Definitely the best in the series! I kept reading the series simply for Jake and Lil's story. Their characters tugged at me from book one, <a href="https://goodreads.com/book/show/11239856.Maid_for_the_Billionaire" title="Maid for the Billionaire by Ruth Cardello" rel="noopener">Maid for the Billionaire</a>, and with the hints that got dropped in book two, <a href="https://goodreads.com/book/show/12406034.For_Love_Or_Legacy" title="For Love Or Legacy by Ruth Cardello" rel="noopener">For Love Or Legacy</a>, I knew book three had to be their story.<br /><br />I'm really glad I stuck with it, because Jake is heavenly. Watching him transform from a hardened bachelor into a kindhearted honest gentleman who cares not only for Lil, but for Lil's daughter. <br /><br />Besides the budding romance between Lil and Jake I enjoyed the technological storyline with the hackers and Dom's company.<br /><br />You can probably get away with just reading this one, without the other two. I'd recommend it. A book four is in the work, and I'll be honest - I'll probably read it.

I'm rating this my favorite book of the series so far because she keeps me interested. After the first book I didn't think I'd want to read about any other characters besides Dominic and Abby. Then I didn't think I'd want to read about anyone but Nicole and Stephan - and now I'll admit that when the fourth book comes out I will not be all that excited to read about Zhang and Rachid, but I will because lesson learned; they're all good, short reads. I've read all 3 books in three days as they take about 4-5 hours a piece and I'm not much a TV watcher. The only downfall I'd say this author has is that the characters are too forgiving way too quickly - it seems like their inner monologue is keeping them away from the other character, then they get together, then something insane happens that would take some people years to get over, but they're over it in a chapter and then they live happily ever after madly in love. While I understand that's what romance novels are about, a happy ending, but it just seems like you'll get through 75% of the book where they're building a relationship, 5% of the book is conflict, and the last 20% is them being madly in love. Nonetheless the reads kept me interested and I'll be looking for more to read from this author.

gostei!...<br />apesar de não ter uma trama super desenvolvida e ser mais ou menos previsivel.<br />a continuação da serie Legacy, sendo que o par romantico são Lil e Jake, personagens que já tinham entrado na primeira estória.<br /><br />a estória pecou basicamente por não ter practicamente desafios em termos de personagens... com personalidades lineares que não despertaram grande interesse.<br />fica a porta entreaberta para a proxima estória.....

Oh my goodness!!! This book was great! Read it in about 3.5 hours! This was the first boom the author wrote after going full time as an author and I could certainly tell!!! I loved the story with Jake and Lil. Anxiously awaiting book 4.

❤️❤️❤️❤️<br />???<br />Jake and Lil’s story is brilliant, and emotional.<br />So far the best in the series.

Another 2.5 stars, but I'm rounding down. Lil still seemed very immature, and while she did sorta redeem herself by the end, there could have been a better way to approach the problem that wasn't even really a problem.

I enjoyed Lil and Jake's love story. The plot is good and the pacing is steady. I did enjoy the first two in the series a lot more. I may continue the series, just not sure. Happy reading!

Bedding the Billionaire by Ruth Cardello<br /><br />Jake and Lil<br /><br />LOVE IS A MYTH - BLEH!!!<br /><br />Ok Ok Ok... I totally missed this one... started reading Saving the Sheik and realized I missed book #3... Hells Bells... what's wrong with me... I'll tell you what's wrong... too many books on my TBR list.... Sorry Ruthie!!!<br /><br />Jake and Lil... oh my!!! Funny how what we think we need and want is the complete opposite of what we get and are completely and totally happy with!!! I loved both of these characters... Jake trying to be all "stand up" like and Lil trying to be someone she's not just to prove a point and be like she thinks everyone wants her to be!!! Glad to see the rest of the crew making an appearance here and there... I completely miss with my whole heart... Abby and Dom... those two will always be my fave in this series!!<br /><br />229 pages (kindle version) of pure heat.... oh and some funnies... some cuteness, and some more heat... LOL!! Those 229 pages flew by in one day... that's how effortless this is to read... Ruthie Cardello is one of the best writers I've come across lately!! She makes you feel like you're part of the story... like you're there.... Man do I wish I was there... hehehehe... in Jake's arms!!! Although.. that first time for Jake and Lil together, I have to admit... my heart was breaking and I literally wanted to smack the crap out of Jake... <br />Totally loved how each of them could throw each other off of their games with a look or a few words... mmm... delicious!!! AND the way Jake takes to Colby... melted my heart to puddle!!! <br /><br />I gave this 4.5 stars... Now onto Saving the Sheik... still can't believe I missed #3!!! <br />

All three books are character engaging.<br />What hooked me initially, Barnes and Noble offered the first book (Nook) in the series for free. At first I wasn't sure I could get excited about the story, a bit slow start. Once I got to the motivation for the story and Abby's introduction, my interest was peeked. I don regret reading the books...quite entertaining.<br />Each book is suspended with the fleshing out of the different characters that were introduced during the first book: Abby & Dominic, Nichole & Stephan, Lil & Jake...there's another one coming out...this one should be a fun read too.<br />In book three I enjoyed the introduction of the artist Carmen R. Sonnes...went on the website to check out her work, it's beautiful.

<br /> <br /> This book has the wrong title....it should be called "Changing the Billionaire" because that's what Lil does to Jake not bedding him.... It's was definitely my favorite in the series, the characters were adorable and throughout the story the original couple Dom and Abby were present wrapping up their story without taking away from the main characters......great book
