The Billionaire's Christmas Fiancée is a sweet holiday romance that turns a job into a love like no other.

Josh was harboring a secret attraction to his assistant since the day she started for him two years ago. He did good at dismissing it, until she discovered him looking for a fake wife via a hilarious computer oopsie that had me laughing. It didn't take long for him to change the idea and ask her to do it instead. A fake wife to seal a business deal, what could go wrong with that scenario? Oh yeah, it's a business in her hometown and not only do they have to lie for the sake of the business deal, but also to her family and everyone else she knows in the small town.

Amelia was also harboring a secret attraction to her boss and thought the fake fiancée thing was a very bad idea, but the money he offered to pay her combined with the promotion she'd finagled out of it were worth the risk. At least she thought so in the beginning, that was before she started to actually fall for him.

Simple touches to enhance their relationship appearance became touches when no one was around. A few days in, it turned into a chemistry explosion that neither could get enough of. However, each had their doubts about the realness of what they were feeling. That was when Josh had to come clean and admit it wasn't true, which still got him the deal he had been after. Though he lost her, to wanting some space.

But when you know, you know, and space is not what you need. Luckily for Amelia, she only assumed Josh gave up, and instead he made his move and did only what a man in his shoes could do...show up at her parent's house and prove he was in love with her without a doubt.

The Billionaire's Sudden Christmas Baby is an interesting turn of events romance. Mitch is stressed out trying to get everything perfect for the Christmas Gala, dealing with a winter storm, and a hotel running with less than half its staff. What he did not need is a crazy event planner that he would have to have fire and have security escort off the property, or depending on her once assistant to finish planning the gala, or for them to find a real baby in the nativity crib.

Jules didn't particularly like her boss, but she loved her job. She didn't expect for her to throw a temper tantrum and fire her, nor did she expect the hotel's COO to hire her directly, but the highlight of her crazy day was discovering an abandoned infant in the nativity scene and getting asked to stay in Mitch's suite with him to assist in taking care of the baby until social services could make other arrangements.

Mitch and Jules take to parenting like naturals. They work well together in every aspect of taking care of baby Noelle and finishing up with all of the gala arrangements. After a few days things become so normal that they both start to let up their barriers and be more comfortable, which leads to flirtations, and then hot as hell elevator sex. 

Things are going great until Jules needs Mitch's help with the baby and he has work stuff. Stuff that includes shots with a woman who wants in his pants, a meeting that Jules sees and realizes that maybe everything she thought they had was all in her head. At the gala Mitch fails to stand up for her and it is the final draw. She will take Noelle and finally go home to her house. Although she won't be there very long before Mitch shows up in a unique way and makes everything right.

Together Mitch and Jules will do everything they can to be the parents Noelle needs and the partners they both always wanted.

The Billionaire's Second Chance Christmas is a sizzling competition between ex high school sweethearts who are both still drawn to each other. Chris went on to become a celebrity chef, while Mara stayed in her hometown and needs to win the Christmas Gingerbread House Competition in order to use the prize money to open her own bakery. For him, it's just publicity and to help him get the show he wants to do.

It doesn't take long for the pages to heat up, just a little one-on-one time and they can't seem to keep their hands off of each other. However, it's not just sex, although there is a lot of that. Chris does such sweet things like taking her ice skating or making her hot chocolate. Their time together without anyone else around is precious. They remember how much chemistry they had in high school and slowly as the days pass, they will learn the truths their high school selves were too stubborn to listen to.

The lead characters have an amazing chemistry that keep you fully wrapped up in them and their story. The utter cuteness and intense passion are wrapped up in comedy and competition.  

The Billionaire Athlete's Christmas is a heartwarming story about a single mother and an ex-athlete who find each other when they least expect to.

Chase didn't want to be at his family's ski resort. As a matter of fact, he didn't want to be around snow period. He was a champion skier who got injured and lost everything he knew. His girlfriend left him, his sponsors left, and eventually it was just him wallowing in his own self-pity.

Tana wanted to make a good life for her daughter and the ski lodge offered her a way to do that. She gave ski lessons, and they gave her a cabin to live in and all sorts of little benefits that made the opportunity a perfect fit. Her daughter Lindsey has an ailment that prevents her from certain activities, but because she wants to keep her safe she'll hold her back. It's because of Chase that Lindsey will finally be able to do things she's always wanted to do, like learn to ski.

Lindsey is just as big a part of this story as Chase and Tana. She's an adventurous little girl who absolutely loves Chase and when he offers to give her ski lessons, she's overly excited. She talks about him all the time and wants him to be her dad. A simple fact that at the time she only knew him as her mom's friend and when she mentions it talk about a mom panic mode. LOL! It's funny how kids pick up on the truth of things.

I loved how all the characters fit together and how it feels like you know everyone, leaving you looking forward to what happens with his brothers and wanting to read the next book in the series.

The Billionaire's Fake Christmas Engagement is a bad idea that turned out right. Why not bring home a fake fiancé to prove that you're on the right life path? Because everyone will find out you lied. And because you'll fall for her. That's exactly what happens for Gabe.

Anna thought that once their working relationship was over that maybe they could pursue something a little more personal, she never expected him to ask her to be his fake fiancé. She did like him, but part of her knew it would be a bad idea and yet she agrees.

The Elkin family can be ruthless when it comes to one of their own and after Anna's ex shows up and calls her out, they automatically think she's some kind of schemer and she knows it so she leaves. With the way she grew up it wasn't as if she thought she belonged in their world anyway.

Out of all the books in this series this wasn't my favorite. Compared to its predecessors the leading couple just didn't have the same fiery chemistry. It felt off. The storyline was similar to another of the Christmas with the Billionaire books in this collection, which is probably why it didn't hold my interest.

The Billionaire's Christmas Son was a sweet family romance. 

Jonas recognizes Rachel as soon as he sees her, and although shocked he also knows at first sight that Scott is his son. He feels like he's missed out on so much and does not want to lose any more time with him.

Rachel never expected to see her one-night stand again, let alone be working for him. She knows she should let him be in Scott's life but letting him into her life turns out to be a little more difficult. She had an ex who like to control everything she did, and her mother is worse. Her mother would rather her be with her cheating ex because it looks good for her campaign to not have a single mother as a child. She wants to control all of her actions because they are not what she would do and when she realizes she cannot control her daughter's actions she will even threaten to take her son. Her mother is definitely a piece of work.

The Elkin family is almost just as bad. The think Rachel is just trying to claim Jonas as the baby daddy for his money and his brothers are very vocal about it once they discover the truth. A truth he keeps from his grandmother because he wants to protect her health. Though once everything falls apart and Rachel leaves with Scott he'll realize exactly what he wants in life...and what makes life enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it was a great way to end the collection.

I picked this up because I wanted some Christmasy fun times. This wasn't that. Yeah, these stories are extremely Christmasy but they weren't that fun of a time. Especially reading them all so closely to each to other. It got so incredibly repetetive. This was just the same story 6 times over just packaged differently. Everything was extremely underdeveloped as well. So yeah, I wanted this to be more fun than it ended up being.

Six novella-length reads in one collection of holiday reads with Billionaire heros. For the Denton portion, their careers have taken their priority and their personal lives a backseat. Each of the first three focus on how the women in their lives impact their expectations about the future. The chemistry between each of the couples jumps off the page making them quick enjoyable reads. The last three focusing on the Elkins are a bit more angsty than the previous ones making them even more enjoyable for me. This collection is convenient as you won't have to wait for the next release.

Book 1. Billionaire’s Christmas Fiancée

This was a sweet holiday read. It has the fake-dating and Billionaire tropes. Now, in my (not so) humble opinion the fake-dating trope is becoming a bit of a cliche. It's hard to come up with a completely different storyline that will grab the reader. In this story that ‘cliche’ came out as the billionaire boss had to make his assistant his fake fiancee (there we go again). BUT…..Leslie made that cliche right with her very relatable and likeable characters Amelia and Josh. The emotional touch made me fall in love with Josh and Amelia is a strong character who knows what she wants without being cold or unrelatable. The chemistry between them is great and there are some nice steamy scenes, but not over the top. The storyline was well thought out and executed well. This was a very entertaining and heartwarming story.
3.5 ⭐️

Book 2: The Billionaire’s Sudden Christmas Baby

This was a very lighthearted read with the ‘surprise baby’ trope. The story is about Mitch and Jules plus an abandoned baby, who they decide to take care of in light of the Christmas spirit. The characters are again very loveable. The chemistry between them is great. I loved the magic of Christmas that you could feel throughout the story. It is a touching, sweet, some spicy scenes, drama, but mostly lovely story.
3.5 ⭐️

Book 3: The Billionaire’s Second Chance Christmas

The second chance trope. Like most second-chance tropes, the characters Chris and Mara are having communication issues. The issue they don’t have is the amazing chemistry, that has more spice than a ginger bread house. I loved it. The backstory was written very well and you could understand both characters and relate to them. A nice spicy, sexy with a bit of drama romantic book.
3.5 ⭐️

Book 4: The Billionaire Athlete’s Christmas Fling

A quick and cute story about Chase and Tana. It has the single-mom and billionaire trope. The chemistry was there, but with this one, it all felt a bit rushed. I liked the family parts and some parts were really heartwarming. It is an easy read which will be perfect if you just looking for a very lighthearted read while snuggling up
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 5: The Billionaire’s Fake Christmas Engagement

In this fake relationship, billionaire and second chance trope we follow Gabe & Anna. Family dramas and some emotional moments. I had a great relation with my grandmother, so I could relate easily. I liked Anna, but her family is just….well….read for yourself. The sizzling romance will keep you warm this winter.
3.5 star

Book 6: The Billionaire’s Christmas Son

The last book in this billionaire series with a second chance and surprise ‘child’ tropes. In this book we meet Jonas and Rachel. This book hadn't as much drama as the ones before, but enough steamy romance. It was a very quick read with the emotions in the right spots. Again a nice and cozy story and when you are looking for an easy read, this will do.
