The New Billionaire Boys Club novel by the New York Times bestselling author.
The Billionaire Boys Club is a secret society. Six men of astonishing wealth. But there’s one thing money can’t buy. When it comes to love, success doesn’t come so easily…
Jonathan Lyons. Playboy, billionaire, and adventurer, he lives life on the edge. When he hears that his mentor, Dr. Phineas DeWitt, had a secret journal that leads to a legendary artifact, Jonathan takes action. It stirs his blood, but it comes with a heady challenge: DeWitt’s daughter Violet. She has what Jonathan needs. And she’s not giving it up it to the man who broke her heart.
Violet is Jonathan’s weakness—he’s still in love despite their volatile breakup a decade ago. But Violet’s memories have a sharper edge. She’s never forgiven him for abandoning her. Or so she thought. When Jonathan’s attentions turn seductive, she’s in danger of falling for him all over again. And she can’t help but wonder…does he really want her, or just what she's hiding?
Romancing the Billionaire was my first book by Jessica Clare, and I’m sure glad I did. It is book five in the Billionaire Boys Club, and can be read as a standalone, but I will definitely be checking out the other books in this series. Jonathan Lyons is the billionaire in question, and reconnects with his ex-girlfriend Violet DeWitt following the death of her father and Jonathan’s mentor Dr. Phineas DeWitt. Phineas sends the two on an adventure, and the sparks fly from there. This is a second chance love story, brought together by tragedy and a push from the grave.
Violet’s life has not been what everyone believes, and I admired her strength and fortitude. She was a strong, independent woman who gave as good as she got. Jonathan realizes he has always loved Violet, and I enjoyed the way he tried to show her how he really felt. The adventure orchestrated by Phineas was engaging and interesting, and it was nice to watch Violet and Jonathan try and find their new normal. I loved the ending, and am definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.
