This billionaire's got it bad, and that's not good... The first O'Banyon Brothers novel from New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward writing as Jessica Bird.

Take-no-prisoners deal-maker Sean O'Banyon (aka SOB) eats Wall Street financiers for lunch. So why is he losing sleep over a sweet-faced nurse in old jeans and a too-big T-shirt? Maybe it's those warm green eyes. Or the way she blushes when he gets personal. Maybe it's the way she challenges everything he's believed about himself for so long.

There's no denying they have serious chemistry. But sooner or later Lizzie will learn his deep, dark secrets. First, he has trust issues. Second, the whole family thing is not for him. And, last, he doesn't do relationshipsâ??even if there's something about Lizzie that makes him want everything he can't have...

Nurse Lizzie Bond contacts Sean O’Banyon to let him know his father (Eddie O’Banyon) passed away. Sean has been estranged from his dad for years because of the abusive behavior Eddie had towards Sean and his two brothers when he was drunk. Lizzie became close to the old man and has no idea about the past. (She was renting the lower floor of the home Eddie was living in and spent a lot of time with the old man.) Sean goes home and meets Lizzie and sparks fly.

I really loved the heroine, Lizzie. She was so sweet, warm, and compassionate. The hero I liked less. He was a total jerk sometimes to Lizzie. I was tired of him mistrusting her, which lowered my enjoyment of the story. I liked the other books I’ve read by this author, so this one was quite a disappointment. ( )

Didn't like this as well on the reread but I'm not going to change my rating. Still a good read.

Original review:
This isn't a story we haven't heard before. Successful man who had a drunk abusive father now has trust issues in relationships. Healed by the love of a good woman. It's the quality of the writing that makes this book shine. Jessica Bird/JR Ward's writing is nearly always gripping. It's smooth and descriptive and the dialog is real and believable. Hero and heroine well developed and believable. Wish that she had actually followed through with the books about his brothers. I particularly wanted to read about Billy who had such a low opinion of himself. Well maybe someday. ( )

I almost gave it 4 stars because I felt Lizzie was almost to perfect in my eyes but just couldn't because I did love the story so much. It touched on a few difficult individual situations in the small cast of people. I absolutely love an H that is a little damaged inside.

Now, I just need the author to start Billy or Mac's story! ( )

The Billionaire

The Characters:

Sean O’Banyon
Lizzie Bond

The Story:

Hmmmmm. Sean is a complicated character. Victim of domestic abuse, used to being used by women. Lizzie is basically his angel. She only wants him and he loves her for that. They go through their ups and downs, their miscommunications but in the end they find themselves and each other.

The Random Thoughts:



3 Stars ( )

An interesting story that did a good job in the way it addressed some serious issues. I also liked how it realistically dealt with trust in a relationship and how it is influenced by ones past. Business tycoon Sean returns to his childhood home and meets nurse Lizzie.
