Called an eccentric beast by the citizens of Amesport, Maine, handsome, sensual billionaire Grady Sinclair stays isolated in his mansion on a private peninsula. The arrangement suits Grady just fine—until an unassuming woman rings his doorbell, awaking his long dormant passion with her fearlessness. All he wants is to make the fiery blonde his forever. But will he have to become the monster everyone thinks he is to get his Christmas wish?

Emily Ashworth is desperate. The Youth Center has been robbed of all its money, and as the director, she has to find a way to give the town’s needy children the Christmas they deserve. With nowhere else to turn, she ventures to the mansion of a mysterious billionaire to ask for help. Warned to expect a beast, Emily is shocked to find Grady Sinclair a handsome and very sensual man. With steamy kisses under the mistletoe and seductive whispers while hanging the wreath, Emily finds there’s more to Grady than meets the eye. Is this misunderstood billionaire just a lonely soul who needs the gift of love for Christmas?

Honestly I think this book is the cutest thing ever. The story went a little too fast but honestly still really cute. I did think the book would be thicker but oh well. (🤷‍♀️) I did think that more could’ve been added and I was a bit disappointed and confused with the story. I really love how they explained their story and characters.

First book in a new billionaire series by Ms. Scott - I really like her books and she does not disappoint.

Grady Sinclair is the abused son of an alcoholic, after the death of his father the family was relieved but Grady never recovered from the verbal abuse and ridicule he suffered at his father's expense. Helping to increase the wealth of his family to billionaire status he and his brothers and sister, are all still close and while they each have a home in Amesport, Maine, Grady is the only one who lives there year round. Nicknamed the Amesport Beast because he is so anti-social Grady is content with his status.

Emily Ashworth runs the Amesport Youth Center, the place that helped her when she was young and after her boyfriend stole all their operating fund Emily is desperate to get the money for their annual Christmas party and replace their funds she decides to ask the "Beast of Amesport" for a donation. When he offers her a million dollars to spend the time before Christmas with him, she can't turn him down. And there lies a tale.

Wonderful and entertaining, this story is touching because of the perceptions people have about the ultra rich. I liked the storyline and how it was handled, the characters are not one-dimensional. Great short read!

Grady Sinclair is trying to escape his abusive past. Holing up in his mansion on the edge of Amesbury, Maine, he is known in town as "the Beast".
Emily Ashworth is Amesbury's local Youth/Community Center director. When her latest boyfriend makes off with the money that was supposed to go to the Center's Christmas party, Emily vows to get the money back. Her only option is to approach Grady and see if he would donate some money.
Grady's brother knows that Grady is pretty much a shut in, and will, on occasion, send a prostitute to his door, all of whom are turned away. When Emily knocks on his door one night, Grady assumes she's another prostitute sent by his brother and agrees to sleep with her. Not expecting that response, Emily is both horrified and slightly turned on. When Emily explains her problem, and that she has absolutely no idea who Grady's brother is, he agrees to donate one million dollars, in exchange for Emily agreeing to stay with him for one week. Confused as to why Grady would want her, she can't afford to pass up a million, so she agrees to stay through Christmas. Give him the holiday he has dreaded since childhood.
For Grady, this is love at first sight. For Emily, well, she's scared. Her last boyfriend only wanted her for her access to the Community Center's bank account. Grady needs to prove to Emily that he wants her for her.
I have to say, that had this been longer, the beginning would have made more sense, but the fact that Grady wanted to bed Emily at first sight put me off a little. At least there was more to this story than just sex. And the more was really good. This is the prequel to Ms. Scott's Sinclair series, which introduces us to the rest of Grady's brothers. His sister Hope is part of another series, but does have a cameo in this novella.
I can't wait to read about the rest of the Sinclair brothers. If they are as passionate as Grady, then we're in for a fun read!

“One minute to midnight,” a happy male voice pronounced loudly, making himself heard over the music. Grady snagged two glasses of champagne from a nearby table and brought one to Emily. His siblings, Jason, and Emily’s parents all gathered around them, and Grady’s heart felt as full as it could possibly get. He was here with the woman he loved, all of their family around them. It just didn’t get any better than this. “I can’t wait until later,” Emily whispered into his ear in sultry voice. Okay . . . maybe it could get better later, but he was still pretty damned contented. “Are you tipsy?” he asked Emily with a smile. She’d told him earlier that she got a little wild when she drank, so he’d made damn sure her glass was full all evening. “Maybe just a tiny bit,” she admitted, holding up her index and thumb with a fair amount of space in between. “Five.” “Four.” “Three.” “Two.” “One.” The entire hall exploded with cheers, the New Year being properly greeted by the people of Amesport. After Emily had hugged everyone in the family and bussed them all on the cheek, she grabbed Grady’s hand and tugged him onto the dance floor. “Dance with me,” she insisted, throwing her slightly intoxicated self into his arms without inhibition. Grady swooped her up into his arms, letting her feet float slowly back down to the floor. “Happy New Year, angel.” “Happy New Year, love,” she answered, her eyes glowing with happiness. “Tell me your New Year’s wishes and I’ll make them all come true,” she told him with conviction. Grady smiled down at her. “I wish that you would love me forever.” She smacked him playfully on the arm before letting him swing her into a dance to “Auld Lang Syne.” “You already have that. Think of something else.” “Impossible, angel. You already made anything I could wish for come true.” Her eyes started to shine with unshed tears. “I love you, Grady.” He pulled her closer and whispered into her ear, “I love you too. Thank you for giving me back the holidays. What’s your New Year’s wish?” He wanted desperately to give Emily anything she wished for and more. “I wish that you would kiss me,” she answered simply. “I’m a billionaire, and that’s the only thing you wish for?” He smirked, but his heart was secretly singing. “It’s what I want. You told me you’d try to give me anything I wanted,” she told him in a mischievous voice, tossing his own words back at him. “Anything you want, sweetheart,” he answered, his voice amused. Two seconds later, Grady had Emily bent over his arm, and he made damn sure that he gave her the sweetest, most passionate New Year’s kiss she’d ever had.

Loved the alpha male in Grady. He seemed like a really sweet guy. Emily and Grady seemed to be a good match. Even though it's a novella, everything happened really fast which made the story, more fairy tale than reality. I don't think most women would agree to spend a week with a man, they don't know, has been very reclusive, and is known for being rude even if he is a billionaire. But, hey, it's a great short, sweet, simple story with a cute HEA.

"You’re mine, angel. I need you more than I need anything else on this earth. Please don’t leave me. Ever.”

Swoooon!!! What is it about these Sinclair billionaires that have my heart fluttering and my insides going all gooey?!! Grady Sinclair is another drop dead gorgeous, deliciousness of a man who is UBER alpha! He stakes his claim on Emily Ashworth as soon as he sees her! That's the thing I love about all of JS Scott's heroes - they lay claim on the heroines and never let go! Their relentless pursuit and possessive streak gives me goosebumps every single time! Although this book wasn't nearly long enough for me to get my Sinclair fix, I still loved it! Ms. Scott has a way with words, her narrative always drawing me in from start to finish, and as always leaving me with a happy heart and a lovesick grin!!

All J.S. Scott's books are great but this one will definitely tug at your heartstrings. You are immediately drawn into a story you will not want to put down. I would highly recommend this book but you should read the first books in the series first. The Billionaire's Obsession and Heart of the Billionaire.
