Holy Hotness!! Jade is all about nature and trying to find ways to help the wild life and Eli is a little crazy and adventurous but together they are explosive. This couple burn up the pages and leave you wanting their story to keep going. This is the first book in a new series and we get a little bit of a peak into the next book so the ride is only beginning. Great Story

"Ensnared" (The Accidental Billionaires Book 1) by J.S. Scott is a wonderful read. I loved Jade and Eli's story. This is a fantastic start to this new spin-off series, packed with entertaining characters, romance, passion, family, and more. I can't wait to see what happens next with this part of the Sinclair family. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, billionaires, families, and series.

Ensnared
By: J.S. Cooper

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Two people needing Love!!!

Well let me start by saying I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines that are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

This was a full circle book. We saw instant chemistry. However they worked at it without expectations and found Love.

Authors Blurb: Wildlife conservationist Jade Sinclair isn’t used to having money. But when she and her siblings learned they were part of the mega-rich Sinclair dynasty, they became billionaires overnight. Jade doesn’t even know how to act rich, especially when she’s dealing with an arrogant, privileged, unreasonably sexy snob like Eli Stone.
Unlike Jade, Eli grew up rich, and he just keeps getting richer. Eli is always looking for an adventure, and he’s found an inviting one in Jade—as resistant as she is irresistible. His less-than-honorable plan? Get her alone in the wilderness by buying out all the spots in her survival class.
Calling a truce, they strike a bargain: Jade will teach Eli basic survival skills, and he’ll teach her how to navigate the world of the wealthy elite. Jade has only one condition—she will not let herself be seduced by him. But some things are easier said than done…

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to
This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

This is a great book; this is the first book in the Accidental Billionaires series written by J.S. Scott. Jade Sinclair and her sisters have never had money, when they learn they are part of the Sinclair dynasty they become billionaires overnight. Jade is lost and doesn’t know how to act with all this money or who to trust. Eli grew up rich and is always looking for an adventure and he wants Jade. She thinks he is an arrogant, privileged, sexy snob. Calling a truce, they strike a bargain: Jade will teach Eli basic survival skills, and he’ll teach her how to navigate the world of the wealthy elite. Jade has only one condition—she will not let herself be seduced by him. But some things are easier said than done. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author.

Ensnared by J. S. Scott is Book One in The Accidental Billionaires series. This is the story of Jade Sinclair and Eli Stone.
Jade and her siblings find out they are now very rich but Jade a Wildlife conservationist doesn't really change. Eli has always been rich so nothing new for him but when he meets Jade she is something different than he is used to. Eli and Jade come to an agreement that each will help the other deal with their different worlds. But along the way the feelings that sparked between the two turn into more than either thought.
Really enjoyed this book and can't wait for more books in this series.

I had a love/hate relationship with this story, but the love outweighed the hate. The chemistry and sexual tension between Eli and Jade was perfect. That combined with deliciously steamy, sexy times is why I’m still rating this book on the higher end. The stupid miscommunication problem that forced their separation is what irked me and that’s really it. Other than that this is a solid, wonderful story. I love that a little mystery was thrown in and that the next book was set up. I definitely think I’ll be checking out more in this series.

Another fantastic read from J S Scott witching her The Sullivan’s series. This book centres around Jade, the sister of Brooke who we met in Liam’s book, only a millionaire. Jade wants a piece of land but Eli Stone won’t sell it. He has one thing on his mind and that is to get Jade into bed. A new billionaire she is finding it hard in knowing how to be with that much money. In his pursuit he makes a deal of 10 days to see what she could do. He doesn’t do commitment at all, she does so as the lines of the relationship get blurred and they both start to have those feelings a sickness and hospital stay makes the lines go funny as a massive misunderstanding tears them apart?? Will Jade listen to what Eli has to say? Can they ever have a HEA? A fantastic read. I loved Eli, he was a total growly teddy bear with enough caveman tendencies that showed Jade what she needed. Loved the story and the characters.

I love all of the Sinclair and all of the books in the Billionaire's series. Jan does it again, with the spin-off, West Coast Sinclairs.

I've been waiting (not patiently) for this book since Jade was introduced in Liam and Brooke's book, Only a Millionaire. The preview for Ensnared, had me waiting, rather impatiently.

Jade, the strong and capable, I don't need anyone heroine, and then the character of Eli, was well developed as the strong, arrogant Billionaire. Once you have read the backstory of Jade and her siblings, and then settle into the book you won't want to put it down. Jade and Eli had chemistry from the very beginning, mostly hostile on Jade's part..... until they touched during a wilderness training.

Jade's trust issues and her down to earth persona made her relatable to me as a woman. And Eli, as the strong, dominant, and arrogant billionaire was definitely my idea of a hero. Once they open up to each other about their passions, then their insecurities, it's easy to see they belong together.

Until a misunderstanding sends them in separate directions.

This was a very easy read, and I wanted to finish it in one sitting and yet save it at the same time.

Now, I am waiting again for the next installment. I am anxious to see who was the antagonist that caused the rift between the Aiden Sinclair and Skye (Jade's best friend) in the past.

This is the first book by this author I have read and I liked that it's pretty straight forward. The story is a friends to lovers, slow burn romance. There is no drama for the sake of drama, the H and h are both likable and the pacing wasn't too fast.

Jade and her family have recently come into money. A lot of money and the sudden change is still taking them a bit to get used too. When she decides to use her money for a good cause, she sets her eyes on a promising piece of land she hopes to purchase and protect as a natural habitat.

Eli Stone isn't interested in selling that particular piece of land for his own reasons, but he is interested in Jade. She makes an instant impression on the billionaire and he sets out to win her over. When it becomes clear that Jade could care less about his money, connections or daredevil lifestyle, Eli founds him self more determined than ever to prove to her, he'd be worth a chance.

Memorable Moments: The turning point for Eli, when he takes Jade Glamping and realizes that he doesn't want to rush things between them. He finally admits that he really cares about her and is willing to prove to her that she's special to him.

Would I recommend? If your looking for a safe, no muss no fuss read, this is it.

Jade is a wildlife conservationist who not only finds herself a sudden billionaire but also part of the esteemed Sinclair family along with her four siblings. This is much different from her modest upbringing and she is finding it challenging to handling the change of lifestyle as well as the people it attracts.

Eli came from a privileged background and he is a successful businessman who has only increased his wealth. From their first meeting he is attracted to Jade and wants to spend time with her even if it means ensuring that he is the only student in her class.

What started out as an arrangement where they help each other out evolves into a fling but can it be anything more?

I loved these two characters. Eli is so much more than a billionaire with an adventurist side and I liked how Jade adapted to her new life while staying true to herself. This is beginning of a new series and I can’t wait for more of the fabulous Sinclair family. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

West Coast Sinclair’s are just as amazing and fun to read as the East Coast family. Jade’s struggle with accepting her billionaire status has her agreeing to learn from Eli—a man she dislikes. The things Eli does to persuade Jade and the internal dialogue they both have on their journey is genuinely enjoyable. I couldn’t put this book down. It pulls you in from the first page.

Ensnared The Accidental Billionaires Book 1 by J.S. Scott is a wonderful new series and I can’t wait for the next one.

I throughly enjoy this book how Jade Sinclair and Eli Stone get to know each other as the sparks of passion surrounds them. Jade wants a piece of land that Eli has, but doesn’t want to sell. Eli knows that Jade unsure in her new role of being a billionaire and decides to show her the ropes, among other things.

Eli wants Jade in his bed and the feeling is mutual, however Jade wants a relationship and Eli wants an arrangement.

After an accident occurs to Jade lust turns to love, but can Eli let go of the past. I truly enjoyed how J.S.Scott turns a physical attraction into a lovely love story with steamy passion and a HEA ending.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves a steamy love story.

I love the "new" Sinclair clan. These folks know that life is not easy and Jade is having a hard time getting use to a new life style. I love her as a heroine! She is so strong and has a lot of sass. Eli made me burn up right away. The cat and mouse chase had me on edge wondering if they will be or not.

J.S. Scott's books are near and dear to my heart. I found her with KU and I will never get enough of her billionaire stories. Her characters have a whole lot of heart are so unselfish. I was drawn to Eli and Jade. I loved the story line and the whole wild life refugee we get to see. Ensnared is a great book to start off a series right! A huge book recommendation for me!

I was elated when this new series began. This the second book of the “The Accidental Billionaires” series. Elias “Eli” Stone is sexy, rich and known as a some what of a dare devil. His bad boy image is well known amongst the media then he meets Jade. Jade Sinclair is beautiful and loves the outdoors. She is a recent college graduate and a newfound billionaire. Her ideal of the outdoors are a little more grounded than Eli’s extreme adventures. Their first meeting sparks an interest and a pull that neither knew existed. Eli’s sexy stares has Jade literally “running”for the hills when they finally connect again. Jade then finally realize that there’s so much more to Eli than the media portrays. Their story was so beautifully written. I absolutely loved it!

I love this start to a new series and continuation of the Sinclair’s with the secret family twist as well as the instant billionaire twist. Jade and Eli are perfect for each other, they are genuine likable.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

I really really liked this book and I am so excited that this is going to continue as a series. Jade and Eli are an amazing couple! They have chemistry in spades. The rags to riches story of the Sinclair family was an interesting twist that is not represented that often in the romance genre. I loved that Jade was struggling with her new found fortune. We all assume that having money makes life easy. It does in some aspects but more times than not, it just creates problems. Being pulled into a hundred different directions Eli, plays hard and worked hard. Never one to get involved in a committed relationship, when Eli sees Jade, he has one thing on his mind.
Jade, being an die hard Conservationists she is not interested in anything Eli has to say.
Months pass and Eli is in relentless pursuit of Jade and he finally wears her down. Deciding to spend 10 days together to get it out of his system, the embark on adventures and see where it leads them.
Jade and Eli get to know one another and he helps Jade understand the ins and outs of having money and offers her advice on how to give back. The attraction grows and they finally give in to it and SPARKS FLY!
This story has a little bit of everything, heat, love, betrayal, drama and family. Jade’s family is amazing and I am so looking forward to reading more in this series and more from this new to me author.

I am so loving the new group of California Sinclairs! As we get a glimpse at all the siblings we really get to know Jade. She's not use to her new found wealth but she'll gladly use some of it to buy a specific parcel of property. As a wildlife conservationist she's willing to do anything to protect the breed that is nesting on the property. Too bad the arrogant man that owns the property won't listen to reason. That's how she first meets Eli. What happens after that is unexpected but perhaps not completely unwanted.

I really enjoyed Jade and Eli's story and definitely recommend it to everyone.

3.5 stars

It’s been a few years since I’ve read a J. S. Scott book. It’s hard out there for some billionaires. Apparently the struggle is indeed real. Jade is not very fond of being an instant billionaire pretty much overnight. She said so on multiple occasions. It was nice of Eli to show her the way on what to do with all that instant wealth. Such a nice guy that Eli. The last half of the book had me rolling my eyes a bit. For two really super smart people, communication is not their forte. That bugged me a bit but other than that it was an okay read for me.

All Jade wanted was to buy a piece of land so she could protect the wildlife in that area. Eli took one look at her and decided she could be his next conquest. Little did he know, she would become the biggest challenge in his life!

Sweet romantic tale of an alpha male and a science geek. Loaded with anticipation! Great read~

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the publisher for sharing a copy with me.

Ensnared is the highly anticipated first installment in The Accidental Billionaires series by J. S. Scott. It's a spin off of the the very popular and successful The Sinclairs series. These books are among my top favorite reads. Jan is my ultimate queen of Billionaire books - nobody writes better stories in this genre than her. I bow to her incredible talent to deliver such touching and captivating stories in the world of the super rich, beautiful and privileged. What I love most about Jan's characters is that they are multi-faceted and complex. She shows us that those people despite their vast fortune can have insecurities and doubts like everybody else. It makes them feel real and human. And that's what I cherish so much about her heroes and heroines.

When Wildlife conservationist Jade Sinclair learned that she and her four siblings were part of the mega-rich Sinclair dynasty, they became billionaires overnight. But Jade isn't used to having so much money and doesn't know how to act rich, especially when she’s dealing with an arrogant, frustrating and sexy snob like Eli Stone.

Unlike Jade, Eli grew up privileged and keeps getting richer by expanding his businesses. He is an adventure seeker who is always looking for his next challenge. When Eli meets Jade he is intrigued by her intelligence and her ability to care for herself. He forms a plan with the hidden agenda to get her alone in the wilderness by buying out all the spots in her survival class.

They strike a bargain: Jade will teach Eli basic survival skills, and he’ll teach her how to navigate the world of the wealthy elite. Jade has only one condition—she will not let herself be seduced by him. But some things are easier said than done...

Jade and Eli were two intriguing and very likable characters and I loved the sizzling chemistry between them. I was so happy to see that Eli wasn't intimidated by Jade's independence and her smarts - on the contrary. They turned him on. The strong and affectionate bond between the Sinclair siblings made my heart melt. They all supported and took care of each other since they were young. Family always came first to them.

J. S. Scott did a very good job with this story. I highly recommend it to all her loyal fans and new readers who didn't have the chance to pick up a story written by this incredibly talented author. I can't wait to see what Jan has in tow for the rest of the Sinclair clan. I'm giving Ensnared 4 stars.
