The Billionaire's Virgin by Jackie Ashenden is full of mystery, passion and a bit of a fairy tale-ness to the story. This is a more modern day slant on the fairy tale myths. Mia is homeless when she meets Xavier De Santis at the local soup kitchen and homeless shelter. He is super rich while she is so broke . His reasons for being in the soap kitchen are more for his needs than to help people BUT he does agree to meet Mia and he offers her a place to stay in his home for a night because she has nowhere to go and the temps are down near zero. One night becomes quite a few nights and the chemistry between them is electric. Mia's innocence and sheer vulnerability comes shining thru while Xavier’s ruthlessness and overprotectiveness come thru. Their relationship develops slowly, but it does slowly come to bloom and when it does its lovely and full of light. There is danger and there are twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. Do they save each other and in essence become each other’s saviors or do they end up falling apart?
This was one awesome read and one I have read over and over again, that’s how great this book is. I would love to read more stories in this vein. Its full of passion and heat and heart.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *****
