I love the Sherbrookes!
I have fallen in love this series! Falling For The Billionaire is book 9 in the series and I admit I have been reading them out of order based on budget constraints and deals I get. So I can confirm that each novel can be read as a stand alone. Though for a better understanding of the support characters it would help to read the series in order. The Sherbrookes are a large interconnected family related to the President of the U. S, Warren Sherbrooke. It's like reading about American royalty, like the Kennedy family with less dirt. Falling For The Billionaire starts with a nurse Page, "winning" Scott a nephew of the Sherbrookes in an auction. The premise is funny and sweet at the same time. There is some twists to the plot ,as every relationship has a few bumps to get through before finding true love. But it has the happily ever after, I want and expect in my romances.
I had to laugh at one review that I read that thought the sex in this book bordered on porn! Compared to some of my fave romance authors, Christine Tetreault's sex scenes remind me of those old black and white romance movies, where one minute they are in the bedroom sharing a steamy kiss and the next minute the camera cuts to the window with the sheer curtains blowing in a gentle breeze. No Christine does not write steamy explicit sex in her novels. Her style is more sweet and sexy with just a hint of how erotic, passionate the sex can be. The chemistry and sexual tension between her characters is hard to mistake though.
I admit the storyline, billionaire with no intention of settling down, is flummoxed when he finds the woman of his dreams in an unexpected place, can seem a bit overdone at times. Yet, Christine Tetreault has a way of adding her own sparkle to the plot that makes her novel seem new and fresh every time. It may not be intellectually stimulating as say War and Peace but admit it, we read romance to escape the harsh realities of life. Romance readers, like myself, are looking for a book that is a pleasant interlude in a busy hectic existence. If I want to debate women's rights and the right and wrongs of relationships , I have plenty of non-fiction writers, memoirs and biographies I can read.
So if you want to chill out , with a cup of tea, a blanket on your couch, in front of the fireplace, with your dogs at your feet, while its minus 14 degrees and snowing outside, Falling For The Billionaire, is the book for you!
