Her desperate financial situation takes a turn for the worse, but a miracle comes in the form of billionaire Simon Hudson. He offers her a solution that she can’t refuse, but she’s hesitant to accept help from a stranger.
Meanwhile, Simon is a reclusive billionaire who prefers creating computer games to mingling with the elite. When he meets Kara, something about her touches him in ways he’s never experienced before.
For over a year, Simon silently watches over her, but he can’t deny his desire to possess her any longer. When Kara finds herself in a dangerous situation, Simon steps up to help her, not realizing that in saving her, he might be saving himself too.
This is an erotic romance full of steamy love scenes, graphic language, and lots of emotion.

Editoral Review
J.S. Scott’s “The Billionaire’s Obsession ~ Simon” brings readers into the world of the ultra-wealthy through the eyes of the titular character. Released on February 27, 2013, this novel falls into the modern romance genre, with a focus on the themes of love, wealth, and power dynamics.
Simon Hudson is a billionaire businessman who has everything he could ever want, except for love. He meets Kara Foster, a hardworking waitress, and becomes obsessed with her.
Despite their different backgrounds, the two begin a passionate romance that quickly becomes complicated by Simon’s wealth and the attention it brings. Scott’s writing style is easy to read and engaging, with a focus on character development that allows the reader to empathize with both Simon and Kara.
The pacing of the plot is well done, with enough drama and action to keep the reader invested without feeling rushed. One of the strengths of the novel is the exploration of power dynamics in romantic relationships, specifically when one partner is much wealthier than the other.
Scott tackles this issue head-on, showing the challenges that arise when love is complicated by money. However, the novel is not without its flaws.
One of the major weaknesses is the lack of diversity among the characters. The entire cast, including minor characters, are all wealthy, white, and conventionally attractive.
This exclusion of other identities feels narrow-minded and limiting. Overall, J.S. Scott’s “The Billionaire’s Obsession ~ Simon” is a captivating romance novel that explores the complexities of love and wealth.
While it lacks diversity, the book provides an engaging story that is sure to please fans of the modern romance genre. I recommend this book to those who enjoy reading contemporary romance novels and those interested in exploring power dynamics within romantic relationships.
The book’s exploration of money and love is relevant in today’s society and is sure to spark interesting conversations among its readers. I give this book a rating of 4/5 based on its engaging plot and thought-provoking themes.
