Cover & Title - 4 out of 5.
Favorite Character - Joshua
I am not a fan of second chance romances but i managed to really get into this book. I think the main reason for this was the chemistry between the leads. I have read many books with a similar plot (but not the exact same story-line) and i would say this is top 5 of out of the maybe 50 similar books which i have read. I liked both of the leads & i liked how everything sparked between them. I thought the sex scenes were HOT,...more

3.5*
I really liked this novel, even though it had one of the common and most annoying "romance conflicts/mix-ups." Jasmine and Derek were childhood sweethearts and at 18 planned to run away together, which is when her father secretly interfered (because the boy was poor and not good enough for his rich daughter). Due to her father's meddling, when the time came to run away, both lovers thought it was the other one standing him/her up! Ten years go by and they meet again - now he is rich and she...more

The book held such promise but ended up being painful to read. The h was noting but a doormat. Everything was cookie cutter, unrealistic, and childish. The H was a vindictive sob.
I read the previous two books in the series, The Tycoon's Revenge (Baby for the Billionaire - Book One) and The Tycoon's Vacation (Baby for the Billionaire - Book Two) and both were very similar. The first one was OK, the second was just OK . As for this one, it is the last in the series of the Titan cousins (I think) and definitely not the best.
It was a mistake to read the three one after the other. You get sick of too good to be true males' characters and of women who are supposedly strong but...more

Jasmine’s wealthy father doesn’t think Derek, a boy from the wrong side of the tracks is good enough for his daughter so he manipulates the teenage couples separation without either being aware of why they didn't keep their runaway promise to each other. Roll forward ten years and there’s a complete reversal. Derek is now the one who is mega rich and he’s out for revenge on the one woman who shattered his heart. How to do it? Well for a start, buy her father’s floundering company out from under...more

Derek and Jasmine
DEREK CAN GET REVENGE ON ME ANYTIME!!!
After reading Melody Anne’s Billionaire Bachelor series, I just had to read this one… although it doesn’t have as many books in the series, it still a gem… and of course she gives you the first one free and the rest are only $2.99…
I think this book averaged about 200 pages and kept me hooked for a day… her stories are short, sweet, and to the point… and everything in between is just smok...more

Derek Titan and Jasmine Freeman were in love as teenagers and planned to run away together. Her father; who was the richest man in town, put an end to all that when he told Derek (as he handed him an envelope full of money) that Jasmine didn't want to tell him herself, but she was done with him. Derek started planning his revenge right then.

I enjoy reading this author's books. They are fun and light reads. This one is the first in the series but none of her books have to be read in order. That is one of the things I enjoy about her writing is that she may write the books as a series but never confines you to reading the whole series or in order.
So in this story we follow Derek as he extracts his revenge on the woman who broke his heart 10 years ago. He hasn't gotten over it because he has always felt that she left him because he wa...more

The hero and heroine knew each other when they were teenagers. They were planning to run away together when without both of them knowing it, the heroines father put a stop to it.

Another mistaken communication plot line. I would have liked to have more supporting roles flesh out this romance story, where are the neighbors that helped Jasmine raise her son as a single mother, her friends (I'm not counting the backstabbing mothers on the wrestling team) and Derek's father and cousins? We only see fleeting glimpses of these people, half a page at best. I also can't believe that this couple didn't see each other for ten years... really?!... no one googled each other? I googl...more
God , it was a torture finishing this .
“If you’re my dad, then what did you say to my mom every night before you had to leave?”
A question asked by 9 year-old boy to a man he just found in his mother bed . And you know what was the answer ?
“Sweet dreams my princess, I will rescue you from the tower in the morning light,”
Really .
REALLY .
I'm not making this up .
Even though i finished the book but at that point i just give up , there were so many damn things that were just frustrating .

It's not a classic or a book you keep forever or one that you pass around to all your friends, but this was a reaal good book that I read from beginning to end in one sitting. I was captured.
This was a fast paced great contemporary romane that deserves a 5 star rating in it's contemporary category. The writing was good. There was follow through. The story was good. the feelings of the characters were gripping & there was a sweet HEA even though it was unexpected how that would play out.

This book was free on amazon the other day so I decided I would check it out. It looked pretty interesting from the blurb so I was excited to start reading it. And it is a short story, and I was in the mood for something short. Overall the book was okay, it wasn't that great, but it wasn't bad either.
It start's with Jasmine's dad's company being taken over by the one man who broke her heart ten years ago. And he thinks he is getting his revenge on her for leaving him, but she is keeping a secre...more

I've read books by Melody Anne before & like them. This book has all the elements to equal a good story line...but it seems people & events were added...hinting & more & that train of thought was just forgotten.

I loved the book. It wasn't perfect, but I liked Jasmine and Derek. It may be a little cliched, boy from the wrong side of the tracks falls for the rich girl, then loses her. However, it was still written well. Classic misunderstanding. Father tries to pay him off, and lies that she changed her mind about them. She thinks he walked away after having his way with her. She is pregnant and does not tell him so he misses 9 years of his son's life. He seeks revenge on her and her father by taking ove...more
First half of book you have a big misunderstanding from the past that is causing animosity b/n the eventual romantic pairing. This led to lots of anger and mistreatment by the guy to the girl but then their "traitorous bodies" would have them fall into the sack. Some people love that sort of thing but it isn't for me. Second half of book you have guy discover the secret love child from between in the past and the dealings with that and the characters realizing they are still in love. These two n...more

I got this as a free read. I usually like paramornal romance vampires, werewolves, sirens, dragons etc. I read some comperary but not much. This I liked.
I love it when a alpha male thinks his version of the truth is the only version. It is always nice when the truth comes out and he has to play nice. I loved this. It kept me wanting to read it. I loved the that both characters were rightous in their anger, that they both tried to dislike eachother and couldn't help it when their emotions got the...more

The plot reminds me of a Harlequin Presents novel, with an ultra-alpha hero seeking revenge on the girl he believed wronged him the past. Throw in the facts that he's now her boss and a secret baby and you have the makings of a wild story. I would have enjoyed it more if not for the glaring grammatical errors. It takes a lot to pull me out of a story and one or two minor typographical errors could easily be ignored. A character's name was changed not once, but twice in story and it took me a min...more
Its a toss up between stupid and cute. The characters and story didnt really have a lot of depth, and seemed quite superficial, so there were many parts that i thought were stupid. The authors mix up with Trevor...?? That being said, I was surprised at the few pages of the book that really grabbed me, also there were a few times that I had a hard time putting it down. It was a quick read though, which was nice. And I purchased it free, so even better. I would read the next book in series..if I c...more

Bad or no communication, secret baby, stereotypical poor kid grows up to run this town type of hero, stereotypical rich girl with a heart of gold doormat. Then there's the stereotypical 'woman should stay home, barefoot and pregnant to raise babies' mentality, and the heroine, whose suppose be to be this fiercely independent woman, caves to everything the big powerful man says. Add to it bad editing and terrible, downright stupid formatting for an e-book and all I can say is thank goodness it wa...more
I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to like this book at first. The writing seemed to be a bit choppy and unrefined. Within the first few chapters, I got into it and enjoyed it. The story is predictable and cliche, but I don't expect novelty in the romance genre. The writing either improved or the story pulled me in enough that it didn't matter anymore. I also liked that the author didn't feel the need to toss in unneccesary angst or drag the story out further than it needed to be. It's a v...more

Enjoyed reading this story of Derek & Jasmine. These two adults had fallen in love when they were younger & had made plans which were ruined by Jasmine's father. Derek & Jasmine were played back then, & now, 10 yrs later they meet again & both fight the attraction & hurt from their not knowing what truly happened years ago. This is a great story of two long lost loves with a HEA ending. Loved the family relationships Derek has with his cousins & I'm heading off to do...more
