The California Billionaires Romance Boxed Set – Sweet Christian Romance

Three sweet, romantic beach novels set along the gorgeous Southern California coastline and featuring swoon-worthy billionaires and feisty heroines.

Hands off My Billionaire – Book 1

She is an entertainment reporter assigned to dig up his dirt. He is a disillusioned billionaire with a secret. Surely, love can't blossom in a situation like this.

Isabella Jacobs works with disadvantaged children, but that is just her volunteer job. For her paying job, she is a journalist with the notorious TBZ - The Buzz Zone Media Outlet. She plans to work there just long enough to make money to help the children, and then she is quitting.

Asher Ramsey is the owner of the world renowned Treviare Resort and Spa, situated on the edge of a picturesque cliff with a stunningly beautiful beach below. He was born into wealth, but he is tired of being used by everyone. There's got to be more to his life than this.

When Isabella’s supervisor, Brianna Knight, gives her yet another troubling assignment, Isabella’s not sure she can take it. And the closer Isabella gets to Asher, the more she is confused. He is definitely hiding something, and it is not insignificant. Can Isabella get him to reveal his well-guarded secret? Or will he deftly slip out of her reach?

The Billionaire’s Yacht – Book 2

Who is Lucas Flaire?

He was a handyman hired to clean and take care of the billionaire’s yacht. He was not the billionaire himself. But Thea doesn’t know that.

She was a nanny, looking for some kids to love and guide. She wasn’t looking for a horde of scoundrels. Okay, they weren't so bad, but training them to be good, obedient children and use the gifts bestowed upon them was not going to be easy.

Grunt is the actual billionaire – an elderly, gruff gentleman who is rather eccentric. He has hired Lucas to be the father figure to his children, and he needs him all the more now that his young model-turned-singer wife has tragically passed away in a plane crash after one of her concerts.

When Thea finds out Lucas has misled her all along, will she ever be able to trust him again?

A modern-day, Sound of Music, Mary-Poppins-type romance

My Billionaire’s Secret Dreams – Book 3

She is his best friend’s sister. He is not your everyday billionaire.

Jaxton Braun is a billionaire who has broken away from his father’s oil business to have a fresh start selling organic health food bars with a focus on love and good deeds – but he is still feeling empty.

Stunning Sylvia Oscar is a FanGram sensation with her insanely popular fitness posts and videos. She knows how to capitalize on the positive, and never let the demons of her past haunt her. If only she can remain successful in the public’s eye, she's sure she can keep the nightmares at bay.

Jaxton would do anything to have Sylvia for his own, but she wants nothing to do with him. They’re childhood friends and current-day enemies. She already tried dating him, and it simply didn't work out. Since he can’t have Sylvia, he is focused on pouring all he has into his business and his philanthropy.

But there’s another problem. Jaxton’s dreams are beginning to disturb him.

Insecure women and the men who love them

We all have flaws, so it's amazing that we can be blessed enough to find people who overlook those flaws. Each of these stories explores what happens when an insecure woman encounters a handsome billionaire; especially one who treats them well.

Tensions escalate the insecurity making them behave in unappealing ways. Yet their billionaire beaus each look beyond that to see the woman inside; the one who's been hurt before. And perhaps, just perhaps, who might be healed by their love.

I just wish I saw more of what the guys saw in these women. The men seemed nearly perfect, while the women seemed rigid and self-centered. So, the connections that were made didn't feel all that satisfying to me.

Ok reads

These were ok stories. I found there were parts I really liked and parts I didn't like it all in each story. Some characters were developed better than others. These are sweet and clean romances with a little suspense thrown in.

The narrator did a good job on each one.

I received free audiobook from the author and I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Sleepy Millionaire Love Stories

Not a lot of substance. too predictable. The narrator has no inflection in her voice. Just dry and plain.

Just ok

These books had a lot of fun parts in them and great idea in general, but they were kind of all over the place. Really hard to follow. They were all hard for me to finish. The characters were all so moody. In love one second and hating each other the next. Just not my cup of tea.
The narrator did a good job though.

Excellent Narration and Story

Billionaire Yacht
Grunt is the actual billionaire
Lucas is the handyman, but to act as the father
Lucas hires her as a nanny for the children. The mix up comes when love has a hand in this mayhem and mischief. Nobody was really portraying who they were...Cute story
Billionaire Sweet Dreams
This was a different story then one thought. She was his best friend sister. They clashed, she was determined to find success. Till his dreams and his strong belief that she was in danger. How to convinced her and keep danger away, and her safe. The author gave us a good plot, and also got the audio which added to this story. Well done, and good characters. Enjoyed the narration of this series, brought the characters to life.
Given audio my voluntary review and my honest opinion
