Manwhore. That's what the board of directors—and the tabloids—thinks of billionaire bachelor Reese Crane. Ordinarily he couldn't care less, but his playboy past is preventing the board from naming him CEO of Crane Hotels. Nothing—and no one—will keep him from his life's legacy. They want a settled man to lead the company? Then that's exactly what he'll give them.
          Merina Van Heusen will do anything to get her parents' funky boutique hotel back—even marry cold-as-ice-but-sexy-as-hell Reese Crane. It's a simple business contract—six months of marriage, absolute secrecy, and the Van Heusen is all hers again. But when sparks fly between them, their passion quickly moves from the boardroom to the bedroom. And soon Merina is living her worst nightmare: falling in love with her husband…

THE BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR is available at the following sites: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Google Play, iBooks, IndieBound, and Kobo.

The full Billionaire Bad Boys series will include: THE BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR, #1 (available now); THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR, #2 (soon soon); and THE BASTARD BILLIONAIRE, #3 (coming soon). For more on these tantalizing books, check out the Series Page on Goodreads.

Now Jessica shares her “Top 5 Billionaire Boyfriend Perks.”

I’m so excited to be here! Since my new series, the Billionaire Bad Boys starts with THE BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR, I’ve been tasked with giving you a TOP 5 list of the best Billionaire Boyfriend Perks. I think I can handle that…

Let’s begin.

#5 ~ Like fancy restaurants? Never pay for dinner again with your billionaire boyfriend. My billionaire hero Reese Crane takes Merina Van Heusen to the finest meals in town, including their first date an all-aphrodisiac restaurant. *Yum*

#4 ~ Need to get away? Your billionaire boyfriend owns a jet, a limo, and a hotel building, or in Reese Crane’s case, owns Crane Hotels, a hotel chain.

#3 ~ If you’re into gifts, you can expect some good ones. A diamond ring came standard in The Billionaire Bachelor since Reese proposed a marriage of convenience…

#2 ~ No need to worry about your living arrangements, since your new fiancé will move you into his mansion. Did I mention the house manager who prepares your meals and the house staff who cleans your room?

#1 ~ Late nights are something he’s accustomed to. You can count on your billionaire boyfriend to keep you up… and I don’t mean because he’s talking shop. ;)

Thanks, Jessica. That’s an interesting Top Five list.

Narrator Sasha Dunbrooke’s mannerisms highlights this emotionally charged story. Her cadence is perfect for the highs and lows of the story and adds depth to an already enticing tale. She gives each character their own unique voice.

This is a story where you know how it’s going to end (or at least you think do you). However, the journey to get there is so much fun you don’t want to miss a second of it. The interaction between the two main characters – Reese Crane and Merina Van Heusen – is exciting and sizzling hot.

The author has created likable, realistic characters that are well-developed. The secondary characters enhance the story, while the hotels are characters in themselves. The characters are wealthy, but show a vulnerable side that deals with fears everyone faces.

The steamy romance between Reese and Merina will have you turning up the AC. Some scenes are explicit, but done in a tasteful manner.

A tantalizing tale of love, betrayal and second chances, THE BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR is a hot summer read you won’t soon forget and a great start to a fascinating new series.

  1. It sounds like fun. And bad boys always have charm, even without the bonus of billions...

  3. There's just something about that very wealthy context, isn't there, FictionFan? It makes for a terrific backdrop for a romance. Thanks for sharing.

  4. A billionaire, heh? I see inflation has hit the romance book genre. I remember when a millionaire was sufficient. Good luck with your books.

  5. Do you know how many billionaire bachelors it would take to make Teresa happy? One. That's it. I've never been selfish. :)

    Sounds like a great series.

  6. "It's just as easy to love a rich man as a poor man." Being loved by the man of your dreams--priceless.

    Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Keep your friends close, and your diamonds even closer.

    You no longer have to count your carrots--instead, you'll be counting carats!

    You now have the freedom to be yourself and live life in your own way. You're in charge and living large!!!

    No more "store brand" anything--the high-end companies will be seeking your favor--that means fabulous freebies!!!
