Jade Sinclair became a billionaire overnight when she found out she and her brother's are the bastard children of a now dead rich man. Going from a poor recently graduated PhD student to billionaire is pretty mind boggling, and Jade spends a lot of time whining about how hard it is...what? Girl, go study your damn animals wherever you want!

When Jade finally decides to spend some money, she's set on buying a plot of land that will help ensure biodiversity, but she has to convince fellow billionaire Eli Stone to sell it to her. Well, Eli Stone is not interested in selling the land to Jade, but he is interested in fucking her.

What follows is an actually pretty tame romance between two billionaires. I was at first happy to hear the dirty talk in the beginning, but then everything just stretched on and on. Jade has so many conversations with her siblings and other characters about her doubts about why Eli is attracted to her, can't fathom that she is actually pretty, and how hard it is to have money. She's also insistent on not paying for her own way into a research job and finds it hard to figure out what to do with her money. Um, if you were a real PhD student, I can't fathom you wouldn't know about a hundred people with projects desperate for funding. Maybe start there?

So, after Jade accepts Eli's proposal of spending 10 days with him but insisting she will never sleep with him (ha, yeah right), she soon gives in. Then a terrible accident happens, spinning into a ridiculous ending and a fairly lame misunderstanding keeping the two apart.

I did read the whole thing, but the story was so uneven. I'm hoping this author will work on some of these inconsistencies because the premise is good.
