This is a spoiler-free review! The Scottish Billionaire is currently available for free on iBooks and Kindle.
Oh no, another billionaire romance in the free section, whatever will I do! Download it immediately. If there is one thing in my corner at all times, it is the romance section on iBooks -- I could check it every single day and find something new to download. I already had The Beast downloaded before I found out about The Scottish Billionaire, and I am a sucker for reading things in order, so here we are.
Ella is an injured ballerina basically being strong-armed by her parents into working for billionaire Keiran Greyrose as an au pair while she is on the bench until she is recovered. Her parents are absolute nightmares and basically she her as a pawn in a game rather than a human being with free will. She meets Keiran along with his brother at a gala, and right from the start you can see the tension between them, at lease from Keiran's point of view.
His brother James is insufferable, and ruining for primer minister, so it definitely checks out. We get a pretty good couple chapters of a big ensemble interaction that really nails each character and their personality right off the bat. Then we are thrown right into Keir and Ella's attraction and the smut scenes are well done and just a tiny bit unrealistic, but that is what makes it great to read. Ella is a virgin and is putting on an entire Cirque du Soleil performance for Keir approximately ten minutes after they have known each other.
The way that they argue with one another had me cracking up -- you could clearly tell that they have such big personalities and that it would prove be a problem for them as they find themselves in a major situation. We see them being confronted with multiple issues that will definitely be driving the plot forward in the full-length first installment, which I am excited to see played out.
You can see how much of a problem Ella's father is going to be in their story, especially coupled with the information you learn about his past and what he has done now. Along with the number of other issues Keir and Ella are facing, he may be the least of their worries for now.
If you are looking for an age-gap romance with a touch of action, this is certainly an excellent way to dive in, with similar attributes to Fifty Shades of Grey that readers will appreciate. You can read the novella to get a feel for the series, or go right into The Beast, as it includes this novella in the book.
You can add The Scottish Billionaire and the rest of the series on Goodreads now, and follow the author to stay up to date on releases and publications.
