My name is Yanna Everleigh. I used to think playing hard to get would be enough to keep gorgeous, sexy billionaires away - well, at least the kind who didn't do love at least. But I was wrong. If anything, it just made my billionaire get even, leaving us both brokenhearted.
His name is Constantijin Kastein. He blows hot and cold, acting like he doesn't know the meaning of romance but then he sweeps me off my feet with the adorable little things he does. He makes me want to be his, even though he seems to want other women, too. But he's also Netherlands' #1 playboy and I'm the only virgin he hasn't been able to bed. I have to be sure he doesn't just see me as a challenge.
Maybe if I ask him to court me - maybe if I pretend other men are also courting me - pretend that I'm like him and I can want other men, too - maybe he'll finally stop trying to seduce me.
Or not.

What is wrong with you people?
"It was my greatest fear, something I couldn't even share with my friends. I didn't want them to know that I might just be weak enough to still take Constantijin back even if he had slept with another woman...again."
And she's grateful to him for not cheating on her...again. Grateful? Rather then something she should bloody expect from the guy who's courting/dating her. It's her bloody right to expect him to keep it in his pants. Loser.
Seriously, he's a total douche who should be grovelling for a VERY long time to even get her to look at him.
This jerk CHEATED on her just to spite her! Helloo, CHEATER who got away with it because she just accepted his CHEATING!!!!
And why did she accept it? Because he "wanted" her so much. Ohhhh, that's why you have sex with another woman rigghtt (sarcasm). Another stupid heroine who lets the cheater off with no penalties.
Seriously, dump his cheating cheating ass.
He screws someone else and all he says is "oops sorry" and the imbecilic dimwitted h says ok I forgive you. Yeah, I don't bloody think so. HE should've been made to GROVEL at her feet for C H E A T I N G.
And he continues to cheat, and even attempts to cheat on her yet again when they're actually finally living together. That's his "go to" he goes to other women. And every time he betrays her he insists she take him back and he won't do that again but of course he does...once a cheater always a cheater. IF he loves her so much and is so into her why is he constantly running to OTHER women? Who the hell wants a man like that!
The h begs and crawls back to this loser thinking she deserved this just because....wait for it people....just because she took a ride home with another guy from work. Just a ride in a car and NOTHING else, and that wanker gets so enraged that not only does he go out with another woman kissing her & groping her nope he also makes the h grovel to HIM and yet, it's perfectly ok for him to CHEAT with other women and he is NOT expected to even be sorry. Is this story for real! My head is going to explode with some of the stupidity in this book. WTF????

Teenager romance/drama warning.
=_=
Así es, mis queridas, romance adolescente en magnates. Un espanto. La protagonista consigue un puesto en una multinacional hablando de dramas coreanos y manga (donde el gay habla de yaoi, y cosas así) y todo es un cliché de mala calidad. Ella se cae y aparece el protagonista o el otro tipo que viene a ser el tercero en el triángulo amoroso. Va por la vida cayéndose y siendo torpe, pero el CEO de la compañía no tiene otra cosa más interesante que hacer que andar detrás de ella para sujetarla o queriendo sexo a medias en la oficina.
Lo que más me molestó de este libro fue una parte donde Yanna decide que no van a tener exclusividad, entonces por error ve las noticias y se entera que el objeto de su amor, el CEO este inútil, Constantijin pasó la noche con una beldad en un hotel. Al otro día vuelve y le dice: "pero bueno, vos dijiste que ibas a seguir saludándote con otros". El colmo. Lo peor es que Yanna lo acepta y la relación sigue como si nada.

I would like to ask you a couple of questions. A) Why hasn't Yanna googled yet the world schat? I am more than curious to see what means. (BTW I googled it) B) Wasn't Constantijin the one who suggested to keep their relationship a secret for a while? Why is he *itching now then? C) Why Yanna wants more time? I doubt her reasoning.
Despite those questions I liked the book. Constantijin and Yanna are still playing their game but this time both are pushing the other and both are retreating. Mr Fix it is worrying me a little but who knows?

Another great book in the How to Not be Seduced by a Billionaire series!
Constantijin and Yanna are back with their complicated relationship. There are still problems of trust between the couple as they try to make their relationship work.
Yanna and Constantijin take a break because he screwed up royally and drove Yanna away. While she is hosting his mother's birthday party, she learns that he told his mother everything about their relationship and suddenly thrusts back into his arms and captivating eyes.
Constantijin agrees to court Yanna but only with some conditions. Just as things start looking up for them, everything come crashing down again. Men suddenly can't stop talking or looking at Yanna and it's making Constantijin insanely jealous. One man in particular is always trying to gain Yanna's attention.
When Yanna makes the wrong decision for what she hopes was for the better, she drives Constantijin away from her yet again. Now it's her turn to go after him and get him back before it's too late.

La misma mierda con distinto nombre.
Lo siento, sé que estoy siendo desagradable pero es que esta serie en general es DESAGRADABLE. Hay tantas cosas mal en este libro, por ejemplo:
• La protagonista, ya hemos entendido todos que es tonta perdida y que a ella la manejan las hormonas incluso a pesar de que es virgen y pura. Así que ahora también hay que sumarle su falta de compresión y entendimiento cuando le hablan. Porque ella no ha dejado de repetir que quiere encontrar el amor como el que tuvieron sus padres o sus tíos ya no sé ni de quién habla porque la verdad no hago más que rodar los ojos mientras leo y me pierdo la mitad de las cosas. Por lo que, después de pregonar tanto que quiere encontrar el amor con flores corazón y unicornios, no entiendo cómo es capaz de aceptar cuando Constantijin (o como mierda se escriba el nombre del protagonista) le dice que no puede prometerle amor ninguno. ¿¡Hola!? ¿Entonces para que se supone que vale el supuesto cortejo que vas a hacerle a Yanna (así se llama la tonta de la protagonista)? ¿Solo es para conseguir echarle un kiki? 🤷🏼♀️
• Otra cosa que me ha molestado es la falta de trabajo de la autora. Quiero decir, yo, si fuese una escritora y voy a escribir un segundo libro me molestaría primero en releerme el primer libro por si se me olvidan detalles o algo. Pero esta mujer no. Veréis, en el primer libro la madre de Constantijin los encuentra con las manos en las bragas (porque lo de las manos en la masa no era suficientemente específico) así que ahí Yanna y la madre del neandertal que tenemos por protagonista, ya se echaron el primer vistazo aunque Yanna no sabía que era la madre de él. Pero después, casi acabando el primer libro, la madre de él se acerca a ella y le dice quién es, a esta casi le da un soponcio pero tienen una conversación en la que la madre le dice que nunca ha visto a su hijo así y blablabla. El punto, que ahora en el segundo libro, estas dos se vuelven a encontrar pero la autora se ha olvidado de que ya se habían conocido porque directamente hacen presentaciones como si nunca hubieran sabido la una de la otra. Y podéis pensar: están fingiendo para que él no sepa que se conocieron. Pues no, o al menos en el libro no se indica en ningún momento que esta sea la razón detrás de ello.
Y estos solo son un par de puntos de lo que está mal. Además de que este libro no es más que algo igual que la trama del primer libro solo que al revés. Ahora es él quien se enfada y ella quien va a tener que cortejarlo a él. Es cuanto menos absurdo lo patéticos que son como personajes estos dos, pero como siempre aún con lo malo que es el libro, los finales son de intriga y tengo que leer el siguiente. Gracias a Dios que es el último 🤦🏻♀️

Marian has come up with the cutest idea for these stories. How Not To Be Seduced By Billionaires as a whole was entertaining and enjoyable, definitely worth the price. They are shorter stories but Marian makes it work because she gets everything you need within these pages. Courted begins off right after book 1, Chased, with Yanna back from her Vegas trip. This book is about the aftermath of Yanna's demand of Constantijin to enter into a relationship with her. I enjoyed this book because it was a great middle book giving you the growth of their relationship. Caged was the 3rd book ending the series which I didn't enjoy as much as the first two. Although Yanna had some great moments that made me laugh and cheer out loud for her, you get to see a tougher side of her for moments, but as a whole, Yanna crying the entire time left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. This book was the most emotional of the three, which makes sense why she crys so much but it was more depressing than anything. Yanna as a character has the most growth from the books, Constantijin I don't believe necessarily grows as a character but just gives in to what Yanna wants. You get to see how and why Constantijin is who he is along with some family background. I would have liked to see more change from him, but you can't take away a tiger's stripes. All in all I enjoyed the series and would recommend it to my followers and friends. Marian did a great job of adding lust, laughter and that moment where you just smile and sigh when it all comes to an end. Enjoy!

I don’t know how Marian did it, but she drew me into this trilogy without me even knowing it. I truly enjoyed this series. It was funny, sexy, and hot. I purchased the first installment when it was free back in February. I just started reading it April 1 and I was so eager to find out about Yanny and Constantijin that by Tuesday night I purchased ($6.00) and finished both copies that same night. That’s how much I enjoyed reading the story. Now, that’s not my usual M.O. I usually stalk the free copies list for novels but I couldn’t resist this story. I enjoyed Yanny’s humor and she is probably one of the few women I know that has great self-control. I mean, Constantijin put her in some hot situations but she stayed strong. I also fell in love with alpha male Constantijin. I liked that Marian portrayed him as a true playboy and didn’t change him to “boyfriend” material early in the story. You actually get a chance to see him grow into boyfriend material. Marian also included some different twist and turns that I haven’t read in other erotic-romance books. I will admit the last book “Caged” did leave me with a few questions I wish Marian had answered so maybe she may right another story about Yanny and Constantijin. But then again, the book does have some supporting characters that may need to find love.

Ah Constantijin is at it again and his version of courting Yanna was cute, sexy and funny in his playboy alpha male way. it was nice to see the relationship he has with his mother and how it playeed into meeting Yanna. Ah Mr. Fix it is never far behind, Drake is hot and never too far from Yanna to catch her when she falls. She really needs to either lift her dress a little when she walks or just plain fix the damn hem.
It was painful to see the break-up. Seeing the man you love withdraw from you it's worse then the act of the breakup itself. I don't think I would have moved into the apartment next door, I would have crashed at my old place but I know she's not willing to let it all go and hopes that he will come around. But a playboy of his status is a hard one to break and that gold digging co-worker would of course be the one pushing for that opening. I wish she has slapped her ass to next week in that office scene.

In the second book of this series, Yanna and Constantijin's story continues. It is a very short read, just about the same lenght as the first book, but I liked this book better.
In Courted, I started to HATE Constantijin. He was an obnoxious and controling asshole, who really didn't deserve Yanna.
But I also thought that Yanna deserved some of the things he did. She was, most of the time, a cock tease. And seriously, you don't do what she did to a grown man. That's just mean.
Just as in the first book, the sex scenes were HOT!
Now I really want to read Caged. I've got to know if Constantijin will say the "L" word...

Although this was a great book, I still liked the first one better. I thought Constantijin was such a jerk in this one. I hope he redeems himself in the next book because right now he's on my shit list lol.
June 15, 2013
I found this book interesting. I wasn't sure what to expect. But I found that I had to read all of it to find out what happens. This is a story about the lessons of dating a billionaire. Quite cute actually. Good light read.

Part 2 was better than the first book. Yanna Everleigh has denied she wants Constantijin Kastein, in fact she continues to say they aren't together. Which as we know, they end up getting together but not without a few bumps and bruises along the way. Constantijin drove Yanna away and now they have a lot of trust issues. I love how this book goes deeper into Constantijin Kastein background, you get to learn about his mom and the reason he reacts to things. My favorite part of the book was when Yanna stood up for Constantijin mom, without knowing anything about her. My love for her character grew deeper, and I loved his mom. You could see how much it meant to Constantijin what Yanna did. Hell, it pulled on my heart strings. But with any great book you need good drama. Now, I'm not sure if I could've handled living next door to my ex. It's a little too much for me to handle. I won't say any more but I will say this book was amazing.
March 8, 2019
Again, this was a meh book. I liked it, and I didn't like it depending on which part of the novel we are talking about. The one thing that really got to me, annoyance anyway, was that Yanna was so... hot and cold. She would say one thing, do another, and think a third thing. It is very frustrating and I was almost wanting Constantijin to just end it with her because she was being childish and very flighty. I get that she wants the true love life, but she's toying with Constantijin and I don't think that is right at all. Especially considering that Constantijin is trying really hard to change his ways for her, and she's just messing around with him, basically.
But the ending was, again, worth me going into the next novel, so I'm intrigued to see how this all ends. Hopefully it won't be a waste of my time :)

Estoy releyendo esta serie porque recordé esa primera interacción de los protagonistas que fue lo que me enganchó a seguir leyéndola en primer lugar.
Pero entonces el tira y hala de los personajes es desesperante. Me gusta, pero tiene muchos fallos y a una protagonista dando bofetadas y tirando zapatos🙆🏽♀️
3⭐️⭐️⭐️

Demasiadas vueltas da esta historia....... que a lo último termina cansando....
February 11, 2014
I LOVED this series!!! I read it as a set so my review is for all 4 books. The writing style, storyline and humor was amazing, I want another story so bad.
Yanna, Constantijin Kastein's schat, was a great heroine. She was strong and had a backbone but had a big stubborn streak that at times seemed like she was fighting herself. I was glad when she had moments of clarity and gave in as that showed a lot of character too. To say she was super sheltered as a child and young adult, she had a good head on her shoulder. I was sad when she did not realize what Constantijin was up to and put it together but she eventually did.
And my wonderful and crazy sexy Constantijin Kastein, so so swoon worthy - I loved him from the start. I can just imagine him so well and he is the definition of SMEXY 110%. And of course he had to learn to love or rather admit and be OK with loving Yanna, he had to have his way all the time, he had to push Yanna pass her limits, he had to push Yanna away but was not above waiting, proving his love and even getting on his knees to beg for her to see his love for her. And then when I looked up what schat meant, I feel in love with Constantijin even more. He is DEF being added to my list of favorite book boyfriends.
Marge was a great mother and strong woman. I loved her character and wished there was more of her, her wit and her advice.
How not to marry a billionaire - total LOL moments throughout, you just have to read it, it was great!
Marian - can we have more on this couple...??? They are so worth it and so much fun. You have a great writing, loved how Yanna's character changed when she was in a panic - loved that. I can totally imagine Yanna's reaction when Constantijin says he wants kids LOL that would be a fun story hahaha

Marian - can we have more on this couple...??? They are so worth it and so much fun. You have a great writing, loved how Yanna's character changed when she was in a panic - loved that. I can totally imagine Yanna's reaction when Constantijin says he wants kids LOL that would be a fun story hahaha

A continuation of Yanna & Constantijin's story. In this portion Constantijin agrees to court Yanna, but he wants to make sure no one knows about it. Sex scenes were hot, but too much back and forth.
When she tells him he's going to take her virginity he doesn't seem to react, but just goes with it. He didn't know she was a virgin before, but he acts like he knew this the whole time. I think if he did know from the beginning then he would've understood a little bit of where Yanna was coming from. Also if he knew how her parents had a great marriage he would've known this too. This is probably something the author should've touched upon and not just with us, the audience, but worked it into the story somehow to explain why he finally decides to court her.
Too many holes in the story that I would've liked the author to close. Some items just seemed too open-ended and didn't resolve.
