Publisher's Summary

"On your knees...."

Saint Jordan Killian Black. 

A gazillionaire with a panty-melting smirk, and a soul as dark as his name. 

I wanted a child. He wanted a willing slave. 

I wanted someone to break me and build me up again.... He wanted no emotions, no connection.

A simple transaction, that's what he said it would be. I needed something in me to shatter, so I could finally live. He promised that he was the one...who'd bring me to the edge.

Show me how it could be between a man and a woman.... Just...you know...no sentiments involved. I thought I was willing to do as he commanded. 

After the nightmare life that I'd led, I hoped that I could walk away with one thing that belonged to me: my own flesh and blood. My baby. That was the deal I had made with the Mafia; I hadn't expected to develop feelings for the father of my child. 

Definitely hadn't meant to fall in love with the man I must betray to get my freedom....

Note: This is Victoria and Saint's story. Features a possessive, snarly billionaire and the woman he'd do anything to keep safe. The Big Bad Billionaire series intertwines with the Arranged Marriage Dark Mafia Romance series. Each book is a stand-alone and promises a pulse-pounding HEA.

Sorry, did not like it at all

I have read other erotica, but this was no good at all. The male speaker was okay, but the female speaker was not good. I do not understand why the female/male have to try to change their voice pattern for the opposite sex character. I guess the person who bought the book is not intelligent enough to tell the difference, even though we can read the written word and tell the difference. Sorry, just really disappointed.....

Big Bad Teddy Bear…Alphahole…hummm…

Victoria is in Pickle…how can she save her bestie from the mafia? By going up against the big bad billionaire who makes her feel all kinds of not so mushy feelings.
After her husband is no longer available to protect her…what next?
He knows she’s playing him. He knows she is lying and keeping secrets yet she still is getting under his skin? It a panty melting experience to hear their tale. It’s so mesmerizing…you will be enraptured in their story faster than you can escape. But don’t fret Lex does not disappoint!
This read is hot, passionate and it’s got all the feels. Hate, love, betrayal…and so much more.

Loved these characters & their story

Recommend you read or listen to this series. Hot, danger, more hot sexy hot hot! Why not?!

HEADACHE!!!The female narrator was just HORRIBE.😫😭

Her male voice made me want to delete the app I swear and I love it so that says a lot. Shane east helped, he is perfect 🥰 other than her, the story was amazing and I love this series!

Big Bad Billionaires, Book 2!!! What a story!!!

Billionaire’s Secret, an Audiobook by L. Steel is the intensely emotional story of Saint and Victoria (Gigi). They have…an agreement….not a relationship. They marry. He is copes with his past with riddles…among other things. She is determined to help….but, there are huge obstacles to both of them…and secrets galore!!! Intense, absorbing, steamy, shocking and dangerous!!! LOVED IT!!!!

This Audiobook was narrated by Shane East and Faye Adele…who were both brilliant!!!! They bring these two characters to life!!! This is especially true for the character of Saint…who is so difficult to portray…they both do so…expertly!!!!

I am volunteering to leave a review for an Advance Reader Copy of this Audiobook.

Steamy Romantic Suspense!

Wow! This story is full of alpha billionaire dominance. And quite steamy. Victoria is forced to spy on Saint. But I think someone is setting these billionaire’s up with the perfect women to tame them. Or it could be that Fate has a wicked sense of humor. Victoria and Saint have to learn to trust each other in order to survive. This one kept me turning the pages well into the night.

The Audible version is brilliant. The narrators, Shane East and Faye Adele, bring the characters to life. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book!

Entertaining

L.Steele is a relatively new author to me as was narrator Faye Adele, although I have listened to numerous books narrated by Shane East whom I could listen to all day, every day. This is Saint Jordan Killian Caldwell and Victoria (Gigi) ‘s story and it was a story that held my attention and which I was drawn into.
From the moment they met, the sparks flew and the chemistry between them sizzles as they struggle with the feelings that they bring out in one another. The banter between them at times is witty and the performance by both narrators was strong. Their voices blended well together and brought the story to life for me.
There were times that I really did not like how Saint treated Gigi (honestly I couldn’t understand how she tolerated it) and if he had done to me what he did to Gigi, I would have walked away.
The Billionaire’s Secret was filled with passion, heat and suspense and there were times that I was on the edge of my seat whilst listening.

Great enemies to lovers and fake marriage romance!

This is the second book in the Big Bad Billionaires. This is a series of interconnected stories, with an ongoing plot. Victoria and Saint's story is a great enemies to lovers, and fake marriage romance. Saint is alpha, dominant, powerful, enigmatic, and sinfully sexy. Victoria is intriguing, and strong. They are a perfect match! I like the brotherhood between the seven. The storyline is original, suspenseful, steamy, and captivating. Impossible to put it down. Shane East and Faye Adele did an amazing job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to more books in the series.

LOVED IT 😍

I have to say I was skeptical about the book. The cover turned me off. But I decided to give it a try after listening to the sample. Anything with Shane East narrating is worth listening to. OMG, his voice 😍. The book is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!! Definitely worth the credit!!! It was funny, steamy, and I LOVED the riddles!! I really enjoyed this book.

It is a hard no for me

Sad that I wasted a credit…they aren’t inexpensive.
Too many fucking fucks to really enjoy the story. Win some, lose some.
Love you Shane East.

A good story

I enjoyed the storyline but found it a bit predictable. Sin was annoying as he kept repeating fuck which became annoying. But I would listen to more in this series.

Saint grew on me

At first I was shouting at Saint telling him what a ahole he is. However as the story went on you could see him softening that’d be his heart not his well you can guess what I mean. Victoria set out to get into Saints life take what she had to and get out but things got complicated along the way. I really enjoyed listening and the ending made me understand Saint really isn’t as hard headed as he makes out he is.

I do love an alphahole

This storyline gets more and more intriguing as the series goes on. With great characters and lots of humour it’s very enjoyable. A fantastic performance from both Faye and Shane.

could have been better

I really struggled to finish the book and get into the story because the female narrator's voice really put me off. she sounded like Anne Robinson off the weakest link when trying to sound male. a real shame.

A billionaire worth of listen

Book 2 in the series. Laxi the author wrote a very detailed story with lots of engaging actions . The actions are captivating and you can’t and won’t want to put it down till the end .
Hero is Saint . Heroine is Victoria. Little by little you see how perfect Saint and Victoria are together. They try to fight the attraction that they have together even though they fight it. This story has everything, love , funny moments and lots of layers

Shane East, Faye Adele Performance was fantastic. They outdid themselves. You were able to get right into the story by their tone.

Hot!

After reading this book when it first came out I knew I had to get the audio book of Saint and Victoria's story. I love that Shane East and Faye Adele bring the characters from the pages of the story alive while you listen to the book. The story it self is fabulous. You can feel the chemistry between the two of them. Strawberries anyone??? That scene was so so hot!. Looking forward to see what is in store for the rest of the Seven. 5* from me.

Hot

Loved the dual narration of Shane East and Faye Adele.

I so wanted to tell Mr Caldwell off, and I started to like him ..
Victoria and Saint, can't stop the pull and chemistry between them. Both a perfect match for each other.
Both have emotional baggage.
Together they are hot.
A great story.
Loved.

Wow wow wow

This one has so much amazing story packed into one delightful book. I love an alpha male and this book delivered in spades. This is an author that knows how to write powerful and interesting characters that also aren’t perfect. This is what I’m after in a billionaire alpha author.

I’m always a little wary with enemies to lovers as I love this trope so much and I’ve seen so many books where it’s missed the mark. This book delivers what it promises and I couldn’t be happier.
