Description:
As the firstborn son, it’s been drilled into Nick that he is the heir apparent to the Prince family empire. But cattle ranching has never been his true passion. Nick wants to be a pilot. However, when his father dies, leaving Nick to clean up the mess, he knows he must do his duty before following his heart.

Charlotte Bailey can’t believe that Nick is back to run the ranch. As the office manager, she knows it’s her responsibility to help him. If only he wasn’t so brooding and cranky–and so hot it’s a wonder his chaps don’t melt right off him. But when sparks fly between them, she’s adamant about staying away from a cowboy on his way out the door.

Nick knows the ranch’s pretty, smart, and capable office manager is off-limits, but he needs her. And working in such close proximity to Charlotte every day is making Nick crazy. She smells good, she looks good, she makes him laugh, but most of all she makes him want to stay….

 

 

Review:

The Billionaire in Boots by Julia London is the 3^rd book in her Princes of Texas series.  We already met Nick, our hero and the Prince family heir apparent; and Charlotte Bailey, our heroine, who is also the Princes office manager.

Nick, was forced to take over the cattle ranching, after the death of his father; he is not a happy camper, as he hates ranching and prefers to be a pilot, his first love.  Charlotte, has had a crush on Nick for many years, but knows he is not interested in relationships, or his job.  Though Nick can be grumpy a lot, her wonderful disposition, and her help in the office allows them to be friends.  Their constant text messages to each other (even when they are in the same office) is cute and border on hysterical at times.   I loved Charlotte, as she was such a sweet fun-loving character.  

Nick enjoyed his friendship with Charlotte, but it took a bit to win me over, though more than half way through the book, he was great.   It was fun to watch their friendship build, especially as Charlotte was looking for a someone perfect for her, that would want a family, dogs and babies.  None of which Nick was suited for, but he did try to pick some guys for her. 

Nick will soon begin to realize how much he enjoys Charlotte’s company, and finds himself falling hard for her, not to mention her feelings for him.  This slow build romance was wonderful, as the chemistry between them was sexy and hot, and we rooted hard for them to stay together.   But Nick’s desire to leave and become a pilot, as well as his fears of getting married and having babies threatened any future for them. 

What follows was a sweet, heartwarming, fun romance between two people destined to live other lives.    Nick and Charlotte were a great couple, which we didn’t see any chance for them to find a way to stay together, but fate always wins.  I loved reading this sweet romance, in a small western town, with many wonderful characters from both the Prince and Bailey families.  I adored Rufus, Charlotte’s older dog, who was a riot. 

The Billionaire in Boots was a wonderful, fun, enjoyable story that had us smiling so many times throughout the book.  It was a fantastic fun heartwarming read.  Julia London once again gives us a wonderful story, with a great couple and likeable characters, which always makes the stories more enjoyable.   I suggest you read this wonderful small town romance written so well by Julia London.
