Another amazing start to a series!
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, that, and the other-my thoughts
