I was excited when I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review because it contained Michele de Winton's 1st book in the Love On Deck series and I had previously read the 2nd book. Overall it was a good bundle of light reads. Although I liked them all, I think my favorite was The Spanish Billionaire's Hired Bride. I've read Nina and Michele's books before and loved them, and it was nice to find a new to to author in Rachel.The Boss and her Billionaire, had a nice change of pace. I really liked the aspect of Michaela succeeding in a male dominated environment. I thought Dylan's mid career change was an interesting choice. I enjoyed the story line and the pacing. The only thing that I wish had been different was the way it wrapped up. I absolutely hated Dylan when they were in Sydney before his epiphany. Their conversation at dinner made me annoyed with both characters. Dylan's comments were rude, disrespectful, and likened her to a hooker (albeit he was clueless to how it sounded) and I was disappointed that Michaela didn't say anything. Everything was cleared up with not enough groveling in my opinion. Although I liked the book I recommend that people read the 2nd book in the series. I think it's even better.blackmailed by the Italian Billionaire, is the 2nd book of Nina's that I've read. I loved Losing Control and had seen this book before and couldn't wait for it. Luc has been looking for Lia's father in order to seek revenge for all the things her dad did to him. She's also looking for her no good dad but has no idea about the things he's done to Luc. Luc decides to use Lia to find him by blackmailing her with photos. During their search they bicker, fight, and fall for each other. But what's going to happen when the truth comes out? Will there be anything left for them to build on?The Spanish Billionaire's Hired Bride, my fav of the bundle. I loved how they met. Best meeting ever so I'm not going to spoil it but let's just say it was painful for Ricardo. He sees Helen as someone who's focused on money. He's nearing 30 and if not married by his bday he'll lose a bet. He figures as a money hungry woman she'll agree to marry him for money. She's initially offended by his offer and tells him so but after talking to her family she sees how much she needs that money. As they get to know one another and spent time together as a married couple they really begin to care for one another but they don't know how the other feels, and is it enough to let go of their preconceived notions or the vengeful woman out to get both of them? I really liked this book and look forward to reading Rachel's other work.
