Publisher's Summary

Be careful what you wish for....

Once upon a time there was a totally ordinary boy who fell for a cold, beautiful prince. Only it's not a fairy tale, it's my life. The prince is a billionaire called Caspian Hart. And we're trying super hard to live happily ever after. He's everything I want, need, and can't resist: a man who looks like a god and bangs like the devil. 

Except he's still got his rules and he's still got his secrets...But if there's one thing Caspian's taught me it's that you should never settle for less than you're worth. And I'm worth his trust. I have to show him that I see him. That I'm not afraid of his passion, or his power, or his past. And that I won't settle for less than everything.

Really good sequel

I must say I really liked this one, the first book was also really good but now we finaly get some answers! Think what I liked most with this one is Adens and Elories (probably super wrong spelling on her name) adventures as they grow closer as friends. Arden and Caspian finaly talk some stuff thrue but in the end its Caspians dame stubborness not to tell Arden the truth that keeps making it so hard for them to really be together and it kinda felt like a repet of event of the first book at some places, but the story as a whole is good so I didnt really mind. The first book didnt really have much kink so here its finaly getting a little more spicey! There are some elements of BDSM in this book; maindly spanking and light restrains, but its obvious that it will get more into it as the series progress. I read someones review saying the first book was like Fifty Shades of whatever color, but its not even close to that, THIS IS BETTER, stop comparing every singel BDSM themed book to it already, its not like those books are the first getting into kinks!
So with that said, get the first book and then get this one. Joel Leslie nailed this one and only made it all better!

This is a splendid series with an exceptional narrator

I can’t wait for the next installment.
These stories are so very well written- funny, poignant and smart. I love the quirky Arden juxtaposed with controlling Caspian. I hope Caspian’s history will be addressed and resolved with a better outcome than at the end of this story. I fully support Arden’s view and hope Caspian will come around.
The narrator is superb - effectively bringing the author’s words to life to breathe the characters into being

Amazing

This book is just so well done. It’s not just smut, but a well thought out story with compelling characters.

Funny, can’t wait for book 3

What did you love best about How to Blow It with a Billionaire?

Very funny. Witty. NSFW but ..... hard to let go.

What does Joel Leslie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Love his voice. I look for narration.

not a happy ending

I wanted to hear more of a love story, but the 2nd book left me lacking love. too much back and forth. I DID want them to live happily ever after

Now that I've stopped crying...

I can't believe I have to wait until 2019 to read/listen to the final book! There are still so many questions I have. What roll will Nik play in the next book. Will we learn more about Nathaniel? Ugh! I just don't even know how I want this story to end.

One thing is certain - I'll be waiting for the audio version (or at least I hope I can wait that long) because Joel Leslie was magic! I've listen to him before, and although I liked his reading style, for me this was his absolute best. He brought the story to life for me. I laughed out loud and cried real tears at the end. Not once was I even the slightest bit bored. I loved every word.

The story was so well written and Mr. Leslie was the perfect narrator. I couldn't imagine it being someone else. 5 stars love love love!!

Brilliant!

This audio, this story. these words, are possibly the most brilliant I've ever heard or read.

great story

the stoty was GREAT. the the narrator was very good too I sure hope this wasn't the end of the story

sniff

Joel did a f'g FABULOUS job narrating this book. I am a big fan of his. He brings the characters to life.

The Narrator

How to Blow it with a Billionaire was brought to life by the narrators dedication to the characters and the nuances of their emotions. Joel Leslie was brilliant. Well done.

Great book again, just like the first in the trilogy

Really enjoyed this book ..just wish I’d realised it was a trilogy when I bought the first one as I now need to wait a few months for the final book.

It’s like 50 shades, but m/m, and alluding to BDSM rather than it actually happening. It’s got the tortured mysterious love interest with intimacy issues and the young open character in the process of finding their place in the world. All the ups and downs and emotional development you want to draw you completely into the book and their relationship.

The writing is really good and the narration excellent so I listened to it all pretty much in one sitting. It’s better than pretty much every romance novel I’ve listened to in m/f or m/m genres, and I’ve listened to way over 1000 books.

Joel Leslie is an especially good narrator when doing British accents so this series suits him perfectly.

Got a book hangover now and no idea what to listen to next as all I want is the final book in this series...

Brilliant

The best audio book I have ever listens to, can't wait for the third and final book in this series.

amazing amazing amazing...

Enjoyed this more than the first. Further development or Arden and Caspian. Even Ellery who to be honest got on my nerves in the first book but who I grew to love so subtly it actually took me by surprise at the end. There is a bit of a chunk where Caspian and Arden are apart which, if I'm honest I found frustrating, but I still love the story and the characters and it's definitely one of my favourites. I cannot wait for part 3 and hope it brings together our boys no holds barred at last as the cliffhanger on this one was painful. But I trust the author fully to make the finale worth waiting for. I love that both Arden and Caspian are so humanly flawed, that the author makes your opinion of who is right or who you empathise with sway back and forth. It's so realistic and enjoyable. Arden isn't a do-all good-all flawless thing he messes up and he knows it but he muddles through like we all do. And I think Caspian, although it's not told from his perspective comes across clearly how desperately he wants to be open and loved but is too scared to let himself. So real and flawed and wonderful. Hurry up part 3 please :)

I need more!

please give me more and Joel Leslie please please I need more !!!!!!!!! please !!!!

More brilliant writing and an intuitive performance by the narrator

How can you leave it like this, Alexis Hall? And how can we possibly wait to see what life has in store for Arden and Caspian?

As the layers peel away we see more of the tormented soul of Caspian and realise that his redemption can only lie with Arden, who by the way, completely ‘gets’ him.

I love Alexis Hall’s brilliant, intelligent writing. He has me giggling and crying in turn at the slightly gouache Arden, a beautiful boy, brought up in an unconventional home but who has a deeply empathetic, non judgmental nature.

I cannot wait for the third and final instalment in this deeply moving but very dark story. Loved it Alexis Hal. And, BTW, I don’t know whether you had any input in choosing your voice actor but he’s superb.
