Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins

Publisher's Summary

For two years I held Vance Winters off...right up until the day my fiancé dumped me for his mistress and Vance kissed me senseless.

Vance Winters was six feet of dangerously beautiful mayhem. Wicked blue eyes, tousled blond hair, and golden skin covered in tattoos. Trouble. I should have taken one look and run in the other direction. I should have told him to take his job offer and shove it up his tight, perfect ass. I should have done a lot of things.

I won't lie. One touch of Vance's mouth to mine was better than all four years with my ex. I was tempted. So very tempted. Tempted, but not stupid. How many women had I escorted from his bed in the two years I'd worked for him? Vance didn't do commitment and I'd been tossed aside one time too many. There was no way I was going to throw my broken heart at his feet, even if I suspected the orgasms might be worth it.

Then she showed up. Rosalie. Only three months old, and she changed both of our lives in an instant. I could resist Vance when he was just my billionaire playboy boss. But could I keep my heart safe as I watched him fall in love with his daughter?

The Billionaire's Promise is a standalone romance with a happy ending. It's the fourth book in the Scandals of the Bad Boy Billionaires series and reveals more about the notorious men of the Winters family. You can listen to it on its own, everything you need to know is explained, but once you get a taste of the Winters men you'll want to listen to the others.

AN ADDICTIVE & COMPELLING CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Magnolia's business degree didn't quite cover all that her new boss Vance wanted her to do.. because the drool-worthy charismatic Playboy Billionaire businessman/Artist had a long list of things he expected from his new PA.. and her first job of the day was to get rid of his random nightly hookups. And, over the course of a couple of years, Magnolia did her job well, Vance and her became good friends, she resisted Vance's very 'abundant' charms and continued to date her loser/user boyfriend. Vance drank to drown the bloody memories created by his parent's brutal murders when he was only eight, and then his Aunt and Uncle's equally brutal murders shortly after. Vance's drinking eventually became an addiction and when one of his hookups nearly died of an overdose suddenly things weren't ok anymore.

Vance went to rehab and came back a changed man.. exercise had replaced the drink - however what was still there was his attraction to the off-limits Magnolia.. but then she became single again and Vance watched and waited for his chance. But before he could make his move Fate came a knocking at his door with a three month old daughter Vance never knew he had (no spoilers as it was in the summary) and seduction was lost to diapers, bottles, whispers and his tiny daughter's well-being. They'd become best friends and Magnolia quickly stepped in so together they learned how to be parents - however Vance still desperately wanted Magnolia and eventually he took his chance and their easy chemistry ignited. But a few words from the wrong people had Magnolia doubting, disillusioned and distraught because, after confronting Vance about his/her feelings, there was only one option left.

A very enjoyable well-paced storyline with a slow to develop romance. They were both well developed characters - Magnolia was in denial about her true feelings for Vance and he was far too cautious when it came to choosing the right time for seduction. It was sweet and funny to hear how Vance and Magnolia coped with baby Rosie's needs. There were tender scenes, passion, humor, sex, character development as Vance goes from manwhore to devoted dad, there's a manipulative ex and a little bit of angst in a love story that was primarily told from Magnolia's POV. Good narration by both narrators.. but I wish more chapters were done by Beckett Greylock who has a sexy swoon-worthy voice.

Worth a credit? I think this has been my favorite love story from the Winters family so far.. and YES creditworthy.

great story

loved it..great story. .fairy tales are awesome. let you get away from the world love

What a Sexy Guy!

Ms Layne can certainly write, Vance has been the sexiest Alpha male so far in this series. His bedroom skills would be to die for an experience like that. Even thou he had issues like some ordinary people do, he came thru it like a trooper. Loved the addition of the dog in this one. Magnolia was a very likable female, just took her a while to see where her life should go. Very hot sex.

Good

I like the story but I just hate how the female just assume things or do not talk things out. To me its immature. Such low self esteem they fill not worthy or capable of taking thing as a grown up.

The Best

The best book so far in the series - Can’t wait to listen to the next book.

Perfect man too late to stop his mouth from . . .

Vance Winters was the hot guy with major issues. Issues that carried a lot of baggage and pain that pulled him in directions that were no not healthy for him or to produce a healthy relationship. But somehow he was able to form a very healthy relationship with the right woman. Its just that perfect relationship was friends only.

Magnolia was hurt, sad and wanting so much to have that connection with someone or someones. She was so in to the fact of love and family that she mad at the wrong person, loved the wrong person, and held on for too long. Maggie was strong, independent, and wanting to love and be loved. Her beginning may have influenced some of her decisions.

I did enjoy CJ and Beckett in this one. I still had moments where female sounded like a male but the narration was smooth and pleasant. No major plus or minus to the story.

A great love story💕♥️❤️

This is a great love story with enough steamy sex and warm compassion that it will melt your heart. A must read!
