Loathing a Landon (The Barrington Billionaires Book 12) Kindle Edition

by Ruth Cardello (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 2,527 ratings
💛 A lighthearted billionaire romance by New York Times bestselling author Ruth Cardello 💛

Cooper Landon knows what it’s like to be left behind, lied to, and betrayed. At sixteen, angry and broke, he tried to rob a small-town hardware store. Instead of money, what he got was a good beating and a second chance. Pete Glenford took him in, taught him he wasn’t worthless, welcomed him into his family, and gave him a purpose.

A decade later, Cooper lives in a small town, works in a hardware store, and uses what little money he has to locate and help runaways. He can't change who he was before, but he'd feel good about his new life if it wasn't for one minor issue—Pete’s daughter. She never wanted him in her home, never trusted him with her parents, and doesn’t believe any of his lies.

He definitely shouldn’t have slept with her.

Ruth Cardello hit the New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers Lists for the first time back in 2012. Millions of her sales are evidence that her books are akin to potato chips, addictive from the first one. She has created a multi-series billionaire world with a combination of escapism and realism that has gained her a faithful following of readers.

What Kindle Reviewers write about her:

"Wow, hot at every page. Heart-stopping, fear raging, mind-blowing wonderful."

"I'm a true fan of Ms. Cardello. I ran on to her first book a few years back and have been hooked ever since. I could go on and on about the story like of this book, but I'm not. All of her books are total page turners, unique, heart-wrenching, and I love them all. There aren't two alike in the bunch and I feel like I know the characters personally. I personally read 97 authors' books. And I buy every book they put out. This author is in my top 10. Great job and keep them coming."

"Love this series. Got me to start reading again. I look forward to the next book. Thank you for giving me the love of reading back."

Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York--then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.

She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been happier. When she's not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm or connecting with her readers online.

    As I delved into the narrative, the pages revealed a profound tapestry of human emotions—raw pain, unbridled greed, deep-seated loneliness, tender compassion, and transformative love. If only we could transcend our individual differences and unite with a shared vision of collective well-being, we might unlock a more harmonious and fulfilling existence for every soul.

    Barrington Billionaires book 12. Brilliantly written. A simply stellar read. Cooper and Amanda have circled each other ever since he came to town as a teen. Amanda comes back home and the crazy ish begins. Their feelings have not lessen as time passes. All this comes to head on one faithful night. Cooper has been hiding who he truly is to protect everyone. Amanda is pregnant and Cooper must come clean. However the town steps in and helps protect one of their own. Loved seeing Bradford and Clay. There are lots of twists, turns, WTF drama, angst and oh so tingle worthiness. The best part is the town stepping in, Mrs. Williams steals the show. It's beautiful, funny and has so much heart.

    I read the first 6 books in this series several years ago. This is book 12 so I have some catching up to do. This author is a consistently good writer. I moved on to some other authors after reading many of her books, but I enjoyed this book so I will have to read books 7 to 11.
    This book is well written and edited. The characters are likable and believable. Minimal angst and suspense. Several sexy scenes I would rate as hot. Minimal rude language.

    This was a wonderful story about Cooper and Amanda and their unconventional way to a HEA. Cooper thinks he is unworthy and doesn’t realize that he is respected and loved. Amanda loves him and wants him to be part of her life.
    I want to live in their hometown. The town’s people support and protect their own. There is romance, secrets, humor, family antics, and so much more in this book. I would recommend this book and series. I was given an arc but this is my honest review.

    I don't know how she gets her ideas for the stories and also the characters. I was blown away with this book so much so I didn't put it down till I finished in one night. I love the characters the kindness and the unity that they all like expressed. It kind of makes you wanna go out and find a town just like the town Ruth described. You can fill the desperation Of Cooper early childhood as it's described by him to Amanda in her parents. In the end after reading this book I felt like I would have liked to be a member of this town the way they stick together And defend and help each other. Great book!

    Loathing a Landon is a great addition to the Barrington Billionaires series. Connor is hiding from his past and his brother who he thinks hates and wants to "get rid" of him. So a new name, a town in Maine where everyone knows everyone and they all protect their own. Amanda and Connor had a spark the moment they met as teens. Connor would always protect Amanda but felt he was never good enough or stable enough to do anything about it. Time changes and so does love and the truth you always thought was real is not the truth. I loved this story. It's smart, well researched, I couldn't put it down. This whole series is gripping. I wholly recommend this series to all. Another awesome read from Ruth Cardello. It has all the feels.

    Cooper had so many things happen to him until he was a teenager and able to get away from the circumstances. He ran into Amanda and her family that took him in. They lived from afar and finally came together when they were older. It was a really great story. I can't wait to read about the rest of the people from the town.

    I generally love her writing as a means to escape, a source of joy. Maybe it’s just me, but this felt so painful I skipped %80 of this. I need to feel it. This book did not do it for me. It felt annoying & disingenuous from the start. I’ve always loved her work, so I feel so disappointed by this book.

    Buckle up for a spectacular ride, and fall in love with Conner and Amanda, their stories are told in the same loving, passionate voice readers have come to adore in Ruth Cardello other series. Some of the Wickeds’ love stories will be hilariously fun and deeply emotional, others will tear at your heartstrings and include injections of humor, but they will all leave you wishing you could climb between the pages and join them!
