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 enjoyed reading this story mainly due to the wonderfully crafted characters. The storyline was well written with plenty of suspense and drama. The sensual scenes between them were exciting to read. A wonderful story that was hard to put down.
What a great story! Lots of twists and turns keeps you wondering. I loved the characters and the story line. I’m going back to Book 1 to read them all!
Their relationship became more intense as time passed!

This book is the first of this series I have read, and I was immediately captivated by the storyline. Tinsley and Landon are the two main characters who were attracted to each other but cannot afford to be distracted in the immediate future. Tinsley had sold her company to a larger startup company that Landon owned with his sister. When the company’s network is compromised, Kinsley, and Landon work together to solve the problem, which becomes more complex as time passes. Their relationship becomes more intense as time passed, and when personal issues force Landon to step back from the company, Tinsley is under increased pressure to complete the project on her own. I liked the way the author uses dialogue and settings in this story. As I read this book, I became more immersed in the story and the dramas within the story as they unfolded. I was able to visualize the scenes in my mind as I read them, as each stage flowed onto the next smoothly, it compelled me to keep reading! I enjoyed this book and looked forward to reading more books in the series.

SPOILER
quite a long book – over 40 chapters with decent pacing. Story revolves around Tinsley & Landon who meet at a bar and then realise the next day that they are to become business partners, they decide to take it slow and see if in 6 months they still want each other. There is a plot of drama and mystery, with someone trying to spy on the company and a fake pregnancy scare with Landon and a woman he’s never met. Good pacing, good chemistry and an engaging story.

This book is so full of twists and turns. I loved the suspense, surprises, chemistry, and passion. This book kept me guessing throughout, so many different characters that could have been the antagonist. I loved Tinsley and Landon, they had their ups and downs but loved how they worked through it.

I received a free ARC of this novel via Book Sprout in exchange for an honest review. My opinion is my own.
This is the third book in the Tech Billionaire series by Ms St Claire. While the previous ones were excellent I think this one is my favorite. The female lead is an amazingly smart and driven young woman that brings scifi into real life applications. The guy is your typical playboy with too much money and not enough discretion in his life. Until crazy life circumstance bring them together after a chance encounter in a bar. Issues abound including an unfinished bit from previous books in this series. It definitely kept my attention from beginning to end. I can’t wait for the next one!
This book is amazing. I stayed up way to late reading because I just wanted to finish it. I absolutely loved Tinsley. I think she’s my favorite in this entire series so far. But I seem to say that with every book. They just keep getting better.
This is the third book in the Tech Billionaires series. This is Landon and Tinsley’s story. In a nutshell, Landon wants to purchase Tinsley’s company that she is selling. There one romantic night together turns out to haunt them both. There seems to be a challenge and a twist for our characters around every corner of this book. There is alot on the line but can they work together and find success both professionally and personally? This was a great story, I loved it. I could not read and turn the pages fast enough. I was rooting for Landon and Tinsley to find their profeasional strength together and so happy to see they found so much more. Enjoy!

This ARC was provided by the author via BookSprout. Obviously, I am a big fan of this author and her books. This one is part of her Tech Billionaire series, which is similar and includes many of the secondary characters from the Venture Capitalist series. These books have interesting characters and I really enjoy the business side of characters.
This is the story of Landon and Tinsley, who meet in a bar and have brief coatroom encounter expecting to not see each other again. Except the following day, Tinsley walks into the boardroom of the company that has taken over her business to find Landon is her new business partner. From their first meeting there is explosive chemistry, but now that they are business partners Tinsley is hesitate to jump into a relationship with him. Plus, he has a bit of a manwhore persona that makes it difficult to believe he would want a monogamous relationship. Their business relationship helps to build something more than just hot chemistry between them.
There is plenty of secrecy, drama, and corporate espionage to keep the story moving and the reader guessing how it will end. One of the things I like about this author is that her series have an underlying mystery to keeps the books linked and make you want to keep going with the series. My only issue with this book was something that happened with Landon and how he handled the fallout, but do not want to put in any spoilers. Sufficient to say, I would not be as forgiving as Tinsley.
A wonderful story premise that gets the blood pumping and pulls you right in from the start!! Loved the “tech” aspect of the story. The characters were all great including Tinsley and Landon! very entertaining!!

No spoilers here. I know with Claire’s books I won’t be disappointed. The story line captivates the reader, flows smoothly from page to page and is great entertainment. Her characters are fantastic, each of them strong and well developed. You’ll love getting to know the main characters and the supporting characters and how everyone feels like family when you’ve finished reading the last page. Highly recommend.

Third book in this fabulous series but reads as a standalone…
I won’t go into detail about this flawless page turner as there’s a very good blurb description & previous reviews have it covered too. What I did enjoy was recognising a number of characters from previous books & it was compelling with strong main characters, lots of mystery & potential danger whilst the hero & heroine couldn’t get enough of each other in & out of the bedroom…explosive! This is one of my top ten authors & once again, she nailed it. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
Ohhhhh the Tech Billionaire’s are back and in more trouble than before. I won’t lie, I am not tech savvy at all. But the way Ainsley St. Claire talks about what our hero and heroine do in Sleight of Hand didn’t leave me in the dark. I was right there with them chanting come on! Figure it out!!
I really liked Tinsley and her smarts. How she wasn’t intimidated at being in a ‘mans world’. She worked hard to get where she was and she wasn’t going to let anything stop her from accomplishing her goal. Even the attraction to her new business partner.
Wow weeeee! Landon! A playboy with more money than sense sometimes. But he was also brilliantly smart. And unable to get his night with Tinsley out of his head. He wanted her, badly, something that was new for him. And he was determined to put in the work to see where things could go for them. But just as fast as things took off, the problems started pouring in. Issues that nobody could seem to figure out left more questions than answers. And as frustrating as that was, it was Landon’s personal mess that really got him into hot water.
I feel like there was almost too much happening at the same time and it made how everything wrapped up a bit anticlimactic. I wanted more of the uncovering of the schemes and deviousness that had plagued both Tinsley and Landon almost from the start. Other than that, Sleight of Hand was smart and steamy and kept me glued to my kindle. And I can’t wait to see what drama Ainsley St. Claire has in store for this group of friends next.
This is first series I have read from this series and I enjoyed it.
Tinsley finally sold her program and became a partner in Disruptive Tech. Now she was celebrating her success with her best friend at a bar and meets handsome stranger. She decides to have fun and have her way with this stranger.
When Landon is ready to sign all the papers with new tech, he never expected to see “Amanda” aka Ainsley. He couldn’t forget her but now things will be more complicated for both. But one thing for sure, he wanted her more than just partners.
Tinsley, Landon and Claire need to work together to launch their tech before someone else does. Landon wants more than just one night and Tinsley wants approval from his sister and get to know each other. So she asks him for six months but it will be longest 6th months for both of them. They are spending more and more time together at work but there are some issues with her computer and it is only the beginning.
Landon and Tinsley were running into more problem with their work and relationship. Nothing is going to solve their problems and his circle friends are involved. Will Tinsley and Landon work through it or will they give up on each other even before their relationship has started.
I didn’t read the other books and after reading this one, I would love to get to know all of Landon’s friends. They seems like great in this book and I would like to know all of them.

If you’re a fan of the “Tech Billionaire” series, you will love this book. Ainsley St. Claire has written an incredible series about a group of friends, all billionaires, who are a part of the tech industry. Each of the books centers on a character whose company has been comprimised in some way. Although each can be read as a stand alone, they are all entwined and there is a continuing thread which appears in each story.
“Sleight of Hand” is Landon’s story. He is not only a billionaire, but part of an elite poker group that plays for very high stakes. He has lead a reckless lifestyle that has fianlly caught up with him. As his personal life takes one hit after another, his professional life also is being sabbatoged. Tinsley, Landon’s and his sister, Claire’s new business partner, is being hacked. She creates a new type of technology that could change the way the world interacts together; however, someone is trying to stop her. This adds to the tension already filling Landon’s life.
While St. Claire does a fabulous job of writing about the tech world, she also creates of wonderful romance. Landon and Tinsley are great together. Tinsley is young, intelligent and independent. She surrounds herself with a team of incredibly capable women who are surpassing all others in a typically male dominated industry. Landon, who has usually dated the bimbo type, sees Tinsley as refreshing and they discover had suited they are for each other.
It should be noted that while I’m not sure I would call the “Tech Billionaire” series cliffhangers, I would say that they are a continuing series. This story left many questions unanswered. “Sleight of Hand” did allude to the fact that there could be a common thread in each of her stories. I am really looking forward to the next installation!
I would definitely recommend all of the books in the series.

(Warning: part of a series, but each have different sets of main characters within their world, each book has its own HEA)
I cannot get enough of this author and this series!
Intensely sensuous, wrought with emotion, and so well written that I absolutely could not put it down!
Each book has been cohesive and enlightening to the overall theme between these characters.
