THE REBOUND - Morally Grey Billionaires - by L. Steele (Declan and Solene)


 
ABOUT THE BOOK

He was supposed to be my forever love
Until he becomes my personal hell...

Declan Beauchamp: he’s the super-hot, super-bad boy actor.
I’m the new voice, who has an overnight break-out single.
Together we are unbeatable.
A match-made-in-tabloid heaven.
Until he betrays me...

Twelve months later I’ve put him behind and moved on.
I even have a new boyfriend.
Except my career is in freefall...
Only consolation?
Declan isn’t faring better either.

With my future and his at stake.
Declan comes up with a plan.
One movie together,
And a fake relationship to catapult our futures back on track.

That’s six months of Declan glaring at me with possessiveness.
Twenty six weeks when he insists I’m his.
A hundred and eight two days in which our chemistry crackles on screen.
And when it denotes in real life
I know I can’t survive this encounter.
I tell him the deal is off,
Except it’s too late...

A standalone, enemies-to-lovers fake relationship billionaire romance about mistakes, heartache, and second chances.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

 This is Declan and Solene's story, and it begins when they first meet when she is 14 years old and continues on sharing the behind-the-scenes action up to and through Cade and Abby's wedding. 

I am new reader to this series. I am not a fan of mafia stories and so I have only read the authors recent books. Declan and Solene are mentioned through those books, so I was pretty excited to finally be able to read their story.

There were many surprises along the way. This is definitely a age gap romance as it starts when Solene is 14 and Declan is 22. She is also the daughter of a mafia guy, and her sister marries in the mafia, so the early part of the book has mafia scenes and there is some violence there. In addition, Declan is into sex clubs and BDSM so there are scenes that involve that too. 

There is also a revenge plot in that at times Declan is angry with Solene because of what happened when she was 14 and they met. But bigger than that issue is that Declan feels he is too old and depraved for Solene and that she is too good for him. In many ways he self-sabotages himself and at times I hurt for him and Solene.

This book features a romance with two people who are heavily involved with the public and media as she is a songstress, and he is a high-profile movie star. In addition, the story is an age gap and while it's just 8 years, at 14 and 18 it's a huge gap. Also, Declan introduces her to sex and kissing and so in ways he is tutoring her to his likes and dislikes. The two start off as enemies and then then as a fling and then in a fake relationship trope. 

There are many twists and turns along the way and lots of drama, angst, and lots and lots of sex scenes. So, if you are sensitive to those scenes, while they are very HOT and passionate, there are lots of them throughout this story.
