Billionaire Brides of Granite Falls #4
The Tycoon's Temporary Bride
A love-shy billionaire. A damsel-in-distress. Can this temporary marriage work, or will it complicate matters of the heart?
On the run from a human trafficker, Tashi Holland arrives in Granite Falls looking for the one man she was told could protect her. But without knowing his name or his identity, Tashi feels lost, scared, and vulnerable. She has no idea whom to trust, so when she bumps into a man in a café, who pays a little too much attention to her, she panics and runs.
Since he was left standing at the altar, Adam Andreas has been quite content with temporary relationships. That all changes the day he literally bumps into Tashi Holland. With one look into her frightened, emerald eyes, Adam finds himself falling into his old habit of trying to rescue damsels-in-distress—something he has sworn never to do again.
However, one late-night call from Tashi sends Adam rushing to her aid, and little by little, Tashi begins to trust him. But when she discovers that Adam is the man she has been looking for, she fears that he might suffer the same fate as the FBI agent who sent her in search of him.
Will Tashi conquer her fears and trust Adam to protect her, or will she go on the run again in order to protect him?

Finally, we got Adam's story! I loved how he loved Tashi and would do everything in his power to protect her. It was nice catching up with the previous couples and their families.
Hoping there will be books for Robert and Yasmine..... Galen and Mindy. I won't mind reading about their HEA.

Great story and I love Adam Andreas!!!!
Adam didn't want anything to do with getting married, since being stood up at the altar and then another serious relationship didn't work out, he was very satisfied with being a bachelor. But he also knew that was not the Andreas way because heirs have to be produced to continue the family businesses. Adam has a penchant for saving damsels in distress, so when he literally runs into one and sees how skittish and frightened he is, he tries to ignore his nature for saving but fortunately for him, it couldn't be ignored.
Tashi Holland is on the run and has been in Granite Falls for a year and a half now, trying to desperately stay off of the radar by using cash and a burner phone. The reason why she is there because the FBI agent told her to go there and ask for a man whose name starts with the letter A but before he could give the entire name, the rescue mission went haywire and a violent shootout ensues and she is told to flee and not look back. So here she is and now after running into a man, she practically bolts for her life but then he shows himself to be very nice. Tashi is so tired of running and hiding but she doesn't trust anyone, not even him.
After a call came into Adam one night in the early hours, he receives a message from Tashi given to one of his employees. After receiving the address, Adam rushes to her in the middle of the night and finds her almost lifeless with sickness. Adam takes Tashi to his home, calls one of his best friend's Dr. Erik LaCrosse (The Doctor's Secret Bride - Book One (Billionaire Brides of Granite Falls 1), to help with her. After nursing Tashi back to health, Adam decides to help her from whomever she is hiding from and will kill anyone who wishes to do her harm but Tashi knows these people are evil but she doesn't realize just how ruthless the Andreases are.
This is Adam and Tashi's story of discovering that love is the most powerful thing ever created. Tashi learns to trust Adam and Adam learns that his heart if he is willing to give it, will be protected, nourished and thoroughly loved. There story was so great and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I also enjoyed the Yoga that was written about and also the Kama Sutra and its sayings. Again great story and I haven't read Massimo Andretti's story (Adam's cousin), so I have to get his book to read also.
Well Until My Next Review...Ciao Bellas!

Worth the wait!
Miss Ana did her thang, this book was so worth the wait. I love how Adam and Tashi came to be, their love rushed over you. You knew what would happen next, or you sure hoped for it to come together. She did a amazing job yet again, I wish there was more to come in this series. But since their not, it ended very well.
note to Miss Ana, you did a great job with this series. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Thanks for some amazing reading.

I read the other three Granite Falls guys and is still impressed with the third one, “The Playboy’s Fugitive Bride.” I still love me some “Massimo”, whew!!! That man!!!.
Adam is the last one in this group who is not married; he tried, but got dumped at the altar. His father and mother want him to hurry up and get married for an heir. You know it’s the usual back and forth between parents. He understands, but after being hurt, he just plays the field and keep’s the heart locked.
Tashi is running away from a very bad situation. Don’t’ think it’s not realist what she is running from, unfortunately, this is too realistic even in this day and age. Tashi’s is scared out of her wits and runs to Adam, by accident, for help. Why she even thinks he is the one she is to contact after she relocates from the bad situation. He is nervous and very cautious to help, but so is she in accepting. He does feel a need to "save" her from whatever is hunting her down. They go back and forth, not in the sizzling romance hot way, but slowly learn to trust each other. He has always been very spiritual and sensual in his practice of yoga, which helps him teach her how to find that same sense of self, happiness within one shelf, passion and love. The plot of why she is running and the connection Adam has to it was, I think the best part of the book. Yes, the romance was great, but that plot with all of the twist and turns and it involves the other “Granite Falls Billionaires,” was exceptional. I hope she continues with this series. Ms. Ross could write a mystery with romance all in one and keep the focus going on and on. Beautiful story.

Don't even hesitate. Buy the Tycoon's Temporary Bride, start reading and enjoy the ride. Adam Andreas is a sensually sexy man that believes in true love but has been hurt in the past. He tends to try to rescue the damsel in distress. I'd be his damsel everyday! One day he literally runs into Tashi and her eyes capture his heart. Unknowingly, she has been sent to find him because she needs protection. Problem is, she doesn't know he's the man with the name that starts with an "A". She couldn't hear the entire name she was given. Fate continues to place Tashi on the path toward Adam. Once finished with this book, I recommend reading the previous three books. You will fall in love with these deeply bonded friends and their soul mates as they journey toward happily ever after. Then wait for the next ride because it's bound to be amazing. Absolutely love this author!!

Another satisfying, sizzling, and memorable book in the series
This #1 bestselling series will stay with me decades into the future. In book four, The Tycoon’s Temporary Bride, Adam Andreas, the last of the billionaire bachelors runs into a beautiful, frightened and paranoid Tashi Holland at a Café he frequents. He’s immediately attracted to her and she feels the heat too. But she wants no part of Adam. She trusts no one. She’s all alone, and on the run from some monstrous criminals. Who is Tashi, who is she running from and why? Who is the mysterious Federal agent who sent her to Granite Falls, NH to find the one man he believes can protect her?
Ross keeps us on the edge of our seats with a well-crafted mystery but don’t let the suspense fool you. She does what she does best, taking the romance to another level with this couple. The love scenes are a slow, sensual burn (I’ll never look at cooking or Yoga the same way again), original and creative. In Adam Andreas, we see an alpha male who is kind, generous, patient, and very aware of his place in the universe. But Adam wouldn’t be an alpha male if he possess mind-blowing sex appeal and a ruthless edge wielded with devastating impact when necessary. Another addictive read from this author. Please ma’am, may I have some more?

I love it, actually I bought the 3 last books, reluctant bride, fugitive bride and this one the temporary bride. I love how the story was written, there are connections in all off them. You get to know the characters and fall in love with them as well. The bad thing t hat I do is if the love scenes are too long and too often I want the characters to just go ahead and finish it. That's the only setback I see. Too descriptive and sometimes too much .
I chose 5 because it has a beautiful story line, characters were connected and I felt connected as well. The ladies in all 4 stories came from different backgrounds and it was good. The only setback is the love scenes, it's too long and very descriptive, I think the author wants you to feel it and experience it as well. But other than that I love it.

Perfect Almost Final Story in this Series..
I really enjoyed Adam and Tashi's story. I loved being able to interact with the characters from the previous stories, even Eddie, lol. The smaller children having active dialogue in thus story was an added bonus. I always enjoy getting the opportunity to hear and see just what's on their little minds, knowing that this was supposed to be the last story in the series, but Ana Ross' decision to add another book to include all four couples allowing her readers to have complete closure with the characters speaks high volumes. I can't wait to experience what book five has to offer. If you haven't had the chance to check out this series, don't sleep on it. You will not regret investing in it. This I assure you...

Tashi is hiding out waiting for her FBI agent to call her. All she knows is that she is to find someone whose name starts with the letter A because he will marry her and protect her. She meets Adam at the coffee shop and again at the grocery store. Little does she know he is the one she has been looking for all along. But when she gets a bad case of food poisoning she calls the only person she can. Adam comes to the rescue and takes her to his home to nurse her back to health. Tashi soon learns more about herself with Adams help. He teaches her Yoga and meditation as well as many other things. He does end up marrying her to protect her but he has fallen in love with her. What starts out as temporary ends up being the best thing for both of them. Love this series!

January 16, 2023I had to take my time with the intimacies in The Tycoon's Temporary Bride because Tashi was so young and innocent, yet had lived through the most horrifying experience of her life.
Adam was different from his other billionaires buddies in the series. He was a yogi, so he understood the rewards of patience, which was exactly what Tashi needed.
I found myself falling in love with Adam alongside Tashi as he rescued her, nursed her back to health, then taught her how to forgive and love herself, heal, let go of her inhibitions about her body and sexuality, and grow into the beautiful amazing soulmate he’d been longing for all his life.
As one reviewer puts it, “Everyone deserves to be loved like this…”
Get your Adam on now!

I love Ana E Ross books & I couldn't wait to read this book. I loved this 4th book's story line. I loved the hot & steamy scenes. My heart broke for Tashi. I thought Tashi was very strong & brave for all she went through. i loved how Adam protected Tashi. I loved how the other wives stuck up for Tashi. I loved the scene with the husbands & their wives. I loved the scene with Tashi & her father. I loved the ending. Awesome job Ms. Ross.

One of Ana's best installments of the Billionaire Brides of Granite Falls yet!
I loved this story of Adam and Tashi! Most don't believe in love at first sight, but Ana has proven that there is such a thing. The love Adam has for Tashi from the beginning proves there is such a thing! This is a great read but I recommend you read the first three books in the series in order to understand all of the characters.

Ana B. Ross saved the best billionaire for last. I was instantly drawn to Adam Andreas. His quiet meditative nature was so different. Tashi innocence and survivor spirit were compelling too. I have to say this book had some of the most sensually erotic scenes I've ever read beginning with the first time Tashi Happens upon Adam in his yoga sanctuary followed by the kitchen scene and the bedroom scene when they first come together. Definitely panty-melting HOT!

Finally!!!
I'm must say that this book was worth the wait. It was very intriguing. At points I couldn't put it down. There was only 1part that I thought was a little too long and a little boring but that is just my own personal opinion. (some of the yoga stuff) . But I'm not letting it take away from my rating. Keep up the good work. I'm still a fan!!!

LOVED IT
I have enjoyed this entire series. Love the author. Wonderful love story about Tashi and Adam. Tashi is running for her life the only thing the FBI agent told her was to run to Granite Falls and find "A" and he would protect her. I enjoyed all of Adam's friends and their wives. The secondary characters were great hopefully we can return to Granite Falls.

I'm a huge fan of this series. I loved this book, loves Tashi. She was strong, determined and a survivor. I was rooting for her the whole time. Adam, oh Adam..loves him. He was amazing. Loved how he loved Tashi and showed her through his actions. Paul..Jake...yeah I kinda of figured. Great book.
October 25, 2015
Read it all!!!!
I have to say I did not like the this book after chapter one but by the time I reached 55% it started to pick up. Adam was weak in the beginning but he finished very strong. Tashi was a survivor. This turned out to be a excellent story. The editing could have used some work. I give it 4.5 stars if I could.

The Power of Love
Bryce was my favorite Billionaire until I read Adam's story. What a wonderful and generous man. Tashi could not have met and married a better man. He definitely got it from his father.

Enjoyable read, slow at times. I thought the endings was a little too fast. I would have liked more details in the takedown of Boris. Enjoyed reading this series.
