I really enjoyed this is a steamy and exhilarating forbidden romance. Philomena is a strong, successful business woman. She has met her match in a sexy billionaire badboy who is hard to please. Liam has hired Philomena because she is the best, and he wants her to find the perfect home for him. This job will not be easy and neither wants to compromise. But as their banter heats up, so do the sparks that fly between them. After a night of giving in to their steamy passion, everything changes. Philomena feels guilt and Liam is determined to prove they are perfect for each other. But when someone is out for revenge, these explosive lovers could lose it all. This fast paced, steamy romance was brought to life by narrator Daniel James Lewis. I loved his distinct voices, especially his Irish and Boston accents, which really made this story feel authentic. His pacing and intonations were wonderful and I was easily lost in his performance.
THE PAST CAN COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU
A ‘Bad Billionaire Boy’ story that shows the consequences on ‘Love ‘em and Leave ‘em’ relationships. It shows the fragile egos and psyches of those that pine and those who finally learn to love. Liam is a prime example of most modern day males who are only out to scratch their itch. They let it be known what they are looking for, but don’t take their temporary partner’s feelings into consideration. Somehow, things get twisted and the drama and mystery begin when he accidentally reunites with Philomena.

Hard Interest is just that! Two strong willed people, trying to work together. Having met in the past, with an attraction not given into, Philomena and Liam come together again to find Liam the perfect house. He chooses Philomena for several reasons, first her reputation precedes her. She is the real estate agent to the stars, and if she can’t find a house for him, no one can. But more importantly, they have that sizzling attraction to each other, and he plans on acting on it. But not yet. There is some danger lurking, and he does not want her involved. With witty banter between these two, explosive chemistry and a suspense line to keep you interested, this listen is fun and entertaining.

When you want the best, you seek out the best especially when the “best” happens to be the real estate you have decided needs to be in your life and oh yes, to find your perfect home. Liam chooses Philomena, the Real Estate to the Stars and as part of his plan decides to “delay” choosing the property he wants while trying to convince Philomena to be part of the deal. I thought this was a well written story with two great characters who interacted well with each other.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest and totally voluntary review.

Hard Interest
Philomena was a heroine that burst through the pages of this story with strength, smarts, and grit. Her personality was almost masculine and not in an appealing way. Cold, calculating, and emasculating, she ran her business with an iron fist and took no prisoners along the way.
I wasn’t sure if I was comfortable with her aggressive and cold personality.
Enter Liam. Equally confident, sure, and controlling.
I ended up loving this tensely erotic romance that was dark and compelling. I liked the revealing of their history together and mutual passion and longing.
In the midst of their romantic battle, someone is targeting Liam, and Philomena’s life is endangered by her association with him.
Great writing that was seductive and fast paced.
Star Studded Disaster

I enjoyed this contemporary romance with this enjoyable couple.

Two strong characters who use their strengths and attributes to their advantage! Loved Liam and Mena…and I am a HUGE sucker for an Irishman!
This set has hardened alphas you will not be able to resist. One is a real estate mogul and the other is a Hollywood heart throb. Both stories are intense and will enthrall you until the last page of the last story. I liked Hard Interest better but they both entertain. In Hard Interest, Liam and Mena are both determined people that go after what they want. They have a lot in common and use it to their advantage. Mena is a strong independent woman who prides herself in taking care of her clients. This take no prisoners attitude of Liam and Mena has a bit of suspense and mystery because someone is out to do harm and to add to the drama their relationship is getting personal. Will these two be able to handle the flames of love and still be adversaries. Star Studded Disaster involves Evander who is a Hollywood heartthrob who is a broken addict who has succumbed to his inner demons. Will he get the help he needs? Will it come in the form of the woman who is sent to fix his reputation?

Irresistible ego fight
I loved the two main characters in this story. They both want to dominate and lead the negotiations and do not hesitate to achieve their goal, and none wants to surrender. It’s well written, funny, with a hint of mystery and suspense.
Finally a romance in which the bad boss is a carier woman, who for the money does not hesitate to threaten to dismiss his employees who do not sleep because of their newborn. In short, she’s unpleasant from the first lines. And yet, when Philomena knows she is going to have to sell a big property to Liam who has scoured all the agencies in Boston without finding his happiness (not for lack of idea, but by the precision of what he wants) Philomena takes the challenge head on. That’s all her work, reorienting the client to what she wants and not what they think they want.
From their first meeting, remarks gush, gestures too, seduction to force the other to lower his guard, without achieving it completely. Then after a few hours, Philomena understands that she has already tried, intoxicated, to seduce Liam in his bar a few months ago. Their behavior changes because he and she want only one thing, to go further than just kisses. However, their work relations, and the threats that increase around Liam constantly come into question this attraction.

I found the book to be slow at the start, then improved as it went on. The book had some twists and turns that was unexpected. *The power play between two people* then the happy ending everyone likes to have, the feeling of warmth .

ONE HOT, HARD AND SIZZLING!!!
Wow! Talk about fireworks. This is an action packed, fast paced, heart pounding, pulse racing, smooth flowing, page turning dynamo that grabs your attention and holds it until the last word. All the drama, uncertainty, fear, confusion, danger and suspense increases steadily while tension spirials as the plot thickens. The twists and turns abound with unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises that make for one thrilling experience. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this little jewel together beautifully. Kelli did a remarkable job bringing this read to life brilliantly. Great job Kelli, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
I usually love books by this author, but this book left me cold. Philomena is a cold, arrogant real estate mogul with control issues that is very difficult to relate to. Liam is an arrogant playboy businessman with commitment and control issues. Somehow they fall in love in between attempts on his life. I really liked the plot twist about the person stalking Liam, that was completely unforseen!

Both Philomena and Liam’s families were immigrants and moved to America for a better life. After going through several realtors trying to find the home he wants, he hires the best, Philomena. They are both used to getting what they want and they are constantly trying to second guess each other assert their authority. There is a strong attraction to each other that they both are trying to make the other one lose control. Liam has been stalling to pick a house just spend more time with Philomena. Liam has also hired the best detectives to help him after someone ransacked his home, slashed his tires and tried to run him down. This book was a little slow at the beginning, but the more I read the more I got hooked. It’s a fun read with great chemistry and some suspense,

This book started out as a 4 star read for me and I was hoping it would climb to 5 stars, instead it backslid to 3 stars.
Philomena started out so strong for me, her staff meeting had me thinking here is a strong woman who goes after what she wants. She has a ruthless side but she also has a secret caring side. When she and Liam met up I thought they have met their match in each other. At first that seemed to be the case but it very quickly turned to Philomena acting like a high school girl and Liam a bit of a jock.
I liked both of their interactions with their confidantes. Philomena with her protégé and Liam with his head bartender, it made them more human and caring. The push and pull of the sexual tension was a nice change up from the usual jumping into bed right away scenario.
What brought the stars down for me was the weird introduction of a type of whodunit mystery of Liam’s burglary. Complete with good cop bad cop routine. It felt like there were two books or maybe two authors handling different parts of the book. The storyline with Philomena and Liam had a great strength to it the other aspect of the storyline just felt forced and a bit outlandishly nonsensical.
What was frustrating after a while was how Philomena became a bit wishy washy and the strength she showed in the beginning just vanished. After a bit the story just lost momentum for me and I just had to make myself finish it. Disappointing as it showed such great promise in the beginning.

Hot, sexy and packed with with the unexpected…
Nothing like a hot, sexy book that pulls you in and takes your breath away. I couldn’t put it down, I was so comfortable letting my mind wonder over what would happen next between the characters, even having a laugh here and there. While reading to relax, this book just pulls you in and makes you feel as if you’re a part of it, watching it all before your eyes.
