Billionaire on the Loose is a fun and entertaining contemporary romance novel that will keep readers engaged from start to finish. The story follows the unexpected romance between real estate mogul, Kelsey and self-made billionaire, Shaw, who find themselves thrown together after a drunken night in Las Vegas. The chemistry between Kelsey and Shaw is electric, and the author does a great job of building up the tension between them as they navigate their growing attraction and try to figure out their feelings for each other. The book also explores deeper themes such as family dynamics and the pressures of being a successful businessperson.

This book is a great choice for fans of contemporary romance who are looking for a light and entertaining read with compelling characters and plenty of romantic tension.

Do I always find it difficult to connect with gamers? No. Did I this time? Yes. Billionaire on the Loose is a decent romantic read, but just didn't hit my sweet spot.

I read this years ago and didn't write any notes. When I looked at the note section on my kindle there were no quotes saved. Which means nothing stood out for me.

After re-skimming the book and re-reading the synopsis it took me FOREVER to remember Taylor and Loch, which means they were unforgettable. This series as a whole is cute and I like a lot of the characters and those characters are what kept me going with this series. But these two were meh unfortunately.

An excellent standout in a fairly busy (but awesome) genre.

I'm really over Billionaires. Like I cannot read about them anymore. This is that exception. Jessica Clare's books are super cute and this heroine was exactly what I needed to read. I really love the way she writes her couples - they always have such chemistry and I loved the nerdiness in this one!

Yes. Yes. Yes!

I love this series and cannot get enough. Loch and Taylor are one of my favorite couples... I love how quirky and awkward Taylor is and even though Loch is a bit of a jerk with how he starts things with Taylor, he quickly becomes a swoon worthy hero. The chemistry is spot on, the storyline pulls you in and keeps you turning the pages, and the romance is everything.

You'll laugh, cry, swoon, pant, moan, and beg for more.

Four stars and Four wet panties.

ARC Review by Miranda at Mommy's a Book Whore.

I had been looking forward to release and as soon as the book started I feared this may become a DNF or a low rated.

Taylor, the heroine who is a total nerd and computer geek. From being a tech specialist to role playing in computer games. There is this arch within the story with a manipulative "friend" which is more like a stalker than anything else. She feels this huge level of guilt vs. seeing the manipulation and stalking behavior that it is. Then there are moments where she acknowledges the "obsession" vs. them being friends and "needed". I mean COME ON! How many times does the reader need to see how CRAZY this 'friend' is when he tells her he's going to hurt himself because she didn't answer an email, text, pin on the game or on social media. This is after Taylor telling him several time she is NOT interested in him "in that way". This line of communication between Taylor & the "online friend" occurs over and over throughout the book. She blames this situation and the guild (gaming) for her "lack of time" and "accepting the promotion" and just about everything else for not going "outside and living". Sigh.

Jessica usually writes stronger heroine and though it seems that there was an effort to make Taylor either into or seem as if she was "strong" because she's has a dominant streak in the bedroom and seems to be 'herself' (i.e. nerdy/geeky, klutzy, lack of filter with her thoughts, etc.). However, this fell flat as there are several times when her friends speak to her harshly and down to her and Taylor doesn't stop that or defends herself. Then there was an incident where she felt the need to change shirts due to how others were looking at her. I get having insecurities, but this didn't stand true to what the readers were asked to believe.

Loch may be "next in line" for the throne in Bellissime but it's obvious he is no where near ready to run a country. He's hot (trust me, we get told how hot he is over and over and over and over and over, by Taylor) but is oblivious to how things truly are and comes across as ...naive and a tad absent minded... an example is when he wants to go running and asks "where the running clothes are".... mind you, he just slept over someone else's house (thus he doesn't have his own clothes there) and he seems to EXPECT that there would be stuff he can use.... when he's asked how things are "usual" for him, he flat out says that he opens the closet and the clothes are there. Basically, he comes across as a bit of a spoil brat who can't seem to make himself breakfast.

Let's talk about the "conflict" between the Heroine and the Hero.... SO OVER DONE it's not funny really. I would expect more from Jessica.

So there were several times where I rolled my eyes.... felt like smacking the heroine for several reasons from accepting to help the Hero because he was "bored senseless" and she would be a distraction from the boredom to the point where she enables the "friend" and his stalker behavior.

Narrator's Review:
Jillian Macie is overall good/okay. Her British accents are good and she does a few different voices/tones for the female characters, however, the males all sound too similar and not a difference enough in the tones to have readers believe it's a guy. If you can look over that, then its all good.


Overall, this felt like a filler book and not one that "needed" to be part of the series. I could have totally been okay with THIS storyline being the "novella" and the one that is a "novella" the "Beauty and the Billionaire: The Wedding (Billionaire Boys Club #6.5)" be a full length book. Love the idea of this series, but unfortunately, this one just didn't work for me.

I finally managed to finish this after dragging it out for months, I was very close to DNFing at some moments.

What I liked: I really liked Taylor's character! The plot had so much potential which never got fully utilised.

What I didn't like: Maybe I was expecting too much because opposites attract trope is one of my favs but here I just got really frustrated with Loch and some of his behaviour, like he went away to university but was confused by some stuff in US didn't make any sense?? I never connected to his character and didn't completely feel the attraction/connection they felt towards each other.

That said I have read Jessica's Clare other titles and I've really enjoyed them so this is just the odd one out.
