Synopsis

I never expected the man I saw as nothing but a billionaire player to be the only person who could rescue me from near insanity.

One moment, everything was perfect.

I was finally Dr. Harlow Lewis, research geoscientist, and I was actually employed at Montgomery Mining Laboratories, the crème de la crème of labs for my specialty.  I also had good friends, a supportive parent, and a budding relationship with a great guy.  Add all of those things together and it was impossible for my existence to be anything less than ideal.  

I had exactly the life I'd always wanted, until it...wasn't. 
 
I guess I never realized that brief periods of perfection could instantly be followed by a nine day, horrific hostage situation that would forever change the woman I'd been before that incident.

Oddly, after my release, the only person who knew that I was struggling to get my life back was Jaxton Montgomery, my billionaire boss, and the king of one-nighters . Not exactly the perfect confidante, right?  The two of us barely spoke unless it was company business, especially after I'd turned down a date with him two years earlier.  What rational female would want to have dinner with a man who was known for his one-and-done dating behavior?

Maybe Jax wasn't the guy I would have chosen to be the person who would drag me out of the darkness and back into life again, but he was the only one stubborn enough to do it.  He systematically broke down all of defenses until I reached out and clung to him like he was the only lifeline I had.  

It wasn't until I got to know him that I realized that Jax was so much more than the playboy he was portrayed to be in the gossip columns. 
 
He was patient, he didn't judge, and he had a wicked sense of humor.  Even stranger, he understood what I was going through, even when I didn't understand it myself.  

Unfortunately, he was also the hottest guy I'd ever met, and as our bizarre friends-but-not-really-friends relationship continued, it was getting harder and harder to fight the intense chemistry between the two of us.  

What happens when a guy you thoroughly disliked just a few months ago suddenly becomes your everything?
  
Jax had helped me claw my way back into my life, but was I brave enough to risk everything all over again to keep the one man I'd always wanted but could never have?

Another great story by J. S. Scott. Jax was definitely unexpected. The author was true to Jax's character in keeping him at a distance while Harlow was dealing with her healing. I appreciated this. It felt genuine. Jax and Harlow have a beautiful love story, Must read!
I am excited for Cooper. Bring it on!

Even better than I expected! Billionaire Unexpected – Jax (The Billionaire’s Obsession, Book 16) is the story of Jax Montgomery and Dr. Harlow Lewis. I have been anticipating their story since we were introduced to Harlow’s character in Hudson’s and Taylor’s story, Billionaire Undercover (The Billionaire’s Obsession, Book 15). Jax Montgomery is co-owner with his brothers and CEO of Montgomery Mining. He is always in the tabloids as the hot bachelor who never has the same girl on his arm.

Even better than I expected! Billionaire Unexpected – Jax (The Billionaire’s Obsession, Book 16) is the story of Jax Montgomery and Dr. Harlow Lewis. I have been anticipating their story since we were introduced to Harlow’s character in Hudson’s and Taylor’s story, Billionaire Undercover (The Billionaire’s Obsession, Book 15). Jax Montgomery is co-owner with his brothers and CEO of Montgomery Mining. He is always in the tabloids as the hot bachelor who never has the same girl on his arm. Harlow Lewis is a geoscientist at Montgomery Mining. Harlow met Jax two years earlier at work, at which time Jax proceeded to ask Harlow out. She certainly was attracted to him, but turned him down because she did not want to be one of his one night stands. It has been two months since Harlow was released from her kidnappers in Lania. Harlow is having difficulty coming to terms with what happened to her, Taylor and Mark. Mark and Harlow were good friends and they were exploring taking their relationship further. Harlow and Taylor were taken hostage when they arrived in Lania, and Mark, sadly was killed as soon as he arrived. Harlow does not know Mark was killed until she returns home. She is withdrawing from family and friends. She is suffering with so much guilt because she invited Taylor and Mark to join her. She is also suffering from PTSD. When it is brought to Jax attention that Harlow is not doing well, he goes to see her. He is shocked by how badly she is doing, and instantly wants to help her. Harlow has shown interest in volunteering for Last Hope, the organization the Montgomery brothers are a part of. Jax uses this knowledge to make a deal with Harlow. She agrees to let him be her advisor and allow him to help her through this, and once they deem she is on her way back to good health, she can join Last Hope. Of course this works in Jax’s favor because he has been attracted to Harlow since he met her two years ago. That’s all I am saying. I will not spoil it for anyone. I absolutely loved watching Jax and Harlow’s relationship grow, and witnessing Harlow heal, and the relationship Jax has with his brothers. I love each and every one of the books in The Billionaire’s Obsession series. Each book is a standalone, but I suggest starting with the Billionaire’s Obsession – Simon, book 1. You cannot go wrong. If you have not read any of J. S. Scott’s books, you are truly missing out. We were given a glimpse into what is next for us and I cannot wait! I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an ARC copy of this book.

Billionaire Unexpected had my heart in my throat from the first chapter as it introduces Harlow (the heroine) who is dealing, or not so much dealing with a major life trauma and is sinking deeper and deeper into her anxiety and depression.

Billionaire Unexpected had my heart in my throat from the first chapter as it introduces Harlow (the heroine) who is dealing, or not so much dealing with a major life trauma and is sinking deeper and deeper into her anxiety and depression. Jax (the hero) co-CEO of the company she works for and also an advisor for a secret organization that helps rescue victims in hostage situations has known Harlow for a while now and has really noticed drastic changes in her mentally and physically since returning from being held hostage while on a work trip. He requests to be Harlow's advisor, unsure why he is seeking to help her himself, just knowing he needs to.

This begins the friendship / relationship between Jax and Harlow, as Jax works to get Harlow the help she needs and getting her back to experiencing life outside of her apartment. Jax is so incredibly sweet, kind and considerate, totally unexpected by Harlow who has just seen him as the one and done Montgomery that the media portrays him as. She begins to see him in a totally new light and her feelings for him are growing more and more.
Jax had already been turned down by Harlow a couple years before because of his playboy ways, so even though he is extremely attracted to Harlow and wants to determine if they can be something more he knows she needs to heal mentally first, so he puts his feelings on the back burner concerned that even though he likes her that she doesn't feel the same since her previous rejection.

The comraderie and chemistry Jax and Harlow exhibit is so off the charts you can only hope that these two end up romantically linked. Seeing how Jax helps Harlow had my ovaries exploding and wanting to find a Jax of my own. Once these two do get together the sex is hot, hot, hot!

Billionaire Unexpected is a MUST read that takes you on a journey of healing and dealing with grief, guilt and trauma from a traumatic situation to finding love with the most unexpected of people. Although this story starts off sad and painful, it ends with the most happy and beautiful HEA. If you love steamy romance with an intelligent smokin hot billionaire, an extremely intelligent and independent woman trying to get her life back on track, two rescue dogs who work with PTSD veterans, close knit families and a wonderful heartwarming story then you definitely don't want to miss this book!!! I look forward to reading about Connor, the last single Montgomery sibling, to hopefully find a love of his own.
