Romance novelist Brandy Jackson is not a one-night-stand kind of girl, but with Maximillian Benton, she’s willing to make an exception. Big mistake. Turns out, the charming, handsome man with a sexy British accent is a jerk who’s only interested in laying claim to Landon Castle, the inheritance Brandy received when her beloved grandmother died. But apparently through a cheating attorney, the … castle was purchased at auction by Max. When a judge orders them to both live at the castle until the legal matter is resolved, Brandy reluctantly agrees. As big as the castle is, it turns out to be too small for her and Max, who find themselves spending more and more time together. And even though Brandy knows Max isn’t her happily-ever-after, when the heat becomes too much she still gives in to her passion. Bigger mistake. Now she’s pregnant.
Max’s motives for wanting the castle are simple: revenge. A billionaire software designer, Max was swindled by the man who owned the castle, and now it’s sweet payback owning the thing his nemesis loved most. So when his plans are sent awry by a pretty American, he has no choice but to dig in his heels and make sure the castle remains his. Max tries, rather desperately, to ignore his attraction to Brandy and the way his heart expands whenever they’re together. Despite his cynicism about love, he can’t help wondering if Brandy might be different from all the other women he’s met. But when he believes he’s been duped by her sweet smile and sexy body, Max all too readily decides ending what they have is for the best. Happily ever after just isn’t for him. But he can’t shake the feeling he may have lost the best thing in his life…

I thought that this was a really fun read and a great way to kick off this new series. There are lots of sparks and simmering chemistry as clever banter flies between the characters. Brandy and Max were both likable and I enjoyed seeing them fight each other, their attraction and the deepening feelings they were experiencing. The story was quite entertaining and offers a engaging blend of emotions, drama, tension and heat.
Awesome story. Love it. Characters were likeable and relatable. Lots of chemistry and plenty of steamy scenes. Enjoyed the back and forth banter between the characters. Great lol moments. Fast paced five star read.

Who doesn’t love a sexy man with a British accent that can make your mouth water by just looking at him? Brandy didn’t stand a chance against Max even if it started as a hate relationship. The chemistry is palpable so them giving in to each other but inevitable. I only wish there wasn’t always a pregnancy involved and they could solve their issues without having that extra layer. The story was great though and can’t wait to read the next one.

A cute and quick read. Max was a butthead. Brandy put up with way more than i could have. But in the end, he was able to figure out how to get his foot out of his mouth long enough to say something smart. The ending was cute and has me ready for the next book in the European Tycoon series.
Happy reading!

Max was sitting at the bar and he noticed a women sitting down he turned around trying not to notice her. He asks her if she was an American and she told him yes. She thought he was maybe a movie star or someone they would use for the romance books that she wrote. Max and Brandy spend the night together. Brandy goes to the lawyers office the next day with her deed to the castle. The attorney was taken back since Max was suppose to take over. When Max comes in to the room he couldn’t believe it was his last night fling and now he knew her name. Max was going after the castle to get revenge. Since both of them had a deed the judge told them they would have to live in the castle until the thing was settled. They each took their own wing and made no bones about how they felt about each other and the castle. Brandy decided she was going to look around and wanders into the ballroom. She found a phonograph and started to play some music and danced around until she felt a hand on her. Brandy looks around while Max was out she found the library and a photo book. Brandy found a picture of herself when she was young. Brandy took him down the secret passage way and they found a solarium with flowers growing. Then wind up hooking in front of the beautiful fireplace. They have been trying to stay out of each other’s way for the last four weeks both denying each other. Brandy finds out that she was pregnant and it was Max’s baby how was she going to be a single mother.She tells Max that she is pregnant and he tries to make things a business proposition. Finally she decided to move out of the castle she couldn’t take it any longer. Max realizes that he made a huge mistake and when he went to make amends she was gone from the castle. Max had no idea where she had gone.
Another great read by Leslie North who once again brings strong characters and an entertaining story line. She pulls you in with her descriptive writing and detailed scenes as well as the steamy romance.It’s well developed , moves at a steady pace and I enjoyed reading Brandy and Max’s story.

Book One Has Just The Right Amount of Energy for this New Series.
This is a ridiculously fun first book in the European Tycoon Series by author Leslie North. For anyone not familiar with North, she is a gifted and skilled at writing modern romances.
This new series begin in the UK, with the British Tech Billionaire, Max coming up against the successful American Author, Brandy, who has come over to lay claim to Landon Castle that was left to her by her grandmother. Unfortunately, Max just bought said castle and now a judge must decipher who is the legal heir. In the meantime they are to reside in the castle until resolved. As you can imagine that’s when the fun, love, and all sorts of misunderstandings take place.
Bottom Line: Ms North is giving us another promising series and book one was a treat to dig my toes in and wriggle around. I love the major and minor characters no matter how much/little time spend on a page as It never felt superfluous. In fact sometimes a person can stroll onto a page, say a couple of sentences, never speak again, and yet it’s just the catapult needed.
Without question I’m recommending this book for your reading enjoyment and pleasure. Also, I’m so very much looking to book two as I have a suspicion on who it will be about. Peace.

A good start to an enjoyable series. I loved the characters interaction and chemistry. What started out as a one night event became more when things get complicated. I enjoyed the storyline and heat level with just the right amount of drama. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Appearances can be deceiving as Brandy soon found out with Max. When she first encountered him Brandy thought him intriguing that is until she found out he was trying to buy her castle right out from under her. The court came up with the decision that they would share loving in the castle until the purchase could be ironed out and there was the beginning of their joining. The more time they spent together the closer they became but Max is not s trusting individual and when some one was sneaking information on what he is working on to the enemy, he accused Brandy as being the culprit without proof. Will it end his chances of a happily ever after with her? This story will draw you in right from the beginning and hold you until the last page with all the drama.

This is the first book in the European Tycoon series, it’s a fast-paced well-written standalone story.

But nothing goes smoothly after a steamy night with a sexy man leaves her alone the next morning, her castle “belongs” to someone(sexy man) else and all sorts of drama ensues. The chemistry between Max and Brandy is sizzling and when major misunderstandings come between them, can they put them aside to raise a family.
Highly entertaining story.

A fast paced romance with engaging characters and an unique storyline. I’m guessing I know who will be the tycoons of the next two books and I am super excited for them. This was a wonderful start to this series!

This is a very exciting read. The characters are well thought out with just enough spunk to keep it interesting. They meet and have a one night stand to only realize when they individually go to a meeting with an attorney the next day that they are the two people vying for the ownership of the castle. She needs it because she has no one or no where else to go. He needs to purchase it in order to settle a revenge he can’t get over. The attraction to each other keeps drawing them to each other. Another Leslie North great read!

An excellent start
Brandy, an American author, goes to England and encounters Max, a Tech Security billionaire, at the hotel bar. As the story progresses sparks fly, a fire ignites, and dousing the flames may be easier than they think. Leslie North’s The Tycoon’s Pregnant Lover is an excellent start to her new series of connected billionaire romance reads. I can’t wait to see what she has planned for Gavin and Tony.

The Tycoon’s Pregnant Lover, Leslie North
Brandy Jackson, a romance novelist, let herself be picked up at a nice hotel bar by Max Benton, a software designer. They spent a wild night together, just ships passing in the night.
The sparks start flying when they find out why they are both in York at the same time. Brandy inherited Landon Castle from her grandmother. Unfortunately, Mac had bought the same castle at auction. When they go to court, the judge orders them both to stay at the castle for 90 days, while he deliberates as to who the owner will be.
What’s a feuding couple going to do when they are in the same house and have an itch they both want to scratch again? Stubbornness and jealousy have to rear their ugly heads. Misunderstandings abound between the two combatant lovers.
Read to find out what happens when Brandy finds out she is pregnant and Max has cut ties between them.
ARC Review
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Brandy moved to England after inheriting a castle from her late Grandmother. Max was under the impression that he purchased the castle. When they initially met in the hotel bar and shared a passionate night. Neither knew that the other claimed the castle so when a Judge ordered them to reside together for 90 days there was little either could do.
This is one of the most confusing stories that I have read. There are huge gaps in the story line which cause the story to be muddled.

Two very good characters who each have secrets but who are perfect together but it just takes some time to get there. A very good interesting storyline to keep you page turning. Another good start to another wonderful series.Leslie knows how to keep the reader interested with good conversation and intrigue in all her stories and this is no exception. Recommended and look forward to reading the others in this series.
