In The Billionaire in her Bed by Regina Kyle, Brooke Worthington is the black sheep of her family in the way she does the complete opposite to what her parents want for her. Finding a man to spend the rest of her life with is the last thing she wants to do until she meets Eli Ward and begins to spend time with him. However, Eli is keeping things from her and when she learns the truth, will she be able to accept his reasoning or will they both lose their chance at happy ever after?

This is the first book I've read by Ms. Kyle, yet the moment I finished this story I knew it wouldn't be my last. Really, right from the beginning, this book was enthralling, fast-paced and was an absolute page turner due to the secrets the hero and heroine both have. It's also a story that drew me in immediately because of the instant and intense chemistry between the main characters from the moment they meet. Will they succumb to their intense chemistry right away? Will the heroine give the hero a chance, even though she doesn't do relationships?

As for the dialogue, it was well-written, compelling and I loved the hero and heroine's back stories and their growing relationship that had me intrigued to discover what would happen once their secrets came to light. Moreover, both the main characters were well-developed and beguiling due to the obstacles they have to overcome including the hero finding out what's going on with his company, what will happen to the apartments where the heroine lives and whether the hero can win the heroine's heart, considering her stance on relationships.

With the main characters, the heroine had it tough when it came to dealing with her parents and their negativity towards her when it came to what she was doing with her life. Seriously, it made me feel sorry for her because parents are supposed to be supportive and love unconditionally and it's palpable they favor Brooke's sister over her. However, I liked that the heroine didn't give up on her dreams and continued to pursue what she wanted to do. While the hero, he's confident, hard-working, and I liked how determined he was to find the person that was hurting his company. Certainly, his tactics for finding the person responsible were a tad devious, especially when it's helping him get closer with the heroine, but it was also necessary because who knew who he could trust within the company he owns with his best friend.

Overall, Ms Kyle has delivered a memorable and delightful read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was intense, the romance hot and special in the way these two need each other to heal from their pasts; and the ending had me worried for this couple's happy ever after, as secrets have a way of coming out. However, in saying that, I absolutely loved the way things turned out for Eli and Brooke, as the hero was willing to do whatever it takes to win the heroine back after things went awry. Who knew the secondary characters could be such a godsend? Yet, it was the epilogue that wrapped this story up splendidly and had me smiling because of the hero's surprise and Brooke's response, which would without a doubt annoy the heroine's mother. I would recommend The Billionaire in her Bed by Regina Kyle, if you enjoy the mysterious strangers trope or books by authors Miranda Liasson, Kate Davies, Lexxie Couper and Alexia Adams.

Real estate mogul Eli Ward needs to keep a low profile on his new project. He’s expecting a fight from the somewhat eclectic folks currently living there. What doesn’t expect is for that fight to be led by Brooke Worthington, the woman who rocked his world one unforgettable night. The one woman who doesn’t know who he is, which is a good thing. She just sees him as a regular guy. It’s refreshing.

Graphic designer and part-time bartender Brooke Worthington refuses to follow her family’s plan for her. She’s too busy building her artistic career. She doesn’t have time for relationships, either, especially with the super hot Eli, because she has to save the building she lives in with people she thinks of as her real family from some greedy real estate billionaire.
