This continuation of the Dalton Brothers series, which can be read as a stand alone, was so good. This audiobook was just as captivating and well done as the audiobook for The Lawyer was. This story brings together tropes of forbidden romance, age gap, and second chances so well. I never wanted to stop listening to this story. A spring break vacation for Jo quickly becomes so much more when she sees Jenner at a bar, and before long a steamy love affair is in full swing. But they are two very different people, a college student from Miami on a vacation and a billionaire playboy who does ever think he will settle down. Is it possible for their romance to become so much more than a hot fling, or is that all it is meant to be?

Not only does this story revolve around the romance between Jo and Jenner, but there is also a very interesting plot weaved along with it that kept me intrigued through the entire story. Thank you so much NetGalley for an arc of this audiobook.

OH MY GOODNESS: This one was deliciously hot. Marni Mann did it again. Jenner and Jo are passion and sin.

The story is all the sexier for their age gap. Fun-filled, angsty, and oh so consumable. I was engrossed as I devoured this one. It was a forbidden romance with unexpected twists and turns. It was a steamy romance with an intriguing plot.

Stop reading this review and go ahead and jump right in; you will not be disappointed.

XOXO Lottie.

My first Marni Mann book and I was hooked.

Wow what a sexy, erotic, hot story.
And beside you find age gap, a sexy billionaire and an instant attraction.

Definitely a book I recommend.

I was listening to the audiobook and the narrators did a great job.

4.75 stars! This was the perfect steamy escape with minimal drama. While this is the second book in the series, I had no problems reading it out of order, but will definitely be going back to read the first one as well.This was a new-to-me author, of which I'm enthralled and adding more to my Kindle asap!

Book: The Billionaire By Marni Mann
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️(.5)

Jenner and Jos romance is steamy and explosive throughout the entire novel. From their first meeting till the end you can feel the chemistry and how well they would fit together.

Jo and Jenner meet in Vegas and are instantly attracted to each other but they both are only there for a couple days and then will be returning to their normal lives and they both are not sure if they want to continue this vacation fling when they return.

The book is fast paced but has the drama and chemistry most people are looking for and I would highly recommend this book to others who interested in a somewhat forbidden and steamy romance.

Thank you to the author and NetGalley for providing me with an arc of the book for an honest review.

I read and enjoyed The Lawyer, so was looking forward to this book giving us Jenner & Jo's story.

Age gap (although not huge, definitely different seasons of life), long distance, family drama, and steam. It's all here, and I was here for it. I liked the mix of all the things!

Dual perspective, which I love as I like hearing the thoughts of both the main characters.

At times I felt Jo was immature and some of the things out of her mouth were cringe worthy, but she is very young. I enjoyed their banter. And the banter between the brothers might be my favorite part of this series so far! And Jo's dad was an interesting character.

I enjoyed the narration as well. Looking forward to the next brother's story!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for providing me with a ARC of the audio of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Joanna (Jo) is a good little college girl… until she meets billionaire lawyer, Jenner. One night in Vegas quickly turns into them spending the rest of their trips ‘hooking up’. They leave Vegas thinking that’s the end of it. But fate has other ideas.

I cannot fully express how much I loved this audiobook! Marni Mann gives us a great storyline with interesting, fun, and relatable characters. Jo and Jenner’s chemistry is instant and off the charts hot. To say this is a steamy listen would be an understatement. The dirty talk and smeggsy scenes were explosive! Jenner’s dirty talk had me blushing at my desk. The things that man says and does…gahdayum! I know he’s fictional and this isn’t Hunger Games, but I volunteer as tribute.

Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige…. At this point, do I really need to talk them up? Like, hello?!! It’s Kelsey and Tim! You either love their narration or you’re wrong. Kelsey and Tim narrating all the smeggsy in this story made those moments even more intense. I kept lowering the a/c in my office; I was sweating! I’m pretty sure my earbuds caught fire at one point. If you don’t buy this audiobook right now you are losing at life.

Thank you to Valentine PR and NetGalley for gifting me this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I did not read the first book in this series, and I don’t feel like I was confused at all! I also didn’t realize how salacious this was going to be. Glad I always listened to it alone haha! I thought the smut was a little much at the beginning because I enjoy a good story as well. Once the characters had more of a story, I loved it though. I was rooting for these two!

Honestly this ending was exactly what I imagined, I knew right off the bat. But I am here for it. This was so good and I truly loved it. It was very well written., the spicy scenes are out of this world, the level of heat this book gives out, like wow. I’ve never seen anything like it and I am impressed with how much I loved it. It was so posh and glamorous in some parts yet also shows the connection these two truly have for one another. I am so glad I read this I had seen the cover many times on Instagram and I thought this is one book I would love to read. It was that good. Also the cover is stunning I’m a sucker for a good cover.

3.5🌟

*audiobook was good. It took some time getting used to the narrators, they weren’t my favorite. Some of the phrasing & the tones they used were just a bit weird, especially when they would read the other characters parts in awkward voices. I was able to finish listening to it so it wasn’t too off putting but if you’re picky about narrators, download a sample first!


Jenner & Jo were a pretty enjoyable couple. I had a good amount of laughs, the spice was AMAZING & they really fit nicely together. Jenner is your typical super successful billionaire lawyer who doesn’t do relationships or commitment of any kind & sleeps with anything in a skirt. Until of course he meets Jo. Jo is a younger super outgoing woman who is just trying to decide where she wants to land after graduating college. When Jo & Jenner meet on a vacay in Vegas sparks fly for the both of them & they realize they want more time then their vacation fling gave them.

Super quick easy read. I really enjoyed the dynamic of Jenner’s brothers as well, I do want to read their books. This did have a handful of cheesy moments or actions the characters did that I was just like…. WHY? it got a little annoying, which is why for me this was a 3.5 star.

I do still recommend this series & this book. The writing is good, I’m actually super excited for Ford’s book which is coming next!

4.5 Star review of The Billionaire (The Dalton Brothers #2) by Marni Mann

Book two in Marni Mann’s latest series and is Jenner Dalton and Joanna Spade’s story. I’m not a huge fan of age gap romance but having read the first book in the series, decided to give this one a try and I am glad that I did.

Jenner is a workaholic and is known as a player. Meeting Joanna in Vegas he is shocked to be attracted to a woman who is younger than him, but the chemistry between them is intense and sizzles between them and is impossible to ignore.

The narration by Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro really brought the story to life for me and them were spot on for the characters in my opinion. The Billionaire is a fast paced, angsty, at times emotional story that will draw you in and quickly have you hooked.

Outstanding Story & Narration 🎧📚🎧 A🔥Steamy🔥Delight!

The Billionaire
By: Marni Mann
Narrated by: Kelsey Navarro, Tim Paige

This is a fabulous, age gap, second chance romance, the story is captivating from start to end and the chemistry between the characters is off the charts sizzling hot. Marni Mann is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style, her storylines are interesting and original and her characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with but the best is the complexity of those characters, the building of their relationship and getting them into a good place only to blow your mind with a twist you never saw coming. I adored both lead characters, Jenner and Joanna, the two meet while partying in Vegas and there is an instant connection and wind up spending most of their time together while there. Jenner, a successful business lawyer, is a player and self-proclaimed bachelor, a “love them and leave them” type of guy, he is not looking for any relationship but enjoys spending his time with Jo and just tells himself it will end when the vacation is over and Jo returns to college in Miami and he back to work in L.A. Except he keeps in touch with Jo and even convinces himself to see her again and Jo is all for it. She is ready to graduate and has applied for several jobs and was ecstatic to find out she landed her dream job, she and her friend move to L.A. to start their new careers.But can she have the man and the career? I loved how everything played out in this book, it is a brilliantly plotted story with perfect balance of drama, low angst, a surprising twist, heartfelt emotions, and a steamy romance. Marni Mann, thank you for another amazing and wonderfully entertaining story.

🎧📚🎧 And for the amazing narration, Marni Mann could not have cast a better team to bring her characters and story to life, Kelsey Navarro and Tim Paige are mega talented narrators and versatile voice artists. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that was a perfect fit to that character’s persona, sounding believable in every role they played and just as I pictured the characters to sound. Kelsey Navarro nailed it as Joanna, she grasped her every emotion and had you feeling single one. Tim Paige did the same for Jenner and was just as amazing in his role as Navarro was in hers. Both were great performing all the secondary roles too. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to and their narration enhances an already outstanding story to another level. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

Jenner and Jo have a chance encounter in Vegas and immediately hit it off. Jenner is a big shot lawyer and Jo is finishing her senior year of college. Their chemistry is off the charts and they end up spending the whole week together. They live on different coasts so don't expect their relationship to go anywhere, but they can't stop thinking about each other or finding ways to see each other again. Luckily, when you're a billionaire with a private plane and have legal clients across the country, you can easily find ways to meet up. What they thought would be a short fling turns into so much more, but an unexpected twist leaves Jenner questioning his feelings for Jo.

The Billionaire is part of a brother series, but can be read alone. It includes an age-gap, forbidden side to the love story. There's steamy scenes, drama, wit, and humor. It's a must-read in my book and I can't wait to dive into more from Marni Mann.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for giving me the opportunity to listen to this audiobook. Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro did a phenomenal job voicing Jenner and Jo.

The Billionaire
The Dalton Brothers #2
by Marni Mann
Narrated by Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro

Ah, these Dalton Brothers! Each one is impossible not to fall for. I loved Dominic, but there something that pulls me to Jenner. Slightly taboo with an age gap, and surprise near the end, we have Jo and Jenner who are quite the pair. Jenner is a lawyer, and Jo a student. Almost ready to graduate, she is looking to her future, but the attraction to this man, and their incredible chemistry has her wanting. It's not just her either. Knowing the age difference, he still can't keep away. It's not just for the passion, there is a real connection. But circumstances may just keep them apart! Will Jenner make the right choice? Does Jo tell him the truth? It's a twist you won't see coming! Not only does Marni Mann write a sizzling romance, she takes us on an adventure to Utah, with a beautiful visual imagery that has me wanting to go there! It's a great addition to this hot and spicy trilogy! Can't wait for number 3!

Tim Paige and Kelsey Navarro continue to narrate this series, and this team is a winner every time. Paige nails the part of Jenner. Arrogant yet lovable, he finds the balance to make it easy to love him. Navarro again never ceases to amaze me. She picks up the part of Jo, makes the confidence in her evident and adds that hint of vulnerability to make her feel realistic. Love this team and this series.

Phew someone bring me a frozen margarita so I can cool myself off. This book was HAWT. Jenner is my favorite Dalton brother so far. Loved him and Jo. They were great characters and the chemistry was leaping off the pages. Marni Mann's books are a freaking delight and I love them.

So, this was almost 2 separate stories.
The first half was very very physical. Detailed hot and heavy physical encounters. Take a shower after you read it physical.
The second half has the story. It is still physical like the first part, but you get more plot and nonphysical interaction. More insight into the 2 main characters and how they interact with each other and the rest of the world.

Holy hell! I am obsessed! Listening to this audiobook on my commutes to work had me squealing with excitement, cursing with frustration at the choices Jo and Jenner made at times and turning the volume lower during those sexy scenes, afraid my neighbors may hear Jenner’s dirty mouth through the windows of my car. -Insert blush- This man had me fanning myself and gasping in surprise.
I went into The Billionaire with very little information, except for a short blurb and the fact that I had heard only good things about the author. Flash to literally half a chapter in and I was hooked. From the very first meeting Jo and Jenner’s chemistry was off the charts! There sparks were flying, and I could feel that these two were meant for each other from the start. As the story progressed, I was so involved in how Jenner, the self-proclaimed bachelor, playboy, will never fall in love, FALL SO FREAKING HARD! Although kicking and screaming…. And it took him a heck of a time to admit it. Regardless that everyone in his life was telling him that he was a goner… so much fun to watch! Basically, I love him, he is such a foul mouth, dirty talker and I just could resist him! Honestly Jenner was my favorite character, his POV were my favorite, I loved this progression. Just perfect! My only negative was that I was expecting more angst at the climax which kinda fell flat… I wanted a bit more from both. However, that didn’t affect my option of the book. This is still in my top reads of the year so far.
I highly recommend The Billionaire and if you are interested in audiobooks I would say to give this a listen because the audiobook is AMAZING!!! Anxiously waiting for the next book while I go back and read book 1!

This was a okay story but a like a little more story along with the sex.
Jenner and Jo had a connection but it was only to be for the week.
But neither could forget the other. They continue to meet and thing yet hotter between them.
Until the truth comes out .
Love the voices.Good narrative.
