There’s no such thing as a casual romance in this unforgettable Accidental Billionaires novel by New York Times bestselling author J. S. Scott.
After finishing a hard-won medical residency, Owen Sinclair now lives his dream as a family physician. The windfall that brought him newfound wealth has also made handsome Dr. Sinclair the town’s most eligible bachelor. But Owen’s eyes are on Layla, his onetime best friend, his clinic’s dedicated nurse practitioner, and the one woman in Citrus Beach who has no interest in either his body or his billions.
In high school, Owen and Layla were always there for each other. Layla could confess almost anything to him. But wanting more than friendship was a confession too far, and Layla’s teenage longing was crushed in a heartbeat.
Two buried hurts are now in need of mending, and Owen has a proposition—if Layla is game. It’s a matter of trust as they discover so much more about the past, each other, and themselves. It’s not too late. Maybe they can make up for lost time. A love this true is worth the wait.
J.S. “Jan” Scott is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling romance author. She’s an avid reader of all types of books and literature, but romance has always been her genre of choice.
Writing what she loves to read, Jan pens both contemporary and paranormal romances. They are almost always steamy, generally feature an alpha male, and include a happily ever after—she just can’t seem to write them any other way!
Jan lives in the beautiful Rocky Mountains with her husband and two very spoiled German shepherds, and she loves to connect with readers.
I have loved all of the Sinclair family from the East coast to the West but there was something about Owen made him my absolute favorite of all the Sinclair family.
Owen was so devoted to becoming a doctor that when he finished school he realized that he had missed out on being a normal teenager, young adult and most heartbreaking he had missed out on being there for biggest moments of his siblings’ lives but he was back in Citrus Beach and determined to make up for all the things he missed out on and the very top of that list was winning the heart of his best friend from high school, Layla.
Layla was feisty at times but it was her incredibly kind heart that shined the most in her character. She didn’t have an easy life but you would never be able to tell because she was all things kind, caring and loving to all living beings.
Layla and Owen’s chemistry was evident in the prologue and became more intense with every page thereafter. They started as a bit of enemies to lovers then as they settled parts of their past it became a slow burn, swoon worthy friends to lovers as they rekindled their friendship and opened up to each other in ways they never had before and the chemistry became explosive.
I adored Layla and Owen this was the perfect mix of witty banter, feels, steam and loving siblings that you know will always and without question (well, at least, not many questions) have your back or throw a punch when you can’t.
I can’t wait to see what J.S. Scott brings us next I love getting all her new characters in all new settings and never knowing when a character from a previous book will pay a visit.
I voluntarily received a copy of this book with thanks to NetGalley and Montlake, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
