The Debt Collector

Rate this book
Rebecca

He’s big, he’s angry, and he does not have the patience to let me off the hook for whatever I did.

I’m willing to dabble in black magic and call upon Satan himself to sell my soul to him just so I don’t have to be on the receiving end of Mr. Strangely Sexy’s very powerful hands.

Apparently, I owe him money, and he’s going to take it back with interest.

A debt comes with a high price, and he is more interested in me than the money.

He’s going to take everything: my body, my soul, and my heart.

I don’t want to stop him. Not that I can anyway; he’s a brute and a grouchy, old man who takes what he wants.


Derek

She’s a young, voluptuous girl with a rat’s nest for hair and skittish eyes. She’s ripe for a night of passion under me.

She owes me two hundred thousand dollars in loans, and I have every intention of taking the money back through different means.

I want her to be in debt with me forever. This way, she can’t escape no matter how hard she tries.

What better way to chain her to me than make her pay off her debt through the means of my choice?

Rebecca Shaw will have to get used to this older and stringer man taking control of her life.

Love at fight sight is joke, but my obsession for her is not.

Interesting plot idea. A case of mistaken identity that lead into forever. Short sweet steamy book that swept me with a good romancing from a seemingly heartless alpha H. The h was smart independent chick but gullible at heart, while the H was ruthless alpha but knee-weak when it came to h. Loveable coupling and short interesting romance.

The most unrealistic story I have read in a long time. He is after a woman who stole 200,000 from him while pregnant - he supposedly finds her, takes her virginity and it still doesn't click that it's not the same woman? He is ancient, I am sure he knows how babies are conceived.
The whole story was just a bunch of jibberish.

Derek plans to get back what he is owed by Rebecca by any means necessary. Is Rebecca willing to do whatever she must to pay back this sexy older man? Fast-paced read with plenty of drama and off the chart’s hot chemistry. I really liked it.

Omg why are there so many four and five star reviews for this awful book? The better question is HOW??? I have to assume the “reviewers” are all friends and relatives of the author. From the weak story line to the awful insta-love trope to the annoying characters to the shitty, SHITTY writing chock full of spelling and grammatical errors, this whole thing was a hot mess of a dumpster fire. I don’t think I’ll be trying ANYTHING ELSE by this author.

i read this book as part of an arc program. This is the older man/ younger woman romance between Derek and Rebecca. Rebecca is a college student who is a little shy and about to graduate. Rebecca never dated and when her roommate mentions the hot older guy around campus, she drags Rebecca out to see him so she can flirt with him and try to get his attention. Rebecca agrees to with her, but she wants to run errands instead. When they find the man, Rebecca is shocked to see she is the one he is looking for. Rebecca panics and runs away, but Derek chases her. Derek is a debt collector and Rebecca owes him money, but when he sees her, he forgets about the money and wants Rebecca instead. Derek gives up chasing her and goes back to her dorm, where he waits for her. Rebecca it confused and thought she had another six months to pay off her loans, but Derek is a strong alpha who wants payment now. This was a good story with a strong alpha who knew what he wanted and no one was going to stop him from getting it. I liked Rebecca, but i think she was a little naive, i think she should have questioned more. Good one.

OMG SUPER HOT
SUPER ADDICTIVE LOVED IT!!!!!!!
Rebecca was happily in college when she got the shock of her life. A very hot sexy giant of a man came to collect the debt of the loan she took out so she could complete her college degree. She thought she had until she had finished but Derek wanted a return of his money now!
But Derek was willing to let her pay it off in different ways. Rebecca knew she had no other options, so other than saying she wouldn't sleep with him she was happy to start paying off her debt. But what surprised Rebecca was the control Derek had over her. And she found she liked it. And she liked Derek.
But its not all plain sailing …..
I really enjoyed this book, Its fast pacing, it's exciting and it was super addictive. I couldnt put this book down. I loved the style of writing and im so glad that I have found another great author in Celia Crown. This is only my second book that I have read from this author but I am super excited to read more.

Mistaken identity is the premise to this wildly intense and sexy short story. Rebecca Shaw college student, supposedly racked up two hundred thousand dollars in debt to Derek, he was back for payment, and payment is what he expected. Rebecca wasn’t quite sure what was going on when she found out that the hot older man on campus that her roommate was trying to seduce ended up stalking her for her student loan payments.
This over the top obsessive alpha male story was a passionate and entertaining read. I liked the way Derek was super focused on Rebecca and wouldn’t let her go once he met up with her at school. The debt clearly pushed back in priority as Derek wanted to spend as much time as possible with Rebecca.
If you like insta lust/insta love romances, this one ticked off all the required boxes!

I enjoyed this book. The story was entertaining. I found the characters interesting and I liked their chemistry. Rebecca and Derek's story is complicated an offers a few twists. It was easy to feel for Rebecca, plus she was very likable. Derek is the type of character you love-to-hate. This silver fox has rough edges and is very intense. I really liked this older man/younger woman romance. All thoughts and opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

This is a quick insta love story about an older man and a younger woman. There’s a debt that’s needs paying and each main character has their own thoughts on how that should be paid back. The male is a bit dark, he’s all alpha and he has a side to him that isn’t really expected. This is a really fast read but an entertaining one.

Mistaken Identity and Love

Rebecca has no idea what's happening when Derek confronts ger about her debt.
Derek wants his money back but doesn't expect the beautiful woman in front of him to affect him so thoroughly.
Don't miss their unforgettable experience as his dominant nature has her scared but captivated.

A unique loan payment.
This is the second book I have read of Ms. Crown and I enjoyed it as much as the first one. This story is a dark piece with one dominant male Derek is a character you will have a love-hate relationship with. This is a page-turner and I enjoyed every minute I spent reading. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

A ripped powerful protective silver fox and an insecure curvy young virgin romance novella with slow burn build-up and off the charts steam.
I could vividly picture the scenes unfolding and the depth of the characters made them so real!
​I have a book hangover in the best way.

This is a good book to read. It goes to show how a situation that occurs could be a random coincidence of something as simple having the same name and similar looks. It can actually be quite a way to start a romance but I love the book overall.

Eh, no pienso leer más este libro, lo dejé tal vez en la página 20 no me acuerdo, pero la verdad, no me iba gustado, todo me parecía un chiste.

Estoy intentando no leer lo que quiero así que si, empecemos con este libro. No se si le daré otra oportunidad a la autora, la verdad no por el momento.

Spoiler Alert: Hero abandons the heroine for a prolonged period of time, and to my romance reader sense of justice didn't have a decent reason, didn't make it up to her enough before she capitulated into his arms.

Todo iba bien hasta que desapareció y cuando regreso ni le pidió una disculpa a la protagonista. Es más le dijo que aunque la amaba su trabajo siempre sería su prioridad, para un hombre obsesionado no le interesa mucho.
