This picks up where A Prince of Smoke and Mirrors left off. Lexi Byrne, a country girl from Nebraska, and Nicolai Romanov, royal billionaire, who married yesterday evening are trying to work out how they will stay married for a full year. Nicolai married Lexi to avoid having to marry the daughter of a Russian mafia boss, Demyan Volkov, who is now planning on his revenge.
Blair Babylon writes billionaire romance with adventure, and in this book so far, we have the romance and I’m sure that upcoming books will be giving us the adventure. Well written with great characters they are fun to read and are an escape from all our more mundane lives. Can’t wait for book 3!
I was given an ARC of the book by the author through BookFunnel, and this is my honest opinion.
Blair Babylon writes intricate and interconnected series; not just a story but a saga that once you start reading you will not want to stop. And so, with this first book in the Billionaire Sanctuary series we are introduced to Lexi Byrne, a young woman who thought she was getting married. But as she approaches the altar, she finds out her fiancé is not who he’s been pretending he is. Now ditched by him, his family, and all her supposed friends she is alone in Las Vegas. Wearing her wedding dress since she has nothing but the clothes she has on, she starts busking for a few dollars as a statue in front of a hotel like building.
Nicolai Romanov, who is related to the deposed and murdered Tsar of Russia – though he wants no part of Russia and its politics, is traveling with Harry and Megan (!) to a mutual friend’s bachelor party being held at the Las Vegas Billionaire Sanctuary. As they and their security detail are moving toward the entrance, Nico sees a woman in white, who catches his attention. This is the start of a compelling, exciting, and interesting set up for book 1 of this series. Blair writes contemporary adventure romances which always have a believable plot and intertwine current political and social events into it. None of her main series are short so there are always several books that end with a development that hooks you into the next book. I find that I learn a lot of new things when reading Blair’s books, and her research is always spot on. She likes to write about billionaires, which I find a bit fascinating since I, and probably most other readers, fall far below that level of income. But I love reading about them, and this first book in the series is no different- giving us a look into the lives of the rich and famous. Cannot wait for book 2!
I received an ARC of the book from the author through BookFunnel and this is my honest opinion.
This boxset is Wulfram’s and Rae’s story. Complex and compelling, this set is the 2nd of Blair Babylon’s Billionaire’s in Disguise series. The characters are well developed and are true to life. Set in the American Southwest, the descriptions are very well done giving the reader the feeling that they are actually there. One of my favorite reads, Wulff and Rae are everything a reader hopes for in a Contemporary romance, with a complex background on both main characters and great secondary characters also. Not just a romance but lots of action too. Once you start reading you will be glad that you have the entire series available to continue reading this excellent series.
I have read everything that Blair Babylon has written, and love all of the books. But my first read was Arthur and Genevieve’s books, which is really the second set of books in the series. Which took me to the first books in the series giving Casimir and Roxanne’s story. Putting them altogether into a box set is brilliant! If you enjoy alpha males, that are tall, handsome, and very wealthy you need get this bundle. And prepare to be engrossed in the world that Blair Babylon has created. And be prepared to re-read the series over and over again. You could just read part of the series, but why? All are well written with very well-developed characters, including secondary ones. All are very detailed and make the reader feel that they are really in the story. Get the set now!
This, that, and the other-my thoughts
