Taking on the Billionaire: A surprise pregnancy romance

Taking on the Billionaire was a fast-paced, steamy read with a bit of intrigue, a hint of betrayal, and whole lot of heart – despite both characters not looking for anything more than a short-term affair and certainly not anything that had their hearts involved! Adam and Tess were one of those couples who had sparks flying every time they were in any sort of proximity to each other. Once they cross the line and act on that chemistry there were plenty of steamy times, but there were also so many other times where you could feel the connection between these two. I loved how Adam took care of Tess when she became sick, and it was also sweet how Tess was always offering such a great perspective on his new relationship with his two siblings he has just found (the job that he initially hired Tess for). I did think Adam’s reaction when some truths come out was a bit harsher than I expected, but I loved how things ended up and were resolved, so just like Tess, it was easy to quickly forgive and move on! I am totally intrigued by the series arc – books that will feature Adam’s two siblings. I can’t wait to learn more about both of them. Knowing that the next book Sarina, Adam’s sister, and his business partner, Justin, are featured has me looking forward to that February release! Robin Covington has delivered on all fronts with her first Harlequin Desire romance. I did feel that this book had a bit of an edgier tone to it than some other books in this imprint I have read, but it totally worked for the story and the characters. Well done – a definite must for anyone looking for a quick, steamy read that checks off all the boxes of a Harlequin Desire!

I really enjoyed this emotional and steamy romance. It is a roller coaster ride with witty banter, push/pull emotions, and steamy passion which is everything I crave to read. Adam Redhawk was torn from his family and roots as a young boy. Now he is co-founder and CEO of a successful tech business with his partner and best friend Justin Ling. But he misses his siblings and hires Private Investigator, Tess Lynch, to find them. Tess easily finds them so he hires her again to solve a mystery within his own company. It could also maybe have a little something to do with how much he was attracted to this smart, and sexy woman. Tess has her own reasons for working with Adam, and the more she works with him, the more she falls for him as well. But her reasons and secrets could put his business at risk, tearing them apart before they even begin! I loved Adam and Tess together. They were both self-made, independent, but also completely in sync with each other, and their chemistry was off the charts. I loved how this is about interracial characters, without making it a big deal, making it feel more real and honest. All the friends and family were intriguing and fun and I can't wait to read more about them as well. What a great start to Redhawk Reunion series and I can't wait for Justin and Sarina's story next!

Tess and Adam’s story in Taking On the Billionaire by Robin Covington, book one in her Redhawk Reunion series, was amazing, emotional, and sizzling hot. Investigator Tess Lynch had just wrapped up finding the brother and sister of Adam Redhawk as the three had been separated, as children, by social services when he asked for her help on another matter. Adam, a self-made tech billionaire, needed to find a mole within his company who could ruin the release of a new app. As the two work long hours into the night, the attraction between them is off the charts and their electricity could power their office building. As Tess and Adam succumb to their passion they find themselves falling for each other; something neither expected to ever happen. Tess has her own secrets dealing with how Adam’s adoptive father ruined her father. When an unexpected consequence occurs at the same time Tess’s secret is revealed, Adam needs to determine his priorities and how to make them happen. Ms. Covington wrote an erotic, emotional and moving story filled with sizzling chemistry, determination, and endearing characters that is not to be missed. I highly recommend Taking On the Billionaire to other readers. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
