Billionaire Unexpected~Jax by J.S. Scott

ABOUT THE BOOK

I never expected the man I saw as nothing but a billionaire player to be the only person who could rescue me from near insanity.

 

One moment, everything was perfect. 

I was finally Dr. Harlow Lewis, research geoscientist, and I was actually employed at Montgomery Mining Laboratories, the crème de la crème of labs for my specialty.  I also had good friends, a supportive parent, and a budding relationship with a great guy.  Add all of those things together and it was impossible for my existence to be anything less than ideal.  

 

I had exactly the life I'd always wanted, until it...wasn't.  

 

I guess I never realized that brief periods of perfection could instantly be followed by a nine day, horrific hostage situation that would forever change the woman I'd been before that incident.

 

Oddly, after my release, the only person who knew that I was struggling to get my life back was Jaxton Montgomery, my billionaire boss, and the king of one-nighters . Not exactly the perfect confidante, right?  The two of us barely spoke unless it was company business, especially after I'd turned down a date with him two years earlier.  What rational female would want to have dinner with a man who was known for his one-and-done dating behavior?

 

Maybe Jax wasn't the guy I would have chosen to be the person who would drag me out of the darkness and back into life again, but he was the only one stubborn enough to do it.  He systematically broke down all of defenses until I reached out and clung to him like he was the only lifeline I had.  

 

It wasn't until I got to know him that I realized that Jax was so much more than the playboy he was portrayed to be in the gossip columns.  

 

He was patient, he didn't judge, and he had a wicked sense of humor.  Even stranger, he understood what I was going through, even when I didn't understand it myself.  

 

Unfortunately, he was also the hottest guy I'd ever met, and as our bizarre friends-but-not-really-friends relationship continued, it was getting harder and harder to fight the intense chemistry between the two of us.  

 

What happens when a guy you thoroughly disliked just a few months ago suddenly becomes your everything?  

 

Jax had helped me claw my way back into my life again, but was I brave enough to risk everything all over again to keep the one man I'd always wanted but could never have?

This is book 2 of the series of three books about Riley's (Enamored (The Accidental Billionaires Book 3)) brothers who we met in the previous series. While it can standalone probably, you really should read the first book featuring Hudson (Billionaire Undercover: The Billionaire's Obsession ~ Hudson) to really get a handle on what previously occurred and the characters, as the story continues into Jax just a different set of main characters and their point of view.

This is Harlow's story. She is a Geologist who was sent by her employer's Montgomery Mining to Limia which was supposed to be safe. But instead she was kidnapped along with her intern Taylor, and her boyfriend. She was ransomed and when they received their money they let her go but kept Taylor, as soon as she was safe she had Jax and Hudson Montgomery, her bosses go in and get Taylor and bring her home. Billionaire Undercover: The Billionaire's Obsession ~ Hudson is Taylor and Hudson's story.

In this story we get inside Harlow's head and its a very sad and depressed head. She blames herself because her boyfriend was killed and she feels to blame with what happened to Taylor. She is doing very badly until Jax gets assigned as her advisor. 

Two years before Jax asked her out and she turned him down because she thought he was a player. Now he comes knocking on her door, and he becomes her lifeline, her best friend and her confidante.

It was an awesome story and I loved watching her heal and find her strength and power. Jax was this awesome guy that has always crushed on her and they have this awesome connection. On one hand it dealt with some really serious subjects as Harlow is in a world of pain at the start of the book, but its an awesome story about love, friendship and family and most of all love. Its probably one of my top favorite stories in this bIllionaire series by the author.
