Giggly sexy. That is my first thought when I finished reading The Billionaire's Bet: A Seductive Deal. I like when I can read a book that has me giggling and sighing. The premises of a romance author having a dry spell with her sex life as well as her writing, hooking up with a Dom whose name is Dom…I find that very comical. I’m not sure if that was the author’s intent but that is what I walked away with.Enough about that, on with my assessment of characters and story. Book one of the series introduces us to Julie and Dominic. Julie is an interesting character. At times, I feel she is a mature adult but then I get glimpses of her youth. Still I think her character is sweet and somewhat flaky. Dominic seems like a fun guy. I get the sense there is more to his personality than what we are seeing but for now I’m enjoying his playfulness. Their hook up was fairly quick but, since this is a novella, it’s to be expected. The sex was yummy and the BDSM not too overwhelming. I got to hand it to author Clarissa Wild. She did a good job by not having Julie be all worldly and experienced, especially since she is a novice to the whole D/s and BDSM world. Her innocence and lack of experience seems very genuine.I was giving the box set of The Billionaire's Bet by the author to review. I feel in all fairness that each book deserves to be reviewed as well. As the beginning book to the series, I find that The Billionaire's Bet: A Seductive Deal was a good introduction. I look forward to the next book.I received this book from the author for the express purposes of an honest review. The opinions and rating of this review are solely mine and in no way was I compensated.Stars – 3.5 Flames - 3
