It was so easy to get wrapped up in this story, this couple’s journey, their self doubts and their growing feelings; which made it so easy to absolutely love The Billionaire Next Door (although if I’m being technical it should have been The Billionaire on Top of Me…LOL)! ~ Slick, Guilty Pleasures 

Description:
Can’t Buy Me Love

It’s Tag Crane’s job to be the life of the party. Traveling from one exotic locale to another is just part of running the luxurious Crane Hotel empire. But even paradise isn’t perfect. Devising a new business strategy is keeping Tag up at night-and so is the Great Dane barking at all hours in the apartment below his. To muzzle the problem, Tag charges downstairs . . . right into the most beautiful, blond distraction he’s ever seen.

Dog-sitting by day, bartending by night. It’s not exactly the life Rachel Foster dreamed of. But when Tag Crane rushes in, all mountain-man shoulders and obscenely sexy smile, needing her help for the Crane Hotels, it’s a fantasy come true. What’s the harm in a fun no-strings fling? Only a fool would give her heart to a billionaire player like Tag-until suddenly the one man who can’t be caught is the one flirting with forever . . .

Holy sex on a stick! Jessica Lemmon had me with her inspiration for her hero in The Billionaire Next Door even though it makes me feel like such a dirty old woman. High on fun, flirting, and sexy times and low on drama I loved every minute of this book.

Taking care of one of her regular bar customer’s Great Dane and living in his luxury high rise for a pretty nice paycheck is just what Rachel Foster needs so she can get completely back on her feet after her ex-boyfriend screwed her over royally. Meeting the upstairs neighbor Tag Crane becomes one hell of a bonus when she offers up her expertise to redesign one of his bars to be more efficient and he takes her to Hawaii so she can get a better feel for the place she’s helping him redesign.

There was much I loved about this book including the way these two met, the animosity between them even when sparks were flying all around, and the way neither one could stop thinking about the other one after that first encounter. With Tag being considered a player (but one with a conscience) and Rachel not trusting men and having a bit of a self esteem crisis they are an unlikely pair. The fact that Rachel doesn’t know who he is at first and even after she finds out she fights him every time he tries to buy her anything including dinner makes him realize she’s not only independent, but not after him for his money or what he can do for her. I liked that Rachel challenged Tag and that she often confused him and that was unusual for someone like Tag. It kept him in check, it made him have to work for her, and it made him realize that sometimes the best things are not always what is easiest.

Their relationship built at a good pace allowing Rachel to see all sides of Tag and to realize there was more to him than what he shows the world, they built trust, and there was no doubt that physically they were well matched.

I enjoyed Rachel’s spunky attitude, her need for independence and her business sense, but most of all I appreciated that she realized Tag was special. Tag impressed me with his patience, his understanding, and his ability to see that Rachel’s brain was just as sexy as her outside package. I’ll just add that in my eyes Tag is one of those perfect romance book heroes.

It was so easy to get wrapped up in this story, this couple’s journey, their self doubts and their growing feelings; which made it so easy to absolutely love The Billionaire Next Door (although if I’m being technical it should have been The Billionaire on Top of Me…LOL)!

EXCERPT

“Why is it you look like you’re thinking something sinister?” he asked, that eyebrow arcing higher. “And don’t lie to me, Dimples. I have a sixth sense.” She watched his slow smile, white teeth appearing as his trimmed beard parted. Her nether regions buzzed like she’d sat on a vibrating phone.

“I’m surprised . . .” she started, feeling daring. Must be the Kona coffee.

“Because?”

“Because I expected you to induct me into the Mile High Club by now. This is my first private flight.” She looked at him through her lashes, her coy smile in place.

Tag wore an all-out grin, which made her inordinately pleased. Where she was concerned, he wasn’t immune. And she liked that. A lot.

“Excuse me.” Smoothly, he shut his laptop, stood, and walked from cabin to cockpit.

Okay. That was interesting. She hadn’t expected him to leave. Maybe she didn’t have the same power over him as he had over her.

She turned to look out the window, but the nighttime landscape was nothing but blackness. She imagined a sea of clouds and blue skies once the sun rose, anticipating being someplace where the high was above freezing. She wondered what the temperature was on—

“Let’s go.” Her hand was snatched a moment later as Tag pulled her out of her seat and led her to the bedroom.

“Wait,” she said through her laughter as she hustled after him. “What are you doing?”

In the bedroom, he released her, closed the door, and whipped off his shirt. She gasped, her eyes eating up his tanned muscles and bulky arms.

“Making you a member.” He caught the back of her head in his hand and kissed her. She melted beneath his touch. She was hopelessly attracted to him. Just an absolute goner.

When she caught a breath of air, she said, “Where did you go?”

“Told the pilot to take the long way.”

“There’s a longer way to Hawaii?”

“There is now.”
