BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE is book one in JM Stewart's Seattle Bachelors series. BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE opens with two people who are anonymously intimate online taking the leap to meet in person. The hero and heroine in this erotic tale are separated by the differences in their bank accounts but first and foremost, for me, BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE is such a very human and moving story about moving past fear and finding love. The sexual tension in those first two chapters, as Hannah and Cade decide to meet for the first time and then eventually do, is divine and totally hooked me.

Having BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE told from alternating perspectives gives the reader a better understanding of the two main characters and makes them seem more sympathetic. What starts out as a strictly physical bit of great erotica morphs into something much more as the emotional intimacy between Hannah and Cade grows. JM Stewart does a fantastic job of building anticipation and capturing heat and intensity between the hero and heroine. I like that Hannah and Cade are able to bond over both being burned in relationships in the past. Hannah's trust issues go a little deeper than Cade's because of her physical scars. Cade is an extremely wealthy and good looking guy, but I love that he is very self-aware and has a tender side. It is Cade's underlying sensitivity and secret longing for love that make him such a terrific and sexy billionaire hero.

BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE is an exceptionally sensual romance with emotional punch, and characters you care about. Although Cade's critical parents loom in the distance, they really aren't a factor and strong presence in BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE. The epilogue in BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE puts a nice cap on a fun story. JM Stewart does a wonderful job of weaving the supporting characters into the story to become an intriguing part of the story without cluttering things up. I look forward to reading the next installment in this Seattle Bachelors series to see what's in store for Hannah's friend Maddie, Cade's sister Christina, and his best friend Sebastian.

Book Summary

In the tradition of E.L. James and Sylvia Day comes a sultry new series starring women who want to live out their wildest dreams . . .

Online, any fantasy is possible. But when virtual lovers decide to meet in real life, the temperature rises-and so do the stakes.

Safety. Anonymity. Invisibility. Those are just a few advantages of Internet "dating." Even better, as far as Hannah Miller is concerned, is the fact that she can shed all inhibitions without worrying about what he thinks of her figure or her face. "He" is bikerboy357, the man who knows what Hannah likes, and wants her-every night-as much as she wants him. When he asks to meet, Hannah hesitates. But the temptation is too strong. And after one look into his sultry green eyes, there's no turning back.

Cade MacKenzie's never met a woman who wasn't blinded by his billion-dollar net worth, but "JustAGurl456" knows neither his face nor his name. Her words are so smart, sweet, and scorchingly sexy that Cade's willing to gamble she'll be just as amazing in person. And she is. But even as every delicious encounter makes Cade want Hannah more, what he wants most is her trust. It's something all his money can't buy. And now, Cade will do anything to earn it . . .
