  Theo Wolfe is a famous movie star who decides to start his own production company. The main lead has an injury that prevents him from being in the movie so Theo now has to step up into that role.
  Madeline Fox was a child actress but left that business behind to live a normal life. Now nearly fifteen years later she is back and no longer a child looking to make her break back into film. Theo isn't convinced she will be able to work with him so makes her audition with him. This angers her since she already has the part but goes along with his request. Their back and forth banter is hilarious, hot,steamy and full of angst. She is strong willed feisty, intelligent and independent.
  Theo is determined to get his new production company off the ground no matter what it takes. His parents never have been proud of him they say a real profession is a lawyer or doctor like his brother.
  The more they work together the more they become drawn to each other on the set and off. Neither one needs the scandal that they are hooking up so they have been sneaking around.
  Then things are overheard and feelings are hurt which causes misunderstandings and a chase across the country.
  
  Don't want to miss out on this sweet,funny romantic story.

  Touching the Billionaire is a great actor/actress read. This book is told from dual points of view from Theo Wolfe and Madeline Fox. Theo just started his first production company and is working on his first film, when the actor had an accident and he had to take over the role. Madeline was a child actor, but now that she is an adult she wants to get back into acting and got the role as the female lead.
  
  Theo is known for hooking up with his costars and is trying to prove he takes his job seriously and stops his ways with costars. Madeline wants to prove she has what it takes to be an actress as an adult. Working together and living in the same building they become close. As they are preparing to film intimate scenes they get close and end up falling for each other. They want to keep it a secret so people don't think Madeline is sleeping her way to the top.
  
  News breaks and they decide they should stop seeing each other. However the feelings are still there. Can they still work together on the movie with no feelings involved? Do they end up getting back together or going their separate ways?
  
  I really enjoyed this book, and can't wait for more by this author.

  Madeline Fox was a child star who left to have a normal life and is now attempting to make a comeback as an adult. Theo Wolf is an established star who now wants to make a name for himself in the movie production business. When the lead actor in his first production gets injured, Theo steps in to take his place. He has doubts that Madeline Fox, his co-star, can do the job since everyone sees her as the “child” actress despite her adult status now. He insists on an audition, which she doesn’t appreciate. But He can see that she can act and would do well in the part. Their chemistry is sizzling onscreen and off. But they don’t want to make it public fodder. But things are overheard, will this derail their growing relationship?
  
  The story line was well done and had some broad implications, at least for female readers, about double-standards and preconceived notions. But it was not preachy and still got the point across while remaining an enjoyable book. Grab your copy and see if their relationship was only a brief one while it lasted, or if they have something deeper they might want to try to keep.

  In one of my emails I subscribe to for books, someone recommended this story. Being that I hadn’t heard of her before, I was a bit hesitant to read it, until I read what the story is about. I was immediately intrigued because this fits with my topics I gear towards. Upon reading the first chapter I noticed a different mood it was written in, kind of a poetic and subdued way. I felt relaxed when I read it as the tone was very romantic and soft. What I also appreciated about this story is the fact that it was shorter than most romances I’ve read in the past, it was to the point, seamless and didn’t have any bullshit included. The flow was relaxed but also really quick, and on top of that I fell in love with the characters. There was a moment in the story when I thought it may not work out for them but then I realize that it always does and pushed that thought out of my head. In the end, I was left wanting more and hope that there’s a story about Oliver in the works because I really would like to read about his story.

  Theo already an accomplished actor decides to step up his game in Hollywood, opening a production company seems to be his interest.
  Madeline Fox was a child star who walked away from the lime light to live her teenage years normally. Now almost fifteen years later she has decided to step back into the Hollywood scene.
  Theo is bound and determined to make this venture a success no-one and nothing will stand in his way, but his first go round he has to step up to sub for his male leading role, then to top it off he has to work with Madeline as his co star. He is not convinced that she has what it takes to play with the big dogs and shows his butt by making her life difficult. Madeline is no push over and takes his demands in stride with a little sass of her own for good measure. They should make a movie of their real life situation it would be better press.

  It doesn’t take long for Hollywood heartthrob Theo to be smitten with former child star Madeline. The combustive heat between the two of them ignites quickly. I love how Holly Jaymes allows us to share their inner thoughts while filming the scenes for the movie. It’s especially entertaining being privy to Theo’s sexy wild scenarios running through his imagination as he thinks about what he’d like to be doing with Madeline. The best part was the play-by-play description of the sex scene they were rehearsing, which ended up getting off the charts out of control. It was a great book and provided thoughtful insights to what a lasting relationship needs to survive. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone!

  Madeline was a child actress 15 years ago. Now she is trying to get back into the field by auditioning an adventure movie. Theo has been and actor for many years and starting his own production company will lead him down another career path. So the first movie he is producing needs to be perfect. But hiring a child actress in the lead female role tank it. Loved the chemistry between these two characters. Misunderstandings and the fire between them keep tearing them apart and drawing them together again. Loved it

  Touching the Billionaire is a fast-pace read with misunderstandings, assumptions, fire and ice that has Theo and Madeline's story hard to put down.
  
  Theo had to step into the lead role of a movie he was producing, Madeline was a child actor looking to try it again now that she is older. When Madeline comes in for a "talk" to see if she and Theo are compatible, there are fireworks and heated gazes but not of the passion kind.
  
  Theo and Madeline's story takes you on their journey of finding love while navigating the acting, movies and the press.
  
  Great story to snuggle down to.

  Lovely story about two strong willed actors who fall in love with each other and have troubles not hindering the other’s future success in the movie industry.
  The back and forth between them is heartwarming and the ending is swoon-worthy!
  (The grandparents characters are so lovely, it’s great to have such ‘rocks’ when growing up, I would like to read their story...)
