“The world of Romance novels brings many a variety of Alpha Heroes. Some not quite human, some aristocratic Lords/Dukes/Earls/Princes of a manor of sorts, some athletic (Hellooooo Bobby Tom!), some handicapped, and some, yummy Scottish lairds/warlords. All deliciously sexy in their own way, and most, Sheridan would love to jump in a dark alley. Yeah alright ALL of them okay? Except the…battery operated one arm guy. It is also no secret, here in the ripmybodice.com offices and on this our fair website, that I have a deep everlasting love for Matthew Farrell. So of all the Alpha Heroes I love and would jump in a dark alley, the boy from the school of hard knocks turned billionaire corporate raider is the one Alpha Hero I’d jump, knock out, then drag back home, only to tie him to my bed ala “Misery†style. It’s no wonder therefore when Lola said “hey! Jessica Bird has a new book out about a billionaire corporate rai—-“, I was running to the bookstore like a crackwhore prostitute running from her pimp. Not that I’ve had any personal experience or anything. No seriously.

“Aw, so Butch O'neal was mentioned here. Wasn't expecting that. It was a very nice read but I'm incredibly dissapointed to find out she actually abandoned this series. I would have loved to read about the two other brothers. She's too busy being J.R. Ward nowadays, I suppose.”

“Got this on Bookmooch after reading the positive reviews. I'd give this a B-/C+. The heroine was TOO perfect, too giving, too self-sacrificing, and the conflict set up/resolution was entirely predictable.

Personally, after being routinely distrusted and dismissed by this guy, I'd have insisted on intensive therapy BEFORE I considered dating him again. Understandable, if predictable issues he had, but he was pretty much a tool to her repeatedly.”
“As good as Man in a Million. Jessica Bird is my favourite category romance writer at the moment.”

“Not a big reader of series romance, I think my opinions have no frame of reference. Do I review this as a straight-up romance? Or do I review as a series romance? The Billionaire Next Door may be great series reading (and the comments I have seen on various discussions boards say that it is) but for me, it was only average at best. After trying several of Bird’s romances (I love her as J R Ward), I am giving up on her series writing. They are too simplistic for my taste. The heroine, Lizzie, is too sweet and I had to wonder what attracted the hero to her. When she discovers Sean’s identity, she experiences a personality change – and not a small one either. Lizzie suddenly becomes the strong one – the one who heals all – and is all wise. The abuse Sean and his brothers suffered is severe, too textbook, and it is very obvious this is serving as the setup of a series of tortured brother heroes. The unbelievable factor reigns - these three brothers are all extremely successful men – all very different – and all from an extremely abusive background. It’s too much to tackle in such a short book even if this one does concentrate on one brother. Give it a hundred more pages and it may have played out much better. 3/08”
