About this ebook

There are rumors about the oldest Blackstone brother. He’s ruthless, powerful, and not to be crossed. But I end up crossing him—in more ways than one.

From the moment I step inside the Blackstone estate, I feel it—

The eyes watching. Secrets lingering in the air like mist.

And him.

Jasper Blackstone. Billionaire. My college roommate’s older brother.

The man is cold, commanding, and completely off-limits.

But one shared look between us sparks something reckless. One night sets everything unraveling.

I shouldn’t want him—a man who takes what he wants without apology.

He shouldn’t want me—a journalist hunting his family’s darkest secrets.

But forbidden desire always demands a price.

And ours could destroy us both.

Intrigued is Book One of The Forbidden Billionaire Duet—a steamy, suspense-filled romance where power seduces, secrets entangle, and obsession cuts deep.

It was a great read, i could not put the book down, finished it in a full day and four hours. while doing other stuff. Honestly it was one of the best suggested books from Google play to read. definitely I would consider this a mild dark romance genre, as it has possessive type love it, just my opinion! though. I would mainly say its a Mysterious-Romance genre big time! I would also suggest to be 18+ to read the books too as it is pretty spicy in the more intimate scenes. least again in my opinion! If this is fine with you! give it a read. i recommend it! for those that dont really like reading in general this book is pretty decent that may keep you reading. :)

I enjoyed reading this book. In my opinion it is an entertaining, light read. Well written and the plot is good. The ending does want me to continue on to the next book in the series. There is a lot of mature content - at times a bit redundant - which is sexually explicit but not offensive or weird. If you're looking to read this type of novel then I recommend.
