This review does not contain spoilers for Serving the Billionaire.
Regan has no money, no job, and what appears to be no prospects -- she's just like Charlotte Lucas from Pride and Prejudice. She had to drop out of college and after quitting her job due to being harassed at work, she is on the hunt for employment, and comes across a cocktail waitress flyer in her local bodega and attends the audition at The Silver Cross Club.
She quickly becomes good at her job, slowly working her way up to a heavier workload, when she is told a regular client wants her to serve at his private party. We are thrown into Regan's encounter with him and his guests, along with the requests Carter Sutton asks of her during his party and for future parties.
Carter is our classic tall and mysterious man who just cannot take his eyes off of Regan. He has a very particular taste, and that definitely comes out later in the story. During their encounters at the club, Carter is very clear to Regan about what he wants and introduces her to a world that she never thought that she would be a part of. There are a few moments where the connections he has with high profile people seem unlikely, but his character is put together and respected by those who know him.
This novella reads pretty well -- it is not littered with clichés and progresses at a decent rate that does not leave you questioning how you got from point A to point B. We are able to see Regan's thought process throughout the story and as she continues to encounter Carter on a more daily basis, and see how they begin to affect one another. They of course have their moments where communication is not very clear between them or that one does not seem to understand the other, but they did only just meet days, if not a couple weeks, prior to their relationship actually starting to become something more.
Serving the Billionaire definitely gives off a very similar tone to the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy -- we are introduced to a twenty-something virgin who just so happens to come across and grab the attention of a billionaire, who has an instant attraction to her. There is a balance of smut, angst, and character/relationship building that allows this to be a quick read that readers can enjoy without cringing as they turn the page.
This novella is available for FREE on iBooks and other ebook platforms.
