Enemies to lovers is a familiar romance trope and it happens to be one of my favorites. In The Bastard Billionaire author Jessica Lemmon uses this trope to tell a sigh-worthy and sizzling romance.
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?
