Tempting the Billionaire by Jessica LemmonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Tempting the Billionaire by Jessica Lemmon is NOT what I expected and I was very pleasantly surprised. I expected light-hearted and fluffy and it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, it's not a sobbing, emotional wreck causing book, it is witty and touching, but there are some really intense scenes that will have your heart in a vice grip.
Crickitt is still getting past her failed marriage and dealing with those wounds. Meanwhile, Shane has been on autopilot for the past few years, going through the motions while working tirelessly at making his company a huge success. When Shane sees Crickitt sobbing at a bar he feels for her. He wants to help her. Fix whatever problem she has so that she doesn't have to cry any more. This is the point where you begin to realize you want a Shane all for yourself!
She angled her head to glance up at him. His jaw was slightly shadowed with stubble, his eyes shrouded by thick lashes. He looked dark and dangerous, and it was all too easy to imagine the scrape of that five o’clock shadow against her neck.Up next...

Why hadn’t he just winked and pointed his finger like a gun while saying, Ball in your court, babe? What was he thinking, trying to pull off that Pierce Brosnan crap? He should have kissed her or not, and left it at that.
-Shane
A goofy smile stretched across his face as he closed his eyes and watched flashes of what they’d done together this evening on his eyelids.
-Shane
She stood statue still, fingers curled over her lips even though she couldn’t remember lifting her hand to her mouth. He didn’t come here because of work. Her eyes filled with tears. He’d come for her. Because he loved her.
