Submitting to the Billionaire

From the time this book began until the time it ended I couldn’t stop reading this book. This is the way all books should begin, they grab you and don’t let go! Great job to the Author!!

This is one of my favorite stories by Georgia Le Carre. Does not go according to plan or how I thought it should.

I had a little bit of trouble with this one. Mostly because, kind of, sort of, it dealt with cheating. But I guess it wasn't really cheating considering how Star ended up with Nikolai, as well as what a twit (to put it mildly) her husband was. The more I understood about Star's husband the less I cared whether she was enjoying her time with Nikolai. And the farther into Nikolai's head I got the more I wanted him to find something lasting with Star. In the end, I enjoyed the story, especially the last few chapters.

Okay you're probably saying, how can she keep giving five star ratings? Because the writers of these books are doing such an awesome job, and Georgia Le Carre is among them. When I first began reading this book I hated Nikolai. Star was happy in her life...or was she. Having an older man treat you like a queen from the age of sixteen, and throughout, into marriage, she hadn't noticed anything off. Until the fateful night her husband traded her for his gambling debt. Being the person she was, who loved her husband blindly, Star would honor the deal struck with Nikolai. One month, then she would go home to her husband and all would be as it was. As long as he commits to Gambling Anonymous and doesn't let her down. Nikolai intends only to use her, but from the start he sees what she doesn't. Pedophilia comes in all shapes and sizes, and as far as Nikolai knows, Stars husband is just that. He intends to show him up for what he is, but can he do that without falling for the girl/woman herself? Read on and find out.

I don't think I have ever been so intrigued by a story in such a way! The descriptive love scenes are hot, but the overall stories bring such heart wrenching reality in so many ways. Thank you Georgia Or Care for writing it!!

Lawwdy Lawwdy!! I have read several of Ms. Le Carre books, but IMO, this is the BEST one yet. A tangled web was weaved and we, the reader, got a front row seating as everything was slowly undone. Mystery, lies, deception, addiction, obsession,love, hate, and sex. It is all in this amazing book. Nikolai is a tortured soul who feels he does not deserve love while Star is living her life wearing rose-colored glasses thinking she knows what love is.For me, this book ended long before I wanted it too, but I sighed happily after reading the last line. It is a quick read. Such a lovely, lovely HEA.

This author has some good stories, but I’m not open to men basically using, mistreating, or raping women. I think the books could be five stars if she leaves those parts out. The books would be more interesting to read.

Just like I like them: ruthless and headstrong. Backstory about his time in the orphanage with Pavel is sad. Don’t wish that anyone’s children. However, the two years of planning to get Star took incredible patience and I am impressed. That is dedication.
