She has a broken heart. He has a broken body. Together, they’ll find healing in the Great Australian Outback.
Marlo never expected to find love in Australia—far from it, she hates the place. She’s got a crappy job, her fiancé has just left her, and all she wants now is to buy a ticket home to America.
Then she meets Jack—a handsome, rugged Australian billionaire with a wild streak; as good at handling horses as he is at tumbling in her bed. He owns a station in the middle of Australia, and when she takes up his offer of work, sparks of attraction between the two quickly blossom into romance.
But something is wrong.
Marlo is the one with the broken heart, but it’s Jack who is acting strange—like a storm cloud hangs over his head. It has something to do with the eyepatch just above those kissable lips, but he doesn’t want to talk about it. All Marlo knows is it’s an old childhood tragedy, come back to rear its ugly head.
Jack has healed her broken heart. But that might not be enough in the vast Australian Outback. Because Jack too is broken.
And it might take more than she can give to heal him.
Outback Billionaire is a standalone romance with a happy ending.
But be warned this book is as hot as the Australian Outback! It contains smoking action between a feisty American woman and a sexy, bad boy Australian Billionaire, including sizzling scenes which are for adults only.
Read this book if you enjoy intelligent romance, hot love scenes, and bad boy billionaires with sexy Australian accents!

Outback Billionaire The Billionaires of Australia edition by Nikki Steele Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews
Thank you Nikki Steele for the ARC in return for my honest review of your book.
If you have a love for and are a fan of romances but are tired of books about the millionaire/billionaire crowd that are filled with pages of descriptions of the glassed walled penthouse apartment he lives in, the beautiful gowns he gives his newest interest, the pomp and circumstance of evenings that end just as he has arranged - with a sky full of fireworks just for her, the lengthy descriptions of his many rare and often Autobahn ready cars and the beautiful jewels that he hands out as if they were macaroni necklaces, then this book was made for you.
Jack has great riches. However his character is much more than suits custom cut and expertly tailored just for him and Italian leather loafers. He dresses as an every man; a man in a pair of well worn jeans and a t-shirt. He owns powerful rides, but they happen to be helicopters; one to get him into Sydney and the others to muster his cattle. He works hard to keep his land, his cattle, his horses and his staff well taken care of. Plus he works his land just like his staff. He gets dirty and sweaty, rained on and muddy. He is also a man scarred by a nightmare that has left him with only one eye and a pirate-like patch to prove it!
Marlo has fantasies of being a Hollywood actress. Instead her manager/fiance has her placed in a show as far from her Hollywood dream as possible; as the sexy girl in the rodeo ring to keep the attention of the audience. She has a tender spot for the horses in the show, dislikes the managerial style that allows the horses to be hurt into submission but feels helpless to do anything. She is following her fiance's advise that this show will be their ticket back to Hollywood.
Jack with his unknown past, and secrets that make him grumpy and often outright angry, takes an interest in Marlo after seeing her treat a whipped horse in a serious lather with kindness and a carrot. He cannot get her out of his mind, even though he is in The City for personal business that takes a lot of attention and builds up his stores of anger. Anger at the treatment of the rodeo animals and more that he will not discuss.
Marlo has had enough of beaten animals, a charlatan fiance/manager and a career that is getting her nowhere fast. Her money disappears into his hands when she confronts him and that is when a tired and hopeless Marlo meets a life-angry Jack.
That is it for my character analysis. I could go on, but I am not a believer in big spoilers. Above is further than I would normally go. I made an exception for
* French Pressed Coffee
* Descriptions of the Scent of a Man (okay, I am a sucker for any book that goes into the details of how a man smells to a woman who is smitten by him. It was with great joy that I discovered that Ms. Steele does not repeat her words and often he smells a bit different than he did the last time her nose was up close. He has his natural scent, which attracts Marlo but he also takes on the scent of the scene. That kind of detail should not go without great praise. Thank you Ms.Steele for understanding what makes men attractive is not all that one can see. It is all the things one cannot see that grabbed at me through simple but meaningful words.)
* The Expectations that those who Work for their Money, Work... no matter how pretty or wealthy they may be
* The lack of flashes of money, page after page. I preferred the descriptions of a country I don't know and dirty jeans and worn work boots.
* The reality that money does not solve all problems, sometimes it takes people and emotions and trust and luck and belief in something too powerful to name.
* The treatment of animals with kindness and not the power that man can have to hurt an animal under his charge.
* Most of all I made an exception for Love in all it's forms; from betrayal to friendship to trust to passion and so much more.
I suggest you read for yourself about Jack and Marlo and decide for yourself if the words on the page transport you to a land of great beauty, of gorgeous sunsets, surprising treats like waterfalls in the middle of what seems to be parched land now hungrily sucking up rainwater and an opportunity to love for however long these two seemingly very different souls with different dreams may have together.
My suggestion is to grab your cup of coffee, and if circumstances allow; sit outside and read this book. There is beauty to be found in nature, even in a big city. Take advantage of it. Follow the story of this billionaire, not for his money but for how much he is like the man you currently love, once loved or dream of loving.
"I received a complimentary copy of this book and have volunteered to leave a review."
I must confess that I haven't used to read this particular writing style in the books I read. On a first sight, Outback Billionaire, seemed almost poetic with all these notably characteristic words which used to describe every detail or every emotion. It's a narration I wasn't accustomed before. However, this unexpected change of rote unrolled the same feelings on me like any other love story I had the pleasure to read so far, making me immensely happy for the chance to read this story.
The story is taking place in the Outback of Australia, the vast, remote interior of Australian countryside, which isn't welcomed to everyone who wasn't used to its difficult conditions. We all know the endless expanse of land and the many cattle or sheep or goat stations, which are located inside it, claiming millions of acres inland, keeping safe their animals into their property
Jack is one of these station owners. His life is where the Outback life exists, having not one single need to live the urban luxury, billions of people enjoy to have. However, he had an obligation to visit the city of Sydney, every four or six months for a health check. On one of these visits there, he went to an Outback show to spent his free time there and also, to observe how the owner of the show treats his animals. He met there an American woman, Marlo, and after a not so pleasant moment between her and her boss, he gave her a job at his station. Despite his well manners, Jack wasn't always an easygoing man to interact with. He was quick-tempered, edgy and curt, defects that made his life, and all the other people around him, much more difficult than already was. Nevertheless, Marlo's contrasting character and attitude, snapped a thick wall in him and for the first time, in his life, he felt that his future might not be dark anymore.
Marlo, never expected to spent her days in Sydney working as the Queen of the Outback show. Her dream to be a famous actress of Hollywood was a long fantasy now that she was deep in dust and horse smell. However, her fiancée, and manager of hers, was certain that his idea to do her debut role out there was brilliant. Well, he was a jerk!!! For all that, and after an unexpected, terrible situation, Marlo was in the middle of a serious decision; to work or not for this unknown man who proposed her a job in the real Outback. Her decision was crystal clear on a heartbeat and the journey of hers, after that decision, was nothing she ever imagined. It was an adventure of a lifetime!
The interest Jack shown for Marlo, and vice versa, wasn't physical at first. It was the contrast Marlo had from all the other womens outhere, a mix of elegant posture, feminine attitude and thick American accent that caused Jack's attention on her. It was his diversity from everyone else Marlo ever met that caused her to feel attracted on Jack. Their connection happened after they realized that both had the same love for the land and animals. It was a matter of time, this love to bring them closer in an more intimate level, which both craved but still afraid to ask for. I was delightful to observe them shown their affection to each other, as only them knew how. Two different, broken souls having the same feelings and needs, proving with acts how much they care, how deeply they love. I was rooting for this couple! Until, the inevitable happened and their personal paradise was dissolved.
I honestly enjoyed and liked the unknown, until now, writing style of this book. The author was well versed in every part, every detail about the Outback of Australia, providing with great intelligence the beauty of this unknown world many of us won't have the luck to know by experience. Her love for the land was palpable through her words, helping me easily imagine how it looks without Google it. It felt surreal actually! Her talent didn't stay there, however. The way she narrated the blooming of Marlo's and Jack's relationship was what I liked most, even if she used the third person narration. Not too sweet, not too hedonistic, it had the perfect amount of vehement passion and vulnerability. I loved Marlo's character and understood her completely when she was in a quandary. I even loved Jack despites his rough character; he was a gentleman to Marlo and that was what counted in the end. I loved the story, it consumed me entirely, especially closed to the end, which didn't take long to come because the book was truly a page-turning story, making the time passes pleasantly and cozy. Just like I want a book to be!!! Hope I intrigued your imagination and made you grab the book yourselves and find out what's happening.
I can say after reading this book that I was a bit more disappointed with it. Up until now, I have read a lot of Nikki’s books and this one by far falls flat for me. So, let me recap the book a bit. You have an “wannabe” actress that is NOT in Hollywood but Australia? She’s got her fiancé/agent to talk her into going there. Let’s say that things are not going well for her but more for him and takes her money and leaves her there. Jack is the guy who will be kinda of our hero for her but he has his own problems. I want to go more into it but that will give a lot way about the book. I just didn’t find it too romantic and the sex was…really not that hot. I feel that Nikki was trying to much on focusing on Australia and its beauty. Now I know that Nikki has made changes to the book since she sent out the ARC version and I hope it was better than what I read. This book is being NOT her best nor her hottest one. I didn’t even feel anything for the people in the book; even with the bad news Jack got. I would give this book at 2.5 stars. I received a free advance reader copy of this book in exchange for and honest and unbiased review.
It was an interesting read. Well written where you could imagine yourself there.
Well written book. Characters were well developed and believable throughout the story. The plot was well thought out and a pleasure to read and different from what mainstream authors were writing.
I just loved this book. What a good book to read. Nikki has described the outback so well that I swear I was there. I have a friend who lives there, and she says it is well done. My emotions were all over, and I love that Nikki let us decide the future, and of course mine will have the happiest, for sure! The book flowed so well I was finished before I knew it. Looking forward to more.
