ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date June 21, 2016

Greer has always been there for Asher, but she wishes she could break through her shyness and show how much she truly loves him. But after a steamy, mindless fling at Hunter and Gretchen’s engagement party, Greer finds herself tossed aside and forced to admit that you can’t love someone who doesn’t acknowledge you exist.

It’s a shame he got her pregnant.

After his fiancée betrayed him and tanked his business in one fell swoop, Asher has spent his time trying to rebuild his wealth and forget the past. But he doesn’t understand why Greer blew him off after their night together—until he catches a glimpse of her belly.

Now Asher is willing to do whatever it takes to convince Greer she belongs with him. And he’s very skilled at the art of persuasion.

•••••••••

REVIEW: THE BILLIONAIRE’S FAVORITE MISTAKE is the fourth installment in Jessica Clare’s contemporary, adult BILLIONAIRES AND BRIDESMAIDS erotic, romance series-a spin off from her Billionaire Boys Club series. This is billionaire businessman Asher Sutton, and wedding planner Greer Chadha-Janssen. THE BILLIONAIRE’S FAVORITE MISTAKE can be read as a stand alone; many of the previous story lines and original series characters play secondary and supporting roles as much of the series premise focuses on Hunter and Gretchen’s (Beauty and the Billionaire/Billionaire Bad Boys #2) upcoming nuptials.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Greer and Asher) follows the tumultuous relationship between our leading couple. Greer has been in love with Asher since first year of college, but Asher has only had eyes for the one that betrayed his heart. A costume party, Greer’s ill-fated attempt to seduce Asher, and a drunken fling finds our heroine pregnant with Asher’s baby, and Asher having no memory of what happened or why. What ensues are Asher’s attempts to reconcile with his best friend but making too many mistakes along the way. When Asher is unable to convince Greer that he regrets everything he has said and done, our hero makes a deal with the devil that backfires one too many times.

Asher is a bit of a ‘douche’; there is nothing redeeming about the man including his attempts to ‘woo’ Greer back into his life-everything he does is based upon a lie and manipulation of circumstances, and in this Asher is in need of a major overhaul in the romance department when it comes to women and their hearts. Greer, is a bit naïve and immature; an innocent who has fallen in love with the wrong man, but a man that has called to her heart for too many years. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense if you ignore their initial drunken $ex fiasco.

A number of the previous story lines female characters play secondary and supporting roles as the ‘bridesmaids’ prepare for Hunter and Gretchen’s wedding. Greer is Gretchen’s wedding planner, but her pregnancy, and an ‘emergency fake wedding’ have caught our heroine by surprise.

THE BILLIONAIRE’S FAVORITE MISTAKE is an emotional read. Our heroine’s lack of self esteem continues to spiral out of control with Asher’s numerous attempts apologize and make things right. Because Greer can no longer trust our story line hero, she is in constant emotional pain with the loss of her best friend and the man that she once loved— but— to add fuel to the fire, Greer disappears after their one night stand, and refuses to acknowledge Asher’s existence for several months and in this perpetuates the negative reactions between herself and Asher Sutton. The premise is fateful; the characters are passionate and somewhat idealistic; the romance is a struggle towards a happily ever after.

Excerpt

When the group started to disperse into partying again, he got out of his chair and moved toward Greer’s table, stalking her. He saw her heading off with one of the waitstaff and jogged to catch up. “Greer!”
She turned and her face paled at the sight of him. Her mouth firmed into an angry line of distaste, and then she picked up her skirts and continued to walk away.
Yeah, he was definitely on the shit list.
That didn’t deter him, though. Asher headed after her, following her into the house and catching up despite her efforts to hurry. “Hey, wait up. I think we need to talk.”
“I have nothing to say to you, Asher.” She didn’t turn to look at him.
He reached out and clasped her arm, noting how warm her skin was, and how soft. And damn it all if he didn’t start to get another inappropriate boner. His body really needed to learn to calm the fuck down. “Just give me five minutes of your time, all right? Then I’ll leave you alone.”
She exchanged a look with the waitress, and then nodded at her. “I’ll be inside in a minute. Go ahead.” When the woman left, Greer sighed and turned back to him, smoothing a stray lock of hair back behind her ear. “What is it, Asher? I’m very busy tonight with the party.”
“I can imagine. This is a terrific party. I should have known you were behind it.” He knew she’d done weddings for some top-notch clients in New York and always took her job extremely seriously. Of course she’d put on a spectacular party for her father. “Listen. I feel like the last time we saw each other, we . . . well, we fucked up.”
Her eyebrows went up.
Shit. That was apparently the wrong thing to say. “I mean, it was a fuckup, but not that fucking you was a mistake.” God, where was his suaveness when he needed it? Why was he all diarrhea of the mouth when it came to Greer? He could sweet talk anyone, but the moment he came close to her, he babbled like a schoolboy. “Not that I think we should have fucked, of course. We’re friends, and friends don’t sleep with each other. Not if they want to stay friends. And you’ve been avoiding me. We haven’t had our Mondays in the last few months.”
“No, we haven’t.”
“It doesn’t have to be Mondays, you know. It can be any other day. Or it doesn’t have to be lunch. It can be anytime you need it to be if your schedule is all screwed.” He frowned to himself. “I should probably stop saying the word screwed, shouldn’t I?”
Her arms crossed over her chest, pressing her dress tighter against her body. “Is this conversation going somewhere, Asher? Like I said, I’m very busy tonight.”
Greer’s tits looked magnificent in that dress, he realized. They’d been small, perfect handfuls the night they’d slept together and now they seemed . . . doubly abundant. “Did you get a boob job?”
Her eyes narrowed imperceptibly. “I need to go.”
Fuck, why did he say that? “Sorry. It’s none of my business. Listen.” He reached out and grabbed her elbow when she turned to leave, stopping her. “The reason why I wanted to talk to you tonight is because I was behaving like an ass that night. I was drunk and I wasn’t myself. I was just lost in misery and in booze, and if I’d been thinking straight, I would have never dragged you off to the gardens and slept with you.” And damn if that didn’t sound all wrong, too. “Not because you’re not attractive, Greer. You are.”
“You’re not winning me over, Asher.” Her voice sounded hard. “Did you truly come to this party just to tell me that you find me repulsive and you wouldn’t have slept with me if you were sober?”
“What? No, that’s not what I meant at all. You’re hot. I mean, hell, you look smoking hot in that dress tonight.” She was all lush curves, which was surprising given that his memories of her were of her daintiness. But her body had changed in the last couple of months. And something about that was bothering him. “I just . . . don’t think we should have done that. As friends.”
“On that, I agree completely. May I go now?”
Why wasn’t she thawing toward him? He remembered Greer as all soft, shy smiles for him. They’d been friends, good friends. The cool, remote stranger in front of him . . . well, it reminded him of Stijn and the politely disinterested-because-you-are-dirt-to-me expression he wore at all times. “I just . . . you’re a good friend and I don’t want to lose you.”
“We can’t change what happened, Asher.” She hadn’t thawed an inch. One of the waitstaff moved nearby with an enormous cake, and she delicately sidestepped on the path to allow them more room. As she did, the long hem of her skirt got caught in a nearby bush and pulled taut against her body, outlining a slightly rounded stomach.
Asher’s eyes widened as realization struck him. “Greer . . . are you pregnant?”
She bit her lip and averted her gaze.

Oh fuck. She was pregnant.
“Is it . . . Is it mine?”
She looked back up again. Her eyes narrowed. She crooked her finger at him, indicating he should lean down. He did—
—And she delivered a ringing slap to his face.
