by Jessie Ted

He’s a billionaire bad boy with a wicked reputation.

I’m the broke corporate fixer that could save him—or ruin him.

Three months.

That was the pretend to be Nick Harwood’s doting wife, safeguard his billion-dollar inheritance, and walk away with my father’s debts—and my scandalous past—erased.

No feelings allowed.

No touching.

No falling in love.

But he and I aren’t used to following rules.

When I signed my deal with the devil, I never expected him to be temptation in a tailored suit. Dark eyes, slow hands. Late night texts that set me on fire.

Now, I’m sleeping down the hall from his bedroom, tangled in silk sheets and secrets. Losing myself in a lie that’s starting to feel like the truth.

Because if I don’t make it through my marriage to Nick Harwood, I’ll lose everything.

And the deeper I fall, the harder it is to remember why I ever wanted out.

This dual-POV story is a great read. Both sides of the story are fascinating and I just wanted to keep reading! Our FMC is a PR executive who is taking on a client that needs to reform is tabloid reputation of a reckless bad boy. She comes up with a plan --- and then he proposes one of his own.

They both have a desperate need for this deal to work out, but unlike other stories, this one is iron-clad in legal paperwork and it's not a secret to their friends or family. It's purely for the public spectacle and generating good press.

Until they both catch feelings. And then it gets complicated, because lawyers and contracts.

The longing and slow burn of this romance is soooo freaking good. It's a top billionaire story for me.

This review is based on my personal preferences and the rating reflects how much I enjoyed reading this book.

The pacing felt a bit off. There was not much romance between the characters except the text messages they barely interacted through the story. Sure had some heated moments between eachother, but nothing really spicy until the end for one scene. The secondary characters were there to move it along but never really explored. I did not get attached to the characters or story. But it was a quick and easy read.

Bride on the Dotted Line by Jessie Ted is part of the Blackstone Center series. I enjoyed reading Sienna and Nick's story. Nick is the billionaire bad boy in need of an image clean up and protect his billion dollar inheritance. Sienna is broke and in need of money so she agrees to become Nick's wife. The two of them belonged together and you could feel it throughout the book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by Jessie Ted.

Loved the characters both the main ones and the very supportive cast around them . A great story that actually had a real story to tell and not just heat to expand on Although the outcome was as expected there were lots of twists on the way and lots of fun to enjoy Would love more like this.

SOOO cute!! This is a perfect 1 or 2 sitting romance novel to get cozied up with! (You can of course read it slower, but you'll probably not want to stop😂) The author writes beautifully and makes you really fall in love with the characters. Plus the MMC is total 🔥🫠🤤 I loved the little twists, and that it wasn't everything you expected would happen, too! Really cute read!

Cerys agrees to a three-month fake marriage to billionaire bad boy Nick to erase her scandalous past and settle her father’s debts. The rules are simple: no feelings, no touching, no falling in love. But Nick’s dark eyes and late-night texts quickly unravel her resolve. Will they find that what started out fake could end up being so very real?

[Hannah Loo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really enjoyed the writing in this book! It was a nice, quick read. I only wish that the story were fleshed out a little more, so that I could enjoy more of the book!

[Rebecca T. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really delightful read! I’m not typically a straight-up romance reader, but I think any reader will find something they enjoy here. The characters are layered, inherently likeable, and the story really sucked me in - this was a binge read with several ‘oops it’s 1AM and I have work tomorrow’ nights for me!

There’s some surprisingly poignant moments and the writing feels authentic and thoughtful. And of course, the spice is a slow burn with a HEA that will leave you wishing for more!

Great things coming from this author, to be sure!

I was fortunate to receive a digital copy as an ARC, and I am leaving a review to support this independent author - my opinions are totally my own!
