5 star Review of Saving The Billionaire by Jane Harvey-Berrick
I really enjoyed the first book Guarding the Billionaire but this one was even better. From start to finish I was captivated by the story that Ms. Harvey-Berrick wove and could not put it down.
I fell hard and fast for Justin Trainer and honestly he just got even better in the second book. His outrageous inner dialogue had me laughing out loud on numerous occasions. He is an alpha through and through, not only hot but he has a heart of gold. The relationship he has with his daughter was heart melting and I loved their interactions which were laced throughout the story.
All of the characters captured and held my attention and the mystery and suspense that was woven throughout satisfied the inner mystery buff in me.
I loved how much more human Devon was in this story and I really was cheering for him to get a happily ever after as well as Justin and Rachel.
The suspense, mystery, and action was spot on and I was extremely satisfied how the author drew all the strings together to complete this story. In my opinion the ending was absolutely fitting and so much more than what I was expecting.
“—Neanderthal seems to be one of her favorite adjectives when it comes to me, I have no fucking idea why—”
I thought I loved Guarding the Billionaire, but Saving the Billionaire is even better. The sexy man in black won me over in the first chapter…of the first book. His dry humor, his filthy mouth, and his internal dialogue kept me giggle-snorting from start to finish.
Justin is a caveman, badass and possessive, but with a heart of gold. If you don’t believe me, just wait till you experience #DaddyTime with #PrincessLilly. You’re guaranteed to melt into a puddle of goo at the sweetness of him with his baby girl…sigh.
Who wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of his attention? Well, the bad guys obviously! He’s lethal with his weapon, all of them. Just ask the lucky lady on the receiving end of his charm and his ‘special skills’.
The deeper I got into this story, the more invested I became, and the more I fell in love with the characters. Most of them. There’s still that one who shall remain unspoken who activated my #CreepRadar from the beginning. I had my suspicions about him and it was torture waiting to know if I was right. I take my profiling very seriously and I’m keeping count of my correct guesses. I won’t tell you if I was right or not, because you probably got the chills too, right? I don’t want to spoil your fun, you deserve to experience the thrill.
I can tell you that I really enjoyed being inside Justin’s head. He’s hilarious and down to earth. He’s also very smart. If I wasn’t on his team, I’d just give up and not waste my time trying. He’s also a wealth of info regarding military practices and terms. My favorite is, “We have a word for that in the military: SUSFU—Situation unchanged, still fucked up.” I think I’ll start using that when people ask me how I’m doing.
The author ticked all my boxes with these books, I can’t decide which trope I appreciate the most, but I’m glad I didn’t have to choose and got to experience the suspense, the laughter, and the passion without limit. I’m looking forward to whatever she has for us next. The line forms here…
I can’t believe this book can be as hilarious as the first one, but it is. Jane Harvey-Berrick has an incredible talent to write light-hearted and funny fiction with pieces of angst and drama and mayhem. This was one totally entertaining story that kept me smiling, chortling, laughing out loud and also feeling for the characters in their search of an HEA.
In the previous book, Mr. Anderson is being blackmailed for a gazillion dollars with the menace of releasing compromising videos of the kinky activities held at the farm. Talk about your past demeanors coming to kick you in the butt. In some sense, I felt that he had it coming. But he’s a very decent fellow apart from his kinkiness and we love that he’s so in love with his Maria, so we forgive him.
Poor Justin Trainer, his bodyguard, is running ragged, while searching for intel on the blackmailer, upping the security around Mr. Anderson and his now girlfriend. All while pursuing his own romance with Mrs. Smith.
There are several security incidents, a lot of outside activities that strain Justin’s resources and patience, and meanwhile, the women are stubborn and resist close surveillance. There’s tension in the story as they live their life waiting for something to happen and then we have the spectacular finale where Trainer saves the day and is shot in an embarrassing body part. Funny until the end, a real page-turner, full of family moments, human crisis, human frailty and one wicked witch of an ex-wife, plus one precious little princess called Lily. This has been a fantastic read, and I want more Justin Trainer stories. FSOG, take a leap LOL
I loved this story so much!!! I was in love with the characters from book one “Guarding the Billionaire”. Secrets, so many secrets, dirty secrets, secrets that never should have happened. But did, for many years, under the guise of a “old family friend”. Our billionaire, Devon Anderson, I will admit that I didn’t always like him or his actions but then he would redeem himself 100% and I was in love with his character. Hope, so much hope I felt throughout this story. Hope for him to really fall in love with Maria. She wanted a job with his company, he saw so much more in her.
The bodyguard, ah the bodyguard, Mr T., Justin Trainer. Working his way through finding the time to spend with his daughter to guarding and saving the billionaire to falling in love with the housekeeper. Rachel is so much more than the housekeeper. She really cares for Devon and wants only the best for him. Back to Justin for a minute, such a dirty mouth on him but it worked with the story and he really does try to curb it for Rachel’s sake. Its a tough job balancing everything he has on his plate that he is sometimes overwhelmed, feels like he needs to quit. Attempts to quit but that gets shot down fast!!! Devon is not letting him go.
You will experience loads of emotions while reading this story, and please, please start with the first book, “Guarding the Billionaire”. That’s where you learn most of what makes Mr Anderson the way he is and then you can witness his rebirth in this book, “Saving the Billionaire”. Have a tissue handy because you’ll need it but also watch out for the bouts of “laugh out loud” moments. There are plenty so enjoy the ride and fall in love with these wonderful characters. I read the other reviews and would also love to revisit these couples several years down the line to see how they are doing and hope that Jane can find a way to sneak them in somewhere or give a “update novella”.
Entertaining. Sexy. Swoony. Brilliant read. Highly recommend!
This conclusion to Justin Trainer’s story is everything I was hoping it would be. Justin’s narrative of the story is witty, sarcastic and pithy. His colourful language and blunt expressions are on point. This is interspersed with the occasional passage from the fragrant Mrs Smith, whose genteel optimism is the perfect foil to Justin’s forthright views.
The billionaire in question, Devon Anderson, has undergone a great transformation in his life. He’s turned his back on his previous lifestyle, which inevitably upsets those he is leaving behind and threatens those now taking their place.
Justin has his work cut out protecting his boss, the boss’s new paramour and his own love, the aforementioned Rachel Smith. The threats seems to come from left and right and our Alpha male bodyguard is in his element, tracking down bad guys and eliminating peril.
The storyline rocks along at a great pace and I devoured the book far too quickly. It is un-put-down-able.
I can’t get enough of Justin Trainer. He’s the man women want and men want to be. This reader is entirely smitten with him and could read a stack of Justin Trainer novels. The world needs more characters like him!
Round two for another amazing suspense filled and intense journey with sexy bodyguard Justin Trainer. Trainer shockingly has found love with Rachel now if he can only get her to say yes to marry him. He never expected to love again after his first marriage fell apart. As he enjoys this new love life, the challenges of protecting Devon Anderson persist. The blackmailer is still lurking out there but even bigger is that Devon has met a woman, Maria, that has captivated him body and soul. This adds more people to protect as the threats ramp up against Devon. I loved all the twists and turns of this mystery along with being inside Trainer’s intense mind as he works through how to provide the right protection but also dealing with his shortcomings. He expects perfection from himself which means he has to find a balance and realize that isn’t always possible. His moments with his daughter, Lilly, are beautiful. The relationship that happens naturally between him and Devon and Maria is wonderful too as they trust him with their lives. And Rachel is a perfect match to keep his cocky attitude in check. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
