Book Review: Taught by Temptation (Bardon Billionaires #1) by Emmy Elouise

 


Blurb

Everyone says billionaires have it easy, but all they see is the sparkly exterior posted about in the media. Behind the camera, it's a whole other matter.

After twenty-five years of being with the Bardons, he should be used to having money at his fingertips. But he isn’t and doesn’t want to be. There are so many people out there who need it more than he does. All he wants is to hide in his apartment with his computer and pretend the outside world doesn’t exist. Unfortunately, his adopted family are billionaires - not that anyone would believe it if they got to know them - and society has other expectations for them.

Danni has made being a single working mother into an art form. Or that's what she tells herself every morning when she's corralling her two sons into their uniforms and bribing them to eat their breakfast. Moving into an apartment is the first step into her newly single parenthood and accepting a job at her sons' school is the second. Dating is on her "no-go" list and will remain there indefinitely. She doesn't have enough energy to spend making another person happy because she barely has enough left to keep from crying herself to sleep every night.

When her neighbour finds out about their computer problems, she wants to curl into a ball and hide. No one needs to know how inept she is, but Max offers to help with no obvious ulterior motive. But when she finds out who he is, she pushes him away. She has already thrown one controlling, money-focused man out of her life; she doesn’t need another.

What does it take for Danni to see the man behind the money?

The Bardon Billionaires follow the lives of the five adopted children of Jonathan and Penelope Bardon, who are finding their way through life and love.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

I enjoyed this story. Danni was definitely a strong woman, taking care of her sons on her own, trying to be the better parent, and keeping all three of them happy and healthy. The boys were fun and quite a handful. Max was a loner who did not realize that he needed something more. He was so caring, patient, and generous with Danni and sons. I loved how his family stepped up to help out without any expectations and gave Danni a support system that she needed. I recommend this story and look forward to the next.

I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
