Ich liebe die Bücher von J. S. SCOTT und lese sie in der Regel direkt nach dem Erscheinen auf Englisch, da ich bei dieser Autorin tatsächlich die Originale noch lieber mag als die Übersetzungen. Auch dieses Buch habe ich sofort gelesen, als ich es in den Händen hatte. ENCHANTED hat mir wieder total gut gefallen, der 4. TEIL der ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES – REIHE ist auch ABSOLUT KLASSE.
Auf NOAH SINCLAIRs Geschichte war ich besonders gespannt. NOAH ist der älteste der WESTKÜSTEN-SINCLAIRS und musste, nachdem seine Mutter gestorben war, sehr früh die Verantwortung für seine Geschwister übernehmen. Ihn habe ich schon zu Beginn der Reihe sehr in mein Herz geschlossen. Natürlich ist auch NOAH wieder ein LIEBEVOLLER ALPHA-MANN, auch wenn das LIEBEVOLL in Bezug auf ANDIE nicht unbedingt sofort ersichtlich wird 😉.
ANDIE ist OWENs beste Freundin und Reisebloggerin. OWEN bittet sie auch nach CANCUN zu reisen, Noah dort in seinem Zwangsurlaub im Blick zu behalten und dafür zu sorgen, dass er sich wirklich entspannt. Das ist tatsächlich gar nicht so eine leichte Aufgabe, denn der älteste dieser SINCLAIRS ist ein absoluter Workaholic.
Der PLOT der Geschichte und der SCHREIBSTIL der Autorin hatten mich wieder sofort „an der Angel“. ENCHANTED ist KURZWEILIG und HUMORVOLL geschrieben. Eine sehr schöne Geschichte.
Das COVER des Buches ist einfach WUNDERSCHÖN! Ich finde es passt großartig zur Geschichte.
Bei der Autorin ist man an HAPPY ENDS gewöhnt und natürlich enttäuscht sie den Leser auch hier nicht.
Theoretisch ist das Buch als STAND-ALONE lesbar, ich kann es aber nicht empfehlen. Man begegnet in den Büchern von J.S. SCOTT immer wieder bekannten Charakteren und weiß auch schon deutlich mehr über die Familie, wenn man die Vorgänger kennt. Das größere Lesevergnügen hat man meiner Meinung nach, wenn man die Bücher in der richtigen Reihenfolge liest.
Ich konnte ENCHANTED NICHT AUS DER HAND LEGEN. Wieder eine WUNDERSCHÖNE Geschichte aus der Feder von J. S. SCOTT. Das Buch ist LEICHT ZU LESEN und hat mir eine WUNDERVOLLE LESEZEIT bereitet. Ein klasse Buch für Zwischendurch. Aus der Hand gelegt habe ich die Geschichte immer nur kurz, wenn es absolut notwendig war. Ich wünsche allen Lesern, die sich dazu entscheiden das Buch zu lesen, ein paar wundervolle Lesestunden. Von mir bekommt ENCHANTED von J. S. SCOTT 4,5 von 5 STERNEN.
J.S. Scott has done it again! Her creative story lines and descriptions of everything going on really draw you in and get you hooked! Said reading time was 4 hours but it was way shorter since I couldnt put it down! In perfect JS Scott fashion, this story, the forth in The Accidental Billionaires, was written with plenty of passion and a beautiful and masterful storyline, Great dialogue and content. These books will always be an ideal companion to all romance readers as they transport you to that fantasy world where in spite of trials and tribulations the characters will always get their happily ever after. I absolutely love all the Sinclair's family and are added to my all time favourite list and I really do like to read again and again whenever I need a fantastic story to read!! I'm so glad we're getting these books to meet more Sinclair's! Happy reading!!
I love this series, and have loved all the books so far, but this one touched me.
It was great to have Noah's story, and he and Andie are wonderful together.
Andies story was so sad and heartbreaking, so many hear wrenching twists in this book.
As usual it was very well written
I enjoyed the update on the other brothers, and their wives but I am really looking forward to the next installment...
I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
“Keep your head down, work hard and your brothers and sisters will survive”. Powerful words which Noah has lived by ever since he took responsibility for his siblings years ago. Noah has become a complete workaholic. Forced to take a vacation with his brother’s friend Andie, she must help him realise raising his siblings is done. She must also convince him to relax, and take time out to discover who he really is. What they didn’t expect was to find love with each other. Is this destined to be a holiday fling or will they take the chance for it to become something more? This will tug at your heart strings, its emotional, and at times heartbreaking. Its also a heart warming story of discovery, courage, life and love.
“Tomorrow is never a guarantee.”
It seems like we’ve waited forever but it’s finally time for Noah’s shot at a happy ending. This is part of a book series I strongly recommend reading the stories in order so you get a genuine understanding of the characters.
I felt already emotionally invested before even behind this story. Also without the background you might get the impression that Noah is sexist because of the way he phrases things in his internal dialogue. “The female had been privileged...”. As Noah is getting reconnected with Andie and seeing her as a grown woman he refers to her in a derogatory fashion more than once, I think it was more to try and give the sense of detachment rather than showing sexism, but those without insight into his character may read it differently.
Andie is a force unto herself. She exudes adventure and the enjoyment of life. Readers will want to see things through her eyes. Even more so when we find out why she makes certain decisions she does.
As with any good J.S. Scott book we have the alpha male and the sweetness of finding new love only to be thrown a curve ball, in this case there’s more than one. I felt this only made the HEA more satisfying. Noah was one of the Sinclair’s I most wanted to see happy as he’d given all of himself to see others happiness. I’m happy he got his turn.
I want to thank NetGalley, J.S. Scott and Montlake Romance for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this story. I voluntarily am leaving this honest review.
Wow. What can I say. I have been waiting for Noah’s book for a while, with him being the eldest and having the sole responsibility of his four siblings.
Keep your head down, work hard, and your brothers and sisters will survive.
That’s all Noah had to remember. Years later and he is still remembering this words his mom uttered to him. After finding they are related to the other Sinclair’s and they get their inheritance it’s time for the eldest brother and Father figure to slow down. In steps Andi, courtesy of Owen ,the baby of the family, off to Cancun it’s down to her to bring Noah into the land of the living. My heart exploded with Noah’s turmoil about working and family and I cried at what Andi had been through. Considering their pasts, will Andi be able to give a forever and will Noah be able to have a life and be the brother he is meant to be???? An excellent book in this series.
Loved reading the fourth book in The Accidental Billionaires series. Noah, the oldest brother, has been taking care of his family since his mom passed away even though all of his siblings are adults now, so Noah's brother, Owen, asks his best friend, Andie, to go on vacation with Noah to help him have a fun and relaxing vacation. Even though Noah has plans to work the whole time, Andie talks Noah into sight-seeing. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, full of humor and heart-wrenching romance.
I reviewed a copy of the book through NetGalley.
An Excellent Inspiring Love Story!
This was a feel good romance with a bit of heat, tho mostly heart and I enjoyed it immensely. It will bring forth all your emotions, changing them regularly.
Noah, the workaholic oldest sibling, is finally forced to face some truths. Along the way Andie gets to start her life renewed also, from a twist I sure didn't anticipate.
Mostly lighthearted, but the depth and serious notes are always there, just depends on how you look at life. These two I felt really were perfect for each other, an inspiring read for overcoming life's hurdles and an HEA to make you deep sigh from your own feelings for Noah and Andie, and maybe your own life.
Fourth book of the series but easily a stand alone as I hadn't read the others ... yet.
I have to add, the cover is just perfect and you'll understand once you read Enchanted!
I received an ARC thru Netgalley and am giving my honest opinion voluntarily.
I loved this book. The relationship between Noah and Andie was great. I loved how Andie slowly brought out the best in Noah and how sweetly their relationship started. It was brilliant that the change in Noah helped improve the relationship between him and the rest of the siblings. All in all a fantastic read.
Andie Lawrence is an adventurous travel blogger and Noah Sinclair is a workaholic tech genius and the oldest of the Sinclair siblings who acquired enormous wealth through extraordinary circumstances. They're through together when Sinclair siblings decide that Noah needs a break and Andie is the best person for the job! What happens next is a wonderful story of discovering your identity after difficult circumstances, and a love story between two seemingly dissimilar souls.
J.S. Scott has done it again! I think Noah is by far my favorite Sinclair sibling, and I relate to Andie's passion for travel so much! This book is perfect for a lazy Saturday to sit at your favorite armchair and fall in love with these two wonderful characters. The pace and banter of the story kept me engaged and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely check it out if you're looking for a story about a vacation fling turned into something more!
I'm so excited to read Owen and Layla's story next!
Great addition to the series.
Noah, the eldest Sinclair, gave up everything to raise his siblings when his mother passed away. With no money and constant stress, Noah worked hard and never regretted it. Now that he is rich, Noah doesn't know how to relax and enjoy life. His siblings are worried he will work himself into an early grave, so they send him on a vacation to Mexico with Andie, his younger brother's best friend. The chemistry between the two heats up instantly, but can they figure out how to each get what they want? Andie is fighting her own past demons and can't believe she is able to have a future with Noah.
I love the characters and the story. They plot is predictable but so well written and enjoyable.
I am looking forward to the next book.
Solid novel. I liked the premise of the story. I just wish the book was longer because I felt like the relationship was rushed between the two. Besides that, the characters were easy to root for and the writing was good.
Absolutely no redeeming or significant dialogue up to at least 12% and i didn't like either character. Nothing about them stood out to me. Too much build up about rich peoples forced vacations to cancun on their private jets. Just because it's a "billionaire" romance doesnt men it need to be thrown in our faces so blatantly.. it should be sprinkled theoughout the story in charming or vulgar ways here and there. think I'm going to have to pass on this one. In ANY book that I read, if I'm not even partially interested I usually stop reading. But I appreciate the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
During the past year or so, J.S. Scott has become my favorite author in the Billionaire Romance category. With her stories, it's not all about the money. Her characters bring passion, complexity and sincerity to every page. Especially, The Accidental Billionaires series. Each book I read in the series becomes my favorite. And Enchanted was no exception. In fact, I'd say it's my favorite J.S. Scott book to date. And another aspect that is so great, is that I haven't yet read all her Billionaire books. Looking forward to that as soon as I can find some extra time. Also, this author can write a story with all the feels, the angst is always enough to keep you invested but not over -the -top. I love my happy endings but sometimes to get there, the angst is just too much and I find I just want a book to end already. But not with this author, and not with this book. I was engaged in every word until the very end. I just can't wait until the next Sinclair sibling gets their book!
Noah and Andie.....
Ok...if you have read any books in this series, then you know these Sinclair siblings did not grow up Billionaires. In fact, they have had a very tough life. The oldest sibling, Noah, has had to grow up too soon. Since his late teens, he has been the provider, protector and what holds what's left of his family together. The dynamic between the Sinclair siblings was amazing; believable. They loved each other and were loyal to each other to a fault.
Even now, when money is not and will never be an issue again, Noah can't seem to turn his obsessiveness to provide for his siblings off. It has not yet sunk in, that being poor will never be an issue again. I want to stop here and say that my heart belonged to Noah from very early on. His character was endearing and there was just nothing negative about his personality, except for his workaholic persona.
When Noah's siblings send him on a two-week vacation, the first he's ever had, Noah is annoyed and frustrated. He doesn't want to go away, doesn't want to stop working, doesn't believe he is entitled to have any fun. Despite his complaints about the vacation, he goes as not to upset his siblings.
Andie has her own sad, and traumatic story, one I will not go into because that is an aspect that makes this book more emotional. I just can't spoil that for you. Andie is a travel journalist with her own blog and she just happens to be Noah's youngest brother's best friend. When he asks her to go on vacation with Noah and make sure he has fun instead of working, Andie is delighted. First because she loves traveling. Second because she would never say no to Owen. And thirdly, because once upon a time, Noah's kindness and welcoming persona gave Andie something she never had but desperately needed at a young time in her life.
As you read each page, more of the story will unfold. Andie and Noah find themselves both having a great time with each other. But when the two-week vacation is over, the real angst begins. I loved every single page of the book! Every word. This author knows how to write incredible stories with heart and passion. In addition, her characters are some of my favorites ever found on the pages.
I absolutely recommend this book! Enchanted is a standalone and the series can be read out of order but to have to best reading experience, I recommend you start from the beginning.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)
Andie and Noah are two people that have more in common than they think. Andie is Noah’s brother Owens best friend. They share secrets, holidays, life events and food.
Now Andie is going on a holiday with Noah to try and make him relax a bit. Only thing is; Noah doesn’t know yet!
I loved reading this impossible pair get it together and follow their hearts. A true love story with a happy ending!
Thank you, Netgalley and Montlake Romance, for providing me with a free preview copy of this book. This is my honest opinion and review.
Soooooooooo good.
Wow, I loved this book from the first page. I just finished reading, and am basking in the warm glow the story created.
I have not read the other books in the series. Each can be read alone, but now I definitely want to read them all. I love discovering a new favorite author, and J.S. Scott has definitely secured her spot on my faves list.
The book is just so right: The way the book starts, from the first sentence on. The characters, the way they talk to each other, the pace of the story, the way the author sets the scene and describes everything. Absolutely everything about this book was just exactly right for me. It’s so rare that a book feels so perfect, where there isn’t even one little thing, where the reader wishes for a bit more detail, or a little less of something. You know, where you skim or skip a few pages to get back to the good stuff.
I used to read this author then saw this on Netgalley under Montlake which I am pre-approved for so decided to read it.
It was very predictable. Almost a romance 'paint by numbers'. I knew what Andie's problem with committing to the future would be about. This made it a bit boring as I could predict what was going to happen throughout the book.
Noah wasn't very alpha male like a lot of heroes this author writes..
Review to be loaded at release date at request of publisher. Part of a continuing series can be read as stand alone as well.
I enjoyed this story but I had a very hard time with Noah. The man is roughly 40, having raised his siblings and worked his tail off for over 20 years, yet he spent nearly the entire book sounding like an irritated teenager or college student. He was okay at first and then when he was shaken out of zombie land, it was like he reverted to stupid frat boy speak. It was really jarring and disappointing.
Noah is the eldest and is forced to take care of his siblings when their mother dies. Its heartbreaking. He has to grow up and be a father figure and work hard to care for everyone, but himself. It's not until he's forced to take a vacation with his brothers friend th as t he finally puts his computer away and tries to live. He's kept his head down and work hard fo so many years.
Andie lives in the moment and takes one day at a time. She is excited to have a travel companion and to help Noah relax and enjoy his vacation.
They are ment to be. Their love is wonderful. She really pulls him out of his shell and he helps her in return. He shows her true love and what a family is supposed to be, since hers up as nd left her with household staff to raise her.
I've been waiting a while for this book. I was always intrested in Noah and what his story would entail. I was not disappointed.
