I must say I love this authors books I have read book 1 for this series and waited for the others to be out to binge read them (hate the wait lol), but then I get the amazing opportunity to be part of her review team, so my family ate take out for a few days while I binge read them all.

Best friends in high school, after a terrible misunderstanding Layla wants nothing to do with Owen. But finally the air is cleared and an amazing romance begins. Loved this story definitely recommend this book

Friends to enemies to friends to lovers with an alpha billionaire to boot!

The youngest Sinclair, Owen, has returned to Citrus beach and has purchased the clinic where his high school best friend, Layla, is working as a nurse practitioner. They were best of friends until right before they left for college. Back then, they both felt deeper feelings for each other than friendship, but they were both too scared to say anything. Now that they're back in close quarters, they are forced to deal with those feelings that are resurfacing after all the years.

I absolutely loved watching them navigate their friendship, and feelings, as they continued to adjust to life as adults. Owen's brothers play a part in helping him navigate what to do with how he feels towards Layla and I loved catching up with them!

Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

Owen and Layla, what can I say about them? There was a lot of history and miscommunication, but they had serious chemistry. When they started working together I really like how their relationship developed. The friends to enemies to lovers was really well done. J.S. Scott wrote a story that you will not want to put down.

J.S. Scott - Endeared (The Accidental Billionaires - Book 5)

Here we are at the bittersweet moment. First, Owen finally gets his story told, and, second, it’s the end of the series. With all of the previous Sinclair books, the five (5) Accidental Billionaires leave you wanting more. That is what makes an author great and worthy of our time and money.

Endeared starts off with Owen Sinclair finally finishing medical school and his residency and is now back in Citrus Beach, CA. The storyline takes us on a trip with three (3) best friends from high school, Owen, Andie (who is now married to Owen’s brother Noah, (book 4 ENCHANTED), and Layla. Now Layla’s two best friends were going off to Boston for college, and Layla would have to stay home and go to a college closer to home.

In their Senior year, they both begin to have feelings for each other but, being teenagers, neither Owen nor Layla would admit it to each other. Just weeks before graduation, Layla stopped talking to Owen. Layla felt that Owen betrayed her all those years ago, and she is not letting it go.

Over ten (10) years later, Owen is back, and it looks like fate has other ideas because after the local physician retired, Owen purchased the practice. Yes, you guessed it, Layla is the nurse practitioner for the physician office. Since Layla could not avoid Owen at the office, she sure would not have to be around him on her own time, but that is harder to do than she thought.

Find out if these two can get their HEA because Layla is determined not to let Owen consume her.

I received this ARC for an honest review.

ENDEARED is the fifth and final book in THE ACCIDENTAL BILLIONAIRES series. I love how this series connects with others the author has written and hope we meet up with the Sinclair family again and again. I somehow missed the previous book, ENCHANTED, and do plan to rectify that.

The book begins with the prologue, set over ten years ago, and really sets the stage of what is to come. It was great to be back in Citrus Beach, California and meeting up with the various characters we’ve met before. I was drawn in from the first page to the last and got up to speed quickly.

This is Owen and Layla’s story, and it didn’t disappoint. The story is told in alternating chapters by Owen or Layla, and their voices really shine through. There are a few different storylines all leading to Owen and Layla finally becoming a couple.

ENDEARING is filled with heartwarming moments, angst, love, and family. The brothers are always there for each other and their wives and girlfriends. The addition of the English bulldog that Layla falls in love with when volunteering at the animal shelter is a great touch of warmth as well. The story flows well, and the epilogue wraps up everything. It takes place eight months after the story ends. A wonderful read that stays with you long after it’s over.

This is the fifth and final book in The Accidental Billionaires series by J.S. Scott. This time its the turn of Owen Sinclair, the youngest of the West Coast Sinclair's. The story doesn't disappoint and is between Owen and Layla, who were childhood best friends, however Layla stopped talking to Owen over a misunderstanding. The book doesn't fail to impress and the two leads are great together. Sad that the series is now over and hoping we get some mention of them in future different series. Five stars.

J.S. Scott continues her Accidental Billionaires series with the youngest Sinclair, Owen.  Owen has finished his residency and has opened a practice and has hired the friend, Layla for whom he always had a torch burning but had lost touch with.  Layla retreated from her friends after high school and they had moved to the other side of the country.  She battled her demons alone and is not sure how to let someone in now.

Owen and Layla's romance is sweet and sexy by turns. Owen is the man most women would swoon over.  Smart, handsome, sensitive, funny, and successful. Layla is the friend you love to have. Strong, loyal, smart.  The two together are the perfect couple once they get over the issues that keep them apart. Scott's deft ability to mix heat with swoon-worthy moments with laughter and deep moments is on full display in Endeared.

If you love J.S. Scott this is one for the one-click finger.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we get Layla Caine and Owen Sinclair's story. 10 years earlier Layla wanted anything to be able to tell her best friend she wanted more for them than just friendship. With Owen having a scholarship to medical school she didn't want to put that type of pressure on him. That night when she got home though things changed and she was angry at him. There was a part of her that still wanted him but the other part was so hurt by what she thought he had done she wanted nothing to do with him. There is a couple of problems though Now they both work in the same medical facility and the other well their best friend Andie they both would do anything for her. Owen doesn't know what happened all those years ago but he misses Layla. The more he is around her at the clinic the more he would like to know what happened all those years ago to drive them apart. He not only wants his friend back but he wants more. What happens when what really comes out about that night will it be the beginning of a HEA or will it be the end of them forever?

This is an amazing conclusion to the Sinclair siblings. This author will have you looking at relationships in a new way. You will fall in love with the way she has you looking at life and this book is no different. There are so many things I want to tell you about this story. However I don't want to ruin it for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. You won't want to let go of these two even when you read those two words the end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

A bittersweet conclusion…

I am no way near ready to let go of the Accidental Billionaires! Orphaned children/teens had a solid connection and looked after each other. That didn’t stop when they were suddenly wealthier than they could ever have imagined. Each sibling found true love until Owen. His and Layla’s story was a warm, bright and emotional conclusion to the series...

Friends, best of friends, until suddenly they weren’t. That mystery was soon solved when, a decade later, Owen came home and demanded answers. The chemistry that both had denied as teenagers was suddenly one piece of the puzzle they had to solve. These characters had hidden depths of pain and loneliness that, once revealed, were going to be relegated to the past. The love they had for each other spilled out in so many ways, each one a hint of the feelings they had. Their courtship was full of laughter and adventure as well as cleansing tears.

This story was an ending but the epilogue soothed as it showed the happiness all the siblings and their extended family now had. Once again, a story that made me smile and a series that brimmed with warmth and romance…

Owen is back home after finishing medical school with his own medical practice. One of his high school BFF's, Layla is working for him, Layla has detached herself from his life and doesn't want to have anything to do with him. He's determined to find out why.

I love Owen and Layla. They are each other's person's. Together they are just better people. This is a warm wonderful read.

So sad to see the last of the Sinclair clan but oh what a joy it was to read Owen and Layla’s angst filled and passionate story. I adore the writing style of JS Scott and I love how ever evolving her stories are becoming and I’m here for it ! I can’t wait the new installment !!

I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.

I have mixed emotions with this book. I am so happy to finally get Owen’s story, but so sad because it brings an end to the Accidental Billionaires series. Endeared is book 5 in the Accidental Billionaires series. It tells the story of Owen Sinclair, the youngest of the Sinclair clan, and Layla, who was once Owen’s best friend. Owen, Andie (from Enchanted, Accidental Billionaires, book 4) and Layla were friends from school. Owen had feelings for Layla in high school, but did not say anything because he was afraid to lose her friendship, and as soon as he graduated he was leaving for medical school. Layla also had a crush on Owen, but never said anything because she did not want to lose his friendship. Layla has a horrible situation at home, and never shared it with anyone. As high school is ending there are events that happen to Layla, which ruins everything she had planned for herself after high school, and she fully blames Owen for these events. Owen has been away for years attending medical school and focusing on getting through his residency and has not really seen his family. He has tried to reach out to Layla, but has never heard from her. Ten years later and Owen is now a doctor and is returning home to Citrus Beach and will be taking over the clinic there, and much to his surprise, his high school friend Layla is the nurse practitioner there. He never really focused on his billionaire status; as he was too busy becoming a doctor. Now back home and Owen feels a disconnect with his family, does not know how to handle being a billionaire, and he really wants to find out why Layla hates him so much. That is all I am saying, so I do not spoil it for anyone. Endeared is everything I hoped for and more. The character development is perfect. You will be experiencing a lot of emotions with Owen and Layla’s story. J. S. Scott is an amazing author, and you can always count on drama, plans being hatched, groveling, hot steamy scenes, did I mention groveling, and a wonderful ending. I am a huge fan of J. S. Scott. I have read all of her books, and not one of them has left me disappointed. I highly recommend Endeared. A definite must read! You will not be disappointed. Thank you J. S. Scott for another amazing series. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for us next.

To say Layla's less than thrilled with her new boss is an understatement. She has never forgiven Owen for betraying her back in high school, so having to report to him now is unthinkable. Except Owen seems not to know why she hates him. Will he ever get out of her what he supposedly did? And one he does, will he tell her how he really feels about her? Has felt about her for years?

J.S. Scott writes the best billionaire romances. There's heat, there's a bit of drama, and there's always love, along with fabulous characters and chemistry for days. I can never get enough of her writing, since the very first book of hers I ever read - The Billionaire's Obsession~Simon, and it's stories like Endeared that keep her at the top of my favorite billionaire romance shelf.

Endeared by J .S. Scott is book 5 in The Accidental Billionaires Series. This is the story of Layla Caine and Owen Sinclair. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment of this one. But, I do feel you can make it a standalone book if you wish to do so...but its a great series. This book gives us Owen's story who is a Doctor but he and his siblings didn't start out with much. The one best friend Owen had was Layla and they were very close. But something happened that pull them apart. Now in their present day Owen is back and he is wanting a second chance with Layla but she has her secrets and isn't so ready to move forward with him...yet. I am such a fan of this author. I love how she writes and I feel that I am there watching the story unfold instead just being a book I am reading. I would recommend this book, series and her writing. Loved it.

First and most importantly...another swoon worthy Sinclair. ♥️Owen♥️ What an amazing, compassionate man he is. But holy mother let the alpha caveman out and it’s game on. My heart ached for Layla but she deserved Owen. They both needed to breathe after all they went through.
I love this family on both coasts. Thank you Jan for another memorable story.

This is the last book in the series and I have been waiting patiently to read this story! This book can be read as a stand-alone. Owen Sinclair and Layla Caine have been friends for a long time. When they were seniors in high school, their feelings became more of a romantic interest but they did not act upon those feelings. Closer to graduation, Layla misinterpreted something she thought was Owen’s fault. This Incident caused Layla to part ways with Owen and their friendship. Ten years later, Layla is a nurse practitioner and works at the office that Owen ( who is now a doctor) just purchased from her former mentor/doctor (who recently retired). Tension way high in the beginning but they finally resolved the issue of the miscommunication all those years ago. Now they face the sexual attraction and chemistry that has been brewing all those years. Their love scenes are explosive! Now they have to come to the reality of making their feelings last forever! Another amazing book and great ending to this series!

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from publisher and am voluntarily reviewing it. Dr. Owen Sinclair and Layla Caine had been friends throughout high school and something changed right before graduation. Layla started avoiding Owen and Owen had no idea why. Avoidance was no problem after high school. Owen and Andie moved to Boston and Layla stayed in Citrus Beach and became a nurse. Now Owen is back and has bought the medical practice that Layla works at, avoidance is not an option anymore.

At a reception to celebrate Andie and Noah's marriage, Owen is finally able to get Layla alone to discuss what they find was a huge misunderstanding. After noticing Layla drawing the attention on Jax Montgomery, Riley's brother, Owen devises a plan that will bring him and Layla closer than ever. As the couple gets closer, Jax makes his way to Layla and Owen is not happy. Will this be the end of this HEA?!?!?!

Please read this last story of the Accidental Billionaires series. You won't regret it. It is everything that readers look for from this author. You will not be disappointed.

If you are a fan of second chance love stories, then this book is for you. JS Scott writes some of the hottest and best second chance romance books out there. The characters are realistic and situations are just as real.
