USA Today Bestselling Author, Lexy Timms, brings you a billionaire with a past he pretends didn't exist and a private life he doesn't want to share with anyone—except with the one girl from his past that doesn't remember him.
The Box set includes Bks #1-3
The SECRET of happiness is FREEDOM. The secret of freedom is COURAGE.
The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past as better than what is was and the present worse than it actually is.
Book 1
Billionaire CEO, SIMON DIESEL, owns one of the largest companies in the U.S. Little is known about him—he keeps his personal life out of the media despite their efforts to try to find out who the single, handsome billionaire is. He graduated out of Stanford with top honors, and while there invested in an online company that turned into a fortune. No one knows he was just a regular kid growing up and got into Stanford on a scholarship. He's determined to prove to himself that he can do it.
He never expected that the girl he lost his virginity to would show up in his office, looking for a job. He also never anticipated that she wouldn't remember him. Now he has to hire her, just to prove he's the same kid from high school—just a whole lot richer.
Book 2
SIMON DIESEL, self-made billionaire doesn't give up. That determination helped him make his money. It also pushed him to be the best, to win and to also except defeat.
If you never lose, how will you know you're best?
Except now the stakes are much higher than a few million dollars. Simon's willing to risk his heart over Heather—the one person who says she's not interested in him.
He's got to somehow convince the girl he lost his virginity to years ago, that he's the perfect guy for her.
Can he free his heart? Can the secrets they've kept be pushed aside. Will they find happiness?
Book 3
SIMON DIESEL, billionaire extraordinaire, is being played. Either by the woman he's hopelessly in love with, or by someone he trusts.
That narrows the list down significantly. There's only a handful of people Simon trusts, so it shouldn't be that hard to find the perpetrator. However, how much is he willing to risk for his company? For his heart?
Will falling in love with Heather a second time be second chance or payback for the heartbreak he caused her years ago?
"The harder thing to do and the right thing to do is usually the same thing."
Billionaire Secrets Series: The Secret Freedom Courage Trust Impulse
So many editing errors, but I almost didn't notice do to the fact that the characters are idiots. At first I though it was just the heroine. She is still a child who is annoying and does stupid things for dumb reasons. Then he comes in and asks permission for everything but she thinks he's all manly and it turns her on. Then they love each other, hate each other, love each other, don't trust each other..... but yet nearly every encounter ends with sex, not even good sex. I don't like not finishing books, so I read 1-3, but I will not be spending the exorbitant fee of $2.99 for 191 pages, when all I want to do is jump into the book and slap him and send her to jail so I never have to hear from her again. Spoiler: Who doesn't accept help from your rich friend to get a good lawyer to help you keep your kid, or clear your name. And seriously what idiot would think for a second that he wouldn't find out who hacked him for him and his business, how highly she thinks of herself to think it's just to help her. And the big reveal of who dunnit, was a joke. I HATE that I can't get the last 6 hours of my life back after wasting it on a book I kept hoping would get better.
Heather is a pain from beginning to end but I kept hoping for things to improve. Her lies, secrecy and manipulations switched between being bossy at work and a doormat for her ex-husband. This was a trilogy that could have been a novella.
I liked the premise of these books, and the twists and turns. However, I was getting annoyed with Simon and Heather - they just keep spinning and spinning in trust issues. Heather particularly annoyed me because she would instigate something with Simon and then push him away....make up your mind already. A little of that at the beginning where they are getting through the initial deceit makes sense, but to continue - is obnoxious.
I sort of want to know where they land, but at the same time, not going to take the time for more push and pull between these two.
I was so glad to finish this set. I was annoyed with both main characters. The steamy sex couldn't save this one. I don't know how many times these two said we need to talk and never did. It was exhausting to read about their relationship. Ugh. That said, I love Lexy Timms as an author. I just didn't like these books.
I really wanted to like this set but I don't care how sexy & rich someone is be they male or female grudge carrying is a stupid way to live even in fiction. And to write a series based on that premise is even dumber
Omg!!! I don’t know how I made it through this book with Heather and her needy, whiny, irritating self. So many times I wanted to yell “girl shut up” How Simon ever wanted to still wanted anything to do with her is beyond me🤦🏾♀️ He was a nitwit too
I breathed I sigh of exasperation reading this bookset, and then I sighed with relief when it ended.
Now I have read this author before and found her work on the "all right" scale to read her work again. But this book had me groaning at how two seeming adult characters can be so immature in their interpersonal reactions to one another (and others).
Yet one is a tech genius billionaire and one seems to be straight laced "on job" P.A.
Secrets and history revealed and P.A becomes a lust fogged scatter brain who can't do nothing but think about said Tech Billionaire and his amazing body and blue eyes (insert eye roll) ready to drop her panties and become a seductress.
Tech billionaire becomes a lust/sex fiend for his P.A, who is always ready with a condom (or knows where one is and is), ready to risk his beloved company for this woman, but on the other hand is fighting the board for his beloved company and over this woman!... Huh!!!
Lots of contractions that had me putting this book down to either chuckle or roll my eyes. And I figured out the "who done it" in book 2, which was confirmed my assumptions in book 3.
Also the "who done it", practically confesses and boasts to his crimes to all who is present, then says "unhand him and to arrest Heather" (P.A) when the police come to arrest him and that he has done nothing wrong!!! Okay, rich people delusions.
So tech million/billionaire sees nothing wrong in corporate espionage?!?... Okay cool
I don't know it I want to read the other 2 books of Simon "tech genius billionaire" and Heather "the P.A" story, as book 3 ended abruptly with a shock announcement. But am I curious to want to know how it ends? Is there a HEA for there two? Who knows?... Do I care?...
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This compilation of a series is only the beginning of a true romance between a boss and someone from his past. Simon is a tech genius who just happens to need a new assistant and he finds one in an old friend, Heather. What becomes evident is that Heather was more than a friend in high school she was his first. Heather doesn't help matters by lying to him on initial meeting on who she was so when things go wrong at the company she is the first to be blamed for the problems. We read about Simon and Heather getting it on then calling it off all because someone is trying to take down Simon's company. At the end of these three books we find the culprit but there is still so much more left to read about. I can't wait to read the last two books and get the rest of the story to its full conclusion.
Secrets- I got sick of Heather with her constant 'I want you... I don't want you.... come here..... go away' ENOUGH already!!!! Freedom- Not so much. Heather and Simon are still trying to have an adult relationship, but is there too much hurt and history? Courage - Heather and Simon did FINALLY show some courage and honesty. Working together for the results needed. Just an ok read for me. I couldn't get any type of feel for the characters. No worth reading the last two books in this series. I am still a fan of Lexy Timms because I have read other books I thoroughly enjoyed
I hate cliffhangers! Yet I thought I would be okay after I finished book 1 and found myself wondering will Simon and Heather find their happily ever after. I had the box set so I wouldn't have to be on pins and needles waiting for the next book release. I just finished book 3 and to my dismay, Simon and Heather's relationship is still not resolved! How much more can my poor heart take? Two more books before I find out if their relationship will last? I am not sure I can take anymore of the push and pull of their relationship! Yet I may just buy the next 2 books because I feel I have been left standing on a cliff!
I was so happy to find this read ... Free, I think? got to read it over a camping vacation .. 'cause we didn't have internet and was lucky to have my kindle ... 'cause reading a real hand held book is not easy when you have no light ...but kindles have light. genius! i am curious how they author picked the man on the front ... I kind of pictured the man differently ...but to each his/her own. I enjoyed this series ... look forward to reading more. enjoyable, quick read for me. I think Lexy is a new author to me ... gotta check to be sure ... loved her writing style. ( ;
Enjoyed this series with Simon and Heather. They knew each other since grade school. He built this company Dover into a billionaire conglomerate by himself. Did h and Heather finally get together?? Ended with a cliff hanger to be continued, bad move as far as I'm concerned.
Billionaire Secrets Boxed Set Books #1-3:Billionaire Con...
This was a wonderful book,I enjoyed reading about Simon and Heather,high school sweetheart who was reunited and tell back in love after ten despite the problems the will face.
This is a great read. It was intriguing, romantic and showed powerful love. I highly recommend it because you will want to read the last two books in the series.
This was an OK series. It killed my unscheduled 7 hour flight delay. The characters were made for each other. They had their personal baggage and they worked through it. Happy ending until you find out there's another book.
The first two books kept me on my toes, and I really enjoyed them. The third book took me FOREVER to read and it just didn't capture my attention like the others did.
I just read the first of the three books. It’s quick and light and about as shallow as can be. The sex is pretty vanilla, the FMC is annoying as is the billionaire. The writing wasn’t bad, but the story just wasn’t for me.
Sort of boring. The storyline was all over the place. The plot was just like all the others. The characters weren't very likable. Overall, 3-stars might be too many but it was still a quick, decent read if you are bored.
Really enjoyed reading this series so far. Couldn't wait to find out what was happening. Loved the ending so far. Highly recommend reading. Looking forward to reading more.
Not the best from Lexy Timms, but definitely readable. I gave it 3 stars due to errors and long winded storyline. There are 2 more books to follow but I can’t see myself reading those.
This is a really great book! Could not put it down. I thought this book has excellent story time. I would definitely recommend this book to all my girlfriends.Wow!!!
