About this eBook

Money doesn't always change the man in The Dangerous Billionaire, a new standalone romance from Jackie Ashenden.

Navy SEAL Sullivan "Van" Tate has been called home to reluctantly inherit an empire and finds himself facing the most difficult mission of all: love.

"Sinfully sexy."--Opal Carew on Mine to Take

Nothing about Sullivan "Van" Tate is what it seems. A Navy SEAL raised among the New York City elite, Van prefers heart-pounding action over a Wall Street corner office. But when his adoptive father dies and his business rivals move in to overtake his empire, Van must suit up to save the company and protect the one woman most forbidden to him...and the object of Van's most dangerous desires.

Chloe Tate is as ambitious as she is gorgeous. With a newfound independence, Chloe is no longer a prisoner on her father’s ranch. But everything changes when losing her father may also mean losing her life. Even with her survival on the line, Chloe can’t deny the burning attraction she feels the moment she locks eyes with Van, her rich, rough and ready, foster brother and the new head of her father’s company. Tall, dark, and muscled, he's the one man who she has no business being with. But how can she resist a Navy Seal Warrior when he’ll do anything to protect her?

Ratings and reviews

Jackie Ashenden can make sin look sexy. Her stories are edgy, earnest and hard to walk away from. Van is every woman's fantasy and every man's nightmare. A warrior on a mission, Van will risk everything to protect his heart's desire. Even walk away. Chloe is a force onto herself. She is She-Ra to Van's He-Man. She faces her enemies head on, with an inner fire that is as powerful as she is beautiful. What enthralls me most about hero and heroine is that Ms. Ashenden are equal partners in the direction the story takes. The Dangerous Billionaire is not one to be missed.

LOVED this book! Wow, just, wow! This is sexy and sinful and starts as Chloe is summoned by her foster brother, Van, to New York City. She feels very put out and has no idea what is so important that she has to uproot herself from the Wyoming ranch she runs and should have inherited. She plans only to stay long enough to meet with Van, convince him to give her ownership of the ranch, then return home. But you know what they say about plans, right? Things never go the way you want or expect. Sadly, Van has summoned Chloe because she isn't safe in Wyoming. Their father has made a dangerous enemy and one who wouldn't hesitate to harm her to achieve his objectives. But who this enemy is is a revelation of its own. Good thing she has three bad ass foster brothers to protect her. This novel is almost non-stop sexiness woven throughout a compelling story. The pages practically sizzled and burned the pages on my kindle. Oh, my, I don't even smoke and felt like I needed a cigarette after reading this book. This is book one of a new series, and, while it is a stand alone novel, I'm already anxiously looking forward to the next book. It's the first book I've read by this author, but it won't be the last. I'm adding her to my must read authors' list and ending this review now so I can go purchase some books from her back-list.

I have been a huge fan of Jackie's for quite awhile. I found her books through Netgalley and instantly hooked. I like the story plot of The Dangerous Billionaire. I loved the taboo of the lust going on with Van and Chloe. The whole Navy Seal protecting the heroine, very HOT. So I was very excited to dive into this book! I rated this book a 3.5. I was into the story line for a moment, then it got a little repetitive for me a few times. I would start to get into the characters, then that would happen that would throw me a little of kilter. So that only made it a little harder to stay within the book. Jackie does deliver on the Hot alpha Navy seal man that inherited his fathers ranch. This makes Chloe go after him to see if she can get him to give her complete ownership and control of the ranch. Chloe has always had a thing for Van. The question is will they look past being adopted siblings and make a go at it? You will have to read this book and find out. At the end I was more so satisfied. The characters were pretty much developed and we got a glimpse of the other two brothers. This is where we know there will be other series to come soon. So I am hoping that this book only being the 1st in the series, the next two will blow it out of the park for me. I am looking forward continuing with the next two brothers!
