Jessika, a English Language and Literature graduate lands on a temporary job involving cleaning a married billionaire CEO’s office. Her curiosity caused her to be sort of punished by the CEO himself, Asher Landseer. After that event, Asher then offers her to be a surrogate mother to his infertile wife. With the money she can get and her attraction to Asher, Jessika agrees. A forbidden romance starts due to their magnetism towards each other and it leads to discovering hidden desires, feelings and plans.
My Thoughts:
The plot is very interesting and unique from my perspective because of my curiosity on how the protagonists’ feelings for each other developed and how they can overcome obstacles like marriage, wealth and the donation process to be together.
Jessika is a very curious, insatiable, stubborn woman. I sometimes find her a bit annoying because she can’t control her sexual desires or maybe she can’t help it because Asher is so damn attractive. She’s very witty, funny and strong and that’s what I like about her.
Asher’s character is somewhat confusing since sometimes he is very controlling and dominant, then he’s kind, friendly and sweet. I still like him though, and he’s very attractive.
Jeremy is a clever and reliable person. I like his remarks and the way he kinds of help the two main characters together. He is my favorite character in the book.
Beatrice’s character was also amusing. She thinks people who are not very rich like her are beneath her. She got a personality twist though at somewhat the end of the book, which is somewhat unbelievable. Jessika’s mom is also a great character that I laughed while she was having a conversation with her daughter.
Though this book was BDSM, sometimes I feel Asher is not that dominant enough. Some sensual scenes though are steamy yet the BDSM characteristic isn’t consistent.
I somewhat was looking for Jessika and Asher’s banter about books like the one in the first chapter since they were ‘book people.’ Anyways, their relationship is sweet and I think they are perfect for each other. I feel giddy when they are together. Especially because of this one:
All scenes in whole book happened only a few days, it’s a fast paced and making it a bit of unrealistic for me. I also find the ending was a bit lacking, like there should have been an epilogue regarding what happens to the characters. Nevertheless, I think the sequel, Billionaire’s Paradigm, serves that purpose.

Overall, I think the book is good. The narration changes basing on the character it is focusing. I like how the author, Cerys du Lys, writes this book and I would probably read the sequel.
P.S. I got a copy for an honest review.
