Quick Summary: A love after loss, tug-of-war romance
My Review: Billionaire's Island Temptation by Rachael Stewart was a romance that brought together two grieving souls who were looking to heal from troubling pasts. The story was emo-rich and unpredictable. Ultimately, the insta-romance between Joel and Jessie brought clarity and resolution on many fronts.
My Final Say: Readers who enjoy comeback stories will like this one.

Jessie and Joel are both running from grief when a storm traps them together on a tropical island. They're instantly attracted, but are they too damaged to fall in love?
This is an enjoyable, emotional romance in a luxurious setting. I liked the flirtation between Jessie and Joel and how the chemistry between them develops.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

It's always a treat to pick up and read a novel by a favourite author and this is no exception.
Billionaire's Island Temptation is the first book in the Billionaires for the Rose Sisters duet, and it is a seductive and steamy romance novel that will leave you craving for more.
The narrative revolves around Jessie Rose, a young woman who is looking for an escape from her stressful life, after the break-up of her relationship with Adam, and the death of her mum. Then there's billionaire Joel Austin, a brooding and enigmatic man who is not looking for anything permanent because he's avoiding all relationships. When their paths unexpectedly cross, both throw caution to the wind, as heady feelings of temptation and lust overwhelm them. The chemistry between Jessie and Joel is undeniable from the start, and their fling on the tropical island of Mustique is both thrilling and dangerous. Despite their mutual attraction, both characters have their own demons and baggage that they must confront and overcome if they want their relationship to develop into something more… which they don't, do they?
I love this coupling. Jessie and Joel come from differing backgrounds but share heartbreaking experiences. Interestingly, they both may be far from their loved ones, however, this doesn't mean the ones "at home" don't know what is happening thousands of miles away. Therefore, it's easy to understand how the loved-up couple wants to be left alone...they are consenting adults after all!
Oh, this is another fabulously sexy novel by Ms. Stewart. As I've come to expect, her writing style is captivating and sensual, and once again, she has created two complex and relatable characters in Jessie and Joel. The setting of the tropical island adds a dreamy and romantic backdrop to the story, making it the perfect beach read.
Overall, Billionaire's Island Temptation is a delightful and engaging romance novel that will leave you eagerly anticipating the second book. There's more than a subtle hint about who will be in the spotlight in the next instalment and I know I can't wait to read about their story too.

And the Queen of romance does it again with a belter of a book.
I am a huge fan of Rachaels books, there has never been a single one I've not loved and adored.
She has an incredible talent of transporting you into the pages. I could see Jessie's villa, the food she was served, the views and I felt her pain.
I can't wait to read Book 2 in this series, looking forward to what happens next.
