She’s eleven years his junior… and a virgin.

Her royal title could also be a big problem.

Loved Easton and Brielle. One's royalty and one's a billionaire. Loved the teaching aspect and all the firsts, and the Cherry party approach. Lots of heat and lots of wit. Loved the protectiveness of Brielle's friends and what they would do for her. Totally loved this alpha and what a sweet surprise party at the end.

I voluntarily reviewed this book.

Two worlds that couldn't have been more different

Easton and Brielle are from two totally different worlds but they couldn't be more right for each other. Easton is the best friends older brother. Brielle is the princess that is destined to be married to her parents choice. But her desire for Easton is not to be ignored. And Easton didn't know what hit him when he found out the plans Brielle and his sister had made, to loose their virginity at a ball. Nope, not on his watch. That's when things shift between them. His desire for her becomes so consuming and beautiful. His attention to make her his queen, even though he has no royal blood, is stupendous to witness. I stayed up way later than I should have to read this very romantic story unfold. I loved Brielle's innocence in all things intimate and her growth into knowing so much more.

Education for the Princess

Holy Hotness! Easton becomes the teacher for Princess Brielle. He's known her as a child, a teen and a young woman for she's his sister's best friend. When a twist of fate happens and he realizes he's fallen for her, his alpha comes out patient and caring and a whole lot of hottness. Ms. Avery is one of the rare authors who not only come out with a believable story, her characters are well thought out, her steamy intimacy scenes are climatic and overall quality of writing becomes a work of art. I'm not a fan of the form of cursing used, but that's me. Despite that wee glitch, I couldn't put this down and can't wait for her next story. Enjoy! No cheating or cliffhangers and you get a happy ever after.

Loving from a Distance

I went into this story blind. I decided to treat myself on this and not read any reviews. I really enjoyed the characters of this story. I immediately fell in love with Easton, not only because of the relationship with his sister, but also how he admired Princess Brielle respectively from a far, but when that door of opportunity opened, he continued to respect her all the was to the end, having her walk the path of discovering her true self intimately without rush.
The characters were well develop, and I'm glad the author Scarlett took the time with this story as her characters developed as she shared with the readers at the end of the book. You can tell she really put in the time to make sure this was a good one!!

Three strikes against him BUT
Easton knows he wants Brielle but he needs to overcome a few things. Strike one she’s a princess. Strike two she’s his sisters best friend. Strike three he’s an American who’s definitely not a royal. Easton goes after his dream girl with carefully thought out romantic intentions by enlisting his friends, her friends, family and even her bodyguards. Great romance with great sensitivity and heart. Well done Scarlett Avery another great heartwarming love story that’s hard to put down.

Awesome story!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story! Brielle and Easton were a beautiful couple. Their attraction and devotion to each other was what I fell in love with first. Then they determined to be together in spite of the odds that were stacked against them and the story became so much more. I enjoy reading Scarlett Avery’s writing! She is an adept author and is skilled at bringing out her characters’ emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Mmmm! Good stuff!

When innocence meets naughtiness

This is the first book I read from Scarlett Avery and I enjoyed it deeply. The storyline wasn’t redundant like so many bilionnaire romance are, and while there is PLENTY of naughtiness, the respect Easton has for Brielle just makes it so much more endearing !

Surprisingly fun.

Written in dual first person POV. There’s a good amount of hot, sexy times and a decent amount of humor. I enjoyed the pace of the plot - naughty exploration instead of jumping right in. There were a couple of minor typos and the book was slow at times but I still enjoyed it. 4.5 stars rounded up.

Well this book was very steamy but I liked the way the author told it. There is an age difference and the author took that into consideration. The story like was great and WOW did these two have chemistry. I like the story of falling for the wrong person not because they were bad just because he didn't have royal blood. Well written.

Princess and Billionaire

I love the best friends older brother genre. This is a sweet and sexy story. It’s different with the whole princess spin. Loved it and all the struggles they face and overcame. Their overwhelming connection was awesome. I didn’t like mom! She sure was a booger!

Siblings best friend

Brielle is Easton’s sisters best friend. He is very rich and he overhears them planning to go to a masquerade where they can lose their V cards.

Brielle has always thought Easton has been handsome and the one for her but she’s a princess and doesn’t get to choose.

The story is good, there are some funny parts and some swoon worthy parts.

At first I thought this story is similar to a lot of others that I have read but keep reading this story is all new! Brielle is a princess who just wants normal but her mother has her mind set on Brielle marrying someone royal. Easton has known Brielle for a long time but just recently noticed her but he knows as well that Brielle can only marry a royal but imagine his surprise when he overheard a conversation, it only gets better from there.

Brielle is a princess and the best friend of Sienna, Easton's sister. He longs for her even though he thinks he shouldn't. This story gives you romance, sweetness, sexy, evil mother's and good writing. This would be a great beach read or a rainy day couch read.

Easton has noticed her for a while but he isn't supposed to. She is his sister's best friend and a Princess as in royalty. Princess Brielle is expected to marry another royal (her mother is insistent) but she wants to follow her heart. Can Easton and Brielle fight her families expectations and find love?

I have read several books by this author and love her work. Loved Easton and how patient he is with Brielle and how he proves he truly is falling for her. Absolutely hated Brielle's mother and can't imagine how she could work so hard to make her daughter miserable. I don't read much about royals but this was a great read. If you haven't read this author grab and give her a try.

Easton is a typical dream man for any woman, good looks, plenty of money , and has his sights set on one particular woman, Brielle. One problem is that he is not royalty and she is the Princess of Belzer. The other major problem is that her mother has arranged a marriage to another prince. Sound familiar? But Scarlett has taken a fairy tale and turned it into a modern day story complete with sweet and sexy and a little drama.

I really really enjoyed this book!

I love a good friends older brother trope. This one started great for me because Easton was so certain of what he wanted with Brielle. I was thrown when the idea that they couldn't be together because she was a princess and had responsibilities...let's just say I was irked with that so I almost DNF because I think that trope is just dumb. Like if you really cared you make it work ya know? BUT I love Scarlett and have read almost every one of her books so I was certain it would end how I wanted it to so I pushed through it and she did not disappoint!

I really enjoyed the "teaching" or "training" trope because Easton is 🤤 and I am here for his alphaness 💯% Brielle was such a willing sub so it just made it all more delicious so THANK YOU for that SA! It was also so refreshing that Easton wait to take Brielle. I am all for the smexy time but it was a nice change that they got to experience each other fully before taking that step.

Overall I really enjoyed this book, it started rough for me but after a few chapters I know I was just being picky and SA gave me EXACTLY what I wanted. Go read this AND the rest of her Billionaire boys you can thank me later!

Are we getting a Thor book?!? Because YES PLEASE🙌 I know I would devour his book!

Easton was a rich man. His sister Sienna was BFF with Princess Brielle or Bri for short. Sienna has a “wonderful idea” for Bri, to attend “The Innocente Ball of Venezia” gala. This way she can maybe find a man that she would be happy to forgo her virginity. Even if she doesn’t, she can at least meet men that she may be interested in. Not men her mother keeps setting her up with. Bri doesn’t think this is a good idea. Neither does Easton. But as he hears the conversation, he can just imagine himself being the one that captures Bri’s heart and body.

OK, first let me say that the two friends that Easton has: Thor and Harlen are WAY Dom. I love it. The description Thor paints is hot and could make anyone drool. Second, I want a teacher like Easton. OMG! That man has patients and also a kinky side. He talks as dirty as his friends and can make anyone beg. Where was he when I was wanting to learn the ropes. I love the way that Easton protects and cares for Brielle but at the same time unleashes the woman he knew she truly was meant to be. These two are as great a pair as Bryce and Amanda as well as Ciara and Nikolaj. I hope we get to read about Thor and Harlen in later books.

This book was sooo freakin' 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Easton and Brielle have known each other thru his sister but that's it. Sure they both have noticed each other but it isn't until now, they both see something they like. A chance weekend changes everything for them. Here's the thing though. Brielle is a Princess and her evil mom has a Prince lined up for her to marry. He's a nasty slimy weasel who doesn't deserve her at all. Easton, on the other hand, does. He shows her love and compassion. Shows her that she's more then a Princess and can be a dirty girl. While you maybe thinking this book is just chocked full of dirty nasty time,it isn't. It's a lot of just pushing limits and teaching. Easton doesn't rush her into doing the deed. He leaves it up to her. He is such a great guy but is also a dirty talker in the bedroom. This was a great book with a romance and great characters as well.

Sometimes it pays to be at the right place at the right time. Easton Winchester overhears a conversation between his sister and her best friend Princess Brielle that will change the course of both their lives. Saving her from making what could be a grave mistake, Easton decides it's time for them to become more than friends. To say that Brielle is sheltered, innocent and naive is an understatement. An idyllic getaway turns his easily embarrassed princess into his dirty talking girl. There's a fly in the ointment though...an impending engagement to a prince whose playboy reputation and questionable morals. Bri's mother is in the thick of this pending liaison despite being told how unsuitable the prince is. Easton works frantically behind the scenes to gather dirt on the man and boy, did he strike gold. The truth comes out and the prince is sent packing. Easton and Brielle get their HEA.

Easton and Bri are huge on their own. Easton being a billionaire in the USA by the tech world and Bri is a princess that her mom wants to marry off to get more of a title and maybe some more power. To say that the Queen and her daughter the princess don’t see eye to eye at all. When Bri and Easton’s sister wants to take matters of their own into their hands Easton finds out and needs to be there to protect the ones he cares about. Bri and Easton both have feelings for each other but won’t say anything since they are worlds apart in their lives but one night can change their luck to become more even if it never goes for a lifetime. Will this two make the jump into each other’s arms or will they just think it isn’t worth it? Got to read this book.

The Billionaire and the Princess

This book was hard to put down just like all of Scarlett Avery's. The true ALPHA comes out in Easton as he falls for his little sister's friend Princess Brielle. As you read more things get more intriguing and he reaches out to powerful people to help save Brielle from disaster. Bryce and Clara uncover the dirt on a man who wants Brielle to be his queen. This has a beautiful HEA for Easton and Brielle. It's a must read!!!🔟🔟🔥🔥
