Book Review: Enamored by J.S. Scott

Enamored (The Accidental Billionaires Book 3)

A love story full of hope but also filled with anguish and misery, “Enamored” is a Pandora’s box. Readers will love it yet hate some of its parts at the same time. A word of warning though, the book talks about child sexual abuse. So, if it is a trigger, please be aware.

The third book of the Accidental Billionaires series, “Enamored” follows Seth Sinclair, a former construction worked turned real estate mogul and developer and Riley Montgomery, Harvard law graduate and an environmental lawyer.

It was a chance meeting in a coffee shop. Seth, whose good looks would turn heads no matter what just became the target of social climbers who just wants his money. Usually, Seth just ignores them so he was surprised when a beautiful woman who could only be described as a bombshell helped him out by laying claim on him thus shooing all the other women away.

That incident could have been the best segue to ask her for a date, i.e., until they became aware of their identities that established themselves as mortal enemies.

After that incident, they continued to communicate with each other with more legalese than pick up lines. Yet, somehow, both Seth and Riley were able to exchange personal tidbits.

Then, the inevitable happened. Seth was willing to give up the piece of land that Riley wanted to turn into a bird sanctuary with one condition – Riley will be Seth’s date in formal function for one month.

That led to Seth and Riley spending more time together. Somewhere along the way, they started sharing personal histories and what they found out about each other surprised them both.

They knew they were falling in love. But, it is only a matter of time that the baggage they carry from their past blow up in their faces. So, the question becomes – will they trust each other enough with their hearts.

A beautiful read that is as much as optimistic as it is heartbreaking, “Enamored” will capture your attention from the first page to the last. You will fall in love with Seth and Riley. Their story is not a tearjerker, but it will definitely tug at your heartstrings.

I received an ARC of this book, but I was not able to read it before it was released because of my tight schedule. So, when it popped up at Audible on release day, I immediately downloaded it.

This is my first listen for Elizabeth Powers and she is very good. I like her. But, “Enamored” should have been a dual narration. It written with that in mind because the chapters for Riley and Seth were well defined.

Nothing against Powers; like what I said, she did very well as a narrator. But, I don’t understand why the producers decided to use just one narrator instead of two. It would have been a more enjoyable listen with male and female narrators.

Enamoredis Rated M for Mature due to sexual content and child abuse discussions. Parental guidance I strongly advised.
