The fun and the angst continues with BILLIONAIRE WITH A TWIST, part 2! Book buddies, I just need the next part like oxygen.
MY OPINION
Joyous and
bittersweet, this part made me smile non-stop and it also squeezed a couple of
emotional tears out of me. It was exhilarating to share that moment of artistic
spark with Ally when she got her idea for the bourbon campaign. I loved that
moment.
She and
Hunter are going through a rough patch, she's reeling from jealousy and
constantly battling unfair treatment at work so her emotions boil to a
poisonous level. That made me cringe in fear of what would happen to her
because of her outburst!
About Hunter,
I think this man is seriously hot, not
only for his looks, but also because of his family legacy and the hardworking
love he holds for his land and company.
In this
second part, there is loads of fun, heat, creativity and backstabbing too. I
loved the steamy times, the very engaging work Ally does, the allure around the
historical and human meaning around the Knox bourbon company, and all the
misunderstandings and tribulations.
That's why
that ending was so heart-breaking. I can't imagine how they will recover from
that punch in the gut, but I certainly want to find out.

He’s dirty – no chaser.
Billionaire Hunter Knox hired me to save his family bourbon business: I’ve won the big pitch, but now trouble is only just beginning. I’m on a tightrope trying to keep my career from crashing out like a coed after a dozen jaeger shots, and I’ve made it clear to Hunter, our sexy one-night fling can't be repeated.
So what does the guy do? Turns around and starts dating my sister.
Pour me a double.

READY FOR AN EXCERPT?
My finger hovered over the button as I considered what to send him next.
I
briefly considered a topless pic before discarding that idea; if
someone from work ever found our dirty texts, I could claim someone else
had sent them from my phone, but how that hypothetical someone had got
their hands on a topless shot of me would be much harder to explain
away.
I
filed that idea away for a day in the future when I worked at a company
where my colleagues weren’t untrustworthy sexist shitheads, and sent
‘miss u’ instead.
I immediately regretted it.
Not
because it wasn’t true, but because it wasn’t sexy. And since our night
together, Hunter and I had been keeping our conversations strictly
sexy, and far, far away from feelings territory.
The phone rang.
Shit, had that been too much? Was he calling to say I should back off? Had he rethought things completely?
Calm the fuck down, I told myself sternly. You sent him a two word text, not a dozen roses. It’s not a big deal.
I answered the phone. “Hey.”
“Hey, Ally.” I could hear the smile in his voice. “It’s good to actually talk to you. I’ve missed you too.”
I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding.
“So, how’s it going over there?”
“Oh, you know, a complete madhouse. So, the usual.”
“Oh yeah?”
“My
boss is calling every fifteen minutes, the editing team can’t find any
of the stable footage, Sandra keeps having to ice her hand to stop it
cramping up…” I trailed off, and then laughed. “How do you do that?”
He sounded confused. “Do what?”
“Make it all seem so manageable. So okay. Just by listening.”
“One of my secret ninja powers,” he informed me, deadpan.
I raised an eyebrow. “Got any others you’d care to show me?”
“Oh,
I’ve shown them to you,” he drawled, and even though it was only his
voice over a phone line, I blushed fire-engine red. “And you’ve shown me
a few as well.”
I
eyed the door, toying with an idea. I couldn’t hear anyone rushing my
way with an urgent development…I rose swiftly and locked it. “Care to
see if those powers work over the phone?”
I
knew exactly the face he would be making right now, that slow-spreading
sweet honey grin as he took in the meaning of my words. “I surely
would.”
