She’s been working to build a name for herself and when the chance to make partner at her firm becomes available, she jumps at the chance. But the only way to achieve that distinction is to find a commercial property for the guy she’s nicknamed ‘Golden Boy’ from all the stories her father told about him.

Heartwarming romance

This sweet and tender heartwarming romance immediately captivated me and kept me totally involved in all that was happening until I read the last word and I loved every minute. I enjoyed the instant attraction and undeniable chemistry between Jackson Walker who grew up in the Australian foster system and Hailey Montgomery, daughter of Jackson's beloved football coach who he meets when goes to California for his funeral. If you enjoy wholesome contemporary romance with characters you root for and a story that warms your heart and leaves a smile on your face, don't miss The Australian Billionaire. I received an advance reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review. I liked it so much I purchased a copy to read again.

Contemporary romance

Jackson was not your typical billionaire. He was a self made man. That is unless you count the love and support he got from his football coach. He was a foster child that grew up having very little. But he found a special bond with his coach.
The coach’s daughter resented Jackson for all the attention she felt he stole from her with her father. She also couldn’t stand athletes or people with money due to her ex-boyfriends treatment of her.
So when Hailey finally meets Jackson at her fathers funeral she is not impressed. This is especially true when she finds out he is a billionaire.
This story is about moving beyond stereotypes and seeing the real person beneath the surface. Although I was surprised by how quickly they developed feelings for each other. But it was a cute story.

U.S. Meets Australia Love

Super read kept reading just to see what was going to happen. Bailey and Jackson made a cute couple. I like the characters of Penny and Jackson.

The Australian Billionaire

Sweet, heartwarming, enjoyable and captivating are just a few words I would use to describe this story. An enemies to lovers romance that will keep you turning the page until you reach the end. The characters are realistic, enjoyable, easy to relate to and easy to get to know. A perfect weekend read.

Really cute

I liked this book, up until the end. The writing is good, the pacing is swift but not too fast, and it thoughtfully addresses important topics like domestic violence/partner abuse, xenophobia, foster care/social services, and prejudice.

This book neatly sets up the series: I presume all 10 IBC members will eventually have their own books. That strikes me as ambitious, but I hope the author succeeds. I’d really love one or more of the guys to be partnered with a non-traditional heroine, someone who’s BIPOC, fat/Superfat (without diet talk and intentional weight loss), disabled, or all three.

Lack of diversity aside, the thing I disliked about this book is the use of the miscommunication trope. After one person is assaulted by a previous partner, the current partner refuses to listen to the explanation of the situation. What happened afterward was interesting, but there are better ways to make that part happen. The miscommunication trope is waaaaay overused to the point of being cliche. The rest of the book was intelligent; the conflict should have been clever as well.
