Ethan Vice eats, sleeps, and breathes the Vice family business and has since he was a young boy. All he's ever wanted was to follow in his father's footsteps and now that opportunity is within his grasp. He only has one task to accomplish and the CEO position is his. Supremely confident, Ethan doesn't anticipate it will take more than a few days to convince the Martinez family it's in their best interest to agree to allow their resort to be sold to a huge hotel chain in order to complete Ethan's multi-billion dollar deal. Of course, grumpy Ethan has yet to meet the gorgeous ray of sunshine that is Emmy Martinez, or spend time with her big, boisterous, loving, Cuban-American family, or experience the magic of La Magia and Sandpiper Key. Leave it to Breezie Bennett to take the most no-nonsense, fun-averse, workaholic member of the Vice family and transform him into my favorite hero of the series. I loved Ethan's growth arc and the man he eventually becomes once his eyes are opened, his heart engaged, and his priorities realigned. I loved the reactions of his siblings and their partners when they descended upon La Magia and discovered an Ethan they barely recognize. And I adored the sweet, sexy chemistry between Ethan and Emmy. So much fun!

This book is such a delight - tender, sexy, heart-tugging, and pure magic. Bennett transported me to the Florida Keys with her vivid descriptions and sense of place. I could hear, smell, and feel the tropical beauty of Sandpiper Key. Then she populated the cast with a group of characters who made me want to book the next flight south. I want to experience all of Emmy's tours, fly over the sand with her in her golf cart, and soak in her exuberance for life. I want to enjoy the laughter, joy, delicious Cuban food, and well-loved stories at the Martinez family table. I want to spend time with the newly transformed Ethan and celebrate the special love that shimmers around him and Emmy. I want to go back to the first page of this book and experience the pleasure of their journey all over again, from beginning to end.

If you haven't discovered Breezie Bennett's The Miami Vices series yet, I highly recommend it. There's such an endearing quality to her writing, along with some sizzle, spot-on family dynamics, humor, emotional storylines, and fun, fun, fun. The Billionaire's Big Mistake wraps up this series but we won't have long to wait before Bennett is back with a new book and a new series. Messing With the Billionaire: A Sweet Romantic Comedy launches Bennett's new Maid in Miami series on October 15, 2021. I've already circled the date on my book calendar.

The Billionaire's Big Mistake is the newest book in the Miami Vices series from Breezie Bennett. Readers finally get oldest brother Ethan Vice's book. I have to say that Ethan has always seemed a bit uptight and a total workaholic, so I was wondering what type of woman would finally make him want to more in life than work. Emmy Martinez was like a ray of sunshine from the moment she appeared on the page, and was so opposite to Ethan, I couldn't wait to see what happened between them.

I loved how much Ethan changed over the course of this story. I honestly wasn't sure he really had it in him. He has always been so focused on work, and was there to facilitate the sell of the resort to ensure his position of CEO of Vice Hospitality upon his father's retirement. His arrival at Sandpiper Key, and specifically La Magia set his life on a detour he never expected. Emmy Martinez and her family were such a breathe of fresh air to Ethan's world. He went from over serious workaholic to a man who enjoyed all aspects of life. Emmy made me smile so much in this story. She has such a Pollyanna outlook on life and I really loved her for making no apologies and being true to herself at all times.

I loved that Ethan and Emmy were so attracted to one another from pretty much the moment they met, yet they waited until it was the right time for them to be together. They had such amazing chemistry and it grew stronger the more time they spent together. Part of the story I loved best of all was when Ethan's siblings and significant others came to visit. It was so fun to see everyone's reactions to the changes in Ethan, and to see how happy he and Emmy were together. I love how much support Ethan got from his siblings when he told them his plans for La Magia, and how it could change the future of their company.

I've loved each book in the Miami Vices series of books, and loved how Breezie Bennett wrapped up the series so perfectly. She once again gave her readers a funny, sexy story that will pull at all your heartstrings. I can't wait to see where Ms. Bennett takes her readers in future books.

Ending with a Bang!

Breezie Bennett saves the best story for last! Ethan Vice, oldest of four brothers (12 minutes older than his twin, Jayson), is extremely interested in his family's business, Vice Hospitality, and has a reputation among his siblings as his father's clone and successor to the CEO role. Being dedicated to the business has left him hardly any time for life outside work; even as a child he worked on his computer and wondered why his siblings were playing outside, which seemed like a waste of time to him.
The story begins with a meeting between Vice Hospitality and the Haywood Group, which is arranging a trade of numerous prooerties and wants to sew things up quickly. One property catches their attention: a small resort on the tiny island of Sandpiper Key. Ethan's father says that he bought it nearly 30 years earlier, and in the small print of his purchase contract it states that the current owner needs to sign a contract approving the sale before it's valid. Confident that he can close the deal and make his father proud, Ethan volunteers to go. The Haywood rep, Mark Simmons, warns Ethan that if he doesn't deliver within three weeks, the deal is off. Ethan brushes off the empty threat and arranges travel from Miami to the small Key.
At La Magia, the Martinez family waits eagerly for the arrival of the mysterious Mr. Vice, who technically owns the resort but hasn't checked in for 10 years. Mari-Elena (nicknamed Emmy), the granddaughter of founder and Cuban immigrant Santiago Martinez, bursts from the main house with open arms and is surprised to find Ethan, a handsome 30-year-old who has "dressed down" for the Keys by removing his suit coat and tie but still looks like a too-serious businessman, instead of his much older father. She takes her own job seriously---if taking tourists the siaround the island in a golf cart can be taken seriously!---and begins showing Ethan around the resort. He sees a small boy running on the pool deck and tells Emmy it's a potential lawsuit. True to character, Emmy laughs and says that people come to La Magia for the magic ("la magia" in English), not for lawsuits!
As the three weeks progress, so does Ethan's attachment to the resort, its way of life...and its tour guide! He starts wearing Hawaiian shirts, stops wearing shoes, and---shockingly---starts smiling! When his siblings visit him, they can't believe the new Ethan...until they meet Emmy. Then the changes make sense.
Ethan warns his brothers and sister not to say anything about the intended sale, but Clay the chef insists that not telling Emmy will hurt him. Ethan says he will tell her "tomorrow"---a day that comes sooner than he expects.
Mark Simmons, impatient to demolish La Magia and erect a Haywood "eye sore" (according to Ethan), arrives at La Magia before the three weeks are up and demands to see Ethan, brutally telling the family that Haywood will tear down their "resort" and put up a *real* hotel in its place. What, Ethan didn't tell them? No wonder, given how distracted he's been! He looks over Emmy as he says that, further emphasizing his sliminess. Emmy is first hurt, then outraged---what else has Ethan been keeping from her? She tells him off, to Mark's amusement, and runs out of the lobby in tears.
Heartbroken, Ethan calls his father and comes clean about taking La Magia out of the deal and infuriating Mark Simmons. His father, contrary to Simmons's threat to "tell on him to Daddy", which may have worked before Ethan set foot on Sandpiper Key but doesn't anymore, congratulates his son on showing compassion for the Martinez family, telling him the promotion is his because his father's only reservation was Ethan's lack of empathy. Concern about the ethics of displacing a large family showed the empathy Mr. Vice wanted to see. Determined to do the right thing, Ethan returns La Magia to Santiago.
At a dinner for both families on Sandpiper Key, Mr. Vice announces his retirement and names Ethan the new CEO. Ethan promptly promotes his siblings to Co-CEOs, focusing on their areas of expertise---Ellie in publicity; Clay in food and beverage services; Noah in logistics, which includes his existing position managing the local football team; and Jayson in, well, fun! Then he sends Emmy and the rest of her family and his out to the beach, promising to see them soon. The next thing they notice is a paraglider---Ethan, who has refused to paraglide and sworn all along that he prefers land-based activities with a lower risk of plunging to death! After he lands, he proposes, and everyone---his family, her family, and readers like me---cheers!
I liked Ethan from the start; obsession with business aside, he's much less conceited than his brothers, and there's a fun side in him waiting to emerge! He also has a way with children, tutoring Emmy's nephew in math and saving her young niece from a riptide. Emmy herself is a ray of sunshine that not even super-serious Ethan can resist! I highly recommend this book!

Breezie Bennett has done it again and continues to give her readers incredible romantic comedies! I absolutely LOVED The Billionaire’s Big Mistake, the fourth book in her Miami Vice series. This book was rather bittersweet for me since it is the final book in the Miami Vice series. I have loved all the stories about the Vice siblings. Breezie Bennett definitely did not disappoint with The Billionaire’s Big Mistake and has once again delivered an incredible story filled with everything that I love about her books. The Billionaire’s Big Mistake is an incredible story and I loved reading every moment on every page and could not put it down. Breezie Bennett has once again provided her readers with the amazing characters, that I have come to love and expect in her books, they feel like family! I love the lighter moments in The Billionaire’s Big Mistake, where I found myself smiling and laughing. Once again Breezie Bennett has shown with The Billionaire’s Big Mistake that she is a master storyteller, proving that she continues to be a force to be reckoned with in romantic comedy genre. I love all the insight into the various parts of Vice Hospitality that the Vice siblings are responsible for that Breezie includes in the story. Who doesn't love hot sexy men, strong females, and loving families who always support one another, they are all such wonderful characters? I love how Breezie Bennett somehow, she manages to find the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong woman on her own, to balance out the billionaire Vice brother. Once more her characters in The Billionaire’s Big Mistake are so believable and charming, they share great chemistry, lots of laughs, and steamy romance. The Billionaire’s Big Mistake delivers all those things that I love most about romantic comedies. I love that Breezie Bennett writes in the first person from the perspective of the two main characters, and continues to use vocabulary that remains true to her characters. I enjoy getting to see things from the viewpoints of both of the main characters. The Billionaire’s Big Mistake is filled with all those things that I have come to love and expect in a Breezie Bennett romantic comedy, especially the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. The Billionaire’s Big Mistake is the story of Ethan Vice, CEO in training for Vice Hospitality, and Mari-Elena “Emmy” Martinez, head of guest services and attractions for La Magia, in Sandpiper Key. Who does not love an opposite attract love story? Ethan and Emmy meet when Ethan arrives at La Magia for a signature to from Santiago Martinez to complete a Vice Hospitality deal with Haywood Hotels for purchase of La Magia. Ethan has always been a workaholic, and plans to complete the transaction and head back to Miami. Christopher Vice informs Ethan that once this deal is complete, he will be retiring and transferring power to him, as the new CEO of Vice Hospitality. Emmy is not impressed with Ethan when he arrives, between his designer clothing and grumpy attitude, she is not thrilled with him. Emmy does not realize that Ethan is a La Magia to finalize its sale, and assumes he is on vacation. Emmy plays tour guide for Ethan. I love Ethan finally relaxes, and unplugs from work all because of Emmy. As they spend more time together exploring the amenities on Sandpiper Key things begin to change between them, and Ethan begins to feel things that he has not felt before. Emmy is wary about starting a relationship with Ethan, because she knows that his vacation will eventually end and he will return to Miami. I love Ethan and Emmy’s love story, and how the plot twist changes things between them. I love the amazing chemistry between Emmy and Ethan. I love that Ethan got the happily ever after, that he was not even looking for! I love the characters and the family dynamic in The Billionaire’s Big Mistake, the characters feel like family and friends. I love the conversation between Ethan and his dad. The Billionaire’s Big Mistake feels like a family reunion, and I loved catching up with all the Vice siblings and their significant others. I enjoy all the interactions among the Vice siblings, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing. I love this final farewell to the Vice family. Who doesn’t love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? The Billionaire’s Big Mistake is filled with all those things that I have come to long and expect from Breezie Bennett, incredible characters, amazing story, light, poignant and bittersweet moments, and surprise plot twists. She did not disappoint in her delivery of those things. I love how she resolved the surprise plot twist; it was truly a heartwarming moment. My favorite part of the book was the epilogue, I truly love how it went above and beyond the happily ever after. I especially love everything about Ethan’s proposal. I could not put the book down; I loved every moment. It was an amazing story and I highly recommend it.

The Billionaire's Big Mistake (The Miami Vices 4)

****** Spoiler Alert ******
This is the fourth in this series by Breezie Bennett. And it is the eighth time I am reading this author’s work.
The reading is light and fun to read. A quick read (but not a novella). The parts that make it the most fun are the characters. In this case the major characters are:
Mari-Elena Martinez – Emmy is the sunshine and vitality in her family. When they want a group tour she is sent. Because she is the hostess with the mostest!!

Ethan Vice- Ethan is a certified workaholic by all his family members. He has no life. He has not even had a girlfriend since the eigth grade. Ethan is often considered a Grump. Emmy calls him that and also broody.

The story is Ethan is coming down to get contracts signed for a billion dollar merger. (If he does this he becomes CEO) But only if Vice sells their part to this guy who will bulldoze it. The resort does not know that. They just know a Vice, one of their Billionaire owners is coming. So they pull out all the stops by putting Emmy as the greeter and the person in charge of having Ethan see the island. Emmy does not allow him to work. She gives him silly pink sunglasses. That was his true first full day there! The two already had the hots for one another. In fact at the end of Day 1, Ethan kisses Emmy. And that starts it all. But Ethan totally enjoys her family and the island and decides right away there is no way he is selling this place and having it bulldozed.
Lots happens including the two becoming intimate.

Will Ethan tell Emmy about the merger before it’s too late?
Will he tell his Dad?
Will Emmy ever be able to forgive him when she does find out?
Will her Abuelos be able to forgive Ethan for what he has done?
Can Ethan give up the CEO for Emmy?

What happens after this? It is definitely worth it to Read the Whole story because the ending is unexpected.

To me this is the best of this series! I loved this one! Not that I didn’t love them all. This one one just had something extra-special!

10/10++

Ethan and Emmy’s love story in The Billionaire's Big Mistake by Breezie Bennett, book four in her Miami Vices series, is a wonderful, sizzling, emotional and perfect romance to conclude this amazing series. Ethan Vice is workaholic and the last single Vice sibling; seeing nothing wrong with his way of life. A hidden agenda, accidentally falling in love and the usual Vice family support system are the order of the day here.

While in negotiations for a huge deal, Ethan is discovers that the deal cannot move forward without the signatures of the family that runs one of the properties where they are the silent owners. Ethan has so much riding on this deal and thinks it will be an easy trip to the Keys to close the deal. When he arrives, he meets Emmy who will make him rethink his priorities. Emmy is energetic, fun loving, a live life to the fullest type of person, basically the total opposite of Ethan. The best part is that she was able to draw Ethan away from his workaholic ways and show him that there is more to life than just work, work, work. When he came down, he didn't disclose the true reason and motivation for his unexpected visit to the Keys. This secret might just come back to hurt him. Ethan must decide what is truly important in his life, work or love.

Ms. Bennett wrote a fun, flirty, sizzling romance that should definitely not be missed. She provided a tale rich with emotions, sizzling chemistry, humor, wonderful dialogue, endearing character and a supportive family giving Ethan and Emmy the possibility of having a future together; one they both desired. I highly recommend The Billionaire's Big Mistake to other readers.

This is book number 4 in the Miami Vices series and focuses on Ethan and Emmy. Ethan is 100% a workaholic who's job is his whole life. He was the last single Vice brother and he saw nothing wrong with that way of life. While in negotiations for a huge deal, it is made aware that the deal cannot go forward without the signatures of the family that runs one of the properties they are silent owners of. Ethan has so much riding on this deal and thinks it will be an easy trip to the Keys to close the deal. Oh boy was he wrong on that! When he arrives, he meets Emmy and everything changes for him. Emmy is an energetic, fun loving, live life to the fullest type of person, aka basically the opposite of Ethan. The beauty of that is that she was able to draw Ethan out of his workaholic ways and show him that there is more to life than just work, work, work. When he came down, he didn't disclose the true reason and motivation for his unexpected visit to the Keys. Now he is faced with what is truly important in his life, work or love. This was such a wonderful story and a great addition and end to the series! I have loved seeing all the Vice brothers find their HEA throughout this series! I definitely recommend this entire series!

I love this series by Breezie Bennett and I think she saved the best Vice for last! Ethan is the serious member of the successful Vice family. He isn’t fun-loving like the rest of his siblings and he lives for his job. He rarely dated, was always on his phone or laptop, and seemed to be a bit lonely. Ms. Bennett knew exactly what she was doing when she paired Ethan with the feisty and beautiful Emmy. If anyone needed a vacation it was Ethan, and the La Magia Resort was the perfect location. Who wouldn't want to be tucked away on an island paradise with warm breezes and tropical drinks?

Sandpiper Key is a quaint and beautiful island hidden from the world. The Martinez family have been gracious hosts for many years and they always make you feel like part of the family. However, Ethan wanted nothing to do with sunshine, sand and surf. He was there to conduct business, not to wiggle his toes in the sand. Everything changed for Ethan when Emmy introduced herself to him as he emerged from his Escalade. He thought she was beautiful, laid back and...was she actually barefoot? Emmy was a force to be reckoned with and Ethan had never met anyone quite like her. Emmy quickly convinced Ethan to leave his work behind and join her as they raced around the island in a pink golf cart. As the sun warmed his heart, he realized there was so much of life that he was missing. Perhaps a vacation with Emmy was just what he needed.

What happens when Ethan must make a decision that would change everything on the peaceful island? What would happen to the idyllic time he had spent with Emmy? Would she ever speak to him again?

I can’t believe it’s the end of this series, but it ended in a great way for the Vice family. From the first page you know that Ethan is all about business and when he shows up at the resort – La Magia and meets Emmy for the first time, yep business is the last thing on his mind, but he’ll figure that out. I loved Emmy and her amazing family, and I also like how this author not only described the family so brilliantly but the area/town as well. It made me want to head to La Magia for some fun, sun, and magic. I enjoyed watching these two come together and Ethan letting his hair down so to speak and have some fun and actually putting work on the back burner, but you knew work and the ‘secret’ he was keeping would come back at some point and when it did, not a good situation. Mark’s character was an absolute jerk and I’m really hoping that he’ll get his someday. I appreciated the way Ethan handled things with Emmy’s grandfather when everything came out and the ending with their families and the news that was shared and his surprise for Emmy, what a perfect send off to this great The Miami Vices series. Can’t wait for the next series heading our way from this author.

This book lost me half way through

I need to like the main characters to enjoy a book and Ethan was an A__hole pretty much all his life until he meets Emma at this “magical” old style resort. They have chemistry and basically hook up and have a fling. We don’t get much of her prior romantic history but she is a vivacious attractive young woman that is experienced so it is safe to say that hooking up probably wasn’t unusual for her in her position at the resort. Ethan readily admitted that in the rare times he made time for women were usual hookups or casual. He was also experienced. Ethan basically lies by giving her false impression on his mission to the resort and continues the lie throughout their fling, while romancing her and having sex with her. Of course predictably she finds out and is furious and hurt because predictably she falls in love with him.
I wish one writer that uses this troupe would have the woman kick the guy of for good instead the way this ends. Then in the epilogue show that she meets her actual love. This could lead to another book. This author is a clever wordsmith and salvaged a 3 star.

This is the fourth book in the Miami Vices series. Three Vices brothers down one more to go. We've hit Ethan’s story, the last single Vice brother, and the biggest workaholic of them all. I knew from the very first moment we were introduced to Ethan, in book one, it was going to take someone special to get Ethan's attention. Breezie Bennett did not disappoint. Emmy is Ethan's polar opposite. She's fun loving, free-spirited, and adventurous to Ethan's buttoned down, all work, no fun altitude. Ethan's suppose to be in the Keys talking to Emmy and her family about selling the resort not ignoring calls and skipping out on work but that’s what happen less than 24 hours after getting there. He’s starting to fall for Emmy but what happens when she and her family find out why he's really down there? Will Ethan realize that there really are things more important than work? Excellent! Steamy and funny. Wonderful book and addition to the series.

I’ve really enjoyed every story in this series, the author has a true talent for mixing fun laugh out loud moments, happy romantic scenes and the surprise elements that make you catch your breathe and wonder how it will all work out….

Ethan need surgery….to remove the stick from up his behind. Always the most serious of the siblings, he is laser focused on succeeding his father as CEO of the family company and nothing is going to get in his way, certainly not the completion of a little deal his father tasks him with, after which he will retire.

Emmy couldn’t be more different to Ethan if she tried, and you know what they say about opposites…. Her laid back (ish!) fun loving attitude to life is magnetic and draws Ethan in even when he doesn’t really know why.

A hidden agenda, accidentally falling in love and the usual Vice family support system are the order of the day here.

A fantastic conclusion to a great series.

I have been waiting to see who would capture Ethan's heart. It would have to be someone like Emmy. She is the opposite of Ethan. He is so grumpy, is a workaholic and she is a fly by the seat of your pants kind of girl. When she forces him to have fun when he is just there to work and get a signature to sell the hotel. What he didn't expect was to find a big, loud family that is so full of love that you can't help but love them back. He isn't sure how his dad will react to his decision to not sell the hotel, but he has changed his mind and he won't put this wonderful family out of a home. Ethan's whole life hangs on this deal. His dad finally said he would give him the CEO position if he closed this deal. But, how can he go through with it? He is afraid to tell Emmy now because she may never want to see him again. What to do? Blow a billion dollar deal or throw a family out in the street?

Breezie Bennett has written another fabulous book & the end to an incredible series!! Ethan Vice finally gets his HEA with Mari-Elena aka Emmy Martinez & finally learns that there’s more to life than working! Ethan is sent to the La Magia Resort to have Emmy’s grandfather sign off on the sale of the resort for a major business deal. Emmy is the complete opposite of uptight Ethan & he can’t help falling for her as she’s his tour guide during his stay in Sandpiper Key. He also becomes close with her loud, loving, crazy family. They’re an adorable couple, she’s just what Ethan needed in his life. As usual all the characters are wonderful, we see the whole Vice family & meet the Martinez family. You will wish they were your family when you’re done reading this book & will be wishing La Magia was a real resort!! A great book with all the feels!! I received an arc from the author for an honest review.

Ethan Vice had one goal and that was to go check out La Magia Inn and Resort and then sign on the dotted line to get it sold as part of a multi-billion dollar deal. When He arrives he doesn’t quite know what to think of the resort, it’s loud, inviting family and most of all the Director of Fun, Mari-Elena Martinez, AKA Emmy. After only a few weeks she open’s Ethan’s eyes that all work and no fun is something he needs to rethink.

I knew that Ethan needed a different kind of woman to pull him out of his workaholic self and this author found the perfect one for him. This story has so many fun characters that add to the solid plot of this book. I already loved the Vice family and adding Emmy’s family to the mix added to much to the path of happy ever after for this couple. This is the last book about the Vice family and I think it is my favorite. If you haven’t read this one check it out as well as the entire series.

Emmy is a fun loving, carefree, free spirit helping her extended family run a small resort in Sandpiper Key. Ethan is the no-nonsense billionaire who wants to take over as CEO of his family’s company. He’s never had a serious girlfriend and finds work brings him the ultimate joy. In this book Breezie Bennett introduces us to two opposites who instead of being on a collision course end up being on a path to a happily ever after – mostly thanks to Emmy’s bubbling, won’t take no for answer if it involves having fun, attitude. Ethan surprisingly falls hard and when he finds himself having to make a decision as to what is the right thing to do, finds it isn’t a really difficult decision as all. These two may be opposites, but they do share a common trait of a deep love for family. It’s fun watching how the final Miami Vice falls in love and brings a satisfying ending to this entertaining series. An entertaining light hearted read.

Absolutely loved the last book in the series. It seems like all of the Vices were caught off guard when it came to realizing they were falling in love. But all of the Vices were completely caught off guard when Ethan fell hard.

In order to close a business deal Ethan discovers that the Vices own a family run property in the Keys that requires the family running it to sign off on the sale. He sets off for what he thinks will be no big deal and thinks it won’t take long to get the required signatures and heads to La Magia where he is met by Emmy - the Hospitality Hostess of Fun. She is determined to show Ethan the magic and how to have fun. Love the magic between them and how it made him a better business person with empathy, and how he comes to love the entire family.

Can’t wait for the next series. These books have a lot of emotions, fun, and chemistry between the lead characters. Loved it!

Grumpy millionaire goes on vacation

Ethan is my favorite Vice billionaire. He goes to the Keys to close a deal and instead gets a personality change. He has always been serious and constantly working without any down time or fun in his life. When he meets the family that runs the magic Resort as they call it he finds they are much like his family only louder. He also discovers he enjoys doing the fun things. He is instantly attracted to Emmy who shows him all the fun things to do. Their time together is threatened by something about his visit he isn't telling her.

Ethan made a distinct change in personality and life style and I loved seeing this side of him. Emmy has such a fun outgoing personality you have to fall in love with her. And as in the previous books the Vice family rallies to support one of their own. Loved the whole series. I recommend it for a fun read.

The Billionaire’s Big Mistake is the 4th and final book in The Miami Vices series by Breezie Bennett. Completely enjoyed this story that finally takes the very uptight, grumpy future CEO of Vice Hospitality to his very own HEA. It was so fun to watch Ethan transform from a grumpy workaholic to a man finally enjoying life and understanding that he can be both a man in love and CEO of the family business. Emmy Martinez is so full of life. Just loved her to pieces. I’m still trying to figure out if there was any matchmaking going on behind the scenes from his dad. Maybe, maybe not. I truly believe that both of Ethan’s parents only wanted their kids to find forever love just like them and realized that without a push from them it wasn’t going to happen.
I highly recommend this series and any book by Breezie Bennett. Her style is young, fresh, fun, and sexy. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. *****

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive...

The deal of the century that will put Ethan Vice squarely in the CEO seat has only one little caveat. Emmy Martinez! Fiery Emmy is as bright and enthusiastic as a sparkler on the fourth of July. Ethan? He's the bucket of water planning to douse it.

In what is undoubtedly Breezie Bennett's most well developed story to date, we enjoy breathtaking word pictures, poignant family moments and the brilliant chipping away of walls around the heart and soul of Ethan Vice. You'll smell the ocean, feel sand between your toes and the wind in your hair! I was totally immersed!

A beautiful tale of love between, not only Ethan and Emmy, but between families. Even though this is part of a series, Breezie nicely recaps, enabling the reader in understanding how everyone is connected.

And the epilogue?? Oh.My.Heart!!

4th book in the Vice series and we have the last single brother as the subject. Really don’t need to read the others to appreciate this book. It will help with the rest of the Vice family relationships.

Ethan is the Vice whose sole focus and life is the family business and how he can make it better. When he find out he only has to complete one more task and then his ultimate job is his, he makes it his goal.

Emmy works at the hotel that her whole family runs and lives at. When they learn one of their owners is comes for a visit for the first time they can’t wait to show all the resort has to offer.

Once they meet Emmy tries to loosen up the all work and no fun owner and Ethan begins to realize he can’t deny his attraction to Emmy and the fun she injects in his life.

Learning About What is Really Important . . .

Ethan head to a holiday resort to talk with Emmy and her family about its sale. He is there to finalize the deal. Emmy was not impressed with the grumpy man and assumes he is there on vacation. So she works on relaxing him and letting go of work. As his focus turns away from intense work, he and Emmy start to fall for each other. Her only hesitation is the worry that he will leave and return to Florida after his vacation. But Ethan has never felt these things before, and now he hesitates to take her resort from her. But how will she react when she hears about the business deal that is his real purpose for being here? Has he ruined everything? Can she ever trust him again?

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Book four in the Miami Vices series is about the last remaining single brother Ethan. He is basically married to his work and that is fine with him. He meets Emmy when trying to close a big deal. She is exactly what he needs in his life. She is his opposite in many ways but they fit as well as a puzzle piece. They have a whirlwind romance that almost ends in disaster. Ethan realizes his priorities have changed and love is most important. I hated to see this series come to an end. The characters are great together.

5-stars for The Billionaire's Big Mistake

I have read both of the author's Miami series and I can't wait until her next one. This book, as well as all her other ones are well written, with just enough steam, and witty banter and you can't forget the sexy, swoonworthy male H's. Every book, including The Billionaire's Big Mistake is just perfect, a perfect romance! Definitely recommend not missing The Billionaire's Big Mistake, a must read that will put a smile on your face!
Even though I did receive an advanced review copy of this book, I also purchased the book/read with Kindle Unlimited and am voluntarily leaving my own unsolicited opinion with my voluntary review.

I have loved the Vice family series. Breezie Bennett's spin off series was such a sweet transition from her debut series The South Florida Riders. She is a new and must read author in the romance genre. I'm sad to leave behind the Vice's but am excited to see where she takes us next.

I loved seeing all business Ethan finally get his HEA and Emmy was the perfect one for this story. Emmy is full of love and happiness and carefreeness that she was the perfect match for the always serious Ethan. I really recommend checking this author out if you haven't yet. She is a wonderful storyteller.

I swear Breezie Bennett gets better with every book. I have a love/hate relationship with the ending of series. The Vices have stolen a piece of my heart and I am so sad this is the last book. However, it was amazing. I loved Emmy and by the end I liked Ethan a lot more then I have in other books. Everything from the island resort to the big loud Cuban family hooked me from the beginning. But that ending? That is how you end a series! It was perfect. I do hope that the Riders and the Vices make appearances in the new series Breezie Bennett is writing.

The Billionaire’s Big Mistake is the final book in Breezie Bennett’s Miami Vice series. It’s Ethan’s story. I must admit, I wasn’t sure I would like Ethan. In previous books, he seemed very boring and uptight. However, Ethan and Emmy’s story may be my favorite in the series. I absolutely loved this book! It’s an opposites attract story between broody workaholic Ethan and fun-loving Emmy. It’s fun and sweet with just the right amount of steaminess. It’s like a vacation in book form. If you’re looking for a fun escape, this is definitely the book for you.

The rich businessman Ethan goes to a holiday resort in order to finalize a business deal but he falls in love with Emmy who works there and destroying her livelihood doesn't seem like such a great idea after all. He is quite a workaholic and Emmy gets him to loosen up and everything seems to work out until she finds out about the business deal.
I enjoyed the story but I found the timeline to be a little fuzzy.
