This is a really, really short read (it's a novella, duh) which didn't even take that long to finish. In fact, I am well over half of the last installment in the series.
Anyhow, I think Her First Billionaire is the kind of book where everything is too good to be true. We have the ever luscious Laura who snagged herself a billionaire on a dating site. Actually, I don't need to sum up the plot because everything is in the summary itself. All you have to do is read, and anticipate how it goes. The ending didn't even come as a surprise because I had read the synopsis of the whole series (LOL).
The story is full of sexy scenes, I admit, but it is also a bit humorous, which made it bearable because things got a little too hot the moment Laura finally meet up with Dylan.
There wasn't much to say for this novella, but I did enjoy it. So 4 stars for Her First Billionaire

Great book
Love Julia Kent's book. Story line is intriguing one girl and two guys wish I had a hot firefighter. Must read the whole Series.

So this book was okay but it was a novella and the rest in the series are too and too expensive for me to get if they are only 70 pages.

I bought this book as a free book on amazon on 7 June 2013.
Thinking that I should read some of the thousand plus books I downloaded, this was one of the first ones I read.
Based on the description of the book, I thought it would be somewhat funny. After all, you have Laura, a full-figured woman who is seemingly secure in her body searching online for a date. Can she find him?
Little did I look and realise it is a novella, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I think had it been more fleshed out it could possibly be better.
Not only did I not find it amusing at all. But I find it hard to believe that Dylan, would be instantly attracted to her. That's not to say that she's not attractive but that despite him having gone on previous dates that didn't go well (only description is the "jersey shore" types) why would he be instantly attracted to her. Nothing in his history that we've been told suggests that he finds full-figured women as attractive as their more slender counterparts.
For a novella, I did enjoy this novel, however I didn't enjoy it enough to want to pay for the second installment in this series. Had it been better fleshed out in some areas I would certainly give it more than 2 stars.
NB: There are a couple of typos in the copy I read.

I need to stop being enticed by the word ‘free’. Whilst free is not a synonym of bad, if I had read the reviews I would not have been so disappointed by what I was reading.
Honestly, I’m not sure what to write in this review. There really wasn’t much to the story. I understand that it is the first of many parts – and it does set up for the rest of the story – but outside of that, I cannot think of anything.
I didn’t particularly enjoy any of the characters. The self-deprecating ways of the main character were totally at odds with her behaviour. She was a bunch of clichés that exist to make women feel as though they can get any man they want. Our male was another cliché. He lacked in any real substance. There was the possibility of some real story in regards to where the money came from… yet that was pushed aside so that we could focus upon the down and dirty.
All in all, this highlighted how I should read reviews rather than clicking the buy button when I see the word free. At least it was only a handful of pages (even if it did feel like much more, my eyes constantly drifting to the percentage read and asking how I wasn’t closer to the end).
