He’s a billionaire whose wealth and power were determined from birth. She’s a free spirit whose life can fit in a rucksack. Are they destined to become adversaries, or can these opposites attract? Bradley Richter has taken his pre-ordained place in the family’s business without complaint but being part of the Richter dynasty hasn’t made him happy. Something’s missing. There’s more to life than … missing. There’s more to life than possessions and power. And more to his identity than a briefcase and three-piece suit.
Iris di Leo has never stayed in one place long enough to set down roots or get too close to anyone. Life taught her to protect herself. But when a big corporation wants to develop the parcel of wilderness she loves, she must break her own rules to fight for what she believes in.
When Iris and Bradley clash over the proposed development of her town’s untouched woodland, their instantaneous mutual attraction undermines everything they believe about each other—and themselves.
Can they look beyond their differences to find love or are their worlds too far apart for them ever to bridge the gap?

I loved this book, it is charming, heart warming and stirred my emotions. I enjoyed that it was about romance, people getting to know each other and falling in love. The characters are marvellous and you grow attached to them. The author expertly pulls in their backgrounds to give the reader a stronger sense of their motivations. The dialogue flows well and adds a great deal to the storyline. This is a well written book and I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a fee-good story, a romance or even just a light hearted read.

The Buttoned-Up Billionaire was a fast-paced, easy to read, sweet romance. Even though it is part of a series, it stands perfectly fine on its own. I enjoyed the unconventional heroine and banter between the main characters. I tend to avoid billionaire type stories but I enjoyed this one as the hero was very down to earth and was looking for more than a superficial relationship.
Overall, this was a great addition to the series and I look forward to the next.
This book was beautiful in a unique way. It had characters that were very different from the typical cast of a romantic narrative.
Most heroines fit the mold of the cute, quirky, middle-class girl whose only problems are that she is a bit klutzy and would rather read than play sports. Iris is a less than perfect heroine. She is a plus-size girl with frizzy hair that lives the life of a broken drifter.
The male lead in most of these narratives are muscular, athletic, dashing, and can build a ideal home with his strong, broad, calloused hands.
Bradley is the outcast nerd who doesn’t even know what clothing to wear for a hike.
Yet, somehow these characters are identifiable and endearing.
This is a read filled with warmth and strength.

Bradley Richter is a buttoned up suit and tie wearing lawyer who unhappily works for his father’s company. Iris di Leo is a drifter who fights for what she thinks is right including against Richter Enterprises that is buying her deceased employer’s nature preserve estate from her greedy nephew. He is thin with glasses and a bit of nerd. She is curvy and casually dressed with a free spirit. They are opposites in almost every way, but they can’t fight their attraction. I loved Iris and Bradley’s compassion for her friend Finn, who is having trouble coping with the loss of his wife. They were great with his dog when she had puppies, falling in love with and saving the runt of the litter.
This was such a sweet romance. The characters are well developed and engaging with a storyline that flowed smoothly and easily.

This was a really sweet read and I was hooked right from the start. If you like a good billionaire romance then this is definitely worth a read. Bradley and Iris were super characters both had their baggage but they were just so great together. I really enjoyed this book.
A quick read, but filled with relationship drama.
I love the friends that Ms Logan puts in her stories. They are true friends––loving unconditionally and hoping for nothing but the best for each other.
But, oh the main characters in this one! Both carrying hurts from their youth . . .
A Surprisingly Good Romance
This is a sweet and clean romance with a great deal of heart. The story had my full attention within the first few pages. This is not the same-old billionaire romance trope. This is a very good story that has little to do with opulent wealth. It has a lot more to do with finding oneself, forgiving oneself and living life as you want to live it. I was very pleased with the story. I received this ARC book for free from Booksprouts and this is my honest review.
I originally cancelled this Arc because it was the second book but I gave it a chance and I was pleasantly surprised. I especially enjoyed Iris because she is not the typical heroine because she is like me a plus sized girl like me and Bradley is so well laid back billionaire that I couldn’t help but fall in love with too.

More alike than they thought
I like how Iris and Bradley are not as different as they seem on the surface. She has that whole free spirit thing going on, but really, down deep she is trying to protect herself.
The dialogue is fun and I like how Iris works at winning him over to sway him to her side on the development project, and well, things go the way we like them to go in romance novels. It’s why we read them, right?
