intensej 's review for:

The Billionaire by J.R. Ward, Jessica Bird
5.0

4.5/5 stars

Set in South Boston and New York. Great chemistry between Lizzie and Sean. Lizzie is a nurse who lives in the lower level of a duplex owned by Sean's father. Lizzie calls Sean when his father dies. You find out that Sean's father was an alcoholic and abusive toward Sean and his two other brothers. Sean meets Lizzie when he goes to his childhood home to empty his father's apartment. He likes being with Lizzie because she doesn't know that he is wealthy and she treats him like a normal person. The conflict begins when Sean thinks that Lizzie is a gold digger. Short read. It only feels a little dated when eHarmony and a BlackBerry phone is mentioned. I'd be interested in reading a book about Sean's brothers: Billy and Mac.
