Black Sheep Billionaire
How the tables had turned
Once the boy who could do no good, Declan Gates was now the billionaire who could do no wrong. And blue-blood Lily Wharton suddenly needed his help in buying back her ancestral home. But Declan had no plans to succumb to Lily's heartfelt pleas. He'd keep her house, take her business and bed her—something he'd dreamed of for years.
But would one touch of her warm lips on his skin cause his ruthless plans to spiral dizzily out of control?

"I’ve been making up stories since the day I was born. I always loved to draw as well as write and as a child I drew graphic novellas featuring penniless but plucky Cinderella heroines. My love of daydreaming earned me the nickname “Dozy Duck” in Kindergarten, and I still consider staring into space to be a constructive activity.
I was born in Manhattan but my family moved to London when I was six months old, toting me along in a cat basket. I grew up as a Brit and traveled extensively in Europe during my only-slightly-misspent formative years.
I came back to the States to earn a bachelor’s degree in Semiotics from Brown University and begin a journey into the world of trans-Atlantic accents that I have still not fully emerged from. On graduation I returned to New York, where I learned to explain Semiotics on job interviews (“It’s the study of signs and systems of meaning!”) and to apply my knowledge in a very enjoyable career at a television museum.
While organizing exhibits on subjects ranging from Elvis Presley to Monty Python, I began to experiment with writing my own stories. It was quite a revelation to discover that the tales I’d been dreaming up forever could actually be turned into books. After a couple of detours--my son and my daughter--I focused all my creative energy on writing and my first book came out from Silhouette Desire in 2007.
I live in South Florida with my family, which includes an adorable greyhound and four horses.

Declan ha vuelto al pueblo que lo juzgó siempre como el chico malo para hacerle pagar a Lily la forma en que lo trató en el pasado... de amigos a ser ignorado completamente e incluso a esconder su amistad, lo único que busca es venganza pero Lily le demostrará que el pasado no está tan en el pasado como él cree y se deberán plantear como seguir en le futuro...
Como lectura ligera es entretenido aunque he tenido conflicto con lo rápido que cambia de parecer Declan en cuanto a su actuar, me esperaba tal vez un poquito más de tipo rudo aunque la declaración del final se lleva una estrellita más.
Simple, sencillo y de fácil lectura es ideal para irse a la cama con un final feliz.

I really liked this one. I thought I would dislike hero but I didn't, his issue with heroine wad justifiable and I think it was just right amount of ruthless and human. I liked heroine alot as well, she was awful as a teenager (I can relate) and she grew up and didn't make same decisions. I liked the plot and how it played out, wasn't bored at any point it flowed very well. P.

La verdad es que me gustó la historia.
No miento, no le tenía tanta fe y logró atraparme.
Me hubiera gustado que tuviera más desarrollo. Siento que todo pasó muy rápido pero entiendo el formato.
Es ideal para leerlo en un día.

November 2, 2009I tried. I swear I tried. I did my best, honest, but I just couldn't bring myself to read further than the second chapter. I even tried reading the last one and the epilogue, but it just didn't grab my attention.
From what I did read, the hero was your template Harlequin/Silhouette male, tall, dark, handsome and with a "grudge" against the heroine. But it was she that pulled the break on my reading experience. She struck me as a frigid little miss goody-two-shoes and there's nothing worse than that in my book.
Maybe I'll pick it up again at a later time, when I'm in the mood for some mental self-flagellation.

An ok read could be more but it was a ok book personally would give 3.85 if possible. But as you can see the other reviewers loved it so i guess get it. Even though i thought it was an ok book it wouldn't be in my collection and its easily forgettable
