Review: 3 1/2 Stars -- A Sexy Quickie!

Although The Billion Dollar Bachelor had a few minor bumps along the way, the story was both extremely sexy and tender, and I was quite happy to read Jax and Pandora's story.I wish this novella had been longer, of course, and I felt like the jump to love was rushed, as was the ending. I don't believe that the major issues with Pandora's father could be that easily resolved.I also felt like both Pandora and Jax were just barely introduced, and there was not enough time to peel back the various layers of their characters. At times, Pandora was a bit annoying, acting more like a child than anything else. Other times, I could see the start of a backbone, and I wanted more of that!One scene stuck out - the restaurant scene. I just couldn't wrap my mind around them having wild sex in the restaurant with only a curtain separating their table from the rest of the crowd. And no one heard? No one peeked? I find that hard to believe, especially since the hero is such a big name in the city! Was it sexy? Sure. But I just couldn't get into it completely.I'm curious to see Jax's brothers, especially the mysterious bad boy, Sean. I think I'll come back to this series in the future. I've read a few of Ashenden's books and I find that her voice is easy to read  and her stories are filled with sexy alpha men who love to talk dirty. It's a win-win!For a quick romp that starts as a hot one-night stand and winds through a fake engagement before ending in a HEA, The Billion Dollar Bachelor is sure to please!3 1/2 STARS!~ * ~ * ~For my full review, including favorite book quotes, please visit my blog, TBQ's Book Palace.TheBookQueen
