I chose this rating because this was very hot and sizzling book. I really enjoyed this read. I was happy Sophia met the one man in the business she was in to change her life, Bryce. I believe they feel in love with each other at first site. Great read and lot of sex scene. Hot sex!! A lot of fantasies was fulfilled as well. I really enjoyed this book. Looking forward to reading the book about Sophia's sister Ciara. I recommend this book to all romance readers.

Somehow...

I had a rating on this story, but no written review. So I wanted to add this- Sofia and Max's story is so awesome. The series that follows this on is just as wonderful. Scarlett Avery is a fantastic writer, that leaves me craving more after each book. You will want to read them all!

Great series

This series had it all romance, suspense and lots of hotness. I loved hearing how their whole story unfolded. I'm excited now to read Ciara's story, it should be a hot read.

Una de esas novelas que "compras gratis" en Amazon cuando están de oferta sin saber muy bien que te vas a encontrar...
Quería leer una de esas historias con millonario incluido y tenia esta en mi Kindle, así que allá voy y la verdad es que no me ha entusiasmado... ha sido una sucesión de escenas de sexo,que acaban siendo repetitivas; de forma intercalada a estas escenas, se narra una historia con un argumento inicial que acaba desdibujado... La novela se hace larga, se meten muchas cosas con calzador y al final la verosimilitud acaba siendo escasa....
Para olvidar y empezar otra historia ya mismo

Holy wow! This book had everything. Love, Intrigue, Hot Sex Scenes, Suspense and lots of Excitement...I have read several, Scarlett Avery books before, and this will not be the last. In fact, I will be continuing with this series, with Sofia's baby sister, Ciara's story.

Sofia, lost everything when she decided to follow her dreams of becoming a real estate agent, and picked up a business partner that was less than honest.
Due to her trusting, she used her own money to do the purchasing of properties, with the partner promising an outcome of major proportions coming back to her in the monetary way. She was duped, big time.

She had creditors banging down her door, she was broke...she needed money, she was to proud to accept help from her family, so she did what she had to do, to keep her head above water...she became an escort for hire. Her first gig, was as a translator, to help her client win over a crowd of potential clients of his own. Little did she know, that she would be meeting Bryce Van Der Linden, CEO of Linden Corp. A sexy as all heck, billionaire. It was as if it was Love At First Sight.

Bryce, already having been married 3 times, not looking for love, just companionship and also needing someone who can speak multiple languages, to help him out at a gala he is attending to gain perspective clients for his company, seeks an escort to fill this position. Little did he know, that Amanda aka Sofia, would be like a tornado coming in full force into his life. Yes, she helped with translating all the conversations, but she also helped herself to his soul...deep into his soul.

This was truly a Pretty Woman kind of story. One where the billionaire needs help. The escort needs help. They come together to help each other in so many different ways.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is the first book in the Billionaire Factor series, and it won't be the last one I read. I give this book 5 stars (more if I could) and recommend it to others to read and enjoy. As with myself, you won't be disappointed. High praises to the author.

Well then.

I liked this series. Bryce is a little too good to be true. Sofia is stronger than she thinks and Bryce helps her find her inner lioness. Ciara is a very cool little sister. The story moved smoothly and quickly. The sex was hot. My only problem was the over use of the words pounding/pound/pounded. That was my only cringe worthy event.

Another Pretty Woman, you don't want to miss

Holy Wow!
This book had everything you would need. Love. Intrigue. Hot Sex Scenes. Suspense. And lots of Excitement.
I have read several Scarlett Avery books before, and this will not be my last. In fact, I will be continuing this series with Sofia's baby sister Ciara's story.

She was broke. She then had creditors banging down her door...needing money, and too proud to ask her family for help, she did what she had to do. To keep her head above water...she became an escort for hire. Her first gig, was translating to help her client, win over a crowd of potential clients of his own. Little did she know, she was meeting Bryce Van Der Linden, CEO of Linden Corp. A sexy as all heck billionaire. It was as if it was Love At First Sight, for her.

Bryce, having already been married 3 times, not looking for anything more than companionship and someone who can speak multiple languages, to help him out at a gala he was attending, to gain perspective clients for his company.
Little did he know that Amanda aka Sofia, would be like a tornado, coming in full force into his life. Yes, she helped him with translating, but she also helped herself to his heart and soul.

Girl has been scammed and lost her money so with the suggestion of a friend she goes into the escort business. Only her first one becomes her soul mate. I do think this could of been better if there was a bit of drama. Give me a reason to worry or be concerned. It was always safety and fine. Lots of smut, too much for me because it was just WAY to often but if that is what you like, then you'll love this series. :)

** I don't recall the actual date on when I started reading since the kindle reader does not track this unless you actually mark it as "reading" on this site. Sadly I forget about this option so I don't do it all the time.

5 stars are not enough!!!

This was my first read from this author, so I didn't know what to expect. Once I started reading this beautifully written series, I couldn't put it down. All my emotions were on overdrive and I was hoping they would get their happily ever after. Well, I was not disappointed and you won't be either. I recommend you start reading it immediately, you will love reading this series. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Escort falls in love

BRYCE hires a luxury escort. He becomes her first job - a job she takes only because she is in dire need of money and this seemed to be the fastest way to get it. Bring on the steam, because at this point, the book gets hot and doesn’t let up.

The various trials Sofia and Bryce weather make for a great story. The “no holds barred” nature of their passion for one another elevate this to a memorable read.

Holy Smoking Hotness Batman!!!! This is the first book by Scarlett Avery that I have read but it will not be my last. I don't normally read blurbs about books but I did this one and I was so intrigued. Sofia(Amanda) and Bryce were both so interesting to me through out this book and the thing that happened. It did have a bit of a Pretty Woman vibe that I didn't mind at all as it is one of my favourite movies ever. I enjoyed the author's writing and the book was oh so steamy. Looking forward to reading more books in this series and by this author in the future.

I don't even know where to start! This is the first book series I've read by this author! SCARLETT AVERY is Undeniably Gifted!

Bryce Van Der Linden is the white knight to Sofia's financial blunder. After losing her real estate empire at the hands of a man who conned her, Sofia Herrera is forced to make money quickly to get bills paid and debts settled. Trying to save her name from the instant mud hole that her former business partner created and split town Sofia turns to her friend and former employee for help. While her friend introduces her to a new way to make some quick money, Sofia meets the wealthy Bryce Van Der Linden. The Billionaire Extraordinaire meets Sofia and instantly feels a connection and can't seem to stay away. We follow Bryce and Sofia through a four part serial that has hair pulling cliffhangers at the end of each installment, but since they are all together in one bundle you can quickly turn the page to see what happens next.

By far the best debut story hands down! Scarlett has a strong woman, a sexy as sin Alpha and lots of sexy interludes! Five Stars!!

Are these books all written by the same person?

What is it with these books? Can you people NOT afford an editor? The same misspellings. The same grammatical errors, wrong tenses, incorrect words again and again. For example: weary instead of wary; your instead of you’re; I instead of me. I could go on literally for an hour. Why? Explain it to me. How does this keep happening? Some of the incorrect phrases and dialogue are identical from book to book. Even the plot points are identical in some cases. Pushy, rude, arrogant men saying unbelievably disrespectful and disgusting things to women who, oh my goodness! discover how exciting it is to have a virtual stranger sodomize them! Oh how they love being hit or spanked. One error, fine. But when it’s in the dozens? Inexcusable! As my Grandmother used to say:”If a man tries hitting me, he’ll draw back a nub.” Stop normalizing abuse! A bit of dominance, fine. But this amount of control is sick.

This book combines all 4 novels of her first series. Scarlett Avery pull's you right in so you are in the plot. I'd suggest you read all of her work! I'll give you a little taste because I don't want to ruin the stories.
Sofia gets back stabbed in her real estate business and changes her looks and name as her friend helps her with her new life. Her first client is Bryce Van Der Linden (he's hot and sexy).
In the second one they travel to Paris where she helps him seal very important deals during the day and spends her nights with him.
In the third Bryce gets her to open up about her true identity and helps her regain her lost business.
In the fourth with the help of Ciara and Bryce she has her dream wedding as a princess should!
These books are so involving that I think you should read them. Scarlett Avery is wonderful and makes you want to read her books.

Scarlett Avery should have to buy a license in order to release her books, they are that hot and cannot be handled without protection. :-)

Shame on me. I read this series a while ago but failed to write reviews. I DID do them over on Amazon, but that only counts if Amazon is the only place I go to find a good book, and it isn't.

Since all four books were outstanding, and I will review each one individually, I'll shorten this review down to one word. HOT. Or maybe two words. SEDUCTIVE. Or maybe three words. LOVELY. This is a story that flowed well through the books, contained a few twists and turns that just weren't expected, but in the end it is a wonderful sexy love story about Bryce and Sofie finding each other, despite all of the outside influences.

She's lost everything: her business, her money, her reputation, her dignity. Never in her wildest dreams did Sofia Herrera think she'd be reduced to becoming a paid escort but she has bills to pay and needs to keep a roof over her head. Enter Bryce Van Der Linden, billionaire mogul. He needs an intelligent woman on his arm to attend a gala with him. One who can speak several languages. Sofia fits the bill perfectly and in addition, she's stunning. Although theirs is supposed to be a strictly business (with benefits) relationship both parties develop feelings. Ultimately, business is cast aside in favor of personal. Bryce is instrumental in restoring Sofia's business and reputation.

I love the love story series of Bryce and Sofia Aka Amanda. I like how smart and independent Sofia is and how she fight and solved her problems and her insecurities. I also like Bryce he is not a typical arrogant man that I usually read about, yes he has issues too specially from his previous marriage and his relationship with his older brother but he did not make it as issue or hindrance to have his HEA with Sofia. Its one hot short love story with little humor that leaves you wanting for some more!

Great story - so compelling I had trouble putting it down. This was the first time reading this author and I’ve already ordered the continuation box set. Great interplay between the characters. Sofia & Bryce are one hot couple who truly enjoy hot sex. Thank you Scarlett, I especially loved the disclaimer. 💋💋
