This is the fourth book in the Brutal Billionaire Series. This is actually my first book in the series.  So the first chapter was a little confusing to me. I wasn’t sure if they were related or what since it was discussing how Ax had been teasing her forever. Now Ax and Adly have been engaging in some sort of role playing intimate relationship, where they meet have dialogue about selling or buying something that isn’t real. These moments are not only funny they are hot. Although Ax professes to be the ultimate bachelor, where he only hits something once and does not want or need a girlfriend, him and Adly have been role playing for over a year. When Ax finds out the Adly is preparing a prenup to get married he’s determined to be her husband even if it’s a secret and no one else knows. As secrets become revealed so do the real feelings they have for each other. This was very funny, banter filled, steamy romp of good times. I always think it’s a bonus to read all the books in a series in order but in this case it’s not necessary because you do eventually figure out the characters and they relation to the main characters.
