Review: The Billionaire's Intern

The Billionaire's Intern The Billionaire's Intern by Jackie Ashenden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Billionaire alpha male romances have been taking the erotica world by storm for the past couple of years. One would think I would be jaded by now. Whilst this may be true, Ms. Ashenden happens to pull me out of my jaded funk with her Billionaire Fairy Tale series. This one caught me off guard and I really enjoyed it.

In this latest novel, it features Lorenzo De Santis, the half brother of Nero in the second book in this series. This book can be read as a standalone. Lorenzo and Nero not only share a father, they share their hatred for their father. Determined to bring down the man, the two team up to figure out how their father is stealing so much money from their own company. Their ruthless father did not get to where he is by being a fool. He has his own plans in how to find out about Lorenzo's plans. Their father's secret (or not so secret) weapon is Kira Constantin. Kira is the daughter of Lorenzo's father right hand man. She is a party girl who suddenly is offered up as an intern. Lorenzo definitely doesn't buy it.

Kira is the quintessential poor little rich girl. Some view her as a spoiled brat. Whilst she was spoiled in some ways, it is more that she was misunderstood by parents who had no desire to understand their child. Or more likely, refuse to believe a child sprung from their loins could have any "flaws". In today's world, many children are diagnosed with ADHD. Some say it is over diagnosed. Unfortunately, there are also children who are ADHD and ignored. Told to just "toughen" up or concentrate. It isn't that I'm advocating for drugs. I'm advocating that children learn differently because they are different. What Kira learned to help her focus is key. It shows that everyone has different needs and perhaps if we gave people more options on how to learn or focus, we would have more success. I felt badly for Kira because she tried and when she failed, she ended up cutting of her nose to spite her face. And her last stunt ended up with deaths on her hands. This is a reality check which woke her up and made her change her life.

Part of this maturity through death, Kira is used against Lorenzo. Lorenzo is the one person in her life that showed her a little kindness. Someone who did not realize what kind of impact he had on her. It just goes to show, random acts of kindness could mean so much to someone in need. Kira and Lorenzo's interaction is amusing. It is almost more older brother and younger sister rather than lovers. To go in a kinky manner, I think being a Daddy Dom for Lorenzo would work very well with Kira. Alas, this story does not get that kinky. It does include some lovely rough sex and taboo office sex, but that is about it. Whilst Lorenzo may financially help Kira to realize her dream, Kira is the one who breaks through Lorenzo's protective shell. This happily ever after is sweet. This erotica tale is recommended for readers who enjoy alpha males and spirited submissives.
