This is part of the Billionaire Series but can be read as a standalone. This romantic suspense is hard to put down once you start reading. No shortage of drama or suspense. Secrets to keep you guessing. This was a great book with a secret baby theme. She was pregnant and left without a word because she thought he was involved with the mafia. But was he? What happens when the mafia comes calling? What happens when he finds out that he is the father of her son? Poppy and Chris will take you on an emotional roller coaster but one that ends with an HEA. No cliffhanger. I read an arc via Bad Boy Updates and voluntarily chose to review it.

While the “secret baby” aspect has been done quite a lot lately, this book has an additional element of mob involvement that sets it apart. Poppy is a strong character and a bit intriguing but Chris is a bit weak in my opinion. However he is a sensible and efficient billionaire. Without giving any spoilers - it doesn’t make much sense until near the end of the book. Overall it’s a good read that has some intense key moments. The epilogues are quite good, so worth it to get to the ending. . I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review

This could have been an OK romance, but it irritated me that the couple's problems could have been solved if they had just talked to each other. For that reason, it gets 2.5 stars from me, rounded up to 3 stars.
Chris was fine, but he should have told Poppy about how he was working to help the police. Because he didn't, she assumed he was laundering money for organized crime -- which was incorrect. I get that she was afraid to confront him, since it could be dangerous. But, if she had known what he was doing, that problem would not have occurred at all.
There were also a lot of editing problems. There were many misspelled or misused words, and some plot inconsistencies. They were all mistakes that a good editor should have caught.
I also thought the sex scenes in this book were way too explicit. I'm not a prude, and I enjoy a good sex scene -- but I don't like it when they are extremely explicit, to the point of being a bit disgusting. I want to read about lovemaking between a couple, not explicit sexual escapades -- because those are not romantic at all.
My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.

Held My Interest…
Interesting storyline that the author created involving Chris, the billionaire involved with organized crime. To what end he’s involved we don’t know and neither does Poppy, his girlfriend of six months who leaves when she gets wind of this entanglement instead of confronting him. What effect does this have is the basis for the continuation of the story and how the deal with what the passing of time has resulted in.
Overall a good story that was laid out well thereby enabling the story to flow nicely from chapter to chapter. The sex is steamy which is an added bonus if you like your clothes melted off when reading those scenes ;)
I’m recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure.
PEACE.

Poppy though that she would have the perfect future with Chris. Then one day she overhears him talking to some bad guys. Poppy quietly packs her things and disappears before she could reveal her secret to him. Now a few years later Chris is back in her life as her new boss, and she doesn't know what to expect. Chris is stunned when he runs into Poppy again but sees this as a chance to find out why she disappeared on him and maybe get a second chance with her. However, nothing goes as planned and they both end up in danger. Will they get another chance to be together? Will the bad guys be dealt with?
This is an amazing book that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover..

Poppy and Chris had the perfect relationship, or so she thought until that one night that changed everything. Now four years later she has a job she likes that lets her take care of her son and keep his safe, and that's enough for now. Things are great until she finds out her firm has been bought out by none other than Chris. The chemistry is still there, but she has kept a secret for four years and can't bring herself to approach him. She ran and never told him why, but now as their attraction grows again the old fear is back and now she must decide whether to trust him with her truth. Things are not always what they seem and when the danger becomes all to real Chris must decide what is most important in his life. Loved this! I received this ARC from Bad Boy Updates.

Poppy was preparing a special meal when she went out to the garden and saw Chris her partner in the garage with the head of the mob family. Poppy went inside packed up and left. She got as far away as she could then three years later Chris bought the law firm and she was recommended to be his liaison person. When they meet Poppy realises that she still has feelings for him. She accepts the job even though Chris wasn’t going to take no for an answer. This book has everything love, intriguing, hurt and more. I received an ARC for an honest review which I have given

Quite nice
I understood the protagonist's dilemma when she stopped cooking a celebratory meal halfway, packed and ran, after hearing her boyfriend talking in the garage to the mob boss. As a lawyer, she was horrified to hear her boyfriend talking about money-laundering.
After all, she had just discovered she was pregnant!
I do not want to spoil a good story, so will only mention in passing that while the love betwwen a married couple is very beautiful, the explicit erotica at the end was not a little sleazy, in all its forms, which is why I gave three stars.

Laura Olsen did a good job on this story, Mr. Billionaire's Secret Baby had a strong plot, Poppy and Chris were good characters, their path was a bit bumpy but they were meant for each other, the connection they had was strong, so wasn't their chemistry, they were good together.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, Laura Olsen. Good work :)

Ok, so not a fan of secret baby tropes.
This one has a bit more plausibility, which sends Poppy running and hiding. Until Chris is her new boss (think I would have preferred for him to have actually looking for her).
Plenty of steam but is he a good guy?

This story was a little odd. Poppy overhears Chris talking to a mobster and misunderstands what is going on. She runs away and has her unborn child. She gets a job where Chris turns out to be the new owner. She gets involved with Chris again and realizes the mobster is still in the picture. I found that 1. she never asks him why is involved with mobster and 2. Chris never asks her about her son, if it's his child.

If you are looking for a book that literally grabs your attention
and keeps it to the very last word than I highly recommend this read.
There’s plenty of drama suspense romance and twists in it.
not everything is as it seems.

I enjoyed Poppy and Chris story. I loved the idea of a second chance. I thought it was well written and had a great story line. The way that they tried to ignore the pull was cute. The love was great in the story and overall cute read.
