BILLIONAIRE. Juliette JonesReview from Jeannie Zelos Book Reviews.So, I'm a sucker for a billionaire type romance * blush * and this seemed one I'd enjoy. Well, it lived up to the promise of hot and steamy, it was...very much so, in fact to be honest it was too much so. That's maybe a weird thing to say about an erotic novel, but I found that for me this was really just lots of hot, graphic and sensual sexual encounters, with a thin storyline joining them together. Maybe that's because it was written as a serialised novel so had to have some sensuality in each part? I don't know – I'm sure for many people this works well, but for me I have no objection to the sex scenes, in fact I enjoy them but I needed a stronger, deeper storyline. I want good story supported by steamy encounters in an erotic romance, but felt with this book I'd got hot, racy scenes supported by the plot. Wrong way round, but as ever this is a personal view and not one shared by everyone.I enjoyed the basic story, but because of the format felt like everything was really condensed. For instance Lila's interview where she then quickly became Alex lover – all in one short scene – just didn't ring true for me, especially as she was a virgin. Why hold out and then give in so so quickly? I just needed a bit more about how she felt, why she did it etc. Then later when things go wrong I understood her panic and need to get away, but once that was done she just seemed to act really out of character...I was surprised by Alex actions too. Though we had an explanation by way of his background, I felt I needed a bit more story to cover why he acted in such an extreme fashion, and thought it would be fine. It just seemed odd to me, but if there had been more story I think I’d have understood and enjoyed it more.Its a quick, easy, very racy, erotic  read, and those scenes are well written, it just that I needed stronger story too. If you want a quick, hot, easy read this is for you, just not for me.  Its priced at 3.13 for 233 pages.Stars: two and a half. I enjoyed parts of it, but not enough story to rate three but better than a two.
