**A NY TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER*Down on her luck, nursing student and full-time waitress Kara Foster gets a massive blow to her already desperate financial situation that will surely find her living on the streets. Needing nothing less than a miracle to save her, Kara gets rescue from an unknown, unlikely and overwhelming source. Billionaire Simon Hudson makes her an offer that is … Hudson makes her an offer that is impossible to refuse, but terrifying to accept from a man that she’s never met. Will the handsome, alpha billionaire really be a solution to her problems, or will he end up being a major complication and a danger to her emotional sanity?
Reclusive billionaire Simon Hudson would rather be behind a computer creating computer games than rubbing elbows with the elite and he knows exactly what he wants…until he meets Kara Foster. Something about Kara touches Simon in ways he’s never experienced and definitely doesn’t like. For over a year, Simon watches over Kara, but stubbornly refuses to admit his desire to possess her, not even to himself. But when she ends up in a situation that could very well be her destruction, Simon steps up to help her, not realizing that in saving Kara, he might very well be salvaging his own soul.

Love J.S. Scott — and that her characters interact from previous books.
Couldn’t put this book down! Simon & Kara’s story was a grrreat one….and then I wasn’t content until I finished the next book, that of Simon’s brother Sam & Kara’s bestie Maddie. Yummy!!
Probably my favorite of all of JS Scott’s wonderful billionaire reads. Simon and Kara are perfect together!
LOVED IT!!!!
Loved this book. It was my first read by author j s Scott and now I’m hooked!
This series was soooooooooo good! It had hot sex, suspense, fights and lots of love! Hot Hot Hot! Simon is a nerdy sexy billionaire but he knows how to treat a woman! I need one!
I was a little leery about this story when I first started it, but in the end, I loved it. It was entertaining and enjoyable even with the stalking and possessiveness. The characters were interesting and likable. Simon was wonderful. He was scarred both mentally and physically from an event when he was a teenager. That event also led Simon to lead a life where he has to have complete control, over everything in his life. Once he sees Kara he knows that he wants to protect her and care for her even if they can never be together because of how scarred he is (in and out). Kara is a nursing student and a waitress that is holding on by the skin of her teeth. She knows what she has to do in order to stay afloat and does that. When Kara and Simon meet, things go from bad to worse for Kara (initially) but Simon is there to help. It makes Simon happy to help Kara even though she fights him every step of the way. A deal is struck between them that will have a huge impact on both Simon and Kara. I loved their happy ever after. I recommend reading this book. Or listening to it as the narrator is great. I enjoyed listening to the book a lot.
I had read this book years ago and was given the opportunity to listen to the audiobook. I thought the narrator handled both the male and female dialogue well.
Simon originally comes across as stalkerish with his Obsession with Kara. Just the way he was described in the first chapter made him seem dangerous. Although he never did anything to put her in danger, or alter her life. Then he made the decision to intervene one evening. Even that was for her benefit. Simon’s personality started to develop when Kara entered his life. Between being a computer geek and having a traumatic event in his life, I guess he was doing fairly well.
Kara never came across as a strong woman. I don’t mean she wasn’t strong and independent. She had to be in order to be almost homeless, attending school, working full-time, and practically living off fumes. I mean it seemed like her spirit was fragile. From the very beginning she seemed to be a sad, lonely, struggling woman who need help. Or maybe when she and Simon connected was when the straw that broke the camel’s back occurred.
Simon and Kara’s major problem was a serious lack of communication. Whether because it was not done well, or not at all caused issues in the relationship.
The book has a VERY mild BDSM element, and has more of an element of romance. Simon likes to be in control. Kara likes him to be in control.
This audiobook includes Mine for Tonight, Mine for Now, Mine for Ever, and Mine Completely. Each section takes you through a different part of Simon and Kara’s relationship. Introduces Simon’s brother Sam and the mystery of his relationship with Kara’s friend, which will continue in another book. I would rate this at 3.5 stars.
I voluntarily listened to and reviewed this audiobook provided by the author.
Simon And Kara’s Steamy Story Is One Of Hope. Simon, Haunted By His Mysterious Past, Thinks He is Too Damaged For Love, But Kara Makes Him Dig Deep!
This is book one of The Billionaire’s Obsession series. It is Simon’s story. This book is comprised of four novellas. They include: Mine for Tonight, Mine for Now, Mine Forever, Mine Completely.
Simon Hudson, early thirties, has to do something with his obsessive thoughts about Kara. He hasn’t even met the beautiful waitress that works in his mother’s bistro. Yet it only took seeing her from afar at the restaurant for Simon to come unglued. He was drawn to her innocence and vulnerability, which weren’t typical of he women he usually kept company with. His world changed then, and a year later his life still centers around catching a glimpse of Kara from time to time. Although the computer geek is a loner, his life became even more monotonous after that night because he cannot imagine himself with anyone but her. But that must change now because Simon is distracted and his work is suffering. He needs to regain the sense of control that he needs to thrive. Simon is half of the Hudson Corporation. He designs games, while his older brother Sam, who happens to be charming and more socially inclined, is the face of the company. To regain his focus, Simon needs to take back control. Kara isn’t the type of woman for him to have the kind of casual encounter he needs, but he no longer has a choice. He must get her out of his system.
Kara Foster, twenty-eight, is about to graduate from nursing school and finally begin a better life. She lost her parents when she was eighteen and got stuck in a dead end job and relationship. But when the relationship ended five years ago, she took a hard look at her life and decided she needed to go to college. She works full-time at Helen’s Place while also taking a full-time load. She has worked herself nearly to death for three and a half years, but she just began her final semester and the end is in sight. It cannot come too soon, since she barely scrapes by from month to month and her roommate Lydia, who struggles herself, seems to eat whatever food Kara brings home.
As fate would have it, circumstances bring Simon and Kara together on a Friday night in January. Neither anticipates, however, that Kara’s visit might become an extended stay. Simon is rigid and arrogant. The orders he dishes out shock Kara, but his generosity takes her by surprise. He is a mystery to her, but she begins to suspect that something hurtful in his past has shaped him into the man he is today. Simon is frustrated by Kara’s stubborn independence, but he holds his ground. Yet having her so near only heightens his need for her.
Simon and Kara are thrown together by circumstances, and their steamy chemistry ignites. He is a billionaire and she a struggling older student. But he is missing something in his life, even if he hasn’t yet figured it out. He wants a real connection, and Kara is the only woman that triggers his feelings. Kara’s life is lacking as well. She has no remaining family, and her closest friend is probably her boss, Helen Hudson. She needs someone steady in her life – someone that helps her to take time out and enjoy life. And ideally she needs family in her life once again.
Simon and Kara’s steamy story opens with a sense of mystery around Simon’s past. This quick read is well-written. The plot is fairly simple. The story is written in third person. The POV alternates between Simon and Kara. I rate this book 4.5 stars.
This is a love story. It doesn’t try to be much more than that, and it works well. The conflicts are real (at least as much so when you’re dealing with a billionaire, right), just a little bit of unknown past trauma that we don’t understand until much later in the story, which is probably the biggest plot point outside of the romance. Sexy, steamy, and romantic, it’s an enjoyable ride following Simon and Kara as they fall in love.
This story is about the best obsession ever. Simon is dominant, bossy, obsessed, kind, caring, loving and absolutely skilled in giving Kara Pleasure. Simone had a good reason to be the way he is and although he struggled with his dominating ways at first, Kara came to accept it after understanding why. She also grew to love the benefits of his dominance. They are perfect for each other. I love the story and I enjoyed every minute of it
A fun sexy read if you are in the mood for a yummy billionaire read!
If you are a fifty shades fan, or love a good billionaire read, here you go. This series is one you will LOVE. It is standalones and all HEA.
I loved the characters in this. They had their issues and were certainly flawed, but they were perfect for each other. I really enjoyed how strong our heroine was. She was not only strong, but she had a voice that demanded to be heard while you read. Simon was, well he was Simon. He had his preferences and when his mystery woman walked into his life she threw his life into a storm.
I really enjoyed this. It was a quick sexy read and I enjoyed both of the main characters and the plot.
Great start to this series! Simon is a genius computer programmer who is in business with his brother but has been watching Kara for over a year and when she is leaving work and stumbling he takes charge and takes her home. Kara is a struggling college student and just getting by but she had been sick and just back to work and still not well. Simon was her guardian angel and when his assistant went to get her belongings found out she had been evicted. Now she was homeless as well. This was a perfectly paced and fun to watch these two find their way.

One night after a really long day she has a dizzy spell and would have face planted if Simon hadn’t catches her.
Simon takes her home and informs her her roommate had taken her rent money instead of paying bills and she was now evicted.
Her roommate had sold anything she thought was of value and one box full of her school books no clothes etc.
Simon and kara live happily for a week both ignoring the sexual tension until both go up in flames and afterwards Simon walks out without explanation. Looking forward to kara getting secrets out of Simon.

This book thankfully takes up straight after the last.

Great HEA and story. You do needs to read all in one go to get the best from this story.
Book 4
What a great ending to Simon and Kara story. Great HEA and the introduction of Sam and Maddie story which I’m really looking forward to.
This is a re-read for me. For me this was my original ott caveman possessive alpha. Damn, I forgot how much I loved Kira and Simon, they are definitely my favorite book of all the books in this serious. They started my love for all JS Scott books. These two have my heart, all the emotion and love in this book will always have me re-reading it again and again. Everything about their relationship I loved, all the emotion, all the love and all the trust, basically these two are all consuming.
He has been obsessed with her ever since she started working for his mom. Obsesses from afar. She ends up getting really sick, he helps her and takes her in. And…never wants her to leave. This is such a great storyline and their soulmate love comes through loud and clear in the book. Simon has a complicated/tragic past and I don’t know that anyone could really get him like Kira.
This was a safe read. A little ow shenanigan, but he handles it. These two are sexy, sensual and intense….like I said, all consuming soulmate love. Epilogue and hea.
#LoveMeSomeSimon #BookCrackCouple #RelationshipGoals #BookCrackSeries
An average book about a controlling billionaire who lusts after a nursing student. I found it unimaginative and quick. The characters are pretty flat but they serve their functions as basic figures in this tame dominance play story.
I give it three stars because the short erotic scenes are steamy enough, and the situations are absolutely boring but they get the characters together in the end, so if you’re looking for an unsurprising, quick read punctuated by short steamy scenes, then grab this if it’s free. It doesn’t fail at its basic promise, but it doesn’t exceed it at all.
Couldn’t put it down! Stayed up late every night reading!!
This is a review of the audiobook.

I loved this audiobook!
I read The Billionaire’s Obsession way back in 2013 and enjoyed it very much. I was just getting started reading for pleasure again after a way too long hiatus (20+ years) due to working. It was also one of my earliest erotic/slightly kinky stories. I’ve seen many people call it a Fifty Shades rip-off but I disagree. While there are similarities (billionaire, alpha male/young college student) the stories are quite different in my opinion.
I wasn’t writing reviews of books back in 2013 so I never reviewed Simon and Kara’s story. When I was offered a free code for the audiobook, I decided to give it a try. I really loved listening to this! Since I’ve gotten into audiobooks over the last few years, I’ve found that I have a prejudice against most female narrators but Elizabeth Powers did a fantastic job reading this story. Her voice is soothing and extremely pleasant to listen to. Her vocal inflections are nearly perfect. She doesn’t try to do a male voice for the male characters but she changes her voice enough that you know who is speaking.
As for the story, it is HOT, red HOT! Simon definitely has issues; he needs to have control at all times and he doesn’t like to be touched. We eventually find out why this is and then it wasn’t hard to understand why he is the way he is. Falling in love with Kara wasn’t part of his game plan but he just can’t help himself.
At times Kara might seem like she’s a pushover and submits to Simon in all ways but we soon find out that she is strong enough to handle Simon’s kinks and that her love can help save him.
I really enjoyed revisiting these characters and am happy to have found another female narrator whose voice I enjoy listening to.
A complimentary copy of this audiobook was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author.
Great read
