A review by aelrae
The Billionaire's Virgin by Jackie Ashenden
5.0
The last thing Xavier wants to do is waste his time at a shelter feeding the homeless, but after his billionaire father laid down the law, that's exactly what he has to do - that is, if he wants his late mother's ranch. And to be honest, it's the only thing he wants in life. Unlike his father and brothers, he hates living in New York, working for the family business. Hopefully, he'll get this gov't contract that his father wants, get the ranch, and GTFO of the city for good. It would be better for everyone, because all he seems to do is destroy everything, anyway.
So why can't he stop thinking about the girl whose eyes keep haunting him...?
Mia is no stranger to hardship. Being dropped off on her abusive grandmother's doorstep at 5 years old, finally running away at 13, and living on the streets ever since, have shown her that the only person she can trust is herself. That is, until the shelter she uses when the weather is too cold closes, leaving her to make a choice - freeze to death on the streets, or trust the rich man who offers her a place to stay.
But no one warned her that she would be in danger of losing her heart...
I've got to admit, after reading the first 30 pages of this story I thought I wasn't going to like it. I thought Xavier was going to be a typical billionaire jackass - arrogant & selfish. It was almost as if he were going to treat Mia like some kind of pet, believe it or not. Thankfully, I couldn't have been more wrong if I tried. Watching them learn that they weren't so different from each other was absolutely heartwarming, and it definitely gave me ALL the feels.
I highly recommend this one.
