorite so far, but aside from a few editing errors, it was well written and well developed. I didn’t dislike Ruby but I didn’t fall in love with her right away either. However by the end, I admired her strength and the person she was becoming. As for Jett, I admired him immediately and appreciated his sexy alpha tendencies.
I enjoyed that Scott took the time within the storyline to re-introduce the Lawson siblings. We’ve already experienced Dani and Harper’s forever love stories (books ten and eleven) and there are now only two left, Mason and Carter. Carter is up next in Billionaire Unchallenged.

"Billionaire Unloved" is the twelfth book in The Billionaire's Obsession series. This is the story of Jett and Ruby, both are damaged physically and mentally, but for very different reasons. Jett is a billionaire, who gives back by helping others, but when he needed help the most, the one person that should have been there for him wasn't. That person not only hurt Jett, but cost him his self-esteem, and at that time in his life he made a promise to himself, one that he will live by. Ruby is the total opposite from Jett, her scars didn't come from helping others, but they were still not her fault. She doesn't have much, she doesn't trust anyone, but with Jett's help she becomes a modern day Cinderella. Ruby has been through so much in her life, she had dreams that have been dashed, but Jett is kind, patient, generous, and loving. Is it possible that these two people can help each other find a way to trust and live again?
I highly recommend this book, J.S. Scott once again deals with real life issues, things that go on everyday that people don't always think about. This book mad me cry, laugh, swoon, and feel, I even wanted to strangle a couple of people along the way. No matter what, you will fall in love with Jett and Ruby!!

Wow! Overall, the book for Ruby and Jett is fantastic! Jett's ex-fiancee is a shallow and complete bitch. But Jett and Ruby are perfect for each other, even though they come from COMPLETELY different backgrounds. Ruby was young, homeless and trusted the wrong people. Jett rescues Ruby from what could have truly been a horrific fate. The tentative friendship blossoms and grows, changes into more.
Carter, Jett's older brother, is a first class jerk. His other brother, Mason, is a workaholic. His sisters are wonderful.

Wow‼️‼️ My heart bled for Jett and Ruby story. It was full of love, compassion, heartbreak, passion, healing and love. J.S. Scott writes another fantastic book with a billionaire who is so humble and giving that you can’t help but love him.
Jett was injured while saving lives in the Middle East, he was broken physically and emotionally. His sister Dani asked him to help rescue Ruby, a victim of human trafficking, but what he didn’t expect was a physical attraction to her.
Ruby has been on the streets from the age of 18 and her trust in people is broken. I loved her survival spirit and her determination to make something of herself.
J.S. Scott took me on a journey of reading about these two strong characters learning to love again and trust each other. Both Jett and Ruby are scarred from the past and must learn to heal from these wounds.
A tearjerker for me as this book is full of emotions, but I loved the HEA.

How could you not like a book that deals with relevant situations that affect people in today's society..
I LOVED IT..
Ms Scott has the ability to bring heart breaking situations to light with a real human aspect to them and make us feel like your part of the story..
Yes there is a rich hot guy, yes this one has a heart of gold, but he's broken and truly can't see his own worth.. Jett, wow to be worshiped by someone like him makes you crave,,,
Then there is the real factor of living on the streets and how people survive, our beautiful heroine is captured and sold by human traffickers ,, scum of the earth.. Ruby having had early trauma, through no fault of her own finds herself in despair and on the run, she falls into the hands of people she thought she could trust.
The emotive factor of this book touches deep. I highly recommend this book and the author..
The characters gelled well, it was well written and relevant..
This is my own thoughts and my own review, I've not been influenced in any way.

Author J.S Scott is phenomenal writer !! She grabs and takes real life topics of pain and suffering , addresses them in a tender and sensitive way.
And with this read Ruby and Jett needed that fondant from each other . Ruby , totally destroyed by the many horrible things that life drafted for her . And afraid to love because she believes with love there is only lost .
And Jett and unloved and hurt billionaire that is searching for acceptance and peace. Now they are about to embark on this fantastic journey of healing each other, physically helping , embracing each other and also finding love and actualization with each other . I love their story .
At the moment I'm remembering the the tender, patient pace that came out of the story. The passion they both felt from a distance, that made all the scenes just right.
P.S Mrs Scott have me eager for Zeke and lia now :)

Billionaire unloved follows the romance between two broken souls Jett Lawson and Ruby Kent when Jett buys Ruby as a virgin from a an underground auction. To be honest I keep up with this series out of habit because they are very old style Mills & Boone. They are a very sweet romance if you relax on a rainy day with something light to read.
February 27, 2018
Billionaire Unloved is another great story by J. S. Scott. I have read this series and Jett's story doesn't disappoint. In fact it it one if my favorites.
Ruby is a young homeless girl that was kidnapped by human traffickers and was set to be sold at auction to the highest bidder. She fell on hard times and got hooked up with the wrong people and found herself in this horrible situation.
Jett Lawson, brother to Dani, who once met Ruby is heading to the auction to bid on a Ruby to save her but she only knows Dani is going to help her but not how. So when Jett is the winning bidder she starts to plan her escape as he is paying for her.
Jett has a bad leg and Ruby notices that and thinks that will be her chance to make her get away. Both Jett and Ruby end up injured when her escape fails.
As time progresses they find out they are very similar and have some of the same obstacles and trust issues. Jett wants to help Ruby live and give her the world and Ruby still is unsure if she can trust him. This was very hard to put down. I read in a day and loved it. Kudos J. S. Scott!

Jett and Ruby two people who’ve been through so much pain and turmoil it breaks your heart.
Jett has been wounded physically and mentally after being hurt in the Middle East, his family is loving and supportive but don’t understand what he’s been through. When his sister asked him to help find her friend Ruby he can’t say no.
Ruby, god my heart broke for her, she’s been through so much suffering and painful past. Jett finds her and together they try to repair each other and put each other back together.
A beautiful, emotional story ❤️

Ruby and Jett’s story was beautifully written. Two broken souls in need of forgiveness, trust and love. Their heartfelt journey together makes for a page turner that you cannot stop reading.

Count on J.S. Scott to take readers out of their comfort zone. Billionaire Unloved delivers chills, thrills and heals. Ruby is a fighter. Her courage brings her through the danger that follows her, the despair that lives within her and the hope that saves her. At the worst of times, she finds a dark angel to bring her home. Jett is no white knight. More like a tainted soul. He may be her savior, but can she be his redemption? Even in the darkest moments, Ms. Scott knows how to inspire. Her stories find hope in hopelessness. I had too many feelings to count, so I'll sum it up in one word. Breathless.
February 18, 2018
I just love how J.S. Scott writes her billionaire series and how she keeps her characters grounded even being rich. The story of Jett and Ruby was heartfelt and showed true love from the beginning. Jan stays true to real life events in all of her books.
February 27, 2018
I could not put this book down! I love Ms. Scott’s billionaire series of books but this one really touched me. I’m having trouble putting it into words. I’m just all melty inside right now.

Loved this book, I couldn't put it down, I laughed and cried in this book. I really enjoyed this story.

Iam a huge fan of J.SScott books, they are always amazing! so when I got the chance to read Billionaire Unloved I was so excited I dived into this book as soon as I could and I was hooked almost immediately omg this book was fantasic . We follow Jett and Ruby and I just loved these two together. They have been through so much in there lives .When we hear Ruby story , about her hardships its hard to not want to shed a tear, she is such a strong person and with Jett it was just awe inspiring to see the many ways he always puts other before him self even after what happened to him he still continue to do so . The romance between them was excellent but again this is a J.S.Scott book we are talking about so of course the romance is excellent, she always writes the type of romance that I dream about . However besides the swoonworthy sexy romance there was so much more to this story that will have you glued to every world your read and when I reached the end as always I was desparately anticipated the next book , I have so many favourate moments in this book ! I loved the romance , I loved that J.S.Scott always seems to add current issues into her book and Iam just amazed at how fast I blew through this book!!! It was fantastic.

No es una de las mejores novelas que he leído de Scott; se podría haber sacado más jugo.
El final muy abrupto, aunque lo compensa con el perfil de los personajes que, para mi gusto, me ha encantado. Scott siempre sabe perfilar unos personajes maravillosos, y eso la engrandece.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we find out what really happened to Jet after that final mission that drove him into semi-isolation. We also find out what kind of man he is and what he really wants in his life. So when his sister asks him for help though they haven't been close for years he jumps at the chance. Little did he know one little favor could possibly change him forever. Will he be able to let go of the past and take a chance on a new future or will he hide from what could be the best thing in his life?
Ruby has bounced from one bad thing to another since her parents died. The latest is being sold at a slave auction because she is still a virgin. When her eyes connect with Jett she thinks for just a moment she has found a savior but then remembers those don't come to her. Can she find a way to open up to Jett and let him help her as much as she could help him or will the woman who has been on the run continue to run from something special?
This is another amazing book by this author. She will take you down a road with these characters that won't always be pretty but will emotionally grab you and not let go. These characters have some ups and downs that they have to decide what is important to hold onto and what should be let go. I really want to tell you so much more about this story but don't want to ruin it for any other reader. I will say I would highly recommend this book as well as any of the others in this series to anyone and everyone.

Dnf at 30%
The writing is amateur. No character is developed at all. The FMC was kidnapped and sold into sex slavery (luckily she was bought by the guy sent to save her). Absolutely no detail on what exactly happened to get where age was at... hey life sucked before that too, she was homeless for like 5 years, and her uncle used to abuse her. Her getting kidnapped and sold is pretty much ignored after she's saved (before the 10% mark, mind you), and as far as I know (since I DNFd, it's never brought up again. No trauma from it (she does have trauma and goes to therapy at the MMC insistence due to her uncles abuse), but getting kidnapped and sold into sex slavery? I guess no big deal for her. It's like the author forgot that happened to her!
There is no chemistry what so ever between the leads. They had their first kiss when I stopped, and I rolled my eyes when it happened. It came out of no where, and it doesn't make any sense. This is, supposedly, instant lust/ love (I guess... not sure because the lack of chemistry is intense), and it's just... bad. I'm bored, I don't believe any of the characters, and I'm wondering if all the good reviews for this are bots.

Ok I never want this series to end!!! In this book you have the handsome but broken Jett Lawson and the beautiful but also broken Ruby Kent. When Jett goes inside to rescue Ruby from a human trafficking scheme, Jett immediately is drawn to the beauty and strength of Ruby!! Jett takes Ruby under his wing to protect her and she is reluctant but very drawn to him also. Ruby can see Jett has emotional and physical scars on him and inside him so which she can relate to because she has the same broken spirit. Between the two of them they learn how to trust each other and in turn heal each other!! This is a beautiful love story that you have to read!! Totally a stand alone book but you can appreciate it more if you read the whole series!! Can't wait for the next book in this series!! Time for the other Lawson brothers to get their HEA!!

Ruby has had a tough life losing her parents young and being abused by the man who was suppose to care for her. After running away her luck didn’t get much better living on the streets and picked up to be sold to the highest bidder.
Jett promised to help the woman his sister made a promise to get out of harms way. Little did he know with one look he would see his future and worry that he would never be able to reach it.
Jett and Ruby both had their own Demons to face and with through but one thing is clear these two are meant to be from the moment they meet. Watching them figure their way, face their fears and take back their life is gratifying and seeing them become who they are meant to be both as individuals and separate. For Jett it’s getting over the fear of what people see outside for Ruby it’s much deeper but they learn to do it together.
Another great book in this series I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Loved Jett and Ruby's story! My heart broke for what both of them went through, but I loved watching them heal together. I'm hoping that not only do we get Jett's brother's books, but we get the one that was hinted at towards the end of this book (don't want to spoil it for those who have not read this book). There was a lot for both Ruby and Jett to overcome, and Jett's brother didn't help matters at first, but he eventually endeared himself to me. This story was one I had a hard time putting down and one I will definitely be reading over and over.

I'm not sure my heart can take anymore! Jett and Rubys story pulls so many emotional strings, I now feel lost because I've finished it! Two broken people, very different people, very different worlds, find each other and find more than they ever realised. The Lawsons didn't do too well as a family when they lost their parents, the boys Mason, Carter and Jett dealt with things by throwing themselves into their fathers fledgling company. A chance meeting Jetts sister 'met' Ruby, asked Jett to help, and the rest is a journey that is a mega page turner of the best type. I laughed, I gasped, I cried, my heart broke for them both together and as individuals. Read it - five stars isn't high enough!

I absolutely love this book! Ruby has a horrible past but Jett will do anything to protect her. I felt so many different emotions while reading this book I cried I laughed and even swooned. Jett is such a alpha sexy male with scars of his own. Ruby is such a amazing strong woman that you understand her feelings throughout the book. If you love romance you will definitely love this book! 5/5 stars *** I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Copy of this book ***

I received an ARC of this book for an honest review. I absolutely loved the story of Jett and Ruby! So emotional and heartwarming... As much as you know it’s just a story, where there are the facets of fairytales such as Cinderella in the mix, it is the deeper meaning that really makes you think. Human trafficking does exist... There are people out there that are scarred for reasons beyond their control who feel as Jett did, that no one will ever want them again because of those scars. As the saying goes, beauty is only skin deep...
I can only hope that there are more people in the world that are willing to look
at someone for what is within them and not what is on the outside.

I received an advanced copy of this book and this is my honest review.
Author J S Scott never disappoints in her work. She has taken 2 people that were both suffering and brought them both together in a meaningful and tender way. From sex trafficking to physical and emotional abuse to scars so deep on the outside that they were so much deeper on the inside. This story was easy to read because of how well it was written. Along with all other books in this series, this is no disappointment. I would highly recommend this book to any reader even if you haven't read any of the other books.

Loved, loved, loved! I have really enjoyed all the books in this series and I think this is one of my favorites. It's a wonderful story of healing, loving, and accepting each other just as they are. Both of the main characters are scarred in their own way and together they find a way to heal.
After a terrible accident that left Jett scarred and injured as well as his fiancee showing her true colors, Jett finds himself withdrawn, alone, and lonely. Then he meets Ruby. She's a woman who has lived a hard life so far but deserves only the best life has to offer. It doesn't take long for Jett to realize he loves Ruby and wants to be the one to give her everything. Is it possible she could love him too? Will she let him love her?
A fantastic read and a book I highly recommend.
