The Big Bad Billionaire (Billionaire Fairy Tales) by Jackie Ashenden  
Love in all it's tragic glory turns into an empowering tale of happily ever after.  Ms. Ashenden breaks down barriers and tunnels deep into the soul of her readers.  The Big Bad Billionaire is a haunting story of obsession, romance and so much pain.  Ella and Rafe share a bond that has remained embedded in their souls.  It borders on manic, but it seems almost ethereal.  The misunderstood little boy has now become an embittered adult with a multitude of agendas and an obsession to gain back all he's lost.  Including the angel that has flitted through his mind and held a claim on his heart for years.  Can the broken man find redemption in the scared young woman that has yet to discover her own strength?  There were so many moments that I could barely breath from all the emotions.  Part Phantom of the Opera, part Little Red Riding Hood, Ella and Rafe dance to the beat of their own drum and the melody is one not easily ignored.

Uff how I'd have loved to punch Rafe DeSantis in the face. All through this book he really ticked me off with the way he treated Ella. But as you get towards the end of the book and more about his childhood is revealed, you actually begin to feel sorry for him and want to punch his parents and grandfather instead. Ella is one brave girl to face Rafe the way she does. She crashes through the walls he has built up around him and see his true self. I was rooting for Ella all the way.

I received an Advanced Reviewers Copy from the Publisher via #NetGalley for voluntary review consideration.

An ok story, I felt it a little rushed though, especially Red's acceptance of Wolf's hot treatment of her seeing as he's her guardian. But apart from that, the story becomes quite an interesting character book and has a good storyline. ( )

The Big, Bad Billionaire by Jackie Ashenden
Billionaire Fairy Tales #4

A book you will love or hate…and so say the reviews.

At first I felt that Rafe was a manipulative jerk that wanted what he wanted and would do anything to get it…no matter what. Setting his eyes on Ella and pushing her into spending time with him seemed wrong in many ways BUT as I got to know Rafe and how he had been raised his behavior did make more sense.

There was an age gap between Rafe and Ella of about twelve years. I don’t find that so great except that Ella at twenty was rather naïve, sheltered and anxious so a stronger more dominant older male might not have been the best partner for her…though the book does work and the two do bring peace to one another once they get things worked out.

I felt so sorry for both Rafe and Ella. There were traumas in their lives neither really deserved. There are no doubt people who live such lives but reading about them is not always easy. The issues that might bother some are not easily shared without giving away a significant portion of at least one backstory so…just be warned this is dark and there might be issues for some of you considering reading this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press-Swerve for the ARC – This is my honest review.
