Blog Tour Series Review & Giveaway: Bad Boy Billionaire Series – Maya Rodale

The third installment of a sexy, whirlwind romance about a modern-day heroine writing historical romance novels based on her romantic misadventures with the bad boy billionaire.

 

Jane Sparks had it all…almost.

 

Everyone knew that Jane Sparks had been dumped by her high school sweetheart and fired from her job, which is why she was really looking forward to attending her high school reunion as a successful romance novelist with her hot billionaire boyfriend as her date. But a violent encounter with her ex-boyfriend changed everything.

 

Duke Austen was the luckiest guy in town…almost

 

Duke Austen is a blue-eyed charmer with a bad boy reputation and ambitious plans for his future-after two failed startups, this tech entrepreneur is about to celebrate the $20 billion IPO of his company-but it no longer matters when the woman he loves has been hurt. Stranded in his apartment during a hurricane without powerless, they must rebuild their trust…and fall in love all over again.

Just when they have it all figured out, Jane and Duke are forced to decide what matters more: facing her past or celebrating his successful future.

Series Review

I really enjoyed this series.  I loved how the author tied these present day novellas into the Regency era Wallflower novels (and even included herself in there as well).  I wasn’t sure just how the heroine, Jane Sparks, was going to match up with the very sexy Duke Austen, but Maya Rodale made it work.

Jane was a somewhat typical Regency era wallflower, but the author put a modern day twist on the wallflower story giving us the shy librarian pining away for her lost love when she stumbles upon the unobtainable man who she’ll soon discover she can’t live without.  Jane was easy to connect with and someone you wanted to champion.  You wanted her to be able to go back to her high school reunion and thumb her nose at everyone.  More importantly, we wanted the great Duke Austen to fall for Jane and prove to her just how special she was.

Duke was a guy who was hard not to like.  Even when he was incessantly tweeting or checking in on Four Square, there was something geeky and lovable about him…even with all his gadgets.  You couldn’t help but like who he was when he was with Jane, but understood his drive to make a success out of his latest business venture.  And while it seemed like his business might have been more important than Jane’s, Duke had a way of proving just how important Jane was to him.

I haven’t met a Maya Rodale book that I didn’t like and this novella series is no exception.  It has great characters, witty dialogue and a storyline that makes it hard to put these down.
