*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*This is the second installment of Jessica Clare's Billionaire Boys Club series. The first in the series was Stranded with a Billionaire. If you haven't read it, you should. These can be read as a stand alone, but if you're a stickler like me, you still have to read them in order.We saw small glimpses of Gretchen and Hunter in Stranded. I was super excited to see they got their own story, and it was definitely worth waiting for. I'll be honest, I was worried I wouldn't be able to fully enjoy reading about Hunter because he is described as being scarred to the point of disfigurement. How awful does that make me? Pretty awful, I guess if I'm reading a romance novel I want the hero to be someone I can fantasize about. I can honestly say, a man with bad scarring along half his face and arms has never been on my radar. Until now..In Stranded, Hunter was cold and distant. He was just as bad in the beginning of this story as well, but this time we learn why. He is incredibly self-conscious, and doesn't seem to think anybody could love him because of how he looks. He had overheard Gretchen talking to a friend about how looks and money didn't matter to her. She was beautiful and vivacious, and he couldn't stop thinking about her, so he hires her to live at his house for a special writing project, just so that he can try to get to know her. Let's just say he definitely does, and it is H-O-T!This was such a fun read. They both end up making a couple mistakes along the way, and misinterpret intentions, but it ends up being worth it in the end. I don't want to give too much away, but it was refreshing reading a book where the female lead was self-assured and experienced, and the male was the unsure one. It made for some steamy scenes. Girlfriend knows how to write a good love scene.Needless to say, I fell in love with this book. I can't wait to read and blog about the rest of the series, but I don't know if she could top this one. I'm hopeful she can pull it off, though. Go grab the books, so we can go through the Billionaire Boys Club series together. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it!Thanks for another great read Ms. Jessica Clare! I give this one two thumbs up!XOXO-Mallory at Dirty Girl Book Club
