I loved being back in the Bachman world and I can’t wait for book two to come out。 Cash is another strong, dominant Bachman, who likes control and Ella is a down on her luck woman whose life is spiralling around her, until Chase gives her what she doesn’t know she needs - his control。 The story was so good that I didn’t want to put it down。 It has a mystery/suspense theme throughout but is carefully woven into the story。 A well deserved 5 stars from me。
Crickett Grissom,

This book bring us back to the Bachmans。 It's been a little bit since we've had a Bachman story but there's a reason why the author has brought them back - their stories are wonderful。 The men are the right mix of dominant, sexy, gentle and sensitive。 The women are sassy and fun。 This story is a perfect example。 I loved Ella。 She was fun, sassy, slightly unsure of herself, and someone I can totally imagine being friends with。 Cash helps and supports Ella when she needs it, as only a Bachman man This book bring us back to the Bachmans。 It's been a little bit since we've had a Bachman story but there's a reason why the author has brought them back - their stories are wonderful。 The men are the right mix of dominant, sexy, gentle and sensitive。 The women are sassy and fun。 This story is a perfect example。 I loved Ella。 She was fun, sassy, slightly unsure of herself, and someone I can totally imagine being friends with。 Cash helps and supports Ella when she needs it, as only a Bachman man can do。 This story had everything。 There was giggles and happy times, sadness and tears, sexy times and worrying times。 I liked almost everything about this story, but I would have liked a bit more of a 'what happened with。。。' in regards to the people that were causing Ella problems。 This is a completely standalone, HEA story。 。。。more
BookKitten,
Yes, yes, yes! I am so happy that the Bachmans are back。 Cash is King is now on my list of favorite Bachman books。 Ella is a really solid character, I could totally feel her emotions and thoughts。 Cash seemed to be a distant too good to be true type of guy。 Turns out they were meant for each other。 Little Janie is sweet and funny too。 Such a good story。 Hits all the feels。

Brandie Summers,
Cash is one of my favorite Bachman men to date and I found Ella endearing。 The push and pull of their relationship mixed with very real emotions made this story a real page turner。 The spice was very nice。 Shanna Handel doesn’t disappoint, it’s a must read。
Siddhi,

I am so happy to be back with the Bachman Family once again。 This storyhas a compelling hero and heroine in Cash and Ella。They both oozed so much emotion, confusion, and untapped desire as they struggled with their budding relationship。 My head was spinning as I found myself saturated in their complex lives filled with angst, danger, romance, intensesex, and punishment scenes。A chance meeting late at night in a cemetery set off a chain of events thatElla Hart could never of imagined。 Cash Bachma I am so happy to be back with the Bachman Family once again。 This storyhas a compelling hero and heroine in Cash and Ella。They both oozed so much emotion, confusion, and untapped desire as they struggled with their budding relationship。 My head was spinning as I found myself saturated in their complex lives filled with angst, danger, romance, intensesex, and punishment scenes。A chance meeting late at night in a cemetery set off a chain of events thatElla Hart could never of imagined。 Cash Bachman was a man used to beingin control。 He was immediately drawn to Ella like a magnet and was determined to provide order to her chaotic life and prove her innocent as a person of interest in the death of her ex-boyfriend。 Ella found herself working for Cash as his secretary, which led to some interesting scenes in his officeas he acted as her Dom。 What started as a simple contract morphed out of control, with Cash being the shining star in Ella’s dark life。I admired Cash’s strength and compassion as he maintained the charisma and confidence one has come to expect from a Bachman。 Ella was awoman used to carrying the burden alone until she met Cash。 Hersubmission was a gift as she started to live the life she desired。 A wellexecuted story with likable characters by this talented author。 。。。more

This Bachman series just keeps getting better and better。 At some point you’d think the storylines would get repetitive, but the only repetitive thing is the quality。 Ms。 Handel is, first and foremost, a spanking romance author and this story is most definitely a beautiful romance but it is so much more。 The author weaves her romances within a context of real life issues, both good and bad。 While detectives leave no stone unturned, Ms。 Handel leaves no emotion untapped。 Cash is your typical alph This Bachman series just keeps getting better and better。 At some point you’d think the storylines would get repetitive, but the only repetitive thing is the quality。 Ms。 Handel is, first and foremost, a spanking romance author and this story is most definitely a beautiful romance but it is so much more。 The author weaves her romances within a context of real life issues, both good and bad。 While detectives leave no stone unturned, Ms。 Handel leaves no emotion untapped。 Cash is your typical alpha male Bachman, but there is trouble in his personal family life。 Ella has no personal family but there are all kinds of trouble in life。 There is so much more I would like to tell you about their relationship, their issues and the outcomes but that would involve giving out spoilers so I will have to bite my tongue。 Suffice to say that the story contains everything you have come to expect from a Bachman story along with deft handling of some serious emotional issues。 I would caution that there may be serious trigger issues for some, including abuse and suicide。 For me, it is her best story yet。 5 Stars。 。。。more

Cash is King is the Best!! You will not regret reading this book。 Cash has surpassed all other Bachman men for me! He is a man who goes after what he wants and he wants Ella。 It doesn’t seem like they should work but boy do they! Shanna Handel has another hit on her hands!! A must read author for me!

JUST KNOW—SHE’S MINEThe Bachman legacy continues with a few new twists。 Anyone who has read Ms。 Shanna Handel’s stories revolving around the Bachman clan will understand。 For those who haven’t, enough of the Bachman standards are laid out in the story that you won’t feel left out。 While the Bachman family has many businesses, some employees are not Bachman; it is a standard that people strive to achieve。 One of the most coveted is to become a Bachman Beauty, but that is by marriage to a Bachman JUST KNOW—SHE’S MINEThe Bachman legacy continues with a few new twists。 Anyone who has read Ms。 Shanna Handel’s stories revolving around the Bachman clan will understand。 For those who haven’t, enough of the Bachman standards are laid out in the story that you won’t feel left out。 While the Bachman family has many businesses, some employees are not Bachman; it is a standard that people strive to achieve。 One of the most coveted is to become a Bachman Beauty, but that is by marriage to a Bachman man。 The story’s plot will have Ella at a cemetery in New York visiting the grave of her previous boyfriend。 She is still haunted by that night and is still under police investigation as a potential suspect。 Her world is out of control, her job has been terminated, and she stumbles upon a man in the cemetery。 Cash Bachman is a haunted man, preparing for the future。 Seeing Ella in the cemetery has the dominant side of him coming out quickly, taking charge, and ordering her around。 Making her accept a ride with his driver back to her apartment。“I don’t take no for an answer。”The story has the perfect amount of mystery, suspense, suspensions, danger, dominance, and submission。 Of course, Cash will learn everything he can about the elusive Ella Anne Hart, and when she goes to Preston to terminate him as council, she will be given a new lease on freedom—or is it a prison? It comes with a contract for three weeks, working for Cash Bachman as a secretary, but he holds all the control—how she dresses, grooms, and his discipline。 Cash expects total honesty and isn’t afraid to push Ella’s buttons。 Cash: Were you scared? When you read the contract?Ella: Yes。 I was terrified when I read the contract。 I still am。 I mean, what woman in her right mind signs something like that from someone like you?Cash: Maybe one that’s looking for a little order in her life of chaos。Ella: I don’t know。 I mean, maybe under everything I was intrigued—or curious—or, I don’t know。 It was insane。 I knew I should have signed。 But maybe—there was a part of me that was intrigued。“This is madness, having her work for me, having her sign my contract。 She’s just a stranger I met in a graveyard。 Yet something about her pulls me toward her like the pole of a magnet。”The story is an erotic mix of dominance and submission, and Cash pushes Ella to the edge and then is there to catch her when she topples over。 She has a streak of defiance to see if he means what he says, and he does。 I love how she has a way of remembering, word for word, what she reads, and he makes her quote it to him—there is never a misunderstanding; it is all straightforward, so no excuses。 Cash doesn’t push her about the night of Aaron’s death, but he knows she needs counseling to help her。 When the three weeks are up on their contract, threats and messages send Ella running to Cash for help, and he does just that。 Taking her to his home in the Village and keeping her safe from the outside world—but what about from him? The story has the good, the bad, and the ugly of people, and it all comes out。 We learn that, deep down, Cash is a caring man, one who would do anything for his family—and those who are important to him。 The dance of dominance and submission between Cash and Ella is one that they both crave and desire。 While Ella isn’t a Beauty, she is accepted by the Beauties, and her self-esteem shines because of it。 With this addition, they are changes coming to the Bachman ways, to the Village, and best of all, to Ella and Cash。 Cash: God, I love you。 Being back here—it makes me know I was right all along。Ella: What do you mean?Cash: In the graveyard that night。 The first moment I saw you, I just knew。 I knew I wanted you。 I knew there was something about you I’d never be able to forget。Ella: I thought you just needed a little control in your life…Cash: That too。 But my need for control doesn’t explain the fact that I could never stop thinking about you。 Not for a single second。Ella: Well, if that won’t make a girl come—I don’t know what will。Beauties and Billionaires will continue with Preston and a girl he met when he was a teenager staying with his father at Cedar Creek。 Now he is on his way there; his father has died, but what became of Jules Verduce, the preacher’s daughter? The girl he has never forgotten about。 。。。more

As with every Bachman book, Shanna Handel brought out the big guns in this story with not one but two mysteries hanging over the heads of our protagonists。 Cash is a bit perplexing at times as he blows hot and cold like he's PMSing but fortunately Ella has the patience of a preschool teacher。 We do, as always, get our HEA, but we couldn't end any other way。 Thank you, Shanna Handel, for continuing this series, and long may it continue。 As with every Bachman book, Shanna Handel brought out the big guns in this story with not one but two mysteries hanging over the heads of our protagonists。 Cash is a bit perplexing at times as he blows hot and cold like he's PMSing but fortunately Ella has the patience of a preschool teacher。 We do, as always, get our HEA, but we couldn't end any other way。 Thank you, Shanna Handel, for continuing this series, and long may it continue。 。。。more

This was a book that pulled me right in from the very beginning! The storyline was well written, the plot flowed smoothly from page to page and the characters were created with such great detail and depth that as the story unfolded Cash and Ella kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book!

Another must read Bachman book! Interesting characters and storyline。 A tight knit group and community。 A river must read by Shanna Handel。 *I was given a copy and am voluntarily giving my honest review。
Beverly,
Their mouths say no, but their bodies say "h*ll yes, please"。 Cash and Ella go beyond fire straight to inferno。 The texting stalker was obvious to me from the beginning, but that didn't diminish the story at all。 Cash's secret sorrow was gutwrenching and made me shed some tears。 The proposal blacking scenes were hilarious。 Looking forward to Preston's story next。 Their mouths say no, but their bodies say "h*ll yes, please"。 Cash and Ella go beyond fire straight to inferno。 The texting stalker was obvious to me from the beginning, but that didn't diminish the story at all。 Cash's secret sorrow was gutwrenching and made me shed some tears。 The proposal blacking scenes were hilarious。 Looking forward to Preston's story next。 。。。more
