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.

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"

Male voice

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

sweet story

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

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.

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.

Good Story & Narration, But...

I would have given it a better rating but the repetition in the first 8 or 9 chapters was maddening. I almost stop reading it. The incessant repeating of the inheritance, new found wealth and Jade's younger life and that she had a twin sister living across the nation was unnecessary and the book could have been a few chapters shorter with little to no negative impact to the story.
The story was interesting and the narration was good. It would have been better if there was a male voice for Eli, though. I got confused several times as to which character was speaking.

Definely worth the listen!

I enjoyed this book! it was short, steamy, and had a good storyline with depth. I really liked both of the main characters, and it left me wanting more from this group. I'm definitely looking forward to listening to the next book.

A very boring story

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

well worth listening to

jade isn't used to having money eli was born with money can her get her in his bed listen to find out

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.

Wonderful

Another wonderful book by J S Scott and read by Elizabeth Powers. I am never disappointed and cannot wait for Book 2 I hope it is not too long.

Great book

Another excellent book from J S Scott. looking forward to the next in the series
