Kylie may be a makeup artist to the stars, but she knows what it feels like to be overshadowed. Especially by her famous boss, the pop star Daphne. That’s why she’s stunned—and delighted—when one night at a party, she attracts the attention of a gorgeous stranger. But when Daphne decides she wants the handsome billionaire for herself, Cade Archer is suddenly off-limits for Kylie…

Cade has known Daphne for years, and always wondered if she might be the right woman for him—even though she never gave him the time of day. But one sizzling night with Kylie has changed everything. So why is she suddenly avoiding him? Fortunately Cade is determined to get what he wants, and he’ll do anything to show Kylie she can get everything she wants too…

••••••••••••••

REVIEW: ONE NIGHT WITH A BILLIONAIRE is the sixth installment in Jessica Clare’s adult, contemporary Billionaire Boys Club romance series focusing on a group of self made billionaires (and friends). This is billionaire investor Cade Archer, and make up artist Kylie Daniels. ONE NIGHT WITH A BILLIONAIRE can be read as a stand alone. Any important information from previous storylines is imparted where necessary.

Told from dual third person perspectives ONE NIGHT WITH A BILLIONAIRE follows the building relationship between Kylie and Cade, and Cade’s crumbling ‘friendship’ with the infamous singer Daphne Petty. The reader was first introduced to Daphne and her struggling relationship with Cade in book three-THE WRONG BILLIONAIRE’S BED. Cade Archer has been in love with Daphne since they were children but Daphne’s drug addiction and questionable lifestyle have forced Cade to get Daphne help on too many occasions. Enter curvaceous and plump Kylie Daniels-Daphne’s new make up artist-and the woman who would capture Cade’s heart. After a drunken one-night stand with Kylie, Cade wakes up alone with little memory about what had happened-the only thing he knows-he wants more from Kylie Daniels.

The relationship is one of mutual attraction although Kylie’s self esteem has been shattered by a past rife with condescending insults and the loss of her parents. Kylie does not understand Cade’s attraction to her, and in this, she believes Cade is only filling an empty hole left behind from his attraction and love for Daphne Petty. The $ex scenes are provocative and steamy. Cade is a man who has fallen in love with Kylie who believes she is not worthy of a man like Cade. Afraid of losing her job if Daphne discovers her relationship with Cade, Kylie is not willing to place herself in any further compromising positions. Kylie has kept secret her family history- a history that now costs every penny Kylie makes.

Our first introduction to Cade (in book three) found a man whose dependency upon his friendship with Daphne left little to be desired. Here was a man who had fallen in love with his best friend-a friend whose lifestyle focused on her next drug fix leaving Cade to willingly pick up the pieces when her own family had written off the addicted star. Sometimes it is better to walk away then to be an enabler; their co-dependent relationship left a bad taste in this reader’s mouth. But Cade is a changed man. He recognizes that Daphne will never be the young woman with whom he had previously fallen in love, and in this, Cade is willing to take the next step and look towards the future with someone else-if only Daphne had gotten the memo.

The secondary and supporting characters include many of Daphne’s assistants, dancers and tour regulars whose own lives have been less than happy while bending to the whims and wishes of a drug addicted star. Cade’s billionaire friends make a small appearance at the end of the story, but Cade will reach out to Reese (The Wrong Billionaire’s Bed #3) when Kylie continues to push Cade away. Although Daphne has yet to get her happily ever after, perhaps we will see something in Jessica Clare’s spin off series-Billionaires and Bridesmaid.

ONE NIGHT WITH A BILLIONAIRE is a sexy and wonderful read with texting, panty negotiations, and supply closet $ex. There are moments of tears and romance; betrayal and pain; falling in love and letting go. Jessica Clare pulls the reader into a storyline where the heroine is not perfect; she is not a size two but a woman whose curves call to the man of her heart. The characters are colorful, engaging and charismatic; the premise a Cinderella fairy tale; the happily ever after a storybook promise.

ONE NIGHT WITH A BILLIONAIRE (The Perfect Man) by Vicki Lewis Thompson

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 21, 2013

Growing up on a ranch, Melanie Shaw always assumed she’d end up with a strong, protective cowboy someday. Before she settles down, though, she decides to take a romantic adventure in Paris, a city she longs to explore. But on the first day of her getaway, Melanie winds up in trouble and is rescued by an unlikely stranger-the handsomest Texan she’s ever seen. He may not be a cowboy, but what girl can resist a billionaire who wants to take her on a whirlwind tour of the City of Lights? And when the romance between them heats up, Melanie realizes that she may have found her perfect man where she least expected.

•••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: ONE NIGHT WITH A BILLIONAIRE is the first novella in Vickie Lewis Thompson’s The Perfect Man series. Focusing on three friends from Texas, the first storyline finds Melanie Shaw, alone in the romantic city of Paris, France when her friends are unable to make the long awaited European vacation. Things go from bad to worse when Melanie finds herself the victim of a mugging and all of her money is now in the hands of a Parisian thief. Enter Drew –a fellow Texan; a billionaire; and Melanie’s savior. Within a matter of a few minutes, Drew has come to Melanie’s rescue, offers his home and car and planned out her Paris itinerary down to the last minute. Along the way, the couple will soon realize, that they have more in common than Paris and a Texas twang-they are perfect for each other in every way-almost too perfect. Drew likes to rescue people and things and Melanie is ripe for the rescuing.

The story is a novella, therefore everything happens rather quickly-from a rescue by Drew to the final kiss-five days will pass and an entire lifetime of promises is vowed and a happily ever after. There is no angst; no mystery; no suspense and no conflict. There was nothing to propel the storyline forward. The writing is simple; the plotline is very predictable but it is the one-on-one conversations between Drew and Melanie that are difficult to accept-almost adolescent in context. I thought I was reading a story written by a teenage girl. The quality or perhaps the style of the writing was less than stellar.

I am not sure how to describe my feelings about this particular book, but for all intents and purposes, I was disappointed. And as for the title, there was more than ONE night with a billionaire. In fact there were five nights with this particular billionaire, which made me curious as to the selection of the title. The sex scenes were romantic but again, the talk between the couple would have been best left off the pages. I was rather uncomfortable with their sex talk-it felt off; stilted; juvenile.

Sadly, One Night With a Billionaire did not live up to my expectations, although I am not sure what I was expecting. But I know, this was not it.
