Ratings and reviews

Ugh! I hate it when an author I love has a book that I just can't get into. This is that situation for me. Usually with a Jackie Ashenden book I am totally absorbed into the story. Even when I dislike the characters the story usually keeps my focus. With this one I not only disliked the hero, billionaire Lorenzo De Santis, immensely but the story lacked that wow factor and I found my mind drifting at times. Kira Constantin is his poor intern that has been forced on him and he lets her know how much he doesn't want her around. Yet he does. For his pleasure. Secretly she has her own agenda so I guess these two really deserve each other. The book didn't really work for me but as with all Ms. Ashenden's books the writing is excellent and the characters are well done and bring out your emotions.

In the eyes of her father she was a disappointment. Never good enough to wear the family name. When in reality, she was a sensitive soul looking for someone who would love her despite her flaws. Will she sale her soul to the devil or find salvation in his arms? Misunderstood, misjudged and heartbreaking seem to be a running theme with the main characters. She"s broken, he's cold but behind the subterfuge are two lost ships searching for a lighthouse to guide them home. The Billionaire's Intern is a tragic story of treachery, love and absolution. Ms. Ashenden proves that despite the ugliness of life, miracles can happen if we believe.

This is a very sexy romance with a bit of spice. Kira is a scatterbrained party girl who is coerced into being an intern for Lorenzo, a very driven and focused businessman. They couldn't be more different, yet somehow are drawn to each other. While the plot has Lorenzo searching for evidence that someone is stealing from the company, it's really ancillary to the sexy romance. This book is all about how these two people get together and how their differences impact them. From naughty sex in the office, to domineering and controlling sex elsewhere, this is a very hot novel. While this book isn't for the younger readers, others will enjoy this fairy tale romp. I love this author's work and would have given this five stars if there'd been a bit more time spent on the plot. The author is on my must read authors' list.
