REVIEW - THE BILLIONAIRE'S MISTAKE by Lia Hunt


This is book two of THE INTERN trilogy.  Expect cliffhanger.

Emery has just gotten an internship not only in New York City but a dream one at Duke Capital and she has just ruined it by slamming into a man spilling coffee all over him.  She's just lucky it wasn't hot.  That would have been a lawsuit on top of losing her job.

Sitting in front of her boss Blythe Lawrence-Duke, Emery is nervous because how do you tell your boss that you just spilled coffee all over her husband.  Yes, she just spilled coffee all over THE DUKE of Duke Capital!

Before she can think of anything that may save her job, because surely that's why she's been called to Blythe's office, Blythe asks what Emery knows about her husband and begins dabbing at her eyes telling her that he started his business by tearing others apart.

All he was interested in was money and sex.  How rough he was with her and how he cheated.  How she can't prove anything, but she just wants to be free.  And Emery is just the person to help her get that freedom.

Emery sits there in shock as Blythe tells her she will pay her $50,000 to date her husband.  Seduce her husband so he'll sign the divorce papers and the money is hers.

Unlike book one which was only from Harrison's POV, this book is from the POV of both Harrison and Emery.  This book starts immediately where book one ended but starts with Emery realizing that she left Harrison in her bedroom as she got ready for his surprise date.  Her bedroom that has the check from his wife sitting on her dresser.

As she rushes back to the room to explain that she had no intention of cashing the check she finds that Harrison is gone...he left.  Texting her that they would have to do this another time because something came up.

Emery rushes towards Harrison's office in the morning to explain about the check and come clean about what she has done, but not only is he cold towards her, but he is making plans from a dinner date with the firm attorney, Cheryl.

She is in shock.  Had she been wrong this whole time about him?  Had Blythe been telling her the truth?  So she packs up her belongings and returns home to Kansas.  Her dreams of New York shattered.  And she only had herself to blame.

I love how this book transitioned perfectly from book one being totally in Harrison's POV to being in Emery's.  Even though we met Emery in The Billionaire's Intern, we only knew her from Harrison's POV and it was nice hearing her voice.

I love the chemistry between Harrison and Emery.  Regardless of how angry and heartbroken Harrison is because of Emery's actions, he is determined for her to explain herself.  Harrison fights internally with himself with what he knows of Emery and what she has done.  He can't reconcile what she has done and is determined to get his answers.

We knew from book one that Blythe was a viperous snake, but this book really tells you how bad this woman is and what she will do to get what she wants.

Love this series and looking forward to the final book in this series!
