“Hostile takeover” by Christina C Jones🖤
I don’t even have the words to describe how much I liked this book. It was my first business romance in awhile. Ms.Jones does not disappoint, still waiting on the next book for this series😉. I don’t know if y’all notice but , I love a good badass and strong FMC that has no problem handling another badass MMC. This book is exactly that 😩. Nalani who is filled with such righteous rage is arranged to be married to Orion a cocky asshole—HOT ASSHOLE😉— to save her family business and save her mother’s legacy.
Let’s get into it ⬇️
For Nalani Stark, legacy matters… maybe more than most things.
Important enough that when that legacy — inextricably tied to her mother’s memory - is challenged, she’s forced to consider even the most undesirable options…
Such as a match made in hell with Orion Sterling.
The heir to the competitor she grew up being warned about.
Orion is a man well-accustomed to getting exactly what he wants. Other than opportunities to grow the family business, he’s moved by very few things.
One of which happens to be Nalani Stark.
They each have something the other needs, and only one way to get it : a contract that delineates exactly what each person takes from the arrangement.
Simple enough…
Unless feelings get brought into the exchange.
Please be aware that this work contains profanity, detailed sex acts, and depictions of violence. There are also mentions of pregnancy loss, parental death, grief, illness, and medical emergencies.

Okay, fellow romance readers, let's talk about 'Hostile Takeover' by Christina C Jones, because this book is more than just a read – it's an experience! When I first picked it up, I was immediately drawn into the classic enemies-to-lovers dynamic, which, let's be honest, is one of the best tropes out there. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching two characters who initially despise each other slowly, fiercely, fall in love. Nalani and Orion perfectly embody this, their fiery exchanges and undeniable chemistry making every page sizzle. It’s not your typical sweet romance; it dives headfirst into the 'dark romance books spicy chapters' category, so be prepared for a truly immersive and intense journey. What makes 'Hostile Takeover' stand out, especially for fans of the arranged marriage trope, is how Christina C Jones masterfully weaves in the high stakes of a family legacy and a business empire. Nalani isn't just marrying a rival; she's fighting for her mother's memory and her family's future. This adds so much depth to their forced proximity and eventual connection. It’s definitely not a 'closed door romance'; the passion and intimacy are front and center, making it incredibly compelling. This is part of what makes it a 'Black Romance Favorite' for me – the authentic character voices and the rich cultural context woven into the story. Many of you, like me, might be searching for 'books like Haunting Adeline' or 'novels like Haunting Adeline' that offer that same addictive, obsessive romance vibe. While 'Hostile Takeover' has its own unique flavor, it certainly delivers on the intensity and dark undertones. You get that powerful, almost dangerous attraction between the protagonists, and their journey is anything but smooth. It explores themes of power, control, and ultimately, a love that defies all expectations, much like what draws us to those darker, more complex reads. It hits that sweet spot of a 'happy pair of enemies' eventually finding their way, but not without significant challenges and growth. For those wondering about the 'Hostile Takeover Christina C Jones series,' this book is "Blackwood Billions Book One," which means there's more to come, and I'm already counting down the days! Christina C Jones has a way of crafting strong, independent female leads and equally formidable male characters who challenge them in all the best ways. If you're craving a story with a 'strong FMC' who stands her ground against a 'hot asshole' MMC, this is it. It’s truly an 'obsessive romance' that will keep you thinking about Nalani and Orion long after you've turned the last page. Trust me, if you're into 'spicy enemies-to-lovers' and the thrill of a high-stakes arranged marriage, you need to add this 'Black Romance Favorite' to your reading list NOW!
