*I received this book early for the purpose of an HONEST review.*
A BILLIONAIRE AFTER DARK is book two in Katie Lane's THE OVERNIGHT BILLIONAIRES' SERIES. This book can be read as a stand alone however I think you'll understand Nash a little bit more if you've read A BILLIONAIRE BETWEEN THE SHEETS (a great read as well). A BILLIONAIRE AFTER DARK is Nash Beaumont's story, and oh what a story! First off you have a hot guy who's still struggling with events from his past and now he's rich! Then you have Eden who honestly is still trying to figure herself out even if she doesn't know that. I loved watching these two fall in love. Their road to HEA is both hot, and sigh worthy and at the same time it's so very touching. Especially watching Nash come to terms with his past, which I won't go into. I very much loved learning a bit more about Nash. And we get to see a little more of Grayson, Nash's younger brother. Be warned you'll fall in love with these three Beaumont brothers! You won't be able to help yourself. A BILLIONAIRE AFTER DARK is a perfect read! It's hot, it's quick paced, it's easy to read and it has hot guys........what more could you want? Oh it has a great setting, well written, realistic characters and a story that keeps you engaged til the end. This is one of those stay up all night, hate to see it end reads. So be warned! I highly recommend A BILLIONAIRE AFTER DARK to everyone! Just be warned once you read this one you'll be eager to read the other books in the series. I can't wait for Grayson's story to come out, WAKING UP WITH A BILLIONAIRE, which comes out in July 2016. Fans of Katie Lane will find this one another great read. If you are new to Katie Lane you'll be eager to read her backlist after reading this one!

Susan F. (scoutmomskf) -
Good continuation of the Overnight Billionaires series. Eden is a reporter who actually isn't very good at her job. To keep her job at the newspaper, she needs to find a good story. While researching a piece on prostitution (by playing the part of an escort), she discovers the identity of a patron referred to as "The Dark Seducer." All she needs is a little more information, and she'll have what she needs. She doesn't count on falling for the subject of her investigation.
Nash is the sexiest of the Beaumont brothers. His Southern charm and sexy smile have the women throwing themselves at him, But Nash has a secret life that no one knows about until one particular woman gets under his skin. Suddenly the control he is so proud of isn't as strong as he thought it was and his life is about to undergo a complete upheaval.
I liked both Eden and Nash. Eden is bold, tenacious, smart, and has a softer heart than she wants to admit. I loved the way that she threw herself into everything she did, from researching the escort business to her story on marathons. She also tends to get too close to her story subjects, which wrecks her objectivity. I loved her interactions with Madison and Chloe, who go from sources to friends. Nash is sexy, charming, loyal, and protective. I loved watching him use his charm to make things happen, from repairs at Eden's apartment to calming various crises at work.
I enjoyed the development of the relationship between Nash and Eden. There was an immediate connection between them when they met, in spite of the deceptive circumstances. Nash is very attracted to Eden, but the secret that haunts him has made him unwilling to get close to any woman. When Eden discovers what it is, all she wants is to help him see that he is punishing himself for no reason. I loved seeing him slowly lose the haunted vibe and begin to open up to Eden. Eden falls for him just as hard, but her deception weighs on her. She knows she needs to tell him the truth but is afraid of what will happen when she does. I ached for him when that truth came out, and Nash is left feeling used and betrayed. He gets some unexpected sympathy and advice from his father, which opens his eyes to some things he hadn't considered. I also hurt for Eden, who had given up on the idea of publishing the story when she realized that she loved Nash. I loved seeing her use that tenacity to show him that she cares. I loved the marathon scene at the end, which was sweet, romantic, and pretty funny.
There were appearances of characters from the first book, as well as the introduction of new ones. Of course, the other two brothers, Deacon and Grayson, have large parts, as well as Deacon's wife, Olivia. I loved Deacon's attempts to deal with low sales on their bras, trying to keep Grayson focused on the swimsuit catalog, and dealing with his over-the-top mother-in-law. I loved the artsy Grayson and his way of getting lost in his painting and sketching. He did surprise me a bit at the end with his involvement in the rescue of the escort, Chloe. It makes me really look forward to his book. I loved Madison, with her chocolate fixation and wild ideas for her life after leaving the escort business. Chloe was a bit rough around the edges but turned out to be a good friend to both Madison and Eden. But my favorite characters were the elderly nudist neighbors from the first book - who turned out to be Eden's grandparents! They were a hoot with their "magic brownies" and their costumes for the charity ball.
