This was not a good book. It was a cheap version of 50 Shades of Grey. It’s not believable at all. I couldn’t finish it.

Why did I buy this? It must have been on sale. I’m pretty sure I was dying to read more stories about sex back when I first read this. The story was about as meh as you can get. It was supposed to be a grand romance, but he was so pushy & arrogant. You will stay with me! My people have gone to your apartment & your roommate has taken all your stuff!! You have no choice!!
It just got old after a while. I am glad they addressed one issue. In a lot of rich guy/poor girl romances, the girl is not like other girls & doesn’t want his money, no! She has to decline all gifts & cry when he buys her something big. (This is when they have been together for some time & she’s still uncomfortable.) I hate to say it, but chickadee you’re rich now too especially if you’re engaged. Well, in this one her friend sits her down & tells her to get over it! She has money now & it’s ok to spend some—we’re not talking Bentleys, she wants a mani/pedi. Plus, it makes her guy happy to do something for her. Suck it up & just be happy you don’t have to live in a dump & work yourself into exhaustion anymore.
I swear, the way these poor people put up such a fight, you’d think they were being tortured. Give the money to charity, buy some clothes that don’t die in the wash. Be happy you’re no longer poor!

I was pleasantly surprised at this book. I don't read much in this genre, and picked this one up for free, and it was delightful. I expected this to be like 50 Shades (which I DNF it was so bad), but it wasn't. Quick, easy read.

Highly recommended
The story was like a refined cliche kind of story, my favourite kind of story to tell you the truth. It's your basic man falls in love with women at first sight and then saves her by providing her shelter and eventually falling in love with her due to her great personality.

I really enjoyed this audio book and I am loving going back to the beginning of the series to catch up on all the swoony alpha heroes I’ve missed out on! While this was originally written as a serial, I loved being able to binge the entire thing at once.
Simon is an alpha in every way. He is determined to take care of Kate in every way possible. His sweet and tender side, had me swooning the whole way through listening. Kate, is arguably just as alpha as Simon and is the perfect match for him. Even though it may be short, you can really feel them falling for each other. I just wanted more time with them!
I can’t wait to dive into Sam’s story! I’ve fallen in love with both him and Maddie in this book and can’t wait to see them navigate their own story.
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

The Billionaire's Obsession by J.S. Scott is book 1 in The Billionaire's Obsession series. It's a good start and very aptly titled. I'm not sure why this is produced as 4 novelllas. I found that to be distracting. I read/listened to the entire book at once so the cliff-hanger was lost on me.
Simon is the billionaire who has an obsession with Kara. Kara is the nursing student who works at his mother's restaurant. Initially it seems that Simon has an unhealthy obsession with Kara. As the story progresses his feelings make sense. Simon's backstory is very difficult to read.
I love the way J.S. Scott's books always introduce us to the next set of main characters and then intertwining them together. When you read these books you really become enveloped in the entire group of characters.
I switch between reading the text and listening to the audiobooks with this series. Both versions are completely enjoyable.

Boring
This book got so many recommendations, especially from a blogger whose opinion I trust. This book to me was boring though. I liked Simon, and I understood his issues. But there was WAY to mich sex. Now normally sex is my favorite part of a story. But it was overdone here, and I didn't find it that hot. I liked how Simon was all caveman, but I hated how Kara was so stubborn. All Simon wanted to do was protect her,, but she kept fighting him. I could understand if he was trying to manipulate her, but I didnt see that happening.
I really skimmed most of the boom, and since it contained an excerpt of Sam's story and I see why he and Maddie are butting heads, I don't feel the need to read the rest of the series.

Gross
I can tell this is an older book by the way it's written . The love interest is a creep that takes advantage of women. He stalked the heroine and then used his power and wealth to gain sexual favors from a vulnerable, scared women. He even said that within the first chapter, he likes her innocent and vulnerable. It's gross and creepy. I understand the appeal of an "alpha" male but this guy is a groomer, and gross. Would not recommend.
