Billionaire in her bed was the first book i had read by Regina Kyle and it will definitely not be the last!! i totally enjoyed this book and look forward to further books by Regina!!
Light, short and to the point billionaire romance. An enjoyable read by Kyle. Well developed enjoyable secondary characters.
It was a book of mistaken identities. Both Eli and Brooke have secrets about their backgrounds that they would rather not get out. This leads to misunderstandings on both sides.
It is a fun read.
I have read so many books like this it was hard to enjoy this storyline as it was so close to others i read.
The Billionaire in Her Bed was a quick and fun read. I really enjoyed Brooke and Eli's chemistry and banter. The secondary characters were also awesome, making this an all around enjoyable read.
What can I say? It’s another Indulgence which is my crack of choice in reading. I won’t bore you with my love for the line or the tropes that are associated with it. But I will have to say that this is one of the better Indulgence books that I’ve read in a while. Why do I say this? Because this book deals with two people that not only have secrets about themselves but also the impact of real estate developers buying properties and then displacing the current residents. Ms. Kyle doesn’t preach about it but the way that she tells the show is how much I loved this book.
Ms. Kyle not only incorporates how Eli comes to live at the building where Brooke lives but how the residents at the building slowly become his friends. Doesn’t hurt that Eli and Brooke get to spend a lot of time together getting to know each other and have unlimited smexy times but Ms. Kyle has some of the best secondary characters that I’ve read in some time. Between David & Chris, Charise and the baby and the Feingolds, you get the sense of community right from the start and I fell in love with all of them.
The chemistry between Eli and Brooke is off the charts but what I really liked about them is their ability to actually get to know each other. Of course, these two have massive secrets but it’s NOT what you think. In fact, I think that their secrets are somewhat anti-climatic. Sure, sure the secrets are revealed near the end of the book but Eli and Brooke had already made that connection and fell in love. I loved both Eli and Brooke from the start. No major skeletons in the closet just two people that didn’t expect to find each other and fall in love.
I just loved this book and Ms. Kyle’s style of writing. She writes tightly and to the point. There are no unnecessary fillers in her story. I liked Eli and Brooke’s sister…a lot. I feel like Brooke’s sister needs her own story. I loved her and how she really is there for Brooke, regardless of their parents.
Overall, this is one the best Indulgence books that I’ve read. It’s tight, sexy, relevant and the characters are fantastic. I looked forward to reading more from Ms. Kyle.
I was hooked from beginning to end. A beautifully written book that kept my attention all throughout it. Loved the characters as well. Would definitely recommend you read this. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
I really enjoyed this book. The chemistry between Eli and Brook is hot. They both have secrets that make their interaction interesting and heartwarming. I loved the quirky secondary characters. The story keeps you interested from start to finish. If you like this genre you will love this book.
Brooke Worthington is the black sheep of her family in the way she does the complete opposite to what her parents want for her. Finding a man to spend the rest of her life with is the last thing she wants to do until she meets Eli Ward and begins to spend time with him. However, Eli is keeping things from her and when she learns the truth, will she be able to accept his reasoning or will they both lose their chance at happy ever after?
This is the first book I've read by Ms. Kyle, yet the moment I finished this story I knew it wouldn't be my last. Really, right from the beginning, this book was enthralling, fast-paced and was an absolute page turner due to the secrets the hero and heroine both have. It's also a story that drew me in immediately because of the instant and intense chemistry between the main characters from the moment they meet. Will they succumb to their intense chemistry right away? Will the heroine give the hero a chance, even though she doesn't do relationships?
As for the dialogue, it was well-written, compelling and I loved the hero and heroine's back stories and their growing relationship that had me intrigued to discover what would happen once their secrets came to light. Moreover, both the main characters were well-developed and beguiling due to the obstacles they have to overcome including the hero finding out what's going on with his company, what will happen to the apartments where the heroine lives and whether the hero can win the heroine's heart, considering her stance on relationships.
With the main characters, the heroine had it tough when it came to dealing with her parents and their negativity towards her when it came to what she was doing with her life. Seriously, it made me feel sorry for her because parents are supposed to be supportive and love unconditionally and it's palpable they favor Brooke's sister over her. However, I liked that the heroine didn't give up on her dreams and continued to pursue what she wanted to do. While the hero, he's confident, hard-working, and I liked how determined he was to find the person that was hurting his company. Certainly, his tactics for finding the person responsible were a tad devious, especially when it's helping him get closer with the heroine, but it was also necessary because who knew who he could trust within the company he owns with his best friend.
Overall, Ms Kyle has delivered a memorable and delightful read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was intense, the romance hot and special in the way these two need each other to heal from their pasts; and the ending had me worried for this couple's happy ever after, as secrets have a way of coming out. However, in saying that, I absolutely loved the way things turned out for Eli and Brooke, as the hero was willing to do whatever it takes to win the heroine back after things went awry. Who knew the secondary characters could be such a godsend? Yet, it was the epilogue that wrapped this story up splendidly and had me smiling because of the hero's surprise and Brooke's response, which would without a doubt annoy the heroine's mother. I would recommend The Billionaire in her Bed by Regina Kyle, if you enjoy the mysterious strangers trope or books by authors Miranda Liasson, Kate Davies, Lexxie Couper and Alexia Adams.
A chance meeting in a bar, dynamic chemistry, a one night stand that rocks their world, and then they meet again... by chance??
Eli and Brooke both have a reason to be 'hiding out', but when they are together, nothing else matters.
A great story and characters that you just have to love. Stories like Billionaire in Her Bed are the reason I read romance.
I was very pleased with this book. I found the playful interaction between Eli and Brooke very refreshing. It sought of mimicked my own love affair. A one-night stand that turned into twenty-three years. They both are running from something and ran right into each other. The both have secrets but is one any worst or better than the other. What it all boils down to is love. Do I love you enough to forgive and do you love me enough to move on? And it does not hurt that during all of this they cannot keep their hands off each other. Steamy!!!!
Brook was glad her shift at the bar was almost over. She started cleaning up when a gorgeous man who wasn’t from around there and he asked if she had a phone he could use. Usually Brook wouldn’t pay attention to a man like him yet somehow he pressed all her sexual buttons. His name was Eli Brook even asked Eli to help her close she must be desperate to end her cold streak as it had been a long time since she had slept with anyone. Eli owned Momentum Development and was a real estate developer with his partner Simon. Today they had lost the east Harlem Project - the latest in a series of business disasters. Somehow his rival in the N Y real estate game - Noel Dupree was getting the projects he wanted. Eli had made an act of flying under the radar with his projects until it was time to go public but lately Dupree was getting the better of Eli. Eli wondered if there was a mole in his company it was the only thing that made sense.The only person it could be was his best friend and partner Simon. Brook took Eli to the back into the office where there was a futon, and a kitchen area with a microwave and mini frig and workspace Brook said she spent enough time at the bar as she was the manager and bartender. Jack of all trades. Eli had taken off the day he found out about the East Harlem Project. Then Eli called her personal assistant Ginny and told her the would meet up the next morning and where and what time. He spend a glorious night with Brook taking care of the end of her cold streak. Ginny had become the mother Eli had never really had. . When meeting with Ginny Eli said he had to lay low for awhile and he had decided to buy Candy Court and turn it into luxury condos which was in Sunset Park where the bar is and Brook lives. Eli decides to live at Candy Court there are still a few tenants there then Eli finds out Brook is one and he ends up on the same floor as her. But Eli had to get some inexpensive clothes or he will blow his cover so he again goes through Ginny before he moves in after he had attended a tenants meeting that Brook was running. Brook’s father was a rich man who saw Brook as a flighty dreamer who spends her days doodling. and her nights doling out alcohol. Brook was doing edits on her graphic novel so her agent would get it published. Brook had a five year plan and no man was going to detour her. Brook had learned by her mother’s mistakes. What really attracted Eli to b Brook is she was attracted to plain old Eli not the rich man and that hadn’t happened since Eli had hit it big. Brook is forced to attend a charity event and see eli as he is the host and spokesperson for the charity. Then Brook is very angry when she finds out who Eli really is and angrily looks for him but Eli’s sister does warn him. Brook kinda listens to Eli’s explanation but in the end tells him to screw off. Then Brook intends to get the tenants as well as the neighborhood to have a meeting and do everything she can with their support to stop Eli from taking over their building. Eli is a grumpy person to be around now and Brook holes up in her apartment
I loved this story a lot. I liked Eli and didn’t think he was a bad guy at all. I loved how he had talked to other people in the neighborhood and had a place for the tenants could go even Brook and be able to be together as they were now and be like the family they had become. I loved how Brook tried to help her fellow tenants. I also loved how Brook and Eli helped Chris and David’s wedding. It was so sweet. I also loved how Eli acted when Brook’s sister showed up. There were just so many things I loved about this story. I loved the characters and the ins and outs and I highly recommend.
This was a fun and fast paced sweet read. I like both Eli and Brooke, not to mention Brooke’s building family. The chemistry as great and the story holds your interest throughout. I liked it.
Secrets and chemistry are the main theme for The Billionaire in Her Bed by Regina Kyle. Real estate mogul Eli Ward discovers there’s a mole in his office giving away his plans to purchase and renovate buildings around NYC. While walking the streets of Brooklyn he enters a bar only to meet bartender Brooke Worthington. She has no idea of who he is and that is fine with him; but then Brooke has her secrets. After what was supposed to be a one-night stand, Eli moves into the run-down former candy factory where Brooke lives. Eli is determined to get in on the ground floor of gentrifying the neighborhood, but after spending time with Brooke and her neighbors he has a difficult time wanting to evict them or other hard-working middle class residents of the area. When Brooke discovers who Eli really is fireworks explode, unlike when Eli learns Brooke’s secret. Eli and Brooke have an amazing attraction which Ms. Kyle handles well in her vivid writing.
I really loved reading this book and had trouble putting this book down, reading it in one day. Ms. Kyle wove a wonderful story, drawing me in and not letting go until I turned the last page. I highly recommend this book to other readers.
4 1/2 STARS!
A smokin' hot one night stand leads to more than a casual hook-up when life's circumstances bring them together again! The characters are a lot of fun, their supporting cast cracks us up on more than one occasion, and the sweet romance they manage to mix-up during all of their turmoil is something to behold! Really enjoyed this story!
Bartender Brooke Worthington thinks it's her lucky day when a hot sexy suit shows up in her bar just before closing time. She hasn't been dating much lately because she's busy working at the bar as well as on her graphic novel, but she's happy to break her sexual dry spell with this stud! She certainly doesn't expect to see him pop up at a neighborhood meeting in the very building she lives in a few days later!
Real estate mogul Eli Ward is working on the sly to figure out what's going on at his company, but after Brooke mentioned the night they met that the neighborhood is doing well, he decided to buy and tear down a building to replace it with luxury condos. How was he to know it was where the hottie from the bar lived?? As he casually hangs out with Brooke and her friends, his life actually starts to meld well with hers and he wonders if he can do anything differently with this project that will save the great people in this building from being thrown out on the street. When his secret gets out, will their growing relationship be over?
Two wealthy people each hiding who they are & where they come from. He's a billionaire & real estate tycoon who's trying to find the mole in his company. She's an heir to a hotel empire that doesn't conform to her families ideas & expectations. She's a graphic artist trying to publish her first book. After indulging in a one night stand, it's not sure who is the most surprised when they meet up again in the apartment building she lives in that is his new target. What follows is a entertaining tale of secrets, passion, misunderstandings & unconventional love. The other apartment dwellers grab your attention & emotions. As long as you like steamy explicit sex scenes, you'll love this one!
Eli Ward knows someone is leaking information from his business until he could figure who he needs to lay low. He wasn't expecting to have a one night stand that was unforgettable and ending up in a small town, or interested in acquiring the building he is renting from.
Brooke is only interested in not being associated with her wealthy family she just want to live a life under the radar. She will fight for what is right and will always be there for her neighbors.
Both Eli and Brooke are not happy when they find out who the other one really is nor is she happy when she finds out how his plans will affect her life.
This story was cute as with most "billionaire Stories" I was expected much more in the heat department, however it still had a story line behind it and it was a fast read.
** I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**
'The Billionaire in Her Bed' by Regina Kyle is the story of Eli Ward and Brooke Worthington.
Brooke is a Graphic Novelist, a Bar Tender and she overseas the Candy Court Tenants Association for her apartment building. Brooke also has a soft heart and helps other along the way.
Eli is interested in buying the building that now houses the Candy Court Apartments and flipping in to Luxury Condos. In addition he is trying to find Momentum Mole so he goes undercover of sorts and doesn't let anyone know who he really is.
Eli and Brooke had a one night stand when he came into her bar. Brooke thought never to see him again until he showed up and the Candy Court Tenants Association reporting that he will be living in the building for a while. Eli doesn't let Brooke know who he really is or what he is doing there..he kind of likes not being known. Brooke is taken back by seeing her one night stand again and tries to fight her attraction to him but its not working out to well for her.
I enjoyed this book!
