Kinks of a Billionaire by Eva Winners

 




Title: Kinks of a Billionaire
Author: Eva Winners
Genre: Billionaire Romance
Tropes: Friends to Lovers/Who Did This To You
Release Date: April 26, 2024


BLURB

Royce Ashford.
The hottest man I’d ever met.
The first man I’d fallen for.

I’ve had a crush on my best friend’s older brother for as long as I could remember. His charm and sex appeal could seduce a saint, never mind a sex-crazed woman.

With his cocky grin, those broad shoulders, and that filthy mouth, he was a heartbreaker in a leather jacket. And a leading man in every single one of my naughty fantasies.

The first time I kissed him, we ended up locked in the friend zone forever. Apparently my smooching skills left much to be desired. In my defense, I was too young and inexperienced.

But I grew up and totally got over him.

Until my engagement fell apart and Royce swooped in like a prince charming, saving me.

One tiny problem.

I was falling for him all over again. My lustful imagination, raging hormones and accidental glimpses of Royce’s nakedness weren’t helping. Neither were the rumors of Royce’s kinky tendencies.

But I refuse to be a footnote in Royce’s life. If we were doing this, we’d do it all.

We’d go all the way.

Kinks of a Billionaire is a complete STANDALONE. No other books need to be read prior to this.

My Review
5 Stars
Kinks of a Billionaire by Eva Winners is book 5 in the Billionaire Kings Series.  This is the story of Royce and Willow.  Willow and Royce shared 1 kiss when Willow was younger but due to the age different they ended up in the friend zone lane.  Royce has a particular taste in the bedroom that he didn't feel he really could share fully with Willow.  Willow ends up in an abusive relationship that leaves her expecting a baby.  This starts their journey.  This is a interconnecting series so it does add to your enjoyment if you have read the previous books.  But with that said this can be a standalone book I thought.

A Vengeful Occasion by Kristy Marie

 


A Vengeful Occasion by Kristy Marie is now live!


 



URBAN LEGEND.
RUTHLESS ATTORNEY.
HATEFUL BILLIONAIRE.

Tobias Hale is surrounded by rumors, most of which are true.

Underneath that three-piece suit is a cold, callous man who rules the
courtroom with an iron tongue. Judges hate him with the same
passion he hates me.

He hasn't always been that way, though.

We were once star-crossed lovers who sat by the water's edge--me 
wearing his jacket and him dreaming about a future far away from
my family--a place where I wasn't American royalty, only his queen.

I never thought I would see him again.

Years later, a chance encounter brings us face to face.

The sweet and compassionate man I once knew is long gone. The
man before me now is a vicious and calculated billionaire.

Once upon a time, he was my fairytale prince.

Now, he has become the legend everyone knows as
Tennyson--my husband, my killer.

Deranged. Psychotic. Immoral. After breaking my heart and publicly humiliating me, I vow to forget his existence. He has other plans, though, and vows to make certain I don’t. The only one I can turn to for help is a man I thought to be my enemy. Drew’s best friend Sebastian who claims to be my brother. He promises me security and protection. But no one can protect me from Drew. The faster I run, the more he chases. The harder I struggle, the tighter his grip becomes. My enemy. My stalker. My villain. It’s wrong, but I can’t stop myself from craving his rough touch, filthy words, and the dark promise of pleasure he gives me. They say the truth will set you free, but ours didn't do that. It locked us inside the cage and tossed away the key.   **This is book 2 in the Oakmount Elite series and is NOT a standalone. This must be read after The Wallflower. Please be sure to check the author note at the start of the book if you have triggers. This book contains dark subject matter, sexual situations, and questionable morals.** About JL Beck:  
  1. Beck writes steamy romance that’s unapologetic, meaning it makes no apologies for the way it rips you open and makes you crave more. Her heroes are alphas who take what they want, and she pairs them with heroines that bring them to their knees.

She loves writing about darkness, passion, suspense, and of course, steam. Leaving her readers gasping and asking what the hell just happened is only one of her many tricks. Her books range from morally grey to dark and spicey but always end with a happily ever after. She loves to write across numerous tropes, but her favorite is enemies to lovers. She started her writing career in the summer of 2014 and hasn’t stopped since. She lives in Wisconsin and is a mom to two, a wife, and likes to act as a literary agent part-time.   Visit her website for more info: www.beckromancebooks.com   Connect with JL Beck: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJLBeck/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authorjlbeck/ Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@authorjlbeck Amazon: http://amzn.to/2srbge9 Bookbub: http://bit.ly/2tOVZl8 Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/8425041.J_L_Beck Unapologetic Romance Book Club FB Group: http://bit.ly/2sWljZG     

My Review
5 Stars
The Wildflower by JL Beck is the second book in the Oakmount Elite Duet.  This continues the story of Drew Marshall and Maybell Jacobs.  Their story started in the previous book 'The Wallflower'.  So, you will need to read that book before starting this one.  This book started right where we left off and just kept me on their journey.  I enjoyed this dark romance and can't wait for more in this series along with this author.
