A Standalone Billionaire Romance Novella With No Cliffhanger and a Guaranteed HEA Fake Girlfriend...Real F*ck Buddy... More sparks than I bargained for. Vanessa Liam O’Sullivan just told the world that I’m his girlfriend. He’s a liar — there’s a difference between making a commitment and casually hooking up with him for years on account of his generous… package. But that commitment changes everything for me. One little lie sets my career into motion, but also puts the spotlight directly on us… the happy couple. He’s an arrogant, filthy-talking, sexy bastard with questionable family ties… who just changed my world for the better. Almost overnight, I start to reap the rewards of what Liam sowed by saying those three words. But it’s a lie he told just because he could. We can’t keep this up forever. I force him to agree that we’ll end the charade as soon as the opportunity presents itself. I’m a smart girl. No biggie at all. I’m certain I can handle it. I just don’t expect to fall in real love with my fake boyfriend. ***The Billionaire and the Bad Girl is a standalone, novella-length romance with a HEA, no cliffhanger, and no cheating.***
It's so good to get a new book from this girl. She has become one of my to go author's and I'm always eager to get more books. I've already told this but I will say it again. Bella's writing is simple, intense and super hot. It's so hot that you will need a very cold shower to cool yourself out. Ah ah ah The Billionaire and the Bad Girl tells the stories of Vanessa and Liam. Vanessa is a sassy girl that don't believe in HEA or true love. Friends with benefits is her motto and that's why she's been hooked up for almost four years with Liam. Liam is a billionaire due to his own work. He doesn't want to have anything with his family mainly because they belong to the Irish Mafia. He's been hooking up with Vanessa but he wants more. But how can he gets what he wants without making her runaway? And like always this girl nailed it. Another amazing and hot story full of meaning and hotness. The plot is amazing and the interaction between the characters is beautiful and sassy. There were a few moments that I wanted to get into the book and shake the characters and make them see what's right in front of them. The hot scenes are superb and hot as hell. Thank you Bella for this new story and I can't wait for the next one. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is the first book by Bella Love-Wins I've read and I enjoyed it. It's easy to read and would be perfect as a holiday read. I liked the alpha male Liam, the towering sexy Irish redhead and the sassy heroine Vanessa who doesn't believe in love or HEA. For over 3 years they have been Friends with Benefits but Liam is determined to change that. The sex scenes were well written and hot. There was a sub plot with Liams Uncle Craig and business deals involving Vanessa cold hearted business minded Mother which added to the story. All in all it was a fun quick read
This latest book by by Bella Love-Wins is just another great hit! It follows her theme from her previous books of hot and sexy Alpha men and the women who love them. This story is about Vanessa, the younger sister of Dylan who we met in a previous book of Ms Wins, and Liam the guy Vanessa has been involved with for the past four years. Vanessa and Liam have been friends with benefits for years and it's all because of Vanessa, she's not into long term because of her past and that relationship with her mother. Liam has other plans for their future and when he finally steps up his game, not giving her that choice, she goes along with his games. But the game changes when she finally realizes that it's more than just fake and Liam won't accept anything less from her and he's in it for long term. I truly enjoyed reading Liam and Vanessa’s story and their interactions with one another. I found it refreshing that Liam wasn’t all into other woman and was a one woman kind of man and stayed true to Vanessa. I also enjoyed the appearance of characters from her other Billionaire stories. Jace, Jackson, Dylan and the loves of their love, their women. The sex scenes were extremely hot and sexy and very well written. There is additional secondary little story going on with Liams Uncle Craig and business deals involving Vanessa’s very cold and nasty mother which does go with this story and enhances it. Overall, fantastic story!
My Rating: 4.7 stars ***** "I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
Seeing beyond the super-hot sex to something more...each other, and for keeps!
I received an Advance Reader Copy for The Billionaire And The Bad Girl written by Bella Love-Wins and voluntarily reviewed this book. Vanessa Worthington is a junior associate working at a firm that has been in her family for almost eighty-five, now run by her mother, with whom she doesn't get along. She has a certain go-to person on her call list to scratch her needs the last few years, and he makes everything fade away until only she, herself, matters.
Liam O'Sullivan doesn't waste time talking when he meets Vanessa; he gets right to it and usually, she is on the same page as he is, loving what he dishes out to her. Liam realizes that Vanessa is exactly what he wants, now that he has distanced himself from his father's Irish Mafia stigma and is a self-made billionaire in Manhattan. He finally wakes up and decides to use what resources he has on hand to keep the perfectly good thing he has going on with Vanessa and convince her to want more...with him!
This is a great bad-boy romance - Liam has to do some extra convincing for Vanessa to open up and see him as potential, but it was not so hard since she was already halfway there ;-D
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Ms Love-Wins just keeps putting out great books. This latest book is just another one in a long list of hot and sexy reads about Alpha men and the women who love them. This story is a bout Vanessa the younger sister of Dylan who we met in a previous book of Ms Wins, and Liam the guy Vanessa has been involved with for the past four years. Vanessa sees herself as a woman who doesn't need to have a commuted relationship and likes her current arrangement with Liam. Liam, however wants more and knows Vanessa wants that two but needs that extra push to help her realize he is the one for her and she is the one for him. I also enjoyed the appearance of characters from her other Billionaire stories. Jace, Jackson, Dylan and the women in their lives. I really enjoyed this story and l of course the HEA. I look forward to reading more of this ongoing storyline and hope to see what comes of Caleb and Rosa as well as a possible story for Foster.
I loved this book by Bella Love-Wins and this one has a bit of a twist that I really enjoyed. Vanessa and Liam have been friends with benefits for years and it's because of Vanessa, she's not into long term because of her past and relationship with her mother. But Liam has other plans for their future and when he finally steps up his game, not giving her a choice, she goes along with his game. But the game changes for her when she finally realizes that it's more than just fake and Liam won't accept anything less from her and he's in it for the long haul. I really enjoyed these two and this time it's the female who has reservations and doesn't believe in love. I also loved the fact that Liam wasn't a man wh***, didn't play games and only wanted Vanessa for over 4 years and was waiting for the right time to finally pull out all his cards to get her. A great enjoyable fast paced read that had me turning the pages from the beginning to the end. *I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book*

A quick read with a smarty pants hero and a sassy heroine. Liam lies about being Vanessa's boyfriend because he knows she wants more and he will push her to her limits. Will their fake relationship go all the way? The chemistry between the two was worth the read. Super hot and sexy! I also love how Liam puts Vanessa in her place. He knows what she needs and when she needs it.
Bella Love-Wins just continues to show why I love her writing!! This is a quick story about Liam and Vanessa. Liam is the son of a firmer Irish mob boss and he and Vanessa have been friends with benefits for about 4 years. But Liam is ready for the next step, whether Vamessa is or not. This is a sweet story of the alpha male taking control of the situation and keeping the girl. Super super sexy!! I voluntarily reviewed am advanced copy of this book.

I really loved this novella! The electricity between Liam and Vanessa was off the charts hot and Liam was just flat-out swoon worthy!
He is a hot, rich, alpha who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it by using unconventional methods. Liam comes across as strong and dominant without being a complete jerk, which is a nice change!
Vanessa is a strong, determined woman who has made her career her priority over every other part of her life. She thinks that romance only leads to break ups and unhappily ever afters, but Liam is out to convince her otherwise.

This was hands down my favorite Bella Love-Wins book that I have read. I loved Liam and Vanessa together. She was a single girl after my own heart and Liam was the perfect no crap taking bad boy that Vanessa needed.
I loved Vanessa's transition in this book she definitely showed some personal growth. Liam did not change much but what I loved the most is that he got a better idea of who Vanessa was and began to like her not for who he thought she was but who she really was.
Overall this was a great book...you are definitely winning with this title Bella!
This is an entertaining, quick read! Liam and Vanessa have been ' friends with benefits' for years but nothing more then that because Vanessa doesn't do relationships.Well Liam just told the world that Vanessa has been his girlfriend for years! She immediately reaps the benefits of being his girlfriend and now they have to be in a fake relationship until a good time comes along to come clean. What happens when that fake relationship turns into real feelings and nothing feels fake anymore? Read the book and find out just how good the story is!
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review!

Vanessa didn't want to look like a fool in front of her first clien, so she's going along with it. Will things work out? Will Vanessa be able to see how much she means to Liam? "I voluntarily received an ARC of this book for my honest review."
Liam has known for a while how he feels about Vanessa and he is ready to call her out. These two have been in a "friends with benefits" relationship for over 3 years and Liam has turned the tables on her. Vanessa has never wanted a committed relationship but when Liam tells his Uncle Craig and her Mom, Diane, that they are boyfriend/girlfriend, the idea of reality starts to grow on her. I love the twist on this book in that it is the male character going after what he wants against the female character who has her heels dug in was a thoroughly enjoyable read!I voluntarily read this ARC.
Bella Love Wins has done an excellent job on this short love story. One Irish ex mob boss son that's just a hookup for a law associate. The same law associate that works in her mothers firm. She has commitment issues because of growing up watching her mother put her career before family. So how does this billionaire get his girl. He tells everyone she is his girlfriend even tho she fights it in the beginning she realizes that he is correct. She does secretly love him and starts to let go oof the past and looks forward the future with him. I voluntary review this ARC copy
I really enjoyed this book , Liam and Vanessa have been friends with benefits for a long time , he wants more , she doesn't , what better way to get what he wants then to tell her family they're together , Liam is a very self assured cocky character but I liked him , I wasn't as keen on Vanessa but I can't put a finger on why , all in all it was a really good book and I love how it flowed , I'd like to read more about the other characters/couples in the book too and im glad Vanessa got her head on straight ;)
Oh this was a fun book to read.The characters were so fresh and so fun to get to know. I've read several of Bella's books, and they never fail to entertain. Liam and Vanessa are long time friends with benefits, but Liam had decided that now he wants more and it is time for Vanessa to see him as her forever. So, he proceeds to obtain himself into her professional and personal lives. He does it in typical alpha male fashion, yet you know he cares deeply for Vanessa. She just needs to let go and bring down those walls. Their journey is fun to watch and experience.
This is my first time reading a book by Bella LoveWins, and now I'm hooked! I really enjoyed this story about Liam, the bad boy son of an ex Irish mob boss, and Vanessa, a single young attorney who doesn't believe in love or HEA's. Friends with benefits for 4 years, but now, after Liam tells everyone they're together, Vanessa wants to run, but Liam won't let her. Determined to make Vanessa realize what they have is real love. 💖💖💖 I can't wait to read what else Bella has in store for us! I recommend this book to everyone!
Liam and Vanessa have been hooking up on and off for about four years. She wants to keep it casual, afraid of any hint of “more”. He’s ready to make it “more” and he’s confident that he’ll get her to agree. To get things rolling, he announces to her mother and his uncle that they are a couple. Vanessa is not happy, to say the least, but she feels compelled to go along with this fake relationship. What happens when “fake” becomes all too real? A fast paced and passionate romance.
Amazing how this story worked for the couple at heart, she was a lawyer working for her mother's business. He was looking for a lawyer for a new land development, he didn't know she was a associate lawyer. They both we're together for years, only a sexual relationship! He wanted more after all those years.... He wants her to be his forever!! Need to finish this story, you must read the story yourself! The author of these books is known for sexual stories! No chiffhangers! Enjoy!!!!
Loved the whole story.Vanessa is a strong headed woman who has sworn off relationships but when it comes to Liam she melts.Liam is a hot sexy Alpha in a beautiful way and Vanessa will be his she just doesn't know it yet.The writing and the plot was fantastic and super hot chemistry between these two.Lots of laughable shocking moments from Liam which I loved his boldness.It was a great book.I voluntarily read a readers copy of this book

I really enjoyed reading Liam & Vanessa's story and loved seeing the other characters as well.

Oooh! Bella Love- Wins has done it again! This has a hot~smirky alpha male who knows what he wants and knows what the sassy~smart woman needs before she does! Liam and Vannessa's story is fast moving, battle of the minds, bodies, and souls full of scorching heat, heartfelt moments wrapped up with just enough drama to keep you on your toes! I loved everything about this hot tale! A must read!
I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy of this book
A lasting relationship? That was not for her. More than enough with Liam, the satisfying hunk of a man who was her booty call. A man with Liam’s background had his own ideas of a relationship and he knew what he wanted with Vanessa and would make it happen no matter what. What There’s a say ‘who perseveres win’ and looks like Liam did his math. Interesting story with lot of passion, romance, friends, barriers to knock down and an understanding and supportive male. Liked this story very much.
I loved this book! Vanessa might think that she and Liam are not in a relationship, but he knows differently, and he takes control of the situation. He is my favorite part of the book. Yum! According to Vanessa, "He's an arrogant, filthy-talking, sexy bastard", and he is also a hard working billionaire that knows what he wants, and goes after it. I voluntarily reviewed this advance copy, and I really enjoyed it, so I highly recommend it.
Awesome, short story by Bella. This book was a very easy book to read in one sitting. Once you start you don't want to put it down. After several years of being friends with benefits Liam has had enough. So he comes up with a plan to tell everyone that he and Vanessa are a couple in love. Only problem is at first Vanessa can't believe he did it. Do they really fall in love? You need to read the book to find out.
This was my first read by this author. It was fun, short, and super sexy. Liam really made this book. He was a hot Irish tech entrepreneur. Vanessa is a sassy independent lawyer. They have been friends with benefits for four years. Liam wants more and Vanessa keeps him at a distance. But Liam is no longer taking no for an answer. He wants more and he will make sure Vanessa is the one to give it to him.
Vanessa was a sassy, successful lawyer who thought she could control the men (well, man) in her life. Liam is a sexy, alpha male who doesn't take no for an answer. I loved how he tamed her fiery spirit, and even though this was a fairly quick read, I got a good feel for why she felt the way she did about relationships, and why she didn't want to commit. Great steamy read, with an over the top hunk who gets what he wants. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Felt like I was missing something...this one just didn't knock my socks off like most of this author's books do. Storyline: A- Character Development: B+ as Vanessa was not imbued with traits making her likable or unlivable. Plot twists/turns: Barely enough to qualify 🙄HEA: Yes, but nothing earth shattering. (I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and found it to be simply just meh.)
