Christmas with the Denton Billionaires: The Complete Series
The Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée
All his life, billionaire hotelier Josh Denton loved only one woman—his mother, who died a few years back. So when the Cedar Grove Resort and Spa, a place where he’d spent the last Christmas with her, comes on the market, he allows a bit of sentimentality into his heart and sets out to purchase it. Sure, the place is a bit shabby, but he wants it. Problem is, the current owner is a family man, who won’t take kindly to his hotel being sold to a slick, single New York billionaire. When Amelia MacTaggart, his efficient and effervescent assistant, who just so happens to come from Cedar Grove, walks into his office, a plan starts forming. Amelia can act the part of his fake fiancée over the Christmas weekend at the hotel, and in return, she’ll get that promotion she’s been angling for. Seems like a win-win. And it is, until the ‘fake’ relationship between them starts getting a little too real, too fast. What’s a hot hotelier to do?
The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby
The Denton Hotels Christmas gala has always been a big deal, but this Christmas must be the most extravagant ever. Billionaire Mitch Denton’s CEO father is set to make a major announcement at this year’s gala, and Mitch hopes it’s what he’s been waiting for: his promotion to head of the company. Mitch is more than a little surprised when Jules Cardwell, assistant to the now-AWOL event planner, walks into his office, ready to oversee the gala’s planning. With so much on the line, he doesn’t need the distraction of a beautiful woman like her. When they find a real baby in the manger just as a major snowstorm rolls in, the two have little choice but to rely on each other. In Mitch’s luxury penthouse.
The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas
Billionaire celebrity chef Christopher Denton is back in his hometown, hoping to win a local baking contest and gain some much-needed publicity before launching his new show. The only possible glitch in the plan is knowing Mara Lancaster, the girl who broke his heart back in high school, is his competition. Though his pulse is racing in that old familiar way, he plays it cool, not wanting Mara to know how much seeing her has affected him. Maybe if he acts like he doesn’t care, his traitorous heart will listen. But as the competition heats up, so do his thoughts about her. Mara’s even more gorgeous now and he’s finding it difficult to keep his eyes—and his hands—off her.

In this trilogy, we meet three of the Dentons, who are billionaires. We are also introduced to their billionaire family friends the Elkins. Josh Denton is trying to take over a mom & pop hotel in his assistant’s, Amelia, hometown, where he and his family vacationed before his mother’s death. So, Amelia and Josh make a mutually advantageous deal with each other. Of course, neither mentioned that they already had feelings for each other, when they went into the deal of their make-believe engagement. Josh wants to add to Denton Hotels portfolio adding the Cedar Grove Hotel & Spa. So misunderstandings, guilt and a little mischief and a little mayhem happen. I found it funny that Josh & Amelia had such feelings for each other and don’t say anything. I get it, but it was fun to see them find out about each other and how they got along.
Amelia’s family is awesome and are hilarious. Finding out about how Josh’s mom passed was heartbreaking and how his dad is dealing with it. His brother Mitch is even worse as a work-a-holic and his cousin the chef, is the most fun of the bunch. Mitch Sr. Is a bit much and I’m glad he gets straightened out. I was very upset with how he treated Amelia and Josh during the first book. In book two, we deal with Mitch Jr. There, a big snowstorm hits and thus, about half of the people that work at Denton Hotel in the flagship, where there is a huge party coming up can work. The owner of the event planning for it is a huge bleep and Mitch comes upon her dressing down one of the employees. I fell in love with Mitch with his response. Totally awesome section of the book. He may be clueless in some other parts of the book, but this type of stuff is in his wheelhouse. So, he wants the beautiful woman he saves from the event planning shrew, to continue on with the gala, her name is Jules Cardwell. They are very attracted to each other. While inspecting what had already been done outside they find a baby left in the nativity scene’s manger. I was terrified for that baby! I was livid. So many emotional responses went thru me when I read that section!
They take the baby in because there is no way social workers can come for the baby for the whole weekend. In those days, they fall in love with the baby. The story is all about the gala and I was a bit miffed at Mitch Sr again, because of how he treats Jules. *shakes head ruefully* I am very proud of how Mitch Jr stands up to his dad finally.
In book 3, it’s all about Chris Denton, Mitch & Josh’s cousin who is a celebrity Chef. At the Glenford Community Center, Chris goes to his hometown, where he hasn’t been back to since he left to live with his cousins. There he is going to be in the Annual Gingerbread House Competition against his first love & heartbreak Mara Lancaster. So many misunderstandings from back when they were dating until he left to be with his cousins. Both of them, Chris & Mara were heartbroken and both hadn’t gotten over it. They are still drawn to each other and a bunch of mayhem mishaps ensue. It was interesting to read about a competition like this in a book. It felt real while reading. I really enjoyed the entire trilogy, but I think my fave will be Chris’ book. Things get straightened out after a lot of angst and a bunch of antics by the ppl behind the scenes to draw out more drama for the show. I like that he actually talked to Dan, who was the main problem between Chris and Mara. Finding out the truth, made Chris get his idiot-ness out and fix things between the three of them. I loved this trilogy. I can’t wait to read about the Elkins! They ought to be just as much fun.

Three awesome books with the Denton Billionaire men! The three books included are The Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée; The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby and The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas.
The Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée is about Josh and Amelia. She is the assistant, right hand to Josh for the past couple of years and they both enjoy working with each other and carefully pay attention to each other’s details. Josh daydreams a lot about Amelia but will never do anything to avoid having to get a new assistant in case things do not work out. The property of Cedar Grove was just placed on the market, and he wants to purchase it, the problem is that the property owner is a family man, and being that he is not married or seeing anyone, he does not think he has a chance to getting the bid for the property unless he has a fiancée.
The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby is about Mitch, Jules, and Noelle. Mitch is the billionaire who is ready to get this party started as he knows his father is going to make a huge announcement. He hired an events planner to get everything perfect for the big day; however, she had to cancel at the last minute. This is where Jules comes in as she is sent to work on the event herself. Well, when he starts to give her the tour of the hotel and the area for the event, they come across a real baby which was left in a nativity scene. They decide to work out a schedule for both to care for the baby and plan this event. This was a delight to read, I thought that he might have just called someone to handle the situation, but instead, he embraced it and ended up wanting his own family.
The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas is about Chef Christopher Denton and Mara, who are competing against each other one for publicity and the other for the prize money. These two have a past where one ended up with a broken heart. Although both are focused on the contest- the banter between them is hilarious. The attraction and spark are still there, but now that they may be able to explore it, Maras ex decides to show up to put a stop to it. Can Christopher and Mara continue with this or will the contest be everything they have? This was a sweet read for a holiday romance.

The Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée
This quick little story was so much fun. I fell in love with Josh immediately. There’s just something so charming about the driven hotelier. Even when he was being “all business”, I could still sense a playfulness about him. Amelia drove me batty. I really enjoyed seeing an ambitious business woman who was more than just a stone b!tch. And her zany family left me in uncontrollable giggles during any scene with them. But the hissy fit she threw when she got what she wanted and realized it didn’t look like what she thought she wanted, made me question how much I liked her character. I thought the ending was perfectly adorable and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next for the Denton family.
The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby
I loved this pair even though they frustrated the living daylights out of me. Mitch and Jules remind me a bit of the old joke about ‘how do porcupines mate?’ They both start out so guarded, but we get to witness them chip through the defenses for one another and learn to be a little vulnerable. Their story has a beautiful underlying message of hope for the holiday season and being true to your own heart rather than other peoples’ expectations. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next book in this series brings us.
The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas
This story has all the sweet feels for any good holiday romance. It’s also got a whole lot of spice, as the chemistry between Chris and Mara is combustible. Anyone who knows me, knows I love seeing a second chance come to fruition. This pair had such an awful ending to their first one, they desperately needed to get another shot at making it right. I had so much fun watching Chris and Mara rekindle the love they used to feel. The only real complaint I have, is that Chris took the blame for everything that went wrong between them. I personally believe that Mara is just as much to blame for how their rift came about, and I would have loved to see her own up to her part in it. I kind of hate that the series is over now. I’ve loved getting to know the whole extended Denton family and I’m going to miss them.

*** Reviewing “THE BILLIONAIRE’S CHRISTMAS FIANCÉE” ***
Cedar Grove Hotel and Spa, an old luxury hotel that Joshua Denton fondly remembered staying at with his mom, went up for sale. On a whim, because it had been so important to those childhood memories of his mom, he wanted to purchase the hotel under his Denton Hotel Group ownings. But the owner of this family business is picky about who he will sell the family-owned-and-operated hotel to, and insists a family man should purchase it, not a business conglomerate.
Joshua calls in his efficient and bubbly assistant, Amelia MacTaggart, a very capable young woman, to plan a trip there to try to negotiate with the owner. He learns from her that she just happens to be from Cedar Grove and he is hoping she can perhaps help him push forward with the purchase. Joshua asks Amelia to act as his fiancée, hoping that the current owners will figure he is a family man and be willing to sell to him. He will, in turn, offer Amelia the promotion she wants. So Amelia agrees to spend the Christmas weekend with him at the hotel pretending to be his fake fiancée.
Both Joshua and Amelia haven’t given any thought to how difficult it might be to be together like this and fake an engagement in a romantic hotel setting. What will they do when it starts to feel “real”? Will they be able to “seal the deal” (the hotel purchase, not whatever may have flashed through your naughty minds!)?
I love this author’s writing and enjoyed this new series. Her characters are delightful, and the story line, even if predictable at times, is entertaining and well-paced. Grab your copy and enjoy the stories that will draw you in!

Annnnnd I have officially started reading cute Christmassy romances, people! This series was the perfect way to kick off the Christmas meet-cutes. I read this entire series in one day - started at 12:45 pm and ended at 6:30 pm, which is exactly 5 hours and 45 minutes. Not bad for three books overall.
Okay, so let's get on with what I thought of each book.
Billionaire's Christmas Fiancee: 4.5/5
This has got to be the least dramatic, softest, sweetest Christmas story in this series. Easily my favourite book, couple, and smutty scenes. Loved Josh; he was imperfect yet his flaws complemented Amelia's.
Billionaire's Sudden Christmas Baby: 4/5
I liked Mitch a decent amount, except when he was being an ass to Jules during that scene where he went off with Sara. I don't even have children and yet I understood Jules' tiredness and absolute exhaustion as she dealt with Noelle and the alarm from the fitness watch. I wanted to shake some sense into Mitch, but fortunately, he did it to himself soon enough. I also didn't really understand Mitchell's hostile reaction to Jules being inferior to them in status. Wanted more cute scenes with Noelle and Mitch interacting.
Billionaire's Second Chance Christmas: 2.5/5
I absolutely hated Chris. Period. He was a PITA through and through. Remained too arrogant throughout the book - not enough grovelling from him to make his arrogance charming. Mitch, for example, was arrogant, but it was charming because he recognised he was wrong/should do better so he did. Chris felt more like a spoiled little brat instead. No offence to Mara, but she could do so much better. She spent 90% of the book heartbroken/feeling all sorts of emotional angst because of this man. 100% would not read this book again because it got me so mad - the complete opposite of what a Christmas romance should do to a reader.

Billionaires Christmas Fiancée
All work and little play! Josh Denton believes that he must improve the family hotel chain and that’s all that he needs. Amelia is his assistant and has always felt the chemistry between them but NEVER acted on it or let him know that she valued him as anything other than a great boss. Acting as his fiancé to land a new hotel seems like a good plan with all of the stipulations that she put on it until it isn’t. Can they come away unscathed and will their plan work?
The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby
The oldest Denton son, Mitch, is the heir apparent as long as he dances to daddy’s tune. When the Christmas Gala plans explode, Mitch is blessed to have a fall back planner who was apparently already doing all of the work. Jules excitedly says yes and the games begin in earnest especially when they find a real baby in the hotel Nativity Scene. What will happen between then and when the Christmas Gala occurs? Will Mr Denton allow Mitch to continue with the plans that are in place? Will the chemistry and an infant lead to more?
The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas
Chris is the one Denton that’s not a brother. When his parents died he went to live with his cousins and gained two brothers in the process. Chef Chris, as the brothers started calling him, is involved in a gingerbread competition in his home town. Little did he know that his high school sweetheart is his competitor. Knowing that they ended on a bad note doesn’t make him feel very positive but one look at Mara tells him that the feelings are still there. Now let the drama begin with a fire, lots of shouting, an ex boyfriend and ice skating.

Christmas with the Denton Billionaires is a heartwarming set of books that will have you cheering for these billionaires. The stories are heartfelt. drew me in and had me connecting with the characters. My favorites are:" The Billionaire's Christmas Fiancé", and "The Billionaire's Second Chance Christmas". In the first story, The Billionaire's Christmas Fiance, Josh and Amelia draw you in to this story right from the beginning. Josh has one goal and that is to buy the resort he spent the last Christmas with his mother before she passed. Josh has some hurdles he has to get through to do it and using his assistant who just so happens to come from Cedar Grove isn't beyond his doing in fact she will be perfect for the job. Amelia starts off in all agreement with it for the promotion being the end game but begins to have misgivings when she encounters the owner and her family with being in a fake relationship. Will this backfire causing heartache beyond repair for Amelia and will Josh repent in time for Christmas? My other favorite is The Billionaire's Second Chance Christmas. In this story Christopher and Mara have history she was the one that broke his heart. Now he is back in town trying to drum up publicity for his new show. Mara needs to win this contest to open up her bakery. The more time they have to spend in each other's presence shows just how much unfinished business lies between them.

The Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancé, Josh and Amelia: they fake a relationship so Josh can buy a family resort. The dynamic between Josh and Amelia is well written, and although they faced challenges it all play out into a happy ending. These two have had a lengthy attraction at work, so the Christmas fiancé role is a well thought ruse that brings them together.
The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby, Mitch and Jules: these two are forced to work together after firing the event planner, their relationship build up quick with high pressure start and an abandoned baby is added to the mix. While their relationship is a bit rushed up, Mitch’s and Jules come together in this beautifully written Christmas story.
The Billionaire’s Second Chance, Chris and Mara: They dated in high school and broke up because of jealousy and vindictive behavior. These reconnect at a baking competition, Chris doesn’t seem to have changed much, and Mara is clueless. Their past resentment and feelings are still high, Chris gets some advice from one of his cousins, and miraculously they get together. They did fight throughout most of the story, which was a bit hard to focus on and enjoy the read; but i'm assuming painting a realistic view of relationships is the idea here? not sure but in all, they Denton Billionaires found their better halves and happiness.

Christmas with the Denton Billionaires was entertaining. The first book in the series focused on Josh and was titled, "Book One: Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée." Its plot was filled with hilarity, a fake engagement, a confession, and love. Josh and Amelia, the protagonists, were ideally suited for each other and gushed with chemistry. I loved the vivid descriptions the author used. They conveyed an upbeat tone.
The second installment focused on Mitch and was titled, "Book Two: The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby." Moreover, its plot was filled with a big surprise in a small package, every event planner's dream in anticipation of the long-awaited make-or-break Christmas gala, battling nature with the overwhelming snow flurries, navigating life at the penthouse, some levity, and love. Mitch and Jules, the protagonists, were so cute together. They were made for each other. And baby Noelle was adorable!
The last part of the trilogy focused on Josh and Mitch's cousin, Chef Chris. His delightful story was titled, "Book Three: The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas." The plot was filled with hilarity, disgruntled high school nostalgia, baking up a storm with discreetness, trying to win the gingerbread baking contest, altruism, reconciliation, and love. Overall, I enjoyed reading the trilogy.

Book 1: Amelia has been Josh’s right hand man for 2 years and when a resort that Josh Frequented with his parents and brother growing up goes up for sale he plans a trip there to make the deal. Then while making the travel arrangements for his trip he learns this is Amelias hometown. This starts a string of lies and things get very complicated. Feelings that have been ignored pour out and things only get more complicated. Good characters with a HEA
Book 3: Second chance with lots of snark and tension. Chris Denton is a celebrity chef with attitude. Mara was his high school love who cheated on him, or did she? Mara is a heroine you can relate to and root for. She is snarky and sweet. Great book 2 to the Denton story with a pop in for the characters of the first book (Josh and Amelia). This is a quick read and fun.

The Denton brothers each have their own story and they are "The Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée", "The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby" and "The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas". These are a fairly short and quick reads. Each story features a Denton billionaire finding in love and more. They are all interesting and fast paced reads strong and likable characters. Delightful reads with good and captivating holiday story lines.
"The Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée" - It's a fake to so much more story with wonderful characters. This is Josh and Amelia's story.
"The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby" - I really like Mitch and Jules! Great chemistry between the characters! A surprise real baby is left in a nativity scene and they both agree to give the best Christmas ever. However, they find something more.
"The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas" - I really like Christopher and Mara! Great chemistry between the characters! It's a nicely developed second chance romance with a little competition in the mix.

I loved Christmas with the Denton Billionaires. This was an amazing set of three stories. They are all set around the holidays and the Denton men. Josh and Amelia work together and their fake engagement turns to real but in good fashion Josh screws things up. Mitch and Jules find a baby outside his hotel and end up being co-parents for the holidays. Unfortunately, following in his dithers footsteps he makes a few wrong decisions and pushes Jules away. Last we have Chris and Mara who are getting a second chance but a lot of time has passed old wounds are still festering. Chris can’t let go of the past and so he pushes Mara away. Denton men are stubborn and need a little help to get the women they love to come around. It would help if they didn’t make mistakes. I loved all three stories and all of the characters. They seem like a great family. I would definitely recommend this book.

This was a great boxset of the Denton billionaires. Each story covers the three Dentons in a steamy Christmas anthology. They are all OTT, with warm steamy Christmas feelings.
Book 1: Josh and Amelia end up becoming an office fake fiancee romance. They both have feelings for each other but have kept them under wraps. Can their fake relationship become real?
Book 2: This story is Jules and Mitch's story. I love this story the best. They find baby Noelle abandoned in a real manager. How will they handle the situation they find themselves in?
Book 2: This is the Christmas miracle story. Mara and Christopher have had trouble in their past but there is still love between them. Can they get their second chance at happiness and that Christmas Miracle?
An enjoyable trilogy of Christmas love.

Another helping of feel-good HEA for mature readers
It’s always fun reading Leslie North books, they are like conditioner for the brain, relaxes the neural connections.
Josh and Amelia’s arrangement had me shaking my head and telling them ‘bad idea’, unfortunately they didn’t listen to me 🙄. And of course I was laughing at them the deeper into the mess they got, all of that because of the detail the author goes into describing the characters and their antics.
Mitch and Jules finding a baby in a luxury holiday resort, lucky baby. It would be wonderful if more situations like this (instant happy family) did have HEA.
Chris is my favourite Benton! I was reading about Mara and Chris’s competition when the end of one of the cooking competitions was in the home run, so I found it interesting to read about what happens in competition kitchens.

This bundle of sweetness and spice consisting of three charming holiday stories is the perfect take me away after a long day! Even billionaires have hearts and when they melt all bets are off.
I loved Christmas with the Denton Billionaires which was another showcase of author Leslie North’s talents as each individuals journey of the heart finds room for a lot of Christmas cheer.
There maybe a little drama and tears and definitely a little spicy spice but the outcomes are always assured to be happy ones.
All three stories were engaging and immersive but my favorite was Amelia and Josh’s which had me chuckling within the first few pages.
With these well written stories you’ll find your time well spent so curl up with a good book and enjoy!.

This is a joyous collection. The Denton name carries weight in the hotel business. Joshua and Mitch Denton were raised by their father along with their cousin, Chris Denton to be the best and carry on the family business. Josh reached out for a deal with the help of his assistant, Amelia MacTaggart. Their closeness brought about their love. Mitch was busy running the main Denton Hotel. During a snow storm, he is thrown together with Jules Cardwell. Their meeting starts out rather unusually, but brings the couple together. Chris made is name in the cooking show industry. He returned to his home to town to boost his publicity. Unexpectingly he is reunited with Mara Lancaster. Their time together proves they were meant to be together.

Love this box set! What more could you ask for, it has stories for Josh, Mitch and Chris.
Josh, who is trying to buy the oldest hotel in the city, needs a family to impress the family oriented owners. So he asks his P.A., Amelia to be his fake fiancé.
Mitch, who gets trapped with Jules, an event decorator, during a massive snow storm. They also find a baby left in the manager. This forced proximity is everything.
And Chris, the cousin who is a celebrity chef, is back in town and competing in the Gingerbread House Competition, against his ex-girlfriend Mara. This second chance will have you turning the pages.

Christmas with the Denton Billionaires is a set of three steamy Christmas stories. All have the warm and fuzzy, OTT Christmas feeling.
Book 1: The Billionaire's Christmas Fiancée focuses on Josh and Amelia. This is an office and fake fiancée romance. What happens when real feelings are involved? This one was my favorite.
Book 2: The Billionaire's Sudden Christmas baby focuses on Mitch and Jules along with baby Noelle. When they find a baby literally in a manager, how will they handle it?
Book 3: The Billionaire's Second Chance Christmas focuses on Christopher and Mara. These two have a troubled past, but the line between love and hate is close. Can they find their way back to each other?
Overall, I enjoyed this cozy and steamy Christmas set. We do end up with happy endings after the drama.

Two brothers and a cousin get surprises for Christmas when situations bring three women on board to help them. The first starts off as his assistant becomes a fake fiance in a relationship that ends up burning hot. The next takes place as a blizzard hits the hotel and these two are trapped with a real baby in a manger display. The final is a professional chef and his competition in gingerbread house decorating gets under his skin. Splendid characters and situations. The storylines were vivid with details and powerful feelings, emotions and drama. Loved the way the stories all come together in great endings. Well done.
