Eli Crane is an
injured Ex-Marine who wants nothing to do with his family’s business, and has
zero interest in a relationship. Combat
has left him both physically and emotionally injured. He’s built a wall, and it’s safer for him to
stay on his side of the wall and not let anyone in. He’s been down the relationship road before and
it’s left him with nothing but a world of hurt.
Isabella Sawyer is a smart, savvy business woman with a lot to
prove; the only thing
standing in the way of her success is a grumpy, gnarly, Ex-Marine. She’s been pushed around by her family and
taken advantage of in love. She’s gotten
tough and she isn’t about to let Eli Crane sink her business.
When Eli rejects the tenth personal assistant Isabella’s company
has sent – there’s no alternative but for Isabella to set him straight by stepping in and becoming his
personal assistant. Let your
imagination go wild from there - or better yet- buy the book and find out how
the sparks that fly turn into a full on fiery romance.
Jessica Lemmon creates delicious conflict, sexual tension, and
hopeless attraction between a hero and heroine who are both emotionally shut
down. When they finally ignite the passion in each other old walls fall and new
walls are built creating a solid foundation for a relationship. As a reader,
the journey to the HEA is rewarding.
The Bastard Billionaire is the final book in the Billionaire Bad
Boys series and it’s a
treat, but I give it particular props for the strong female lead who can
seemingly navigate any rough terrain.
Who are your all
time favorite heroines?
I don't have a particular favorite but I really enjoy female detectives. Maybe because police work seems like a more masculine profession and its refreshing to see a woman succeed and kick some rear ends in the process.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've read many books with female detectives but I enjoy them on TV so stands to reason I'd probably enjoy them in my books too.
DeleteI like strong women, especially lawyers, cops, small business owners. Women who know what they want and need and aren't afraid to work for it. I also enjoy reading about women who weren't strong but they went through some traumatic event or events that made them pull up their big girl panties and become the women they were meant to be.

DeleteI like this type of heroine too, Nikki.
I love this series by Jessica. She does tend to write some strong female leads. But the guys are just as powerful.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy heroes and heroines who are well matched.
DeleteThanks, Maria! I haven't read Jessica Lemmon yet. I think I need to add her to my list.
ReplyDeleteI love this series and am really into billionaire books lately. Cannot wait to get a copy of this book.
ReplyDeleteAs for favorite heroes - Jack from Virgin River by Robyn Carr, Henry Beck from Hot Under Pressure - Great Series and this finale is the best.
