The Debt by Jackie Ashenden
5.0
This is the first book I am reading by [a:Jackie Ashenden|6577006|Jackie Ashenden|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1559250242p2/6577006.jpg], my fourth Dare title. This is Book One of The Billionaires Club Series.
Ellie Little works as a chauffeur for the high and mighty apart from being a designer in her father's supercar company, Australis. She's chauffeuring for Ash Evans in Paris and hoping that she could convince the billionaire property developer/investor to not pull out the venture capital he invested in her father's company.
Ash had finally reached that milestone which granted him a membership to the invitations-only The Billionaires Club. And he was there to rub it in his half-brother's face as well as to sabotage Sebastian Dumont's latest business deal.
This was so hilarious, especially with Ellie doing all the things that normally none of Ash's staff would ever dare do. Not taking his annoyance to heart, not letting anything affect her sunny disposition. Narrated in the first person alternately every chapter from his and her perspective, this made for a very entertaining read.
Ellie is a classic example of a brilliant mind not allowed to succeed in a male-dominated area, starting with her family members. I hadn't enjoyed the second book, which I read first, as much as I was enjoyed reading this one. Ellie has four brothers, Jason, Justin, Dev, and George.
Mmm...for the first time I'm reading voyeurism, not that explicit, in a Dare title. And I love the blase chats between the protagonists. Ellie's an Aussie badass, with a mouth to match it. Haha! All those car references had me laughing out loud but it was all so hot as well.
He's thirty-two to her twenty-five something. Since I read Book Two - [b:The Risk|44279064|The Risk (The Billionaires Club)|Caitlin Crews|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1563280317l/44279064._SY75_.jpg|68791312] first, all I can say is that the events in the books run parallel to each other. And I just realised that I love angsty protagonists more. Because outright I fell in love with this one. Ash and Ellie both have serious father issues and the way they resolve each other's moods is too sweet. And hot. And I said that again. The epilogue made me wonder that it is good that I read Book Two first because it didn't have one. The epilogue just completed the two brothers' stories.
Thank you to the author, Harlequin Publishers, and NetGalley for an e-ARC of the book.

He struck me very much like a bear with a sore paw, swiping at people who came too close.

He was a supercar in human form. Powerful, sleek, dangerous and difficult to manage. But, oh, how I wanted to manage him.
