***3.5 ‘#TeamKira’ Stars***
Kira, I adored. She hasn’t had an easy life, but she has also made certain choices that have ended in tragedy, but the woman who has come out of all of that has accepted her role and wants to be more. She wants to be someone who brings change and understanding instead of chaos. Lorenzo is, as far as the world is concerned, stone cold. He is curt, cold, intimidating and calculating...all of which he isn’t ashamed to admit to. But underneath the ice, he’s living with so much guilt it’s suffocating and though he cares about more than he’d ever admit to, his fear of letting any of that out has him keeping it on complete lock down.
Kira and Lorenzo’s journey was an interesting one considering all the ties that bound them together. I’ll admit that there were times I wanted to smack Lorenzo, but it was all part of the process and it was always intriguing to see just how much Kira’s reactions, or lack thereof, affected the seemingly untouchable man. Things take a while to catch fire, but once it does the chemistry between them is undeniable and I found it interesting how they both ended up waking and becoming who they were meant to be in the end.
So, that ended up being more coherent that I thought it would be, so YAY me *grin* but now for why I was waffling. This book started out great, but somewhere in the middle my interest waned when it came to the story and I got a little bored. Things did pick up, and I obviously pushed through and came out liking the book, but I can’t ignore the fact that I did skim a bit in hopes that I’d stop on something that would have me wanting to continue. (Okay, that is all kinds of vague, but I warned you) This can be read as a standalone, but I was very happy that I read The Billionaire Beast since Nero does pop up in this book and does a little arse kicking which only made me love him more.
While I didn’t absolutely love The Billionaire’s Intern, I still enjoyed it and thought that, for a novella, was well done and gave more of an emotional gut punch than I thought it would. So, if you’re looking for a quick, smexy read with heart then I’d give this one a go!

Lorenzo De Santis: Ruthless. Driven. Ambitious.
Lorenzo De Santis is the boss. He's an uncompromising hardass, he doesn’t suffer fools, and he doesn’t have time to deal with witless young interns. But when an old friend asks for a favor, Lorenzo can’t refuse. Even if it means taking on the man’s daughter as a project.
Kira Constantin: Rich. Party girl...Spy.
Kira Constantin feels like she has been half-alive since that one night of partying ended in tragedy. So when her father demands that she go undercover at De Santis Corp as a spy, there’s no way she can refuse. She must redeem herself, even if that means dealing with a boss like of Lorenzo De Santis.
Except neither of them counts on the forbidden heat that flares between them. As Kira and Lorenzo draw closer, spying on him becomes harder and harder. And then Kira discovers that the real villain might be closer to her than she thinks…
