Cocky Hero Club

Bad Boy Billionaire

Rate this book
Dear Ida,
Never in a million years did I think I’d turn to an advice column for help, but I’m stuck. Moving to New York is my dream come true, but the big city is a tough place to navigate for a small-town, southern girl like me. Luckily, fate sent me my very own knight in shining armor.

Only Whitaker Aldrich didn’t ride in on his white steed to save me. He picked me up on his Harley Davidson, wearing a leather jacket and sporting a cocky smirk that doesn’t bode well for my man free diet. He screams one-night stand.

But there’s so much more to him than that bad boy billionaire persona. He's thoughtful and kind and his six-year-old son is his entire world.

That twinkle in his brilliant green eyes makes me weak in the knees and I’m terrified that I won’t be able to protect my already bruised heart. I should probably say no when he asks me to be his nanny, right?

Yeah, getting involved with Whit would be a huge mistake.
I should definitely say no. Maybe... Possibly?
Help!

Yours truly,
The Billionaire's Babysitter

4 💘💘💘💘🌟🌟🌟🌟s❣️

This was a very sweet and heartwarming romance read!!

Grace 23 y.o. had just moved to New York to follow her dream of becoming a romance writer.
Whit 31 y.o. was a single dad with an amazing 6 y.o. son, Andrew.

Their first couple of encounters happened by accident or by fate. Without knowing they had mutual friends and both of them were invited over for dinner and you can imagine the shock on their faces!!
Grace was looking for a job and Whit was looking for someone to cook and take care of his son while he was out for work. And that’s how their story developed.

Grace and Whit were nice and sweet to each other, especially at the early stages of their friendship and their banter was very enjoyable. Their attraction was great but both of them were fighting against it due to their age gap.
Grace was a sweet girl trying to make her dream come true, kind and goodhearted.
Whit was a wonderful and humble man despite his wealth, loved his adorable son unconditionally and didn’t have time for dating.

I fell in love with all characters, the story was very well written and had no angst, dual pov. It was insta love but their relationship evolved with a slow, emotional and heartfelt pace.

In the end, Whit was not a bad boy at all!! 😉😉

OMG, I love this book! It’s fun, and flirty with great chemistry, a gorgeous love story, and characters that you cannot help but love. A blissfully romantic and laugh-out-loud funny billionaire/single dad/nanny romance with a twist. I just adored it!

This book is part of the Cocky Hero Club and it’s set in the same world as one of my favourite Vi Keeland / Penelope Ward books, Stuck-Up Suit. Our hero and heroine are friends with Graham and Soraya respectively, and those original characters feature in this one, so beware some spoilers for their book.

Grace has just moved to New York City with dreams of writing romance novels. She is brave and enthusiastic, and though things haven’t gotten off to the best of starts, she is determined to make her dream a reality, and she’s working to make it happen. But in the meantime, she needs a job so that she has money coming in, and so that she can get her out of her crappy shared apartment.

Whitaker is the single father to an adorable six year old son, and he’s also running his family’s billion-dollar music business. His life is good, and he’s happy with where he is at, with little Andrew as the centre of his world. He’s gorgeous and sweet with a great sense of humour, and of course I fell for him instantly.

Grace and Whitaker have a series of meet-cutes where they keep running into each other in the middle of a city of 8 million people. Is it coincidence? Is it fate? Who knows? But their attraction is immediate and the chemistry is delicious, and when they actually spend time together, I was riding the high of excitement and anticipation watching their banter and flirting.

I had no fucking chill. None. Whatsoever. My heart was beating out of my chest like a fucking stampede of horses as I pulled Grace through the club and onto the dance floor.

A slow song began to play and the crowd around us dispersed to nearby tables and the bar, but I pulled Grace Abernathy closer to me. Because carpe diem, mother fuckers.

Neither of them are looking for a relationship (plus, Whit is concerned that Grace is only 23 to his 31), so they agree to be friends. But things get complicated when, following a hilarious set-up by their friends, Whit ends up hiring Grace as the live-in nanny for his son.

I smiled at her icy disposition. I’d kill her with kindness. And a nice place to live. A good salary. And my charming ass son, damn it.

God, this book is fun. Grace and Whit are so funny, and I laughed so many times while in their heads. Put them both together, and they are gold! There are scenes in this book I read multiple times just to experience them all over again – the laughs, the teasing, the flirting – it’s all just fantastic. And then add little Andrew to the picture, and it’s the icing on top of the cake. He’s adorable, and the dynamics between the three of them are so entertaining.

The love story is sweet, fun, honest and full of feeling. Though the emotions are fast-developing, the actual romance feels like a slow burn. They take their time with it, treading gently around each other, but they don’t exactly hide it, and when the sexual tension becomes too much, it’s all on. Sexy, emotional and functional, I was swept up in the swoon and I love them together so much!

I needed to tell her. She was ours now. I had to make sure that she knew it.
I’d tried to keep my distance. I’d tried to do the friends thing. And it wasn’t working. At all. I was done with that shit.

Of course there’s some drama, but it’s minimal and angst-free, and watching them work through it and come out the other side is gorgeous and had me grinning like a fool. The book ends well, and I finished this book feeling all loved-up and super satisfied.

Such a fun read, I highly recommend this one!

5 stars!

‘Life was crazy, weird, and sometimes wonderful. I didn’t know if I was ever going to get used to the unusual turn that my life had taken lately. But I was damn sure going to try.’

Bad Boy Billionaire by Amie Knight was a lovely single dad age-gap romance, which we fell in love with right from the start. It was a quick -easy to read- swoon fest with great characters and a sexy and flirty storyline. We loved the friends to lover’s aspect as well as the building heat and ‘will they won’t they’ aspect. The chemistry was fabulous and the character utterly charming and lovable. A wonderful read from Amie Knight!

‘This sweet man was turning my heart inside out each and every day. And his words, they pushed me over the edge. Their sweetness. Their realness. They felt like a douse of sunshine in the middle of a rainstorm and I wanted to soak up all their light.’

Grace is a dreamer who dreams big! Starting her new life on her own terms and with limited means, she’s a young girl ‘almost’ lost in the big city of New York. Wanting to write the next big romance, she sits on the same bench every day observing couples in love, writing their stories in her head. Not that she wants a man herself, of course, she’s on a self-professed ‘man-ban.’ Or should we say ‘bad-boy’ ban. We all know how that story goes though, don’t we, HA! So, when Whitaker Aldrich catches her eye she knows not to go there, because this man is the epitome of bad-boy right from his Harley, sexy smirk, and leather jacket to the naughty twinkle in his green eyes. Fate wanted them to meet and when they did, repeatedly, under surprising circumstances, their paths aligned and what a fun, sexy, and sweet path that was!

‘I couldn’t go another day without her knowing how I felt. I was done being stubborn. I didn’t give a shit about her age. I couldn’t care less how long we’d known each other. I just knew. She was it for me. I wanted this every damn day and night and I was going to fight tooth and nail to get it. I was done with being just friends.’

I love smiling thru a story. I love it when they make me happy. This story made me happy. Whit, Andy and Grace made me happy. I know I keep using the same word LOL but it’s just the exact word for how I felt while reading this story. I don’t like to give plot points away in my reviews, so most of the time I focus on I felt while I read the book. To me, it’s just as important as the mechanics of the story. I story can unfold perfectly with likeable characters, but if you don’t feel something during reading then …

There’s nothing like reading a romance fiction story written in the stars. Whit and Grace and Andy’s journey to HEA was fated. That’s the theme that Amie chose for them and it was perfection. This story was wrapped in a cocoon of #happysigh you just want to burrow in. I enjoyed it so much I can’t even find a single choice Amie made in the story to pick on! This one is worth every second you spend reading it so go do the thing ➡

BAD BOY BILLIONARE is a wonderful story of a very different man and woman, but fate had decided that they should be together. Why else in a big city like New York, would they keep meeting up and being thrown together? Grace Abernathy was from a small-town in North Carolina. Her moving to New York had been a dream come true. She had left home and was living in a cramped apartment with two other girls, who unfortunately were chain smokers. Grace needed to find a job fast, before her savings ran out, and she and her plants died from the smoke in their tiny apartment. Grace was a little naïve to be on her own in The Big Apple. Luckily for her, fate sent her a knight in shining black leather that rode a Harley Davidson.

Whitaker Aldrich didn't know why he keep running into this young woman named Grace, but he felt protective of her. Whit always seemed to be right there when she needed him the most. There was an age-gap of eight years, so he thought he was too old for her. He was a single father with a six year old son that his entire world centered around. He needed a nanny and she desperately needed a safe place to stay and employment. She became his nanny and his son adored her. Her beloved plants found a happy home too in his big house. Whit had a huge appetite along with his son, and Grace just happened to be a terrific cook. All seemed to be going well, and even Whit's mother thought she was wonderful. Yet, every romance story comes with lots of complications. Turned out, she followed her dreams to the big city, and her dreams had changed. Home isn't a place, it is were your people are. Fate would have some more work to do if they were all to have a happy ending.

I adore Amie Knight’s work and was eager to read her addition to the Cocky Hero Club. As with all the books in the Cocky Hero Club, it’s fine to read the story without any prior knowledge of the world it is set in. Fans of the series will enjoy getting to see the characters, but you do not need prior knowledge to understand.

Especially not with this one. Amie Knight has created a story that grips right away, one that tugs at the heartstrings and has you smiling throughout. I confess, it was a bit quicker than I’d expected and some aspects of the story were fixed too quickly. However, it was not enough to take away from the sweetness of the story. It was filled with details that had me smiling, ensuring I could not put it down. It’s the perfect read for anyone looking for quick and sweet, and it will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading.

Without a doubt, Bad Boy Billionaire is another winner from Amie Knight.

I am such a sucker for a single dad romance novel, and this one was just so dang cute!! This was a really sweet, low angst love story that gave me allllll the feels and kept a permanent smile on my face the entire time I was reading. In essence, this was the perfect read for me right now!

Our heroine Grace is one of the sweetest gals I've ever read. She's recently moved from her small town to the big Apple, and wants to be a romance author, but is staying clear from men due to her own depressing failed relationships. And then she sees *the* hot guy walking in a park, and fate just keeps pushing them together. Could this be her chance to finally get her own love story right?

Whit (Whitaker) is an older, single dad to the most adorable boy evvveeerrr. He may look like your typical bad boy, but this man is only deliciously bad in one area. *wink wink* Him and Grace start an instantaneous friendship that is such a joy to read. You feel the intense attraction on both sides, but they both have their own reasons for not jumping head first into their feelings. Plus when Grace starts being a nanny for his son, and the slight age gap (8 years) he thinks friendship is all that's in the cards for him. But will be brave enough to take the leap for something more?

I obviously loved this book!! I'm always such a fan of this author, but she really took it up a notch with this one. But for me, the blurb was really misleading. There's no advice collumn setups here, which is what i was anticipating on based on the blurb. Besides that though, this was definitely a fun book that I would gladly read again and again!!

**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions!**

5 SMOOCHES!

I loved Stuck-Up Suit by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, and Amie Knight’s spin on it in Bad Boy Billionaire is a perfect complement to the Cocky Hero World. I’m a huge fan of Amie’s, and while this New York City based series is all Keeland and Ward, it wouldn’t be one of Knight’s novels without a touch of the South. She brought the southern charm to the City with Grace Abernathy, a sweet, sassy North Carolinian transplant. Grace is paired perfectly with Whit Aldrich, a motorcycle riding, musician single father who looks every bit the bad boy but is really a gentleman and an all-around good guy. Coupled with his sweet little boy, Andrew, the two Aldrich boys make an irresistible package. When Whit makes Grace an offer she can’t refuse, she finds herself moving into their home to be Andrew’s nanny.

As the chemistry between Whit and Grace crackles, they both struggle to resist. I loved the slow burning, friends-to-lovers build up between them, and I loved Whit’s meddling mom. Knight always gives good banter, but she kicks it up a notch with Grace and Whit and I was here for every single word of it. I absolutely loved the participation of the Cocky World characters in this story, and it was such a wonderful surprise discovering who was showing up and what roles they were playing in this sweet, sexy romance.

I’ve read and loved every single book Amie Knight has written. She’s an exceptionally talented author, and her performance on Keeland and Ward’s Cocky stage is contemporary romance magic. Witty, charming, sexy and fun, Bad Boy Billionaire was an addictively sweet and steamy romance that I devoured in one sitting. Five smooches from me for Bad Boy Billionaire by Amie Knight!

I was super excited to see that Amie was part of the Cocky Hero Club with her book Bad Boy Billionaire. It was a heartwarming, sweet, and sexy read!

New York wasn’t treating Grace very kindly but she was adamant she would make her dreams come true. Her luck started to turn around when she met Whit but would she be able to get past how fast things were going and accept his offer?

Whit was drawn to Grace but he wasn’t sure why. He should be concentrating on his son, but he kept crossing paths with her. When he asked her to be his nanny, that would keep them in the friends zone, right?

This book was certainly all about fate! These two were destined for each other from the start. It might have taken them a little to get there but good things come to those that wait! I loved the humor and Grace’s relationship with Andrew, it melted my heart. It was just such a wholesome and fun read, with lots of laughs and tears.

This is one of the best additions to the wonderful world of the Cocky Hero Club, I loved everything about Bad Boy Billionaire, the characters were easy to love and relate to and Grace, Whit and Andrew’s story captivated me from the first page to the last line. I fell hard and fast for Whit and his adorable son Andrew but Grace with her kind, caring ways really stole the show as she stepped into the role of housekeeper come nanny come stand in mum.
A chance meeting with a bad boy has Grace dreaming about the man in the leather jacket and it’s seems fate is intent on throwing this couple together as they turn up in various places only to keep bumping into each other but it’s at a dinner with Grace’s new found friends Graham and Soraya’s that finally has Grace taking a job and moving in with Whit and his son. What follows is a truely, wonderful love story that touched me on so many levels. I swooned, I sighed and I smiled a lot as I found myself reading into the night because I needed to see if Grace, Whit and Andrew get the HEA they so deserved. Wonderful addition to the world of Cocky Hero’s and yet another hero to fall in love with. Great job Ms Knight.

We don't meet people by accident, they are meant to cross our paths...

This story lured me in hook line and sinker. Whit Aldrich is a gorgeous man and he knows it. At first glance you judge him to be a player and a "one night stand" kind of man. Grace is a small town girl who wanted to have a fresh start. New York was the place to be to make her mark as an author.

When Whit and Grace's worlds collide, 3 times, you begin to believe it was fate. Whit rescued her and she became his nanny. She did not count on falling for Whit and his adorable son Andy. Her first impression of Whit was quickly shot down in flames when she saw him with his son. Grace was finding it more and more difficult not to care for Whit and Andy. This is a wonderful story and the dynamics between Grace, Whit and Andy was captivating. My first read by Amie Knight and I definitely will be checking out what else she has to offer.

5 Star review of Bad Boy Billionaire (Cocky Hero Club) by Amie Knight

Amie Knight is a relatively new author to me which is something I love about the Cocky Hero Club as there re such a variety of authors and tropes which I have loved discovering.

Fate often works in mysterious ways and this is so true when Whitaker (Whit) and Grace met. Meeting his unexpectedly on a number of occasions, Grace becomes Whit’s son Andy's nanny and so begins a journey that neither of them expected.

From the first chapter to the last I was absolutely hooked on the story that Ms. Knight wove and devoured this book in almost one go.

There was so much more to Whit that just a bad boy playboy and his relationship with Andy was heart warming and swoon worthy. The chemistry between them was off the charts and there were times that Andy almost stole the book, so adorable.

Bad Boy Billionaire is the latest romance read in the Cocky Hero Club by Amie Knight, and I LOVED everything about this book.

First of all, this book contains all you could want in a romance, it is funny, flirty and has some really heart-warming moments that fully tug upon your heart strings.

Grace is new to NYC, and like most arrived with big dreams and high hopes of becoming a bestselling romance writer. But she is soon struck with a hard dose of reality when she moves into a small dingy apartment in Brooklyn, and struggles to find employment, rapidly starting a timer on her chances at being able to fulfil her dreams. If she doesn’t find employment and fast, then she will be forced to return back to Carolina with her tail between her legs, and a feeling of failure.

But the irony is that Grace is a romance writer, yet she doesn’t believe in love for herself. She has a strict man ban, and is determined not to let anyone get around it. Until she is struck by a handsome romance ruiner in Central Park, who she cannot help but conjure all kind of ideas for, most of them assuming he’s the ultimate bad boy.

Whitaker ‘Whit’ Aldrich is a rich single father who has returned to New York and is actively pursuing his passionate in music, as well as running the biggest record selling business. He hasn’t dared let anyone into his life for the fear of what them leaving could potentially do, not only to his heart, but that of his sweet six year old son Andrew.

But when Whit encounters Grace, he is immediately struck. She stands out to him and he can’t help but want to know her; to be near her and to allow her to get to know him.

Fate is a big meddler in ensuring these two cross paths, and in doing so there are some hilariously sweet swoon-worthy moments, that completely sunk me as a reader.

Andrew is adorable, he is the cutest literary child I think I’ve encountered, and the way in which he interacts with Grace is beyond cute. Whitaker is handsome, a true gentleman, and you cannot help but fall in love with him right alongside Grace.

This book really captures the essence of two people who were meant to discover one another, and how fun and exciting love can be. It made me remember so much why I love romance and gave me all those fluttery feels that have me coming back for more.

I’d recommend this book to those who love great meet cutes, billionaire and single parent romances. This is one of the best books I’ve read so far in 2021!

Grace is a southern girl that has moved to New York trying to make it in the big city. She wants to be a writer but until then she needs to find a way to survive first. She looks for jobs while writing on the side, she has a heart of gold, and is the sweetest person ever. These qualities are what Whit sees first then fate starts to throw them together in interesting ways. Whit is a rich guy with a young son trying to do his best as a single dad but when he becomes fast friends with Grace, he knows his attraction is intense but also, she would be perfect in helping him with his son. They fight their attraction as much as they can because they don’t want to mess up what they have going on and want to keep things professional and friendly, yet sometimes attraction is too strong to fight. Falling in love with her boys, Whit and his son, was unexpected but can Grace ever feel like she belongs and find herself in the big city or be forced to leave feeling unaccomplished? This was such a fun and sweet read with an alpha hero and a precious little boy who both steal your heart.

I’m OBSESSED with this book - Amie Knight you are a RomCom writing Queen! Whit and Grace are one of the funniest book couples ever and I couldn’t get enough of them. How you managed to simultaneously turn me on AND make me laugh-out-loud is a mystery, but you did, time and time again.

Whit/Whitacker is a devoted dad to his adorable six year old son, Andrew. He is down to earth, sexy and oh so funny. Grace/Carolina is a curvaceous, small town girl, with a big heart and lots of love to give. Together Whit and Grace are gold and Andrew is the silver lining.

This book has it all: laugh out loud, swoon inducing, giggle behind your hand, ahhh shucks, and clutch your pearls, moments, in abundance, and you will love every single minute of it. Bad Boy Billionaire meet my Top 5 List of 2021, Top 5 List of 2021 meet Bad Boy Billionaire - a match made in romance book loving heaven!

I have to say I enjoyed this one. I loved Whit and I loved how Grace described him. All time bad boy and then in the next breath not to judge a book by its cover, lol…

When she became his nanny I thought oh no, but in the end there was a bit of twist. And Whit had some secret he didn’t share with Grace.

I loved that it was like fate wanted them to be together. From the first moment they saw each other and then they kept on running into each other at different places. And when she moved in with Whit and Andy, they were so cute together, I loved it.
I so recommend this one for all the single parent lovers and for a quick funny sweet steamy read 😊 ♥

Wow what a fabulous book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this age gap book by Amie who was a new author to me. Grace a newbie to New York keeps meeting Whit a handsome guy but she is on a man ban. We discover fate has other plans for them. This book was so wonderful, they have a divine chemistry and I couldn’t put it down. Also add in one bewitching little boy and you have a divine story that will leave you hooked and feeling happy. This was definitely a five star read. This book is part of The Cocky Hero Club but can be read as a standalone. I received this book as an arc for my honest opinion.

This was a first for me reading this author, but I'm looking forward to more from her. Grace has moved from North Carolina to New York in hopes of writing a number 1 NY best seller but thats not really working out, plus she's on a man diet, but she meets what to her seems to be a bad boy one night stand type of man, but Whitaker is so much more and now her boss. The chemistry is amazing. Loved these characters so much.

I loved this story so much. It hit all the right notes for me.....whitty, sweet, sexy and beautiful. Whit and Grace sizzled from the start and I enjoyed watching their relationship grow. Another high note for me was Andrew, Whit's son. He's adorable and I loved that him and Grace connected so well. This book was everything I look for in a romance story. I have a feeling this is going to be one of my favorite reads this year, and that means me buying a print copy!! Be sure to pick this one up!

Loved this story. I devoured it in one evening since I couldn’t put it down. The characters are refreshing and relatable. I fell instantly in love with Andy and thought the attraction between Whit and Grace was undeniable. The author wrote a terrific story and it’s one you do not want to miss out on. Make sure it’s added to your must read list.

What a fantastic and delightful story! Grace, Whit and Andrew completely melted my heart. Their story had intrigue, insecurities, hope, joy, lots of laughter, and a little despair and tears. This age-gap romance had me feeling all the emotions and glued to the pages. Bad Boy Billionaire is another enjoyable addition to the Cocky Hero Club.

Whit and Grace were such a great characters and very likeable and Andy, of course, too. There was a lovely sweetness to this story, every girl needs a guy like Whit in their life.
Amie was on her usual form with this book and as a result, I found it very hard to put down and I was reading it at every free opportunity.

Let me start this review by saying that if I could live in this book with these characters for the rest of time, I wholeheartedly would. And truthfully, doing that would just make me so beyond happy. I would be perfectly content spending the rest of my days with Grace and Whit and Andy. That is how good it felt to spend time with them. Those three burrowed themselves so deep into my heart and just made me my heart so full while I experienced their story with them.

Brought to life through Amie Knight's exceptional writing and storytelling, Bad Boy Billionaire is the perfect romance.

It has dynamic characters with more personality and connection than you can shake a stick at. It has a romance that will hit the ground running from Chapter 1, and that you'll never want to have end with its glorious fire and build up. It has a setting that truly takes on a life of its own and adds so much life to this story. It has a world of characters and moments that you won't soon forget, and that will have you simultaneously swooning and melting with what you get with these two.

But most of all, it has a friends to lovers story that will own your heart from start to finish.

Grace and Whit are the actual best. Like the actual best. From the moment you meet them you will know that in your bones. Trust me on that. You will also know that no two people are more meant to be than the two of them. Through a series of chance and very memorable encounters, Grace and Whit become friends. And then, well then they become so much more. She's a southern girl new to The Big Apple, trying to figure out which way is up, with big dreams of becoming a writer. He's a lifelong city-goer, single dad, and business owner with a love of music. Their friendship blossoms and deepens, as their attraction and pull towards one another explodes exponentially.

Soon she's working for him helping to take care of his young son, while they both find themselves wading their way through the growing feelings they share. She's trying to find her place in the world, he's desperate to show her that the perfect place for her is with him and Andy. They're opposites in more ways than one, but they can't help but need and want one another with all that they have. Too bad they're scared to rock the boat in fear that they might all tip over.

Bad Boy Billionaire is an effervescent romance full of life and spark, coffee trucks and different boroughs, that will sweep you and your heart off your feet with everything that Whit and Grace share. Their romance is perfectly built, exceptionally captured, and there is no way that you will be able to resist the literal charm of those two. I know I couldn't and nor did I want to because the moment I met those two, was the moment I fell in love with them and NEEDED them to be together.

Amie Knight continues to be one of my favorite authors for a reason. Her books truly have everything you need and then some. They're romantic as hell. They're charming and full of sass and fire and so much glorious personality. They're emotional and real, honest and incredibly layered. They've got all the feels, and her words always do the most phenomenal job of giving you characters and a story and moments that you'll live and feel and breath with your entire being.

Her books simply give you everything.

Bad Boy Billionaire was no different. Every memorable moment that Amie Knight brought to life with Grace and Whit (and Andy for that matter) is one that I treasured. Every page of this book, every moment those two shared in their glorious buildup of connection, and every word that allowed me to get them and love them and feel it all with them, seared me to those two. They made me melt and swoon. They made me laugh and smile until my cheeks were hurting. There were moments that I thought I would just die of happiness with those two, their connection, and their personalities shining through. They made me believe in love and in love stories, especially there. They made me feel like anything was possible if you just fought hard enough for it.

They made their love story, and everything they shared, feel like so much more. They made it feel like literal spark and magic, and I for one became utterly consumed with everything that was them and what they were sharing and building. They made it feel so damn good, like coming home to the most warm welcome that you never want to leave. They made it feel like them, memorable and fiery and full of so much heart.

Like I said, they made it all feel like so much more. And that is honestly just scratching the surface of what I loved about this book and their story.

Simply put, I loved every incredible word of this book.

I loved how this story connected into Graham and Soraya from Stuck Up Suit. (I seriously squealed with all the connections to that world and book!) I loved how everything Grace and Whit were building and sharing felt so inherently real and so needed. I loved getting to see their friendship grow into something so much more. I loved getting to experience his relationship with his son, and getting to be there as she built a relationship with him as well. I loved getting those moments that were so them, they practically leapt off the page with their personality and fire. I loved getting to be there as their connection and feelings for one another built and built and built some more to that inevitable tipping point that gave me everything and that ended up changing everything for them.

I loved that this story gave me two easy to love and root for characters that owned my heart from start to finish with everything they were sharing together.

Their love story was wholly enjoyable, so very them, and had me desperate to run away to New York City for my own chance at falling in love like the two of them do in this book. Swoon city central. They way that Amie Knight captures and creates everything with them is truly magnificent to read and experience, and had me basking in everything I got with them along the way. From the very first pages with them I fell with them, believed in them, and needed for them to find their way to happily ever after. That feeling only strengthened and consumed me more as I read this book, and that is just part of what makes this one of my top reads for the year and one of the best love stories I've gotten to read.

This book and this story will give you it all, and I promise that you will not soon forget it. It will make you laugh, it'll bring all of the feels inside and outside of your heart, and through it all it will have you melting right along with Whit and Grace as they see what could be. Those two could not be more right for one another, and every word of this book will have you knowing and feeling that in spades.

From memorable chance encounters, to a blooming friendship. From North Carolina to The Big Apple and back again. From friends to lovers to so much glorious more. From a girl with a big heart, and a man with so much heart to give. From the little moments, the big ones, and every one in between. From the billionaire and his babysitter to so much MORE.

Bad Boy Billionaire is the perfect romance that will have you believing in everything that an all-consuming love can bring you. It will have you knowing in the deepest part of your heart that Grace and Whit are meant to be. It will have you in the thick of it with them, ready for whatever that next moment will bring them. It will have you desperate for the literal sweetness and heart and personality and rightness that lives and breathes from them and with them in the pages of their story. But more than that, it will just have you basking in every single thing they share together because it is pure magic, pure fire, and pure love.

This book is a prime example of why I am a lover of love stories. It gave me hope. It made me happy. It made me smile and swoon. It made me melt again and again with these two, and every character that made this book what it was. It had me believing in the heart and love story that was unfolding before my eyes. It gave me it all. And then some.

Amie Knight give you everything you didn't even know you needed in this one. This book is just another example of her storytelling talent and the phenomenal reading experiences she continues to create. It was also another dip into the Cocky World, which I will never want to leave. But most of all, it was just a damn good love story that I will not soon forget. And you won't either. I promise you that.

So get yourself a coffee, a comfy chair, plop yourself next to your favorite succulent, and strap in for a romantic, effervescent, and all-consuming love story that will have you believing that real love, give you all the butterflies, feel it in your bones, have you shouting with joy and happiness from the rooftops, love, is just a page a way.

Because in Bad Boy Billionaire, Grace and Whit will give you all of that. And then some.
