    About this audiobook

    Waitress Marjorie Ivarsson is the picture of naivete. Raised by her grandmother, she'd rather go to bingo than go dancing. But when she's asked to be a bridesmaid in her friend Bronte's destination wedding, she finds herself venturing into new and exciting territory. The wedding is set on the billionaire groom's private island, and Marjorie is fascinated by all the new people she meets.


    Most fascinating of all is the man she saves from almost drowning in the blue waters of the island lagoon. She might even have a bit of a crush on him. Unfortunately, she's not the only girl who finds him so intriguing. Hotshot television producer Robert Cannon has a reputation for womanizing, drinking, and partying to excess. They couldn't be more wrong for each other . . . so why are they constantly drawn together like magnets?Contains mature themes.

      Sorry folks, can't say anything nice about this story. The Hero isn't likable, redeemable, nor written with any consistency. The Heroine is... vanilla in a world of 31 flavors. I have listened to few of the author's stories now, and looking back to the first one, each subsequent story was less interesting by half. I made it half way through this one and decided "Enough!"

      Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: A fast paced read, but the sleazy hero made it hard for me to truly enjoy my time spent with this book.Opening Sentence: Marjorie Ivarsson adjusted the bow on her behind and craned her neck, trying to look in the mirror at the back of her dress.The Review:Marjorie works hard as a waitress. So it feel s a little odd to have some time off at an expensive island resort in order to be bridesmaid in one of her best friend’s weddings. When not occupied with wedding activities, Marjorie enjoys spending time with elderly guests at the resort. Raised by her grandparents, Marjorie has always felt more comfortable with that age group and has tried not to think too much about how much she would like to meet the right man. She can’t help but think of it though when she meets Rob Cannon.Rob Cannon has worked hard to become the head of the Man Channel – a cable network devoted to a variety of sleazy shows. He has never felt guilty about the work he does. Then he meets Marjorie, and her innocence causes him to reevaluate some aspects of his life. The more time he spends with her, the deeper in love he falls, and the more terrified he gets about what her reaction to his job is going to be. He knows the time is coming when he’ll have to tell her. Will she still like him once she finds out, or will he lose the woman who has become more important to him than any job?I was pleasantly surprised by the first Jessica Clare book I read, so I was looking forward to reading this one. Unfortunately, this one didn’t quite measure up to my expectations. On the good side, the book is very fast paced and entertaining. I read it in one day, which is usually a great sign. Unfortunately, what drags the book down is a main couple that is very hard to connect to.On the one hand, we have Marjorie. She’s very sweet, but almost too naive to be believable. Her insecurity about her height also got old quickly. I understand that some tall women can be insecure about always towering over their dates, but the constant repetition about how uncomfortable she was just got to be too much.And then there’s Rob. From the moment he’s introduced, he just comes off as sleazy. Sure, a lot of it has to do with his job, but the way he keeps confronting Logan (the groom) doesn’t do much to help matters. Plus, every other word out of his mouth is a swear, and that’s just a turn off for me personally. Because of those two things, I never really warmed up to him. I could tell his feelings for Marjorie were genuine, but I just couldn’t see what she liked about him.All in all, while this was a fast paced and entertaining read, it wasn’t a great one. If the characters had been a bit more likeable, I probably would have a completely different opinion. This won’t stop me from reading other Jessica Clare books, but I will go into them with a bit more trepidation than I did this one.Notable Scene:“There. You are now officially rescued, sir.”Damn it, he wanted that kiss. But if she was missing his signals, maybe he needed to let it go. “You saved me,” he joked. “How can I ever repay you?”“Why, take me dancing,” she told him in a merry voice. “I promise to vomit all over your shoes and mine.”Rob threw back his head and laughed, delighted at her sense of humor. This was Marjorie, not the simpering girl from earlier. This was the woman he’d wanted from the moment he’d laid his eyes on her.Everything she said just convinced him even more that she was right for him.She nudged his shoulder, still grinning down at him. “You should probably get up out of the water,” she told him. “I think someone’s coming.”He glanced down the beach, and sure enough, two shapes were heading in this direction. It was a couple, holding hands and walking, and as he squinted, he could just barely make out who it was.Logan-goddamn-Hawkings and his soon-to-be bride.Ah, shit. If they saw him here on the beach with Marjorie, everything would be over. Logan’s people would swoop in and hide Marjorie away from him and he’d never see her again. She’d have her ears filled with what a horrible fucking person he was and how she was better off avoiding scum like him.He had to come up with something, quick. Something to distract the couple heading toward them before they made it any closer. Something to distract Marjorie before she realized just who was approaching. Luckily for him, she still leaned over him, smiling, her focus entirely on him and not the people heading in their direction. He only had seconds to figure something out.So he did the only thing that came to mind. “I’m pretty sure this wasn’t how it went last time you saved me,” Rob murmured to Marjorie. “If I recall, it went a little something like this.”And he grabbed her and hauled her down against him, pressing her mouth against his.FTC Advisory: Penguin provided me with a copy of The Billionaire and the Virgin. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
