The Scandals Collection: The Billionaire’s Pet, The Billionaire’s Promise, & The Rebel Billionaire

Rate this book
Over 1,000 pages of action-packed billionaire romance! Together in one volume, the first three books in the Amazon Bestselling Scandals of the Bad Boy Billionaires Series: The Billionaire's Pet, The Billionaire's Promise, & The Rebel Billionaire. If you've been waiting to read about the notorious Winters family, this collection is for you!
The Billionaire's Pet
Abigail
I was in big trouble. The biggest. Running out of time, I turned to him. Jacob Winters promised he'd solve all my problems. All I had to do was become his pet. With some men, that kind of deal might have been a nightmare. Jacob Winters was a dream come true.
I was raised to be a lady, not a man's plaything. But with Jacob, I almost had it all; pleasure like I'd never known and protection from the danger stalking me. Was it greedy to want more? I had his body, but I wanted his heart.

Jacob
I'd wanted Abigail for years, I won't deny it. But I don't pursue married women, and her husband was a disaster waiting to happen. Everything about Abigail warned me to steer clear, including the lady herself. Some women might cheat, but not her. Abigail was too noble for her own good. Beautiful and untouchable. Then her husband was murdered and every dark shadow he'd held back came after Abigail at once.
She was on the run, and I was the only man who could save her. Abigail was mine. I didn't want a girlfriend. I definitely didn't need a wife. I just wanted her. In my home. In my bed. I was going to own every inch of her elegantly curved body. I'd keep her for as long as I wanted her, and then we'd both walk away. What could possibly go wrong?

The Billionaire's Promise
For two years I held Vance Winters off… Right up until the day my fiancé dumped me for his mistress and Vance kissed me senseless.
Vance Winters was six feet of dangerously beautiful mayhem. Wicked blue eyes, tousled blond hair, and golden skin covered in tattoos. Trouble. I should have taken one look and run in the other direction. I should have told him to take his job offer and shove it up his tight, perfect ass.
I won’t lie. One touch of Vance’s mouth to mine was better than all four years with my ex. I was tempted. Tempted, but not stupid. How many women had I escorted from his bed in the two years I’d worked for him? Vance didn’t do commitment and I’d been tossed aside one time too many. There was no way I was going to throw my broken heart at his feet, even if I suspected the sex might be worth it.
Then she showed up. Rosalie. Only three months old, and she changed both of our lives in an instant. I could resist Vance when he was just my billionaire playboy boss. But could I keep my heart safe as I watched him fall in love with his daughter?

The Rebel Billionaire
We said we could do casual. We swore we wouldn’t fall in love. We lied.
Charlie
I didn’t buy my house just so I could stare at the guy next door. I swear.
It’s not my fault he mows the lawn with his shirt off. His tattooed muscles are an eye magnet.
I can’t look away.
The first kiss is an accident. One taste and I have to have more.
We were supposed to keep it casual.
When a client comes after me for turning him into the FBI, Lucas swears he’ll keep me safe.
I’m not supposed to fall in love with him.
I’m walking straight into broken heart and I can’t stop myself.

Lucas
My new neighbor is a nightmare. Or a wet dream.
Charlotte Winters, the crown princess of the Winters clan.
It shouldn’t be hard to keep my distance.

The Billionaire's Pet

I really liked this story of a confused man that wants something from a particular woman but he doesn't know exactly what he wants. It starts with sex but he has to figure out if he is going to keep his pet or change the rules.

Jacob is a man that has gotten every woman he ever wanted except for one and she's married. When her husband dies, Abigail has two needs money and protection. Jacob is in a position to offer both if he gets what he wants. Abigail already knew that it would involve sex since she got that vibe from Jacob while she was married but she doesn't know what else he wants. She has nothing to offer him except herself.

Abigail is trying to keep her beloved mother in the same nursing home that she has been in for a long time. The type of care they offer is just what her mother needs. Now that her husband, whose father is in the mob, has died she is venerable to her father-in-law that has a fate worse than death for her. She must become Jacob's toy to keep her mother in the care she needs and to get protection to save herself.

The Billionaire's Promise

I loved this story of a man that has fought his demons to come out of it a better man.

Vance was a boy when he came upon his dead parents, it causes him to become an alcoholic. He is a very talented artist that has a thriving career if he could just get his personal life together. He fights the alcoholism with his Business Manager by his side. Magnolia has been by Vance's side through all of his problems. His addition to women then alcohol. She has tried to help him but even she has her limits.

Magnolia has her own problems. She has been with a loser a number of years and he dumps her. She is lost. But her grandmother gave her a house and grounds along with funds when she died. Magnolia is in a position to decide just how much she will help her best friend Vance when he has a child show up in his life. She has already been used once and she can't let that happen again.

The Rebel

I didn't like the way this book started but I loved the way it ended.

Charlie is a woman who has given her all and her career to help her brother Aiden. He stabs her in the back by firing her and blackballing her in her home town. He says it's because he knows she's unhappy and he wants her to find herself again and be happy. That's easy for him to say. She's now unemployable.

Charlie has been looking at a house that she could move into and leave the home she has shared with Aiden her whole life. It doesn't hurt that the man that mows the lawn next door has somewhat fascinated her since the first time she saw him. The house itself is a dump that needs to be completely redone but Charlie has the money to fix the house and live comfortably. She decides that after Aiden threw her out of the company that she would move to her house that he doesn't know about.

The first night the man that she has been fascinated from next door comes over to talk with her. Lucas is a man that Charlie gets to figure out. When an old client comes after Charlie. Lucas swears to keep her safe no matter what so Charlie agrees knowing she's walking into heartbreak but she can't stop herself.

What a great way to read three fantastic full length books by Ivy Layne. I originally purchased them individually, waiting for months for the next book to be published so this is a fantastic deal. Each are standalone stories of the Winters cousins but run consecutively so you meet the other characters before their stories unfold. There is also a mystery involving the deaths of their parents and each book gives a few more clues along the way.

Book 1 is Jacob’s and Abigail’s story. It’s a riveting story of a man who appears to have everything and a woman from a similar background who has had everything torn away from her and is living in fear of her life. Jacob controls everything in his life, but he realises that in one important aspect he has relinquished control to be happy with the woman he loves. It has romance, suspense including some some nail biting moments and a very satisfying conclusion.

Book 2, Vance and Maggie’s story is about Vance, a talented artist who has to change his lifestyle to save himself and take responsibility for a baby. It’s not all plain sailing, there’s Maggie’s odious fiancé to contend with, a scheming art agent, but also some comedic moments. Maggie is amazing and I absolutely loved reading this story.

Book 3 is Charlotte (Charlie) and Lucas’s story. Charlie has been working at Winters Inc when the CEO, her brother Aiden, fires her because he she’s become all work and no life. She leaves the family home to live in and renovate a rundown house she recently bought. Her purchase has nothing to do with the shirtless hunk next door mowing his lawn, noooo. Lucas is the handsome neighbour with an interesting back story. There’s intrigue and lots of romance along the way as she renovates her dilapidated house. Another very satisfying conclusion.

Ivy Layne has an excellent writing style and each book is a page turner. These are three really good books which I have already reviewed in a lot more detail under their original separate titles if you want to check those out. However, why waste time, just download the set and get reading. You won’t regret it. The series doesn’t finish with the Rebel Billionaire, so there is more to look forward to when you finish this set. In order, they are: The Billionaire's Secret Kiss (novella), The Billionaire's Angel, Engaging the Billionaire, Compromising the Billionaire, The Counterfeit Billionaire.

Absolutely love this Series - Must Read !!

Throughout the series there is a story line about a missing brother, who killed the 2 sets of Winter’s parents and the mischievous aunt Amelia as well as a lot of family drama.
My favorite book is The Rebel Billionaire. I loved Charlie's attitude and while her brother's heart was in the right place his execution needs work. She buys a house to renovate and being alpha males Lucas and Aiden try to run her life. Charlie is a very strong woman, doesn't back down and makes both her brother and Lucas work to get back in her good graces. You have to love a girl that steals and drinks her brothers pride and joy, a very expensive and coveted bottle of whiskey for revenge and then reminds him of just how good that whiskey was.

In the Billionaires Pet, I did not like Jacob's conditions to help Abigail, even though he lusted after her for years. She was raised to be a lady and for him to try and dehumanize and degrade her by making her his "sex pet" made me like him the least of all the brothers. Jacob paid for her mother's treatment and provided Abigail with gifts and a safe place to stay (his place) in exchange for treating Abigail as a sex pet. He effectively turns her into his prostitute. One of my favorite scene's is where Evers Sinclair tells Jacob that taking advantage of a woman in a desperate situation is low. Jacob does redeem himself a bit when he cares for Abigail when sick and trying to protect her when Big John breaks into his place to get to her.
The Billionaire’s promise is a very sweet love story. After the near death of his girlfriend due to an overdose, bad boy Vance turns his life around and realizes he cares for his assistant Magnolia. When Magnolia gets dumped and Vance learns he has an adorable baby girl, he begs Magnolia for help and they move in together and ultimately become a family but not before Vance messes up and she kicks him out.

THEY DON'T DO RELATIONSHIPS, UNTIL. . . 💘🔥💘

Three wonderful stories with a central theme about very likeable characters who don't do relationships... until of course THE ONE comes along and the chemistry and connection just can't be denied.

THE BILLIONAIRE'S PET

Sizzling, erotic beginning that I thought was going to be more of a fantasy, but then it turned more like reality with a bit of mystery and a tender love story. 4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟 💘

THE BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE

A very good story about finally finding the right person, resulting in a well-deserved HEA for both characters. There's a little mystery carried over from Book 1 that has me wondering, and I'm looking forward to the next book. 4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟 💘

THE REBEL BILLIONAIRE

Neither wanted a relationship, but their attraction was a force neither could ignore in this slow burn to sizzle romance. Some mystery and suspense is a nice addition to the story. There's a lot of emotion in this one, especially with the angst near the end and the beautiful ending. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💘

Each book in this set can probably be read as a standalone, but these three connected books make for a good trilogy. There's a satisfying conclusion here, but this reader is not ready to say good bye to this family of characters so I'll be reading more in this series.

4.5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟+ 💘

CAPTIVATNG FIERY PASSIONATE ROMANCES -SUSPENSE & ACTION

THE SCANDALS COLLECTION is a whole lot more than Sizzling Passionate Romances. The fusion of reality and fantasy make this set a most impressive read with intriguing plots that draw readers into each story. Inside; irresistible protective heroes, sassy strong heroines, breathtaking vivid scene descriptions, horrific danger, gripping suspense, action, mystery, friendship, family love, emotional moments, and humor keep you hooked. Each read has an awesome happily ever after.

THRILLING fast-paced wonderfully written reads. I have never been disappointed when reading this author's stories; her characters come alive with engaging dialogue and the romances are always convincing. The backstories give insight to the characters. I do look forward to reading more of her work. Finding these stories all gratifying reads; {of my own volition without any stipulations, I reviewed advanced copies.} Without hesitation, I recommend this set.

The Scandals Collection: The Billionaire's Pet, The Billionaire's Promise, &The Rebel Billionaire...

The Winters Saga books 3, 4, 5. A new author for me and I'm a fan. Once you read one book about the Winters clan , you cannot resist the urge to read the others. A seriously great bundle and a super fanfreakingtastic read. There's a mystery that devastated this family not once but twice. Each member is messed up in someway but they seem to find a way to come together. High drama, troubling angst, love, hope and tingle worthy hotness. Speaking of hotness Lucas Jackson(book 5) will steal your heart.

There wasn't a dud in the Scandals Collection. Each book was as good or better than the previous book. The Winters family is engaging. The characters are so much fun and so full of layers it keeps you turning the page. The underlying mystery adds another layer of dimension to these compelling characters. Great stories.

In my Top Ten List

You pretty much can't go wrong with Ivy Layne! This three for one was one of my best investments. I've read these books multiple times and will probably read them several more times. These books have it all. Romance, humor, suspense, passion and intrigue. In fact this whole series rocks! If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and enjoy!

Winters of Atlanta

Each story was its own form of good. Hot men, tattoos, murderous secrets, and love all bring each character to life. The intermingled characters and their development is on point. Ivy Layne is an amazing storyteller.

I absolutely love this series so far can't wait to read the next book. I started out thinking that Jacob was a ass but he turned out to be ok. I'm glad that Vance got his act together and that Charlie finally got to be happy.

Yessss!

Someone to break the mold: Charlotte. Her and Lucas are a really good match for each other. She’s wealthy but likes to work and he’s rich but doesn’t flaunt his money. Him going to work for the Sinclair’s anchored his and Charlotte’s relationship. HEA.

I've read this, several times over.

And each time, I get just as lost in it as the first time.
Three stories, three members of the Winters family. Each unique to the person. Each mesmerizing, making you wonder what happens next.
Well worth a read, or three...
