An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.Love is worth a fortune in this sizzling novel of accidental romance and riches by New York Times bestselling author J.S. Scott.Wildlife conservationist Jade Sinclair isn’t used to having money. But when she and her siblings learned they were part of the mega-rich Sinclair dynasty, they became billionaires overnight. Jade doesn’t even know how … billionaires overnight. Jade doesn’t even know how to act rich, especially when she’s dealing with an arrogant, privileged, unreasonably sexy snob like Eli Stone.
Unlike Jade, Eli grew up rich, and he just keeps getting richer. Eli is always looking for an adventure, and he’s found an inviting one in Jade—as resistant as she is irresistible. His less-than-honorable plan? Get her alone in the wilderness by buying out all the spots in her survival class.
Calling a truce, they strike a bargain: Jade will teach Eli basic survival skills, and he’ll teach her how to navigate the world of the wealthy elite. Jade has only one condition—she will not let herself be seduced by him. But some things are easier said than done…

J.S. Scott has done it again!!! What a fantastic start to a series. Jade and Eli’s story will have you craving more and more from the Sinclair family.
I saw this on Netgally and started reading it on a whim, and I’m glad I did. The author is completely new to me, so I really had no idea if I was going to like the story, or the writing.
In the beginning I was a little confused because how on earth do you become an accidental billionaire? As I got to know Jade a little bit more, the accidental billionaire was still in the back of my mind, but her character was pushed to the front. Eli I liked right away, even though he did act like your standard billionaire bad boy that are a dime a dozen in books like these. I was very pleasantly surprised when he took on more character development and took a few steps away from that typical persona.
My favorite part of this book though was the duel point of views. I tend to shy away from first person stories because they are generally told from that one view point, usually the female, and I love being in the male characters head.
Overall I really enjoyed Ensnared, and it left me wanting a next book in the series. I’m definitely looking forward to checking out this authors back list.
Life is so much bigger than all of us. Even at it’s most painful, there are lessons to be learned. Ensnared grabbed me at hello. Scott guides readers into a storm of emotion that never stops being beautiful, but has underlying currents of turbulence. Jade and Eli blend sweet and sensual into their little tango of love. They are two halves learning how to be whole. Eli is a man trapped within two worlds. The geeky nerd with a thirst for knowledge and the extreme athlete searching for something more. Jade is a woman with her own brand of personal baggage. Thrust into a world where she doesn’t quite fit, she’s looking for a place to belong. People come into our lives just when we need them, but never realize as much. Ensnared is an inspirational tale of the healing power of love. Like the most captivating of duets Ensnared wraps itself around the heart in an unforgettable way.
I have loved the Sinclair family ever since Dante and Sarah’s story in No Ordinary Billionaire. So when I saw this book was the beginning of the West Coast Sinclairs, I snapped it up. This story is about Jade Sinclair and Eli Stone. Jade is the twin sister of Brooke from Only a Millionaire. We last heard the West Coast Sinclair siblings had just became overnight billionaires. Jade is actually not taking this change too well, she is feeling out of sorts in this new world of the wealthy and actually feeling a bit guilty. So when the opportunity to learn from Eli, who was born wealthy, she reluctantly decided to go for it. Eli has not made it a secret that he wants Jade in his bed so he will do whatever he can to get her there. Unfortunately he does not believe in commitment and Jade is not willing to be another notch on his bedpost.
I am not quite sure how I felt about their story. Eli has most of the qualities I love in an alpha, he’s determined, he is possessive, and very protective but the problem I had was we really didn’t know what the reasons for his not wanting to commit until really late in the book. Even if he kept saying all he wanted was sex, but his actions showed that was not completely true, he was considerate and very sweet to Jade and when the opportunity came, he didn’t take it. I just wanted to know what his issues were sooner.
As for Jade, I loved her passion for wildlife conservation and that she was the kick-ass survivalist. I felt sad for the way she felt about herself but as the story went on and she started to take charge of her new circumstances, she grew to see her worth.
There was some conflict that separated the couple for a couple weeks and I was frustrated with how they got there but I was happy it got resolved. So all in all this was a good story, I am actually looking forward to Jade and Brooke’s brothers stories, especially Aiden and Skye,
I had a hard time with how many stars to give, I finally settled at 3.5 and rounded up to 4. I did have a hard time with Eli and his commitment issues and not knowing why and even though they got their HEA I wasn’t really sold on how they got there, Even with all this, I did like Eli’s reaction to Jade when he wasn’t being a jerk and I did love the relationships between the siblings.
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
Holy Hotness!! Jade is all about nature and trying to find ways to help the wild life and Eli is a little crazy and adventurous but together they are explosive. This couple burn up the pages and leave you wanting their story to keep going. This is the first book in a new series and we get a little bit of a peak into the next book so the ride is only beginning. Great Story
“Ensnared” (The Accidental Billionaires Book 1) by J.S. Scott is a wonderful read. I loved Jade and Eli’s story. This is a fantastic start to this new spin-off series, packed with entertaining characters, romance, passion, family, and more. I can’t wait to see what happens next with this part of the Sinclair family. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, billionaires, families, and series.
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my…… that is the first thought that comes to my mind when I’m trying to put into words what I think of this book.
I just love Jade and Eli together. He comes across at first as pretty much as an aggro-grant jerk and Jade let’s him know right from the beginning that she will not tolerant that crap. I absolutely love her. Since Jade won’t come to Eli he finds a way to come to her.
A man who wants a woman to be comfortable in her own skin, her own world….amazing……
J. S. Scott has such an amazing way of writing that pulls you right into the book and makes you feel that you’re a part of the story. I felt like I was right there sitting next to Jade and Skye while they were chatting about Eli. I was practically bouncing in my seat like a teenager ready to give Jade advise too.
This book left me excited for the next installment in the series, Entangled. Hmmm….wonder what really happened between Skye and Aiden.
Ensnared by J. S. Scott is Book One in The Accidental Billionaires series. This is the story of Jade Sinclair and Eli Stone.
Jade and her siblings find out they are now very rich but Jade a Wildlife conservationist doesn’t really change. Eli has always been rich so nothing new for him but when he meets Jade she is something different than he is used to. Eli and Jade come to an agreement that each will help the other deal with their different worlds. But along the way the feelings that sparked between the two turn into more than either thought.
Really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for more books in this series.
I absolutely love all of JS Scott’s books. They are my absolute favorite and I re-read them quite frequently. When I started reading Jade and Eli’s story, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this book lived up to my expectations and actually went beyond what I was expecting. It had just enough heartbreak in it to hope for a HEA, and the preview for the next book had me on the edge of my seat. Thank you again JS Scott for always writing such amazing books!
Once again one of my favorite authors has put out an amazing story of Eli and Jade. A pager turner and great chemistry. A strong will in Jade who is trying to understand wealth and Eli who has it in which he wants to show Jade the perks of having money..
Since Brady’s story, the Sinclair clan has make me fall in love with all of them. But on a huge twist to their stories there are more Sinclair’s to fall in love with. All of them are very powerful, but their strengths are very different. The accidental billionaires of the west coast will have to confront their new reality after a long life of suffering and working very hard, caring for each other and strengthening their family bonds.
Time has passed since she became a billionaire, but for Jade it is not easy to deal with all this money and luxury all at once. But this money will bring her great opportunities and the guy she will not be able to live without, Eli. Sexy, mega mogul, billionaire, and just everything that she does not like or want, Eli will be exactly what she needs to understand her new position in this world of luxury, just simply making it impossible for her to stay away. Both need to heal and only with the help of the other and Charlie will they truly succeed. Understanding how to be mega rich and enjoy it will be a lot of fun if you are guided by a sexy, gorgeous man that give anything just to see Jade smile.
The story is full of great new characters that I’m sure will make the new Sinclair’s, the accidental billionaires our new favourites. Jade’s and Eli story is sexy, funny, passionate, romantic, adventurous, and has many unexpected surprises that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you will not be able to put this book down and will be sad when it end, wanting more of these characters as soon as possible.
I love the “new” Sinclair clan. These folks know that life is not easy and Jade is having a hard time getting use to a new life style. I love her as a heroine! She is so strong and has a lot of sass. Eli made me burn up right away. The cat and mouse chase had me on edge wondering if they will be or not.
J.S. Scott’s books are near and dear to my heart. I found her with KU and I will never get enough of her billionaire stories. Her characters have a whole lot of heart are so unselfish. I was drawn to Eli and Jade. I loved the story line and the whole wild life refugee we get to see. Ensnared is a great book to start off a series right! A huge book recommendation for me!
I love all of the Sinclair and all of the books in the Billionaire’s series. Jan does it again, with the spin-off, West Coast Sinclairs.
I’ve been waiting (not patiently) for this book since Jade was introduced in Liam and Brooke’s book, Only a Millionaire. The preview for Ensnared, had me waiting, rather impatiently.
Jade, the strong and capable, I don’t need anyone heroine, and then the character of Eli, was well developed as the strong, arrogant Billionaire. Once you have read the backstory of Jade and her siblings, and then settle into the book you won’t want to put it down. Jade and Eli had chemistry from the very beginning, mostly hostile on Jade’s part….. until they touched during a wilderness training.
Jade’s trust issues and her down to earth persona made her relatable to me as a woman. And Eli, as the strong, dominant, and arrogant billionaire was definitely my idea of a hero. Once they open up to each other about their passions, then their insecurities, it’s easy to see they belong together.
Until a misunderstanding sends them in separate directions.
This was a very easy read, and I wanted to finish it in one sitting and yet save it at the same time.
Now, I am waiting again for the next installment. I am anxious to see who was the antagonist that caused the rift between the Aiden Sinclair and Skye (Jade’s best friend) in the past.
Jade Sinclair has not always had money. She has worked for everything she has. Eli Stone is the total opposite. New to the billionaire world, Jade makes a snap decision about Eli and who he is that turns out to be wrong on several levels. Both Eli and Jade are a little emotionally scarred and neither believes they are good enough for the other. From the first chapter, Jan takes you on an emotional roller coaster that allows you to see just how scarred they are. But it also allows you to see just how perfect for each other they are! If you like a great story with even better characters and of course, an amazing HEA, you will LOVE this book!
What’s not to like about a J S Scott billionaire romance? She gives us unique, interesting and likable characters and stories that are really enjoyable to read. We can live a vicarious rich life for the few hours we immerse ourselves in one of her books.
Going from rags to riches is something most people dream about. But when it happens, how does one learn to be a billionaire? They don’t exactly have a billionaire’s school to attend. Jade Sinclair is struggling to reconcile her impoverished childhood with her newly found wealth. Who better to teach her than uber billionaire Eli Stone? She’s a reluctant student, at first, because she knows he has ulterior motives.Eli wants Jade and will do what it takes to have her. Somewhere along the way he discovers the want has turned to need.
Full disclosure…I am a superfan of J.S. Scott. Truly, I think the only bad things about her books is the fact that they end and I must wait months for the next one! And with Ensnared Scott created a whole new line of Sinclairs to enjoy! YES!!
Our heroine, Jade, is new to the world of wealth and finds it exciting but very overwhelming. That, along with her twin moving across the country, causes Jade to feel lost, afraid, and alone; needing to find her place in this new world. Eli, our hero, is both born of and a creator of more wealth. He is comfortable with it’s power and benefits but he hides a secret that prohibits him from enjoying a truly full life. As in most of these types of romances, two individuals must get past their insecurities, secrets and fears to find true love and their best life. The only negatives I could find with this story were 1) I would’ve like to have found out what Eli’s secret was earlier in the novel so we could understand the why he’s commitment-phobic. 2) The couples misunderstanding that keeps them separated for a few weeks. I felt that was a little too unbelievable, like other couples would’ve sought the truth more quickly or would’ve found a way around it more easily had they truly been this much in love. But, again, I still loved this story!
It always impresses me how Scott creates interesting plots and character dynamics with what an average writer would merely trope along in amateur fashion. I love this type of romance and being able to enjoy it in so many locations, careers, backgrounds, histories, secrets…well, it never gets old.
I absolutely loved the idea of The Sinclair sage continuing. In only a millionaire we meet the other family the Sinclair patriarch had, a family who was poor but thanks to his oldest child are now Sinclair billionaires. Jade Sinclair is not used to having money. She continues her work with wildlife conservation even though her brother gave her the means to live in luxury. J.S. Scott wrote Jades character with a sense of purpose and self worth that is truly inspiring. I loved her character and the humility she was given even after her world changed. Eli is a strong alpha. He loves adventure and the privileged life he has made for himself. Challenges are something to be embraced not run away from. So when Eli meets Jades he’s interested and Jades resistance to explore their chemistry is just another challenge he will embrace.
Edit
I absolutely loved Ensnared! I laughed and I cried. Eli Stone is an amazing man that trys to keep aprt of himself hidden. When he sees Jade Sinclair he wants her. Jade is struggling with this new life she has been given and Eli steps in to teach her the ropes. Eli never planned on falling in love but thats exactly what happened. Jade is blossoming under Eli’s help. When tragedy strikes can Eli move past the guilt and realize that he is absolutely addicted to his butterfly. Jade is learning that she is enough and loves Eli with everything she has. Can these two have a happy ending or will guilt and tragedy keep them apart.
This is one of my favourite books from J.S. Scott. I absolutely have fallen head over heals for Eli Stone. I get so engrosed in these books i can never put them down and always finish in one go which is probably why i need matchsticks to keep my eyes open today!!!
Eli is the strong alpha male we have come to love from a J.S. Scott book. I was completely hooked from the get go and i love and will always love how no matter what book you read you believe in the characters you root for them and i have never rooted so hard as i did for Eli and Jade
I went through all the emotions with ensnared and i think it was a fantastic opening to The Accidental Billionaires series.
I cannot wait for Entangled and have pre ordered
Ensnared The Accidental Billionaires Book 1 by J.S. Scott is a wonderful new series and I can’t wait for the next one.
I throughly enjoy this book how Jade Sinclair and Eli Stone get to know each other as the sparks of passion surrounds them. Jade wants a piece of land that Eli has, but doesn’t want to sell. Eli knows that Jade unsure in her new role of being a billionaire and decides to show her the ropes, among other things.
Eli wants Jade in his bed and the feeling is mutual, however Jade wants a relationship and Eli wants an arrangement.
After an accident occurs to Jade lust turns to love, but can Eli let go of the past. I truly enjoyed how J.S.Scott turns a physical attraction into a lovely love story with steamy passion and a HEA ending.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a steamy love story.
