Billionaire Undaunted ~ Zane (Colorado Billionaires #4) (The Billionaire's Obsession Book 9) Kindle Edition

by J. S. Scott (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 7,487 ratings

My name is Ellie Winters, and I’m one of those unfortunate women you hear about on the news—but you never think my fate will ever happen to you. Not that I blame you for believing that. Honestly, I thought the same thing, until I became a statistic, a missing person who was assumed dead. Wrong place, wrong time.

Except…I’m not dead. Not yet. I was kidnapped, shackled, beaten, and deprived of the basic necessities, and pretty much left to find a slow, painful demise. I’m hanging on, but just barely. I’m not even sure what I’m waiting for since there’s no hope for me, nobody waiting for me. I had finally given up, resigned myself to my inevitable death…when the one man who could make me want to live again finds me more dead than alive. After so many months in captivity, I’m lost, hopelessly damaged. Is it even possible for me to come out of the darkness and into the light again? Zane Colter challenges me to live again, laugh again, live my life again. But I’m not sure if I’ll ever be the same woman I was before I was held captive by a madman. Yet, he doesn’t give up, and I couldn’t ignore the white-hot passion that sizzled between the two of us.

He’s everything I’ve ever wanted, everything I’ve always needed.

Tender--but stubborn. Logical--but understanding. Sweet--but hot, demanding and possessive. As we fall into each other, both hungry for a passion we’ve never known, I wonder if I can be what Zane needs when I’m struggling to find myself again. And when I’m finally healed, I’ll have a choice to make: Do I try to hang onto him forever, or will letting go be my only option?..

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly Sexy Billionaire Zane Colter makes my toes curl!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    “I think I’ve spent my whole life waiting for you to find me in one way or another.”

    True confession: I have a major crush on gorgeous billionaire Zane Colter! Seriously this hunkalicious genius scientist with the heart of pure gold can swoop to my rescue anytime!

    And that is EXACTLY what he does with his younger sister Chloe’s best friend, Ellie Winters. He has had a thing for her since he was in high school but she was too young, too off limits for anything other than friendship. But when she stumbles upon incriminating evidence against her boss, James (who also happens to be her best friend’s deranged ex) he kidnaps her, tortures her and leaves her for dead before offing himself. The book opens seven months later, and all of her grief-stricken family and friends have given up on finding her alive. Everyone that is except Zane. He never quit on her. Not for one single second.

    Picking up where the previous book, BILLIONAIRE UNBOUND, leaves off, this story opens with the scientist tycoon following a sequence of forensic evidence and finally tracking Ellie down in a deserted mountain cabin, in the midst of a raging blizzard. But the sight before him nearly brings him to his knees. The naked, filthy, helpless victim who’s curled up in a fetal position, shackled to a wall, nearly starved to death, resembles nothing of the sweet, curvaceous, vibrant girl he secretly covets. All his fierce protective instincts rise to the surface and he frantically releases her from her imprisoning binds, then scoops her up into his strong, sheltering arms, vowing not only to see her through the most harrowing ordeal of her life, but to grant every wish she’s ever had, make her smile again, help her heal, body and soul!

    Ahhhh!!!! The feels! The passion! The aching tenderness! This book has it all!! This intensely emotional love story captivated my heart from start to finish. It made me sigh. Swoon. Shed tears of heartbreak and joy. And filled me with such breathless pleasure I could hardly contain myself. I love every book I have read in the Billionaire Obsession series, but J.S. Scott truly astounds with BILLIONAIRE UNDAUNTED. When I first read the blurb for this book, I was a bit concerned whether it would be a bit of a downer, but this mega talented author truly did this story justice and did not sugar coat the tougher moments either. I appreciated the author’s sensitive depiction here of showcasing Ellie’s recovery in real time throughout. It was a slow, often painstaking journey that Ellie underwent as she evolved from traumatized victim to a whole, vibrant woman again. There were no easy fixes here. She was treated in the hospital, got intensive therapy, had her good days and bad. But the hero was there every step of the way. To soothe her. Shelter her. Nurture and care for her. And kiss her breathless until her toes curled!

    What I truly relished about this romance, aside from the sensitive depiction of a kidnap victim’s slow path to recovery, was that at its core this was a love story about two social misfits who embrace love against unspeakable odds. And of course one of the big draws is the hero!! Geek is totally swoony these days, and Zane is such a unique billionaire! I truly adored him in all his big, brawny, sweetly awkward splendor! He is kind, handsome, fiercely protective and blunt to a fault, a bona fide genius who charms the reader in his own off kilter way! And did I mention hot? Broodingly sexy, mouthwateringly yummy, make my princess parts tingle hot!

    As for Ellie, she is such a strong, courageous, resilient heroine! But she has to learn to lean on others—particularly the hero--to help her heal her emotional and physical scars incurred from her horrifying ordeal. And true to his word, Zane literally brings her back to life again. This couple is just magical, in large part because they are two square pegs who fit so perfectly together! The fact that Zane is not the life of the party and is socially award makes him that much more attractive to Ellie, and I also love how the heroine has her self-esteem issues to grapple with as well. But through the hero’s tireless support and devotion she not only gets physically stronger but learns to conquer her fears and ultimately thrive.

    This couple truly shines because they embrace each other’s differences and accept one another for who they were…not who society expects them to be. I also enjoyed the slow, sweet burn between Zane and Ellie. They don’t immediately hop into bed, and when they finally do consummate their union, it is incredibly special and MEANS something! Their chemistry is an intoxicating blend of raw carnal possession and gentle tenderness. The intimacy of their primal connection is physically explosive and blissfully emotional and filled this reader’s heart with a plethora of breathless pleasure!

    Throw the rowdy Colter clan—Blake, Marcus, Chloe, Tate-- and all their mates into the mix, and it injects a nice nose of heartwarming humor into the plot to balance out the angstier moments in the story. There is also a nice suspense thread throughout and a huge dramatic twist at the end that incites all the Colters and their significant others to band together in wildly unexpected ways!

    Five smoldering stars for BILLIONAIRE UNDAUNTED!

    Ellie sawed and jerked on a particularly tight piece of rope as she answered, “Well, I couldn’t handle him killing you. It would have been like he killed me, too. Even though you aren’t being particularly pleasant right now, I love your stubborn ass, Zane Colter, and I wasn’t about to give up on you. You never gave up on me.” Ellie spoke her mantra again, hoping it would be the last time she needed to say it. The rope finally gave, and she was able to finally free Zane from his prison. He had to be sore. He hadn’t been able to move all night. Marcus, Tate, and Lara ran over to Zane the moment the police took Sean out of the office in handcuffs. “You okay?” Marcus asked, frowning as he saw the blood coming from Zane’s head and the bruises on his face. “Did you just tell me that you love me?” Zane questioned, his gaze focused on Ellie. “Yes. I’m tired of not saying it, so I’ll say it again. I love you, Zane Colter, and you couldn’t expect me to sit and do nothing.” “I love you, too,” Zane replied huskily. “Not telling you that was my only regret.”

    TITLE OF BOOK: BILLIONAIRE UNDAUNTED-ZANE
    AUTHOR OF BOOK: J. S. SCOTT
    DATE READ: MARCH 9, 2017 – MARCH 10, 2017

    J. S. Scott is one of my favorite Contemporary romance authors for a very good reason, and that reason is she never lets her readers down. She writes her books with such passion that it just spills over onto the pages and you feel as though you are transported into the story yourself. At least you can imagine that you are the one that finds your love in a billionaire that will dote on you and spoil you. “Billionaire Undaunted” picks up where “Billionaire Unbound” left off. It is an amazing story and it one that many women face today and yet you don’t think it could happen to you. J. S. Scott knows how to grab your attention and hold it till the very end of the book. She knows how to write a storyline with characters that make the storyline believable. She gives you a handsome billionaire, a woman in distress, mystery, intrigue, life threatening situations, and a loving family. What more could you ask for in a book? Oh yea…. a whole lot of sex and loving!!!!!!! You surely do not want to miss this book.

    Ellie Winters is the friend of Chloe Colter who went missing. Chloe’s former fiancée kidnapped Ellie to keep Chloe in his clutches. Only thing is her ex-fiancée killed himself before they could find Ellie. Chloe had to heal from the abuse she suffered from her dead fiancée and she and new husband were on their honeymoon. But Chloe never believed Ellie was dead and never did her brother Zane. Zane Colter was always a nerdy guy growing up. He is very smart and a billionaire even without the money he inherited from his father. He is a scientist and owns his own labs and homes. He kept looking for Ellie even when everyone else had given up. He found her in an abandoned cabin shackled to the floor with no clothes on, no blankets, and no food. Plus, he had beaten her repeatedly and left to die. Zane has decided that he is going to see to it that Ellie gets all she help that she needs to heal and become the woman she once was. Will Zane be able to help Ellie heal from her abuse and captivity? Will Zane be able to make Ellie see that he wants more than just friendship from her? Or will they both continue to live a life of loneliness?

    No Spoilers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a brand new story filled with love, romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2016

    I am a one clickaholic when it comes to the Billionaire series by this Author. I don't even read the blurb. If it's up on pre order, I click. I have been hooked since the series began with Simon Hudson in The Billionaire's Obsession. Oh yeah, he's mine. I get completely lost in these books and this one is no different. It's a brand new story filled with love, romance, sex, danger, super intense moments. Is it just me or are these books becoming more wicked? wickedly good of course but you know what I mean. There is more danger, more intensity. I always say, 'God, I loved that book' and then another comes out and I keep thinking it's better than the last one when in reality they are all brilliantly done, it's just a new story with new characters we have been dying to read about.

    Zane Colter a man that doesn't give up and thankfully he never gave up on Ellie. Zane is not only Ellie's hero, he's mine and probably many more readers feel the same way. The guy could claim me any day of the week. I know, I'm already spoken for with Simon but hey, he has Kara. Anyways moving on. This story I found it to be very emotional. There were times when my heart almost broke for Ellie and Chloe even Zane. The struggles of moving forward after everything that has happened to them is hard to overcome. Zane is not about to give up, he will do anything for Ellie to be happy and feel safe once again.

    Just when you think life can be good again given time and help from support of family and friends life throws another curve ball at Ellie and the Colter family. It's a very intense situation to say the least. Zane fears the worst that Ellie will put herself in danger. Tate and Marcus hatch a plan that no one wants to be left out of. All for one and one for all.

    Imagine having all the alpha males in one room. It makes my skin tingle, LOL!! Sorry I just can't help it, as much as I was drawn into the story and bad things were happening, I couldn't help but think boy I would love to be in that room right now with all those hot, strong alpha men. One thing you can always guarantee with the Billionaire's they know how to claim a woman. They will not rest until the words 'you are mine' are spoken. The billionaire series completely blows me away every time. I am so thankful that I started this amazing journey.

    Thank you Author J.S Scott for another fabulous read. You have developed your characters so well I feel like they are a part of my life, or is that wishful thinking? Either way as always I look forward to the next instalment.

    I highly recommended to all lovers of Romance. If you haven't ever read a book by this Author then you are seriously missing out. Thousands and I mean thousands of readers sit in anticipation for a new release and it's worth every waiting day.

    Billionaire Undaunted is the ninth installment in The Billionaire's Obsession series telling the story of Zane Colter (one of the Colter brothers) and Ellie Winters. If you have read the previous book in the series, Ellie (Chloe Colter’s best friend) went missing and we were left wondering what happened to her and if she was taken by James (Chloe’s sadistic bastard ex fiancée).

    Chloe and Zane never gave up on Ellie even after James killed himself. Neither one of them ever believed the bulls**** assumption the police threw it out that Ellie just left and never came back.

    Zane never stopped looking for her. He’s a scientic, a genius. He’s analytical and rational and after seven months gone, the likelihood of him finding her alive should be pretty much nil. But his determination pays off. Time is running out for Ellie and when Zane does find her, she's in a pretty bad shape. Starving, dehydrated and on the verge of death. He’s a man on a mission. He wants to take care of Ellie, to help her recovering from her whole seven-month ordeal she’d suffered and to keep her safe.

    For some reason, Ellie had always been a woman he wanted to know better but ended up avoiding because he’d considered her off-limits in the past as she was Chloe’s best friend. But there is one thing he knows for sure: he was ready to fight for what he wanted, to ensure that Ellie is happy again. I loved nerdy, broody and socially awkward billionaire Zane. Watching his possessive, obsessive behavior toward Ellie was just a little intoxicating.

    I also adored Ellie. When reality starts to close in on her, she realizes how much everything is going to change, how much she has to take of and how different things will be now. She doesn’t have a job or a home anymore, it’s like life moved on without her during her captivity. She knows that her life is a mess because of what happened to her, but she’s determined to face her demons and to fight her fears. For once in her life, she has someone to lean on and Zane is the one man she’d ever really wanted.

    Ellie and Zane were great together and their story moved along at just the right pace. I liked this great and safe read that kept my attention the whole way! There was no real angst or unnecessary drama, just a beautiful love story with lovable and down to earth characters and some extremely hot sex scenes thrown into the mix. If you’re a true romance fan this series is for you.
