Last Billionaire Standing #1
Just The Way You Aren't
When a grumpy billionaire with a PR problem meets a sunny chaos queen with a heart of gold, who's really the one in need of saving?I’m Damien Langley—billionaire, control freak, and, according to the press, a heartless corporate monster.
After one out-of-context quote torches my reputation and puts an important client account in jeopardy, my board forces me into PR smile for the cameras, volunteer at a feel-good charity, pretend to be human.
Enter Willow Harper.
She runs Silver Hearts, a senior care organization held together by optimism, duct tape, and sheer determination. She’s sunshine in human form, my polar opposite—and somehow makes me want to stay even after the cameras stop rolling.
What starts as damage control spirals into something burger dive dates, emergency kitchen repairs, and a kiss that hits harder than it should.
She doesn’t fit into my world… but suddenly, my world doesn’t work without her.
Too bad I’m also locked in a secret million-dollar bet with five of my billionaire buddies.
Stay single. No falling in love. Winner takes all.
And Willow?
One more night with her in my bed and I’ll lose the bet, the client account, and the heart I swore I didn’t have.
Settle in
✓ Grumpy billionaire CEO meets sunshine nonprofit worker
✓ Forced proximity romantic comedy
✓ Slow burn to SPICY scenes that'll fog your e-reader
✓ A swoony happily-ever-after with all the feels!
Grab Book 1 of the Last Billionaire Standing romcom series and meet the billionaire bachelors who made the ultimate bet on staying single!

Las primeras páginas son importantes y para mí este libro simplemente no logro convencerme. Para gustos colores así que.
El tipo de escritura en cuanto a su personaje principal no logra convencer en que sea un hombre millonario y parece (junto a sus amigos) solo un morro de 20 tratando de aparentar algo que no es. Los diálogos de igual forma se quedan cortos, son simplones y ni hablar de la atmósfera que no logra sostener el que yo piense me encuentro entre personas privilegiadas rodeada de lujos.
Tal vez en otro momento me pudo gustar (y tal vez la historia pudo ocultar estos problema, pero no le estoy dando tiempo), solo que ahora no es lo busco.

The entire plot is blatantly obvious in Chapter 1. Damien battles a hostile board as they try to buy out some 'helpless homeowners' for their building project. "They should be happy to give up their homes for this project."
We meet Willow in Chapter 2. She runs Silver Hearts, a struggling non-profit who feeds and takes care of these elderly people. One of these sweet elderly people says "You need a good man", why haven't you settled down yet, etc. She will meet the grumpy billionaire who is trying to evict his elderly tenants because his board forces him to volunteer with them to help his image.
Chapter 3: I DNF.

Goshhhhhh - idk what it was about this book but I really really did not enjoy it. I try to keep the frame of mind that no book I read is a waste of time (even if I don't like it) because you just never know until the end...but this? I can imagine why this is rated the way it is as there are some aspects of the story that are sweet but sadly. not a highly rated book / enjoyable read for me.

snooze fest
I liked the storyline but the content was very boring sadly. Not a lot of character development. Dnf about 60% in.

Believable, maybe not, likeable yes
Too short, could have been more developed but funny and very sweet and keeps you reading.

I feel like Willow forgave way too easily. She deserved more.

This is the first book in the Last Billionaire Standing Series where six Manhattan bachelor billionaire’s bet on who will be the last one to tie the knot. This is Damien and Willow’s story and it’s a great start to the series. A romantic comedy with a grump billionaire bachelor who falls hard in this slow burn romance. A cute read with likable characters and a fun story line. I read a free advance copy via the author and voluntarily chose to review it.
