Shades of Surrender: Fifty by Fifty #4: A Billionaire Romance Boxed Set Review

***A gifted copy was provided by the author(s) for an honest review***

Note this is the last in the box set for the Shades of...

The Billionaire's Student by Savannah Reardon--Katie’s parents die unexpectedly; Katie becomes desperate to pay for college and the answer seems to come in the form of Billionaire Jace Weatherton—Let me say –WOW. The characters are full of surprises and the chemistry is hot. From what I understand, this story will be continued on. There were a lot of twists and turns which made me crave the answers and I loved it!   My rating: 4.3 stars ****

The Interview by Abby Weeks-A young lawyer at a large financial institution receives instructions to meet the enigmatic, billionaire CEO Dale Young in his private office—Dale needs Abby’s help to fix something for him. Abby meets Dale and the chemistry is off the charts. The twists and turns in the story along with the did he or didn’t he made this story really good.   I loved the complexness of which that is Dale and the hidden layers of Abby.  My rating : 4 stars ****

Playing Games by Liliana Rhodes--Luscious Cassie Monroe moves to Canyon Cove with only one thing in mind—getting a job. But she gets a job and has an encounter with her sexy billionaire boss. Which she finds out that it is more than she might be able to handle. The sparks here are HOT. Cassie and Gabriel dance around the chemistry and I love how ALPHA he is with her. 
My rating: 4.6 stars ****

Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer—Think of a very shy girl, a billionaire CEO, plus his longtime male lover. What could happen? A possible recipe for calamity or will one night show that one is never enough? This was a great story. I really got into the 3some and the tangled web wove made me think about how the emotions drove up the passions. It didn’t feel contrived as some stories have felt in the past involving 3some so kudos to the author. My rating: 4.6 stars ****


Safeword: Matte by Candace Belvins--Matte, pronounced mah-tay, is Japanese for stop, and is used in some martial arts to end a fight. Sam is a sexual submissive but she enjoys fighting. She has a lot of kinks and has a hard time finding a man who can deal with that. Her safe word is MATTE. Enter Ethan-The man who could be the man she needs. This story was super-hot and full of sexual situations and scenes. If you are easily offended, then I wouldn’t recommend this story but if you are like me, then this story will be right in your wheelhouse. Fantastic. Full of great scenes.  My rating : 4.8 stars ****

The Greek Billionaire and I - Marian Tee--Too proud to let Greek billionaire Mykolas know she's in love with him, schoolteacher Velvet ends up accepting his offer for a marriage of convenience. This story has the emotional twists and turns you know to expect from Ms. Tee. Keep the tissues handy.  Velvet has some deep pain in her past and needed hope in her life and when meeting Mykolas  hoped he would be her dream come true –WOW! Loved the twists and turns in this story. My rating : 4.9 stars *****

The Billionaire’s runaway Curves – Danielle Duncan---A short but charming romantic story,  about Ellie who ran from Theo when she found out that she was pregnant with their child. She thought he wouldn’t want the baby.  Now nearly nine years later, Theo finds Ellie when they run into each other. I felt the pain each other felt. I have to tell you, this story had me in tears a few times but it was delicious and I would recommend it as a great story to read. The heat factor is a plus too. My rating: 4.2 stars ****

His Weakness by E.K. Sabins—This is a historical romance from the author. I will admit it is different from the modern day in this box set. I think it is set in the late 1800s to early 1900s.  Ellie has had her world turned upside down when her parents die she must secure a guardian or a spouse in order to gain her inheritance and here enters James Parkman. The characters in the story delve into Strong BDSM - quite explicit—there are some twists and turns in this story as well. I will say, I didn’t enjoy this story as much as I have the others-could be because it is a period piece. Nothing against the author, it is just , perhaps due to the vagueness of when the era it is set in. I couldn’t get a good feel.   My rating: 3.8 stars ***

The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop – Terry Towers.  A short and sweet love story. Ms Towers writes some of the best stories out there. This is book two in the series. Jesse and Jeff make a wonderful couple. Jesse loves Senator Jeff and always waits on him. Senator Jeff hates the coffee in this shop but loves seeing his favorite coffee girl, Jesse. There is a pull between the two. You need to read this story to find out how their relationship develops. Does Jesse ever let Jeff know she wants to be his forever? This is one of the best out of the series. My rating: 4.8 stars *****

Billionaires in Disguise: Rae by Blair Babylon--- Rae is a small town girl in college and her dreams are about to end when she fails her statistics class Her friends from school give her a solution to her problem and tell her to meet somewhere. The somewhere is “The Dom” for an interview Rae goes to this upscale party where she ends up meeting this guy Wulf. . What Rae doesn’t know is that “The Dom”  and Wulf are the same. Then she finds out what the job really is and entails, will Rae take the job and will the crazy attraction to Wulf be acted on? OMG this story was awesome!! I couldn’t stop reading and re-reading it. There is multiple parts to this story, FYI on this. I love this story and cant wait to read more by this author.  My rating : 5 stars *****


Anything He Requires by Michelle Fox-- Animal trainer Jessica Kingston is hired by Jacob Daniels to train a playful but headstrong puppy but in all reality, its Jessica that is being trained. Trained to do Jacob’s bidding. This is a quick, delicious story about two people who need someone in their lives. It is hot, the chemistry is great.  I wish there was a little more pages to the story but what was there was fantastic. My rating: 4.2 stars ****
