5 “When They fall, They Fall HARD” Stars⭐
An Awe-inspiring Action-Packed Thrillingly Suspenseful Read with Secrets, Lies, Mystery, Trust, Hurt, Betrayal and Doing Everything for Love❤.
This story And Saint+Victoria are Blazing HOT from the start, I savored it all, Love'em so much!


This can be Read as a Standalone, but best enjoyed in Series.
We know Vi-Sassy, Driven, Sweet & Saint-A'hole, Charismatic, Possessive from Sin+Summer's Story. They met There & this book also starts With that scene! Their situation was, Ahem, a little Complicated then. But they've a Sexy moment & Saint had told her: "Whatever problem you have, I can resolve it for you." (Of course, with Something in Return *Snicker*)

Saint is part of the '7', Billionaire Friends that Co-Own a company together and are on a mission to extract Revenge from the Mafia (with Good Reason!!). The Guys' Interactions are So FUN, the Taunts are Hilarious! (seeing Sin+Summer AND Jace+Sienna..*Swoon*)

To Save her Friend from Mafia, Vi has to Get close to Saint & get The ‘Evidence’. So now, weeks later, she'd come to Saint with A Proposition: He's a Dom, She'll Become his Sub.
Of course, He's Smart & Knows She's here For a reason (Which he'll Investigate & Find Soon!), But he can use her For Revenge, hmm?

Neither Expected Their Scorching Hot AF soul-Searing chemistry, Fun Banters OR their deep Connection. Even with all the Secrets b/w them.
There's Some serious Push & Pull here! Saint gives so many Mixed-Signals *Whiplash*. But Vi, Who he's Nicknamed 'Gigi', Is a Seductress and Saint Succumbs soon, On his terms Of course.
Marriage. A Bond to Protect, To Uncover The truths, To Connect her with him forever...For Revenge? Lust? Or...Love? It's all a Farce, Right? A lie..Or is it?


Them going Toe-to-toe & asking Eachother Riddles is Intimate & Fiery!
The day they 'married', with their Friends present (Vi had become friends with Summer & the girls!), And their wedding Night were The Game-Changer. A little Kinky with Strawberry Foreplay *Hot!*
But Maybe 'Cause He's her 1st in EVERY way OR Together, they just connect..As Weeks pass, Trust Grows, Secrets Unravel but Not All yet.. Feelings & Intimacy Grows.
“I had been a shadow of my former self…Until I met her. I’m not going to let her get away, not until I have resolved the puzzle that she is.” ~Saint (Oh, the Guy won't ever be able to let her go!)

Mystery Call, a little Jealousy, Snooping around, His I love You!
To Protect Saint & her Friend..She has to Complete her mission, have to Betray the man who've Become her Everything.
This Marital Bliss? It's the Calm before the storm.
Cue a Well-Planned Mafia Surprise Visit!! *Oh shit*
Vi gets hurt, Saint loses his Cool BUT *Whew* She's Gonna be Alright.

S+V love eachother so much..But Will Saint accept The life Growing inside her which Connects them Forever? She wants it, but will he?
Riddles, Past truths, Miserable Times, Kidnapping, An unlikely Ally..
Nothing like Danger to make him realise how much Vi+the baby mean to him!
Family is EVERYTHING. And, Swoony+Cute Scenes Ahead!
“OMG! That is... hot and romantic and sentimental. This man is a teddy bear inside.” ~Victoria
(Yup, Saint is a Secret Romantic!) Cue I love yous❤
~The last Truth's uncovers! *Proud tears*

Btw, What happened to Her Captured friend?
•I'm so excited for Weston+Amelie's story! They barely tolerate eachother but Saint sent them both to the same cabin for Christmas *Snicker*.

Saint is anything but!
This dominant male will do anything to get what he wants, Victoria wants a baby and will do anything to make that happen, even if it means making a deal with the devil (who goes by Saint).
Another great read by L Steele. She knows how to write great spicy romances that won't let you put them down until the end.
Bring on the next.

I loved this book! The characters made my guest hurt with their trauma they both endured in their lives. I knew saint wasn’t as horrible as he seemed and I could tell he loved Victoria as much as she did him. I was so happy for them in the end and I knew saint would come around . I loved the steamy scenes for sure and the narrators did a terrific job bringing these two to life. I enjoyed every minute of this audio book.

Nobody does sultry quite like L. Steele. From complicated, alphas to courageous, heroines and compelling romance her stories are irresistible. The Billionaire's Secret turns dangerous attraction into a compelling love story. Saint and Victoria are a tainted love match that is heartache in the making. Betrayal, seduction and danger are on the horizon, but the heart doesn't seem to care. East and Adele give compelling an addictive makeover.

Wow and wow! That is some intense stuff. I definitely have a love / hate relationship with how I feel about Saint. That man is so alpha and full of himself. Victoria definitely has more patience than most. But can they survive the lies and how they use each other? The past will always hang over them both. Lots of extremely hot scenes and an ending that will surprise you.

This fake marriage, enemies to lovers romance was so good! This book can be listened to as a standalone, but the overall plot is becoming more and more intriguing and I cannot wait to see what happens. I loved Saint and Victoria and Shane East and Faye Adele’s performances were phenomenal and I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook!

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Saving each other

I loved how persistent Victoria was in pursuing Saint to accomplish the task that she had been assigned by the Mafia. I also loved how Saint makes out like he is a total alpha hole and could care less about Victoria.
The steamy scenes between these two characters is off the charts especially as you listen to Shane East describing what is happening. Talk about HOT!!
