Review: Stranded with a Billionaire – Jessica Clare

The Billionaire Boys Club is a secret society of six men who have vowed success – at any cost. Not all of them are old money, but all of them are incredibly wealthy. They’re just not always as successful when it comes to love…

Billionaire Logan Hawkings needs a vacation.
He’s had a rough time after the death of his father and the betrayal of his fiancée. But with a visit to a recent business acquisition—a private island resort in the Bahamas—he has a chance to mend his broken heart.
When a hurricane blows in, a misplaced passport and a stalled elevator bring Logan together with an unusual woman named Bronte. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever met—down to earth, incredibly sensual, and even quotes Plato.
She also has no clue that he’s rich…

Bronte Dawson, a waitress from the Midwest, is stranded with the hotel’s domineering yet sexy manager Logan. What’s the harm in a little fling when it’s just the two of them, alone in paradise? But after several steamy island nights in Logan’s arms, Bronte’s ready to give her heart—and her body—to the man in charge.

But she soon discovers there’s more to Logan than he’s told her…a billion times more. Now, Bronte’s caught in a whirlwind affair with one of the world’s most powerful men. But can their love endure their differences or will it all just blow over?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Bronte Dawson won a trip to an island paradise. It’s not the greatest vacation and then a hurricane hits and she’s stranded. The very hunky and very rich Logan Hawkings is stranded with her. Together they survive, and bond a bit under the tense circumstances.

I really loved Bronte and Logan, they’re fun characters that have some very sexy chemistry between them. Things turn a bit ugly because Logan, in effort to want to be loved for himself doesn’t let Bronte know he’s a billionaire. This is a pretty common trope, and it works well here, and I was with Bronte when she felt upset about the lie.

Logan is yummy and dominant but Bronte doesn’t just roll over and show her belly. She’s a fabulously strong heroine and I loved that. The plot flows easily and this book introduces the series well.

I look forward to reading about the other billionaires. I highly recommend this story and I enjoyed the humor that Ms. Clare brings to the story and her characters.
