Beauty and the Beastly Billionaire . . .
Eli Crane is one tough bastard. After an explosion left him
injured and honorably discharged from the Marines, all he wants is to be left
alone. Yet his brothers insist he take a greater role in the family business.
They've hired him ten personal assistants-and Eli sent each one packing as fast
as possible. But when beautiful number eleven walks through the door, Eli will
do anything to make her stay.
Isabella Sawyer's employment agency can't afford to lose Eli
Crane's business. Her plan: to personally take on the role of his PA, and
secure her reputation with the wealthy elite in Chicago. But this beauty and
her hot billionaire bad boy soon find themselves mixing business with pleasure
in the most delicious ways. And passionate, stubborn Isabella won't rest until
she tames this wicked beast . . .
My Review:
This is the third book in the Billionaire Bad Boys series
and the second that I have read of Jessica Lemmon's. After reading "The
Billionaire Bachelor" I was hooked with the series and ready to read the
rest. So when I had the opportunity to read this new book I jumped at the
chance. Jessica did a great job of creating well developed main characters
whose pasts helped shaped the story from the very first chapter all the way to
the end. In particular for the characters I really enjoyed seeing how Jessica
developed Isabella Sawyer as a strong willed woman who could hold her own both
in a mans and women's world. It is always cool to me to see strong female leads
in stories that I read because it shows to women of all age groups that you can
be strong with and without a man.
In addition to the characters she also did a great job of
setting the scenes in the book. She did a great job of being descriptive enough
for the readers to be able to imagine being in the location but does not go
over board where it makes the story drag on. Another aspect that I liked in
both this book and Jessica's first book in the series that I read was how she
incorporated humor. It was humor that was written in very well to the story and
made sense in the parts that she put it in.
Lastly, it was
interesting to see how Jessica incorporated Eli's injury into the story and how
his attitude truly changed from the start of the book to the end. It was
written very realistic and truthful on how it would take someone injured time
to get accustom to not only their family but a woman.
Can't wait to read more books by Jessica.
