Imagine the possibilities and I’m not even talking about the
financial benefits. A billionaire like Reese Crane is a catch even when he
doesn’t want to be caught. He’s gorgeous and complicated so it should make
sense for Merina Van Heusen to be thrilled when he offers her the position in
exchange for her family's hotel. She, however, is not interested in his offer
until she realizes what she has to lose. Jessica Lemmon’s The Billionaire
Bachelor shares the story of Reese and Merina relationship.
The Good
Reese and Merina are hot together! Their chemistry leaps off
of the page as they trade barbs and get to know one another. Both characters
find their marriage difficult despite the deal. They end up falling for each
despite a disastrous start. Readers get a chance to really understand Merina
and Reese who have real scars because of their previous relationships.
Another thing I loved was Merina and her best friend’s
relationship. Her beautiful successful
best friend understands how imperfect life is as she navigates a renewed
relationship with her ex-husband. It was great to see a story crafted in a
real-world reality despite the obvious fairy tale concept.
The Not So Good
I don't understand how a 30-year-old woman who is supposed
to be really good at her job still lives with your parents. That isn't normal
but does support what we understand about Merina. She hasn't grown up because
of a traumatic romantic experience. Her relationship with Reese helps her grow
up. My only other complaint is that I wish we had spent more time with Reese's
family to understand a bit more about his relationship with them. Readers gain
some insight eventually but I had some questions I wished were answered a bit
sooner. Its likely readers find out more about the family in later books.
I’m hooked! First, I’m a sucker for a billionaire romance.
Second, I loved how each character was able to shine and grow despite dealing
with real issues that could separate the couple. They were able to overcome all
obstacles even when those issues were internal. I’m ready for the next book in
the series.
