The Billionaire's Promise

The Billionaire Club, Book 3

De: Johanna Evelyn

Narrado por: Veronica Giguere

Katlyn Winters’ life changed the instant her husband was killed by a drunk driver. Now, a year later, she can’t put off returning to the workforce any longer. When she joins the architectural team at Bridgeport Graphics, Chicago’s number-one design-to-build firm, she’s able to pretend she’s not alone in the world by keeping a picture of her husband and beautiful little girl on her desk. But as she climbs the corporate ladder, it becomes difficult to explain why her husband isn’t around to support her career, all while her feelings for her boss turn into something more than what’s allowed.

Billionaire Landon Bridgeport is impressed by Katlyn Winters’ work ethic and design skills. Even though she’s been out of the workforce for five years, he takes a chance and hires her on the spot. As she quickly rises in the ranks, winning more bids than any other architect in the firm, she also unwittingly weaves her way into his heart. The only problem is she’s off limits. A picture on her desk of a beautiful family keeps her at arm’s length.

As Landon forces himself out of the office to work on his social life, Katie’s interaction with a male coworker in the office doesn’t add up. He feels compelled to keep her marriage safe while juggling a new relationship and a threatening lawsuit from a disgruntled ex-employee. Something must give as he slowly unravels the truth about Katie - and his love for her that he can no longer deny.

Enjoyable!

I liked The Billionaire’s Promise, but slightly less than The Billionaire’s Secret, because the buildup took too long, making the resolution and HEA too short.

Pleasantly Surprised

I’ve really enjoyed it – not your regular billionaire romance!
Katlyn and Landon have wonderful personalities; their obstacles were relatable and tugged at my heart.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I was not required to write a favorable review. All opinions in this review are my own.

Great book

The Billionaire’s Promise is a great book. It’s a sweet and clean romance with plenty of twists to keep the reader engaged. The characters are interesting and vividly described. The performer gives a wonderful narration, enhancing an already enjoyable book.

(3.5 stars) - a lovely story but with some bumps

This book did a great job of immediately pulling me into it and keeping me there. I liked the characters & the story so much.

Unfortunately, Katie's deception about her marriage goes on for so long that it became increasingly difficult to watch Landon's misery. At the very latest, it should have come out while they were in NY when things were getting awkward with Landon about her relationship with Josh.

It also was out of place for Katie to be carelessly touching & hugging her boss, especially given the sexual harassment she had endured at her previous job.

And finally, while it is probably somewhat realistic, sadly, Ava's lawsuit jackpot is a prickly thorn in the happily-ever-after.

So, overall, I liked the story, it just wasn't as smooth a ride as I would have enjoyed.

The letter near the end of the story is so incredibly sweet - and even more so after reading the author's note

*Clean romance level: passionate kisses

[The narrator's voice is pleasant and she does a great job with making the characters' voices sound distinct and natural]

GOOD STORY

New author and enjoyed , well written, given ARC audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
How she stepped back into the work force, a job and a boss, were a dream. The attraction and tension was real, thinking she was married. This causes problems for her till she tells the truth.
The narration by Veronica Giguere brought the story to life.
