Review: Escorting the Billionaire, Part 3, Leigh James

Escorting the Billionaire
Part 3 of 3
Leigh James

erotic romance



She's an escort... but is she a sure thing?

High-end escort Audrey Reynolds is determined to protect billionaire James Preston from anything that could hurt him--including her.

Everything changes when James tells her his real feelings.

When James's mother steps in, Audrey has to decide if being with James is worth the risk. She wants to protect him, and James wants to be with her, but can they find a happily ever after together--and in one piece?

Note: This is PART 3 of the Escorting the Billionaire three-part series. This book is novella length (29,000 words).



Review:

So far we've watched Audrey and James fight their feelings for each other, but James finally admits his feelings for her, and he convinces her to stop trying to leave him.

It comes at a perfect time too, because they find out that her mother isn't the only one that's crazy... James' mom shows her true colors when she threatens Audrey.

Together, they put up a united front against all the forces of evil that are trying to keep them apart. I enjoyed the ending, it was a cute happily ever after moment for everyone.  



Review: Escorting the Billionaire, Part 2, Leigh James

Escorting the Billionaire
Part 2 of 3
Leigh James

Erotic Romance



Two weeks is all they have... is it enough?

High-end Escort Audrey Reynolds opened herself up to real feelings for James Preston, the billionaire who hired her. And then he turned on her. Now she's back on assignment and guarding her heart.

All Audrey wants is to finish the assignment; she needs to make enough money to keep her brother safe. That's what she keeps telling herself, anyway.

James is determined to earn back Audrey's trust. When Audrey's mother threatens to expose that her daughter is a prostitute to his family and the press, James takes matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, his own mother is much more difficult to manage. Carefully guarding her family fortune, James's mother is beginning to see Audrey as a real threat to the Preston name.

And she doesn't even know the half of it.

Note: PART 2 of a 3-part series. This book is novella length (30,000 words) and ends in a wicked cliffhanger. Part 3 is available now!



Review:

This book picked up right where the first one left off.

James realizes he may have a heart after all and he freaks out, firing Audrey. She runs back to her crappy apartment trying to figure out how she'll keep her brother in his home without a job!

It doesn't take James long to realize he still needs Audrey for the rest of his two week contract, so he's dragging her back to his apartment in her pj's.

Audrey is terrified, but determined to finish the job so she can set her brother up for a long while. She was already dealing with James' uptight mother, and she didn't count on her crazy mother getting involved as well.

The heat picks up in this book, and Audrey and James can't keep their hands off each other.

Another crazy cliff hanger ends the book and you find yourself needing to know what happens.  


 

Review: Escorting the Billionaire, Part 1, Leigh James

Escorting the Billionaire
part 1 of 3
Leigh James

Erotic Romance



Love don’t cost a thing…except everything.

When billionaire mogul James Preston hires an escort as a date for his brother’s wedding, he knows he’s taking a risk. One thing he won’t be taking? The escort’s clothes off. He just wants a date—not a girlfriend. Not a relationship. No strings. No ties. No games. No sex. He has his reasons. He lost someone he loved, and isn’t interested in trying again. Too many opportunities for mistakes or worse, heartbreak.

Audrey Reynolds became a high-end escort to keep her brother in his expensive group home. James Preston is the client of her dreams—he’s offering to pay her more money for two weeks than she’s ever made before. But James is...difficult. He’s gorgeous, troubled and all too human for Audrey's business-like tastes. Determined to complete her assignment and collect the money, Audrey tries to play by James’s rules. But before she knows what's happening, he's rewriting the contract.

When Audrey ends up in James’s bed, he realizes that she’s everything he’s wanted…and everything he’s been running from.

This is PART ONE of the Escorting the Billionaire New Adult romance trilogy. It is novella-length (30,000 words) and has a wicked cliffhanger.



Review:

I was hoping for a quick read to break up a long series I've been reading, but I picked the wrong book for that!! I was hooked a few pages in, and before I knew it I was finishing the third book!

I was expecting this to be like all the other billionaire books, a quick read that's interesting at the time, but not memorable. I was pleasantly surprise to find it had a slightly different twist to it and some real world problems! It reminded me of Pretty Woman.

I really enjoyed the story and found myself invested in the characters.

There's also a crazy cliff hanger at the end... it had me downloading the second book at midnight!

Review: Hard Hand (Full Tilt Billionaire #3) Jessa Jacobs

Hard Hand
Full Tilt Billionaire
book 3
Jessa Jacobs

Erotic Romance
Serial Series




I had made a deal with the Devil.

This particular devil was Billionaire Marc Andretti, former pro poker champion, my dream lover, and as I discovered the hard way, someone who took orders from the Mob.

I'd had enough of his secrets and lies.

So why couldn't I get enough of HIM?


 

Hard Hand is Part Three of the Full Tilt Billionaire serial. It is not a standalone. Expect a cliffhanger!



Review

Hard Hand is the third part in a five part serial.

In this book we dig into the lives of Tara and Marc. Now that she's moved in and they've given into temptation we start to see something blossom, even if they try to ignore it. They act like a regular couple, but still treat it as a business deal.

When they travel to the first World Series of Poker entry tournament, all the things Marc has been keeping from Tara come out in a terrifying way! He's forced to open up to her, or lose her forever!

The action picks up in this book, on and off the poker table!

So far, this has been my favorite book in the series - and more than ever I can't wait for the next book!

It was a deal I couldn’t resist.

Billionaire Marc Andretti, former pro poker champion, picked me to mentor for the pro Texas Hold’em tour, and I was supposed to make enough money to pay off my student loans.

So why am I worried? Well, for one thing, I’m finding it hard to keep my hands off him.

Something’s got to give, and I hope it won’t be my self-control…





Upping His Ante is Part Two of Full Tilt Billionare, a Billionaire Erotic Romance novella presented in serial format. It is not a standalone.

Expect a cliffhanger!



Review

Upping His Ante is the second part in a 5 part serial series.

In this book we go further into the minds of Tara and Marc as he continues to train her in the art of poker playing. You can almost feel the sexual tension between them, both wanting more but worrying it will ruin their business deal.

Finally, after winning some smaller tournaments, Tara's earned enough to pay off her student loans, and she decides she just can't take it anymore. She can't be around the gorgeous man she craves and continue to ignore the lust - so she runs. She packed up her stuff and heads out in the middle of the night. Marc is much smarter than she gives him credit for though, and he's waiting for her.

This book is well written with smooth transitions and filled with sexual tension, lots of poker playing, and some comical scenes to keep it interesting.

I'm looking forward to continuing the series.

Tara:

"I was minding my own business, using my skill to win enough money at the blackjack tables to pay off my student debt, when I noticed someone else was minding my business, too.

He was hot, he looked ultra-rich, and he had no reason to notice me. So why was he stalking me from table to table? I thought I might be in trouble for winning too much.

I had no idea how much trouble it would turn out to be."



Sinful Deal is Part One of Full Tilt Billionare, a Billionaire Erotic Romance novella presented in serial format. It is not a standalone.

Expect a cliffhanger!



Review

Sinful Deal is part one in a 5 part serial series.

We are introduced to Tara as she travels from table to table in the casino actually beating the odds
and winning some serious cash. Marcus, a security specialist takes notice and begins watching her, studying her every move in hopes of figuring her out. When he can't, he offers her a deal that will change her life.

I was left intrigued and wanting more! I couldn't believe the book was over when I got to the last page, I even checked twice to make sure I didn't skip anything!

This book was a great start to the story, and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. 


 

Review: Northern Bites (Auror Sky: Vampire Hunter #2) Nikki Jefford

Northern Bites
Aurora Sky: Vampire Hunter
book 2
Nikki Jefford

YA Mature / New Adult

High School setting with 18+ characters, some sexual situations and violence 



Love bites.
Probation sucks.

Thanks to Dante’s recklessness, Aurora is now partners with Valerie: the redheaded, backstabbing vixen.

Dante is in full flirt mode. Fane’s tactics are more ruthless. Something carnal has awakened in Aurora and neither boy is helping tame her cravings.

When a member of the unit’s team is found dead, Aurora and Valerie are sent after a vampire in Sitka, but Aurora suspects the killer’s much closer to home.



Review

I'm loving this series so far!

Northern Bites, the second book in the series, is definitely action packed!

After one of their team members is found dead, Aurora is paired with her arch nemesis, Valerie, for an out of town mission with a new team leader, Jared. Dante is sent back to Fairbanks with Noel in tow for a top secret mission of their own.

Once back in town Aurora finds herself at one of Marcus' parties in hopes of running into Fane, but she finds herself in some trouble!

Add to that her parents marital troubles and Grandmother coming back to town and having to lie to keep her secret life in the dark, she's overcome with her situation and just read to get out of Alaska!

I can't wait to read the next book in the series! 



What makes it even better, I'll be visiting quite a few of the places mentioned in the books this coming summer when we travel to Alaska on vacation. I can't wait!

It seems as if the universe has conspired to keep Grey and me apart.

With no end to the tragedies we've faced, I wonder if there's any hope left.

Worse yet, I've made my feelings for him clear when I confessed my love. I'd do anything to be with him, if only he felt the same.

Will we make it?





 
Review

** spoiler alert **  

I really enjoyed this serial.

From beginning to end it kept you in suspense, wanting to know what was going to happen. Would they make it? Will they be able to move past their issues?

It was a pleasant ending to the series with a Happily Ever After. We found closure with most of the characters, and I especially found satisfaction in Trevor's turn of events. Katy surprised me and finally acted like the best friend she's supposed to be.

The only thing that got me was how drastically Grey seemed to change in such a short amount of time... I mean, he went from not understanding Love as Katy tried to explain it, to all of a sudden being this super romantic guy that has a surprise up every sleeve for the love of his life.

All in all it was a great quick read and I'd recommend the series to anyone looking for a quick story to read between lengthier novels or for travel. this would be perfect for a flight or train ride!
