Review: Quick, but not Satisfying
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 04 28, 2014
Out of the three books in Ashenden's Billionaire's Club Trilogy, I would say The Billionaire Biker is the strongest. However, it has a few flaws that still left me disappointed, much like the previous books.It's hard to tell a complete story in a novella, and I'm often harsh when rating them. But the truth is I was easily able to put Sean's book down, and that alone is never a good sign, especially when the book in question is only 100 pages.I was curious about Sean's story from the beginning of the trilogy. I am not upset that I read TBB, but it did not live up to my expectations either. It was simply “meh”, the hardest opinion to explain, but I will try.I had a problem with Sean's “dark past”. I didn't like that he threw it at Abby so late in the story. Ashenden did not give time for Sean, Abby, or the reader to come to terms with this (also, I never felt like Abby's secret was ever truly handled, though it was told in the second chapter, and it's a big one . . .). The scene in which Sean tells about his mother read more like a spoiled boy throwing a tantrum and yelling, not a strong man admitting his problems and opening up to the woman he loves.The story was quick and the sex was pretty hot. It was an easy read, but also one I will no doubt forget within a week.As I have said before, I loved Ashenden's Talking Dirty with the Player, and I keep hoping I will love another one of her novels just as much. That has not happened yet, I'm afraid. But I will still continue to try her books because her writing voice is clear and I have seen an improvement in her last few books.For a hot quickie with a bad boy ex-MC enforcer, The Billionaire Biker may just work for you! On a side not, this series can be read out of order with no problem.Between 3 and 3 1/2 STARS!~ * ~ * ~For my full review, including some of my favorite quotes from the book, please visit my blog, TBQ's Book Palace.TheBookQueen
