The glittering life of the ultra-rich is overwhelming, and more than a little treacherous. Serving as the date/escort to a charity gala in Paris, France, one-time temp Lucy Delacourt must learn to navigate the turbulent waters in which her billionaire boss Jeremiah Hamilton swims. Easier said than done -- Jeremiah is keeping secrets, including a deeply possessive streak that comes out when Lucy is introduced to his enigmatic brother, Lucas. Caught in their little family war, it is Lucy's own personal discovery that she might be forming an attachment to her hard boss that really rocks her world.
But some secrets held by the Hamilton men are more dangerous than others, and Lucy may have stumbled into a trap meant for another with potentially deadly consequences.
Sara Fawkes has always loved spinning tales, but her romantic roots come from sneaking her mother's old Johanna Lindsay books from the dresser drawer. She's been writing stories since she was a little girl (and has the home made books from preschool to prove it), and loves creating stories and characters and interesting messes for them to get into. An avid traveler and adventure motorcyclist, her dream job includes selling everything off and leaving civilization to see the world on two wheels, writing in cafes in each country she visits, and living off her writing. In the meantime however, she lives in California with her menagerie of pets and, when not writing, loves to rebuild old motorcycles/cars with her Dude and plays with the characters in her head. You can find her online talking about whatever strikes her fancy at:
I am enjoying the story, but these short installments seem more like buying a book by the chapter, rather than reading a short series and I hate to rate a book chapter by chapter. It is the feel of the whole that influences my personal rating.
Then there is the price....
If each of the upcoming installments costs $2.99 and there are 5 in total (the first was only $.99), the cost of the entire book will be almost $13....more that I am normally willing to pay for a new author's e-book. So far we are at an estimated 111 pages for $6.97.
Just my personal opinion, but at this point I am finding this "series" more frustrating than enjoyable.
ok soooo these are WAY too short.... so far Ive spent 7.00 for a book that I completed (all 3 parts) in 1 day,,, with a MAJOR cliffhanger at the end. Does anyone know when the next part of this will be coming out... I guess they now have me trapped... lol I MUST read what happens next!!!
Jeremiah and Lucy are in Paris and are in day 2 of their affair. They are headed to the gala where Jeremiah is the man of honor.
The character Lucas is introduced who is mysterious and intriguing. Lucas makes Jeremiah jealous by flirting and dancing with Lucy. Jeremiah no likey that. Lucy is knowing more about Jeremiah and his past.
There's limo sex, hotel sex which is rough and tender at times. Jeremiah can be very sensual when his Alpha doesn't come out. Body shot scene would have been hot but then something terrible happens and we are left in the dark...
Now in Paris we're finally getting a better insight into Lucy's personality who is not quite the doormat she appeared to be in the first two novella's. We're also starting to get caught up in Jeremiah's tangled web as the story gathers pace and depth in this one.
Of course, there's explosively hot sex and a mahoosive cliffhanger at the end.
In part three, LOVE AND WAR, things FINALLY started to get interesting.
No, not because the sex scenes got any better. There's still talk of his "bulbous" "member" "wagging," with lots of moans and groans that, quite honestly, I really just skipped through by now.
This installment honestly started out feeling a bit weird and awkward because CEO and Temp, who seemed perfectly content beginning their "relationship" with manhandling, assault, and rape, decided to hop a plane to France and have a bit of getting-to-know-you chit chat. Which, really, when he's eaten your underpants and everything after it, all of the niceties of conversation later just feel ... strange...
But, these two start yammering about war and history and Temp has the nerve to feel sorry for CEO because he might possibly feel embarassed that his ancestors were ripping people off for billions while hers were fighting in the war. Really, I don't get the idea that this Barbarian feels sorry about much of anything, but at least they stopped having weirdo elevator and airplane sex for a minute or two.
Of course, their "serious" conversation culminates in CEO demanding Temp spread her legs and give him action. *yawn*
So, Temp gets all dolled up to go to some mysterious gala of some type with CEO, where she laments that her education was wasted on her temp job because she should have been a lawyer. The reader doesn't get the notion that she's smart enough for law school, (especially after part 2 -- wow) but somehow she feels a bit more justified being a prostitute than a date entry specialist, so go figure.
In a bizarre turn of events, the "couple" meets CEO's older brother, who seems even more disturbing and predatorial than CEO. We learn that CEO was punished by his father by inheriting a multi-billion dollar company (yeah, some punishment, huh?), and his brother is angry and bitter. And brother wants to ravish Temp, so I guess this pervert stuff runs in the family.
In this segment of the story, Temp has changed her monotonous whine from the last installment, where she was constantly reminding the reader that sexual slavery was just SO outside her normal personality (which I'm not quite buying, here, Temp...). Now, instead, she tells us over and over that she barely knows this man. Yeah, NO KIDDING.
At one point, Temp nearly tells the predator that she loves him, but she immediately stops and scolds herself, saying that "I've known the man for, what, two days? Certainly not long enough to declare any kind of affection." You're right -- it's not long enough to express emotion but it's DEFINITELY long enough to be raped, ravished, and humiliated by a complete and utter stranger, right?
The end is where things really started to get good, though. After dumb Temp spent a few minutes wondering why she "obeyed" CEO so quickly, she got poisoned.
And then it ended.
The poison alone ALMOST (but not quite) makes me want to bump it up to THREE stars!
LOL!

At the Charity Gala Lucy meets Jeremiah's brother, Lucas. There is much conflict between these two brothers. Jeremiah is extremely possessive and Lucy is starting to form an attachment to him. Lucy runs into an old friend of hers and her husband who are running a medical clinic in Borneo and hope to raise donations for their work. Lucy ends up helping them raise money at this charity gala by going around and working the crowd and people there for their donations.
I am loving these books (short stories). I do agree with almost all the other reviews in the fact that we will end up paying alot for this entire book and it does seem unfair.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
The third book in this little series. I found a bit of 'story' to be introduced this time around, and that the relationships with others are really starting to come out in the series, including a lovely twist with Jeremiah and his brother. Another book I just couldn't put down, and read all at once. Am definately going to be finishing this series ASAP. *Contains elicit sex scenes, not for all readers
It wasnt meant for her or was it? Lucy is Jeremiah's assistant while they are in Paris. The fundraiser they are attending brings light to Jeremiah's past and looking into his brother's eyes there may be more secrets that have yet to be revealed.
The more time Lucy spends with Jeremiah the more she wants what she doesnt think he is willing to give. But the unthinkable happens and his world may fall into tiny pieces and he may not be able to put them back to right.
This was a fun book - Jeremiah is becoming possessive, and when they get to the Gala, they're in for a shock. Lucas is there. And he has his eyes on Lucy.
You can see where this is going. Jeremiah is not happy about Lucas dancing with Lucy, even if Lucy is trying to pull away from Lucas's death grip ...
Oh my god!!! I am left speechless. I can't believe how it ended?!?! I need to know what happens. Finally when Lucy and Jeremiah seem to be getting somewhere and it all comes to a halt. What happens next?????
I enjoy the story line of this series. However the books are so short it is similar to buying chapters and not books...it would be great to read the entire story in one book.
This novel was my introduction into the world of erotica, and yes, BDSM. Even though, I have read several others ever since, this series remains somewhat a favorite.
It begins so beautifully, the first three books (novellas) are just perfect. However, soon after that, it takes a sudden dip. Everything goes haywire, and nothing seems to be working for the characters or the story anymore.
Épisode 3 de notre série Anything he wants! Alors là, moi je dis : si j’aimais il y a une vrai série de ce roman, je veux que chaque épisode correspond à chacun des mini tomes. Parce qu’on est parti dans une aventure à couper le souffle.
Dans l’épisode précédent, Lucy signe son contrat de "soumission" et accepte d’être "tout ce que veux" Jérémiah. Ce qui sous entends : travail et sexe. Pour le moment, elle apprécie son rôle de femme et de secrétaire. Et dans cette épisode, nous voyons l’arrivé de deux protagonistes qui ne risque pas d’être oublié de sitôt : il s’agit du frère ainé de Jérémiah et d’Anya qui est son assistante personnelle. On apprends au cours du feuilleton, qu’elle a travaillé pour le cadet puis pour l’ainé suite à une trahison de sa part (bouuuhhhh la nullleeeee) bref!
Parlons de ce frère ainé. Oh grand dame! Ce mec est le portrait craché de son cadet à un détail près. L’emploi. Lui est ce qu’on pourrait appeler un bad boy. Il est du côté du mauvais côté de la voie et ça ne plait pas à tout le monde. Bien sûr ça se ressent direct. Jérémiah se met en position possessive envers Lucy qui, elle, se retrouve prise entre deux feux. (Et attise, par la même occasion, la jalousie d’Anya). Moi j’aimerais l’avoir pour mon diner celui là!
Bref, un épisode comme on les aime avec un truc en plus à la fin , qui m’as donné envie de connaitre la suite : la tentative d’assassinat de Jérémiah qui se transforme en tentative d’assassinat de Lucy.
It's been a sexy and exciting time for me to read the third book of the series Dominated by the Billionaire, entitled Anything He Wants 3: Love and War.
Well, in this book, Jeremiah becomes more possessive than ever towards Lucy Delacourt. After their hot and passionate sex in the second book, we now proceed to the charity event that Jeremiah is supposed to attend together with his date and companion, Lucy. Unbeknownst to her, Lucy will be a part of a family feud that will destroy something very important, the one thing that's left of her - trust.
There's a lot of surprises that's in store for you in Anything He Wants: Love and War. So better get your copy now folks!
The author, Sara Fawkes, amazed me again and again at how she can be passionate in her writing coupled with her own beautiful and detailed way of storytelling. This can never be enough to tell you how wonderful the story is, just read, 'kay?
yeah. yeah.. dan seperti yang saya bilang sebelumnya di review yang ini dan yang ini, mungkin disini sudah ada sedikit perbaikan dari gaya penulisan maupun gaya yang bikin saya pensaran.
tentang masa lalu jeremiah.. who are him trutfully? and then.. the conflict began. munculnya mantan pacar jeremiah, ibu jeremiah, kakak/adiknya *gue lupa* jeremiah, dan lucy yang mulai merasa jatuh cinta kepada jeremiah membuat konflik yang ada pada novel ini mulai terasa... dan baru nyadar kalo di buku 3 ini bdsm-nya terasa dan cukup membuat saya panas dingin. *guyur es batu*
dan sedikit lebih cepat, kejahatan yang dituduhkan jeremiah kepada lucas, adiknya yang ternyata sama menggodanya ternyata salah duga. uang yang diduga digelapkan oleh adiknya ternyata digelapkan oleh ibunya sendiri yang memang mata duitan. *heleh* sinetron banget ga, sih?
disini si jeremiah juga udah mule menyadari bahwa keinginan dan hasratnya untuk terus bersama lucy bukanlah demi kepuasan duniawi(?) belaka. melainkan, karena sudah tumbuhnya benih-benih cinta diantara dirinya. haduh... makin pusing aja dah bacanya. @.@ tapi, tetep... lanjut..
Memasuki buku ke tiga.... Hmm, masih terlalu singkat menurut gw sih....... Tapi, kemunculan Lucas sedikit banyak telah "mewarnai" kisah ini....[image error]
Konflik mule muncuL...kisahnya pun jd ga gitu monoton, ga melulu adegan uhuk2 aja.....[image error]
seperti biasa, endingnya di bikin gantung... Mana pas seru2nya pula ! [image error] Lanjuuuuuuuuuut !!!!!!! [image error]
well..... brp bintang yah ??? Hmmmm.... 2.5 aja deh...... [image error]
Dikisah bagian ketiga, sebagai asisten Jeremiah, Lucy diharuskan mendampingi bosnya itu menghadiri acara gala dinner di Paris.
Di acara gala dinner tersebut mereka berdua disambut Lucas saudara Jeremiah dan Anya mantan asisten Jeremiah yg membelot pada Lucas. Ternyata antara Lucas dan Jeremiah pernah ada konflik yg membuat keduanya sepertinya saling membenci (Lucas dituduh mencuri uang dari perusahaan yg diwariskan ayah mereka kepada Jeremiah). Jeremiah sempat murka saat Lucas melakukan pendekatan terhadap Lucy. Jeremiah tidak ingin Lucy menanggapi pria selain dirinya.
Sekembali dari acara tersebut dan seusai pesta pribadi mereka berdua, Lucy menerima kiriman anggur yg dengan tanpa rasa curiga mereka nikmati. Jeremiah meminta Lucy meminum anggur tersebut yg mengakibatkan insiden yg hampir mematikan.
One: - The Evil Twin was the only thing that differentiated the installment (and book so far) from
Two: - Haven't anyone told these two idiots to never accept things from strangers? Why would somebody just give them champagne, huh? I demand they have a personal taster! (LOL!)
Three: - WHY COULDN'T this be ONE book instead of five PARTS that form a book? (or however many there are going to be) It was SOO SHORT!
Mmk this one is kinda better because we get a little more story about Jeremiah and some drama.
********SPOILER*******
Okay so charity event. Fancy dressing, Lucy thinking she "knows" him. Oh here comes his brother! These two don't get along and brother is bed buddies with Jeremiah's old assistant(real or sex idk). Anywho, brother puts moves on Lucy, Remi not happy at all. Puts foot down, fingers in, penis in and makes sure that Lucy knows who she now belongs to! Lucy feels love. It's been 2 days chick, rmfe.
Some mystery champaign seems to have knocked Lucy out. DUN DUN DUN
It just keeps getting better and better. Sara Fawkes is doing an amazing job keeping me strapped to my chair. Lucy and Jeremiah are attending a charity gala. We learn of a heated sibling rivalry and how possessive Jeremiah can be towards Lucy. The story is exciting and thrilling. I can’t believe what happened at the end. You will have to read to find out and I’m off to read part 4. I need to know what happens.
This is one is by far the best! WE are in Paris attending the ever important Gala. Where yet again the masterful CEO Remi leaves Lucy to fend for herself while he mingles. She runs into an old friend from college, and old "personal assistant" of Remi's and Lucas, Remi's brother. We get a little bit about both of their pasts and more hot sex.
Whats intriguing is now we get mystery gifts and some twists and turns pulling you more into the story just to find out what happens.
OMG!! Things got complicated further in book 3! Once at the gala, Lucy meets Lucas and Jeremiah is not a happy camper! I saw the relationship deepen for both, even though it was a bit subtle for Jeremiah. The sex of course is great!! The end was a surprise and I can't wait to read more of this story!!!
For $2.99 these books are way too short! This is the reason for the 3 stars. I feel like I'm paying for a chapter rather than a short book. It's making me crazy. I'm torn. Do I want to pay for it to know how the story ends? Or do I just leave it alone and be done with it. I can see the potential in the story and I'm completely invested now. Grr!!!
WHAT?! This one has more meat, I love the gala scene and the cliff-hanger, OMG, that was good. I will write my full review here Anything he wantswhen I finish.
Does it consider cheating that each 3-5 chapters of this book counts as a book on Goodreads? I feel like it's cheating :(
ANYWAY, so bam, they are in Paris, more sex, more self-doubt, etc, etc. BIG THING HAPPENS. ACTUAL ~ACTUAL~ plot occurs. Actually this one is more interesting so I gave it an extra actual star.
Feeling bored as story seems to be repetative. Yeah..what else is new. Lucy have an insatiable desire for her boss.
Good thingvis yhe added twist of lucas and the surprise ending.
Once again I am saying the story is too short. For goodness sake is the subsequent books gonna be so short? Then might as well combined them into one ir two books
Favorite story so far...enter his brother who is trying to make him jealous. He sort of has a sweet side comming out and I cant wait to see it! Still in Paris...great ending, cant wait to read the next one....
