After readingCome With Me: A Sensual Submission Erotic Romance, I found Billionaire's Revenge by Marie Kelly for a possible next read. I ended up reading it sooner than expected because the title and the teaser--and the tantalizing cover--just wouldn't stay quiet! I've always loved these kind of plot where the hero tries to save the heroine even when he hates her on a misunderstanding.Italian billionaire Darius Garelli has an axe to grind against the Balfour family, especially little Sarah whom he felt has betrayed him the most by cold-heartedly firing him years ago on account of theft. Now, it was Sarah's sister who would go to jail for theft if he would not help the family. What irony--and what perfect opportunity to exact his revenge.And of course, Sarah is all grown up and beautiful, too. Also, the past was a big misunderstanding between them. But Darius was too angry to listen to reason and before she knew it, she was agreeing to his request (command really, like there was any other choice!) in order to save her sister and her family from a big scandal.I love the characters and the premise of the story. I love that it has all the elements of a romantic plot that makes readers root for both hero and heroine until the blissful happy ending. I certainly did root for Darius and Sarah, though sometimes I wanted to hit Darius in the head with a saucepan for being so mean to Sarah (justified only with the fact that he was thoroughly in love with her, too, of course). I gave it four stars, though, for the lousy formatting. It is so distracting. But other than that, this book is highly recommended to all romance lovers who needed a  non-working afternoon quick fix.
