Queen B’s Decree: I had been expecting this pairing since reading Hudson’s book.
It should be self-explanatory that a series called “The Billionaire’s Obsession” would in fact include an obsessed billionaire. Truly, that’s what I have loved about this series. And yet I was a little surprised by it here. Jax had barely interacted with Harlow, yet he was obsessed with helping her, even when it felt like it might be against her own wishes and autonomy.
But they do come to a compromise and their friendship starts to blossom. Billionaire Unexpected discussed so much more than romance. There was grief, loss, and guilt associated with traumatic experiences and healthy ways to cope. It sometimes felt like Harlow recovered quickly, but who is to say what is the appropriate amount of time?
Jax and Harlow was a bit of a slow burn, but once their relationship progressed, it was sexy and steamy. Their friendship was so sweet and loving, it was a joy to read.
Loved the sneak peek of Cooper’s story and will be impatiently waiting.
