Actor Josh "J.T." Williamson is the hottest actor on the silver screen, but he'd give it all up to get custody of his daughter, whose mother is using his playboy reputation against him. Courtney Belmont's uncle may be President of the United States, but she prefers to avoid the spotlight, continuing her work for her family's hotel chain. However, when she meets Josh on vacation in Hawaii, sparks fly, and when he suggests a fake marriage to rehab his reputation, even her aversion to publicity can't make her say not.
Courtney is the shy, straight-laced workaholic (who needs to loosen up), while Josh is the superstar whose (exaggerated) reputation means he needs to settle down. They're a match made in romantic cliche heaven. Courtney is a little quick to agree to his crazy plan, and to invite him to move in with her, but otherwise, it's a fun book and a quick, pleasant read.

Tempting the Billionaire is the 13th book in the Sherbrookes of Newport series by the author Christina Tetreault and is Courtney Belmont and Josh (JT) Williamson’s story. Courtney, part of the very well-known Sherbrooke family, and Josh a famous actor, meet while on holiday in Hawaii. A 2 week holiday romance follows, with both not really wanting their relationship to end then and there. However what happens not long after their return back to reality is where the story really starts!
Josh is a single dad to his daughter Adalynne, and when her mother files for sole custody, Josh knows he needs to redeem himself of his playboy reputation and this results in him asking Courtney to follow his plan of a fake marriage. Will the couple be able to stick to a platonic relationship, or will the attraction they felt while in Hawaii continue, sending their relationship to the next level?
I loved how these 2 characters are very different from one another, Courtney shies away from the spotlight, while Josh appears to thrive from it. However as we get to know them, we can see their real personas hidden away and the attraction and realness of their growing feelings for one another. I enjoyed seeing glimpses of others in the Sherbrooke family - Scott, Juliette, Trent and Addie, as well as Courtney’s parents and uncles and aunts, as I have been a fan of this series from the very first book! Tempting the Billionaire does not disappoint and I recommend all readers who enjoy contemporary romance and family dramas to one-click this wonderful book today!

Another Sherbrooke Love Story
I love reading Christina Tetreault series, especially "The Sherbrookes of Newport". This was another good one starring Courtney Belmont, the Sherbrookes' cousin and J. T. Williamson "Josh", a well known, handsome actor.
Courtney was a quiet, seemingly reserved Sherbrooke and Josh was a known womanizer, like Jake Sherbrooke was before he fell in love. As soon as Courtney saw Josh, her bad girl came out. They spent two weeks together in Hawaii. After arriving home, Courtney decided that nothing would come of that relationship even though she thought of Josh often.
Not long after arriving home, Courtney met with Josh and his brother, Evan, as well as Josh's publicist. They had a couple of deals for her. In addition to the 2 million dollars they were donating to her family's Foundation, they requested her to be Josh's fake fiancee to help him in an upcoming court custody battle.
Of course, she accepted his offer and they proceeded to live together and to deceive their families while making plans for a wedding to take place in three weeks. What happened? Was the custody battle resolved thus ending the need for a marriage? How did the families react to their new? His family was as different as her family - Did it affect their decisions? Did they fall in love? Did they reveal their love for each other?
The book answers every questions and reacquaints you with the Sherbrookes from other books. This is another sweet read with over the top sexual attractions.

Tempting the Billionaire is the thirteenth book in Christina Tetreault’s The Sherbrookes of Newport Book series. Being from the famous Sherbrooke family all Courtney Belmont wants is remain out of the spotlight as she vacations. While sitting poolside, she is taken aback when Josh (J.T.) Williamson chooses to sit beside her rather than with some other ‘hot’ women. They enjoy their vacation parting as friends.
When J. T.’s ex decides she wants full custody of his daughter, he knows he can’t let that happen. So, he decides to propose a marriage of convenience to the woman he met on vacation.
It was fun watching Courtney and J.T. fall in love. Will their marriage outlast the agreed upon plan? Will he regain custody of his daughter? Tempting the Billionaire is a fantastic read that I highly recommend. This is a standalone book but I highly suggest reading the rest of the books in the series. I received an advance copy which I chose to read and review. This is my honest opinion.

I love series romances because I don’t have to say goodbye to my favorite characters and I catch up with several of them in this book. Courtney and Josh were an opposites attract romance. She’s more serious minded working for the family foundation and he’s a playboy actor who only dated one woman seriously, his ex and mother of his child. They jump into bed almost immediately so I wasn’t thinking committed long term romance here, but plans change when his ex threats custody of his daughter and a marriage of convenience to a woman like Courtney would clear up his image and help his case. Like many romances they had a lot of communication issues and stress from both sides of their families budding into their relationship. I loved reading about Josh’s place in Maine and the places they visited while there.

I loved Tempting the Billionaire which is the thirteenth book in Christina Tetreault’s The Sherbrookes of Newport series. The book focuses on Courtney Belmont, the straight laced daughter of her family, and Josh Williamson (J.T.), a famous actor. He meets Courtney on a vacation in Hawaii and they spend two steamy weeks together. He contacts her several months later when he needs her help in order to keep custody of his daughter by becoming his fake wife. Will Courtney help Josh keep his daughter by marrying him? This is a wonderful romance and I highly recommend it.

Courtney and Josh are so different from each other but I think that they are perfect for each other but things don't always work out the way they should. They both have feelings for each other but neither will admit it to each other. Wow I really loved this book so much and it was a real page turner. I love Christina's books so much and I have read many of them and I definitely recommend you read this book and others by her and you will not be disappointed as they are so well written.

Sometimes temptation strikes when you least expect it.
Two weeks in paradise are all Courtney and Josh expected from each other, but once his ex is filing for sole custody of their daughter, he thinks a marriage of convenience may dissuade his playboy image and Courtney is the epitome of good.
I loved how well they complement each other, she shies away from the spotlight, he thrives on it.
The story did not disappoint and it was an amazing contemporary read.

Courtney and Josh meet on vacation and enjoy each other's company but part ways. She is a little shy while he enjoys the spotlight and is somewhat of a playboy so when his ex tries to get total custody of the daughter they share he needs to show he has changed his ways. Josh looks up Courtney and ask her to marry him in a marriage of convenience only. They actually love each other but are afraid to admit it to each other. Enjoyed this romance with a little dash of drama.

YES!!!!! Come through Courtney for the one time. Break out of that shell that everyone thought you were in. Standing your ground and following your heart. I fell in love with Josh from page one. He was not the image in which the tabloid made him out to be.
His heart was always in the right place and he was an action man. Words were just that but he expected honesty at all cost and gave it back in return. Christina did her thing with this book 13 and I can't wait until the model falls to love.

This was a fantastic addition to one of my favorite series!
I have long awaited Courtney's story, and it most definitely did not disappoint! It starts out with an amazing meet cute and the heat between Josh just explodes! I also loved all the cousins and siblings popping into this story. It was great catching up on my favorites from other books!
I could not put this book down! I cannot wait for the next book in this series!

This is the 2nd book I've read written by Christina Tetreault; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

I enjoyed this new "Sherbrookes of Newport" story. It's a good addition to the series. Courtney and Josh are perfect for each other. What starts of as a fling turns into fake and leads to so much more. I love these two. She is a member of the Sherbrooke family and he is a famous actor. They meet by the pool of a Hawaiian Village Resort. The attraction is instant. When he needs help keeping his daughter she agrees to help him.

Smart.
I like my books smart and this fits the bill.
And it starts off in Hawaii, always a plus. Courtney (she’s the big bucks) is on vacation in Hawaii and meets Josh. He’s the hottie and they engage in a vacation fling.
Fast forward a few, and Josh needs Courtney’s help. A fake marriage to keep custody of his kiddo.
Is it temporary or for reals?
4.5

Missed opportunities
I’ve read all the books in this series and while I enjoyed this one I felt there were many missed opportunities. Topics were mentioned for the story line with no follow up. It was just odd and left me with ‘what about this’ thoughts throughout the whole book. Not as well written as the others but an enjoyable fluff beach read.

I always enjoy catching up with the Sherbrooke’s and the Belmont’s. Christina makes it feel like you’re visiting family.
Courtney and Josh come together to help him get custody of is daughter. His bad boy reputation has her family questioning her decision but can he be reformed when the right girl comes along. Their journey is endearing and so much more than what they bargained for.

So Predicable and Sub standard
I usually love all the Sherbrooke stories but this one was so shallow, predictable and had a very abrupt HEA. I am rarely disappointed in Christina Tetreault but I wonder what went wrong. I hope this was an aberration and not a new norm.

again, abrupt ending.
Could this author PLEASE stop with the abrupt endings? This is driving me wild. I may like the story, but the ‘drop dead’ endings are killing all my enjoyment. Dislike this, it ruins the story for me.
