Taking on the Billionaire: A surprise pregnancy romance

Taking on the Billionaire was a fast-paced, steamy read with a bit of intrigue, a hint of betrayal, and whole lot of heart – despite both characters not looking for anything more than a short-term affair and certainly not anything that had their hearts involved! Adam and Tess were one of those couples who had sparks flying every time they were in any sort of proximity to each other. Once they cross the line and act on that chemistry there were plenty of steamy times, but there were also so many other times where you could feel the connection between these two. I loved how Adam took care of Tess when she became sick, and it was also sweet how Tess was always offering such a great perspective on his new relationship with his two siblings he has just found (the job that he initially hired Tess for). I did think Adam’s reaction when some truths come out was a bit harsher than I expected, but I loved how things ended up and were resolved, so just like Tess, it was easy to quickly forgive and move on! I am totally intrigued by the series arc – books that will feature Adam’s two siblings. I can’t wait to learn more about both of them. Knowing that the next book Sarina, Adam’s sister, and his business partner, Justin, are featured has me looking forward to that February release! Robin Covington has delivered on all fronts with her first Harlequin Desire romance. I did feel that this book had a bit of an edgier tone to it than some other books in this imprint I have read, but it totally worked for the story and the characters. Well done – a definite must for anyone looking for a quick, steamy read that checks off all the boxes of a Harlequin Desire!

4.5 Stars This book sucked me right in and I gobbled it right up. I flew through the pages. The characters had me hooked. I loved Tess and Adam. Tess is hell bent on revenge to the man who destroyed everything. She never counted on Adam to be the guy he is. Adam is loyal and has integrity something his adoptive father lacks. It was tough for me to watch Adam struggle to find a connection to his siblings. I wanted it to to go well for him. Adam is the kind of guy you want in your corner. He is definitely great book boyfriend material. Then Tess has been putting everything before herself and working on one goal her whole life. Now it's within her reach, but feelings get involved. Tess and Adam have a ton of chemistry, but they are also so adorable together. I was rooting for them the whole way. I would highly recommend this one. You're going want to gobble it up, but sad to see it end.

I really enjoyed this emotional and steamy romance. It is a roller coaster ride with witty banter, push/pull emotions, and steamy passion which is everything I crave to read. Adam Redhawk was torn from his family and roots as a young boy. Now he is co-founder and CEO of a successful tech business with his partner and best friend Justin Ling. But he misses his siblings and hires Private Investigator, Tess Lynch, to find them. Tess easily finds them so he hires her again to solve a mystery within his own company. It could also maybe have a little something to do with how much he was attracted to this smart, and sexy woman. Tess has her own reasons for working with Adam, and the more she works with him, the more she falls for him as well. But her reasons and secrets could put his business at risk, tearing them apart before they even begin! I loved Adam and Tess together. They were both self-made, independent, but also completely in sync with each other, and their chemistry was off the charts. I loved how this is about interracial characters, without making it a big deal, making it feel more real and honest. All the friends and family were intriguing and fun and I can't wait to read more about them as well. What a great start to Redhawk Reunion series and I can't wait for Justin and Sarina's story next!
