Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Love is worth a fortune in this sizzling novel of accidental romance and riches by New York Times bestselling author J.S. Scott.

Wildlife conservationist Jade Sinclair isn’t used to having money. But when she and her siblings learned they were part of the mega-rich Sinclair dynasty, they became billionaires overnight. Jade doesn’t even know how to act rich, especially when she’s dealing with an arrogant, privileged, unreasonably sexy snob like Eli Stone.

Unlike Jade, Eli grew up rich, and he just keeps getting richer. Eli is always looking for an adventure, and he’s found an inviting one in Jade - as resistant as she is irresistible. His less-than-honorable plan? Get her alone in the wilderness by buying out all the spots in her survival class.

Calling a truce, they strike a bargain: Jade will teach Eli basic survival skills, and he’ll teach her how to navigate the world of the wealthy elite. Jade has only one condition - she will not let herself be seduced by him. But some things are easier said than done...

Broken Record

After the first two chapters it's pretty much a broken record. Chapters 3 through 9 are on repeat, reiterating the same thing over and over and over again. I was going to return the book but then I read the reviews and one said if I could stomach the repetitiveness until chapter 10 the story picks up. Kinda want to tell other readers to read the first two chapters and then skip to chapter 10. the only thing you'll miss is the annoyance of having to hear the same thing again and again.

no more stop

oh my goodness how many times does the author need to repeat the fact that she won or inherited billions of dollars every single page she must say I inherited money I inherited money inherited money over and over I can't hear it one more time I've got to stop on chapter 2.

Male voice

My only review is I would have hoped for a male voice for the male lead.

All the adverbs all the time

I like JS Scott. I do. I think there's redundancy amongst the billionaire storylines but that's ok. While there is nothing wrong with the narration of these audio books per se, I find myself preferring to read them. And would you like to know why? Of course you do, that is why you are reading this review! It is Ms Scott's love affair with the suffix -ly. A strong verb doesn't require an adverb and any decent editor should remove them. I'd think it wouldn't occur at Scott's level of writing and I find the recurring sound distracting. To quote Stephen King: "I believe the road to h*ll is paved with adverbs"

Narrator

Story needs a male narrator, difficult to follow the story with same one switching back and forth. The change in tone doesn't work.

Disappointing

I read all the Sinclair's books, but this has been the most disappointing one by far.The book is way too long, could have been summarize in 15 chapters instead of 33. She kept repeating the same thing over and over and over again.

I hate not finishing a book...

But I quit this by chapter 3. I just couldn’t do anymore. It wasn’t even a good romance.

sweet story

sometimes you just wish for one person besides you to know your worth or truly help you to understand it.

I really enjoyed this book!

J.S. Scott has this incredible ability to just draw me into her stories from the very first word and make me never want to leave. Her writing is effortless and flows so beautifully that it’s an absolute pleasure to read her books. I absolutely adored Jade and Eli together. Between these two, it was fireworks and outta this world chemistry! Overall rating : 4.5 stars!

Good

A very boring story

It was a very boring story I could not get enthralled in it at all

Ensared

Two worlds meet. New to money Jade is struggling , while Eli has been born into money.
They come to agreement, she will help to loosen up and he will teach her to live in the world of money.

Riveting

The conservationist and the billionaire are two worlds apart in the story old rich money and new found wealth clash but in the end love conquers all boundaries.
