Billionaire Bad Boys Of Romance Boxed Set (10 Book Bundle) (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
***This box set contains mature themes, as does this review, and is intended for audiences ages 18 and over.***This is my first review about a box set! When I started out reading this I was pleasantly surprised. I guess I thought because it was advertised so cheap on amazon for ten books, that the writing would be bad or the books wouldn’t be good, but that wasn’t the case at all. I was also surprised to find out that I was reading a BDSM erotica bundle. Lol. Guess I should read the synopsis sometimes before I take on a request. But honestly, I thought it was a romance box set. It’s okay though, I’m not anti-erotica. I liked 50 Shades. Anyways, I only read some of the books, so I’ll just do some quick reviews on the ones that I read.—————————————————————————-The Billionaire’s Muse by Ava LoreThis was a great start to the set. I was like, wow, if this is what all the books are going to be like, it’s going to be great!Sadie accidentally breaks a very valuable vase at an auction. This vase belongs to billionaire Malcolm Ward. Sadie agrees to be his muse to pay him back for the vase. Trouble is, Malcolm isn’t really sure what kind of artist he is, so he has to spend a lot of time with Sadie to find out.This one started out great, Sadie is sarcastic and awesome. During the beginning of the auction this thought goes through her head, “Me, I was just hoping for a fist fight to break out.” (location 95/14072 on kindle). Hey, she made me laugh a lot. However, some of the sex scenes were a little weird for me. Paint brushes shouldn’t go certain places. Just saying. And then I felt like the story stretched out a little too long and got a little off course as well.Overall though, it was a good book.—————————————————————————-The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry TowersThe billionaire, Gabriel, wants barista, Beth, to come be his housekeeper and chef. I couldn’t get into this one; I got bored, didn’t finish it and went on to the next.—————————————————————————-Yes, Mr. Collins by Anna AntoniaMr. Collins is so demanding that he doesn’t keep a personal assistant for long, because no one meets his expectations. That is until Natasha works for him. Natasha starts the job so nervous because she knows what Mr. Collins is like. But then, after she is getting physically sick from stress, she decides that she’s going to change her way of thinking and not be nervous anymore, but live up to the challenge.This story was quick and decent. It seemed to be shorter than the others.—————————————————————————-Heidi and the Kaiser by Selena KittHeidi is working in the fashion world, but not as she would like, which would be as a designer. On the job setting up a photo shoot, she spills coffee on billionaire Warren Kaiser’s pants. He spanks her and she likes it. Heidi ends up working for him, and the punishments continue.Yeah, I’m conflicted on this one. It felt like borderline abuse. Heidi liked it but, well, I didn’t! Kaiser seemed so harsh to me, even at the end. What kind of relationship is that, you know? —————————————————————————-Gloria’s Secret by Nelle L’AmourThis is another one I just couldn’t finish. I was bored, I couldn’t get into it. Gloria is the owner of a lingerie company, (you get it right? I hope so!) Anyways here’s a little excerpt that caught my eye."My right eye was blue; my left one brown. I had a rare genetic condition known as heterochromia. In press releases and on the Internet, both eyes appeared to be brown thanks to Photoshop. But because I suffered from dry eye syndrome, I was unable to use contacts to conceal my idiosyncrasy the rest of the time." (location 7058/14072)This is pure silliness! Jane Seymour has different colored eyes, as does Kate Bosworth. They don’t try to hide it and they’re actors not an owner of a lingerie shop! Not only that, but I have one brown eye and one green eye myself so obviously I picked up on this. Gloria must have some real issues for having her eyes photoshopped to be the same color. I don’t know though cause like I said, I didn’t finish the book.—————————————————————————-There are a few more stories that I didn’t list here; I didn’t read all of them. So overall I would say that this is a good box set. Not ‘avoid at all cost.’ Not ‘you need to read this now!’ But good, especially for the cheap prices that amazon tends to list it for.My Rating for the whole set: 3 out of 5 stars~Pam*****I received this book free from one of the authors, Marian Tee, in exchange for an honest review.***** I will be leaving short reviews for all books in this box set as I read themThe Billionaire's Muse by Ava Lore;Artist Sadie MacElroy works as her best friends personal assistant. Getting lost in work every day, Sadie doesn't lead much of a life like she wished she would. Until one night she is working a charity event and meets billionaire Malcolm Ward. Malcolm is well... he is off. Everyone thinks he is crazy, and that doesn't exclude Sadie. Circumstances of the evening bring them together and she finds herself being the model for the newly found artist, Malcolm. The turn of events that happened through the book were unpredictable and twisted. Just goes to show you everyone really does think differently about life billionaire or not. This was a good quick read. I would recommend this book, who doesn't like a crazy billionaire!!! 4 out of 5 stars. The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers;Beth works at a small coffee shop and has her usual daily customers that visit. Gabriel is one of her regulars and catches her on a bad day. So he offers her the job of a lifetime, working for him as his live in maid, chef, and whatever else he wants. She didn't think that included sex. But their attraction and sexual tension just keeps getting stronger until neither of the can deny it. Another good quick read in this series and the scenes are well played out. Nothing like going from broke to living in a mansion with a sexy business man. 4 stars out of 5Yes, Mr. Collins by Anna Antonia writing as Charlotte DeCorte; Natasha worked in the IT dept for her job until Mr. Collins lays an eye on her. Mr. Collins is known as ruthless and goes through secretary's almost on a daily basis. Natasha is a little more than just nervous when her boss tells her she has no choice but to work for Mr. Collins. She is the first one to last more than just a week, and after working for him she thinks things are going ok learning how to deal from day to day. That is until he calls her in his office and expects her to submit completely to him. This was a real short read and in my opinion submits a little to easily for me. But it was a short quick read after all. 3 out of 5 stars. My Rockstar Billionaire by Amy Aday;Belle is on a working trip which she also chooses to use this as her vacation. She runs into Ricky, who is very secretive. He wants to know more about Belle, however anytime Belle asks questions about Ricky's life, he avoids answering them the best that he can. He is clearly hiding something. But we dont get to learn what that is in this story. looks like we have to wait and see for book 2. They have great chemistry and I am curious to see where this will lead. 4 out of 5 starsHeidi and the Kaiser by Selena Kitt;Heidi works in the fashion industry. starting at the bottom of the totem pole to work he way up she is a go-for. She is treated like crap constantly. She is on set at a photo shoot and thught things were going good until she ruins the big boss man Warren Kaiser's suit. Yep it couldnt have been anyone else. Then he has a new job for her and can she comply to this and submit completely?. This was a good bdsm short read story. 3.5 out of 5. I just couldnt adjust completely to how Heidi was treated. Gloria's Secret by Nelle L'Amour;Gloria is a self proclaimed, successful CEO. Gloria has a secret which keeps her on top of her game and never let her guard down. Then she meets Jaime. Who sends all her scents in overtime. She can't keep in control like she is used to. There is a lot of back and forth between them. When Gloria finally does give in. Lets say fireworks, and you wont be disappointed. There is a bit of a cliffhanger at then end that keeps you wanting more. and you will want more! I will have to follow up with part 2. I have to find out what happens!! 4.5 stars out of 5.Make You Mine by Tawny Taylor;Daryl works as a matchmaker, and thinks she has found the perfect client to help secure her position. Until she finds he is hiding something, but what? And next thing she knows he doesn't want to be matched anymore he has found his match. Her!. This book was good. It was all thrown in a short story.I think there could have been more details thrown out there to help us out with some scenes a little more and make the read a little longer to completely grab us in the story. 3 out of 5 starsTrapped into Marriage by Dez Burke;This starts off with Keyonna trying to get out of her military boyfriend. This story comes to be about Nick and Keyonna who has crazy chemistry. So that just helps to play this story of Harlequin romance even better. This was well written and a hot read. It had me drawn to the end. Looking forward to reading more of Dez Burke's work. 4 out of 5 stars.The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire by Marian Tee;I was drawn to this by the title alone (at first). Come on a Greek Billionaire HOT! But unfortunately Mairi wasn't the only one after her Greek billionaire. This isnt just your average story about finding your prince charming. mairi knows what she wants, and she intends to get it. She is enrolled in a Catholic school and is set as an outcast because she doesn't think the same as all the other girls. I liked that in this story and really set it out from other stories about trying to find your "prince Charming". The Art of Trusting a Greek Billionaire is the 2nd installment in this series. Adding to my TBR list. What He Wants by Tawny Taylor;Bristol is left with no choice but to sell the house. She was just leaving when a handsome, well dressed businessman shows up to look at the house. Then it strikes her, does she know this man? She just cant shake the feeling. Shane is a man who gets what he wants. Always. No exceptions, which doesn't fall short of women either. When Shane shows up to look at a piece of property he ends up seeing more than just the house that he wants. Then he finds out just as quick, they already have history. Can Bristol handle what Shane has to offer. This was a short erotic read and was definitely one of the better shorts that i enjoyed through this set. Definitely would recommend checking out this one!After finishing all of this box set I would recommend reading it. With some of the stories just meh for me, (which were mainly the BDSM stories which just aren't for me) to others being great romance, erotic, steamy reads. I say what are you waiting for and go get this boxed set. There's 10 books in here so you will have something to read for at least a week if you read quick like I do!Erica- The Book Nuts
