Originally reviewed for Bodice Rippers, Femme Fatales and FantasyIn Book Three of Jackie Ashenden's Billionaire's Club Series, we finally get to meet the real "Bad Boy" of the Morrow family. Tougher than tough but we soon discover that just like his two older brothers, Sean Morrow is a man to keep.Abigail Prescott has loved one person her entire life. Not her father who constantly verbally abused her and not her mother who never stood up for her and who worried more about what the neighbors might think than what Abby needed. No, the one person she loved since forever was her best friend Sean Morrow. Except one night after a High School graduation party the two of them took things one step too far. Sean fled, leaving Abby alone and pregnant. After loosing the baby, the only person who stood by her was Sean's older brother Jax.. It's five years later and Abby is ready to leave Morrow and find her way in the business world, she only has one last job to do for the man who helped her survive, get his younger brother, the prodigal son, ready for life in the business world. So all Abby has to do is face the man who left her alone and pregnant...Sean Morrow wanted more out of life. He just didn't know how to get it. When his father had an affair, he was the product.. His mother made sure to let him know that he was the reason his father refused to divorce his wife and marry her.. after his mother's death his absentee father swooped in and "saved the day" except all that meant was putting Sean in the hands of a resentful wife and ignoring him. Sean's life was miserable.. All he could think of was escaping but when he slept with pretty Abby Prescott he just knew he had destroyed that relationship too.. so he ran! He's back and has promised his brothers to give corporate life a chance.. Only when he discovers that Abby is going to be his "mentor" he is shocked.. when he discovers just what a mess he left behind, he is devastated.. But is he willing to give this new life a chance?Way too short!! This was a beautiful story about finding redemption and as Carmen would refer to it, winning her back. I completely enjoyed this book and really loved watching these two find their way back to each other. Watching them face their fears and discover that yes, they were lovable. That no one had a right to define them but themselves. Of course watching Sean learn what a real family was, was also worth the read. Hard headed pain in the ass that he was. Sean really just wanted to be loved.The general theme in this series was rather impressive and interesting. Each of the brothers was sure he was the outsider, that the others had it better. That daddy, the jerk, truly loved the others but had no use for him. It of course wasn't true, daddy dearest didn't give a rat's patootie about any of them. He was the shadow looming in the darkness that each had to overcome.All I have to say is next time write bigger books *grins*. Of course in this particular case Ms Ashenden tells a beautiful story in so few words.ShauniThis review is based on the ARC of The Billionaire Biker, provided by netgalley
