Sarah Greene’s life is a mess. She’s the low-paid assistant to a tyrannical toy company executive; she can barely pay her rent; her social life sucks, and she’s worried sick about her cancer-stricken mother.

Her life changes when a drop-dead handsome stranger seduces her on a train. Completely out of character, Sarah surrenders herself to him. He turns out to be one of Manhattan’s hottest billionaires, Ari Golden.

There are secrets looming--dark ones that stand in the way of a real relationship. As Sarah falls deeper in love with her sexy Trainman, she wonders--can she free him from the demons that have damaged him?

3.5 stars


SEDUCED BY THE PARK AVENUE BILLIONAIRE box set is a compilation of three novellas: Strangers on a Train: Derailed: Final Destination are written in the contemporary erotica genre.

The premise follows Sarah Greene who, while on a train heading for home, loses her virginity (and her heart) to a stranger- billionaire Ari Golden-in one of the tiny bathroom stalls on a train. Okay, following me?

Now here is where we begin to question-everything.

1. Why is a billionaire riding on a train when he has limos and cars at his disposal?
2. Why did 25 year old Sarah (without so much as questioning her own sanity) allow a stranger to seduce her and take her virginity inside the stall of a moving train?
3. NO condoms-ever. A complete stranger screws her in a bathroom stall, without condoms, and with every encounter thereafter, still no condoms?

The reader is pulled into the story as Sarah slowly loses her heart and her soul to the stranger who proclaims that there will never be anything more than sex between them. Yet, at every opportunity, Ari Golden continues to seduce, entice and invite Sarah to important functions, gatherings and family celebrations. Is she his plus-one or is she something more?

There is a secondary storyline running parallel to the seduction and sex between Ari and Sarah. Sarah is a toy designer whose boss is the epitome of evil and the ultimate b*tch. When Sarah’s star begins to shine, her boss will ensure that the success is diverted and Sarah will become the target of jealousy and revenge.

The relationship between Ari and Sarah is highly sexual, graphic and at times heartbreaking. Ari refuses to acknowledge anything more than sex and companionship while Sarah begins to lose her heart to the stranger whose life begins to intertwine with her own. Ari will become the ultimate hero and warrior when Sarah falls victim to a jealous and psychotic ex.

Seduced by the Park Avenue Billionaire is a fast paced story where the world building is limited due to the length of each novella. Although we do not learn too much information about Ari Golden’s rise to billionaire status, there is plenty of background information about his personal and private life, as well as Sarah’s issues with her mother and boss from hell. For a three part novella series, there is a definite spark and an interesting story. If you are a fan of FSOG, Crossfire and the Stark trilogy, Seduced by the Park Avenue Billionaire should be another one to add to your TBR pile.

After reading a book review written for Seduced By The Park Avenue Billionaire, and participating in an online blog interview of the author Nelle L'Amour, I immediately added this romance to my TBR list. I was lucky enough to win a blog contest in which the prize was a free e-book copy of this very book (parts 1-3). It lives up to all that has been written about it and is one of the most erotic reads that I've come across in awhile. The story line is very good, reminding me in some ways of Fifty Shades. It has enough differences to set it apart though, earning its own kudos. I loved the hero who is a strong, take charge, dominant male who knows what he wants and doesn't hesitate to go after it. He is honest from the start, laying out his expectations and limitations. This said, he also has a nurturing, caring side which is heart-warming to behold. He is also fragile in his own ways and holds tight to his deep inner feelings, trying to protect himself from emotional pain and trauma. Even so, he still has enough courage to make the jump and risk all for love. The heroine is young, a little naive, self-sacrificing, and courageous herself giving whatever she needs to to the people she loves and cares for. She is also a woman who doesn't value herself enough and see her own beauty and potential. She hasn't had an easy life, but keeps plugging away, accepting whatever fate dishes out and finding a way to overcome. It is a Cinderella story, but with enough twists to keep it interesting. The only part of the story that I had any real problem with was the initial encounter between the hero and heroine. The heroine starts out the story as a 25-year-old virgin which, although rare in contemporary times, isn't impossible. However, without giving too much away, suffice it to say, the scenario of their first sexual encounter together is a little far-fetched. I don't believe any 25-year-old virgin would even consider losing her virginity the way she did to a complete stranger. Who knows? Maybe I'm the one who's naive? :-)
If you like erotic/contemporary romance, pick this one up! You won't be disappointed. Miss L'Amour has captured my attention, and she is definitely going on my list of authors to watch for. A solid 4-star rating and now one of my favorites.

Seriously smart! I loved how authentic the story was, the descriptions of New York were perfect. The story had unexpected twists and Ari is so dreamy!

[Astraycat · Rating 2 out of 5]

The is an Ok short read. It's too bad there are many possibilities if the story is longer. Most of all, I totally can't feel for the heroine. Certain decisions she makes and certain actions she takes are so irrational and ridiculous that I want to ask her, what the hell are you thinking?

First, she is a 25 year-old virgin, and then she gives her virginity to a stranger she just meets on the train? And they have sex in the toilet on the train! Seriously?

Second, she runs away from the hero, Ari, two times due to misunderstand without questioning him first, so why Ari keeps going back to her is beyond me.
The first time, she has dinner with Ari, but when she sees Ari hugs a redhead woman, she not only leaves the restaurant but throws her shoes! How childish! The truth is, the redhead is the Ari's SISTER!
The second time, she meets Ari in the park when she is jogging. When they are chatting, a little boy come to Ari, and Ari introduces him as his son, the heroine runs away, AGAIN! Seriously? Your best friend already googles him, says he is a bachelor, and you still thinks him is a married man

The most foolish decision the heroine makes is to break up with Ari because of her boss! Very irrational and ridiculous!No wonder Ari's sister thinks she is too childish to be Ari's girlfriend. Totally agree with her!

All in all, the story frame is ok, but the story will be better if Sarah Greene is a more rational and mature heroine.

A good, well-written short-ish trilogy that combines a great storyline with endearing characters and excellent hot steamy content. I devoured it in a few hours and am so glad I was able to read all 3 at once.

Ari is simply delectable. A wealthy businessman who oozes appeal on every level, he has a heart to match his surname...Golden. Sarah was also a great character; despite her Mum being ill and working for an absolutely hellish boss, she is a strong determined young woman who was easy to love. Their journey (on and off the train) made for a read that I couldn't put down and the story took a few surprising turns that I really didn't see coming!

Great!

I chose this rating because this was a really great series. The characters were, some good and some bad. I loved Ari, Sarah, and Ben. The way Ari and Sarah met on the train was magical and breath taking. Ari was very demanding man and when after what he wanted. That was Sarah. His ex wife tried to stand in there way with crazy a##. She was a real nut. She tried to stop things, but love prevailed. This was a great series. I recommend this book to all romance readers.

Outstanding!

[❤️ Diana ❤️ · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm giving this 3 1/2 stars. I enjoyed the story of Ari and Sarah, here is where it lacked for me. First I find it unrealistic a virgin would sleep with a stranger in the bathroom of a train. How did Ari not know this, i mean seriously. would have been more believable if she wasn't a virgin. Secondly, I so understood Ari's apprehension of getting involved considering his past and explaining to Sarah that they wouldn't spend the night together ever and he's not looking for a long term commitment. I get it, respect him for it but a day later he's taking her away for the weekend. I wish it was more developed so we could see Ari's feelings change. Thirdly, I felt the sex scenes didn't match their personalities or relationship.
Now, what I did like and there was a lot. I loved Ari and his passion. He's a bit of a romantic more so than an alpha male. Loved his relationship with his whole family. He just seems like a great guy . Sarah, I liked her too. She was a cool chick and her devotion to her mom was heart warming. I also loved the conflict that turned up with Ari's ex and I loved that she was a crazy bitch. Having said that I thought the premise of the story would have been better if it was developed more and were a novel instead of 3 short stories. The character development could have been deeper and the story could have more details. They were fun easy reads.

[Shantal (VERIFED BOOK LOVER) · Rating 2 out of 5]

the book was OK ! i didn't love it cause it was just so short. i didn't feel the intensity and attachment to any of the characters . in a novel such has this one i was expecting more . a whole lot more actually .

i was annoyed when the heroine Sarah was always calling Ari (hero) trainman even after she found out his name , i didn't understand what her attachment to the name was. the plot was weak , very anti-climatic and left too many holes.

this felt like a short novella instead of 3 books that barely had any angst and plot lines . it was all angst one minute and 30 seconds later it was all peachy. the heroine was weak Imo , she barely stood up for herself with the ex -wife. if she was a little braver i would totally love her but she isn't . she is just always moping and groaning. Ari also didn't seem like an alpha male, the author was trying to give that persona but i just honestly didn't feel it . i really wish the ex wife plot was portrayed more and better so that i could be really attached and loved when they got their HEA but sadly that did not happen.

i really hate leaving harsh reviews but this is my honest opinion .
3 stars

*i received this book has an ARC from the author to review*

[Izzy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a compilation of three shorter stories that came out last year by Nelle L'Amour. The story is about Sarah who meets a billionaire and has a bit of an affair ala fifty shades, but much better as far as the story goes.

I really enjoyed these books. It was a very quick read I finished it in an evening. I found it very easy to connect to Sarah and Ari. I felt for both of them as people not flat book characters. Another thing I can say is this book doesn't have too many annoying romance novel tropes. The biggest one that bothered me was the 25 year old virgin one and losing it to this random guy on a train. It felt like something not realistic that somebody who waited that long would do. We get thrown for a few twists in the book as well to move the story long.


There are a few minor typos/errors in this though. So if you are somebody who can't look past things then I would say this is a skip for you.

Overall 4/5 stars I gotta say it was a really fun read. The ending made it even better as well.

[Elly Helcl · Rating 5 out of 5]

I did receive a free copy of this book for my honest review....If the five stars look a little fishy, check out my other reviews...I am not easy to please (no pun intended).

Spoiler alert...

For being a virgin, the main character is a little too receptive to whatever this guy wants to do...

But oh my goodness! This book is HOT, HOT, HOT!

I thought I was getting into reading a romance book. This story quickly dispelled that notion in an altogether too fun way =)

Yeah, yeah...it is a little cliche that the guy is a billionaire and some of the story line is obvious.

BUT, this book is hot and naughty in ways that tickled my fancy.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants an erotic romance that has mild sub/dom, definitely a lot of sex, and a man who truely has a soft heart.

Sigh...even better...it has a sweet HEA =) <3 <3 <3

I plan on re-reading this book and enjoying it all over again!

2.5-3 stars
This was okay. It is the complete trilogy of 3 shorts: Strangers On a Train, Derailed, and Final Destination. There were some minor editing issues that seem to improve with each short. My biggest issue was the first Part. There was not enough description for me to understand the apparent attraction (such a strong attraction that after being a virgin for 25 years, she gives it up without protection...). If you're missing the chemistry, it's hard to get through the first part. By the second part, I assumed the chemistry and went from there and that made it a better read. I still don't understand (how Ari could investigate Sarah's alleged boyfriend, but not realize she worked for his ex). So overall ok, but unbelievable.

[Gloria Herrera for As You Wish Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a train ride you will never forget. Sarah definitely never did and it changed the course of her life.

Meeting Ari and discovering the attraction they both share is just the starting point of this seductively delicious story. This is not your everyday boy meets girl story. Your emotions will run the range of all emotions as you discover all the undercurrents affecting this couple.

Commitment to each other is impossible, family and others running interference to separate them, life in general with impossible challenges... all conspire to prevent Sarah and Ari from coming together. This story will keep you at the edge of your seats until all is resolved... no guarantees of a happily ever after are ever given in life... will this work for our two lovers?

[DiAnn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just finished the Seduced by the Park Avenue Billionaire by Nelle L'Amour - really enjoyed it! The relationship between the hero Ari and the heroine Sarah is fascinating to read though their first meeting was at the train station. Is there smoking hot chemistry between these two? YES, THERE IS! As the book series goes on, they face relationship challenges and even the possibility of physical harm from an evil person from Ari's past. Very smooth read that you won't want to put the trilogy down until you get to the last page of book three. Definitely want to read more from this author!

[iloveladyporn · Rating 4 out of 5]

When Sarah spots Ari at the train station she loses all rational thought- he's that handsome. As luck would have it, he comes to her rescue on the train and things heat up real fast. Ari has rules that Sarah must agree to or have no part in Ari's life- even know every time she sees's him she doesn't know if she will ever see him again. Ari's rules don't match his actions when it comes to Sarah. Things get out of control real fast for Sarah, and she is forced to push Ari away. When Sarah finally comes to her senses and is ready to stand up and fight. Things turn scary, and lives are in danger. Some hot, steamy sex scenes.

Fabulous ending.

[Mellisa Demille · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a great read. I was unable to put it down till the end. The characters were very well developed and fall more in love with them at every turn. The book was full of surprises that one does not expect. Its a captivating read and I recommend it to my friends. Great storyline that keeps you interested in this book. I wish there was more to read about this story. I am disappointed with how short the book it but apart from this I would still recommend it. Good this can come in small packages too.

[Mary Jo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nelle L'Amour grabs you in the first few pages and crafts a wonderful romance/fantasy for us all to escape in between Sarah and Ari. The connection between the 2 is electric but as with all good romances there are challenges. I had several surprises along the way but every one of these kept me intrigued and wanted to find out if Sarah and Ari would get their HEA. Definitely worth my investment to buy this e-book, looking forward to other stories by Nelle L'Amour.

[Yvette Roserie · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I began this book and realize it was set in new York, I was excited. Being a New York girl, I love to read about familiar surroundings. When I first began, I was like that would never happen, oh please.
But I have to say for this to be a short read it was put together and was pack full of sex, drama, and even had me close to a tear at the end. Nelle did a great job, giving you a full story in Three short books. Good job.

Looking forward to reading future work.

[Ruth Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this love story. Sure, it was sappy in a few spots but what love story doesn't get sappy. It's a Cinderella story complete with a wicked witch. A chance encounter turns into a beautiful love story.

I know some people will be turned off by Sarah's crying but I think she is just an emotional person. I can relate. I cry watching the evening news if their is a sad story. Book 3-Final Destination was my favorite part of the story. It was full of surprises.

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

This trilogy surprised me as I really did enjoy it. Whilst it was short it was definitely hot.
Book 1 - is all fantasy, a virgin gets done by a hot guy on a train and loves it!
Book 2 - jealous comes out as fantasy begins to turn into reality
Book 3 - this has the most drama in as the happy couple end up together, minus some bumps in the road.

Overall a good read and would recommend it for a short hot read that is not to be over thought.

[Tera · Rating 3 out of 5]

I thought it was a pretty good read. It was a little short so I didn't get attached to the characters, but it had a good plot overall. It was hot and steamy too! Some of it was a little over the top, but this is our imaginary world! I just sometimes like to fantasize but even my fantasies have limits!! There was definitely bones to the story, but it could have used a bit more meat! Still a fun read and I am grateful I had the opportunity to read it!

A COMPLETE GOOD ROMANTIC STORY

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was very well written and the characters were developed and interesting. This story has it all - love, romance, mystery and sex. I wasn't sure when I purchased this set but the author was so good and the story well written that I purchased "Rome - Home" and can't wait to start reading. Mrs. L'Amour you have been placed on my short list of favorite authors.

[Gwbroussard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful series!!! Ari is a wonderful and simply amazing man, father and lover. Sarah is great and strong - for being so young and new to the world she is very independent and bright.

I was hooked from the beginning. Lots of twists and turns. The humor is great and romance is hot and steamy!!!

So worth the read and I'd love another book for this series - they are very cute and I'd love to see more of Ben's character evolve, he's like a young Ari in the making (o:

Sarah see Ari in the train station. Handsome, smooth billionaire. She falls into his lap on the train. She is a poor graduate doing a menial job for bitchy Catherine who is her boss at Ike Toys. this is Ali and Sarah's steamy love story and reveals how Catherine has a stake in their lives. Romantic easy read loved it.

Once I started the book I couldn't stop reading it. This author always writes great story which is captivating and greatly amusing.

Loved

I absolutely loved this series it is so great but the only problem I have is with the epilogue is wanting more I wanted to know what happens after her speech. Other than that I loved this book Nelle L'Amour is one of my favorite authors she can write to make you feel like your in the book walking the path with the characters. A MUST READ

[Karen Raines · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a very sexy short trilogy. Ari is an extremely dominant character and his presence leaps off the page. Sarah has so much piled on her shoulders and you can't help but feel for her. The secondary characters played their parts well and the villain of the peice, well she was as vile as can be. I really enjoyed the story and liked having them all in a box set. A fast paced sexy read.
