Billionaire Undercover ~ Hudson (California Billionaires #1) (The Billionaire's Obsession Book 15) Kindle Edition

by J. S. Scott (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 7,336 ratings
One geology intern who desperately needs to be rescued from a hostage situation. One billionaire who has the capability to save her life. Two people who are inexplicably drawn to each other even though they have almost nothing in common.

Although this story is part of The Billionaire's Obsession series, it is the first book of the California Billionaires and can easily be enjoyed as a standalone billionaire romance.

Taylor
Just when I thought I was destined to die in a foreign country after being kidnapped while doing a geological exploration, a mysterious rescuer shows up just in time to save my life. Unfortunately, my liberator also happens to be the co-CEO of Montgomery Mining, my employer, and a billionaire with an attitude. At first glance, Hudson Montgomery seems like the quintessential gorgeous billionaire with plenty of money to burn, and no concern for anyone but himself. The arrogant billionaire I could handle, but I wasn't quite so sure how to deal with the amazing guy I discovered once I looked past the superficial exterior. The one who stayed by my side as I recovered mentally and physically from the trauma of being a hostage.

There was so much more to Hudson than just billions of dollars, a prestigious lastname and a very handsome face. When the white-hot chemistry between the two of us finally explodes, do I trust the man I've come to know, or do I accept that Hudson Montgomery is the same guy the rest of the world sees?

    This was a wonderful book with mystery and danger and wonderful love stories. But the one before this about Marcus left me with unanswered questions. The reader never found out that Marcus told his brothers that he was a half brother or what their reaction was there were several other things that were never resolved and I wondered why not perhaps the author was in a hurry to end the novel. I saw a reference to the fact that Marcus and his sweetheart got married but it never happened within the story. I think some of these details should have been handled before the end of the book. This novel was wonderful with its characters is scenery and his information about terrorists abroad I highly recommend it

    I loved this story of Hudson and Taylor! When employees of Montgomery Mining get kidnapped and held for ransom, one gets left behind. Hudson and Jax rescue Taylor. For Hudson and Taylor, it was an instant connection, even if the situation was horrible. He can't seem to let her go and wants to help her heal. Their attraction grows, but they are both so hesitant and cautious. As healing continues, the attraction grows until they can't fight the feelings any more. I love these two together. I love this book. I highly recommend! I can't wait for Jax and Harlow's story!

    Hudson and I strolled down the beach, watching as the sun started to set. “Okay, so, I’m about to ask you for favor number three,” he said, sounding a little bit nervous. I stopped. “Is something wrong?” He shook his head as he dug into his front pocket. “No, baby, everything is very right, but I want a favor.” I let out a relieved breath. “Ask me. Whatever you want.” He lifted a brow as he pulled out a little black box from his pocket. “This one is kind of a big one,” he warned. I beamed at him. “Lay it on me. I’m sure I can handle it.” “This is more about whether or not you can handle me,” he said huskily as he flipped the box open. “For a lifetime.” I let out an audible gasp as I saw exactly what he was holding. “Marry me, Taylor. Put me out of my misery. Favor number three—please say yes.” The ring was absolutely gorgeous, and it was all diamonds, so it flashed brightly in its bed of black velvet. There was one large center stone, surrounded by a smaller circle of gems. It was set in either platinum or white gold. “Oh, my, God, Hudson. That ring is beautiful. I think you already know that my answer is yes. Yes, yes, yes!” He grinned, looking relieved as he pulled the ring out, and slipped it onto my finger. “I love you, Taylor.” I threw my arms around him the moment the ring was on my finger. “I love you, too, Hudson.” I pulled back to kiss him. The embrace was long, and filled with emotion and tenderness. I was breathless when it was over. “Can we get things ready soon?” he asked. “How soon?” I asked, my voice filled with excitement. “Next month?” he said hopefully.

    Hudson Montgomery is as alpha as they come. He's the oldest child, CEO of their mining conglomerate, and a billionaire! He and all his brothers went into the military when they were old enough,because their family life was not good. So when they had to leave military life to take over the company, they were ready in more ways than one. When employees were taken hostage , brothers Hudson and Jax decide to go in themselves for the rescue. Hudson read the file on Taylor and when he saw her picture, he was mesmerized by her green eyes and fire red color of her hair. He made sure he was the one who rescued her, carried her out of the forest, stayed with her on the plane, When they got back to the US, Hunter took Taylor home with him, so he could take care of her home because on the way home, she told him she didn't like being in hospitals. So after she was checked out fully, he took her home. He was very protective but Taylor, even after her terrible ordeal, was a strong woman too! Read this beautiful love story between Hudson and Taylor! You will love the push/pull they go through as they finally admit they love each other. I highly recommend this book! 💖💕💖

    ## Just Ok. I guess I'm the only one who had a problem with the whole "raped repeatedly" theme. I read to escape reality for a bit, to have fun. Reading about how the heroine was raped and beaten was not how I expected to spend my free time. Yet, she lusted after the hero immediately. Really? That was the first half of the book. The second half was just...mushy comes to mind. Hudson was amazing but it became a little boring when all they did was gush about each other. And why do Jan's heroines always have weight issues or frizzy, out of control hair? I have loved this series, but this one missed the mark for me.

    From a very young age Taylor grew up in a series of foster homes, after being orphaned when she witnessed the aftermath of the murder/ suicide of her parents . Unfortunately due to her fiery nature she never stayed at one home very long before being shipped to the next . At fourteen she decided to run away and lived on the streets ,she did the best she could to survive . Then one day her fortunes changed when she met an elderly gentleman called Mac Tenaka . He had recently lost his wife but in the past they had fostered children so he took Taylor under his wing and applied to foster her officially giving her stability & love she so deserved , he also made sure that she got a good education . Sadly seven years later he died , and once more at twenty one Taylor was on her own again ,with her college degree behind her she applied for and got an internship as a geologist at Montgomery Mining Corporation . Thoroughly enjoying her time there under the mentorship of Dr Harlow Lewis she is more than happy to go on a field trip to Lanian with her and another geoscientist , called Mark who was also Harlow’s boyfriend . Although Lanian used to be a Very hostile country after considerable changes there it’s now considered to be safe , little did they know that there were still pockets of rebels in the country that were still looking to make trouble and earn money from taking hostages which is exactly what happened to them . Harlow is realised but unfortunately Mark is killed and Taylor is for the time being thought to be still alive Hudson Montgomery together with his brothers Zac and Copper are the owners of Montgomery Mining , they have all been away from their office for a few weeks attending a family wedding . Whilst Conner decided to stay for longer , Hudson & Zac came back to find that three of their geologists had been abducted, The Montgomery brothers had a background in the armed forces all finally ending up in the elite special services . When they left they did so to save their ailing business , as they were highly skilled in covert operations they also founded an organisation called Last Hope, which is as you’d expect a highly skilled secret group that went into dangerous countries and situations to rescue people . Although they didn’t go on many missions now , Hudson and Zac decided that as it was their work college in danger they should be the ones to go in to rescue her . After gaining evidence that Taylor although had been badly beaten was still alive and after talking to Harlow and finding out that she was certain Taylor was being sexually assaulted nightly as well , they wasted no time in launching their rescue operation . Question is can they get Taylor out and indeed what shape physically & mentally be in? ...........all I’ll say it’s one beautiful emotional rollercoaster ride with a well deserved ending 😉🥰🥰. The only thing is I have to wait until next year for Zac’s story .
