Review: Rocked by the Billionaire – Mandy Baxter

The sexy Billionaire’s Club takes Texas in ROCKED BY THE BILLIONAIRE by Mandy Baxter.

Bad-boy Luke “Lucifer” Blackwell is living the life. Being the lead singer for the rock group Riot 59 has brought him everything he could ever want—billions of dollars, endless parties, and enough groupies to last a lifetime. But when Luke’s wild life starts to wear him down, he returns home to Texas—and ends up in the arms of the one woman who’s always made his heart beat faster than a pounding drum…Kayleigh Taylor likes being a small-town girl, so she’s always been wary of Luke Blackwell’s fast-paced life—and of Luke himself. Fully expecting never to see the sexy singer who broke her heart years before, Kayleigh is completely shocked to find him back home, avoiding the spotlight and pursuing her instead. Kayleigh knows this can’t be right–his heart was always devoted to his music. But as they spend more and more time together, Luke is awfully convincing that his heart belongs to someone else…

Reviewer’s Thoughts

This is a short, well written story about Luke Blackwell a successful rock star who returns to his small hometown in Texas and Kayleigh, the girl he left behind eight years ago. Kayleigh was heartbroken when Luke left to pursue his music career and isn’t happy to see him again. She doesn’t trust Luke or his motives. He hurt her when he left and she has put a wall around her heart and is afraid to open it up again. Kayleigh’s a small town girl at heart and has never been interested in leaving Texas or living in the crazy rock and roll world.

I liked Luke he’s a straight talking guy with poetry in his soul. He has achieved all his dreams and lives the rock star lifestyle, but doesn’t feel fulfilled. Once Luke sees Kayleigh again, he pursues her, even though she tries to resist him at every turn.

I love reading stories about rock stars. Luke is bigger than life and successful, but misses the girl he left behind. Luke knows he can trust Kayleigh and he also knows she likes him for himself, not because he’s famous. Kayleigh’s an independent and strong woman and loves teaching kindergarten. She has learned to live without Luke, but when he returns he creates havoc in her life and she has a hard time resisting him. Can Luke convince Kayleigh to open her heart and let him in again?
