Love is worth a fortune in this sizzling novel of accidental romance and riches by New York Times bestselling author J.S. Scott.

Wildlife conservationist Jade Sinclair isn’t used to having money. But when she and her siblings learned they were part of the mega-rich Sinclair dynasty, they became billionaires overnight. Jade doesn’t even know how to act rich, especially when she’s dealing with an arrogant, privileged, unreasonably sexy snob like Eli Stone.

Unlike Jade, Eli grew up rich, and he just keeps getting richer. Eli is always looking for an adventure, and he’s found an inviting one in Jade—as resistant as she is irresistible. His less-than-honorable plan? Get her alone in the wilderness by buying out all the spots in her survival class.

Calling a truce, they strike a bargain: Jade will teach Eli basic survival skills, and he’ll teach her how to navigate the world of the wealthy elite. Jade has only one condition—she will not let herself be seduced by him. But some things are easier said than done…

Ch 5 (24%) - (view spoiler)[ Anyone else expect a comment when she asked if he was "pitching a tent"? Should we take bets now that they won't make it out of this class without at least making out??
She won't be able to hold out long. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 13 (52%) - (view spoiler)[ Uh oh, her frosty little heart is starting to thaw! (hide spoiler)]
Ch 16 (61%) - Damn! (view spoiler)[ I did NOT expect her to fall off a cliff! (hide spoiler)]
Ch 19 (68%) - Um?? (view spoiler)[ I'm just as confused as Eli for why he has a ring. Hasn't it only been a couple of weeks since they have been hanging out? And she was unconscious for most of it. Pff, fiction! (hide spoiler)]
Finished - (view spoiler)[ Aw. I wonder if they will start a dalmatian plantation together.

I gotta say, this was not the plot that I was expecting given the teaser we got from Brooke's story (Only a Millionaire). Jade came off as a tough heroine that wouldn't need rescuing, etc. I was expecting Jade and Eli to get stuck somewhere in the wilderness and SHE would use her survival skills to save his ass. Guess my imagination was working really well that day. I still liked this story. It had some unexpected twists (falling off a cliff). And the next book is set up pretty well - I'm already putting money on Skye's daughter being Aiden's baby and some mix up with messages making Skye bail on the relationship before he knew she was preggers. Doesn't it always come down to a mix up in messages? (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 5 : lol, this was hilarious, I like the innuendos. I guess he pitched 2!!!

Ch. 13: (view spoiler)[ I didn't think she had a frosty heart, I think she just didn't have time for any romantic life especially after her last fail.

ch 16: That was crazy!!! who gets that close for a picture? did she even get the picture?

ch 19: Yep that was quick... I think that was cute though.

Finished... lol. I don't think so. (hide spoiler)]

18.55% (view spoiler)[ I love his candor. I love she is not falling for his crap so easily. She can only hold on for so long though. Eli sounds hot!! (hide spoiler)]

49.19% (view spoiler)[ That was super scary. I probably would’ve screamed and run after seeing that huge bear. (hide spoiler)]

64.52% (view spoiler)[ Just give her the ring. U know you bought it for a reason. (hide spoiler)]

85.48% (view spoiler)[ Awww of course she has to say YES!!! I am so glad Eli is getting better and learning to let go of his brother. (hide spoiler)]

Finished... (view spoiler)[ Who is this new match??! (hide spoiler)]

I am going to crash the tail end of this BR if thats ok? I just found it on KU and it comes with an audio I can listen too when I'm out running errands!

28%: (view spoiler)[hmm..seems interesting enough. (hide spoiler)]
58%: (view spoiler)[they are a cute ass couple. (hide spoiler)]
75%: (view spoiler)[uhhh okay, the ring and the dead brother were kind of sudden information to get thrown at me. (hide spoiler)]
100%: (view spoiler)[so skye's kid is definitely aiden's and i'm sure they had some sort of miscommunication and thats why they broke up and she married the other guy. other than that, I enjoyed the book and it definitely made some things clear for this series. (hide spoiler)]

Starting this today!

10% - (view spoiler)[ Not a bad start. Interesting for sure! So did Brooke’s story come first in a different series maybe? Feels like I am in the middle of something. (hide spoiler)]
40% (view spoiler)[. I gotta give it to this girl at least she stands up for her morals...but OMG jump him already! (hide spoiler)]
80% (view spoiler)[ What o man! This dude done jacked it all up. I’m sorry but I don’t see anyone accidentally texting someone this. Maybe a drunken drugged up dial up with a voicemail that could be misinterpreted. Antibiotics and flu medicine wouldn’t do that, pain meds could make you loopy but that text....nope. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[. Awww well well a niece huh! Aiden what have you done!!!! I’m glad Eli and Jade got their HEA. The start of the book was a little slow to me, and I was trying really hard not to be irritated at the oh no I’m rich what should I do now attitude because the character really made sure the reader knew she had no room to complain...but I was irritated a little bit lol. Just thinking about the library I could have if I was a billionaire 🤯! Decent read though really fast. (hide spoiler)]
