The Billionaire Banker Series - Box Set

This box set review covers the first three books in this series - Owned, Forty2 Days and Besotted. It appears there may be one more book coming that will tie this story up tightly and move us on to other characters. Even so, this story is pretty much complete and well worth reading now. If there is more, it will only be a bonus to what already exists.Every time I begin to think this genre doesn't have very much more to offer, and the books all start reading the same, I come across a story that blows me away. This set was one of those instances.Lana Bloom's mother is dying of cancer and all conventional medicine has failed. There is a possible experimental treatment in the U.S. (Lana lives in London) but it is extremely expensive and Lana has grown up in poverty. She decides that her only viable option to obtain that amount of money is to sell herself and her virginity. The only man she knows who might be able to afford what she is asking is her boss, a brutish weasel. He takes her to an upper class restaurant to discuss her proposition, which is where banker Blake Law Barrington first sees her. Blake belongs to the highest subset of the world's uber rich, those who rule the world through money. Blake invites Lana and her boss to a party where he connects with Lana prior to the deal with her boss being finalized and, without knowing the particulars, offers Lana twice whatever amount she was proposing. Thus begins the 3 months during which Lana will be owned by Blake.Although this storyline sounded like many I've read before, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the content was so much more than the many before it. The character development was amazingly consistent and well portrayed. The story flows beautifully from one scenario to the next, even when there are gaps of time between them. But I believe that what allowed this to occur, and what makes this story rise well above so many others, is the descriptive writing of this author. It was not only related to the thoughts and emotions of the characters; it extended to every aspect of the story. One could see the scenery, feel the emotions and understand the actions throughout.I don't recall having read any other of this author's books, but you can be absolutely sure that this will not be the only one I read. I have found a pearl in a bunch of oysters and I plan to keep looking for more. This is simply one of those times when I begin to question my prior book ratings and feel that 5 stars just isn't high enough. This was definitely 5+++

Let me start off by saying that if I had not bought this as a boxed set at the end of the first book I would have been howling in outrage. Its definitely a cliff hanger, so boxed set is the best way to read the series. This is an incredibly well written series, the characters are real enough to love and hate at the same time. Lana is a young lady trying to find the money to pay for her mother's cancer treatment and the only way she can do that is to sell herself to the highest bidder. The first bidder is a POS for sure! The rescue bidder is the billionaire banker. Blake comes to Lana's rescue and offers to double the first offer, which is more than enough money to provide for mom's treatment. Lana is surrounded by love even tho they all live in poverty, so the opportunity to have money is a little overwhelming. The story progresses well, as expected Blake and Lana fall in love. There in lies the problem. Blakes fiancee isn't happy about the situation and causes problems. Blakes father isn't happy and causes problems. Blake and Lana just keep on loving each other in spite of the difficulties until the twists and turns come which are mind blowing and totally unexpected. As a boxed set you won't go wrong with this series, but individually, I would have been soooo upset! You want to be able to turn the page and see what happens next. I love this series, hate the ugly parts of it but thats as the author intended it to be. It might not be for everyone, I wouldn't think anyone under 18 should read this for the hot as hell sexual content and the sometimes deviant scenes. Overall its a great read, a page turner and.... well just try it, I don't see how you could be sorry.

Blake Barrington is a man of wealth and power! Lana Bloom is the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Their first encounter is when Lana is desperate for money, to send her mother for experimental treatment in the US. She is so desperate she is going to sell her virginity to her pervert boss. But then Blake overheard the conversation and intervenes. Then things get really complicated after Lana agrees. Inn the second book. Lana comes back from a year in Iran where she went when Blake's fiance threatened her and paid her to leave. Blake still wants her and demands she gives him the 42 days that are left in the contract. But there is a complication. While in Iran Lana has Blake's baby Sorab. She tries to hide that fact from Blake, but when he sees him he knows. Blake has to do anything to protect Lana and Sorab. His father takes Lana and Sorab but Blake rescues them. But he also kills his father in a plane crash. Book 3 is Blake telling Victoria he is not going to marry her he is in love with Lana. A must read. Exciting to the very end I could not. Put it down.

Very good series about Blake Barrington, very very rich banker in London who falls in love with a woman he pays one hundred thousand to be his mistress for three months. Lana Bloom finds herself in a very bad position of needing a lot of money to try to help cure her mother's cancer in a special clinic in America but does not have the funds to do this and has only one option. She must sell her virginity to get the funds and is trying to negotiate the deal at a restaurant with someone she is working for Rupert who is very unattractive, treats her like a complete slut, tries to get her as cheaply as possible, and wants to have rape fantasies with her. Blake , who is engaged to Victoria, a nasty spoiled #itch, invites Lana and Rupert to a party and intercedes and outbids Rupert for Lana. There is so much going on in this series from then on. Blake's family and Victoria's family are completely evil and twisted. The things that happen and that Blake is expected to do to remain in the family are atrocious at best. The society and how he lives his life and has is mind boggling and all this impacts Lana completely despite her innocence. Cannot wait to read the next two books to see how this all turns out.

A história é ótima, muito bem escrita, envolvente, dramática, as cenas de sexo muito bem escritas. Só teria elogios a esse livro e daria cinco estrelas, se não fosse pela mentira de não ser um box com todos os livros, a saga completa. Aqui só tem três de cinco livros, e isso me irrita, pois é propaganda enganosa! Não é a primeira vez que vejo isso na Amazon e acho um desrespeito à nós, leitores.

What can I say?This box set was beyond my expectations. It's gripping ,thrilling,absolutely scorching hot. The plot is something completely mind blowing .I've read too many books so far but none with this kind of plot. It really got me thinking. The only thing that got me is: how can a person who has astonishing blue eyes have a stormy gray stare???????<>an amazing writer with a vivid imagination .

I really enjoyed the start of this series, the first book was intriguing and the storyline gripped your attention and the characters really drew you in. I liked the chemistry between the characters and the way the story developed. Then the second book started to get abit strange and far fetched, she loves him she hates him she loves him, she's scared, she's going to run oh no hang on let's have more sex and everything is ok. Then the third book.. I wish I hadn't bothered, totally ruined it, way off base and lost the plot completely. Not a clue what they were talking about half the time, weird storyline development and I definitely won't be purchasing the next book.

This is the first series that I have read by this author and I have absolutely loved it.OK... so there are some terms that I don’t particularly like.... for instance referring to a gentleman’s manhood as his meat... not particularly appealing and rather off putting but I can easily overlook this for the excellent and gripping story.I honestly have not been able to put these books down. They have absolutely had me desperate to turn the page. There’s beautifully heartwarming moments, laugh out loud giggly moments and chapters where you think your heart is literally going to sink into your stomach. I’ve laughed, chuckled, cringed, eye rolled and cried throughout this series so far and I cannot wait to continue reading more about Blake and Lana.Blake is everything an alpha should be... rich, powerful, strong, commanding, dominant but also loving, caring, kind, considerate and fiercely protective. He’s instantly likeable and grows to be entirely loveable. Ok... so book two, he starts out being a prize bastard towards Lana... but he’s hurting. The ‘Exposed’ 2.1 novella at the end of the series is genius. It really lets you see what Blake is thinking and feeling and it flips everything you thought you knew about Blake in book two on it’s head. It’s a fantastic addition that gives an insight into the torment Blake has gone through.Well done Georgia Le Carre... you’ve set the bar very high. Absolutely bloody fantastic. Keep it up!
