Wicked Billionaire by Sawyer Bennett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Bennett saved the best for last. Wicked Billionaire is brash, sensual, acerbic and unpredictable. Declan can be a little hard to take, but the thrill comes from waiting to see what he'll do next. In Bailey he meets his match. A tough cookie with the smart mouth to back it up. I had the chance to listen to Leigh and Greenfield bring Bailey and Declan to life and the experience is electric. A firecracker.

Synopsis:
As the prince of a luxury hotel empire, I am as close to American royalty as one can get. I grew up accustomed to a certain lifestyle. One where people give me what I desire and anything, or anyone, else can be bought. Everyone wants a piece of me, yet no one is actually deserving of my time. That changes when Bailey Robbins, the smoking hot housekeeper in one of my hotels, catches my attention. Sure, she has curves for days but it’s her smart mouth I can’t help but be intrigued by. I may have avoided relationships all my life, but something about her makes me want to introduce her to my world. The darker, wicked side of Declan Blackwood.

This is book #2, in the Tate Brothers series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading this amazing series in order.
Lucas wants to keep Grace safe. If there is anyone who can do this, he can. Since they already have a history of tragedy between them he feels it prudent to keep his distance from her emotionally.
Grace knows that Lucas the means and training to keep her safe physically. What about her heart? She has already known tragedy and loss. Is it wise to find herself attracted to the same type of man again?
This book moves at a fast pace. I like the growing tension and how it is laid out. The characters clash and the temperature rises. Makes for a sexy slow burn, but they belong together. I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Lucas is a Navy SEAL sniper that relies on the focus and control that is needed to do his job. Always applying it in every way possible. So much so that he never feels anything too strongly. Grace is the widow of a deceased member of Lucas SEAL team. Grace spots Lucas and calls him on protecting her. A sexy tale that has both pushing their boundaries and changing what they know.
Every time I think, no more billionaire stories, along comes one that is so well done I have to eat my words. The Wicked Billionaire by Jackie Ashenden is one of those eat your words books. Ms Ashenden has given us a book that is well-written. The characters in this book are absolutely phenomenal. A perfect fit for this book. Lucas and Grace's story is loaded with suspense, humor, drama and smokin' hot sexy bits. This book hooked me at page one and kept me wrapped up in it till the last page. I loved The Wicked Billionaire and look forward to reading more from Jackie Ashenden in the future. The Wicked Billionaire is book 2 of the Tate Brothers Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I voluntarily read an Advance Reader Copy of this book that I received from NetGalley.
