About this listen
He’ll get what he wants—even if I’m already taken.
Holt Sebastian is royalty in our world. As CEO of the Sebastian News Corp, he’s the man with all the power. The man who decides if I’ll always just be a local television anchor or if I’ll be the rising star of my own show. I make it my mission to be noticed. Make him see my potential. But soon, it's clear he's the one in charge. His possessiveness is brutal. His eyes own everything they touch. I feel his gaze on me when he's in the room. The heat of them as they rake down my body, taking me in, marking me as his. He doesn’t just want me on the screen—he wants me in his bed. And Holt Sebastian gets what he wants. No one will stop him, no one will get in his way.
No one can protect me from his desire. Not even the man who promised nothing would come between us and his ambition—my husband.

Holt did not hold back on letting us know how much he was here to shake things up, because he can. Not only a powerhouse in business but in pleasure too.
Brystin is coasting along as a news reporter but with a hunger to make it to the big time, but does her boss have her best interests at heart or will he be the one left behind.
What starts out as negotiating about the job of Brystins dreams, turns out to more than just a job!
Holy Holt Sebastian 🔥

It was immediately a highly anticipated read for me from the fact that this was a Laurelin Paige story alone. Add in the fact that this book is also a reimagining of the movie Indecent Proposal? A movie that delves into just how far a couple would go, and just what they would do to secure their dream? Their future? I was EXCITED! And if Laurelin was reimagining it, then it was a guarantee that with her signature flare, this book would be full of sex, spice, secrets and seduction, and a whole lot of drama.
Brystin Shaw is a news anchor for a local network who dreams of going big; she wants to work for a bigger network, and she dreams of having her own show and with her husband, Michael, producing at the helm. When they married, they made a vow to make it big together, or not make it at all. But they also vowed that their marriage would only be on paper - no rings, no exchange of last name... and no fidelity. It's a marriage of convenience, truth be told. But for Brystin, it's a real marriage. She loves Michael, and if sharing him with others is the only way she can have him, then she'll take it.
And despite the fact that she's basically in an open marriage, she never thought she'd so much as consider sleeping with another man... Until a faulty elevator changes the course of her life forever, by trapping her with none other than Holt Sebastian.
He's the CEO of Sebastian News Corp, and the man to impress for Brystin and Michael to get their dream show. And an invitation to a weekend work retreat with Holt could just be the start of their dream coming true. But Holt will only give them their show in exchange for one thing in return: Brystin. He wants her. Her time whenever he demands it, and her body whenever he desires it. And he wants her to convince him why it is she should headline her own show at his vast network.
Brutal Billionaire is a story that's very much cat and mouse. It's a story of secret seduction and true love; of jealousy and deceit. And it's a story where everyone has something to lose, and everyone wants something they can't have. But just how far would they go to get what it is they really want?
The plot for Brutal Billionaire was absolutely phenomenal. It spans over the course of a few months, but the time jumps dotted throughout are so smooth, it doesn't even feel like so many days or weeks sometimes go by between each chapter. But as much as I could talk about the plot for days on end, it was the characters who stood out the most in this novel for me.
Now, if you've read Kincaid, then you've already met Holt. And you should know from that book alone that he is a man who is driven in getting what he wants. In Kincaid, I definitely wanted to know more about him. And in Brutal Billionaire? I got that more. He's definitely a morally grey character with questionable work ethics, and I wanted to throttle him at first more times than I can count. But the more into the story I got, the more I found myself falling for this man who hid his vulnerability behind his a**hole personality. His POV chapters were my favourite of this book - they were funny and insightful, and really broadened the world of the Sebastian clan for me - and even though we didn't get to have a lot of them - this is more Brystin's story than Holt's - what we did get of and from them were moments that I treasured. Especially when it came to his feelings for his honeybee.
And speaking of Brystin... I absolutely loved her. At first she was forgettable and did start off as a weak heroine in my eyes. However, as the story progressed, you could see how she slowly but strongly grew into her own and became a character who stood out more than anyone for me. Her growth was absolutely amazing, and it was my second favourite thing about this book overall.
My first favourite thing were the little moments between Brystin and Holt where they're just... together. Connecting. Talking. Those little moments that can sometimes get overshadowed by the overall plot, but not for me. And they're moments that are mostly mentioned as mere memories that Holt and Brystin sometimes think about when thinking of each other, but those little moments were enough for me to see the chemistry that Holt and Brystin have, without needing an actual scene to show it. The memories and mentions of them alone were enough.
And Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan were phenomenal in narrating those moments and having me falling in love with those memories just as much as they left me blushing and giddy at the salacious moments between this forbidden couple. And Brutal Billionaire is actually my first audiobook that I've listened to that is narrated by this duo. I've never listened to one by them before, but I can certainly see why people were excited for these two to bring this book to life. They both conveyed the emotions and frustrations and highs and lows of these characters brilliantly.
The differentiation of the side characters could've been better improved in my eyes... or ears... since if I wasn't reading the ebook as I was listening to the audiobook, I would've struggled at times with knowing when different characters were talking if I was listening to the audiobook alone. But that's about it. Other than that, the audiobook was amazing, and I would listen to it again in the future.
I just could not love this book any more than I do even if I tried, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. I loved Holt. I loved Brystin. I loved Zully, and Jessa too. And I LOVED the Sebastian clan who seriously put the RoyaI Family to shame with their secrets and scandals. It's already been confirmed that each will be getting their own story... and I truly cannot wait for them. Bring on the rest of 2023.
Laurelin Paige is BACK with a BANG
