Knight Empire, Book 1
From the author:
She’s been in love with her grumpy billionaire boss for years. Quitting should be easy. So why can’t she walk away?
Cari’s done. Three years of running Jett Knight’s life—dodging his moods, cleaning up his messes, and watching him date women who aren’t her—has finally pushed her over the edge. She’s handing in her resignation.
But Jett Knight doesn’t take orders. He gives them. And there’s no way in hell he’s letting Cari go.
He needs her—more than he’ll ever admit. His billion-dollar empire runs smoother when she’s by his side. His five-year-old daughter adores her. And the thought of Cari walking away? Unacceptable.
So he makes her an offer. One she should refuse.
But resisting Jett? That’s never been Cari’s strong suit…
JETT is an age gap, single dad, steamy billionaire boss romance. It’s the first book in a scorching billionaire series featuring six powerful brothers, a ruthless family empire, and the cold, calculating father who rules it all.
This is a self-published book, and my first read by this author.
Jett, 33, is the eldest of the Knight brothers. His personal assistant, Cari, is 24 years old, and he treats her abominably. Somehow, she has a massive crush on him, despite him sending her out to buy gifts for his girlfriend of the month, pick up his dry cleaning, and so forth. His only redeeming quality is his five-year-old daughter. Cari feels stuck in her job because she is taking care of her mother, who is ill, but when she passes, her priorities change. She finally summons up the courage to turn in her resignation. Unfortunately, Jett doesn’t even see it in the pile of mail he is neglecting.
When Jett’s nanny refuses to cut her vacation short because he forgot about a business trip, he fires her. Then he finds Cari’s letter of resignation and talks her into staying on for just a few weeks and working as his temporary nanny. She acquiesces, and they fly off on a business trip/vacation to Bermuda. Meanwhile, Jett’s father has arranged a marriage for him with a business deal in mind, but Jett is appalled and refuses to even consider it. His father, however, isn’t taking no for an answer.
Cari enjoys spending time with her young charge, even though the people she has to deal with at various social events for the kids are incredibly rude and unkind, even to the child. When Jett sees how Cari stands up for his daughter, he is truly touched.
Eventually, Jett starts falling for Cari, and their relationship takes a steamy turn. While there is a happy ending, it’s more of a happy for now than forever – at least until the next book unfolds. I dislike romance books with ambiguous endings, and the push-pull between the main characters eventually got old. Not my favorite, and I won’t be searching out the rest of this series.
