Endeared (The Accidental Billionaires book 5) by J.S Scott is a 5 star read.
Owen and Layla had secret crushes on each other in high school with neither able to say the words out loud, Owen heads off to school to become a doctor. Many years pass before these two are thrown together again and now Layla seems to hate Owen, determined to get to the bottom off it Owen tries his hardest to get his former friend and now work colleague to open up to him and realise they were meant to be together.
This is one of my favourite stories by this author, her writing style keeps you interested from the first page until the last.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book through Netgalley.

This is the last brothers book, Owen, but, this is my first book in the series. I own the others but did not get the chance to read them. I’ll definitely try to find time now. Owen is the baby brother, a doctor now, not to mention a billionaire. He came home after school & residency, bought a clinic, which just so happens to employ his former best friend (and high school crush) Layla. She’s not happy to see him, but not saying why (though he used to be her crush too). Eventually, secrets are revealed, friendships mended, and so much more. I LOVED these two together. They both had tough childhoods, though Layla’s was tougher, but turned out to be amazing people. Their love and chemistry was swoon-worthy. So glad I read this!! Can’t wait to read the other brothers!!

Love this amazing series

Don't hesitate to grab this book and enjoy this conclusion to this Sinclair family!! J S Scott writes a beautiful love story that you will not want to put down!!

This is a Netgalley Review. All opinions are solely my own.

Endeared by J.S. Scott is book 5 of the Accidental Billionaires series. I will truly miss this family.

This book focuses on Owen Sinclair, the final Sinclair to get his book. Owen is a doctor who is not quite sure of himself. He's in love with his nurse practitioner, Layla, who he's known since they were kids. Owen comes up with a plan to get closer to Layla. It makes for some funny and sweet moments.

I felt like Layla was really holding on to her anger for a really long time and then just lets it go very quickly. I felt like this might have caused issues later in the book but it was never addressed again.

I loved the way his brothers tried to guide him just as they had done their entire lives. It made for some funny shenanigans and endearing fmaily moments.

There were several things that really pulled at my heart. Jaxton was the major one. I guessed his involvement completely wrong.

I can't wait to see what the next amazing work from J.S. Scott brings us.

Owen and Layla slayed it with the final book of this amazing series! Endeared threw me in for a loop. Broken hearts and promises. The emotions are riding high! I was excited to get Owen's story finally now that he is back where he needs to be. With Layla by his side, the sparks get out of control. You can feel the chemistry flowing. This family shows us that there is more than the eye can see. There is heart and loyalty. I loved it all!

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher.


This is the final story in the Accidental Billionaire's series, but each of these can be read as a standalone. Owen's the baby of the family and the doctor of the bunch.  While growing up he had two female best friends - but he only had romantic eyes for one of them - Layla.


Fast forward through med school and Owen's family becoming billionaires overnight.  Owen moves back to Citrus Beach, California to takeover a retiring doctors practice.  In buying the practice he inherits his former best friend, Layla, as his nurse practitioner.  


Something happened with Layla and Owen's friendship.  It's not as easy as it once was and Layla is determined to freeze him out every chance she gets. Y'all know what I always say - communication is key! 


Also there's that saying about what you become when you assume....yeah...that's definitely the feeling Layla has in parts of this book. She's able to get over that quickly, however, because Owen is such an awesome guy. 


Their budding relationship is all things new but also feels like coming home.  The author did a great job turning their turmoil into a happy ever after.  


Endeared is a compassionate contemporary romance you'll fall for the characters as you read.

This heroine needed to do a lot of growing up! I wanted to shake her so bad! the hero was out of this world and he deserved better, thank god she realized how childish her grudge was..

I absolutely loved this story. It is the last of the Sinclair siblings finding love and Owen Sinclair was one of my favorite characters in this series.

Owen is a doctor who has moved back to town after completing his residency. His nurse if Leyla and he and Leyla were close friends in high school until something happened and she hated him.

Now as they work together he has a BIG crush on her but she is still hating him. So he needs to find out what he did and get her to forgive him because he only wants her.

Leyla had a crush on Owen in high school until he let her down in a big way. But now they work together and she lusts quietly for him while hating him for how changed her life.

Owen is a different character than his siblings. He is a bit on the nerdy side. He is not into lotsa women, he wants Layla and only Layla and I loved him into her he was. Layla meanwhile is fighting her heart and her mind about Owen. On one hand he did her wrong but on the other, he is this awesome guy. Can she forgive him? Well you will have to read this story to find out.

These two are totally imperfect for each other. I loved this story so much but I am also so happy that the Sinclair siblings all found the perfect partner for them.

This is a wonderful series and each book stars a different couple and easily stands alone. It was a great frienemy story with a second chance at love storyline.

I received a free ARC copy of this book from the author prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It’s a bit odd saying good bye to the Sinclair’s and doing it with the little brother who has not been around most of the time while he was off at school. Owen has been in a different world a little stick by the one he left behind and not fully ready to embrace the one he comes back to. But when he sees Layla after all those years the old feelings he had for her never went way in fact now they are 10 years stronger.
Layla thinks Owen did her wrong and though it hurt she shut him out 10 years ago and is not so sure she wants to go back. But one look and some insurance by Owen to understand all Layla’s hate brings forward a huge misunderstanding and leaves room for the two old friends to start again.
Layla has some demons in her past that she needs to over come and Owen needs to figure out how to hold on to the only woman that has ever had his heart.
This is a true love story a couple misunderstandings but two determined soles that won’t let go and are holding on to forever.

4 beautiful stars!

Ms. Scott has created another touching story full of heart and emotion with genuine characters.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Loved it! The whole reason Layla wasn't speaking to Owen was lame but given what we later find out about her I understand her passive-aggressive behavior. Owen is truly a Sinclair through and through. He is incredibly smart, with a computer-like brain, gorgeous, funny, and quirky. Loves his family and is a good man. He made sure Layla was his and he wasn't giving up. I also loved the glimpse into Jaxston Montgomery. I can't wait to read his story in the Billionaire Obsession series. He seems really intriguing.

I know it’s the end of the Sinclair a. Am I sad? Yep in a huge way, but am I excited about her next books? Absolutely. Owen was just a character all in his own. The youngest of the “other” Sinclair a, the brainy one and the one who seemed to need to do more. I loved how he took control of his other best friend, Andie when she was ill. But this is about his other best friend, Layla. It was heartbreaking to hear about her childhood but I was thankful that J S Scott brought up the subject of depression. How it affects people, the end that some people think is the best way out. It was done with passion and knowledge and so sensitively with making a mockery of it. Owen and Layla were always meant to be together but I guess like most they just needed their hiccups in life to bring them to the point where they could officially be together. I loved the whole story. I am so looking forward to reading about the Montgomery’s.

I’m Endeared❣️

Owen is the next Sinclair to find himself in the hot seat😁 Owen has just returned to Citrus Beach and has bought his own practice to run. He discovers the one person he left behind ten years ago is working for him...but their “relationship” is tenuous and Owen can’t make heads or tails as to why him and Layla only have a professional relationship and why they are no longer friends🤷‍♀️

Suffice to say, Layla has a few secrets about her past that Owen isn’t aware of....but one of them - she blames him for and the direction her life eventually took😢 This story was great in the sense that friends, turned strangers basically became friends again and eventually something more😍 I loved how Owen, even though he came across as really sweet and dependable in previous stories, he really steps it up in this one to show a different side of himself🤩

I loved this story and recommend anything that J.S. Scott has written as all her stories are pure gold....or in this case....blue diamonds💎😜 I received an advanced copy via Netgalley and want to thank the publisher and author for my copy and I willingly leave my honest review❤️

When she was a teenager Layla had a very difficult life that she never shared with anyone and that included her best friend Owen. Even though her feelings for him were deeper than friendship she never told him and allowed a misunderstanding to separate them for a decade. Not only is Owen back in town but he is also her boss so when she realizes her mistake and he asks a favor of her she can’t say no.

After Owen found out he was a billionaire instead of working as a doctor in a rural location to payoff his student loans he was able to purchase a clinic back in his hometown. Now that they have cleared up the misunderstanding he is determined to show her that they are meant to be together and has devised the perfect plan to ensure she spends time with him but when they become close he realizes that there is so much more to her than he ever knew.

Their connection between them goes far beyond the physical as Layla shows that she is stronger than even she realizes, and Owen is the champion she needs in her life. Not only are Owen and Layla captivating characters but catching up with all the characters we know, and love is always fun.

I have really, really enjoyed every book in this series! The Sinclairs family has provided such a rich series, and each book is so unique and so enjoyable, and through it all, they're a family adjusting to what life has thrown at them.

J.S. Scott always delivers billionaires with heart, with personality, and with caring. She doesn't give us glitzy, showy billionaires that are all about the fast life, big money and frivolous spending. She gives us billionaires that want to have purpose, drive and satisfaction.

Layla and Owen were best friends in high school, before Owen became the man that he is now, and they were torn apart. Now, they're forced together again, and they're trying to readjust to being in each other's orbit. Layla wants none of it at first, but the more time they spend together, the more they rediscover each other, the more they are drawn back together. They renewed their friendship first, and that was such a necessary foundation for a lasting love.

Owen is so much more than the typical hot doctor. He's goofy, nerdy, protective, sweet and empathetic and compassionate. Layla is so strong, and she's been through a lot that could have broken her, but she didn't let it ruin her heart and soul.

A really satisfying read, and I'm sad to see the Accidental Billionaire's Series come to a close.

Wow, J.S. Scott never ceases to amaze me with her talent to tell a story and make you feel all the emotions. Layla and Owen are the main characters of this story, both of whom we’ve met in other Accidental Billionaire books. Owen is a newly graduated physician, returning to his hometown to run the physician practice in town. As part of this practice, he inherits the one staff member, Layla, who has made her displeasure with Owen being home known. Owen and Layla have a history, and right before Owen left for college, Layla felt she was betrayed, unbeknownst to Owen. What happens next between Layla and Owen is full of angst, heartache, compassion, and love. J.S. Scott has an incredible ability to allow the reader to feel the emotions that are being felt as if you’re part of the story yourself. Love this series, and love the author!!

I have loved all of the Sinclair family from the East coast to the West but there was something about Owen made him my absolute favorite of all the Sinclair family.

Owen was so devoted to becoming a doctor that when he finished school he realized that he had missed out on being a normal teenager, young adult and most heartbreaking he had missed out on being there for biggest moments of his siblings’ lives but he was back in Citrus Beach and determined to make up for all the things he missed out on and the very top of that list was winning the heart of his best friend from high school, Layla.

Layla was feisty at times but it was her incredibly kind heart that shined the most in her character. She didn’t have an easy life but you would never be able to tell because she was all things kind, caring and loving to all living beings.

Layla and Owen’s chemistry was evident in the prologue and became more intense with every page thereafter. They started as a bit of enemies to lovers then as they settled parts of their past it became a slow burn, swoon worthy friends to lovers as they rekindled their friendship and opened up to each other in ways they never had before and the chemistry became explosive.

I adored Layla and Owen this was the perfect mix of witty banter, feels, steam and loving siblings that you know will always and without question (well, at least, not many questions) have your back or throw a punch when you can’t.

I can’t wait to see what J.S. Scott brings us next I love getting all her new characters in all new settings and never knowing when a character from a previous book will pay a visit.

I voluntarily received a copy of this book with thanks to NetGalley and Montlake, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Owen and Layla were childhood friends with a secret crush on each other; until a misunderstanding tore their friendship apart. He never knew why she stopped being his friend, and she thought he had betrayed her. Now they’re working together it’s only a matter of time before Layla finally finds out the truth. Renewing their friendship is easy, admitting their intense attraction for each other is harder. With Owen determined to get his girl, he will have to prove to Layla that she can trust him not only with her secrets, but also her heart.
What’s not to love about Owen – he’s smart, kind, caring and very loyal. Not only has he got his family for support, their advice on love is very funny. This story packs quite a punch. It’s about forgiveness, second chances, courage and trust. Not only is it a passionate, heart warming story, at times it does tug at your heart strings.

I really enjoyed reading about Layla and Owen. Friends long ago that turned to enemies and Owen can’t wrap his head around why this has happened. They were great friends in school, shared everything together until they didn’t. Now that Owen is back and practicing in Citrus Beach and working side by side with Layla, can he convince her to see beyond her anger towards him and see the real him? With love and relationships there are always obstacles to overcome and Owen will have to work extremely hard to get Layla to move forward with their new friendship and not give Jaxson the time of day. Amazing read, this author is one of my favorites and a definite go to when I need something to read. I received a copy of this book.
