Aww! So cute! I really liked this book! I needed a sweet, romantic story after some disappointing books!
I liked the three main characters a lot, especially Lily and Max. Luke was a very caring brother, although too protective and that made him do a few mistakes. But all went well in the end and he understood she wasn't a baby anymore.
I'd like a story about him finding his life mate. Must be interesting seeing Luke fall in love after being such a womanizer.

This was quite a bizarre book. If I didn't know better I would have thought that this was a historical novel as the behaviour of the characters reads like something from a bygone era.
The book takes place over a summer, when the heroine interns as the hero's PA.
She's a 20 year old, sheltered, naive woman and he's a billionaire tycoon 12 years her senior who decided when she was 16(!!!) that he was going to marry her.
Her older brother, the hero's best friend, 2nd in command and heroine's guardia...more

3.5 STARS!!!
The Billionaire’s Secret Desire was a very sweet and enjoyable read. I really loved the story and the characters. And yes I am in love with Max King!!! Who wouldn’t be? The man is freakin HOT AS HELL!!!! LOL ;p
The story is about Lily Shane, a 20 year old beautiful woman who is in love with her brother, Luke’s best friend Max King. Lily has a lot of insecurities about herself especially since she is always comparing herself to all the models Max dates. What she doesn’t know is that Ma...more
The awfulness was funny at first but eventually it just became annoying awfulness. The plot is the same one, stupid plot all new adult books have: vapid, beautiful heroine who is too obviously a stand in for the reader is relentlessly pursued by laughably ridiculous baby billionaire sex god. Blech. But this one is so much worse due to poor writing.
The problems are too numerous to recount in full so I'll just hit the highlights. In addition to trusting spell check to act as her beta reader and e...more

I found the entire concept unbelievably distasteful. We have a mega-rich man, twelve years older than the heroine, who basically grooms her from when she was 16 years old to be his future wife. Together with her brother they ensure she does not really date, threaten away or buy off any man that might be interested in her and keep her mostly secluded. The entire concept feels almost - and I say almost!! - like dirty old men grooming little innocent girls for illegal sexual relations. I don't want...more
This book had all the hallmarks of a way to piss me off when reading and, mercifully, the one biggest irritant wasn't there (I'm surprised, quite frankly, that it wasn't).
Why did I dislike this book so much? Here are several reasons. There are more, but I won't get back into my hate state. Believe me when I say this is kind. I toned down a lot of what I wrote.
1. Not a credible plot line - it's almost like it started as a historical and the "author" wanted to use modern technology and decided to...more

This is the sweetest romantic novel that i have ever read. The characters had a life in them that made it impossible for me to go out emotionally to them. I felt myself reaching out to the characters. I was elated in Lily and Max's elation and was shredded in their sorrow. The fact that Max was in love with Lily for so many years was really cute and touching. Along with it, Lily's naivety was a sweet contrast. The two together made a splendid blend of emotions that was really affecting. Never kn...more
It was going okay until I realised that basically the billionaire in question aka Max King was in cahoots with Luke to `shelter' his sister from reality AKA living until she was ready to be his wife. I went `WHAT?' Needless to say, I didn't like Max, Luke and what's worse, I didn't like Lily who didn't seem to have a backbone in her body. Such a pity. I forgot I was steering away from poor girl meets zillionaire storyline. This is an apt reminder.
i like this novel, story about a rich, handsome man falling in love with his best friend sister who just turn 20 years old and this girl also love him but both of them dont know each other true feeling, guess what, the Man character name is MAXIMILIAN KING (sexy and hot just hear from the name) this novel is really a novel all the girl dream about, is not to heavy novel. i am really recommend this one. continue to the next one.
This is the second book I've read by this writer and i really hope she doesn't make all the women in her books think they are not good enough for the main guy it got to the point where i wanted to scream at the book and say come on really you can't be that dumb but overall i liked the book I just hope the rest of them are not like the first two
Really well written. I was quite impressed by the novel as a whole. I loved the heroine but the heroines brother and hero fucked a lot of stuff up, that didn't need to be. If they had just let nature take it's course then things would of progressed naturally with little to no hurt what so ever.
I found this as a free ebook, and I really enjoyed it!! It reminded me a lot of Diana Palmer....there was an older man, the younger, naive heroine. The hero wasn't quite as harsh as Palmer's heroes can be, and I liked him for it. I hope to read more by this self-published author!
this was a nice read, I haven't formed any attachments to any of the characters but I didn't have a bad time reading it.
it was a fast and short read, I have some issues with the way the characters acted and that is why I only gave it 3 stars. I suppose I could give it 3.25* :)

There are a few spelling and grammar errors. I thought the book was interesting if you're into men who are overprotective and all that. Max and Luke---I so want to smack their heads as if they were like brats who should have been honest enough to those they care about.
Absolutely brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed this story it was romantic, funny and alluring. It captured you in such a way it felt like you were there.
If only to meet such a catch as Max, for daydreamers like myself this book was an absolute treat.
A must buy!
