Review & Release Blitz: Bad Blind Date (Billionaire's Club #8) by Elise Faber

His biggest regret was letting her go...
Bad Blind Date by Elise Faber is live!
Trixie Donovan had been born stupid.

Okay, not so much intellectually inept as born with a stupid name. Named after her flighty mother’s favorite pooch, Trixie had spent most of her life fending off comments of her canine similarities from her siblings.

They thought they were hilarious, and she thought . . .

Well, there was a reason she’d moved to the opposite side of the globe and it wasn’t because she was close with her family.

She’d left California for bigger and better things then had kept on moving, putting her nursing skills to use to help people all over the world. But living without reliable electricity or clean water or hell, the internet had grown old.

Now she was back. She’d finally figured out what Netflix was, though she was still iffy on Tinder, and she’d become her half-sister Heather’s new pet project.

Isn’t that what happily married people did? Tried to marry off everyone around them because they were so sickeningly content that they couldn’t stand the thought of someone they knew not being in the same position.

So anyway, Heather pestered and Trix gave in, agreeing to a single blind date.

But then that blind date turned out to be Jet.

Jet, the doctor she’d worked with halfway around the world. The man she’d slept with and then had fallen desperately in love with. The one who, in cliché naïve female fashion, had decimated her heart. And the one who transformed an unwanted, but tolerable night out into the blind date from hell.

Because apparently Jet had decided his biggest regret was letting her go.

MY REVIEW
Trixie's blind date could not be any worse considering it's with the one man she let in, the one man who broke her already fragile heart into a million pieces when he ghosted her back when they were both working across the world. So when Jet has the nerve to first throw hostility at her, then later lay a kiss on her, she's justifiably pissed. So pissed she slaps him then drives off, not stopping even as he stands on the sidewalk knowing he deserves her ire, and knowing he wants her back.

Jet has regretted letting Trixie go ever since he ghosted her back then. It was just that he wasn't getting the love and affection he deserved, he wanted, from her, so figured leaving her before she left him would be the best thing. Um yeah...MEN!

Except his and Trixie's story is more complex than just a man being a typical stupid male. Both of them are damaged by their parents and the way their parents raised them. The way he dealt with it was to wall himself off, determined that anyone in his life would have to beg him for his love, not him begging them the way he had begged for his parents' love. Trixie though, she walled herself off also, but she just kept herself insulated emotionally and never let anyone in. Until Jet. So when he ghosted her, he really, really damaged her. So for him to work himself back into her heart was hard going. Really, really, REALLY hard going. Thank God this time he was all in. And thank God Trixie's heart just couldn't resist him when he was at his most determined.

I think this installment of the Billionaire's Club is the most heartfelt yet. Trixie and Jet are so painfully scarred, have such demons that it was a bit trying to read, I felt so badly for both of them and was so happy that they found their way back to each other. I love the hostility in the beginning, and the way Jet worked so hard for his second chance. I just love second chance romances when they're done right, and Elise has definitely done this one right!

The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée by Annika Martin Release Date: April 28th The Billionaire's Fake Fiancée, a sexy romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Annika Martin. I’m no Prince Charming, and the last thing I want is a Cinderella. My instructions were simple: scour the city for a fake fiancée who’s not my type at all. Have her on my jet Monday morning, dressed appropriately for a yacht vacation. I need a woman believable enough to convince a certain client that I’ve changed my playboy ways…yet nothing like the supermodels and socialites I usually have on my arm. Somebody too annoying to tempt me—no emotional entanglements, thank you very much. This is business only. If she’s unfazed by my looks and wealth, all the better. Should be easy. Right? Apparently not, because my people go and hire Tabitha. My hairdresser. What were they thinking? Yes, I said annoying, but I didn’t mean her, the most frustrating woman in the world. Tabitha is sunshiny. She has a pet ha...
