I really wanted to like this book but Riley really rubbed me the wrong way. I appreciate people who want to protect animals but I do NOT like being preached at or made to feel like animals are more important than people. Also, Seth was annoying and kind of an arrogant ass. I DNFed.

I rated this book a 3 star of GoodReads but did not write a formal review at the time. I thought I would post the star rating here and clear this off my shelf.

At this time, as I am guessing is obvious by the publication date that was literally years ago, I have decided not to review this title.

Technically, I made this decision a while ago, but was not as prompt with sending feedback as I should have been. My apologies for the delay, as well as clogging up your inbox with this very late review response.

As always, while incredibly late, I thank you for the opportunity to read and review one of your titles.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest review.
J.S. Scott does not disappoint in this book and captivates your attention. Great read and I will definitely recommend this author to others.

Really enjoyed this instalment in this series. I loved the interaction between Seth and Riley as they both battled with themselves and each other! They certainly prove that opposites attract. Really well written as you would expect from this author and plenty of turns to keep the story interesting throughout. Can’t wait to read Noah’s story.

I enjoyed this book, it was a fun story. A blue collar worked turned billionaire who meets his match in and environmental lawyer who becomes friends with his sister. The twist and turns of their backgrounds, their connection is real, something they both try to stay away from, however the pull is too strong. Seth hires her as his girlfriend. There are rules, no touching, no sex, but once they really get to know each other, they fall and they fall hard! The connection is too much and their story explodes. Seth does not know the world he just entered is the world she wants to escape..... but will Seth be worth it? Will coming face to face with her demons be too much? With the love and support of Seth, who will protect her at all costs, love sure seems possible.

I absolutely loved this romance! the main characters had great chemistry, and the secondary characters added some great texture to the plot. Can't wait to read the next in the series.

This was my first JS Scott book and I was quite surprised by it! It is the third in a series, and while it read fine as a stand-alone I think I would have liked it more if I had read the other books in the series first. I did enjoy the authors writing and steam level! 3.5 stars

Seth Sinclair always knew love through his family but trying to find a woman who was not after is money was almost impossible until a beautiful red head and tough as nails lawyer named Riley Montgomery entered his life. Riley’s family was just the opposite of Seth’s. She was born into a wealthy family but love was not part of the equation. Riley became a successful lawyer and eventually she became a advocate for the less fortunate and trying to preserve the environment. Saving a piece of land to preserve an animal’s natural habitat that Seth owns is what brought the two together. Their encounter was electric and the sexual attraction was undeniable. Seth knew he wanted Riley and little by little he broke down the walls she was determined to keep up. Together they discovered what true love is all about. I enjoyed reading their beautiful journey of heartaches, healing and love. I cannot wait to read about Seth’s brother Noah and hopefully Riley’s brothers in the future! What an amazing series!!!

ENAMORED is a nice continuation of THE ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES series, and I’m looking forward to reading more about the Sinclair family and their loves. The siblings had a rough upbringing and don’t think they know how to love someone other than family, but they’ve been proven wrong each time. When they fall, they fall hard! This is Seth and Riley’s story, and it is scorching hot!

Seth is all work and no play but likes to take breaks and get out of his office. His go-to place is the Coffee Shack. He meets his nemesis, Riley, there, and she actually comes to his rescue. It’s Riley’s place to pick up her chai mocha lattes, and when they meet there a second time, things get pretty heated.

Riley and Seth are adversaries over a development he wants to build on the beach, which happens to be a nesting place for an endangered species. The story has dark undertones due to their angst-ridden childhoods, but there is still a playfulness and a love of family that shines through.

Riley is her own woman, fighting her demons with therapy, and has the loving support of her three brothers whom she doesn’t see often enough. She’s turned her back on the moneyed world she grew up in, for good reason.

As we get to know the characters of Seth and Riley little by little, we realize how much they hide from others. They are good for each other as they open themselves up to friendship and more. The sibling banter and interaction for both characters really makes the story shine. The story wraps up nicely, though a few loose ends could possibly lead us to the next books.

I look forward to reading more of J.S. Scott’s books and have added some to my always growing TBR pile.

Excellent book. Problems we found in this world like child molested by parents, social pretenses, bigamy and bastard childrens.
Rayle and Seth found each other when they needed more. Both have childhood struggles but they are strong and fight for what they want. Together they complement each other and help the other heal the scars of life.
I received a ARC from Netgalley for a honest review. I enjoy reading this book and recommend it.

A charming romance book with relatable characters. Seth and Riley are easy yo fall in love with. The third book in this series. I didn't read the first two books, but I was able yo follow along with the characters.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a decent romance. Riley is an environmental lawyer attempting to protect exotic birds currently residing at the heroes property. Seth is intrigued by Riley's intelligence and beauty. He proposes that she pose as his fake girlfriend in exchange for the property. She agrees and their attraction grows. I wasn't crazy about either character. Riley comes off as insecure and too vulnerable when she's around Seth although she's supposed to be this kick ass lawyer and Seth comes on to her too fast and hard.
I would have liked to see more a slow burn romance that gradually grows from respect to all consuming love.

The 3rd book of the Accidental Billionaires series, “Enamored”, just like the other two and many of J S Scott books you will be engrossed from start to finish with a drama full read. This book is full of so much from sexy & passionate, emotional & sad, funny & serious, frustrating & instance. I loved the interaction between the two main characters it was outstanding in so many different ways had me glued to the words to the very end.

Seth Sinclair is a swoon-worthy alpha male that you will connect with straight away, he has not come from money but made his own way money and power. But he finds something that just maybe more important than his money and family... LOVE

Riley Montgomery is determined to get the beachfront property for a wildlife sanctuary but there is one man in her road Seth Sinclair. Her passion is helping the animals but by doing this will she let someone else help her to overcome the secrets she keeps from everyone around her?

As always J S Scott has given us a journey in her wonderful world that will stay with us long after the book has been finished and have us eagerly waiting for the next in this great series.

What another great book from J. S. Scott! I’ve read previous books from this author and really enjoyed them. I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was just as good as those. I enjoyed the story and the characters were very well written.

So good! JS Scott is such an amazing author and this book did not disappoint. I had such a hard time putting this book down and was finished way too early.

When Riley decides to save Seth from getting picked up b y girls in a coffee shop, she doesn't realize what she started. They are archenemies fighting over land, however the tension between them is also hot.
This was a great read, the story sucked me in and I did not want to put it down.

A love story full of hope but also filled with anguish and misery, “Enamored” is a Pandora’s box. Readers will love it yet hate some of its parts at the same time. A word of warning though, the book talks about child sexual abuse. So, if it is a trigger, please be aware.

The third book of the Accidental Billionaires series, “Enamored” follows Seth Sinclair, a former construction worked turned real estate mogul and developer and Riley Montgomery, Harvard law graduate and an environmental lawyer.

It was a chance meeting in a coffee shop. Seth, whose good looks would turn heads no matter what just became the target of social climbers who just wants his money. Usually, Seth just ignores them so he was surprised when a beautiful woman who could only be described as a bombshell helped him out by laying claim on him thus shooing all the other women away.

That incident could have been the best segue to ask her for a date, i.e., until they became aware of their identities that established themselves as mortal enemies.

After that incident, they continued to communicate with each other with more legalese than pick up lines. Yet, somehow, both Seth and Riley were able to exchange personal tidbits.

Then, the inevitable happened. Seth was willing to give up the piece of land that Riley wanted to turn into a bird sanctuary with one condition – Riley will be Seth’s date in formal function for one month.

That led to Seth and Riley spending more time together. Somewhere along the way, they started sharing personal histories and what they found out about each other surprised them both.

They knew they were falling in love. But, it is only a matter of time that the baggage they carry from their past blow up in their faces. So, the question becomes – will they trust each other enough with their hearts.

A beautiful read that is as much as optimistic as it is heartbreaking, “Enamored” will capture your attention from the first page to the last. You will fall in love with Seth and Riley. Their story is not a tearjerker, but it will definitely tug at your heartstrings.

I received an ARC of this book, but I was not able to read it before it was released because of my tight schedule. So, when it popped up at Audible on release day, I immediately downloaded it.

This is my first listen for Elizabeth Powers and she is very good. I like her. But, “Enamored” should have been a dual narration. It written with that in mind because the chapters for Riley and Seth were well defined.

Nothing against Powers; like what I said, she did very well as a narrator. But, I don’t understand why the producers decided to use just one narrator instead of two. It would have been a more enjoyable listen with male and female narrators.

Enamored is Rated M for Mature due to sexual content and child abuse discussions. Parental guidance I strongly advised.

I have to say, I listen to/ read a lot of JS Scott books and I can see a lot of repetition in books of all kinds with the same tropes and stories crossing into similarities. With this one, though, I feel like we got something a little different. I feel like these characters really compliment each other and Seth is Hella Hot in his sweet and adoring way.

It was a story that I could get lost in not only because the story line felt original but also because the characters were engaging.

So-
Hot not alpha male billionaire? CHECK
Sweet girl who he falls for hard? CHECK
Drama where you are literally screaming to move on with? NEGATIVE
SEXY TIMES? CHECK!

Also, Elizabeth Powers has the voice that is, literally, one I could listen to all day. I’m sure I probably have at some point.
