Giorgio I’ve always been the dutiful son, living my life for everyone else but me. So, walking in on my fiancée with someone else during our engagement party should have filled me with devastation, but instead, I felt relieved.
When a drunken message to the woman whose heart I broke all those years ago comes back with a reply, will this be the second chance I’ve always hoped for, or is it too late?
Paige This isn’t at all how I saw my life playing out. It started with discovering I’ve inherited my Great Aunt’s estate in Italy.
Then I walk into our restaurant and find my husband giving his French baguette to our sous chef. And because I hadn’t suffered enough, the universe decides to bring back into my life the one man I swore I’d never speak to ever again. Except now he’s a sexy billionaire.
"JA Low lives on a faraway beach in Australia. When she's not writing steamy scenes and admiring hot surfers, she's tending to her husband and two sons, and dreaming up the next epic romance."
This was my first read from this author and if this book is anything to go by then she’s got a new fan. I loved Gio and Paige’s second chance romance in The Sexy Billionaire. It was one of those stories that has every I look for. It pulled at my heartstrings with the funeral of Paige’s aunt Lucia who sounded like a right character, but this did allow her the opportunity to see with her first love Gio. She was married and he engaged so it was a bit of wistful reunion of sorts. It then veered towards the comedic but slightly angsty when Paige discovered the reason why her husband didn’t go to the funeral with her and just saying I’d have opted for something a bit pointier than a baguette, before finishing with drama and suspense when Paige attracted the attention of a stalker and her escape to Italy and the arms of Gio. Their romance was slowburn - technically Gio was still engaged and to Italy’s sweetheart at that so a bit of sneaking around was involved and I did think ‘man up Gio and officially dump the cheating bitch� but I did love their flirty drunken texting as their friendship gradually deepened. Paige especially was hesitant to take things to the next level. Gio had broken her teenage heart and after her husband, she was afraid of trusting again so that made the development of their relationship all the more meaningful. With fantastic secondary characters I can’t wait to read more from the Italian Nights series.
When Paige finds out that she has inherited a ridiculous amount of wealth and assets from her late aunt, she runs home to her husband to tell him the good news. Only to find him in a compromising position with one of their kitchen staff. So she knows that she needs to get a divorce immediately. But her husband is doing everything in his power to not allow that.
On Giorgio’s wedding day, he finds his fiancé in a compromising position. So he is also looking for an outlet. So when he connects with Paige, his first love who he saw for the first time in over fifteen years at her aunt’s funeral, they start to form a long distance friendship. The commonalities in their current lives and the past love that they shared are bringing them closer together.
Giorgio and Paige’s past is complicated, yet simple at the same time. The reasons for their equal heartbreak is not something that can be erased, but now with both of their new found freedom, will they be able to rewrite history?
Really enjoyed this book and these characters! Paige and Gio really made me root for their happy ending and how they were always meant to be together. They just proved that right person, wrong time is truly what happened in their situation.
The side characters were great and I would love to see Natalia get a book in the future because her story is needing to be told!!
I ate this up. Second chances are one of my favorites, and this one was SO good. I feel like I went through all of the emotions while reading this one. Gio and Paige’s story pulled at all of my heart strings. Paige is saying goodbye after the loss of her great aunt and sees Gio again after fifteen years. They are curious about one another, but nothing happens - as both are with other people. So when Paige goes back home and finds her husband in compromising positions, and Gio finds his fiancée the night before their engagement party with another. They are two both two hurt and confused people who lean on one another. When things start to get dangerous for Paige in New York she goes to Rome.. where Gio is. The tension and angst between them was SO good, so much time had past but at the same none at all. As they both learn how to navigate what happens with their new life’s now, and if more is going to happen with them. I also loved all of the friends and family and the roles they played as well as how their characters developed throughout the story as well. All of the feels. Must read. I can’t wait for the next book!
I just love JA Low's books & this one was no different. It is a standalone in an interconnected world & I would suggest reading the first book (The Sexy Stranger) prior to this one if you don't want any spoilers for it. But I totally fell in love with the grumpy Giorgio & enjoyed watching his layers get pealed away by Paige. They had the sweetest story of how you can lose your first love, however, if it is meant to be they will find their way back to you. I really hope this world continues to expand as I am loving these characters (especially some of the side ones...Natalia) & would love to see where they go.
Some of my favourite quotes are:
'The boy I once loved has turned into one of the handsomest men I've ever laid eyes on.' - Paige 'Dammit, me and my big mouth. Note to self, don't ever get arrested, you will spill the beans instantly.' - Paige "You're mine, Paige. You were my first and you will be my last" - Giorgio "I own you, you're my good girl" - Giorgio 'Hello there, big boy' - Paige
Some of the themes/tropes in this book are:
*Billionaire *First Love *Stalking *Dirty Talk *Good Girl
I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of this book & this is my honest opinion.
Paige lost her Aunt Lucia, and her husband didn't even go with her to Italy for the funeral. Not only that, but when she came home from the funeral, not only was her husband not there to comfort her, he was with another woman, with as in WITH. Now Paige is adrift, wondering what to do with her life. Her newly forged friendship with her teenage ex (with whom she reconnected at her aunt's funeral), though, is one of the few bright spots on her horizon. A bright spot that could become more when she decides to head to Italy and falls back into Gio and his family. But the reason Gio broke her heart back then still exists, and it could be an even bigger obstacle than Paige's own baggage.
Gio's engagement has been a lie. A lie that's now ended with her betrayal with his sister. But because he has a good heart, he can't possibly out Giada and his sister to the public, so now he's in a non-existent engagement while his heart is becoming entwined again with the only girl he's ever loved. Seeing Paige again at Lucia's funeral reignited all the feelings he used to have and he wants the future they used to dream of when they were teenagers. First he'll have to convince his ex and his sister to release him from this farce, and protect Paige from the person intent on stalking and harassing her.
Paige and Gio are so worthy of their second chance. Their story is sexy and heartfelt, with a dose of suspense. Paige's friendships with her squad are a standout, as are Gio's complicated relationships with his siblings. I don't have a hot Italian billionaire like Paige does, but after this, I definitely want one now!
Welcome back to Author JA Low’s sexy Italian Fiorenzo brothers!!!! THE SEXY BILLIONAIRE was such a great read that I hit it in one sitting and re-read it again for this review. It’s about past loves, realising the follies of youthful indiscretions, moving past betrayal and living up to one’s true potential. And most of all, it’s such a hot and sexy romance. Taking the risky leap of faith when your soul mate comes back into your life at the right time and seizing it with both hands.
Ms Low’s Fiorenzo brothers are everything a book boyfriend should be. Growly, possessive and in love with their women with a single-minded determination to protect and love. We met Luca, Giorgio’s younger brother in book one, THE SEXY STRANGER, and even though they both are great as stand-a-lones, Luca and his wife are very supportive secondary characters so it’s a bonus if you’ve read it first. Seriously, it’s a great read, even if it does get somewhat heavy in the last third of the book.
I won’t be rehashing the blurb. Essentially Paige has inherited a fortune and rushes home to share her news with her husband, finding him deep into another woman. There’s no explaining that situation and in trying to free herself of his philandering and damaging clutches, realises a hell of a lot about their relationship.
The magic of Ms Low’s writing comes through in Paige’s thoughts and realisations as the true colours of her ex-husband begin to show. The love infused vision of him was ripped from her eyes and I love that in her newly discovered common sense and clear thinking, she finally saw what everyone around her saw but couldn’t communicate to her. She loved him unconditionally and couldn’t see the insidious damage he was doing to her confidence and her psyche. The man went from controller and manipulator to dangerous when he no longer had any say in Paige’s future. At this point, I’m wondering just how far Ms Low was going to be taking Paige’s journey!!!
Seeing Giorgio at her Great Aunt’s funeral had them both realising that their first love for each other was as strong as ever. Fifteen years had changed them both, and brought them to one common path. Both were in committed relationships, both were betrayed, and to make matters worse, all parties were well known on social media.
I loved that Paige and Gio rediscovered each other as friends first, and even though their relationship developed relatively quickly, compared to Ms Low’s typical romantic timeline, this almost qualified as a slow burn!!!!! Until it wasn’t, and then they were burning up the sheets!!! They both had recent betrayal in common as well as their young and hurtful relationship to get past, and when Paige attracted the unwanted attention of her dangerous stalker, I was all kinds of impressed with Gio stepping up very quickly to protect what was his.
What a full-on read Ms Low has put together with this amazing book, THE SEXY BILLIONAIRE. It has great reviews, and I highly recommend it as guaranteed great reading! 5-super-sexy-stars! 🖤💜✨️
My goodness, this series is just something else. After reading this book, which is book 2 and a standalone in this series, I have definitely fallen in love with Ms. Low's writing and stories and characters.
Mind you, book 1 was CRAZY AWESOME and I loved Luca, the younger brother and his story with Lilly oh so much yet I didn't have an inkling that I would be falling more so for his elder brother, Giorgio.
Giorgio, is about to have his engagement party. He might have a fiancee but he's not in love with her, it's all more of a marriage of convenience sort of thing and also, makes his parents happy, so there's that. But then a wild twister, he didn't see coming, breaks his so called future paradise.
Paige on the other hand has just lost her favourite aunt and she's devastated by the loss. She's a chef and is happily married or so she would like to believe as her husband is not there for her when she needs him the most.
First, Grief brings them together, when Giorgio and Paige reconnect at her aunt's funeral and even though they have dated when they were teens, yet it's an unfortunate happening that eventually paves the way for them to come closer.
I really felt this story was so exciting because of so many different things that were happening and the turns that came out of the blue.
Initially, when we see Paige going from Chef to Countess... LIKE OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS... IMAGINE BECOMING RICH IN A BLINK OF AN EYE WITH SO MUCH WEALTH.
Then finding out your so called husband was not at all the person you thought him to be and after finding him cheating (no worries, this is not a spoiler😉), you can't stop thinking about your old flame that you met recently.
Whew... Especially when he's as drop dead freaking gorgeous as Giorgio is.
The text messages were so much fun and it made it feel real, you know, for two people to really find their way to each other, albeit slowly but surely.
Like I said, there's so much happening in this book and I was constantly thinking and was scared, hoping that the hidden secrets don't blast open and cause any kinda scandal.
Giorgio might have been a major A-hole when he was younger, but he's definitely A WOMAN'S FANTASY DREAM COME TO LIFE, FOR SURE, NOW.
That man can melt you with just one look and when he speaks, you'll be ready to throw your panties at him for sure. 😻💋
Giorgio's family is amazing, except Allegra and especially Natalia. I loved how cool and outgoing and straight forward she was and I thought, I'd love to have her as a friend.
Paige's family is also amazing, especially her brother was so protective and sweet. But her besties were also crazy great and what any woman would be blessed to have.
I can't wait to read more in this series. Loved loved this one.❤️❤️❤️
From beginning to end THE SEXY BILLIONAIRE, book #2 in JA Low's Italian Nights, was a wonderfully entertaining read. It had everything: a delicious billionaire, a good girl, hot steam, scandal, a stalker, and a second chance at love. After meeting Giorgio "Gio" Fiorenza in The Sexy Stranger, Luca Fiorenza's story, I couldn't wait to read his story, and it exceeded all my expectations. I loved Luca, but Gio is on a whole different level to his brother.
Paige Johnson returned to Italy to say goodbye to her beloved great aunt Lucia, only to find out she had inherited a fortune and a title. While at the funeral she runs into the one man she never forgot, the man who shattered her heart. Returning home to New York she has every intention of telling her husband, Michael, her news, until she finds him in a compromising position with a staff member. Her life changes in more ways than she expects. Not only is she wealthy, but Michael is also finally showing his true colours and they're not pretty.
After seeing Gio at the funeral, Paige realizes that she still has feelings for him, except she's not in the right frame of mind to act upon them. Gio too, has had his own personal complications, but seeing Paige for the first time in fifteen years has shown him he never forgot how she made him feel. The two eventually reconnect, enabling their friendship to once again blossom. After Paige's stalker makes his move Gio heads to New York determined to ensure Paige's safety, this is where their relationship moves forward in leaps and bounds.
I loved Gio. He was the perfect epitome of an "Italian stallion", hot and delicious doesn't cover it. Once he was back in Paige's life he became extremely protective of her, doing everything to keep her safe. Paige was in two minds over what she wanted, even though she knew Gio was "the one" she felt she needed time. I loved that Ms. Low showed the struggles they both went through, the thoughts they had, the desire to move forward even though their pathway to do that wasn't easy. This was slow burn at its best, even though the steam between them was hot and heavy. I just wanted them both to have the HEA they longed for.
THE SEXY BILLIONAIRE was an amazing read. Ms. Low kept me addicted until the very end. A highly recommended read.
Aaaahhhh Giorgio Fiorenzo� how utterly beautiful you are. There really is nothing like a dirty-talking, hot-loving, Italian stallion sweetheart to get the heartbeat thumping and the pulse racing.
We briefly met Gio in the first book in this series and also in other books along the way, and even though he’s been the quiet, brooding brother now he’s got his own story to tell, he’s so deserving of finding true love� or should I say rekindling a lost love.
As a stupid teenage boy, Gio messed up his summer love with the beautiful Paige despite how much he wanted her. His life was complicated and his status placed him in the spotlight. Knowing what Paige wanted from life, he knew he could risk keeping her and possibly ruining her chances. So he did what he thought was right� he let her go.
Now fifteen years later and neither Paige nor Gio have found happiness. A sad loss finds them back in the same place and immediately, old feelings stir. Both of them are still reeling from bad break-ups and turn to each other for support. There’s a lot of air to be cleared, but the more they reconnect, the more they realise that some feelings never die.
But when Paige’s situation turns dangerous she makes the decision to head back to Italy with Gio and discover more about her unexpected inheritance. Being back in the country she fell in love with as a young girl, she allows herself to remember just how much she loved the boy who once broke her heart. After all, for someone to truly know heartbreak, they must first know love.
There’s a lot of too-ing and fro-ing, will they won’t they teasers in this fabulous love story� but it’s all understandable. The hurt, the secrets, the loss� I get it. But if someone like Gio walked back into my life� I’d jump at the chance to rekindle a few flames.
It’s a fantastic story and I’ve loved it so much I finished it in a matter of hours. All the side characters are totally wonderful and I really hope Smith gets his own story because he’s delicious. Same with Natalie� although I think I’ve just read that her story is next. Can’t wait for more.
The Sexy Billionaire Italian nights #2 JA Low ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would desperately love to see more of Paige and Gio, their story was so full on and so much happening individually that most of the story is the lead up to their happiness. I want more more more!!!!!
With every book I fall more in love with Jess' writing and this incredibly amazing world she has created. Every single time I am in awe with the characters and cannot help myself falling in love with them. This read was an emotional rollercoaster that left me feeling content by the end.
Giorgio and Paige intruiged me from the start and I was eager to know them and there story. It's obvious from there first meet in fifteen years that no matter how long it's been there is still a connection there. My heart broke for everything they had to go through at the same time I was happy that it was a way they could reconnect.
There love tugged at my heart strings and just like Lucia and Gio's mom I was praying they get together. Paige is incredibly strong and I was swooning over Gio for being so protective and possessive over Paige. He would go to any length for her. The spice was off the charts and there chemistry smoking hot enough to burn pages.
I loved all the secondary characters especially Nat, Callie, Savannah and Smith and just like always with Jess' book I wish they get there own story. Allegra and Giada also redeemed themselves. I loved the epilogue but wanna know more of what's gonna happen in the future. I hope Jess has a bonus epilogue so that we get a glimpse of there future.
I devoured the read in a single sitting and was sad that it came to an end. Having some of my favourite characters Luca, Lilly, Zoe, Mateo and Tomas was an added bonus and I was happy to know what's happening in there life. I cannot wait for what's to come next by Jess. Thanks to Jess for the advanced copy of this heartwarming read.
The Sexy Billionaire is the first book I have read by JA Low, and I am obsessed with her writing style. I enjoyed this book from the very start. I love the star-crossed lovers trope, and this hit the nail on the head. The Sexy Billionaire is a contemporary romance with scorching hot spice, drama, and suspense. This book is part of the Italian Nights series and can be read as a standalone. I loved the angst and chemistry that both main characters had between each other. I could feel it burning the pages as I read this book. I loved the writing style of JA Low. Her writing was gritty and original and created a vividly detailed and delicious world. The characters were complex and had undeniable chemistry. I laughed and cried throughout this book.
Paige was sassy, independent, loyal, and determined. She was not a doormat and stood up for herself when it mattered. I hated to see her experience what she did in this book; my heart went out to her. She was hit with a lot in the beginning but got right back up to fight another day. I did love how she thrived and grew in this book. Gio was loyal, stubborn, and a total filthy-mouthed Alpha. My heart broke for him and what he was enduring throughout this book. He had a heart of gold and didn't want to disappoint anyone. I loved the backbone he grew and his single determination to get what he wanted most. I thought their story was heartwarming and heartbreaking. Their chemistry was scorching hot and was off the charts. Their story was a beautiful and exciting romance. The paths they took and the obstacles they overcame were captivating and kept me turning the pages.-By Brooke
I absolutely consumed this book - it’s fantastic! Prior to reading this book I re-read book 1 of the series, I found that it brought back to forefront many of the characters. Loved the setting - NYC and Italy. The fine details describing the food, wine, environment had me feeling I was there, honestly the real world just fell away. Paige is a wonderful FMC, loved her inner monologue and her BFFs that had her back the whole way. I could feel Paige’s grief and I honestly had tears in parts. The reflection on the past was beautifully written, those little snapshots really gives the storyline that extra boost. Gio also has a lot going on, finds himself being pulled in different directions- what he feels are his family’s expectations and then his own wants/needs and desire. Love his caring, possessive and protective nature. Love the growth both characters have throughout the book The relationship journey is bumpy for many reasons, loved their highs and lows. Their chemistry was completely off the charts, the steamy scenes were hot AF with some added kink. The family and friends that support the storyline are really great characters that have depth, some we have seen before in other books and others are new editions. Overall I absolutely loved this book and would love to see book three about Natalia.
Review of The Sexy Billionaire by J.A. Low * * * * * This is a cracker of former lovers coming back together as their lives take a massive hit, to reignite that flame! So far, my favourite book of the series.
Giorgio's well structured plan for the marriage he had to portray to the world has come to a crashing stand still, since his future bride had feelings for someone else. Someone unexpected. Someone that could lead everything to drama. Paige's marriage and career has decided to make a massive U-turn from Okay-ish Boulavard to SO DIVORCED highway. After coming back from her beloved great-aunt's funeral, she's walked into a paticularly gruesome discovery that her marriage was a lie. Who cares! Things are going to start looking up for Paige, and one of those things starts with a text the ex. Their lives and plans are a mess, but there is no way they are going to let each other go again.
My inner demon was giddy and loving the situation that was happening with Paige, how it was all just down hill that it skyrocketed to the stars! Loved it! LOVED IT! I was on a high with how awesome karma could be! Giorgio's situation was great too, because it revealed something about a character from the previous book and had us look into maybe why they were the way they were. WANTING MORE! SO BADLY!
After the loss of a loved one and the gift of an unexpected inheritance, Paige walks in on her husband cheating on her with the sous chef of the restaurant they own together . . .
On the day of his engagement party, Giorgio walks in on his fiance cheating on him with the most unexpected of partners . . .
Both have sworn off of love and relationships as they try to wrap their heads around their new realities. But reconnecting at a funeral has them rekindling a friendship and so much more if only they can navigate their own feelings, their friends and family, an ex gone insane, and the press.
I adored this second chance romance of teenage lovers coming back together after 15 years apart and so many life experiences making them into the adults they are today. Paige is feeling lost and confused and Gio becomes a lifeline as she navigates her new world. And, Gio has become so jaded and Paige becomes his reason to move forward rather than hide away burying himself in work.
It's sweet. It's suspenseful as the crazy ex continually ups their threats and danger level. It is also incredibly sexy and not safe for work. The Sexy Billionaire is so much more than the trope-ish title lets on. It’s unexpectedly deep and utterly fabulous as both Paige and Gio have a second chance at forever. 4.5 stars!
Paige’s great aunt had passed away and while she was Italy laying her to rest she finds out that she inherited her aunts estate in Italy. Giorgio went to the funeral to pay his respects as Paige’s great aunt was a close family friend and silent business partner. After finding out his fiancée was cheating on him the night of his engagement party he got drunk and messaged the one woman whose heart he broke 15 years ago. Paige life had imploded when she returned home from Italy. She walked in on her husband burying himself into one of their employees,. The last thing she did not expect to hear from the one man she swore she never speak to again. The man that broke her heart 15 years ago. Now Paige is in Italy to get away from her ex. Will she forgive Gio? I really enjoyed this book. I felt the chemistry between Paige and Gio jumping off the page. Watching Paige battle with her own heart and afraid of being hurt again like she did 15 years ago. Her dealing with her ex pulled at my heart strings. Then there is Gio who had to shed many of his layers that he built over the years. He was always doing for other and never for himself. This is a standalone but has interconnected characters. I would suggest reading The Sexy Stranger first. I can’t wait for JA Lows next book.
THE SEXY BILLIONAIRE (Italian Nights, #2) . . . What can I say? After reading The Sexy Stranger and the information that I found in that story, I am left trying to figure out why it would matter if Giorgio is a billionaire when he is a prince. All will be revealed. I had to just pull up my boot straps and start reading. On to the tale of Paige and Giorgio. What titbits would I find inside the pages that would have me falling in love almost as much with Giorgio as I did with Luca.
There was no disappointment with this installment in the Italian Nights series. I fell in love with Giorgio and Paige. I think Paige had me before Giorgio did. Giorgio and Paige were getting a second chance to make things the way it could have been or better than the first time around.
I still had issues with the family. Sometimes sisters can be a real pain, but then it's that one time when something really good comes out of it all. I got a twist or two and that was amazing. I had time with Luca, Lilly, Natalia, and some new friends. I would have really loved to have met the aunt outside of memories and Paige's close call. I wonder what will be next?
"The Sexy Billionaire" by JA. Low is a captivating read that effortlessly blends romance, drama, and a touch of humor. From the very first page, I was drawn into the glamorous yet complex world of Gio, the charismatic billionaire, and his undeniable chemistry with the strong and independent Paige.
JA. Low's writing is both engaging and fluid, making it easy to become invested in the characters' journeys. The author does a fantastic job of balancing steamy romantic scenes with moments of genuine emotional depth, ensuring that the story remains relatable and heartfelt.
What I particularly appreciated about this book is the development of the characters. Both Gio and Paige are well-rounded and face their own personal struggles, which adds a layer of realism to their romance. Their interactions are filled with witty banter, making their relationship feel authentic and lively.
Overall, "The Sexy Billionaire" is a delightful escape that promises to make you swoon and smile. It's perfect for readers who enjoy a good romance with a touch of sophistication and a lot of heart. JA. Low has crafted a story that's not just about love but also about personal growth and overcoming past hurdles, making it a truly enriching read.
Paige’s life just imploded. First her great-ant dies and leaves her a title, properties, and charities. Then she finds her husband cheating on her. Only, he never filed the paperwork so they’re not really married. Then said ex turns nasty. The upside to all this is Giorgio, or Gio, and them reconnecting after fifteen years. Gio was also the man who broke her heart fifteen years ago and Paige is hesitant to be more than friends. But in protecting Paige from her ex, Gio and Paige find those feelings are still there and explore to see what could be now. But what happens when Paige’s ex tries to end their happiness?
Paige and Gio get their happy ending in this standalone book in a series.
Gio’s life during all this was just a chaotic but there didn’t seem to be as much malice behind what happened to his as what Paige was going through. It was really big of Paige to walk away with nothing when she could have afforded to take her ex to the cleaners if she wanted to. It would be interesting to see what there was between Paige’s brother and one of her best friends as I feel there’s a story there. It will be interesting to see how the outcast sister comes back into the family in the next book!
The Sexy Billionaire is the 2nd book in the Italian Nights series and is about Paige and Giorgio. Paige spent many summers in Tuscany with her great aunt Lucia. Who lived next door to Giorgio but due to mistake Paige didn't go back. Now 15 years later, her Aunt’s passing and a moment with grown-up Giorgia sending his condolences. This has brought them back together, at least as friends, as she’s married and he’s engaged.Paige lost her Aunt Lucia, and her own husband didn't even go with her to Italy for the funeral. Then Paige finds out that she has inherited a ridiculous amount of wealth and assets from her late aunt, she runs home to her husband to tell him the good news. When she came back she finds him with another woman, so she flees to Italy and files for divorce. Only her husband is doing everything in his power to not allow that. Giorgio is having an equally bad week.Gio finds his fiance cheating on him and breaks the engagement. They are two both two hurt and confused people who lean on one another. I loved both Paige and Giorgio and how they overcame there past to be together. Does have some suspense and family drama but you get no clues from me.
The Sexy Billionaire was a second chance story that I couldn't get enough of so it was easy to read in one sitting. Giorgio & Paige fell in love with each other as teenagers, but something happened that broke her heart & neither really got over the other. She got married while he's supposed to be getting married as his duty for the family until he catches the woman cheating on him at their engagement party. He had already come face to face with Paige when she's back in Italy for her beloved aunt's funeral, but after his world was rocked, he decided to message Paige under the influence LOL! Paige comes back home to find her husband cheating on her so maybe just maybe this time Paige & Giorgio will get it right. He's determined to get her back while she's a harder sell but one thing is for certain, these two are perfect for each other & the sparks never went away. There's a ton of angst to this story with both of them going through things but there's also heat, humor with the supporting cast, a tad bit of suspense, and maybe just maybe a happily ever after! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Tropes include: Billionaire Second chance Childhood Friends Destined to be together Holy gezzz!!! I absolutely love JA Low’s books! This one was no different. When I received this book, I didn’t realize it was book 2 and I have not read book 1, it has now been downloaded! The steam and passion that Gio and Paige share is truly something that most people never have. They lost so many years together since they were young but after Giorgio broke her heart Paige just couldn’t stay. Finding and building a life of her own, she found love and began living her life. Tragedy brought her back and a brief meeting with Gio stirred up past feelings but she was married and left the feelings where they belonged. But after Paige’s broken marriage and Gio’s cancelled engagement, they find themselves connecting via texts and realize they have so much more in common. They each begin looking forward to the banter back and forth and texting with one another. This was such a great story, you don’t want to miss out!
Get ready to be swept away to a country that speaks of love, magic and second chances. We see a man who just wants to be himself even though he is a man of wealth and the woman he has never forgotten. Seeing Paige go through a messy break up was never something she expected. All she wanted was the man she married to be there for her but instead is betrayed in way she never expected of him. I mean this guy just is well scum in every way and the things he does to Paige is terrible. Then we have Giorgio who is going through a breakup yet somehow in a way it feels like freedom for him. These two were once connected and seeing their love once again was truly magical in a way JA Low just brings it to life so easily. We see the beautiful scenery of Itay, Rome and Paris along with Luca, Lily and Natalie. One thing for sure really hope there is more of this family especially Natalie just something about this country that sweeps you away.
"I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own."
Yes I read this in one day. It was an easy and smooth read sort of like a fine whiskey. It just flowed.
The second book in the series is about Giorgio. He is currently engaged to Giada. A fabulous model who fits in his world if not in his heart. At their engagement party he walks in on her sex with an unexpected person. This causes not only turmoil in the family but the end of their engagement.
Paige is in Europe attending the funeral of her great aunt. Paige is married to Michael who was too busy to leave NYC for a month because he’s running their restaurant. Paige and Gio reunite at the funeral. They haven’t seen each other in 15 years - since they were teenagers.
Paige returns home to find her husband having sex with his sous chef in the kitchen of their restaurant. After a scene she storms out declaring she’s divorcing him.
This is a old lovers reunite, stalker, billionaire love story. There’s a LGBT subplot and lots of sex with a touch of kink.
There’s a HEA for Paige and Giorgio. Read this on Kindle Unlimited.
This is Giorgio and Paige's second chance romance. Paige has been having a hard time as she is in Italy for the funeral of her favorite Aunt. While dealing with that she comes across her childhood EX who is all grown up. When she returns home it's to find her husband's betrayal. Gio is on the other side of the world dealing with his own betrayal by his fiancé. When Gio and Paige reconnect, they become the perfect friends helping each other deal with their heartbreak. There are so many wonderful things to say about this book, I just can't say enough. We see wonderful growth in these characters as the story goes on while the pace was just perfect. It was so swoon worthy the way these to find their way back to each other. Overcoming trust issues and past mistakes. Gio was the perfect book boyfriend and the steam and passion between these two when they finally take that step heats up the pages. I was given this book as an ARC for my honest review.
This author is hit or miss with me. Honestly, the only reason I follow her is some of her books have great spice. This series isn't as spicy. This book, in particular, is slow. It takes too long for the MCs to even be on the same continent other than for a couple of paragraphs near the beginning, which was at a funeral.
I liked Gio, but found Paige to be a witch with a capital B at times. And I don't mean when she was defending herself to her ex. But in those scenes, her words were sometimes immature and OTT. She also had some TSTL moments. Sometimes that L was live and sometimes love.
She also needs a better editor and some grammar lessons. There were many errors with personal pronouns and many run-on sentences. I don't understand how an author has so many published books but doesn't know better. However, it happens with a lot of authors.
Do you love second chance romance? If you do then this is for you!
The Sexy Billionaire is a second chance romance between Giorgio and Paige. They unexpectedly run into each other at Paige’s great aunts funeral after not seeing each other for years. This sparks up old feelings even though Paige is married and he husband is at home running their restaurant and Giorgio is engaged.
Second chance romances are one of my favourite tropes. This love story was full of twists and turns but we end up with a HEA! The journey was so worth it!
I love we get to see Luca and Lily from The Sexy Stranger and I can’t wait to see who’s book is next! The Italian Nights series is one I’m really loving!

Thank you to JA Low for an ARC for my honest review
This is the second book in this incredible series, and this is Giorgio and Paige’s story. Paige is devastated at the loss of her great aunt in Italy, whose estate she inherits. Giorgio is a sexy billionaire, who is about to enter into a marriage of convenience. When Giorgio and Paige meet at her aunt’s funeral, old feelings are rekindled. Will Giorgio be able to get out of his engagement, and how will Paige react to her husband cheating on her? This is a well written emotional roller coaster, with loss, grief, family, friendships, heartbreak, scandal, stalker, danger, suspense, intrigue, humor, witty banter, second chances, betrayal, and love, which leads to an entertaining, heartfelt, and steamy addictive page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.
Paige spent many summers in Tuscany with her great aunt Lucia. Her brother Smith and her neighbor Giorgio (who she spent a few summers sharing all their firsts). We begin the book with the great aunt’s funeral, and a moment with grown-up Giorgia sending his condolences. It has been fifteen years since they have conversed, due to a mis-step.
Paige is married, and Giorgio is engaged. But all is not as it seems, and relationships fall apart. A drunk text results in greater contact. Danger, lies, and a saving boon from her great aunt.
So relatable, emotional, unexpected, and the saving grace of friends and family. A delightful read. I adored these characters and their interactions.
I am voluntarily leaving my honest review of this book
