"Red Riding Hood? It was time to meet the Big Bad Wolf."

"She understood that there would be nothing "fine" about a kiss. It had ravaged her, destroyed her. Made her realize how unprepared she was for a man like him."

The Big, Bad Billionaire was a lot of fun. I really enjoy modern re-tellings of classic novels & fairy-tales and this one really took me by surprise. I love that this author decided to go a different route and gave us a re-telling that we don't see too often; Little Red Riding Hood. I was totally intrigued from the moment I read the synopsis and couldn't wait to get my hands on this book.

The Big, Bad Billionaire is seductive and intriguing. This story sucks you in from page one and keeps you begging for more. I loved the plot and the modern take on this story. I couldn't have asked for a better wolf in Rafe. He was sexy, broken and determined. He let nothing stay in the way of what he wanted. At the same time, he was complex and complicated. He didn't let many in and didn't know how to handle his emotions. Ella was a great partner for him. She was his total opposite and brought out a new side to Rafe. Rafe took Ella's inhibitions away and in turn, Ella opened Rafe's heart...

Overall, I thought this book was a really enjoyable read. I found this story to be well written and entertaining. This book had just the right amount of sexiness and drama; a total guilty pleasure read. It is easily the kind of book that you can spend the day getting lost in. I look forward to checking out more books in this series in the future.

While there were some interesting potentials for Rafe's dark history, I was uncomfortable with his dominating personality. And wanted to slap Ella to make her wake up and make decisions on her own. This was just too dark for me. I wasn't sure what to expect with this story, but it's not my typical contemporary or romantic suspense subgenres.

The Big, Bad Billionaire, is a great representation of Little Red Riding Hood. Rafe plays the Wolf perfectly. And the way that Ella is so intimidated by him, I could feel it.
This can be read as a stand alone, but is fun to read the others and see each of the happily ever after stories.

A must read. Absolutely love reading anything by Jackie Ashenden. Rafe plans for a long time how to deal with his attraction of Ella. Knowing no better he tries blackmailing. This backfires on him. Ella has anxiety issues, but fights through them.
