Going Down Easy. Going Down Easy is the first book in Carly Phillips newest series, the Billionaire Bad Boys. In this story we meet Kaden Barnes, one of the creators of a new phone app called Blink. Kaden is as alpha as they come. He has trouble keeping an assistant for more than a day or two. That is until Lexie Parker takes on the job. Lexie is no nonsense, efficient, and all business. She is willing to stand up for herself and not take any gruff from Kaden. Lexie is one of the few who understands Kaden’s idiosyncrasies. This is due in part from her experience as caretaker for her twin sister who is bi-polar. In addition to be a wonderful assistant, Lexie is beautiful and modest, which attracts Kaden’s attention. This book is definitely hot and sexy with loveable characters that you want to support and cheer on hoping for that happy ending. The characters were well written, believable, and complex. They shared more than just the chemistry between them. I genuinely enjoyed reading this book, until I realized the trouble that would break up the two main characters about three-quarters of the way through, before it actually occurred in the story. That doesn’t mean it was bad, it’s just I prefer to be a bit more surprised with the twists and turns. I didn’t anticipate the final journey for Kaden and Lexie, which increased my delight in the story. Despite these feelings, I do recommend this book to other readers. I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Sacrifice is what it's all about!. Sacrifice. It's all about sacrifice for Lexi Parker. She's sacrificed her personal life and her professional one all in the name of love for her severely depressed twin sister. Lexi's life is difficult enough but when she starts her new job working for Kaden Barnes, software billionaire, it gets a tiny bit harder. It's especially difficult when sparks fly whenever they're in the same room. Great storyline! Fabulous and well developed characters. It's full of personal challenges, family hurdles and love. Fantastic as always from this amazing author! Received a copy via RockStarLit in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed is my own.

Enlighting. This book deals with anxiety, bipolar, depression and love. You find yourself emerged in the characters lives where you feel there is no happy ending in sight. Love does prevail.

Crazy not lazy

Going Down Easy. A little choppy. Good ending. Story needed more substance though

BEST BOOK EVER. I love this book and would suggest it to anyone

Tiggy/Cookie

Going Down Easy. A decent story line, but not crazy about what seemed to be the gratuitous sex scenes every few pages. Using less graphic words for sexual parts wouldn't hurt either.

Hot, Sexy and Sweet Romance!. This was a hot, sexy, sweet, emotional romance about two people who are perfect for each other and fill the voids left by other people in their lives. Emotional family issues and the bonds of friends and family that keep us strong during the lowest points of life. Kaden Barnes is a extremely hot alpha male with very specific needs and wants out of a PA and a strong aversion to trusting women. (his past is so heart breaking) Lexie Parker is a sexy, sweet woman with a caring and giving nature that has lost her chosen profession and is desperate for a job. Her sister is her first priority and has been for many years (how she lost her job) both her mother and sister are in need of care and treatment. All the while you are wondering if they can have a real relationship with her family and his current business issues and on going needs. Overall it was a very interesting, entertaining and enjoyable adventure and I look forward to reading more from this group.

I couldn’t get into it. I’m sorry, but this story didn’t reel me in at all. It was choppy, jumping fast through it and cheesy. I finished reading it, but found myself skimming because I wasn’t engaged. Won’t be reading from this author again.

My03vette

4 Star. I really enjoyed the story line and would have given it a 5 star but there was to much explicit sex that I don't really care for. Other than that it was a great book.

Going down easy. I LOVED this book. It didn’t take me long to read it. The story kept my attention. I love the style of the author. From one indie author to another, well done!

Carly Phillips never disappoints!. Loved it! The characters are authentic. The emotions and interactions realistic. I particularly like that Kade is an alpa with imperfections. His imperfections are the reason he no longer has a relationship with his mother. Kade was too much for her to handle. With that pain he believes he is not capable of having relationships let alone someone to love him, imperfections and all. Lexie is the perfect compliment to Kade. She understands his complex personality and begins to care for him. However, Lexie doesn't believe that she has the ability for a loving relationship either. She has family concerns and responsibilities that always come first. Lexie truly believes she cannot choose Kade over her family. Their story is touching and admirable. Kade and Lexie give each other what they believe is the best even if it means heartbreak.

The beginning of another great series. This is the first book in a new series, but can also be read as a stand alone, by Carly Phillips. Lexie is the care taker of her twin sister so she ends up taking a position as the assistant to a quirky Kaden Barnes, billionaire tech ceo with a past. There is some suspicious activity and wonderful story telling. You just don't want to put this book down. This couple has great chemistry and respect for each other. Will they be able to work through their trust issues. Can't wait for the next book in this series to see what's going on.

Annoyingly Addicting. Finished the book off in one day, couldn't put it down! Can't wait to finish off the rest of the series.

Going Down Easy. In Carly Phillips delivers again with a sweet but complex love story!

Going down easy. I loved this book so much I could hardly put it down. The sex scenes were sizzling hot. I just couldn’t wait to see if kade and Lexie would have a happy ending together!

ANOTHER HOT STORY FROM CARLY PHILLIPS. Going Down Easy (Billionaire Bad Boys, Book #1) Carly Phillips delivers another home run! I LOVED this book so much. I could not put this book down. Carly did a great job of showing both Lexie and Kade dealing with some sort of mental health problem in their lives. It gave them the ability sense what the other needed when they were having a bad time. At times I felt like my heart was breaking for Kade either in situations out in public (specifically how he orders his drinks) knowing his friends/business associates are watching how specific he is or when he slowly reveals parts of himself to Lexie, feeling out of control at the club or when things were not orderly. I loved how they both took care of each other. This book delivers on every level. I laughed, I cried and I cheered. (I really got emotional at the end). I always enjoy the strong friendships that Carly creates. I'm always a little sad when a series ends but no worries because Carly always gives us something even better. (I love how Ian Dare made a small appearance...Hi Ian! LOL). I received a complimentary copy for an honest review but I have a copy pre-ordered but I've still have my pre-order in!!!! Cannot wait for book 2! This is a must read.

Open Mind. You have to have an open mind to read this book. It has wild & sexy scenes but so does life. All in all it’s an enjoyable read, unless you’re a prude. I would recommend it if you’re into real life happenings. Otherwise better read something else. Love the ending.👍👌 Tweety

This story has a great twist that I didn't fully see coming!. Wow...normally I like to take my time reading a Carly Phillips book to enjoy the story longer, but I just couldn't put this book down....it was that good! Lexie Parker has been having to take care of her twin, Kendall for most of their life. Kendall is bi-polar. This wouldn't be so bad, but their mother also suffers from deep depression so Lexie's parents are no help. Lexie has put her life on hold because of Kendall. After losing her last job because of time spent away with Kendall, Lexie's dad gets her a job at Blink being the personal assistant to Kaden Barnes, one of the owners, and a general pain-in-the-butt, demanding man. Lexie is used to having to deal with demanding people because of Kendall and walks into the job taking over control. OMG, their first meeting was priceless! Lexie comes to realize that there are reasons why Kaden acts the way he does and she can deal with that, but she's having a harder time dealing with attraction to her new boss. As the two spend time together, their sexual chemistry is ready to explode! I just adored Lexi. She was a no-nonsense, straight shooter who gives as good as she gets and I just loved that! I also loved Kaden and how flawed he really was because of events from his past. These two characters really were made for each other. The entire story from their relationship, their families and work was wonderful. This story has a great twist that I didn't fully see coming. Awesome start to new a series and I can't wait for Lucas' story!

Great new seires!. Great new series from Carly Phillips. Going Down Easy is the first book in the new Billionaire Bad Boys series. This book stars Kaden and Lexie. Lexie is a caregiver to her sister who is bi-polar and has been in and out of treatments. Kaden is part of a group of guys who launched an app that just took off and made them loads of money. Lexie gets a job as Kaden's new assistant...but it doesn't take long for Kaden to realize that he wants Lexie in other areas of his life as well. Going Down Easy is a great read. It's sexy and fun. I can't wait to read more from the Billionaire Bad Boys and Carly Phillips!

Crystal Singer

Great start to a new series!. Great start to Carly Phillips new series!!!!!! This book made me want to reach through the pages and give Kade a huge hug! Right after I smacked him and kissed him ;). Lexie had every reason to run after she met and dealt with the demands her new boss had. But boy did she stand her ground. She was used to difficult people in her life. There was no better match for Kade than Lexie. You could feel their chemistry from their first meeting and it only grew from that point. This was a fast paced and fun read! Can't wait for book 2!

Yellville

Going down easy. Negotiating a work relationship ship that becomes personal causes misunderstandings. Love conquers all after complicated twists

Athena Squirrel

Fabulous Workplace Romance. I loved, loved, loved Going Down Easy so much! I was hooked within the first few pages; the plot mesmerized me and kept me reading straight through to the end! This is the best book I've read in a while, and I highly recommend it to everyone! The characters were complex, believable, and likable. Kade is a billionaire businessman with some quirks that make it difficult for him to keep a personal assistant. Lexie is his newest personal assistant. Both Kade and Lexie have secrets in their lives that keep them from getting close to anyone. Can the two of them mix business and pleasure, or will their secrets tear them apart? This is the first book in a new series, and I can't wait to read the next one! I was especially impressed with the tactful way mental illness was handled in this book. I was already a big Carly Phillips fan, but she has really outdone herself this time!

Mslizalou

Awesome start to new series. Once again Carly Phillips has blown me away with one of her books. I fell in love with Kaden Barnes quirks and all pretty much from the moment he appeared on the page. I also think Lexie Parker is one of the strongest heroines Ms. Phillips has ever written. Lexie Parker is once again starting over in her career thanks to always stepping in to help take care of her twin sister, Kendall. When she is offered a job at Blink as Kaden Barnes assistant, she ever expected to be immediately attracted to her boss and completely get all his quirks. I think because Lexie had been there for her mom and her sister dealing with their problems, she understood Kade's anxiety issues and his OCD issues easier. I loved that where his issues had been problems for people in the past, yet Lexie just saw it as another part of who he was. I loved that Lexie and Kade were both instantly attracted to one another and their chemistry was off the charts hot. Seriously they had some smoking hot love scenes and I fell more in love with them as a couple to more time they spent together. I hated that parts of Kade's past kept popping up messing with his current happiness. However, he proved what an incredible guy he was by making sure he always took care of his friends, even when it kept him from being completely happy. Going Down Easy was an amazing start to the Billionaire Bad Boys series. I loved Kade and can't wait to read the next 2 books to find out more about his partners in Blink. Thank you Ms. Phillips for giving me a non-traditional hero to fall in love with. Review copy provided by publisher

Believable. This book wasn’t all fantasy like so many romance stories. Dependable girl meets boy in need of dependable girl.

Nolaishome

Meh. I just knew which direction this book was headed when Lexie said she had a twin. The plot was predictable. I really just don’t enjoy a female character that is so selfless and “puts everyone first” to her own detriment. Why can’t she be selfless and strong? I just thought it was meh. Definitely will not be reading the next book in the series.

2kasmom

Falling hard. Kaden is shocked to find his partners have hired him a new assistant, Lexie. She does not take anything from anyone. If only she didn't make him hot. Lexie is thrilled to have a new job. She just hopes her past and secrets stay there. In the past. Now if she could just forget how hot her boss looked today in a towel.... Either dropping wet or totally dry, these two are hot for each other. With flirty conversation or totally hot looks, this is a couple who are falling hard. I enjoyed this book and cannot wait to see what new stories are coming next! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

Notimpressedagain

A romance story involving mental health. This is not just a romance story involving mental health; really, it’s an informational book about bi-polar, depression, ADHD and anxiety as well as those tasked with taking care of individuals with such disorders. It’s about the right and wrong way to care for them. Lexie had a mother with debilitating depression and a sister with no-polar. Between the two of them she has not been able to hold down a job or relationships due to the unstable nature of caring for them. Kade is an individual with ADHD and anxiety who hasn’t been able to keep a personal assistant or a romantic relationship. When her family’s disorders come to head with a previous accusation against him and it impacting the direction of his company, they can hardly seem to stay together. False accusations of date rape and its impact is a further issue tackled. I have to say that I’m happy for how it all came together and gave an HEA, but can’t say that the drama coupled with mental health lessons were my cup of tea.

"Going down Easy" by Carly Phillips. Sweet story. Well worth the read.

Housley

Enjoyable read. A sweet, at times intense tale. He has anxiety issues (amongst other things), she has a mother and sister with mental health issues. Leads have an instant attraction that blooms quickly. Outside peopleimpact on these two having an easy courtship. However, after some angst, sexy times and talking they get a swoon worthy HEA
