Billionaire Undaunted: The Billionaire's Obsession ~ Zane Paperback – June 3, 2016

“I think I’ve spent my whole life waiting for you to find me in one way or another.”True confession: I have a major crush on gorgeous billionaire Zane Colter! Seriously this hunkalicious genius scientist with the heart of pure gold can swoop to my rescue anytime!And that is EXACTLY what he does with his younger sister Chloe’s best friend, Ellie Winters. He has had a thing for her since he was in high school but she was too young, too off limits for anything other than friendship. But when she stumbles upon incriminating evidence against her boss, James (who also happens to be her best friend’s deranged ex) he kidnaps her, tortures her and leaves her for dead before offing himself. The book opens seven months later, and all of her grief-stricken family and friends have given up on finding her alive. Everyone that is except Zane. He never quit on her. Not for one single second.Picking up where the previous book, BILLIONAIRE UNBOUND, leaves off, this story opens with the scientist tycoon following a sequence of forensic evidence and finally tracking Ellie down in a deserted mountain cabin, in the midst of a raging blizzard. But the sight before him nearly brings him to his knees. The naked, filthy, helpless victim who’s curled up in a fetal position, shackled to a wall, nearly starved to death, resembles nothing of the sweet, curvaceous, vibrant girl he secretly covets. All his fierce protective instincts rise to the surface and he frantically releases her from her imprisoning binds, then scoops her up into his strong, sheltering arms, vowing not only to see her through the most harrowing ordeal of her life, but to grant every wish she’s ever had, make her smile again, help her heal, body and soul!Ahhhh!!!! The feels! The passion! The aching tenderness! This book has it all!! This intensely emotional love story captivated my heart from start to finish. It made me sigh. Swoon. Shed tears of heartbreak and joy. And filled me with such breathless pleasure I could hardly contain myself. I love every book I have read in the Billionaire Obsession series, but J.S. Scott truly astounds with BILLIONAIRE UNDAUNTED. When I first read the blurb for this book, I was a bit concerned whether it would be a bit of a downer, but this mega talented author truly did this story justice and did not sugar coat the tougher moments either. I appreciated the author’s sensitive depiction here of showcasing Ellie’s recovery in real time throughout. It was a slow, often painstaking journey that Ellie underwent as she evolved from traumatized victim to a whole, vibrant woman again. There were no easy fixes here. She was treated in the hospital, got intensive therapy, had her good days and bad. But the hero was there every step of the way. To soothe her. Shelter her. Nurture and care for her. And kiss her breathless until her toes curled!What I truly relished about this romance, aside from the sensitive depiction of a kidnap victim’s slow path to recovery, was that at its core this was a love story about two social misfits who embrace love against unspeakable odds. And of course one of the big draws is the hero!! Geek is totally swoony these days, and Zane is such a unique billionaire! I truly adored him in all his big, brawny, sweetly awkward splendor! He is kind, handsome, fiercely protective and blunt to a fault, a bona fide genius who charms the reader in his own off kilter way! And did I mention hot? Broodingly sexy, mouthwateringly yummy, make my princess parts tingle hot!As for Ellie, she is such a strong, courageous, resilient heroine! But she has to learn to lean on others—particularly the hero--to help her heal her emotional and physical scars incurred from her horrifying ordeal. And true to his word, Zane literally brings her back to life again. This couple is just magical, in large part because they are two square pegs who fit so perfectly together! The fact that Zane is not the life of the party and is socially award makes him that much more attractive to Ellie, and I also love how the heroine has her self-esteem issues to grapple with as well. But through the hero’s tireless support and devotion she not only gets physically stronger but learns to conquer her fears and ultimately thrive.This couple truly shines because they embrace each other’s differences and accept one another for who they were…not who society expects them to be. I also enjoyed the slow, sweet burn between Zane and Ellie. They don’t immediately hop into bed, and when they finally do consummate their union, it is incredibly special and MEANS something! Their chemistry is an intoxicating blend of raw carnal possession and gentle tenderness. The intimacy of their primal connection is physically explosive and blissfully emotional and filled this reader’s heart with a plethora of breathless pleasure!Throw the rowdy Colter clan—Blake, Marcus, Chloe, Tate-- and all their mates into the mix, and it injects a nice nose of heartwarming humor into the plot to balance out the angstier moments in the story. There is also a nice suspense thread throughout and a huge dramatic twist at the end that incites all the Colters and their significant others to band together in wildly unexpected ways!Five smoldering stars for BILLIONAIRE UNDAUNTED!

This was a lot! There was so much chaos and uncertainty, but also dedication and love. I always state how big a sucker I am for these stories, but it is a great thing to read and feel how much love and growth, as well as overcome by is found in a books pages. Read it!

Another great story you have to read. Abuse, kidnapping of Jelly and everyone thinking she's dead. That is everyone but her best friend Chloe and her brother Zane. Elly has been gone seven months but he never gives up. This is a must read. Thank you for sharing this story, it's been an adventure.

There was no way I wasn't going to continue reading Zane's story because I knew Ellie was still alive. Didn't expect that coward James would take his life. He knew that he was going to die a very terrible death if he lived after Ellie was found.So happy for the two of them and Chloe and Gabe.Glad to see that J S Scott hasn't let us down by completing this series around the Colter family. I know that there will be a series on the Sinclair family which rounds out this amazing group of bachelors and Bachelorette.Looking forward to reading the twins Blake and Marcus story.If you aren't reading the Bachelor series, you definitely should be. Colorado and Tampa are on my travel bucket list.

TITLE OF BOOK: BILLIONAIRE UNDAUNTED-ZANEAUTHOR OF BOOK: J. S. SCOTTDATE READ: MARCH 9, 2017 – MARCH 10, 2017J. S. Scott is one of my favorite Contemporary romance authors for a very good reason, and that reason is she never lets her readers down. She writes her books with such passion that it just spills over onto the pages and you feel as though you are transported into the story yourself. At least you can imagine that you are the one that finds your love in a billionaire that will dote on you and spoil you. “Billionaire Undaunted” picks up where “Billionaire Unbound” left off. It is an amazing story and it one that many women face today and yet you don’t think it could happen to you. J. S. Scott knows how to grab your attention and hold it till the very end of the book. She knows how to write a storyline with characters that make the storyline believable. She gives you a handsome billionaire, a woman in distress, mystery, intrigue, life threatening situations, and a loving family. What more could you ask for in a book? Oh yea…. a whole lot of sex and loving!!!!!!! You surely do not want to miss this book.Ellie Winters is the friend of Chloe Colter who went missing. Chloe’s former fiancée kidnapped Ellie to keep Chloe in his clutches. Only thing is her ex-fiancée killed himself before they could find Ellie. Chloe had to heal from the abuse she suffered from her dead fiancée and she and new husband were on their honeymoon. But Chloe never believed Ellie was dead and never did her brother Zane. Zane Colter was always a nerdy guy growing up. He is very smart and a billionaire even without the money he inherited from his father. He is a scientist and owns his own labs and homes. He kept looking for Ellie even when everyone else had given up. He found her in an abandoned cabin shackled to the floor with no clothes on, no blankets, and no food. Plus, he had beaten her repeatedly and left to die. Zane has decided that he is going to see to it that Ellie gets all she help that she needs to heal and become the woman she once was. Will Zane be able to help Ellie heal from her abuse and captivity? Will Zane be able to make Ellie see that he wants more than just friendship from her? Or will they both continue to live a life of loneliness?No Spoilers.

This story features Ellie and Zane. Both have feelings for the other. Zane saves Ellie when she needs him the most, and together they form a close bond. They've known each other since childhood, but life stopped them from getting close to each other, until now. Zane wants to make Ellie his world, but she feels that she's not good enough for a guy like him. Will they be able to work through their issues together, or apart? Another fantastic billionaires story.

I am a one clickaholic when it comes to the Billionaire series by this Author. I don't even read the blurb. If it's up on pre order, I click. I have been hooked since the series began with Simon Hudson in The Billionaire's Obsession. Oh yeah, he's mine. I get completely lost in these books and this one is no different. It's a brand new story filled with love, romance, sex, danger, super intense moments. Is it just me or are these books becoming more wicked? wickedly good of course but you know what I mean. There is more danger, more intensity. I always say, 'God, I loved that book' and then another comes out and I keep thinking it's better than the last one when in reality they are all brilliantly done, it's just a new story with new characters we have been dying to read about.Zane Colter a man that doesn't give up and thankfully he never gave up on Ellie. Zane is not only Ellie's hero, he's mine and probably many more readers feel the same way. The guy could claim me any day of the week. I know, I'm already spoken for with Simon but hey, he has Kara. Anyways moving on. This story I found it to be very emotional. There were times when my heart almost broke for Ellie and Chloe even Zane. The struggles of moving forward after everything that has happened to them is hard to overcome. Zane is not about to give up, he will do anything for Ellie to be happy and feel safe once again.Just when you think life can be good again given time and help from support of family and friends life throws another curve ball at Ellie and the Colter family. It's a very intense situation to say the least. Zane fears the worst that Ellie will put herself in danger. Tate and Marcus hatch a plan that no one wants to be left out of. All for one and one for all.Imagine having all the alpha males in one room. It makes my skin tingle, LOL!! Sorry I just can't help it, as much as I was drawn into the story and bad things were happening, I couldn't help but think boy I would love to be in that room right now with all those hot, strong alpha men. One thing you can always guarantee with the Billionaire's they know how to claim a woman. They will not rest until the words 'you are mine' are spoken. The billionaire series completely blows me away every time. I am so thankful that I started this amazing journey.Thank you Author J.S Scott for another fabulous read. You have developed your characters so well I feel like they are a part of my life, or is that wishful thinking? Either way as always I look forward to the next instalment.I highly recommended to all lovers of Romance. If you haven't ever read a book by this Author then you are seriously missing out. Thousands and I mean thousands of readers sit in anticipation for a new release and it's worth every waiting day.

A brilliant romance story with plenty of action and with nail biting suspense all the way through the story. How two best friends were abused by Chloe's ex-fiance and her friend being kidnapped by him, nearly losing her life by him after he committed suicide in jail after he was trying to force Chloe to marrying her for her money and blackmailing her with seedy tapes he took of them both. Leaving à note that Zane, who liked Ellie would have à job to find her. But with his science skills, he knew where to look for her. Finding her just in time, being very emaciated. Nursing her back to health à deep and abiding love grew rapidly. But then Zane's Denver manager went off the rails with a psychotic breakdown, blaming Zane for his girlfriend running off and leaving him and kidnapping Zane for ransome and his science project he was working on so he could sell it to the beignets bidder, but Ellie and his brothers had other ideas and he was overpowered by Blake and carted off to jail and pôor battered Zane to hospital. Love blossomed with Ellie and Zane and the rest is bistrot, as they say. Great story, and a great read.

At the end of Chloe’s story (book 7 ) we learn that Zane is still working flat out to find Ellie who is Chloe’s missing freind and vows not to give up Until they know what has happened to her . Then the news comes that James who is now facing very serious charges decides to end his life but not before writting a letter saying that he’s responsible for Ellie’s disapearence ,so the race is on to find her before it’s too late . Obviously the outcome is favourable or this would be a very short book ,but really this story is about how Zane helps Ellie recover from her horrendous ordeal and how they come to realise that they are madly in love with one another . There’s a little blip on the horizon that threatens their happiness , but with the help of the Coulter siblings the blip is soon sorted .

J. S. Scott AT HER BEST!!!!I absolutely fell in love with this story. If we read the last book we know what happened to Chloe and the challenges she had to overcome to find true happiness.This book picks up pretty much from Chloe's story, as we see Ellie finding herself in a bit of a tight situation trying to help her best friend from the hands of a madman. In her attempt to fight evil, Ellie puts herself in the middle of danger and ends up being kindnapped, and pretty much left to die. Author J.S. Scott puts the readers in the centre of the story and we can feel every emotion and pain that our female lead is going through. Plenty of Angst but all this is beautifully written and I can only say this as testament of a brilliant writer for it is not easily achieved.As with other books from this Author, you find yourself unable to put the book down for one second. It's like a crave, even when you aren't reading you are continuously thinking of the characters and desperate to get back and read on. Well I just couldn't turn my back on this book and finished it in one sitting.Who is Zane Colter. Zane, in my opinion, is the most unusual of the Alpha Billionaire's. I am not saying his predecessors weren't smart but Zane is unbelievably smart. His job and what he has accomplished in his line of work makes him a genius and his research a target and easy pray for those seeking fame and fortune. Last we read, he was helping his sister Chloe and has spent all his time searching for Ellie. He knows something is terribly wrong and is desperate to find her.Zane and Ellie have a long and difficult path to overcome. Ellie must fight not only the demons of her terrible ordeal but also her insecurities before she can let herself be loved. Love on the other hand is an alien feeling for Zane and he, in turn, must learn to deal with all this sudden, powerful and unknown emotions if he doesn't want to loose the only thing that has ever matter to him.This story is so emotional. It has all those hot and steamy moments we all love and have learnt to live without from these books. Plenty of twists and turns and a lovely reunion from past characters, plus a snippet into the next Billionaire to grace our shelves!! eek I say no more...Just rememberZANE IS MINE!!5 HEARTFELT STARS Isalovesbooks
