I am a big fan of

50 Shades of Grey

so when I was told that I could review a box set of books that was similar, I’m sorry, but this woman jumped at the chance (hey, we can all use a little fantasy in our lives, am I right? I may be a mom, but I’m still a woman!)

Book 1: A Seductive Deal

Julie Valentine’s soul searching turned out to be a bad case of the author blues. Having just broken up with her boyfriend, she goes to a casino in the hopes of relaxing and getting her mind straight, while rekindling her passion for books, but not even a nice glass of wine seems to work. Writing steamy romances requires more than just leisure time.

When she meets the billionaire Dominic Fury, a handsome blue-eyed kind ladies’ man, his charms win her over. Maybe spending a night with him will give her plenty of inspiration. It turns out Dominic has a seductive request for her, one she cannot refuse.

Book 2: A Hot Call

After a steamy night with hot billionaire Dominic Fury, author Julie Valentine wants more from him. The sexy experience has left a mark on her she cannot ignore. She can finally write some heavy romance again and agrees to a contract with Dominic.

What she doesn’t know, is that Dominic has some dark secrets of his own and he’s not eager to spill. Soon she discovers his dominant side might be more than just a playful show and she has to decide whether she wants to stay with him or not. Both of them have a past that controls their growing relationship, forcing them to choose. Is their will to be loved stronger than their will to survive?

Book 3: A Risky Raise

Julie Valentine has chosen to stay with hot billionaire Dominic Fury, despite the fact that he has unresolved issues from his past. She’s falling for him and can’t resist his charms any longer. Passion and love are plentiful in their relationship and it gives her inspiration for her books.

But their future together is shrouded by a past filled with dark secrets. Dominic’s choice to hide important facts put a strain on their relationship, but when Julie uncovers them she’s thrown into a dangerous plot; one that could lead to her death.

Book 4: A Final Game

Julie Valentine has barely escaped from the hands of death, and billionaire Dominic Fury confessed his dark secrets to her. She finally understands the magnitude of his problems and doesn’t know what to do. She takes some time off to be on her own, but she can’t get Dominic off her mind. Trying to make things work with him is harder than she could’ve imagined, but their connection is too strong to ignore.

But the past haunting Dominic isn’t going to let him go easily. This time, it’s his life that’s on the line. Determined to save Dominic, Julie sets out to destroy what’s hurting him, risking her own life in the process. Pain is around every corner, but she’ll fight until the very end. The game has only just begun…

My Thoughts:

This was very similar to

50 Shades of Grey

, but there were definitely some differences. Slight, but they were there.

It definitely is a rated “mature” book for adults with just as much kink and steam as

50 Shades

so be forewarned. If you don’t like the mature erotic reads, this book is definitely not for you.

The Billionaire’s Bet

consists of 4 books. All four are fairly short reads. I managed to read all four in two days. I would highly recommend that if you are going to read them, get the boxed set or at least have all 4 on hand. Some books were shorter than the other and they all go together as one story. I would have hated to not have the next one on hand.

I’m not sure the main man Dominic was as hate and steamy as Mr. Grey, but it didn’t really matter. I grew to care for him and his kink factor was definitely the same.

While the steamy parts were very

50 Shades

, the actual story was different and towards the end, really had me on the edge of my seat.

I enjoyed

The Billionaire’s Bet

and enjoyed the author’s writing. I will be checking out more by this author.

I rank

The Billionaire’s Bet

as “really liked” and if you are a

50 Shades of Grey

fan, I think you would enjoy

The Billionaire’s Bet

.
