Is he the one that got away, or not?I was sure I did the right thing when I walked away from him. Did I miss those piercing eyes and dark curls? Yeah. Those heated kisses and his strong hands? Oh yeah. But, the billionaire heir to Atherton Diamonds was more interested in partying with models than being serious. I needed to move on. Make something meaningful out of my life. So, I left, and Andrew … of my life.
So, I left, and Andrew became just somebody that I used to know.
Now, almost a decade later, I had put him out of my mind. Running the orphanage, A Place for Grace, in Botswana is making the difference I’d always hoped to make. Fighting corruption and creating a home for AIDS stricken families was enough for me.
But then, it all came apart when Andrew literally crashed back into my life. Is he still the same self-absorbed pretty boy I knew and loved?
Or can we build the true partnership that we once dreamed of?

Molly Sloan…..Beloved by you
Andrew and Janet a/k/a Red are such a great balance for one another. He’s a spoiled rich boy but is torn between taking everything and being noble. Janet is such a humanitarian and loves unconditionally to the end. A great romance for sure.
She had loved him so much but she had to walk away when he was more interested in partying with models. Years later she was.doing a job she loved when he reappears. The spark is still there but has he changed? Will she let him back in? See if she will

ARC was given to me by author. My review is given completely volunterly and all comments/ thoughts are mine alone.
Beloved by You from Molly Sloan. This is book 2 in A Billionaire Second Chance Romance series.
I gave this book 5 stars. This was the first book I read by this author, and I was really impressed with it. Andrew and Janet have a history together, but they haven’t seen each other in years.
Andrew’s and Janet’s families had different missions in life. The Athertons were diamond miners — the very industry that was threatening the indigenous people Janet was fighting to protect. and Janet was the descendant of Stephen Girard, the wealthy philanthropist who’d donated his fortune to the education and welfare of orphans.
Janet has been in Botswana the past few years building her orphanage house “Place of Grace” to support the poor children that have lost their parents due to Aids.
This book actually has some serious content subject matters that pulls at your heartstrings. The story is a second chance at love, Hot rich billionaires, Beautiful smart women, Great friends, There is corruption issues, Mystery suspense, jealousy, and at last HEA
Characters you can get attached to…
This is the second book that I’ve read by this author. I really enjoyed the continued story of the Atherton family. Andrew is a likable billionaire with ethics and morals. Janet is strong-willed and has a sense of purpose.
The story entertaining and you get to escape for just a little while. Well worth a read if you’re just looking for something fun while you are commuting or just relaxing. Definitely a feel-good book with a happy ending.

A well written, emotionally deep, heartwarming and endearing second chance romance. The storyline is flawless, very interesting, flows smoothly, and moves along at a brisk pace with some drama and a mix of emotions on every page. Loveable characters; the chemistry between Andrew and Janet is intense and HOT! This book met all of my expectations and then some! From start to finish I was held captivated with the overall quality, the wonderful story line, and the very interesting characters. A really passionate and exciting read! Definitely recommended.

This is my first good steamy romance by a good romance author! Janet fell in love with Andrew in college but they were not on the same wavelength so she left. Andrew knew immediately that he let the love of his life slip through his fingers. One phrase that is my pet peeve when it is often misquoted is “if you think …, then you have another think coming. Many authors say you have another thing coming. I finally decided to comment on it. I received a gifted copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review. I honestly love this story and this series! Janet is Beloved by You: Andrew is A Billionaire Second Chance candidate.
– This book has a great set of characters. I liked the information about the problems in Africa and the aids epidemic. The story of Oba and Gouda is heartbreaking. Andrew and Janet have a great and heart-warming romance. I enjoyed the story very much.
Not my favorite read. I just couldn’t get into the story. I didn’t connect/like with the characters. The issue, I am sure, falls to me and not the author. Maybe a different time and another read, I would feel differently.

This is the first book by this author I have read and I was not disappointed. This is a great read about a 2nd chance romance. I loved the topic and that the author also added topics on humanitarian issues. I looked forward to reading more books by this author.

Janet and Andrew we’re together in college and then broke up. When they meet again there are many obstacles in trying to get to their HEA. Storyline was good and also addressed the HIV and resulting orphan problem in Africa. Good character development. I would enjoy reading about the other members of the BBC 2.

This was a wonderful about 2nd chances, jealously and good deeds. Janet and Andrew had been together quite a few years ago and he literally ran into her in Africa when she darted out in front of him to save a child. She runs an orphanage and he mines for diamonds. Very different, yes? When she tells him how corrupt the government is, he gets really involved. The story moved along quickly and was very enjoyable to read. I’ve already signed up for Beholden to You

This is a powerful story with so many layers. Andrew and Janet’s story starts when he was a model for his family’s diamond company. Janet did not like the man that he was at the time so she ended things with him and went on to become the woman she wanted to be through charity in Asia and South Africa. They meet up again through an accident that almost takes her out. Andrew can’t believe his luck, will it lead to a second time around and a happier outcome for the couple? This is a touching story it grabs you from start to finish.

Nel scrivere questo mio parere sono super emozionata perché è stata la prima volta che ho interagito direttamente con un’autrice straniera e lei si è offerta di mandarmi il suo libro in anteprima. Quindi, prima di tutto, thank u Molly Sloan for this beautiful gift!. Beloved by you è il secondo volume che l’autrice ha scritto con protagonisti miliardari; in più i libri risultano essere tutti standalone anche se i personaggi tendono a tornare tra un libro e l’altro ma questo non va ad intaccare la lettura. In questo caso parliamo di un second chance romance, un genere che ho imparato ad apprezzare moltissimo durante il corso dello scorso anno.
«, ,» . «’ . , … ‘ ».
Andrew Atherton è un milionario ed ereditiere, insieme a sua sorella Claudia, dell’impero che porta il nome di Atherton Diamonds. Durante un viaggio in Botswana per fare sopralluoghi per la società e trovare nuove terre nelle quali investire, Andrew incontra di nuovo quella che da sempre è l’amore della sua vita, la donna che lo ha lasciato e che gli ha spezzato il cuore dieci anni prima.
Janet Girard è una volontaria presso l’ospedale e si occupa della cura delle persone che sono affette dal virus dell’AIDS. Molti sono i bambini che entrano a far parte dell’orfanotrofio fondato da Janet, A Place of Grace, dopo che i loro genitori non sono riusciti a guarire, soprattutto per la mancanza di cure e strumentazione medica. E’ proprio a causa della morte della sua amica Gouta, che Janet inizia a prendersi cura di suo figlio Oba, il quale sarà l’artefice dell’incidente che farà incontrare di nuovo Janet con Andrew.
« , ‘ . , . .»
Due mondi completamente diversi sono quelli che caratterizzano gli ideali e le credenze dei due protagonisti. Janet ha lasciato Andrew in precedenza proprio perché aveva paura di restare incastrata in un mondo che non sentiva suo come sua madre; così ha fatto la scelta di abbandonare l’amore della sua vita per inseguire i suoi sogni e i suoi desideri. Ma Andrew non è quel tipo d’uomo ed è pronto a dimostrare alla donna che ama che i loro mondi possono sposarsi alla perfezione. I due protagonisti sono caratterizzati da maturità e schiettezza, due delle qualità che più apprezzo nelle persone che fanno parte del mondo reale, quindi non ho potuto fare a meno di innamorarmi di loro. Mi è piaciuto il modo di fare protettivo di Andrew; inoltre, gli uomini che non hanno paura di affrontare i loro sentimenti e di essere consapevoli di quest’ultimi hanno sempre quella marcia in più!.
«[…] , ? …». . « ,» .
Come primo romanzo dell’anno, Beloved by you mi ha soddisfatta moltissimo soprattutto per il tocco di delicatezza che l’autrice ha dato al romanzo, sensibilizzando i lettori su un tema che è fortemente attuale. Come specificato da quest’ultima all’interno del romanzo, questa regione del Sud Africa si trova al secondo/terzo posto su scala mondiale per la più alta presenza di persone con immunodeficienza e presenza di virus infettivi. Inoltre, la scrittrice ha anche affrontato l’importanza del volontariato in queste zone in cui l’aiuto non può mai essere definito troppo!. Una scrittura scorrevole e caratterizzata da molte parti dialogate, devo dire che ci ho messo pochissimi giorni nel leggerlo. Spero che questo romanzo possa arrivare quanto prima in Italia e per chi legge già in lingua ve lo consiglio tantissimo.
A love story that encompasses time and cultures. We get a peek not only into the world of the mega-rich but also into the unique culture of Botswana (southern Africa). Hearing about the respect the characters had for the people was an interesting perspective, and an important character all its own.
Here in among the orphans of Botswana we find Janet trying to make life a little easier for them while gaining financial support. Then Andrew her ex-boyfriend happens to see her again and knows this is his second chance. Things don’t go smoothly between misunderstandings and subterfuge. Enjoyed the way the author took all the loose strands and wove them together into a beautiful tapestry.

This book is a really great read, and you must get it. I absolutely did not want to put it down once I started reading .
A second chance romance. She let him so because he was a self-absorbed billionaire playboy. Her heart was in being a humantarian and making a difference. Ten years later she’s making a difference with her orphanage when he reappears in her life. The steams still there. Plenty of twists and surprises. No spoiler here, but this is a good read that I read via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review.
