Deal Breaker by Tara Leigh

Release Date: November 14th 2017 by Swerve

Series: Billionaire Bosses #2

Genres: Romance, Contemporary

Nixie Rowland is having a bad day. Rushing home to drown her sorrows in ice cream and reality television, she decides to take a shortcut to the subway where things take a turn for the worst. But Nixie’s bad luck doesn’t end there—the white knight who comes to her rescue is none other than the Dark Knight of Wall Street, a cocky Manhattan mogul whose ego barely fits inside his penthouse. To her horror, Nixie discovers the sizzling attraction between them is off the charts, and rising fast. Spending the night in his bed does nothing to lower the heat… And everything to set her heart on fire.

Nash Knight doesn’t have room in his life, or his heart, for anything beyond one-night stands or casual flings. And he certainly doesn’t make a habit of rescuing damsels in distress. Except that this particular damsel slips beneath his armor, the vulnerability she covers with a false show of bravado hitting him somewhere deep. Nixie is everything he never wanted… And exactly what he needs.

With Nixie on the run from a controlling ex, and Nash trying to salvage a business deal at risk because his conquests in the bedroom are overshadowing his wins in the boardroom, there’s one simple solution for them both: a marriage in name only. But when lust becomes love, will their untamed emotions be a deal breaker?

My Review:

Not having read the first book in the Billionaire Bosses series, I didn’t know what to expect when reading Deal Breaker. At first glance the cover the synopsis completely hooked me in, and after reading the book I can say that I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future. 

At the very beginning we get to see Nash Knight and Nixie Rowland’s first encounter. After being chased by two suspicious looking guys, Nixie is ready to defend herself when Nash comes rushing to her rescue. Not being used to being rescued, Nixie wakes up in Nash’s house after suffering minor injuries. It is when she is ready to go back home that Nash’s protective instinct kicks in and wants to protect her. He doesn’t know that she has been running away from her past, but neither that she know the demos that he works so hard to hide. When Nash is ready to close a deal, he bumps into an obstacle when he is questioned about being single and not settling down. In the world of business everyone still sees him as someone who is not committed and he wants to change that. When he makes a daring proposition to Nixie; a marriage in name only. She doesn’t know what else to say or do, but a marriage will help her save enough money to start a fresh life. Little did she know that her marriage in name only would turn out to be so much more as soon as the two started to get to know each other better. Now it’ll be up to them figure out if taking a change on a relationship is worth the risk or not. 

I very much enjoyed the overall story, it’s evident that both of the characters are still working on their pasts and that has made it difficultly to move forward. Nixie has been trying to escape from an abusive ex-boyfriend and now that she has a good life it has suddenly come back to haunt her. On the other hand, Nash has been through a lot emotionally. He lost his brother and he is able to connect with Nixie as she has lost her parents as well. He is a total alpha male and wants to protect her no matter what which can be sweet and a bit overprotective at times. I liked how their relationship progressed over time and the ending was a sweet. I do wish we could have gotten more on their pasts and the pace felt a bit rushed, but it all still worked in the end. I would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a quick romantic read. :)
