How to Seduce a Billionaire by Portia Da Costa




Stars: ★★★★★
Buy from Amazon


General info 

Jess and Ellis meet accidentally in the pouring rain. This starts a fling they both think will only last a few moments. They face their ups and downs whilst also trying to fight falling in love. 

Things I liked 

I absolutely love the idea of the story. I just wish my Dream Lover would show up and whisk me away. The story never gets boring and I was hooked until the end. I certainly hoped that Jess and Ellis would get their happy ending. They really deserve it.
I also love the characters. Jess is a 29-year old virgin, which on its own is unusual. She is a woman who has put everything on hold to take care of her nan and now that she is gone, is still trying to find her way back to her life. 
Ellis has lost everything important to him. He’s a kind man, he’s not too domineering or forceful. He’s a lovely man altogether but he cannot get over his dead family. Let’s just say he is very different from the typical billionaire characters and I really liked that. 

Conclusion

As a whole, I really truly love this book. It is a beautiful story with a happy ending and I’m so happy that I found this book and got to enjoy it. The story is beautiful and I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

Your soul was made for mine by C.L. Hunter




 First off I'd like to say that I absolutely adore this book. I believe it will be one of those books that I will read again and again.

When I started this book, I had certain expectations because on the book description, it is mentioned that this is a good book for fans of Fifty Shades of Grey. Because of those expectations I was a bit confused in the beginning because it was nothing like Fifty Shades and as a huge fan of Fifty Shades, I was a bit disappointed. Somehow the book had a grip on me however, so I kept going. And it was worth it.
I now see the similarities between this book and the Fifty Shades series but still they are completely different.
The plot in this book is marvelous and mysterious and beautiful. I like how none of the problems the characters face have to do with their relationship. It always goes strong and you truly get the feeling that they are made for each other. There are also some major plot twists and that ensures that you never get bored. I literally did not want to put the book down, it was just so beautiful.
The characters, especially Nolan and Emmalyn, are both complicated truly interesting. They deserve their happy ending. And I truly could not be happier for them.
Additionally, I liked how religion, their beliefs and and faith was also brought into this book. I'm not big on religion myself but I think it truly belong in this book and it somehow made this book better.
And when it comes to the similarities between this book and Fifty Shades of Grey series, I think the relationship between the main characters is similar to each other, but this book is not as focused on the erotic bit. I mean there is a lot of sex, and it belongs in this book but from the very beginning, the relationship between Emmalyn and Nolan was about so much more than just sex. In fact, love was there before they ever had sex and that is one of my favorite bits about this book.
This is and will be one of my all time favorite books and I can't wait to read more and to read the stories of the other characters of this book.

Billionaire's Princess by Claire Adams









I'm a huge fan of the author and of this Billionaire series. This book was great as well and it was a bit different from yout usual billionaire novels. 
The main characters, Ariana, a runaway princess, and Nicholas, a billionaire who's tired of being a billionaire, are not the typical characters in these types of novels. I found this to be really refreshing. The characters also really fit well together, as they are, in some ways, very similar to each other but still different. Also, as I said, the characters are really interesting as individuals. There's Ariana, who is running away from her castle and away from a fiancee who is years and years older than her. And then, there is Nicholas, who is tired of being a billionaire, who just wants to live a normal, quite life. And together, they have passion.
The plot of the book is interesting as well and it doesn't get boring. There is always something happening, whether it is the characters being together or the other being kidnapped. Also, the plot isn't straightforward, straight to the happy ending kind of thing. The characters face a lot of hardship, until they get their happy ending and for me, that is important. There wasn't really a chance for me to loose interest. 
In conclusion, this book is great, I still really love Claire Adams' work and I can't wait to read more of her novels.

Bought by the billionaire brothers (The bundle) by Alexx Andria



First off, I bought this book after I had read the sample book and the first two chapters sounded interesting. 
There's basically four main characters, three of them at first and three of the four are brothers as well. At first all the characters sounded quite interesting and even though Penny was a bit naive, I like her. However, a bit further into the book, the brothers turned out to be quite mean and very simple in the way they treated Penny. Then there's the third brother who, at first seems to be villain of the book, but turns out to be the good guy. In a way all the characters could have been a bit more developed.
Moving on to the plot of the book. Like I have already mentioned, I read the first two chapters before purchasing this book and the those chapters really arose my interest in the book. It sounded like a good book. Then, further in the book, it changed for the worse and the plot was alright but it didn't quite fill my expectations. The drama was just a bit unfitting in a way. And even though I enjoyed most of the book, there is still some bits that I absolutely despised. 
The book ends in a way that I was not quite expecting but it was a good ending still and it was worth to read.

Unleashed by Kathryn Taylor


This book is the ending to Jonathan Huntington and Grace Lawson's story. However, it is not a full-lenght novel like I was hoping for, and it is basically only the missing epilogue from the second book in the trilogy. I did however, enjoy reading this a lot. It was so great to know how things went and that they indeed got the happy ending they deserved. I could have read more about them, and I would have happily read a full-lenght novel but I take what I can get. All in all, this book was great but because I hoped for a longer story this one fill get four stars.

Uncovered by Kathryn Taylor




 This book is the second novel in the Colours of Love series. In it, the story of Jonathan Huntington and Grace Lawson continues.
I personally feel that this was a bit better than the first book because it is not about just sex anymore but rather the relationship between Jonathan and Grace continues to grow and there are real feelings involved here. Of course, as in any story, things can't just be diamonds and roses and they do face a number of obstacles but it does make the story what it is and it makes it feel more real. Another thing that makes this book better than the first novel is the amount of feelings that it made me feel as a reader. It made me feel sad and happy and excited and nervous and to me that is what makes a book good. And the cherry on top, was the ending that just made me super-duper happy!

Unbound by Kathryn Taylor

This book is the first installment in the colors of love series. It tells the story of Grace Lawson and Jonathan Huntington, a wealthy business owner. In a way, it’s a bit similar to the Fifty Shades of Grey series but still so much different.
The characters are complex and for example, Jonathan is still a huge mystery even at the end of the book and it leaves the reader wondering about a lot of things, both about the character and about the story itself and the future of the main characters’ relationship.
Additionally, I really enjoyed the physical chemistry and attraction Grace and Jonathan have for each other. It makes the book so much more enjoyable and easier to read.
As a huge fan of the fifty shades of grey series, I fell in love with the colors of love as well. I couldn’t put the book down before the very and even then I had to start reading the next book in the series straight away, the ending was that good and I had to keep on reading about their love story. All in all, this book was perfect and I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
