Editoral Review
Bad Billionaire by Julie Kriss is a contemporary romance novel that was first published on October 19, 2016. Kriss is an American author who has written several bestselling romance novels.
Bad Billionaire is a part of her bestselling Men of Manhattan series, which features steamy romantic stories of powerful men and confident women. The novel tells the story of the infamous billionaire playboy, Liam Maxwell, and the beautiful young journalist, Sierra Stone.
Liam has always lived his life on his own terms, never caring about anyone else’s opinion, until he meets Sierra, who is determined to uncover the secrets of his playboy lifestyle. As Sierra delves deeper into Liam’s world, she realizes that he is not what she thought he was, and they both begin to develop feelings for each other.
However, the road to their happily ever after is not smooth, as they both have to confront their past demons and the pressures of their respective careers. Kriss has crafted a well-written love story with relatable characters and conflicts that keep the reader engaged.
Her writing is smooth and easy to follow, making it a quick and enjoyable read. The author does an excellent job of building up the chemistry between the two main characters, making their romance feel natural and not forced.
One of the strengths of the novel is the character development. Liam and Sierra are both complex and flawed characters that grow throughout the story.
Liam’s bad boy image is slowly peeled away to reveal a deeply caring and vulnerable man, while Sierra learns to let go of her insecurities and trust herself more. The supporting characters are also well-described and add depth to the story.
The pacing of the book is also well-done, with enough action and tension to keep the reader hooked. The author has also incorporated some interesting cultural issues like the pressures of the media and societal expectations, making the story more relevant and thought-provoking.
One of the few weaknesses of the book is that some of the conflicts are resolved too easily, making the story feel a bit rushed. However, this is a minor flaw that does not detract from the overall quality of the book.
Overall, Bad Billionaire is a great read for fans of contemporary romance. It’s a well-written and engaging love story with well-developed characters, relevant themes and a satisfying ending.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a steamy, romantic read with relatable characters. Rating: 4/5
