Billionaires Down Under #5
I Do [Hate You]
Remember that time when you woke up naked and handcuffed to Sydney’s biggest player the day before your wedding to someone else?
Yeah, well… neither do I.
James Kane.
Arrogant Playboy Billionaire.
He eats companies for breakfast and pu$$y for dinner.
My brother’s best friend. And totally off-limits.
Which is why nobody knows that James and I have a wedding…situation.
As in, sometime between the first dance and the cutting of the cake, we end up hate-fucking each other somewhere totally inappropriate.
He’s rough, dirty and the orgasms are un-friggin-believable.
But he’s a lifelong bachelor and Sydney’s biggest man-whore.
And I’ve had enough of those.
So when I wake up the day before my wedding with a killer hangover, handcuffed to James bloody Kane with no memory of what happened the night before and no handcuff keys in sight, I know I am so effing screwed.
24 hours to get myself unchained to this arrogant infuriating asshole.
24 until I walk down the aisle…to someone else!
24 hours for us to work together (hah!), avoid my fiancé, brother and basically the entire wedding party, and figure out…
…what the hell happened last night?
If you don’t like ruthless arrogant alphas and the sassy lady he wants to stay cuffed to, don’t read this book.
If you’re not into flamboyantly fabulous man-of-honors, outrageous cradle-snatching Godmothers, and a chatty male stripper who owns a greedy will-eat-anything pooch named Booty, you definitely shouldn’t read this book.

This story is comedy gold. Shell wakes up covered in glitter, wearing a pink bouffant wig, and handcuffed to her brother's best friend James, the man she has been hooking up with periodically. Oh, and she's supposed to get married tomorrow, and has no memory of last night. Hilarity ensues when she and James, unable to find the key, spend the day and evening desperately trying to discover what went on, without anyone finding out about the handcuffs. It is the funniest book I've read in some time, and I actually snorted at one point. Definitely a five-star read, this one is the perfect one-click for the beach. Part of the Billionaires Down Under Series, it can be read as a stand alone, but the rest of the series is also great, so why not read them all?

I am so sad that this completes the Billionaires Down Under series!
This book was a fantastic way to end it though! Not gonna lie, I've been skipping most brother's best friend romances, but I'm so glad I read this one. It was funny, entertaining, and just what I needed. Highly recommend not only this book but the entire series!

For those who have read the other books in this series, we met James Kane briefly as the underhanded and cheating business partner to Logan.
What we didn’t know is that he started an affair with Logan’s sister at Logan’s wedding.
Shell is well aware of his reputation and although their chemistry is phenomenal it does not look like this leopard will change its spots.
So, imagine waking up handcuffed to him, while you are about to marry another man.
The telling of the event is full of humour, intrigue and of course sizzling chemistry between James and Shell.
There are laugh out loud moments, cringing moments, and moments where your heart breaks for Shell.
The aunt is a ‘hoot’ and her friends are just the best.
I read this book in one go on a wet and dreary Sunday afternoon, and it just brightened my day.

Riding His Longboard is my favorite book in this series and I didn’t think anything could beat it, but this book is right up there with it! It’s one of those books that sucks you in and you completely loose track of time while reading it, and it’s so funny! I was laughing out loud at 2am!
I hated James when we met him before because he seemed like the king of douchebags with no redeemable qualities. And well, he is, except when it comes to Shell. At least in his douchbaggery he has a sense of humor and fun, unlike another character in the book.
I know the blurb makes it sound like there’s cheating going on with the two main characters, but there’s really not. *slight spoilers* they slept together before at her brothers wedding when they were both single. They do wake up naked and handcuffed before Shells wedding, but not because they were cheating. Eventually they make out a little but that’s the extent of it.
Overall, it was a great read and you won’t be disappointed for picking it up!

A whole load of fun
You may wonder what could possibly happen in 3 days that could see you about to be married, not married and married all in one weekend.
Well hey I’m not got to spoil the fun. Sit back and enjoy the shenanigans of one truly memorable wedding weekend. It will have you giggling and enjoying the undeniable chemistry these two had but we’re too damn stubborn to admit to.
The best friends and sibling really turned this into one fun filled read. Enjoy

Great read!
This book had a bit of everything wrapped up in a pretty little bow! Such a fun story to read. I wish there was more of an epilogue just because I wanted a look in the far future but it ended quite nicely all the same!

James and Shell are so H.O.T. you'll need to jump in a cold shower. I loved the dynamic of all the characters in this book. Everyone's personality added some spice.
The situation couldn't have been more hilarious, more steamy, hell even makes you a little anxious at times.
Shell is about to get married to a bore (being polite here) for the security of it. That's not who she wants at all, she wants the playboy, as in her brother's best friend... and what does he want? Well to obey his best friend's wishes and to see that Shell is happy. All the while remembering the mindblowing let's call them past secret encounters Hello inner conflict!
My new favorite in the Billionaire Down Under Series. Sienna Blake and Sarah Willows have done it again!

What a romantic, witty, and passionate affair!
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021
She'll is scheduled to be married to Rupert, who is stuffy, boring, and a cheater. When these two would interact in the book, I cringed. Rupert, is good at putting people down. She'll tries to appease him because she's in love with the idea of being married.
James, is her brother Logan's, best friend. She and James have a naughty past. Readers can tell that these two are crazy about each other, but are guarded. Everytime they have seen each other, they have ended up naked in a closet, bed, villa, etc. When the two wake up handcuffed together, two days before her wedding, they have to piece together how they got there.
I recommend this book! It is sexy, alive, and full of understanding. Bravo

One hilarious page after another, I could not stop turning the pages. Shell is marrying Rupert, a stuck up business man, she really doesn't know why, but she knows that she wants more than James can give her. James is the tried and true man-child. The cast of side characters are all the ones that you have met in the previous books. Lots of very memorable moments, a sarong, descriptions like the Empire State Building, one-man shows, Aunt Tillie, joysticks, eggrolls, conga lines, fireworks and "code orange". A very enjoyable read with a bit of mystery You HAVE to read this book!

I was hooked from start to finish. James and Shell have a forbidden romance, with a bit of intrigue thrown in. It kept me glued to the book till the very end. The chemistry between James and Shell is off the charts. James is her brother's best friend, and on top of that she's engaged to someone else. However, sparks definitely fly between the two of them. They both try and deny it for as long as they can, while also working together to solve a bit of a mystery. As if that wasn't enough to keep it interesting.... they are handcuffed the entire time. Just SO good! Sienna is one of my favorite authors and this is another winner from her. Can't wait to read more!

Each of these Aussie Billionaire Books just get better and better! This dynamic duo writes together seamlessly and the words just meld perfectly.
James and Shell were so cute together, one minute I was laughing, the next I was swooning. All the craziness, all the shenanigans, all the hot, smokin sexy times - and not with the bride and groom, but with the bride and James! I enjoyed the hopping back in time to show the history between James and Shell and the duel POVs. Through all the escapades, this amazing couple did manage to find their HEA and there was an amazing Epilogue, which is my favorite!

I loved this book and finished it in 48 hours! It’s the latest in the series that began with ‘To Have & to Hoax’ and features some of the same characters. James & Shell wake up a couple of days before her wedding (to someone else!) – naked & handcuffed! They have no memory of the night before and a history of steamy encounters that neither of them will admit to meaning more than casual hook-ups. Amusing ‘adventures’ follow as they try to piece together how they got in this state and attempt to find a handcuff key to ‘separate’ them! A great light-hearted read. Read all of these books by the two authors if you get the chance!

Loved this!! Crazy, hilarious, and steamy. The dynamic duo delivers again! Shell is headed to alter, not in love with anything but the idea of love and marriage, to a horrible excuse for a man. Rupert is a cheater and just down right mean human being. She is in love with her brothers friend James. But he is a playboy and doesn’t want to settle down but doesn’t want shell to marry Rupert. The wedding weekend begins with them being handcuffed together and so the crazy begins. So many funny LOL moments. Great character development and chemistry. It felt natural, but also had all the necessary funny and steamy moments.

I LOVE this series!! These billionaire best friends are my favorite! And once again this book is a hit!
Think of the hangover, but instead of looking for the groom the bride is handcuffed to her brothers best friend who she hates. When Shell and Logan wake up 2 days before the wedding, naked with no memory its a race to figure out what happened. While they fight their chemistry and try to find answers, the biggest question is.. should there even be a wedding?
Lots of spice and a great read! Highly recommend!!
I received an ARC and this is my honest review!

I was laughing on the first page. Then I went through all the feels possible as Sienna and Sarah created one of the most original, steamy romantic comedies I’ve read in a very long time. James and Shell hate each other. James has done the love em and leave bit often but he’s sexy and handsome and so easy for Shell to give in to. So she’s marrying the stable, reliable Rupert. Two days before the wedding she’s naked and handcuffed to none other than James. The hilariously woven story to come is one you REALLY wanna read. Five bright and shiny stars!!
June 27, 2021
Oh my word! I was HOOKED right from the prologue! I had to keep reading to see how Shell and James got into the predicament they were in. This book was laugh-out-loud funny, super sexy and I had to force myself to not read it in one sitting! I loved how seamlessly this book jumps back and forth through James and Shell's history. Sienna and Sarah sure know how to keep a reader's interest! What a way to end this series!! Can't wait to see what else they come up with in the future!
June 30, 2021
James and Shell have an unorthodox relationship, but it works for them. Until they are handcuffed together with no recollection of why or how. To work it out, these two have some funny moments together. A great addition to this series!!

This book had me laughing out loud so many times. Shell is supposed to get married in 3 days on a beautiful island that her family runs hotels on. She arrives with her friends and is supposed to have a hen party that night, she promises her fiancé that no shenanigans or anything that could embarrass him or his family will happen.
Fast forward to the next morning as Shell is waking up with a hangover and no recollection of the night before. She goes to move her hand and realizes that it’s handcuffed to a man a very naked man. She starts to freak when she realizes it’s not her fiancé. The man stirs and she now knows it is James her brothers best friend who she has had hot angry sex with in the past. She automatically thinks they have had sex and she has cheated. They try to figure out what happened the night before and to try to find the key to the handcuffs. The hilarious journey that these two go through will keep you flipping the pages. The chemistry between James and Shell is off the charts but James is labeled a manwhore and a flirt but during this escapade he finally realizes that Shell is the one for him. He will try to make Shell see he is serious and convince her not to get married. This is a fun, page turning book that gives you the feels.

Hilarious. Shell is headed to the altar with Rupert but in reality, she loves James, her brother’s best friend. But James is a player and doesn’t want a relationship, he is all about the fling. James finds himself with a dilemma because he realizes he doesn’t want Shell to marry Rupert. As the wedding weekend begins, Shell and James find themselves hand-cuffed together but don’t know what happened and how they ended up together. This leads to so many funny situations as they try to find a key. It also keeps them very close together so will this be what James needs to tell Shell how he really feels? Or will she marry Rupert? I love how the flashbacks were integrated to show us how James and Shell first hooked up. Their chemistry and connection is natural while being sexy and fun which made this the perfect escape. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

Really enjoyed it
I found this book really enjoyable and easy and entertaining ! It was a little bit short and I would have liked to see a little bit more of what happens in the future with the couple but a great read otherwise!

Enjoyable
Funny and sexy with a bit of mystery (who done it?) thrown in for some excitement. It's an easy read, the words just flow, making you chuckle at their antics. A true romantic comedy with just enough spice.

Amazing book
This book grabs you from the first page all the way till the last page. Usually books build up to the couple being handcuffed but this one started out that way. This was the first I've read by these authors and have no added alot to my TBR. This is a must read
