REVIEW: Demanding His Billion-Dollar Heir by Pippa Roscoe

In Demanding His Billion-Dollar Heir by Pippa Roscoe, Maria Rohan de Luen had no idea she was speaking with an infamous billionaire when Matthieu Montcour sat down beside her and struck up a conversation just when she needed a distraction. Emotionally distraught, she fell for his charm and unassuming manner. And the wildly passionate night they shared is one Maria won’t ever forget–particularly since three months later she realizes she is pregnant. But when Matthieu finally accepts the truth that he’s to become a father, throwing his ordered world into disarray, emotions he’d kept locked inside for over a decade come tumbling out. And he’s not sure if he can let Maria in when it means she has the potential to do damage to his heart.

‘She had looked for love for her entire life and now she had consigned herself to a man who would never love her.’

Demanding His Billion-Dollar Heir took instant attraction to a whole new exciting level. A story that had a bit of a Beauty and the Beast feel to it, author Pippa Roscoe took two characters with traumatic pasts–and trust issues–and turned their lives upside down. It was achingly romantic. Heartbreaking at times. But ultimately so satisfying to see our hero and heroine finally give in to the beauty that was their connection.

‘He wanted to know what life was lived like, not in the shadows of his grief, but in the light of Maria.’

Billionaire businessman Matthieu turned out to be a tortured hero who our innocent, kind heroine Maria couldn’t help but want to save. And boy did he test her–and readers’–patience a few times. (lol) I did like how their personalities both clashed and meshed in a unique way as well as how Maria and Matthieu had some similarities in their backgrounds to draw them together. I won’t give away the deets as to what happened to each of them. But it will break your heart.

Matthieu and Maria did make a fun couple. When they allowed themselves to actually communicate and spend time together, that is. That lack of communication along with a lack of trust and being emotionally closed off made for some major hurdles for our couple to overcome. Maria and Matthieu were, in essence, both very lonely souls. So I loved watching them oh so slowly break down their barriers and truly enjoy each other’s company and feel like they had someone who cared about their well-being on their own terms for once. Sigh…

One night of passion was all it took for two people’s lives to change forever in Demanding His Billion-Dollar Heir. It was a romance that had all the heat, charm, and drama I think Harlequin Presents fans will adore.
