*While there are three installments in this trilogy, I'm reviewing them all as one story.
The Billionaire's Obsession is not an angsty read. Instead, it is more of a feel good romance about two people falling in love. Simon is a billionaire who is uber smart, sexy, and kind of a social recluse. He doesn’t do relationships and romance. Women use him for his money and in return he uses them for their bodies. That’s what he lives by and how he’s always been…until Kara. He's been keeping an eye on Kara for a year without her knowledge. From the first moment Simon laid eyes on her, working at this mom's restaurant, he feels a pull and protectiveness towards her and has been looking over her ever since.
Kara is a nursing student down on her luck, working as a waitress to get her through school and life. Her roommate had just cut and run without paying rent and so Kara has just been evicted. On top of that, her roommate took just about everything of Kara’s. Left stranded with no home, no belongings, and no money, Simon takes her into his home and lavishes and spoils her with money, clothes, and everything that Kara could ever dreamed of.
Their undeniable chemistry soon drives them together for one night of passion, but one night is not nearly enough. Simon is utterly fascinated and obsessed with Kara. Kara's feelings are also mutual. Their close proximity and time spent together eventually has Kara falling for Simon. However, Simon's shield is hard to crack. He possesses a secret that doesn’t let him trust easily, especially women due to a bad experience in the past (and I mean bad). But, Kara is a determined woman and her determination and love eventually breaks down Simon's tough shield piece by piece.
This serial was simply amazing and finger-lickin’ good!! I haven’t been this giddy over a book for quite some time now. I mean this book was just *happy sigh* So good!
Simon was just so swoon-worthy. Oh man…this hunk of a man was intense, caring, dominating, loving, sexy, and a prowess in and out of bed ;-)
I loved Simon's characterizations; definitely book boyfriend material. I loved Kara as well. She may be one of my favorite heroines. She had an ugly hand dealt to her in life, but she took it in stride. Kara portrayed strength, love, acceptance, and courage. I loved that while Simon threw money at her and wanted to spoil her with materialistic things, she didn't accept them without a fight and that she stood up to Simon. She was a heroine with a backbone and I loved her for that. Simon and Kara were beautiful together. They took no time in capturing my heart. I loved not only their sexy times together, but their realistic and playful interactions with one another that made them believable as a couple.
One thing I ought to mention is that while the love scenes are erotic, they’re not crude at all. Rather, they’re tastefully written with passion in contrast to a simple insert tab A into Slot B. The stories were well-written; the actions and dialogue flowed easily throughout, but one thing I could do without is some of the unnecessary exclamation marks provided in the stories. That would be my only minor complaint.
The Billionaire’s Obsession also provided plenty of romance to melt your heart. The romance in this serial was nicely developed and written and super addictive. What I appreciated about this serial was that while there were an abundance of sex scenes, they didn't overwhelm the story or romance. The author nicely balanced out the two. However, rest assured that there are plenty of steamy love scenes to steam up your ereader ;) (Elevator, bed, bathroom, etc.)
For fans of Kate Dawes’ Fade Series and Raine Miller’s The Blackstone Affair, there's a high chance that you will enjoy The Billionaire's Obsession as well. I can't express how much I love this serial other than that, it was a marvelous read. The Billionaire's Obsession has quickly become one of my favorites and I highly recommend it. For each separate installments I rate them 4 stars, but as a whole this trilogy gets 5 shining stars.
Please don’t deprive yourselves the pleasure of reading The Billionaire’s Obsession. It really is a great read and one truly worth checking out.
