Silver Spoon Single Serve #1

Dating the Billionaire

Rate this book
A curvy goddess, a bet, and a blind date were not on this billionaire's agenda. But a meddling assistant, a gossip blog, and an anonymous "Fairy Godmother" have other plans for this grump.

Sterling
Never bet against my assistant.
You'll lose every time.
I know because I bet . . . and I lost.
Now, I'm on my way to a blind date I do not want to be on.
Until I see Ginni.
She's the sweetest little treat I've ever seen.
I always said I'd never fall, but after one night with her, I know I'll do whatever it takes to keep her forever.
She's my future now.
I just need to convince her to see things my way…

Ginni
When I said I wanted to write an exposé on the billionaires in Silver Spoon Falls, a blind date wasn't precisely what I had in mind, but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
I was not prepared for Sterling Midnight, however.
The man wrote the book on tall, dark, and handsome.
And charming?
Oh, boy. There's just one tiny problem . . . this date wasn't supposed to end with me in his bed and my heart in his hands.
How am I supposed to resist him now?

* * * * *
In a small town where matches are made every day and love lasts forever, you'd think dating would be easy. But with everyone in town eager to find their own happily-ever-afters, these eligible bachelors are drowning in the deep end of the dating pool.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Luckily, they've got Cupid on speed dial. And this mystery matchmaker has a penchant for serving up the kind of love connections these over-the-top men won't be able to resist. But taming their curvy women and keeping the Silver Spoon Falls gossip column out of their business will take a whole lot of ingenuity in this laugh-out-loud steamy rom-com series from Loni Nichole.

*Booty shake! Happy dance!* You know what that means....DUAL VIRGINS!!
Safe
No cheating
No OM/OW
No separation
No gross condom use
No stupid third act break up/ No pushing away (I am starting to add that to my list)
No angst
Insta love
HEA

Hero, Sterling, 38, billionaire, has two brothers (each will get their story), does haunted house themed events, last date was in college, no experience.
Heroine, 24, journalist, sweet, funny, no experience, never dated.
Points for not having the experienced hero and virgin heroine (or the other way around but usually it is always the virgin heroine and the experienced hero), so I get so excited, fist bumping the air, when authors embrace dual virgins, and kick to the curb the dreaded double standard! Ok, onto the story of this sweet couple.

So this is a simple, sweet, mellow story of two souls falling in love. Sterling is a billionaire, who is busy juggling his job and his crazy brothers. He loses a bet with his assistant Adam, and has to go on a blind date to a painting and wine drinking place. (Sounds like a cool place!). He hasn't gone on a date since college, so he doesn't know what to do, until he sees a goddess come in and completely bewitch him. She turns him into an OTT, lust filled, alpha on the prowl, ready to pounce on her at any moment. It is so hot how he wants her and she is soaking all that in! (You are so lucky girl!)
Ginni, is a journalist who went on the date to coax a story from one of the many billionaires in this town, to see what it is about Silver Spoon that brings successful business men billionaires. She sees him and all her plans go out the window. She just enjoys the date and falls in love as fast as he does. They have such a sweet time together, and I feel that spark, that click that they just fit. Their conversation feels natural and comfortable, not to mention hilarious and I just enjoyed seeing them together. They go up to his penthouse and they spend their first of many nights together. Enter my all time favorite trope,
Quote (they tell each other they are virgins),
"I need to tell you something.” She digs her nails against my scalp and lifts
my head so I’m staring into her concerned eyes.
My heart drops as my cock rebels at the thought of her stopping this. “Is
this where you tell me to slow things down?” It will kill me, but I’ll do
whatever it takes to make her happy.
“No. This is where I tell you I’ve never done this before.” I’m not shocked.
My little Fate is a heady combination of steam straight ahead and shy
wonder.
“Me neither,” I admit my embarrassing secret.
Ginni leans back and stares at me through narrowed eyes. “What?”
“I’ve been too goddamn busy running Midnight Industries and keeping my
two younger brothers out of trouble to look for love.” It’s the goddamn
truth.
“Oh…” she drags my face up to hers and leans up to place a kiss on my
chin, “you’re pretty good at it for someone who hasn’t done it before.”
“I could say the same about you.”

*swoon* I squealed when I read this! It made me so happy they are not only each others first and only, but they know they are each others first and only! Their night is passionate and hot, and it is so because I believe it was love at first sight for them. Even though they just met, I believe in their love for each other, coupled with the fact that no other has known either of them intimately, it made their love scene incredibly erotic and heartfelt! She then feels guilty for being swept away and not telling him that she went on the date to coax him into revealing things for her article. To be fair, she dropped the idea the minute her eyes landed on his, and she wanted to tell him when she knew they were going to be intimate, but he didn't want any walls between them, so he distracted her. Of course, she feels so guilty and wants to tell him. When she does, he is relieved and she is as well. He isn't angry with her at all, after all she is his fate, his future wife, the mother of all ten of his future children....I love when our hero already sees his woman as his wife and sees their kids in his future, it is to me incredibly hot!
Quote,
"Our tongues duel
as I start naming our future children, all ten of them."

See what I mean? So swoon worthy! They have more sexy times and a HEA epilogue that left me with a smile and put me in a good mood. This really is a feel good romance, and I really needed it to escape the angst of real life. I think that is why I gravitate towards no angst, safe, sweet love stories.
We get a lot of banter between him and his brothers and this 6 book series is very promising! I am in love and I cannot wait for more! His two brothers will each get their story, and their will be more throughout this year. This was a sweet, no angst, very pleasant read and I recommend it. It goes without saying this will be in my reread list.
Of course I am hoping all the heroes and heroines in the future books are each others one and only, and I am putting that out there in the universe with my fingers and toes crossed! Hey, maybe my wish will come true. I may not have a bottle of magic silver spoon water, but there is magic in one and only true love!
Happy reading!

Sterling is a workaholic like his brothers and when a bet is made he has to go on a blind date set up by his brother and he loses which he mets Ginni who's only on the date because she's writing about billionaires nothing bad about them just about them. And these two hit it off. It's 0 to 100 asap! Which I love :) they both save themselves for one another so double Virgins.

There is tiny tiny drama. Ginni is scared that sterling won't want her when he finds out it was a story that bought her to him. It's no drama at all.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, slight secondary character, sexy times, virgins

If readers want something short and fast-paced, they should give this a try.

For the most part of this novella, it was a two-day love affair. 😂 Insta-love and all, and before readers knew it, Sterling (38) and Ginni (24) were on their way to forever.

This is a book that shouldn't be taken seriously. It was fun, light, and ridiculous, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I look forward to the books of the remaining two brothers. 🤭

This is the start of a new series in the Silver Spoon Falls universe and it's awesome like the rest of them all❤️❤️ Sterling Midnight lives in Midnight Falls but lives partially in Silver Spoon Falls. He lost a bet and now has to endure a blind date. Well everything changes when he meets his date Ginni. Ginni is a journalist and she wants to ride a story about the billionaires of Silver Spoon Falls, so what better than to get into a blind date with one. Ginni and Sterling meet and they instantly know their each other's One. Instalove, age gap, sweet, fun to read , romantic , steamy and totally safe (I loved that they were both virgins😏) with an awesome HEA 😍😍😍😍😍 Can't wait for the next brother to fall head over heels for his woman😉

Midnight Falls, Texas only has a population of 743 people. It is called the Halloween town and is near Silver Spoon Falls. The Midnight family owns the retreat there. Their company, Midnight Industries, owns the largest chain of haunted houses, ghost tours and costume companies in the United States.

Sterling Midnight is 38 and hasn’t had a date since college because he has been focused on the business. Sullivan is his 28 year old brother who is a designer for the many rides and attractions. Their other brother Sinclair is the sheriff in Midnight Falls. Adam is Sterling’s assistant. Sterling and Adam made a wager on the Knicks game. If the Knicks lose, Sterling agreed to let Adam set him up on a blind date. They are watching the game at the Midnight Brew and the Knicks lose. Since Sterling lives in a penthouse in Silver Spoon Falls, Adam contacted the new matchmaker there to set Sterling up.

Ginerva Valentine, Ginni, is a freelance journalist. She is 28 and grew up in foster care with no roots. She is a virgin because she doesn’t want to date. She came to Silver Spoon Falls recently hoping to write a specific article. She tells her boss and colleagues that she is working on an article about the billionaires in Silver Spoon Falls. Ginni wants to know why billionaires move there and how their businesses still are so successful there. Her coworker and friend Leia says that is just how it is in Silver Spoon Falls.

Later, Ginni gets an unknown text from a woman who dubs herself Ginni’s Fairy Godmother. The woman gives Ginni an address and tells her to be there at 8 pm for her date. Pallettes and Vino is having their First Date Paint & Sip party that night and that is where Sterling and Ginni meet. Sterling is stunned by Ginni’s red hair and beautiful green eyes. During the date, Ginni tells Sterling that she is a journalist but doesn’t tell him about the article she wants to write.

They have an amazing night. Leia and Elyse joke about Ginni dating Mr. Halloween. Then, they realize that Ginni is upset for not telling Sterling the whole truth.

I was glad that Sterling and Ginni hit it off and talked everything out. I can’t wait to read more of this series.

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.

3.5/5 stars

Ginni is a new reporter for Silver Spoon Falls, she wants to do a story on the billionaires in the town, why are there so many, how did they make their money…that kind of stuff. When she gets a mysterious text setting her up on a date with a billionaire she goes on the date. What she didn’t expect was to find her date was with billionaire Sterling Midnight, his family owns the Halloween resort in Midnight Falls. Sterling divides his time between the two towns.
He’s on the date cause he lost a bet with his admin, Adam. But he’s real glad he took the bet because he has found his one, Ginni. He calls her Fate.
They hit it off immediately and their date ends at his penthouse. Where things get hot and heavy as soon as they arrive, dual virgins! The next morning Ginni is trying to sneak out when Sterling catches her, leading to more sexy times.
She feels guilty for not telling him she accepted the date with him to get a story. She worries he will hate her. Her coworkers tell her with the way he was looking at her when he dropped her off there was no way he would ever hate her.
She confess to Sterling about accepting the date to “interview” him and he doesn’t care. He takes her to his family home to meet his brothers. Who of course like her. They both say their I love yous.
The next day at a bar while watching basketball he proposes, she says yes. Epilogue years later with kids and her helping at Midnight Industries. It end with her asking for a baby girl and her later delivering a baby girl.

A clever addition to the Silver Spoon Falls universe.

This book is the first installment of Single Serve, part of the Silver Spoon Falls universe. Perhaps soft serve ice cream will make an appearance in a future book, but instead we have a smidge of intrigue in the form an anonymous, match-making, fairy godmother. Sterling (yet another SSF billionaire) and Ginni are the targets and Cupid’s arrow hits its mark.

I adore it when the MMC falls first. Granted, Ginni was on the same page but she’s holding onto a secret that she believes will be a deal breaker for Sterling. Pshaw! Sterling is obsessed, possessed, and impressed with the goddess that is his Ginni.

Their story is hot, swoony, and sweet. The reader is left wanting to learn more about the mysterious Fairy Godmother, not to mention hoping that Sterling’s yummy brothers also get a Single Serve happy ending.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and I purchased a copy. 🔥⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️🔥⭐️ from me.

The Silver Spoon universe is expanding, and the Midnight boys mean business! I love how the universe is all connected and this book was no different. We saw a few different Silver Spoon characters pop back into this story, with lots of others, and a whole new town, introduced. This was a short, sweet, insta love story with almost no drama/angst and all the lovey dovey feels. Silver Spoon falls lore strikes again and Sterling falls fast and hard for Ginni. Their story was fast paced, funny and steamy. Dual virgins, no cheating or OM/OW drama, possessive in all the best ways MMC, an independent FMC, HEA and an adorable epilogue 5 years in the future. Can’t wait to read Sullivan and Sinclair’s stories!

Sterling embraces his Fate!

Loose the bet....
Go on the blind date....
Fall in love....
Sterling is done!
And he is left trying to work out just how quickly he can convince Ginni to marry him... Is an hour after meeting considered too quick? Sterling is proof that even billionaires can fall hard and fast, I love that he is completely useless and cannot concentrate on work or Halloween or anything else until he has her locked down and tied to him for life. It's sweet, funny, fast, sexy and deliciously naughty, a tasty single serve that leaves you eager for more I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Sterling & his Fate

This was a great intro to a new series from one of my favorite duos. Sterling loses a bet and gets set up on a blind date with Ginni. Ginni only agrees to said date because she wants to write an article on the Silver Spoon Billionaires.

However, fate had different plans for both of them. I loved the painting scene and how sassy Ginni was. We get introduced to the Midnight brothers and I can’t wait to see more of them.

There was plenty of heart and heat, just the way I like it.

So incredibly sweet! The connection between Sterling and Ginni is so pure and bright from the moment they meet on a blind date. While Ginni initially did the date to get info for a story, that idea goes out the window when she lays eyes on him. After they get together, she is torn up by the fact she didn't share her reason for going on the date. When she tells him, there is no blow up as Sterling understands where she is coming from. This was such a lovely, intensely emotional romance, I loved every minute of it!

4.5* read for Ginni and Sterling

Ginni and Sterling meet at a blind date set up by a matchmaker after he loses a bet. Once their eyes meet, it's like BOOM for both of them.

These two are so cute together and totally taken with each other. She messes up when she doesn't reveal why she accepted the date. Now she's super worried that he'll not want to see her again once she confuses why she agreed to go on their date.

How will Sterling react to her confession? I also loved what he and his brother were working on throughout the story!

I truly enjoyed this read 📚!

All the laughs and feels. Sterling loses a bet and has to go on a blind date, doing a paint and sip - he’s not really thrilled about it but when Ginni walks in as his date he instantly changes her mind. Ginni is trying to write a story and gets a lead that has her ending up on a blind date with Sterling. Neither of them expect the instant connection they feel. Only Ginni doesn’t tell Sterling why she’s really meeting with him, so when she decides she’s going to she’s hoping for a good outcome.

I received this as an arc from the author and I’m voluntarily leaving my honest review.

This was a fantastic instalove romance. It was a great new expansion of the Silver Spoon world and an introduction to Midnight Falls and that is a town I’m already excited to learn more about. This was Sterling and Ginni’s story and it had both humor and steam. It also had a little mystery and I’m definitely curious to find out who the fairy godmother is.

This is book 1 of the series and it started with a bang!!
Sterling makes the mistake of making a bet with his assistant, Adam...which Sterling loses and Adam gets to set him up on a blind date. Sterling never thought he would meet his forever at a painting event..but that's exactly what he does..Can he convince Ginni to take a leap of faith and trust him? How will he act when he finds out that she has a secret about their first date?

Love!

Silver Springs water claims another victim!! I love this book! Sterling, billionaire, workaholic, loses a bet, but did he really lose? When Ginni is offered a chance to meet a billionaire for her new article by her “fairy godmother” she cannot refuse. But when she catches feelings, can she risk everything to tell Sterling the truth?? Loved this book!!!

nice

This was a nice low drama, high heat read. I did enjoy that there was very little angst with this book. That being said I would have liked just a little more action but it is nice to read a drama free romance sometimes too. You can never fail with the Silver Spoon guys either.

Ginni and Sterling

Ginni is a new resident in Silver Spoon, and as a reporter, she is curious as to why so many millionaires end up living in such a small town. When she gets pushed into a Blind date, she wants none of that, but when she finds out it is with one of the many millionaires, she finds her chance for an expose.
Ok read.

So much fun

I loved this story. It was so much fun. This is the second book I’ve read from this series. They are incredibly entertaining. I loved the alpha possessive man yet he was so sweet and caring for his woman. It’s an instant love connection. I had no clue that both characters were saving themselves. Love it. On to the next book in this series.

Sterling and Ginni, yes it’s an Insta everything story, with the amusing brother and over the top assistant. A sexy tale that I thought lacked something…. Maybe I like more angst.

This was a very cute insta love, and such a fast read in one of our favorite small towns that is infamous for romance. Sterling and Ginni were a great couple, and I hope we see more of them in Sterling’s brothers books because I did not get enough of them. If you love a fast romance with a hint of smut this might be the one for you. Just lots of focus on these two finding each other and boom they’re gone for one another.

Dating the Billionaire

I'd say I want a Fairy Godmother too. She sure knows how to pick them couples. Sterling hated that he lost the bet to Adam but he sure turned out the winner when he saw his blind date. Love at first sight is what it is or love at first Ginni.

This is a super sweet love at first sight story. The characters are perfect. I had a smile on my face practically the whole time. Sterling and Ginni are the sweetest couple who met at a Palette and Vino date night. The rest is happy ever after history.

So HOT!

Another great read from the Queen herself, miss Nichole! These Single Serve books are absolutely fabulous and so damn funny. They each have their own story line so it's unique and new. Not the rehash like so many others are. Great writing.
