She does.
She always has.
Eighty seven billion dollars.
He’s overwhelmed.
She’s prepared.

To get to where you’re going, sometimes you need to step on a few people to get there.
Good thing her heels are sharp.
Michel’s Review
Beautiful Little Fool by K.K. Hendon is one of those books that you are either going to like or hate. It is not a romance. It is more of a dark thriller or psychological thriller. When I finished the book I questioning what I had just read. I didn’t particularly enjoy the book but at the same time I could not put it down. It was like driving past a horrific accident and fighting the impulse to look. Rather than turning away you ended up staring with morbid curiosity. I had to ponder on this story for a few days before I could formulate my thoughts to write a spoiler free review.
Beautiful Little Fool is masterfully written. The author wove a very complex plot that was meticulously executed. The twists and turns will keep the reader guessing. The final revelations will be a complete shock. The characters are well developed and play their roles to perfection.
It was very hard to like the main characters in this book. Neither one had qualities that a reader could invest in. On the other hand, their story was fascinating.
Ellis Carrington, the hero was the unlucky guy that was born under the wrong star. Nothing could of changed his destiny. He went from being an ordinary guy to a ruthless billionaire within moments when he inherited 87 billion dollars from Harold Feingold. The power and money affected him and changed his character. He suddenly had money and power. The only thing left to conquer was Cedar Reynolds, the most desirable woman in New York City.
Cedar Reynolds is the Queen of New York City. She is rich, smart,powerful, and exceptionally beautiful. She was billionaire Harold Feingold’s protege. She should of inherited his empire and 87 billion dollars. Now she will do anything to acquire this money. Even sacrificing herself to Ellis Carrington. After all she is Cedar Reynolds, the woman everyone wants to be.
The story begins with Harold Feingold passing away and the mystery of who will be heir to his empire. No one knows what his last will and testament contain. The one thing for certain is his last wishes will be carried out to perfection. He is still the most powerful man even from the grave. His power has no limits.
This book shocked me. Even though it was not my cup of tea, it was a very good book. If you are looking for a romance, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a book where there is redemption, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a book to mess with your mind and twist your thoughts, read this book. This is a psychological thriller that was written with perfection.
