Certifiable genius Mari Hart has spent her life focusing on school and getting ahead. Freshly out of school at age twenty, with two doctorates in hand and no idea what to do next, Mari decides to allow herself one night to be young, something she’s never done before. She’s smart, and she’s responsible—what could go wrong? 

But at Florida’s hot, kinky new nightclub she sees something that she shouldn’t, and even her incredible intelligence can’t save her—but billionaire Alexios Kosta can. One of the world’s richest men—one with dark secrets of his own—Alexi has the power to make all of Mari’s problems go away. 

The catch? To obtain full protection, Mari must become Alexi’s wife. And it isn’t long before their public displays of affection spark something far hotter than either could ever have imagined… 

This is book two of the A Virgin, A Billionaire and a Marriage series. It is a category length novel that stands alone- no cliffhangers!

My Review:

Mari Hart is a certifiable genius who already at the age of twenty-one already has two doctorates on her resume. But being smart has always had its drawn backs and that includes not having the fun that she should have at such a young age. To fix that Mari does something she has never done before, allow herself on night to be young. Which shouldn’t be a problem, but the minute she steps inside a nightclub, her life takes a turn that she has never experienced before. Now she finds herself running away from the people that will not stop following her until they kill her to the very same man that will do anything in his power to protect her.

For billionaire, Alexios Kosta, power and money come easily to him. He is not only a very powerful business man, but he also has the looks that attract just anyone that come near him. But even though he has power, his past has prevented him from moving on. When Mari comes rushing out from the nightclub and into his car, he has no choice but to speed away. Soon he finds out everything about her and the need to protect her is greater than he has ever experienced. Now he has to stop himself from hurting her while protecting her at the same time.

I really enjoyed reading the book, it was easy and fast to read. The interaction between the main characters blossoms throughout the story which made it impossible to stop reading. Mari is smart and at times her relationship with Alexi is hilarious! We do get to find out secrets about the characters that bring twists and turns to the story as well. Now the story was great, but the ending felt rushed for me. I would have liked to have read more about their future. All in all, the story was great so if you’re looking for a fast read then you might want to check this book out. : )

Sign: Sagittarius

He's the perfect kind of trouble...

Zoe Davenport is on her way to a perfect, idyllic, private resort, where there's no ex-fiancé and definitely no public scandal involving said ex-fiancé. But one look at the exceptionally sexy resort owner, and Zoe wonders if she's escaped scandal just long enough to land herself in even hotter water...

Except that Ryder Nash isn't exactly a stranger. He and Zoe used to live next door to each other. She was the sweet little temptation who couldn't stand him-the bad boy with a loud car and a new girl every weekend. What Zoe doesn't know is that all those years ago, her father paid Ryder off...to keep him away from her.

And if Ryder gives into the fiery attraction that rages between them-even for a moment-he'll lose everything all over again...

My Review:

Not having read any other works by the author before, I was impressed with the story plot and the writing. I was captivated with the characters’ backgrounds that I just had to keep reading until the very end. So far I’ve read a couple books from the Men of the Zodiac series, and I haven’t been disappointed at all, so I highly recommend reading them as well. 

As for this particular book, it begins by introducing Zoe Davenport, she has the perfect life thanks to her father that has been the one able to control it ever since she was little. Now after ending her very public engagement, she wants to get away from everyone involved (including her family) until news of her cheating fiancée disappear from the media. Soon she finds herself being whisked away to a private resort under a different name to secure her privacy. Little did she know that the owner of the resort was non other than teenage crush, Ryder Nash. Now she has to deal with seeing him all the time while sharing a private villa together. But as the two start to spend more time together, the more she wants to throw everything out the window and actually pursue a relationship with Ryder, but she can’t help to feel that Ryder is hiding something from her. And she is willing to do anything to find out what that secret is. 

Ryder Nash didn’t grew up with much, while he was in high school trying to make ends meet, he was secretly wishing to get out of the town that always looked down on him. But when he caught his neighbor looking at him, he knows right away that he can’t deny the attraction that he has towards Zoe, but before he could make a move on her, someone gets in the way and that is when his departure comes in handy, while making himself a billionaire years later. Now he has to get ready to open his new resort and wants everything to be perfect for the opening day, but when he sees Zoe arrive everything changes. Soon he has to find a way to keep himself away from her or risk losing everything that he has worked so hard to get. 

From the start it is evident that both of the main characters have had difficult pasts, but having already met before takes their chemistry to the next level. I personally liked Ryder, he is your typical badass character with a soft side to him that made him likable. There were times when I felt that the story was a bit slow, but as I kept reading on it got so much better. The ending was great, it tied the story nicely which I liked. Overall, I recommend the story to those that want to read a quick romantic story full of surprises and steamy scenes. :)
