Can’t Buy Me Love It’s Tag Crane’s job to be the life of the party. Traveling from one exotic locale to another is just part of running the luxurious Crane Hotel empire. But even paradise isn’t perfect. Devising a new business strategy is keeping Tag up at night-and so is the Great Dane barking at all hours in the apartment below his. To muzzle the problem, Tag charges downstairs . . . right into … problem, Tag charges downstairs . . . right into the most beautiful, blond distraction he’s ever seen.
Dog-sitting by day, bartending by night. It’s not exactly the life Rachel Foster dreamed of. But when Tag Crane rushes in, all mountain-man shoulders and obscenely sexy smile, needing her help for the Crane Hotels, it’s a fantasy come true. What’s the harm in a fun no-strings fling? Only a fool would give her heart to a billionaire player like Tag-until suddenly the one man who can’t be caught is the one flirting with forever . . .

Its sweet, its funny, its so hot it can burn the pages as you read it! Tag is the brother who is so nice that his exes consider him as friends, even though he reeks of commitment phobia. Enter his match the ever delightful, badly hurt and as equally afraid of commitment as he is. So when, sparks fly, attractions blasts off and the end is happy ever after why then are these two shying away from it?
The Billionaire Next Door will have you laughing, swooning and yes crying for a bit because the two nicest protagonists in romancelandia like Tag and Rachel deserve their HEA!
Seeing his friends and family find their happily ever afters and permanently tying themselves to one person for the rest of their lives has Tag Crane appreciating his single playboy status even more. He can’t seem to find the appeal of it, the mere thought of him experiencing it has him wanting to run, it would totally cramp his nomadic lifestyle and he isn’t having that! That is until he meets the beautiful new girl staying in his building, from the moment they meet there is a magnetic pull between them that he has never experienced before, and it seems to be something he’s not going to be able walk away from either. The problem is she doesn’t want anything to do with him, and nothing drives a man like Tag crazy like a woman he can’t have!!!
It was suppose to be a simple dog sitting job, and a free stay in a fancy apartment for a month while her “regular” customer is away on business, but then Mr. Sexy had to crash into her world and turn it upside down. Meeting a man wasn’t part of the plan, especially a man like Tag Crane, he has trouble written all over him and Rachel is certain her heart isn’t strong enough for another devastating heart break. But no matter how many times she sends Mr. Sexy the “not interested” vibe he just doesn’t seem to take the hint, and keeps coming back for more…
Once again Ms. Lemmon has brought her “A” game, Tag and Rachel’s story completely captivated my attention from the get-go and had me craving more… and I am happy to report what I found left me completely satisfied!! Their story was packed with seductive one liners that had me swooning, heated witty banter that had me giggling out loud, and a touching story line that left an indelible impression on my heart!! If you like your stories a little on the naughty side and equipped with smooth talking alpha sure to rob you of your heart, (and your good sense) then I HIGHLY recommend you meet the men of the Billionaire Bad Boys Series!!
Here’s the deal … Jessica Lemmon is one of my absolute favorite authors that I’ve discovered this year. The three books that I’ve read by her have all been beyond fabulous and I know that when I pick up one of her books, I’m going to probably read it in one sitting, I’m going to fall in love with the handsome hero and I’m not going to want the book to end. This one was no exception.
I enjoyed the first book in this series (The Billionaire Bachelor) so very much that I didn’t think anything would top it but this one did! I think that I loved it more because of Tag. Who would have thought that any dude could be better than Reese?!? I sure didn’t. I absolutely adored that dude. But with Tag … I worshiped the ground that this fictional character walked upon. I’ve been wracking my brain to figure out what was so different about Tag and I just don’t know. The characters are both very well written and fully fleshed out, they are both stubborn and sweet and protective and just utterly perfect. Maybe it was just Tag’s vibe. That has to be it.
Oh, Rachel. This lady … I loved her spunk from the very beginning. I think that she’s one of my favorite leading ladies that I’ve read about this year. And again, I can’t put my finger on why … maybe it’s because she’s so independent and wants to do things on her own to prove not to someone else but to herself that she can do it. I think all of us could use a little internal Rachel.
And here’s the deal … before you start rolling your eyes about this being a billionaire romance, you should give it a shot! This little sub-genre has gotten a bad wrap because of some authors that didn’t do a very good job at conveying their story. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater! If you give this one a shot and don’t like it, I would be shocked because you just can’t help but fall in love with Tag and Rachel and their story.
Anyway … great book, even better series and a stellar author. I’d follow this lady off a cliff if she was dangling her books behind her.
