The Billionaire

If you're looking for a fun bit of escapism, The Billionaire will do the trick. The angst is pretty low, and there's enough steam to fog up all the windows. It's an age-gap romance, which is one of my favorite tropes in the genre. Jenner and Jo have loads of sexual chemistry, and I liked the dynamic between the whole group (Jenner and his brothers and Jo and her friends). They all get along really well despite the obvious differences in their lifestyles and ages. The drawback for me (and I can't believe I'm saying this) is the sheer amount of steam in this book. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against a detailed sexy scene or two or three... The problem is after so many, it becomes repetitive, and there was a lot of it between these two. I feel like a few less scenes with the others spaced out a little more would've worked out better and had more of an impact, at least for me. With so much sex, I got the attraction between Jenner and Jo, but I had a hard time getting the feelings. Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige gave voice to Jo and Jenner, and they did a terrific job. Kelsey Navarro voices Jo so well that I could just picture this girl about to graduate college, and Tim Paige makes Jenner sound just as sexy and arrogant as he's described. What it comes down to is I liked this story. I didn't love it, and I feel like my struggle to see the love story here had a lot to do with that. Nevertheless, I did enjoy getting away from reality for a while as the narrators carried me away into bookland, Marni Mann writes with a fast-paced, upbeat style that works for the low angst level. Oh! And I have to say that I love what she did with the epilogue. It was just perfect.

The Billionaire by Marni Mann is the second book in the Dalton Brothers series and a standalone listen. This is an age gap story that has lots of sex. There is more chemistry and details in this book compared to the Lawyer. I loved the scene in the Bakery with the scrumptious sounding baked goods -- especially the Blueberry Cake. Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige performed this book and were great! I really thought that they brought the characters to life with their voices. Thank you #NetGalley and #Dreamscape Media for allowing me to listen to this pre-release audiobook. I really did enjoy it!

This is the second book in The Dalton Brothers series. This is a series of interconnected stories. Jo and Jenner's forbidden romance and age gap story is sizzling hot. The characters are well developed. The storyline has some interesting twists. Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro did a good job with the narration. I really love Navarro's voice. Looking forward to listening to The Single Dad, Ford's story, the next book in the series. If you like erotic romance, this series is for you.
