REVIEW: A BILLIONAIRE BETWEEN THE SHEETS is the first installment in Katie Lane’s contemporary, adult THE UNEXPECTED BILLIONAIRES romance series. This is lingerie designer Olivia Harrington, and Deacon Beaumont’s storyline.

Told from dual third person perspectives A BILLIONAIRE BETWEEN THE SHEETS focuses on the French Kiss lingerie company, and the new owners Deacon, Grayson and Nash Beaumont-three brothers from the Louisiana Bayou who inherited controlling stocks in their uncle’s dying business. Deacon, Grayson, Nash and their father Donny Jon Beaumont are the poor Beaumont’s from the other side of the tracks, and it has been years since their uncle wanted anything to do with this side of the family. Enter Olivia Harrington, their uncle’s step daughter, and the woman who offers the brothers fifty-million dollars each for their shares in French Kiss lingerie. What ensues is Deacon’s endeavor to save the company from bankruptcy while fighting off his feelings for Olivia Harrington.

The storyline follows the building relationship between Olivia and Deacon, and Deacon’s desire to destroy the man who left everything he owned to the Beaumont brothers. Deacon believes there is more to ‘uncle Michael’ than anyone knows, and he is willing to destroy the man’s reputation and name by taking over the company and proving the previous owner knew nothing about running a successful business. But first, Deacon sets out to seduce Olivia Harrington hoping to ensure that ownership stays in the brother’s hands. The romance takes our couple from New York to Paris, elegant dinners and quickies in the boardroom-the $ex scenes are intimate without the use of graphic erotic imagery.

We are introduced to Deacon’s brothers-Nash and Grayson-a couple of lighthearted brothers who are willing to step up and help Olivia with what needs to be done. We are also introduced to several employees of French Kiss lingerie including PA Kelly, attorney Jason, and French designer Babette who likes to bedazzle men’s thongs and underwear; and Olivia’s eccentric and naked neighbors who are more like former hippies than aging members of society.

A BILLIONAIRE BETWEEN THE SHEETS has a little bit of everything: intrigue, mystery and suspense; sex, romance and love; family secrets, lies and misunderstandings. The premise is entertaining and fast paced; the characters are colorful, animated –the Beaumont brothers are full of mischief and fun; the romance is a roller coaster ride to a happily ever after. Katie Lane’s A BILLIONAIRE BETWEEN THE SHEETS is a fun, flirty and great introduction to a new series about billionaire brothers and the women they love.
