Temperance Falls Forever #8
Bedding the Billionaire
She thinks they’re a mistake
I've spent my whole life working toward my goals, being the best I can be at my job. Arrogant, persistent, pain in the skirt billionaire Colin Huntley isn't going to change that, even if he is the hottest man I've ever had the pleasure of working with. And pleasure is definitely something the man can deliver, without question. Our single, mind blowing night together was a mistake, though. A one-night stand brought on by a lapse in judgment. One I won't make again, so long as I stay strong as he starts his chase. Because when Colin decides he wants something, he gets it. And he's decided he wants me.
He always gets what he wants
Sloane McLaren may be the best VP I’ve ever had, but she taunts me every day in her tight little skirts and her librarian-fantasy glasses. Especially since that night. The one when I had her in my bed, in my shower, bent over my kitchen counter. I thought we were finally on the same page...until I woke up to cold sheets and an empty bed. She may assume it’s business as usual in the office, but I didn’t build my billion-dollar company on assumptions. I want her back in my bed, and I’m willing to play dirty to get her there.

I am loving London Hale. This writing duo gives us hot, steamy and sexy stories. They are quick, fun and easy to get lost in. This is exactly what we get in Bedding the Billionaire.
Colin Huntley is a man used to getting what he wants. And he wants Sloane McLaren. His operations VP. He never gets involved with his employees, but after one night with Sloane after the office holiday party, he wants her back in his bed. He loves seeing the always prim and proper woman fall apart under his touch.
Sloane McLaren has worked very hard to be the best at what she does. She has been dedicated, fiercely independent and ready to give her work her all. But from the moment she started working for Colin, she has been fiercely attracted to him. She tries to deny her feelings. But once she gives in to him, it gets harder to deny him. Especially when he is determined to have her.
This is a quick story full of sexy and steamy scenes. Colin and Sloane have such a strong chemistry. Their scenes are so hot! And it was so sweet to see Colin not only wanting her in bed, but in his life as well. Can he show her how good they can be together for the long term or is she already one step out the door?
Bedding the Billionaire is a quick, fun, sexy and very steamy read with very likeable characters. This story was fun to get lost in and I devoured it in one sitting!

One of the things I love most about the Temperance Falls novellas is the titles. The title is a tease and a promise like blurb. London Hale never fails to deliver a scintillatingly hot read. How on earth the authors who make up London Hale can produce such high quality reads in such a short space of time is astounding to me. Temperance Falls books are my guilty pleasure, I love how the authors throw so much into the mix, with such a steep build up and it’s all so believable.
Colin and Sloane were the type of couple that shouldn’t work as well as they do. She has so many barriers and is so pessimistic about relationships that I couldn’t help asking from the get go how Colin could EVER break through her walls.
‘Time to throw the professional barrier back up. which meant getting out of bed and putting clothes on. Soon. Maybe in a few minutes. If I could only–
“Stop it.” Colin pulled me closer and nuzzled the back of my neck. “I can hear you thinking. Quit trying to talk yourself out of staying in bed with me.”
Sloane is a unique blend of professional and smart mouth. As is typical London Hale, Sloane is able to fix her own issues when they arise and does so with style. Being a novella the story can only go so deep and the lust to love will happen quicker than it does in a full-length novel; however, London Hale never rushes it and it always feels natural and never, ever forced.
Personally, I enjoy when the authors introduce a secondary character in a book and then they become the main character in a new release. My view always shifts when this happens, I go from feeling like a mere spectator, to a kind of dirty voyeur. How any author can write a long series of books and not have it be yet another example of a ‘When Harry met Sally’ or ‘insert tab A into slot B’, by now is a true testament to their skills and abilities. I cannot wait for the next instalment ladies, thank you so very much!!!
‘All the while wondering how I got lucky enough to call this feisty, take-no-prisoners woman mine. Wondering if she’d ever know only a woman as strong as her could happily bring me to my knees. Wondering how forever with her could possibly be long enough.’

Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:
A SINFULLY HOT, SEDUCTIVE BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE THAT WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY AND LEAVE YOUR PANTIES COMPLETELY DRENCHED! This is a FANFREAKINGTASTIC and UTTERLY delicious romance! Colin is cocky, arrogant, sexy, and charming and I found him to be irresistible in his business suits and I freaking LOVED his dirty mind. Sloane is VERY pretty and sassy and gives as good as she gets and the way she gives Colin a run for his money was so freaking delicious.
The chemistry and sex in this story was OFF THE CHARTS, RIDICULOUSLY YUMMY and had me squirming constantly on my seat. And the sex wasn't the only thing that was great. The banter and witty dialogue kept me on my toes and nibbling my lip. I freaking LOVED IT! You will eat this romance up and come back begging for MORE!

I really enjoyed Bedding the Billionaire by London Hale.
The storyline was entertaining, hot, steamy and did I mention hot? *fans self*
I loved watching Colin and Sloane interact, they were passionate characters that made me smile, they made me swoon and they made me very hot and bothered lol
These two have chemistry galore and while they've tried to keep their relationship strictly professional all it takes is one night together to realise they can never just be boss/employee again.
Sloane tried to put that one incredible night aside and get back to business, she truly did. But what's a girl to do when you have this sexy, stubborn man determined you belong in his bed, his shower, against his wall, across his office desk and in his business world? 😉
Bedding the Billionaire is a quick, entertaining and steamy read that will bring out the feels and leave you feeling happy and very satisfied to have read it.
I'm loving these two authors work, they have a great way of bringing romance and steam together while also giving their readers and enjoyable storyline to keep them coming back for more!

Bedding the Billionaire by London Hale is a quick and sexy contemporary romance novella set in Temperance Falls. If you like billionaire stories, then you will adore this one!! Colin and Sloane are the type of couple that will steam up any room they are in. Colin is a man who is used to getting what he wants, without fail. Sloane is one sassy, independent woman who has this great reputation for getting the job done. The chemistry is immediate between them, pretty much from page 1 –there is no lead up, it’s right away. This one office romance—between boss/employee that is packed with enough passion, heat, steam and drama. I would have loved more pages in this book but for a novella, it was a great plot with hot main characters and some pretty awesome secondary characters.

This was a quick, sexy, super hot story, with a bit of forbidden thrown in for good measure. This is my fist London Hale read and first Billionaire genre story in a really long time. Colin and Sloane had that exciting spark as a couple. This story started out rocking in full force and ended on that same note. Colin and Sloane's relationship wasn't quite as easy as you'd first think, so the reader felt invested in the outcome. Definitely a hot, quick read.

Bedding the Billionaire by London Hale
Finding the perfect read is like searching for the perfect shoe. There are many sizes, colors and styles, but when you come across the one that is destined to be your favorite, you just know. Bedding the Billionaire felt that way for me. I'm not usually into the overly risque, but Colin and Sloane are a force to be reckoned with. Ms. Hale tempts with her domineering male and his equally alpha mate. A tango is only as good as the dancers that perform it. Ms. Hale may use a pen and paper in her performance, but she can seduce with the best of them.

I love a good, Hot office Romance and this is definitely one! And I love when the boss is panting after the employee. Also in this one. And I LOVED it!
Sloane made the awesome, fantastic mistake of sleeping with her boss one night but she knows that’s all it is and she’s not the girl who sleeps her way to the top.
Colin doesn’t sleep with employees nor does he sleep with a woman more than one night but he definitely wants that with Sloane.

When Sloane McLaren walked into his office Colin Huntley knew she'd get the job done. What he didn't expect was to be so taken by her beauty. Their sexual tension grows leaps and bounds as the days, weeks, and months pass by. Then his opening finally appears and he's her just where he wants her. It's a weekend he won't soon forget.
Sloane has never crossed the line between business and pleasure but when it comes to Colin, she can't seem to help herself. But the harder she tries to push him away the harder to pulls her close.
Just as their relationship is heating up, Sloane makes a mistake that could effect Colin's project. Will she be able to make things right before it's too late? How will Colin react when he finds out? And more importantly, will their new relationship be able to survive?
Bedding the Billionaire is sassy, fun, and off the charts hot. The flames from Colin and Sloane's connection fly off the pages and continue to burn from start to finish.
Colin is a man that is used to getting what he wants and what he wants is Sloane. The lengths he goes to to get her... wow! And all those sweet, dirty words he whispers.... damn!
Sloane is a strong, independent woman that isn't afraid to kick butt when needed. I love how passionate she is about her job but also about her feelings towards Colin both in and out of the bedroom. She's a woman that know how to make her man want her and she does it so well.
But seriously, Bedding The Billionaire is smoking and will require the reader to seek a cold shower once or two while reading this provocative story. London Hale always brings the heat and this a perfect final read for the year from them.
If you only read one London Hale, I highly recommend you make Bedding The Billionaire the one you pick up. But be warned, Colin has the tendency to make panties melt and woman swoon.

FINAL DECISION: This one I really liked. It is hot and steamy with some drama and angst because of the boss/subordinate situation (which some might have a problem with but never feels icky here). This is my favorite of the series.
THE STORY: Billionaire Colin Huntley spent a hot night with a woman forbidden to him, his VP Sloan McLaren. When Sloan leaves unexpectedly that night, Colin is determined to continue his relationship with Sloan -- even though her being his subordinate is problematic. Sloan can't forget her night with Colin but is determined to be taken seriously as a businesswoman and not the plaything of her boss.
OPINION: This one is well constructed. It is hot and short and the relationship between Colin and Sloan is just great. There is respect between them and their existing relationship makes the shortness of the story work fine here. The conflict feels less artificial than in some of the other stories in this series. Although Colin is the boss, there is a real sense of equality between these two -- both in bed and out. The story is very sexy (in fact most pages here are sex scenes) but there is something really respectful and mature about this relationship.
WORTH MENTIONING: This is a short story of about 55 pages. The story is also called BEDDING MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS.
CONNECTED BOOKS: BEDDING THE BILLIONAIRE is the eighth book in the Temperance Falls series. The books take place in the same town but are only loosely connected so this book works as a standalone.
STAR RATING: I give this one 4 stars.

Behind every strong and successful man there’s a hell of a strong woman. Bedding the Billionaire is following that same notion.
Colin Huntley managed to rise up to being a billionaire by 34, and his latest venture is affordable housing in Temperance Falls. He’s also handsome, a sort of a playboy and very determined. His project manager for that project is Sloane McLaren; a fiery ball buster that gets shit done. She’s also a a very attractive woman, who knows how to work her charm.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s not trying to work her charm on Colin, she’s there to do a job and then move on. But she can’t really ignore him, can she? Especially when he’s doing everything in his power to recreate a night of passion induced by alcohol in an office party.
When he’s finally wearing her down, she finds herself having a week of lust, only to realize she’s dropped the ball on the steel shipment for the project, and decides the affair is getting in the way of her job.
When Colin finds Sloane gone on Christmas eve leaving him with a note that things can’t go on the way the have been once she’s back from fixing whatever needs done, he’s panicking that he’d lose her.
I loved reading this story on the way to and form work. It’s perfect for a naughty train ride. It’s short, fun, steamy as hell, naughty and a little predictable (but who wants complicated when it’s a short erotica story).

Review Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Colin's list of things to do: 1) Bed her again 2) Bed her more 3) Bed her forever
I received an Advance Reader Copy for Bedding the Billionaire written by London Hale and voluntarily reviewed this book. Sloane McLaren is a successful and independent business woman, whose straightforward approach in her work has come up with the results she demands. The only really professionally epic fail to date in her life - giving in during a weak moment to the charms of Colin Huntley, her billionaire boss. She only lasted six months.
Colin was surprised when he wanted more after their one off-the-charts night together. He just didn’t do this with women. But something about Sloane just held onto to him, until all he could do was make sure that he had a chance at a second helping…maybe a third…Luckily, he didn’t get that rich and successful by people saying “no” to his face.
Quick-read, sexy-hot story of a billionaire being served with the best thing ever, and she was right under his nose these last few months. The roadblocks, fronts, and challenges that Sloane put up as a desperate attempt to stave Colin off were all she could do, because she didn’t WANT to want him. Too bad for her that he was willing to use all her weaknesses against her and play dirty, too! Loved this one, and this author's stories keep get better and better!

Another visit to Temperance Falls with the London Hale ladies and, as ever, it was a lot of fun!
Colin Huntly and Sloane McLaren are boss and Operations VP and start out on a very professional level but after 6 months working closely together, and a couple of bottles of champagne, things change.... in all sorts of ways!
Bedding The Billionaire was a quick, smokin' hot, sexfest of a read and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I liked the connection between these two, they were hot to trot in the bedroom but also got on really well fully clothed .... mind you, once they got close they couldn't keep their hands off each other - in bed and out - and how they got any work done was a real mystery....
My only issue was that there wasn't enough of this pair. I finished the story in a little over an hour and could have happily read more about them and would have loved to see how their future went with an epilogue!!
Another hit from the LH gals and I can't wait for our next trip to the island!
I'm giving BTB 4*

Colin Huntly and Sloane McLaren are boss and Operations VP and start out on a very professional level but after 6 months working closely together, and a couple of bottles of champagne, things change.... in all sorts of ways!
Bedding The Billionaire was a quick, smokin' hot, sexfest of a read and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I liked the connection between these two, they were hot to trot in the bedroom but also got on really well fully clothed .... mind you, once they got close they couldn't keep their hands off each other - in bed and out - and how they got any work done was a real mystery....

What this lacks in pages it more than makes up for in heat, because this snappy novella, has a whole heap going on and you will love every second of it.
I thought the chemistry between Colin and Sloane was great, the banter especially was a major contributing factor to the reason why I just felt that this pair worked.
Don’t be mistaken for thinking that the author didn’t pack more than just their sensuality into this book because you would be mistaken, there was a really great plot that kept me not only engaged but thoroughly entertained.
I liked Sloane, I especially liked the fact that the author wasn’t afraid to give this woman the intensity that she deserved…this was no shrinking violet and she was all the better for it! But then again, I doubt she would have been able to cope with a guy like Colin if she had been because when it came to the delicious Mr Huntley, this was a man that was accustomed to getting what he wanted and on his list, was the gorgeous Sloane!
The push and pull between them was highly entertaining and totally delicious!

One thing I discovered this year is that if you are looking for a quick and dirty read - London Hale has got your back. Each story is a fun little jaunt into steamy romance that will leave you panting for more.
Bedding the Billionaire is just the latest delicious read. Delivering us the story of Colin and Sloane in their tried and true fashion, London Hale ends their year of releases with a bang. Pun most definitely intended.
Colin is not stranger to going after what he wants and getting it. After a one time tryst with Sloane - he knows he wants more from her but getting her to see what they could be might be his toughest sell yet.
Sloane is a strong character, she's independent and she's a hard worker. She feels the chemistry between Colin and herself but she's not so sure she should be giving in.
I loved the interactions between these two, they really amped up the chemistry between thse two and made the story all the more fun to read. With fun characters, a great story, and just enough dirty to fit right in, Bedding the Billionaire is a hit.

FIVE STARS for this fast-paced, SEXY AF read!!!
I LOVED London Hale's short read, Bedding the Billionnaire. You get the first hint of what the book will be about from the very title, and since this is a very short read, it is very fast-paced. Lots of HOT, STEAMY AF moments from our hero and heroine. I loved how Colin wanted out-of-work and not-only-sexual interactions with Sloane, and how he wouldn't let her go without trying to win her heart over. I loved how sassy Sloane was, strong and fierce, career-orientated, but so passionate and giving when it came to Colin.
This is my first London Hale read, and it certainly DID NOT disappoint. With short reads, you don't expect much. Just a meeting, hot sex, and a HEA ending.
With "Bedding the Billionnaire", in less that 70 pages, you get hate sex, drama, doubts about moving forward, succumbing to one's desires, trouble in paradise, and a HEA. And all these with sex, sex, sex, and an alpha who loves dirty-talking and how greedy the heroine is!

5 Stars!
The chase is on...and he's playing for keeps.
London Hale captivated me with her sexy words, fun stories, kick ass heroines, and delicious alphas. This year, my love for quick and dirty little novellas grew a lot and Hale was added to my must read list after I read my first.
Bedding the Billionaire was a fast-paced, intense little story that left me panting and squirming in my seat y'all. Colin and Sloane hooked me from the very start and when the pages quit turning, I wanted just a touch more.
Great banter. Steamy sexy times. Explosive chemistry. The most perfect epilogue ever. You are in for the perfect story to heat up your cool nights.
If you like your books shorter, sexier, and naughtier then you definitely need to give these ladies a chance.
I highly recommend this book.

This was a fun little thing.
We have Sloane and Colin, working together and never crossing a line, even though they wanted to cross it real bad, lol. Anyway, all is dandy until… it isn’t. They spend a night together, and obviously can’t go back to being nothing now.
At least that’s what Sloane wants, but Colin wants to prove her that they could be great together.
Anyway, this was a fun read, with both these characters trying to get the other to see their way, and Sloane failing miserably, lol. There’s lots of hotness here, but I was also glad that we saw a little bit more of these characters, particularly Colin, showing a different side than the billionaire business guy.
I only wish we had seen more of this story. :-)

This was my first book by this author, and let me tell you once I started it, I could not put it down.
I loved that it started out with no preamble. The very first thing that happens in the book is Colin saying how he couldn't believe how proper Sloane was behaving after having her 4 time that weekend. Now this is my type of book! No BS just straight to the point. I like the no lead up, it just known from the very first page that the characters have chemistry. I just have to say that it's nice when an author does that, and that's what sucked me in to begin with.
I have now gone back and purchased more books from this author as I love quick and dirty books, and yes this is quick and dirty.

Bedding the Billionaire is the first story I've read by the writing duo, London Hale. I was prepared for a steamy romance, but I got so much more from this novella.
I really liked Sloan from the get-go. She was level-headed and took her job seriously. All work and no play. The same was true for Colin, the owner of the real estate conglomerate she worked for. He was successful for a reason.
The two gave in to temptation and boy did they know how to bring it on. The steamy scenes were tastefully written and I actually enjoyed reading them. Sometimes I get turned off when the sex is poorly written but this was perfect.
If you're looking for a quick read that's sure to please, I'd highly recommend this short story.

One night is all it takes to convince Colin that he needs more, much more, from his VP, Sloane. Oh my stars, Colin is one hot, sexy, commanding hunk with a very dirty mouth! Sloane is no shrinking violet herself. She's a strong, accomplished woman who isn't about to let one night - even if it was out-of-this-world amazing - get in the way of her career. Thus begins a battle of wills (or 'won't's - teehee!) between these two that is so hot you'll need to wear gloves just to handle your kindle!
This is the best kind of love story, one where the romance extends far beyond their incendiary chemistry to reach into every aspect of their hearts and their lives. It's beautifully written, and is a joy to read. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

After resisting temptation for 6 months or so, Colin and Sloane finally give in to their sizzling sexual chemistry and share a night to remember. The only problem is...Sloane is trying to forget. She's trying to act like nothing happened between them and for Colin, a man accustomed to getting everything he wants, when he wants it, this is driving him mad.
Sexy, quick workplace romance with an alpha billionaire boss and his strong, smart and stubborn VP of operations. I loved that Sloane wasn't a pushover and that she made Colin work for what he wanted. Sloane and Colin had smoking hot chemistry and hot, hot sexy times!
Another great visit to Temperance Falls, the sweet, small town where dirty dreams can become a reality.
