The Marriage Bet: The Billionaire Games, Book 2

by Olivia Hayle, Samantha Cook (Narrator), Tim Paige (Narrator)

Rafe Montclair is the ruthless billionaire about to destroy my company. The only way to stop it? Become his wife and pretend to love the man I hate.

He’s tall, charming, and speaks three languages. But where I value craftsmanship, he shuts down century-old workshops for profit. I can’t let him do the same to my fashion house.

So I’ll wear his giant ring and spend the summer in his Lake Como villa, but I plan to drive him insane. I drink too much champagne, swim in his fountain, and steal shirts from his closet.

The problem? Rafe never backs down. He ups the stakes instead. Soon, we’re sharing a bed for appearances and kissing in public.

I tease him in tiny outfits just to see him crack. Until he does… and I learn the only thing more dangerous than Rafe Montclair in control is when he goes after what he wants.

He holds me when I have panic attacks and fights my battles like they’re his own. And when he wakes up from nightmares, he won’t explain… I realize he’s waging a war of his own.

Rafe bet he could control this marriage. But I’m the one thing he never planned on wanting this badly.

About the author

Hi there! I'm Olivia.
I write romance with billionaire heroes (despite never having met one in person). They're strong, ambitious, they don't need love... until they meet the women who change their minds.

I love witty banter, smart heroines, big cities and perfectly tailored suits. You'll find all four in every one of my books! 💜

Reviews

[Amber]

I love the way Olivia writes an enemies to lovers. The way these two went from rivals companies to marriage of convenience to actually in love. They both pushed each other to be their best through their competitive nature and hard headed behavior. I also love the way Olivia’s frame therapy lessons, and relationships with family that aren’t the best. Whilst we don’t get a ton of Rafe’s family dynamic, he is dealing with something deeply personal and Paige’s family dynamic is Al’s so deeply complicated. Fantastic read as always. And as always the narrators did an excellent job!

This was such a cute vibes read and I loved on the tidbits that were built on from Book 1. They’re standalone but there’s these small threads running throughout.
I gave the serious theory that Hadrian and Amber are meant to be and they’ll have a book at some point. But for now, I’m excited to see whose story it’ll be in book 3.
As someone whose 3 favorite places are Monaco, Lake Como, and anywhere in Switzerland, this book journey felt like it was a little literary geographical pick me up until my next trip.

Enjoyable. I wish the series was all released so I didn't have to wait and all the characters would be more fresh in my mind since it's a few months until the next one will be released.
