Trapped with the Billionaire

Covington Billionaires #11

by Erin Swann

His eyes drew me in. I wanted to hold back. One touch of his lips and he won.

I noticed him while basking on the beach in Barbados. I met him on the plane back home. It seemed like fate. Reality slapped me in the face when I got into the office Monday. Our company had been bought, and now I worked for him: the man who wanted to dismantle all that my family had built. I wasn't letting Josh destroy three generations of work without a fight.

I'd seen her at a distance on vacation, met her on the plane back, and now she was seated across from me at the company we'd just purchased. Temptingly beautiful from a distance, had become intriguingly intelligent on first meeting, and now irritatingly feisty. I had an assignment to complete, and she was in the way. The contract said I couldn't fire her, at least not yet.

Competing visions for the company and mutual attraction collide in a volatile mix when Josh and Nicole are forced to work together. The discovery of a body on her property, and an old family secret, soon threaten more than the future of the business.

About the author

Why romance? Because we all need a chance to escape doing the next load of laundry.

We deserve a chance to enjoy love, laughs, and intrigue, and yes, fear, heartbreak, and tears, all without having to leave the house.

If you can read my books without feeling all of these then I haven’t done my job right.

Adored everything about Nicole and Josh , so perfectly matched .

In essence it had everything a good book needs.

Nicole Rossi and her best friend Sandy are on the last night of a week stay in Barbados where Niki has been baking her worries away and trying to get over her ex boyfriend. For six days Sandy has been pushing her to pick up the hot guy vacationing alone, constantly reading his iPad. Nik has tried to figure out the guy, not a student because the resort was expensive but also not an attorney because of the cheap plastic watch he wore. Sandy finally takes charge of the situation and orders the guy a drink from Niki. Game on!

Josh Benson planned on two weeks of time in the sun, catching up on his reading, phone unplugged. He’d planned on having desert tonight with the beauty on the beach, but summoned by his dad he now is headed back to Benson Corp to handle a new acquisition.

As fate would have it, through overbooked flights, laugh out loud scenes with a billionaire stuck in coach between a Cheeto eating grandma and a fart guy, somehow Josh and Nicole end up together on an ill-fated second leg of a flight to California and a billionaire falls hopelessly in love with the heiress of Benson Corporation’s newest acquisition.

So i got this from KU and it sounds quite intriguing and whilst the overall story arc is intriguing i cannot get over the writing... So i dnfed at 48%

I can only sympathise with Nicole so far, she's being irrational and annoying and Josh isn't much better.
Lara... I cannot decide whether she is a great character or not... She went down the rabbit hole after ber bf was killed - fair enough - but her attitude with Nicole is frustrating, she shows her no respect days after being bailed out of jail... Again.. She shows no remorse at all for any of her actions. She has no respect for Nicole despite allowinh her live on her home, bail her out jail, get her a job, and help her with everything... It all leads me to disliking her on principle.

The main thing is the sudden chanhe from adult language of 'breast' to 2 paragraphs later and they're using 'boob' from then on... Its weird and boob is a word a teenager uses not an adult... Unless they're drunk... I'm not a fan of this type of word use... It's like the writing in FSoG... Constantly using the word bottom... It's just wierd and i cannot get into it...

Josh and Nicole

Hmm..so overall the storyline is good and needed in the series. I do recommend these books be read in order.

Josh is the youngest Benson, is stuck working with the family business, and keeps getting the run around. He is out of town on a working vacation, when he spots Nicole. He is intrigued from the beginning.

Nicole works for her family business but soon finds out things are not as they appear. This was a tough one for me. Most of the books are so good but I don’t know what happened. For Nicole, she had no reason to keep away from Josh as he proved over and over and over again that he can be trusted. Her negativity was very annoying.

For Josh, he couldn’t catch a break. His family was treating him like crap, for no reason, and so was Nicole. This running back story of Debbie has gone no where throughout the whole series. There was so much stuff going on throughout the story and no explanations for anything..then when the bad person comes forward it was so anticlimactic.

[Barbara Hanson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nicole is on holiday and when she sees a sexy hunk, she starts to stalk him each day just for the pleasure of watching him rise out of the see. When she finally feels that she can approach him she has an accident that interrupts things.
Josh knew she was watching and keep it going he pretends not to notice. When he is called back home by his father, he misses his chance with the beautiful woman.
But fate has other ideas when they meet across the table at work. His company is buying her company that her grandfather started. What he plans to do with it goes against all it stands for and battle lines are drawn.
Whilst she tries to get him to understand her vision and he tries to find out where the money went, they are drawn together.
This was not your usual billionaire story, there is a plot to embezzle to uncover, a murderer on the loose and the unfolding love story which leads to a great book.

Josh & Nicole's Trials & Tribulations

This is quite the story! This is book #11 which can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading books 1-10 for this book to make more sense to the missing Debbie story-line. Other than that, this is a great lengthy novel. Josh may be a billionaire but he has the personality of a humble guy, where money has its place & he doesn't flaunt it. Nicole has so much bad luck on her plate. Josh, not only sweeps her off her feet but he's there to save her & ground her when she's in panic-mode. Pulled into the book right away & with so many twists along the way, trying to figure out the mystery is 1/2 the fun. I would highly recommend reading this novel as well as the first 10 books. Erin's an excellent storyteller. I really enjoy reading her stories & look forward in reading more of the Benson family, especially with Debbie's longtime disappearance.

The kind of story where our couple meets without knowing each other, then find out later they are going to have to work together under an often adversarial condition is one of my favorite themes.

In this case, Josh is really out in the middle of a family squabble and of course Nicole is so hurt and surprised by the turn of events she at first includes Josh as one of those to be blamed for the present circumstances.

Josh comes to realize Nicole’s worth and the existence of secrets that could have played a major part in the condition of Nicole’s family company.

If you enjoy a romance with a strong, independent woman and a guy that is not arrogant and recognizes her worth, beauty and falls for her for who she is, you will enjoy this book.

I loved every minute of this book that captivated be right from the start and I really didn't want it to end when I got to the last page with characters so real I feel like they're my friends and a beautifully written enemies to lovers romance. I have enjoyed all of the Covington Billionaires series but "Trapped with the Billionaire" has got to be my favorite with Josh Benson, the perfect Alpha boyfriend and his instant attraction and steamy romance with Nicole Rossi. Add in great supporting characters, a bit of suspense and mystery and you have the perfect book! I can't wait to read book twelve in this must-read series by talented author, Erin Swann.

Josh & Nicole met while both were on a vacation, and they ended up traveling home together through a series of events beyond their control. The sparks were flying, especially since their meetup was interrupted by him having to go home unexpectedly. Little did they know that they would be working together as he has acquired the company that was her family built so she works for him now, and she's none too happy about this. He wants to get rid of her but he's not allowed to at first. As they're forced to work together, they are volatile so the sparks are flying like crazy, but things get even more crazy when a body is found on her property & old secrets are revealed. At this point the twists are coming in hot while the chemistry is igniting to a blaze so this story was impossible to put down! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Going back
This was kind of like starting in the middle of a movie; you liked the ending, but didn’t fully grasp the significance of some events. I enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot, since no sooner did I think I had something figured out, bam something else happened, and I was completely “out to lunch”. I admit it was a lot of fun to basically spar with a book over what was going to happen, and it certainly kept me on my toes. This really was a wonderful read, and it will probably be even better when I reread it after reading the first part of the series. I’m certain the preceding books are just as wonderful, so I can wholeheartedly recommend this also!

Circle of trust required
It's a very good romance, at the same time tender, hot with manipulations. The two heroes are sympathetic, full of strength for their convictions and they want to achieve their goals while maintaining their morals, but those around them and who should support them, only manipulate them, slow them down or betray them. Only their confidence in each other, which was built during a vacation, but mainly when they randomly meet again during the return of their trip, makes them support each other because otherwise the two would have already lost everything (moreover if you added to that some threats and murders).
In short, the story is exciting and full of twists and turns.

[Mary W. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very good love story. It is a very satisfying read. I especially like Josh. He knows what and who he wants and is there for her every step of the way even if Nicole doesn’t see that right away. The story held my interest throughout. I think the title is a little misleading as I did not really consider them tramped at any time. There was a pretty scary plane ride and a potential overnight plane delay but that was averted by Josh's actions. After that he intervenes to rescue his girl several other times.There was a teaser about Nicole’s cousin Debbie that may entice you into the next book in the series but not a cliffhanger

Josh and Nicole's twisted romance!
by sewsummore

Josh and Nicole first became aware of each other when they were both on holiday, the attraction was there from the start, but it was not until they shared a plane ride home that they were able to talk and appreciate each other. When her family business had money problems, it was Josh's family company that stepped in to purchase the company and saved the workers from redundancy. I found this book compelling reading with the romance between Josh and Nicole under pressure and the mystery surrounding the missing company money combined with several murders, and it was a story that teased the mind as well as the senses.

**Spoilers** This was the story of the youngest Benson son and Nicole Rossi. They have a mutual attraction on vacation and right as they are getting ready to meet for the first time, circumstances intervene. Only to end up meeting on a plane on the way back to reality. They both are involved in family businesses and understand the responsibility involved with this. Nikki, has to learn trust and Josh has to learn no secrets and to stand up to his father. This is a great story, that once I started I could not put down. I laughed, I was scared, I cried and most of all I loved this story!!

I loved it from beginning to end. I love this series and I am always ready for more on this saga. Strong men and the women they love and love to protect. I love how community issues are brought in, like Habitat for Humanity. The family values in this series are amazing and the way it should be. Family love and caring. Yes, I can go into detail on the story and ruin it for everyone, which I do not like doing. It is a good book and a page-turner, I am always ready for the next page and the next book. Erin Swann's books are great.

Trapped with the Billionaire is the 11th book in the series and it was an enjoyable read. If you are new to the series I recommend starting at the beginning...it will make a great quarantine series to read! If this is a new book it can be read alone, but some things will leave your brain with a question mark. This is Josh and Nicole's story and it was a great one. The story had enough twists and turns to keep the read engaged and enough romance to keep the quarantine doldrums at bay!! Enjoy!!!!

I was honoured to be given an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

I loved this book as it kept you hooked from start to finish.

Whilst in Barbados Nicole & Josh share a drink & have the promise of tiramisu in the air for 'another time'.

Back home Nicole's step uncle gets Josh's father to buy out Nicole's family business as it is going under but there are rules in place stating that Nicole has to work for Josh for 6 months. So many events come up trying to stop Nicole or Josh trying to better the company.

Will Nicole & Josh ever get their tiramisu?

My favourite Billionaire strike again with a brilliant addition to the series.

The thrilling events in this edition will keep you hooked as the suspense is captivating, with several suspects.

I love Josh’s dedication to go after what he wants, and nothing will stop him from getting Nicole apart from Nicole, that is if she is the right “Girl” for him.

Loved this page turner.

This was a long one, but there was so much going on, it needed to be. Believe me it was not boring, there was no lull. I loved the whole flight fiasco, Josh was amazing through all of it. If you've not read any other books in the series, it might be harder to follow with all the other characters and references. There's still a touch of the ongoing Debbie story too, if you have been reading the series.

Swept away!!

When Josh sees Nicole in the Bahamas on a beach he is taken, but until she sends a drink his way he doesn't respond. Josh thinks he lost his chance due to mishaps. Nicole doesn't trust easily but she trust Josh. Josh is the man who keeps her safe during the storm that hits her life and keeps her strong when things get rough. Will she choose Josh or will Nicole choose heartache? Read now to find out.

Excellent!

Josh finally has his romance with Nicole! Interesting start to this since they meet in Barbados while on vacation! Benson Corp buys her family's company while she is gone so the fireworks start immediately when Josh shows up as the new man in charge of Rossi stores! Murder, vandalism, threats all cause problems for the couple but they finally reach their HEA! Interesting, enjoyable series!
