I Married a Billionaire (Top 100 Kindle Store Bestseller!)
Maddy Wainright has given up on marriage - and men. But when her insanely rich (and sexy) boss Daniel Thorne proposes an arrangement of convenience that would allow him to stay in the country, and Maddy to never work another day in her life, she might get more than she bargained for. By the end of their sham relationship, Maddy finds herself wondering if two million dollars will be enough to repair the cost of a broken heart. But Mr. Thorne may have a secret in store...
I Married a Lost and Found
When Maddy Thorne agreed to marry her billionaire boss in order to keep him in the country, she never would have guessed they'd actually stay together. But over a year later, she's still happily married to the slightly eccentric, maddeningly attractive Daniel. As he begins to come out of his shell and turn into the figurehead that his growing technology company needs, Maddy finds herself dealing with a whole new set of problems. And despite his newfound openness, he's still keeping secrets. Even from her. But despite her misgivings and the ever-present prattle of journalists, really, Maddy can't complain.
Then, a frantic late-night phone call changes everything.
Daniel has been accused of illegal insider trading. His assets frozen, he suddenly finds himself at the center of a media circus and a trial under a merciless judge with no way out. Maddy wants to support him, but it seems all Daniel wants to do is crawl back into his shell. In the midst of the chaos, Maddy receives an offer to display her drawings at one of the most influential galleries in the city. Pulled in two directions even as her life crashes down around her, will Maddy allow Daniel to keep pushing her away, or will she find a way to pull him back?
I Married a The Prodigal Son
Writing billionaire tech mogul Daniel Thorne's official biography is no small task. His wife Maddy isn't quite sure how it fell on her shoulders - but she's not exactly complaining. It's given her a rare opportunity to learn about the details of Daniel's life that he's never shared with her before. After a rocky beginning, their relationship has finally settled into something comforting and secure. After a while, Maddy begins to reconsider her once-staunch decision not to have children.
Then, one night, a ghost from Daniel's past appears.
His father, believed to be dead, has come back in hopes of repairing their relationship. Daniel is devastated by the years-long deception, and suspicious of his father's motives in reappearing after so much time. Old Mr. Thorne has his reasons for disappearing, but how can he possibly repair a relationship that's been so badly fractured by distance and lies? Meanwhile, Maddy gets some unexpected news of her own, and she realizes she must find a way to reach her husband and his father, to knit them all together

Loved the first book. how Daniel and Maddie met and came to be 'married'.
Second book... just seemed to go on and left in unanswered questions
Third book.. improved a little and enjoyed all about baby. wish there was more on that. interesting about Walter.
All in all not a bad read BUT still think book one the best. such chemistry which seemed to die off in book 2 and 3. which is why only 4 stars.

These books kept me interested from beginning to end.
These characters were both strong and had the personality to get the reader pulled into the story.
You get a complete story with no plot holes.
I would recommend these books.

Intro
This book is about Maddy and Daniel. Maddy works at Daniel's company. She has given up on men and marriage after too many losers just don't appreciate who she is. Then Daniel Thorne makes a offer she can't refuse. A marriage of convenience, it would allow Maddy to live a life of luxury for a year and Mr Thorne gets to stay in the country that has become his home. She will walk away at the end of the year with 2 million dollors. All she has to do is move in with him, put on a convincing show in public, and go through a few INS interviews. As time goes on will 2 million dollars be enough to repair her broken heart. But Mr Throne may have a secret hidden.....!!??
Who is your favourite character and why?: I can't decide between Maddy and Daniel.
They are both nice characters in different ways. Maddy stands up for herself and doesn't put up with any crap from anyone, not even Daniel.
Daniel makes everyone think he is a strong character on the outside but he is kind of broken and has problems himself.
Did the characters feel real to you?: yes, the characters felt very real to me. I felt their emotions as if I was their with them. I felt very involved in the story and I would just get carried away and forget the time or something I was meant to be doing.
Did the story keep you guessing?: Yes and no. Some parts I think I could predict what was going to happen. For example, when they both realised they had feelings for each other. Obviously this was going to happen because of the story.
Other parts of the story I would not have guessed would of happened. For example, when Maddy and Daniel found out somebody wanted to contact Daniel from his past. I wouldn't of thought it would of been his father, who he thought had died a few years ago! That's what I love about books!
What was my favourite part of the book and why?: My favourite part was when they both wanted to make the marriage work properly and be a real couple. Another favourite part was when Maddy found out she was pregnant, and how well they adapted to the news as a couple.
Where any of the scenes written well?: I thought the sad and love scenes were written quite well, as you got the emotion from them that is needed with a story.
Did the book make me laugh or cry?: Yes, it did make me laugh with certain scenes. For example, when Maddy agrees to the to the marriage of convenience, Daniel asks her what they first noticed they had in common and Maddy replies with Woody Allen movies. Daniel is shocked and thinks this is funny, but the story sticks for the INS interview. No, this book didn't make me cry, I'm not sure there were any particular scenes that were made for crying.
Did the story grip you and keep you turning the pages? Yes it did. I wanted to know the next part of the story. What was going to happen? Who was behind the mysterious stuff happening.
Summary:
I enjoyed this book a lot. It reminded me a bit of Fifty shades of Grey in some parts, but only the storyline, not the characters. The characters felt completely different from this story. It was a gripping read and had unexpected twists and turns. I would recommend this book to readers over 18 because of the content, but also to people that love a good romance novel with some excitement.
Rating: I give this book a 4 star out of 5 star rating.
I hope you enjoy reading my review.

Daniel needs a wife so he can stay living in the country. So he proposes an arrangement to Maddie that she marry him and he will pay her for the sham. It soon becomes more than just a sham but they don't realize it until his sister points it out for them. Now they are making things work but his past is coming back to haunt him. The second book Daniel gets accused of insider trading and his life becomes a free for all in the press. Only to find out that this was the result of a crazy ex girlfriend. The third book his father returns from the dead. Now the hard part is if Daniel can forgive him. I loved this series because you really got to know Daniel and how he came to be the person that he is. Maddie is a strong woman who supports at him at every turn even if she has her own issues to deal with.

Loved this book its well written and thought out.
The shame for me is it feels in finished. I would of like to see them through to finish up some lose ends. The baby, the family's, the aunty and grandparents dynamics and to see some spark come back to them a little maybe a gallery for Maddie to work on or a tech app for art sharing and selling .... So much left to work with it feels a bit bitter its not all ties up.
Her writing is great and the people are not overly damaged so its more realistic and understandable. They are not a volatile couple which too is nice you never doubt there love and calm togetherness. Its not over played or stressed by outside worries.
More please is my only reason for marking down as I feel deflated after reading it and not complete in the story.

Editing mistakes everywhere but well developed characters
Ok the storyline was good and flowed nicely through the three books..not overly bogged down with romantic interludes that took attention away from the lack of real storyline like many other books have done. The author gave her characters depth. beyond the physical attraction there was an emotional attachment to not only the main characters but even the immediate peripheral ones as well. Author made you root for everyone. A good read however the editing mistakes where numerous and interrupted the flow of the book. Obvious mistakes throughout with spelling, repeating words, leaving words out etc lost a star for that....

Fixed for life
This is one of the best series I've read in a long time. Daddy didn't know what was happening to her, things were changing and she wasn't sure if she knew exactly what was going on. She is offered a deal to marry her boss to keep keep him in the country for two million dollars in return. She has seen him of course, but she didn't know him. She falls in love I'm immediately and is miserable. and the story goes on..it ends Mr Thorne is shy standoffish and not easy to get to know. So she's playing a waiting game

Daniel and Maddy are from two different worlds. She has her set of problems and so does Daniel. First he needs to get married to get a green card and that's how he meets Maddy. Then the next book is about their marriage and trying to be good together but legal problems happen and Daniel almost pushes Maddy away and then the next book is about his dad coming back into his life. It was a good read but felt like things were missing.

I really loved these books! Marchande truly focuses on the story in regard to the relationship between the main characters. Their conversations and dialogue feel very real, and I always appreciate realistic situations in a novel. All 3 books were very enjoyable reads and I am sad that the story of Daniel and Maddy is finished. I can definitely see myself re-reading these books in the future though. Highly recommend to fans of Contemporary Romance!

Maddie married Daniel just to secure him his PR. Eventually they became friends and lovers. Daniel is a quite guy and his life gets chaotic when he is accused of inside dealing. Obviously he was framed by a jealous college friend teamed with an ex girl friend. His name is cleared eventually and his estranged Dad comes back in his life . Madly is pregnant and Daniel is very happy.
May 21, 2014
This was really good. I loved the honesty in it and the fact that they both wanted something from each other and weren't afraid to let it be known. The thought of them playing along and actually catching feelings was way more real then most of the billionaire stories out there. I'd love to read to see what happens next.
November 23, 2014
I loved this series. Maddy has to fight hard to keep her marriage to Daniel from falling apart. Daniel doesn't talk to Maddy and it drives her crazy. Daniel fears that Maddy doesn't really love him.
Maddy takes things in her own hands to save Daniel and their marriage. Maddy is an amazing woman.

"I Married a Billionaire: The Complete Box Set Trilogy," by Melanie Marchande is sexy and unusual. The main characters aren't your typical romance novel couple. I never got a clear idea of what they looked like or the impression either of them were very likable. Their relationship's progression is a bit backward but that just makes the their story more interesting.

I love this box set. I read each book as it came out and then when the box set came out i simply had to have the set and of course read it as well. I can just imagine sitting at your desk knowing your boss in the next room is writing things about you,,,,, this set is great, HOT as all get out. I hope we get a book 4 and maybe 5 and even 6. We need more Maddy and Daniel in our lives.

I enjoyed this series. The first books started out extremely strong and I didn't want it to end. The second and third books were good, but not quite as good. The characters were well written and made to be real people with flaws and emotions. Some grammar and consistency errors were evident in the book, but if you overlook those, it is a good read.
May 5, 2014
Enjoyed this book very much.
I have to rate it as 4 stars because of the unanswered questions it left me with.
The book didn't feel quite finished to me, there was to much skipping going on.
Loved the original concept I just felt the author rushed the endings off all three books!!

Enjoyable
This story of Daniel and Maddy, was okay. I found the first book more enjoyable than this one. There were quite a few grammatical errors and at times that can throw you a little off.

Loved them
Loved this box set. All three books kept me entertained and squealing. They were just as heartfelt, witty, and steamy as her other books. Really loving this author! Can't wait to read more from Melanie Marchande.

Enjoyed it!
I believe I may read it again, although it did take forever it seems, it could have came together a lot more, and needed a grammar check!
