![Besting the Billionaire (Billionaire Bad Boys Book 2) by [Aimes, Alison]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51x48z8Y7mL._SY346_.jpg)
Alexander 'Alexi' Kazankov wants Winslow Industries, but Lily Bennett isn't about to let him have it without a fight. Yet, she never imagined Alexander would get under her skin the way he does. But the more these two push each other to come out on top, the more they risk both personally and professionally. Will things end in disaster, or will they fight for their shot at happy ever after?
Reading any book by Ms. Aimes is always an absolute pleasure, and this book was a highly entertaining, fast-paced enemy to lovers trope encompassing story that had me hooked from start to finish. Really, there was so much to love about this story such as the incredible main characters that go toe-to-toe to see who will come out on top; enthralling dialogue that was a wonderful combination of intense moments, fan-your-face romance and delightful banter that I couldn't get enough of; and which had a spellbinding storyline due to the main characters back stories, the obstacles they face on their journey to happy ever after and because of the touch of suspense that had me sympathizing with everything the heroine goes through since someone is out to make sure she doesn't win the battle between her and Alexander.
As for the main characters, I loved the challenge the heroine provided the hero because he's the type to always get what he wants and she doesn't make it easy for him. Certainly, she's smart, feisty and isn't about to let him win. Not when she has the best ideas to turn the company around and prove that the late Mr. Winslow was right to put his faith in her. Will Lily be able to win everyone over? Furthermore, I also liked how resilient and courageous the heroine is. She's fought hard to get to where she is in her life and I could understand why she continues to fight because of what she went through in her past. No way will she be weak again. While the hero, he's confident and determined to succeed, but he's never had a more formidable opponent than Lily. I also liked how protective he became of the heroine once he realized someone was out to scare her off. Who is behind the attacks -- both personal and physical -- on Lily? However, what I liked most of all about the hero was that he was loyal to those he cared about and that he was determined to do anything to prove to the heroine that she count on him. Will he be able to fulfil his wish to the woman he's always thought of as a second mom?
Overall, Ms. Aimes has penned a wonderful and captivating read in this book where the chemistry between this couple was powerful because of the fact that their enemies and determined to win, which ups the sexual tension until it explodes onto the pages in very passionate sex scenes; and the ending had me loving the lengths the hero would go to in order to show Lily that he'll always be there for her. Certainly, there's no way they should throw away their shot at happy ever after just so she could protect him. I would recommend Besting the Billionaire by Alison Aimes, if you enjoy the enemy to lovers trope or books by authors Kira Archer, Cate Cameron, Victoria Davies and Diane Alberts.
