Bad Billionaire (Bad Billionaires Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Julie Kriss (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 2,600 ratings
What happens when an ex-con inherits a billion dollars? Very bad things.

Devon Wilder is a mystery. To me, he’s Mister Hot, Dark, and Handsome, the neighbor I watch from the window, wondering what he’s really like.

Turns out, he’s a thief. A getaway driver. He gives me the hottest night of my life before he’s put away for taking the wrong job.

When he’s gone, I try to forget about him and get on with my normal, unexciting life. Until he gets out, and an inheritance makes him a billionaire.

Now Devon is back. He’s the richest ex-con you’ve ever seen. He doesn’t care about penthouses, fancy dinners, or private jets. He doesn’t care that his enemies are after him. He doesn’t care that everything is about to go up in flames.

In his world of chaos, Devon Wilder says he only cares about one thing. Me.

    I just got to say what an amazing writer Julie kriss is! I finished another book of hers and have been hoping there'll be a follow up and while looking I stubbled across this one.
    I've really gone off these billionaire books and to be honest I wouldn't even refer to this book the same as those because it wasn't like that at all.
    I absolutely loved it I loved the characters the story the sex, defiantly the sex. There wasn't any dilly dallying around it's straight to the point and I ended up reading it in a day or so.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2018

    I’m no one. A mechanic. A getaway driver. A thief.

    I was born on the streets, and I like it rough — life, women, everything. My job is dirty. My past is dirty. So is my future.

    Until I get out of prison and discover I’ve inherited a billion dollars.

    I’m not a good billionaire. I don’t care about penthouses, fancy dinners, or private jets. I don’t care about life and death. Hell, I don’t even care about money. I’m willing to spend every penny of it on one thing.

    Find the woman who gave me one unforgettable night before I went down. The woman who is too good for me. The woman I can never have.

    Find her. Get revenge on the man that hurt her. And make her mine.

    I don't usually read Billionaire books after a slew of them hit Amazon in the wake of FSOG. I downloaded this because it was a freebie and started to read it yesterday morning. That I've finished it this morning should tell you it's a good read. Julie Kriss didn't waste time on too much backstory, just enough to fill you in on what you need to know. Hot characters, hot sex, and just enough conflict to keep you reading. Looking forward to the next one in the series.

    I like the billionaire stories but this one is slightly different. He didn't grow up with money, he used to live on the streets. He's a mechanic that drives for extra cash. She works at a graphic design studio and she lives across from the mechanic.

    I started reading this and thought it would be just another bad boy book but I'm happy to say it is quite a lot more. Not only is Devon a hot bad boy but he has depth and intelligence, someone you might like as well as drool over. What can I say, I've bought the rest of this series so far 😁

    Olivia is your straight forward never been in trouble sort of a girl and she meets tall dark and handsome Devon. He is a bad boy but with her he is different. The chemistry between them is off the charts and after one night together he disappears. Good read.

    livre écrit à la première personne, mais on a les points de vues du héro et de l'héroïne en alternance.
    Le héro est sexy, virile, bad boy, intelligent, protecteur... bref, un héro comme on les aime ! (ah, et pour une fois, il ne se tape pas des femmes à tire larigot !).
    L'héroïne est sympa, sexy, courageuse, et on comprend bien pourquoi le héro tombe amoureux d'elle.
    Le scénario est bien ficelé (bien qu'un peu rapide sur la fin), et je ne me suis pas ennuyée une seconde.
    Bref, j'ai adoré et je vous le recommande chaudement.

    I absolutely loved this book. It's not your usual over entitled Billionaire chasing after a poor young thing who has no self esteem. No, this is a love story with a whole lot of bad boy thrown into the mix. Can't wait to read the follow up.

    Reviewed in India on 15 February 2019

    This book falls into one of my most favorite genres to read. Where our hero goes to prison and after coming back continues his romance with our heroine.
    Devon is the mysterious guy/neighbor, on whom Olivia has been secretly watching from the safety of her window and crushing on him hard. She has no idea what he does foe a living or even his freaking name until one fine rainy night brings them together. Soon things happen that take Devon behind the bars but not before Olivia gets her fantasy fulfilled of a hot and steamy night with him.
    Although Devon tells her that he will find her one day, she has no idea as to where he disappears after their night together or what happened to him. She does wait for him but how long should you wait for a person about whom you know nothing about.
    This book was definitely a delight to read. Devon is smoking hot and life has given him some really trying times until lady luck decides to finally shine on him.
    Olivia is just sweet yet independent and also caring. She's artistic, has a mind of her own and is just not afraid to dive into the unknown.
    I had absolute fun reading this story and definitely will devour the next book in the series as all the other characters has me equally intrigued. Like Olivia's sister, Gwen who is just so unusual and devon's friend max, his brother cavan who nobody knows where he is even and my fav his lawyer, Ben. So definitely continuing the series. Loved loved this one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An alpha male book that genuinely surprised me
    Reviewed in the United States on 17 March 2019
    Verified Purchase
    If you ever need a billionaire, bad boy, alpha male romance to restore your faith in the genre then this is the book to do it.

    Devon is not your typical billionaire... In fact he's not a billionaire at all. He's just a small time hood, making ends meet by fixing cars and driving the getaway van. He's not a good guy. He's not a nice guy. He's rude. He's crude. He's got a troubled past. He likes his sex rough. But he not another example of toxic masculinity in romance. There's depth to him. More than I expected or gave him credit for.

    Olivia is your typical heroine. She's stuck in a dead end job. She lives in a rundown apartment. She's been forced to give up her dreams for the reality of life. She's relatable which most romance heroines are. But that isn't a bad thing. She's well rounded. She's got goals and interests separate from the hero, but you never doubt their connection. This book Passes the bechdel test. And Olivia's struggles seem real. Even better she isn't too stupid to live.

    This whole book surprised me. But in the best of ways. I read it straight through until 5am, because I didn't want to put it down. It was a glass of water after a long dry spell filled with dnf'd books, clunky prose, and cliched characters. This book had none of those.

    I plan on recommending this book far and wide and buying the next one when I can afford it.

    As it stands,

    Five stars.
