Simone: Adventures in Dating
SIMONE: ADVENTURES IN DATING (Book 1: The Billionaire) is a prequel to the hilarious bestselling series, CARPE DiEMILY.
All my life, I've been a man-magnet. Everywhere I go, guys drop at my feet. After all, I have a perfect body, insatiable sex drive, and a razor wit. I'm also modest (can't you tell?). Trouble is, I've never been lucky in love. I only attract guys who forget their wallets and show up to dates wearing #@%#-stained clothes. With my best friend's wedding around the corner, I finally decide enough is enough. I'm not only going to find the perfect date to her wedding, but I'm going to find Mr. Right: a gorgeous man with a great sense of humor, a chiseled bod, talent in bed, and a big...(ahem) wallet. Is that too much to ask? If all goes right, my quest will lead me into the arms of my perfect match...or will it?
Simone meets a mysterious and charming billionaire who sweeps her off her feet. He might just be her perfect date...and more. But does he have a secret side?

Holy Guacamole!! I was really in for a treat with Simone's dating adventures and sexcapade. I've been a fan of Riley J. Ford, ever since I've read Carpe DiEmily which was really hilarious. Then I also got Into You where I "enjoyed every kissing moment of it." And now for this Dating the Billionaire series, oh well, I had to fan myself a few times! I was pleasantly surprised with myself, because I actually loved what I read. Now I have to continue reading to be sure I'm not mistaken with my presumption about The Billionaire. Let's see: For starters, he looked like Paul Walker (RIP) who happens to be on eof my Hollywood hottie crushes, so I've been imagining him in my head while I pretend to be the banker Simone. Hmm. This is really an intriguing book! A must-read! Can't wait to read the second book!

Vapid and vain Simone cracks me up. Always finding herself in some of the strangest dating situations (some I can relate to which makes it funnier still), along with her big mouth and trying to keep her slutty side under control but still wanting to enjoy sex frequently and she's just such a brat. Light and easy reading with some ewww moments, plenty of 'she did not just do/say that' and just a fun time. Looking forward to how she'll screw this up and be on to her next bed buddy!

I thought this story was good and I loved Simone's fiery personality, the only thing I did not like it went a little too fast.

I loved reading this book. I have to say that I didn't love Simone as much as I loved Manny! He is HILARIOUS and someone I would LOVE to hang out with.

Good
This book was a good read & well written. Simone is trying to figure out what she wants.The story is really good, but kind of a cliffhanger.

This book is a little crass, it moves very quickly and some of Simone's descriptions of things are a little too graphic, like her friend throwing up in the beer and another friend drinking it. The book is also only a very much a first instalment and ends very abruptly.

So Hooked!!!!!
I love Simone!! She is independent, sexy and does not take mess off anyone. She works as a teller at a bank. She runs the show! She really has a mouth on her that tends to get her in trouble.
I fell in love with her co- workers. I mean who has co- workers that will come to your aid in closing all the lines in the bank for a moment, just so the Hot Sexy Suitman in line is forced to go to her window.
Then, there is the Hot Sexy Suitman, Pierce. He is intense and sets Simone on fire. She flirts with him and he seems to be really into her. Then, he does a 360 and demands to speak to the manager about Simone's behavior.
Has Simone crossed the line with Suitman? You just have to read this book to find out what happens to Simone.

3.5* for amusing romance
Not bad! Some of the humor was spot on in this, but at the same time, for a piece so short, there were sections that felt way too long.
Had one steamy sex scene. Not sure I will check out others in this set because Simone comes across as a flake in the other descriptions. She's also... Quirky. Not necessarily a bad thing, but off putting at times.
Didn't like the cliffhanger style ending, especially when put side by side with the description of the next book. Not to my taste in terms of types of romance I like to read.
Found this book playing one-click roulette.

eh
I was disappointed by this book- like where is the rest? This trend of smaller books to make money is bad for readers. also the story was lacking sustenance. They meet, she has a funny friend, they fuck & she gets a car a burkin bag and gift card to. Plastic surgeon? Sigh- so much is wrong with that.
But I digress
It got three stars because there is potential hope the others are better.

The billionaire
New author for me- i looove to read
I found the reading fast paced- entwined- no spaces that left me wondering or saying okay this is slow.
The story lines were witty & some down right funny
Left me wanting to read more & I look forward to reading the next book and more from this author

Cute romance featuring Simone a bank teller that is in a dating rut seeing a hot guy in the line at the bank she's working in, he ends up being a billionaire. He says he will meet her for drinks after work. He is a hot guy that likes to play games. The sex was hot, story cute.

Missing pages
Nothing like trying to read from page 55 and then it skips to page 75. Good thing it was free...would skip this download.
