Another great contemporary rom-com from Julia London. I absolutely love the Princes of Texas! Nick and Charlotte were adorable together. Glad they made peace with each other and work out what they needed from each other. Now I can't wait to hear about the half brother and hope he gets to have a relationship with his siblings.

Billionaire in Boots was a highly anticipated story and it lived up to its expectations. Nick Prince, is the oldest of the Prince siblings, and a lot of responsibility fell on his shoulders after his father’s death. He now runs the ranch and is doing what he has to do instead of what he wants to do; fly planes. The one bright side out of all of this is working with Charlotte. She antagonizes, teases, gets on his last nerve at times, and is a woman who is attractive and a wonderful lover. Their one night together was unforgettable but knows that she needs someone else to give her what she wants. He just doesn’t realize that he might be what she needs.

Charlotte made this story fun with her witty comments, her focus, her antics and a strong personality. She wants a family and sets a plan in motion to get what she wants. She finds herself comparing her dates to Nick because he’s a standard that she wants in a man. Finding herself in a sexual fling with Nick without a label on it was nice, but too good to be true. Nick tends to overthink things and shattered her heart once again. Charlotte tended to her own recovery but knew Nick was the only one for her. Nick needed time and distance away to get him to realize what was missing from his life. Charlotte didn’t make it easy for him and he had to work hard to show her he was all in for her.

Julia London has written a pleasant romance for two very likable individuals. Her writing was inviting and the story was captivating. She developed insightful and flawed characters with redeeming qualities that you wanted to love and cheer for. I wanted to keep reading it long into the night to find out how Nick and Charlotte were going to find their happy ending. It wasn’t an easy road because Nick had to find his way out of ranching before he can come back to Charlotte. An added bonus in the story was how both their families added their two cents to the story. Overall, I loved it. A romance story that is full of heart and charm.

His father's death has trapped Nick into running Saddlebush Land and Cattle Company. He's angry that he is expected to give up his dream of flying. He wants to travel and to escape his family's expectations. His Family is over the top. They think Nick is a grump and they tell him he's a loner. They don't appreciate his strength. I was impressed that he adopts abandoned and abused animals. He cares for them. I liked his flirty interaction with Charlotte Bailey. Their emails made me laugh. It hide the powerful attraction between these two. I hoped they would develop a lasting relationship. However, I was worried that they wanted different lifestyles. Charlotte wants a husband and babies, but Nick wants to fly and see the world. He doesn't want any relationship responsibilities. I was upset when Nick broke up with Lottie. I hated how heartbroken she was. I wasn't sure that Nick would ever come to his senses. Julia London kept me entertained. Don't get me started on the baseball rivalry. I couldn't put down Billionaire in Boots. I'm enjoying the Princes of Texas novels. It will be hard to wait for the next book which comes out in 2021. 
I received a copy of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. My comments are my honest opinion.

The mysterious Nick Prince finally makes his long awaited appearance! Finally! Book one mentioned him very little and for a moment I feared something would happen to him. He was always mentioned being too busy, somewhat unhappy with his life and would miss events with his family. But author Julia London did not leave fans waiting anymore and finally let readers look into Nick’s mysterious and lonely life in The Billionaire in Boots.

We learn that Nick has been dedicating his new life to fixing the damage left behind by his father’s sudden death and gambling problems. Nowadays, he spends most of his time at the office or on a horse attending to the cattle and helping around the ranch. He no longer has time to fly or go out with friends. His father’s debt keeps piling up resulting in more troublesome to fix than expected. Nick can’t seem to get a break. 

Then comes in Charlotte. Nick didn’t expect to work so close with her and have to rely on her knowledge of the office. It all seems like business, but both of them can’t deny that their relationship is more than that of a boss and employee. Too bad Charlotte is looking for a serious relationship, while Nick is looking for a way out of his family. Charlotte has been mentioned in previous books, but her personality and character hadn’t been shown well enough to map her out. Now, in her own story, we learn that she is ready to find someone, get married and start having babies. Her time is running out and the right person is taking their time. She has her goals and dreams set, and won’t wait for anyone anymore. I do have to say that exploring the interactions and chemistry between these two was really fun.

Previous characters and new ones were mentioned, such as Hallie and her newborn baby, Luca and Ella, and my all time favorite, grandma! She’s still going to Walmart and being her usual Prince grandmother. Nick’s mom is also amazing in her way. She is still mourning the loss of her husband, but does not lose her cool. I can’t wait to see her in action in the next book. I have a feeling she will be a big part of it. 

“For God’s sake, if you can hold a beer bottle, you can hold a baby. And we all know you can hold a beer bottle.”

The Prince siblings were struggling before their father died. After their father died, they not only struggled with his loss, but they also dealt with the pressure and emotions they had been harboring since they were children. One by one, they matured, changed their goals in life and accepted the death of their father in their own way. Now, it is time for Delia Prince’s story to begin. 

*OBS would like to thank the publisher for supplying a free copy of this title in exchange for an honest review*

Charlotte and Nick’s book was fantastic. It’s everything that you would expect in a Julia London book.  Great story, well written characters, humor, and romance all in one fabulous book.  We got to check in with several characters from the other books in the series.  As always, Julia London is one of my go to authors and she never disappoints.  Although you can read it as a stand alone book, this has been a great series that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.

Billionaire in Boots is the third contemporary romance in this series from Julia London. The Prince family suffers a huge blow when the patriarch dies and the family realizes that the family fortune is almost gone. Lifestyles have to change, and Nick steps up to run the family business he never wanted. Miserable and tied by family loyalty he and Charlotte who what his fathers administrative assistant dance around the obvious chemistry between them "for the good of the company". But both are miserable. This is a great tale of family loyalty, love, and doing what you need for your own life and happiness and how they can all be brought together. Julia London never writes a bad story, loved this one too.

Was I first drawn to this book because of that dog on the cover? 100%! And it was a good decision - the story in the pages lived up to the cover. And there was not one but two dogs - a very good dog and a very bad dog and I loved them both.

There is also a romance with a couple of my favorite things - a grumpy hero and some great banter. Nick is a vegetarian cattle rancher who desperately wants to be a pilot. He put those plans on hold to run the ranch when his father passed away. Charlotte is the office manager for the ranch and keeps everything running smoothly with her color coded filing system.

I really enjoyed this read. While it’s the third in the series, it’s the first one I read but I’m excited to go back and read the others too! There was a little about the resolution at the end that I didn’t love - but glad to let it slide because the rest was definitely worth it.

Thank you Berkley and Netgalley for the advance reading copy!

Julia London is the queen of penning family-focused tales that are funny and endearing with a little bit of angst at the same time.  Patriarch Charlie Prince died unexpectedly leaving his family to pick up the pieces that his gambling debts, affairs, and bad decisions left behind.  Charlie supported Nick’s plans to leave town and enroll in flight school, but his death left the family reeling and his oldest son no choice in running the ranch. He is a cowboy who loves the ranch but doesn’t want to run the ranch. He doesn’t even eat meat!!! 

Charlotte Bailey  worked in the Prince headquarters for years and could run the ranch better than anyone. She is a woman who knows what she wants.  And she wants the whole enchilada – house, white picket fence, children, and a husband who loves her so much. In cowboy terms she wanted a man who would ride all night just to get to her. 

This is the story I’ve been waiting for since I read the first book in this series. It’s easy to say Nick just has a chip on his over privileged shoulders but, as each layer of his personality was peeled away, I fell so much in love with his character and his dreams.  And, Charlotte - I loved how she clearly knew what she wanted and needed.

This story hit a home run with community, zany family, and a few farm misfits as the backdrop. It alternately made me laugh and pulled at my heart strings. I loved it!

I think every new book in Julia London’s Princes of Texas is my favorite, and BILLIONAIRE IN BOOTS has taken that place in my heart. I love Nick and Charlotte, both as individuals and as a couple. Nick is the eldest of the Prince children and has always felt like he’s a square peg trying to fit into a round hole when it comes to his family. After all, how many cattle ranchers are vegetarians? Plus, all he’s ever wanted to do is fly. When his father died leaving the family business in a mess, Nick is the one that everyone expects to fix things, so he puts aside his dreams and becomes a grumpy rancher. Charlotte knows the Prince business inside and out, and it’s her job to help Nick…and forget their one night together before his father died. All she wants is a family of her own, and time is running out to find it. Watching Nick and Charlotte’s relationship is so much fun, especially as they evolve from employee and boss, to friends, to something more. Nick feels the most at ease with Charlotte, but knows they are on different paths. Can they find their way to each other and their dreams?
Not only are Nick and Charlotte characters to love, we return to the Prince family that is full of characters that will keep you giggling at their antics. Added to that, we have Charlotte’s family that adds another level of fun, not to mention an expanding cast of animal characters.  There is so much more I want to say, but you should discover it yourself.
This is book three in the series, but it can be read as a stand-alone, though I recommend all three. There is one more Prince, so I can’t wait to see what London does with Tanner.
Thank you to NetGalley for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.

Julia London does it again. The Billionaire in Boots lives up to the bar set be the previous installments of the Prince sibilants. Though Charlotte may be my favorite character based on sass alone. 
Nick and Charolette appear to many to get along as well of oil and water. But there is no denying a spark of chemistry that Nick cannot stop. The interchange between Nick and Charlotte was thoroughly enjoyable; they each know how to push each other’s buttons yet know the deep truths the other hold close. This was an amazing read and cannot wait to reread in preparation for the next Prince book. Highly recommended if you enjoy a good laugh, shedding a tear or two, and most of all a happily ever after.

Princes of Texas Book Three.

Nick Prince has wanted to be a pilot since he was eight, but his dreams were ruined when his father left the running of the family ranch to Nick in his will. Now, Nick is stuck on the ranch for the foreseeable future. Charlotte Bailey has been running the ranch with Charlie for years and knows everything about the day-to-day business. As the office manager, she is the real power behind the ranch. Now that Nick is in charge, the two have to work together every day. This is a problem, seeing as they have a rather complicated past. Neither can get over the one night they spent together, but do they really want to?

If you've been waiting to see sparks fly between "Born with a Broken Heart" Nick and "All Business" Charlotte, this is the book for you!

Yet again, Julia London has pulled me into another story. Her characters feel so honest and real, and have an edge of fun and wit that kept me snickering. I loved escaping to the wilds of Texas with these two (and their pups). This book was a joy to read and a lovely vacation from a busy life.

I had a great time reading this book! From the first page you know that the banter between Nick and Charlotte would make this a fun read. After Nick's father's death Nick's dreams of becoming a commercial pilot fly out the window, he had a ranch to run, debts to make right and a family that needed him. Charlotte grew up with Nick, she worked for his father after graduating college, since she began working under Nick their chemistry has been thick, especially after a hot Christmas night together. But Nick and Charlotte are at two different points in their life, he wants to be out seeing the world and she want to settle down and start a family, can they get on the same plane? This book is full of great witty banter, quirky characters-family at that-, a vegetarian cattle rancher , bad app dates and sexual tension, what a great read!

What can I say about the final book in the trilogy? Lots but I will try to be brief. LOL! I’ve read all the books and this one has to be my favorite. It was close because I love Hallie to death. Plus, their mother and grandmother are such a hoot.
What endeared me to this book so much was Nick and Charlotte. Both are very likeable characters and people that I cared about throughout the book. Nick is a grump, but he has every right to be a grump. Being a rancher was never his life plan and the resentment that he still held on from his father and in some ways his mother, are relatable. I especially loved the scene with his mother regarding him being her son. It was heartfelt and poignant. At that moment, I finally connected with her and generally felt a tug on the heart. There might have been a tear or two.
Charlotte is hilarious but she in her own right is royalty in town. Just not with the money. The emails back and forth between them are downright hilarious but also you get a feel for their chemistry and the true friendship developing between them. They both need each other but are too afraid to admit it to themselves, much less each other. Also, Charlotte doesn’t put up with Nick and his grumpiness. She gives him space when needed but can also feel the coldness when he’s gone.
Their chemistry is off the charts, but Ms. London takes her time with them. Nothing is rushed, and the fluidity of the story takes charge. I can only imagine Ms. London writing this book and both characters shouting at her at times. They had a lot to say and she let them say it. Plus, Hallie had a bunch to say, too in the book. She really loved her brother and it shows here. Nothing was going to shut her up except for the bathtub at Nick’s.
I’m sad to see the series end. This is one of my all-time favorites from any author. Ms. London knows how to write a funny, heartfelt, poignant and relatable story with likeable characters.
I miss Charlotte’s dog. He is a scene stealer for sure.

3.75 Hearts This is the third in the series but I have not read the other two and it was perfectly fine. It can be a stand alone.

This is a sweet cowboy romance, yes a bit typical but still \sweet all the same. I adored the email exchanges. They are so funny and sarcastic that I actually caught myself snickering. I also liked that Charlotte wasn’t a wallflower. She told Nick exactly how it was and while the sparks flew Charlotte was not a damsel in distress. 

Nick is such a cowboy. Yeah he wants to be a pilot but ranching is in his blood. 

Great beach read.

This is book 3 in the Princes of Texas series and I would absolutely read the previous books before reading this or you probably won't understand what is going on in it as those books lead up to this one. In this one we get Nick and Charlotte's story. Nick is the oldest and has always been geared up to take over the family business. Even though it has never been his dream, but now he is left to clean up the mess that is left behind after his father passes away. Charlotte can't believe that Nick is back to run the ranch. And as the office manager, she now has to help him to do so. But such close proximity between the two of them has them both feeling things that they don't believe that they should be.But can plans and dreams change or is it the road to heartache?

I really liked this one! Charlotte is this down to earth woman who isn't afraid to call things as she see's them. And her little bit of snark at times just completely cracked me up! Nick comes across as this man who has the weight of the world on his shoulders. And in some ways, he does. But he is also has his own insecurities to deal with and what he thinks of as the loss of his dreams. But when he figures out what he truly wants-I loved him then! He stepped up and fought for the people he loves along with his own wants and dreams. This book definitely kept me reading!

I think Nick is now my favorite Prince and his story with Charlotte is my favorite happily ever after. The book is well-written and flowed like an evening with friends. I was seriously caught up with all the fun banter between Nick and Charlotte and loved Charlotte's crazy family. Nice slow and steady build up to what ended up being a truly great happily ever after.

Julia London brings the perfect amount of sweet and adds a good dash of sexy to The Billionaire in Boots.

When his father dies, Nick Prince must come home to run the family’s empire leaving his dreams of being a pilot behind. He will do his duty to his family, but he’s got one foot out the door, and he is gone as soon as possible.

Charlotte Bailey is the office manager for Prince empire, so when Nick comes home, she can’t help but be around for his broody and discontented ways. But there is a chemistry that just won’t be denied. When Nick wants to break the sexual tension brewing between them, Charlotte tells it like it is… She has her priorities and she isn’t going to settle for anything less. I have to admit, I think I loved that most about Charlotte’s character.

Hot, sweet and spicy makes for some great Chinese food and an amazing contemporary romance. The chemistry is blazing, the characters, especially Charlotte, and plot is sweet, and boy can they bring the spicy with their snark and humor. The Billionaire in Boots is the perfect contemporary romance all around.

I received this ARC copy of The Billionaire in Boots from Berkley - Penguin Publishing Group. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Nick and Charlotte’s story is an emotional and moving tale in The Billionaire in Boots by Julia London, book three in The Princes of Texas series. Nick is the eldest Prince children whose wings were clipped with the death of their father. Unlike the twins who had the freedom to do what they wanted, Nick was forced to take over the management and operation of the ranch and clean up all the messes his father left behind. All Nick ever wanted to do was become a pilot and travel. As office manager Charlotte knows it’s her responsibility to help Nick but he’s been grumpy, sad, and brooding and she just wants to make him feel good. Nick knows that Charlotte is off-limits and Charlotte knows that Nick is not long-term material as he’s trying to leave but when these two work together the office steams up from the heat and electricity between them. I love the way Charlotte uses humor to make the situation easier between them. Her humor is hysterical and she definitely makes Nick laugh, even if she’s making him crazy. Nick is torn between wanting to stay to be with Charlotte and going to flight school. Knowing this responsible man, he will figure out a way to make it work; especially since these two belong together.

Ms. London wrote a wonderful, emotional, humorous story that is not to be missed. She provided a tale rich with sexual chemistry, amusing banter, lots of laughs, and charming characters giving Nick and Charlotte that chance at love, family and a future together.  I highly recommend The Billionaire in Boots to other readers and look forward to reading the next book in this series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

Nick and Charlotte are have become one of my favorite couples after reading this book.
Charlotte runs the office and business that Nick owns after he inherited it when his father passed away but doesn't want. He would rather be flying.
Charlotte wants to have a family and is searching for the right guy. Unfortunately, her search is filled with men who aren't what they seem online.  Her heart keeps hoping on Nick. 
The book had me laughing at time as Charlotte dealt with Nick, both as a boss and friend.  And the secondary characters of Nick's mom, Cordelia, and Nick's grandmother, Dolly, brought added life to the book.
Nick and Charlotte help each other find exactly what they need and had been searching for.  Although not without a little heartbreak along the way.
I
