A BWWM Billionaire Romance Story

What would you do if a billionaire showed up at your doorstep, even if his life was worlds apart from yours? With romance on the table, how do you separate genuine affection from your own material needs?

Adalia is faced with that exact dilemma and the choice she makes isn't easy.

***Due to sexually graphic content and language that some may find offensive, this book is intended for mature readers only***

Adalia Montclair is too proud to accept help from the billionaire playboy, Trent Dawson. How long can she maintain her resolve?

She has never taken a hand out in her life. She’s worked her way up and is a not-so-successful business owner following her dream of running her own bakery. Everything is going just fine, until sexy white billionaire, Trent Dawson, appears on the scene to woo her with his money, charm and blatant disregard for her insistence that she doesn’t need a man to help her.

Adalia is torn between falling for a clear playboy and trusting him enough to let him into her life – a fate she couldn’t possibly envision after the pain of her last break up. She’s determined to focus on the business, but the bank’s insistent calls about her loan repayments give her cause for weakness. She needs help on this one, and there’s only one guy with the power, and the will, to step up to the challenge.

But a surprise visit throws everything into disarray when Trent shows the side of himself she’d feared he possessed all along.

I wasn’t sure which direction this book was headed in at first but the storyline came around. I’m ready for part 2.

I know she had her heart broken and she was afraid to trust again but come on. She was dealing with a pot head, a broke scrub at that. He brought nothing to the table. So when Trent came along she wanted to paint them with the same brush, not a good idea. She truly got on my nerves in this book but I will she what the next one holds for them.

Adalia wants to be a tough cookie, but she is not. Why does she out up with her ex Deshawn? Familiarity is not love. The ex is no good.

Trent is a bold alpha male. He sees what he wants and goes for it. My kind of man.

These two need to come together and got insignificant people (Michelle) out of their lives.

Can wait to read book 2.

Bad, crude disrespectful stereotypes and no ability to write

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2022

Really bad scenes. Skips plot points. Sex scenes really average. Buildup makes isn't linear. Antagonist storyline is most frustrating. Him saying he loves main character makes has no evidence. Bad inappropriate ex description and dumb assumption a reader wd pay.

Listen, I never want to bash an author starting out and I firmly believe everyone has potential. That being said, this was honestly a mess. No real connection here and the characters were hardly developed. Plot is jumpy and forced. Also, I do not care if a white man looks like Captain America. It is unacceptable for him to refer to any black person as ‘ghetto’. I almost dropped the book at that because I was completely out of it. Stories like this are meant to be fun. Unfortunately it was anything but. Back to the drawing board.

A sort of OK romance

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

Only the first part of this story. I am not fond of serialized stories in the first place. As for the story itself, I was put off by the mercurial emotions of the heroine, her hair trigger temper and her penchant for being judgmental. Not my kind of person. The hero was sharp with her and demanding, and while I realize many women find that exciting, in this case I felt he just rolled over her feelings in his determination to have a relationship with her. He was clueless about his assistant and her manipulations, so that his efforts to seduce the heroine were short circuited. Messy, messy. I know life and relationships are messy, but this was borderline exhausting. I did not get the next book in the series for that reason. This may be a satisfying book for some, but I'm afraid I am not one of those readers.

She loved and breathed her bakery and he wanted her. She lost her bakery and thought he was having sex with his assistant. The poor girl thought she lost it all

Adalia is doing her best to make a go of her pastry shop

Reviewed in Canada on July 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book has a lot going on in it, but it's captivating and the characters will keep you on edge throughout. Adalia is doing her best to make a go of her pastry shop, but it would seem that her best just doesn't cut it, and this makes her mad. The only problem is she always seems to direct her anger where it doesn't belong. Being angry and disappointed in herself, even though she's done the best she could with what she has had, doesn't help, and when Trent shows up seeming to like her, her anger tends to boil over onto him. But he's determined to have her, even when her ex shows up and interrupts. And lets not forget his assistant, the interfering Michelle Van Heerden. Will they ever manage to put the loosers behind them and make a go of a relationship that deep down, they both want?
Well written with lots of passion, you won't be able to put it down. But keep in mind, this is a series and book one is a major cliff hanger.

First book, hopefully of many

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2017

The first book completed on my new Kindle, so one I shall remember. Its been ages since I last read a book and as a guy fascinated by interracial relationships this one stood out to me. The characters are portrayed well and its good to hear it from the female perspective. There is certainly room for the characters to evolve over time and it made for easy reading with just the right amount of erotic moments. Looking forward to book 2

I was drawn in at the beginning and I tried to hold on. But more than halfway through the book..... it still wasn't going anywhere. It was like the story and its main characters were stuck going around in circles. i had to stop reading
