Nik and Sara have a lot in common. Both have had difficulties in their personal lives. From a young age and despite trying to out run the past each gets sucked back into the darkness they have worked to break free of. I received an ARC of Billionaire Blackmail in exchange for an honest review. Behind the shell of ruthlessness Nik has built around himself lives a man that needs tender loving care. His childhood has made it hard for him to allow vulnerability in. He wants love but is scared to seek it out and get nothing in return but the pain he knows it entails. Sara is the other side of the coin, she wears her heart on her sleeve for all to see and that weakness allows her to be hurt and manipulated by the people she loves most. Protecting her family could end up costing her everything including her freedom. Ms. Aimes is gifted in that she takes a story with a grim story line and ends up writing an inspiring and sensual look at the benefits and pitfalls of love.
