4 out of 5 for this reader folks!Stranded with a Billionaire by Jessica Clare is the first of a brand spanking new series and it didn't disappoint!Bronte Dawson (love her name), just wanted a nice vacation! That's all! She didn't need her annoying friend to accompany her, she didn't need the resort to be a dive, she didn't need for a hurricane to wallop her little tropical fantasy and she certainly didn't need to be stranded on said tropical fantasy island with Mr HUNKY BIG BUCKS!Sometimes you get regardless if you need! Bronte sure did! ;)Logan Hawkings is one of six guys that make up the billionaires club. These 6 guys help each other out and have been BFF's for a while. One of his friends tells Logan about this tropical island that would be a wise investment and so Logan decides to check it out. Little does he know that he is about to embark on quite the adventure.Bronte and Logan meet during the evacuation of this island as a major hurricane is about to hit. They get stuck in an elevator together and once they realize they are in deep doodoo they find a way out and hide in as safe a place as they can. Once the worst has past, they realize that they are literally the only two people left there. Through fear, excitement and "holy smokes we lived thru that!" they plunge into an attraction that they can't nor want to fight. After a few days together, they are falling deeply for each other .... and then rescue comes.Bronte is a simple happy girl, works as a waitress and lives her life minute to minute. She is fairly easy going, honest and just a lovely character. When she discovers that Logan is in fact the owner of this island resort and a billionaire at that, she freaks out! She's hurt he lied to her (by omission)and takes off back to her simple life.Logan has decided he wants Bronte and what Logan wants, Logan buys. He tracks her down and forces her to face him (that part was hilarious) and talks her into spending time together to see if they are compatible. Bronte reluctantly agrees and is then thrown into the life of the rich and elite. SHE HATES IT!Through much head butting, past relationship issues, mistakes on both their parts these two do quite the dance to reach their HEA. They are clearly meant for each other, but they both need to come to each others levels with love and understanding to make it work. The ending is amazing and made me want to do a happy dance!This book has some hot scenes, some quick wit and of course the set up for next book! If you are looking for a light, romantic read, be sure to check this one out! :)HAPPY READING!ARC provided by NetGalley for an honest review! :)
