Beauty and the Beastly Billionaire .
. .
Eli Crane is one tough bastard.
After an explosion left him injured and honorably discharged from the Marines,
all he wants is to be left alone. Yet his brothers insist he take a greater
role in the family business. They've hired him ten personal assistants—and Eli
sent each one packing as fast as possible. But when beautiful number eleven
walks through the door, Eli will do anything to make her stay.
Isabella Sawyer's employment agency
can't afford to lose Eli Crane's business. Her plan: to personally take on the
role of his PA, and secure her reputation with the wealthy elite in Chicago.
But this beauty and her hot billionaire bad boy soon find themselves mixing
business with pleasure in the most delicious ways. And passionate, stubborn
Isabella won't rest until she tames this wicked beast . . .
We are back with book 3 of Jessica Lemmon's Billionaire Bad Boy series,
and I think this one is my favorite of all! As it reminds me of a Beauty and
the Beast fairytale, but with a twist!
Eli Crane is different from his brothers, Eli never wanted to follow in
the family footsteps, and rather than take his seat at the families hotel
chains, Eli went into the marines, to serve his country and to have a sense of
fulfilment. But after an attack that caused him injury, but took the lives of
two of his friends, Eli is honorably discharged because of injury; But Eli is
struggling to return to civilian life, and has been taking it out on the
personal assistants, his brother has been sending to him, even after he has
been scaring them off, that is until Isabella Sawyer storms into his life.
When Isa walks through Eli's door, he never expects to have such a
reaction to one of the assistant's that his brother keeps sending to him. But that doesn't stop them from entering
into a no strings affair…that is until their feeling get in the way! But is Eli
to scared to act on what his heart is feeling?
I loved many aspects of this book! From the characters feistiness, to
the amazing story line and writing. The author manages to weave the web of
deliciousness and pain around you, that you truly end up feel at one with the
book! I honestly could go on forever about while this book is so good, but it
basically comes down to the authors storytelling abilities is simply amazing
and you are left desperate for more!
I give The Bastard Billionaire 5 stars!
Standing, she
smoothed her hands down her pants and flipped her hair. She had planned to
quietly finish her work and leave without seeing him again. No such luck. And
no hiding that she was heading his way when her heels clicked along the
concrete floor.
Well.
The kiss had
happened. The button incident had happened. There was no taking it back.
Regardless of how either of them felt about it, she was going to continue working
here. So. She would deal with the here and now.
Since the sun was
shining, Eli’s lair was welcome instead of foreboding. No fire cracked in the
hearth today. Also unlike his usual, he wasn’t at his desk. He was at the printer.
“This yours?” He
offered a sheet of paper.
“Yes.” She couldn’t
keep from explaining. “Pressed the Print button by accident.”
“Mi printer es
su printer.”
Isa accepted the
document and Eli sank his hands into his jeans pockets, his forearms flexing
with the movement.
“I wasn’t—”
“I shouldn’t—” they
said at the same time.
He pursed his lips
and she looked at her shoes. “Go ahead.” She was going to say, I wasn’t
offended when you kissed me, but now that she’d had a millisecond to think
it through, maybe she should pretend the kiss hadn’t happened. Which was . . .
impossible. Standing this close to him, it’s all she could think about.
“I shouldn’t have
ruined your shirt,” he said.
“I dared you to.”
“Why?” His eyebrows
compressed along with his lips.
“Because you have
accepted the role of beast, but I don’t believe that’s who you are.” She let
her gaze linger on his face before tracking down his body. “And because I like
a challenge.”
“Do you?” He took a
wide step toward her.
She matched his
move and took one step closer to him. “Yes. I don’t wilt easily.”
He threaded her
hair between his fingers, a look of longing and hurt mingling in his eyes. “I
was about to lie and say I shouldn’t have kissed you.”
Shivers climbed her
spine as she remembered how firm his lips felt against hers. “Maybe . . . you
shouldn’t have stopped.”
