The night was magical, the morning after wasn’t.I was celebrating selling my company when I noticed him enter the bar. Landon knew just what to say and one thing led to another. It was supposed to be a onetime thing, but reality slapped me in the face the next morning. He arrived to sign the purchase papers, and now I was committed to work for him for an entire decade. When I can’t make my code … make my code work, his patience runs thin. Someone is sabotaging us, and if we can’t figure it out, I’ll have no company, no money, and no future.
That night Tinsley offered something I couldn’t resist. Now she works for me, and I have to put that night behind us. The project isn’t getting finished, and the competition is nipping at our heels. My firm put a lot of money into this, and if I can’t get it sorted out we lose and it affects a lot of people. I thought I was going to ruin her for other men when this was over, but she may ruin me first.
Competition in the sector is fierce. Mutual attraction and a looming deadline collide in a volatile mix when Landon and Tinsley are forced together. Will missing coworkers, paparazzi, paternity suits, poker tournaments, and other distractions all conspire to threaten their future?
Sleight of Hand is a standalone romantic suspense novel with a happy ending. It’s the third book in the Billionaire Tech Series featuring the characters from the Venture Capitalist and Clear Security series.

I love this series to pieces. Each one of these books is on my wish list for a signed copy to be added to my library. I savor every word I read. Landon has always been a player enjoying himself carefully. Tinsley has been busy building a name for herself. A night of celebration puts them together. The next day binds them long term. The author doesn’t rush the story. She builds the drama and gives the reader time to become invested in the lives of the characters. The sex is adult and steamy. The conversations are deep and focused. Even when being playful everything has meaning. Everything ties up smoothly so that the reader is not left asking questions. Tinsley and Landon solve their issues and survive because of trust and love. I can’t wait to read the next in series.
Captivating and intense, full of suspense and twists that will have you ducking and weaving around.
The chemistry was really well done and I did not expect the way the story all came together. Read this one on the weekend because it’s impossible to put down

I had never read a book from this author before, but I got the chance to read an ARC of Sleigh of Hand. I didn’t know what to expect, so I went in with no big expectations but I was very pleasantly surprised. The story line is very good and consistent, the characters development, the story development it was all very good. I loved Tinsley and Landon, as well as the secondary characters. I’m hoping to get a book on Claire, Nate, Chrissy and the others. I really really liked this book. I’m not good at not putting spoilers up so I am going to keep the review short and precise. I loved the book, the writing, the story line and all the characters. I definitely recommend this book.
Excellent! This story is full of twists and turn that you won’t want to put it down! This story is part of a series but is fine as a stand alone! However the characters are so warm and welcoming and pop in and out of all the books you will want to read all the Ainsley St. Claire books! I already have the next book marked in my calendar! I voluntarily read this as an arc copy!!
Ainsley St Claire writes another suspenseful adventure mixed with new business and boudoir partnerships that kept me immersed in the story long into the night.
Landon and his sister become partners with software developer Tinsley who has a unique translation product that they need to beat competitors to the market. All sorts of seemingly unrelated yet very disturbing roadblocks involving dead bodies, FBI, high tech hacking and numerous “what have yous” start happening and stress the already fragile relationship starting between Landon and Tinsley.
A common theme in all the books in the series is revisited in Montana. A dozen multi billionaires meet periodically for high stakes poker. This time Landon hosts at the ranch he won at the last meet up. The men and women all seem to become parts of smaller, mysterious plots including being suspects in a murder which has not yet been solved. The murder story runs through each book of the series and is one of the reasons I keep reading it – every little piece that gets added to Cecelia’s tragic murder keeps me thinking about what we will eventually find.
You will not be disappointed with the romance or steam with this pair. They have their rocky moments, but their passion is unwavering. You really don’t have to read the other books in the series, but you are going to want to. This one is another top notch read.

This is book 3 in the series and is definitely a new favorite couple for me. I adored Tinsley and aside from a few chapters midway thru the book where Landon screws things up I adored Landon. I felt those chapters were very weird in that they did not seem like something Landon would do. But aside from that I absolutely adored this couple and the story. I cannot wait for the next story in this series.
What I loved about this story is that Landon meets Tinsley at a bar and then work and he falls into instalust. I loved that throughout this story, they never are tied to anyone else romantically, just each other. There are exes on both sides stirring up trouble but aside from legal issues we never see them dating anyone but each other.
At times I felt Landon’s sister got very weird but I loved having her be a part of this story and I look forward t reading her story. This story follows Landon and his sister who have a new business partner, Tinsley. She is writing a unique computer program and so we get to see her work hard at cracking the code and the people out to stop her.
I loved this story so much and as I said I am excited about the next book too.

She has skills that Landon went after. He not only bought her company but she is under him for the next ten years. Their chemistry will come under fire in so many ways in this story that will have you all hyped up and on edge from start to finish. I love Ainsley stories and only she can weave a tale that mesmerize and have you in awe! The characters are dynamic and the detail given to the storyline draws you in with baited breath as it unfolds.

The day I discovered author Ainsley St Claire’s books was one of the best things ever. I hungerly devoured all she had written and couldn’t wait for the next one to be released. Her newest series, Tech Billionaires is just as amazing.
Bright and beautiful Tinsley, has just sold her company to SHN owned by Claire Walsh and her playboy brother Landon. This is Tinsley and Landon’s story. Complete with all the romance and suspense we love from Ainsley. I do believe each book gets better and better!
The Language of Love Translated by the Heart
Tinsley Pratt, beautiful honey-blonde tech innovator, honed her skills at Stanford with a degree in electrical engineering and software development and has now sold her company, Translations, with the vision of revolutionizing communications with translation program which can translate an array of languages, in real time, recognizing the subtleties of slang and idioms in any language. Start-up company, Disruptive Technologies, the brainchild of a brother-sister team—Landon and Claire Walsh—made an offer for Tinsley’s company with support—with both financial and technical of SHN, one of San Francisco’s most innovative and financially supportive new start investors. And Tinsley accepts with the agreement that she and her technology team would support and integrate her translation program into the Walsh’s new software platform.
To celebrate Tinsley’s genius and new partnership, she and her best friend Chrissy Matthews, a Harvard MBA who runs the marketing for a major bank, hit the bars to mark Tinsley’s accomplishment and her company’s 10-million-dollar price tag. And, they do so under the pseudonyms of “Amanda” and “Madeline,” only looking for fun and no complications. So, when they meet “Peter Landon” and sparks fly between “Amanda” and “Peter,” both feel secure engaging in no strings sex in the coat closet of the bar.
But, when Tinsley joins her new partner, Claire Walsh and Claire’s brother—whom she has never met—in their offices, she is stunned that “Peter,” her closet lover from the night before, is in fact Landon Walsh, her new business partner and co-worker. And, the awkwardness of their previous encounter is only amplified as Tinsley and her team begin to work in the Walsh offices only to be frustrated when the only computer that won’t properly connect to the server and backup is Tinsley’s. It seems that this new translation software merger between the Walsh siblings and Tinsley is doomed before it has even launched. Adding complications are legal challenges against Landon Walsh in two cities—Las Vegas wants to interview him in conjunction with a missing person/murder that took place at the Shangri-La Hotel and Casino during the time he participated in a closed poker-game, and the San Francisco police are seeking to interview him about a missing person investigation of a former girlfriend who claims that he is the father of her unborn child.
Once more, author Ainsley St. Claire provides her readers with all their desires—a cleverly crafted plot with unexpected twists and turns, telling the stories of intelligent, compelling women engaged in realistic relationships with handsome, hot, passionate men who are respectful and supportive of the women in their orbit. What makes a St Claire novel such an engaging, powerful and emotional reading experience is her masterful plot construction, connecting the lives of interesting, realistic characters in contemporary events of social and cultural concern. Love is always the ultimate result, but as a reader, the experience is most enjoyable as St Claire lures the reader both intellectually and emotionally to consider the actions and choices individuals make, not just for themselves, but to help others. The novels always focus on really good people trying to make a difference in our world. This novel is the third installment in the Tech Billionaires series, but each is able to be read as a standalone experience. Tech Billionaires is smart, energetic, and exciting series. And, in this novel as in the novels of her other series, the reader can get a taste of the next volume in the final pages of the romance. So, at the beginning, in the middle or at the end, don’t be afraid to jump into a St. Claire series, the author always has you covered. Having had such a delectable taste, of this new series, I really want to taste more!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review, but I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a copy for my “read again” list.
I’m probably about to repeat myself but… I’m absolutely LOVING this series especially this couple. Their chemistry is off the charts. Landon has definitely met his match in life when he met Tinsley.
Grab something strong to drink and curl up with a good blanket because once you start this book you won’t be able to put it down and after the teaser we got of the next book I’m even more excited. I can’t wait to read it next!!
