Synopsis from Goodreads
The Billionaire Boys Club is a secret society of six men who have vowed success--at any cost. Not all of them are old money, but all of them are incredibly wealthy. They're just not always as successful when it comes to love...
 
Audrey Petty's always been the responsible one. The good twin.  Successful, dependable, and trustworthy--that's Audrey. She'd be the perfect girlfriend for her childhood crush, billionaire Cade Archer...except that she's pretty sure she's not even on his radar. But when fate (and her chaotic twin) come together, Audrey finds out that she'll be spending the next month with Cade at his remote cabin retreat. It's a dream come true...
 
Until she meets her worst nightmare.
 
Billionaire playboy Reese Durham is used to seducing women to get what he wants. But when stiff, too-proper Audrey bursts into the private mountain lodge and scares his companion out the door, it's time for a little revenge. It's clear that Audrey's in love with his buddy, Cade...and it's clear to Reese that blackmailing Audrey with this information can get her to agree to just about anything. Like furtive kisses in the dark, or a secret rendezvous in the woods. Audrey may think she knows what she wants, but Reese is determined to show her what she needs.
 
And as Reese discovers the volatile minx behind the buttoned-up exterior, he starts to think maybe she's just what he needs, too.
Release date: October 15th 2013.

Alright, peeps. I've read the previous two books in this series on a whim and really enjoyed both. They are light, sexy, and the men and women in both are quite feisty and entertaining.

It might be just me,  but I couldn't connect with Reese and Audrey. I didn't feel like there was enough emotional struggle and conflict, and I also didn't like how quickly Audrey's resentment of Reese turned into a full on love.



During the last two novels she presented herself like such a strong, independent, even steely lady, and I wanted Reese to try really hard to get her. I wanted him to change, to become worthy of her.

Instead there was a lot of complacency on both ends, and it felt washed out. The last thing that was bothering me? Audrey didn't look like she understood the dangers of drug withdrawal without medical assistance. She was just shrugging off her twin - Daphne's struggles, and I don't know what would have happened to Daphne if not for Cade.

It's been an okay read, but second book is still my favorite.

Проглотила я первые две книги серии под настроение с месяц назад. Было смешно, сексапильно, весело и развлекательно. Так что, когда я увидела что третью книгу издатель выложил на рецензию, я с удовольствием взялась и за неё.

К сожалению, история Риза и Одри меня совершенно не впечатлила, особенно после прекрасной второй книги.

Одна из проблем этой пары - это их зарисовка как чистых клише: он - плэйбой, она безумно организованная строгая рыжая очкастая секретарша с пышными формами и поведением училки. И конечно, под её фасадом скрывается импульсивная, взрывная чувственная женщина... Вы уже зеваете? Я - да. 

Ну и естественно они друг друга терпеть не могут, пока не остаются в одном курортном домике на протяжении пары недель, во время которых их поведение конечно менятся после шикарного секса и пары искренних разговоров. И Одри и Риз внезапно решают, что страшно влюблены друг в друга.

В общем, скучно и очень не оригинально. Читайте на свой страх и риск.
