The Billionaire’s Courtship is book three in the mini-series, Dare Valley Meets Paris by Ava Miles. This book was generously provided to me by the author for an honest review.
Margie has discovered who Evan really is, the truth about his wealth. After her initial feelings of betrayal, she eventually realizes why he did what he did and that she has grown to know the real Evan, not the one he pretends to be that is portrayed in the tabloids.
Margie has brought Evan back what he sought, the magic to invent. His love for her somehow unlocked his creativity, something he hadn’t felt in a long time. They love each other and he is determined to court her, to make her seven remaining days in Paris the most memorable possible. To show her the city of love.
“They had right now. That was what mattered.”
Margie is spending her days learning as much as she can from her baking apprenticeship and her nights are all for Evan. She has tackled the art of making crescents from scratch, from a master French baker. The goal of all of this was to take all of this new found knowledge back to Dare Valley when she opens her own bakery. But that means leaving Evan behind. His life is here in Paris and hers is in Colorado.
When their magical time together is over in Paris, what will happen next? Will that be the end for Margie and Evan? I don’t see how it will be possible for these two to work out the geographical issues, not to mention their individual careers. I can’t wait to see how this all ends with book four, The Billionaire’s Return.

What's more French than baguettes and painting? An intoxicating romance based on true love, of course!
As the third book in the Paris Billionaire series by Ava Miles, we're closer to finding out whether or not Margie and Evan will stay together. It's almost impossible though--he lives in Paris, and she in Dare Valley, and while they're both very much in love with each other, they also have their own businesses to run as part of their lifelong dream. It's easy to fantasize about how you'd be courted by a billionaire, but that hasn't ever been Margie's dream. She wants love, to enjoy life, and to successfully run her bakery Hot Cross Buns as her passion. For Margie, baking bread in Paris has been as breathtaking as Evan's kisses and their conversations and time together as intoxicating as the finest wine. She knows she can never give that up, and she also doesn't want to stop being with Evan. As for Evan, he invents as he breathes, which is why he threw himself into wooing Margie in ways that only brought them closer together and assured them both that they are indeed meant to be. Evan knows that his life won't be complete without Margie by his side, so he proposes to her in public without blinking an eye against the camera flashes all around them. We hold our breaths as we wait for her answer, only to discover that Margie feels very certain about their love, but not about what to do next. But that's exactly what the final installment is for--so read on!
I also received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review; all conclusions are my own.

We need more courtship in our lives!

Not as good as Dare River Series
It should have been written as one book. Instead I had to buy each book separately. More expensive. This series is SO mild compared to Dare River. Somewhat disappointed. I'm hopeful another series will have more successful stance.

Margie and Evan continue the most romantic courtship in Paris. Evan definitely tosses his money around (judiciously) and sometimes the wealth makes Margie feel uncomfortable, but their relationship progresses nicely. Lots of sweet moments in this book.

Moving on...
Good thing I didn't have to wait for the next part. Moving directly on because Evan just asked Margie to marry him. I was not happy with the answer and I'm moving in crying.

The Billionaire’s Courtship is book 3 of 4 in the Paris miniseries and it is a must read- be forewarned though there are cliff hangers so if you are not into that, wait to read all 4 together.
I loved this book just like I have loved the other 2 in the series. To recap, Evan a self-made billionaire inventor, Evan Michael's, loses a bet in a poker game and has to live like a normal person for a month in small town Dare Valley and be celibate for that time. He rents a room in Margie Lancaster’s house. They immediately start to like each other but can’t be together as Evan has a celibacy pact. Margie has her new bakery about to open making amazing cinnamon rolls. Margie is going to Paris for 10 weeks to be an apprentice Andre a baker in a wonderful bakery in Paris. In Paris, Evan and Margie spend all their free time together enjoying each other and Paris. Evan is still keeping his secret of being a Billionaire, and Margie has explained why she doesn’t like rich people and her background leaving all the wealth behind.
The Billionaire’s Courtship (book 3) is a continuation of Evan and Margie’s love affair. It picks up exactly where it left off, Margie just learned Evan is a billionaire and had been lying to her. Now that Evan’s secret of him being a Billionaire is out, Margie is avoiding him and dodging his calls. Who can blame her?! She is hurt and confused because he lied to her about his money and himself, but you also feel his pain and why he did what he did. He wanted her to like him and now love him for him, not his money or status. Margie gives Evan a chance to explain himself and why he kept everything hidden. They both admit their love for each other. Evan decides to court Margie while she is still in Paris for the week and for them to have a great time until the end of the week when Margie goes back to Dare Valley. Although they have a wonderful time the end is always luring around in the background of the story..
I love reading how things continue to unfold with them as they sort through their feelings. I want them to be together and happy- you can’t help but fall in love with them both and want it all to work out. You feel for each of them along this journey and understand each of their sides, now it’s waiting to see what happens and what they decide.
I couldn’t stop reading this fast enough and now can’t wait to see what happens in book 4- The Billionaire’s Return.

In the third installment of Ava Miles Dare Valley Meets Paris mini-series, Evan’s secret has been revealed to Margie. This is a very hard time for her. She is trying to focus on her apprenticeship at the bakery, while trying to deal with her personal turmoil. Of course she is not getting much sleep while trying to balance her time between the two huge life events.
Evan is relieved that his secret is out. He is determined to use the short time that he has left with Margie to show her his beautiful city of love, as just what it is. He is going to court her and allow Paris to help him with his seduction. There is not much time left, but Evan will use it to his full advantage. He needs to show Margie how much she means to him.
This portion of the series is my favorite so far. It’s a romantic stroll through Paris with Margie and Evan. We get to see Paris through their eyes. It is an amazing trip through the city. I loved it! I do advise you to stop by your favorite bakery and pick up a croissant to have on hand while reading this part of the series. You will crave baked goods!
What looms large is Margie’s inevitable return to Dare Valley. It is definitely the elephant in the room. What is in store for Margie and Evan? Where do they go from here? His life is in Paris, and hers is in Dare Valley. How will they ever be able to say goodbye?
Ava Miles delights with this installment in her Dare Valley Meets Paris contemporary series. You will enjoy a magical tour of Paris, as you smell the delicious aroma of baking bread. It’s an experience of the senses! I can’t wait to read the final chapter in this enchanting love story!

***I received this ARC from the author in return for my honest opinions. All opinions formed are my own and no compensation have been given. ***
Again, this book picks up where the last one left off...which is when Margie found out about Evan being a billionaire. She avoids him and calls home to find out what is going on and her suspicious are confirmed. Evan chases her down with more flowers..so romantic... and tells her everything. While this does make up for most everything and the fact they love each other, it doesn't help the fact she has some major problems with money. I feel she is a bit silly about it though, yes she grew up with money, yes her family is nothing to brag about, but why does she judge everyone by just what she was around. She is just a bit silly is all I can say about that matter and how she freaks out every time he wants to do something or give her something.
Again this Chase guy is bugging me...just can't explain it but there is something not right about that guy I think. The ending of this book pisses me off a bit. Evan has fallen so in love but they have only been together a short time and she is going to be leaving soon. Just sad when he runs away from her, but she should have worded things differently again she is being a bit of a snob. She gets along with her RICH friends in Dare Valley. Whatever, all in all this one is rating in at four stars as well and I am so anxious to conclude this serial.

The Billionaire’s Courtship is book three in the Dare Valley Meets Paris series by Ava Miles. It is a continuation of the love affair of Margie Lancaster and Evan Michaels. It is set in Paris.
Margie went to Paris to train for ten weeks with a Parisian Baker, Andre. She was learning to make Baguettes and other breads of Paris. She was also to learn to make croissants. She was learning these to bring back to her bakery, Hot Cross Bun, in Dare Valley. She is hoping to spend time with Evan while she is in Paris. However, on her third day in Paris, Belle, the baker’s wife, showed her a tabloid of billionaire Evan Michaels at play. She had no problem identifying the Evan Murray she knew as really being Evan Michaels. What else had he failed to tell her and why?
Evan knew he should have already told Margie who he really was; but he was afraid of losing her especially after she was so adamant about hating her parents and their lifestyle among the rich. He couldn’t bear to lose her after she rekindled his life with her gift of love and her gift of giving him back his ability to invent. Now he was on the path of a new invention thanks to her. Could he have both Margie and his inventions and his lifestyle?
The next seven days would be the turning point for both their lives. What would be the outcome when it came time for her to leave?

This is part 3 of the Paris mini-series. As mentioned before in my reviews of Part 1 and 2, if you are the type that dislike cliff-hangers, do wait for all 4 of the parts to be out and read it at one go. I think you will love it more.
Part 3 was a tad disappointing for me. Margie had found out who Evan really was and she was avoiding him as she didn't know how to handle it. Evan hadn't known that Margie already knew the truth and was worried sick when she didn't answer his calls and texts. Eventually, Margie understands why Evan did what he did and forgives him. That started Evan's courtship of Margie. He was determined to use the short time they had to win Margie's love. After the magic in Part 1 and Part 2, I was hoping for even more magic in Part 3. There were some romantic scenes and Ava once again brought us to the streets of Paris with her writing, but I just wanted a little more. Nevertheless, it is still a great instalment to this series.
The story ends sadly when Margie has to return back to Dare Valley. Can't wait to find out how this couple gets their HEA.

Learning Evan's true identity throws Margie for a loop. She knew that he was keeping something from her, she just hadn't known what. Now that she knew all she could think about was how she had left that life and wanted nothing to do with it.
Evan knew that he should have told her from the very beginning, but he had been afraid that she would have slammed the door on any relationship especially a romantic one. He had been so alone before. He had no family and one friend. Finding Margie had been a blessing. He loved the fact that their relationship started with them being friends before it had become romantic.
Evan wanted Margie to experience romance in Paris so he planned to wine and dine her along with taking her to some of the most romantic places in the city that Evan loved.
Margie couldn't have asked for a more romantic visit to Paris and experiencing all of those things with Evan made them even more special, but they were so different and wanted different things for their life and that would always be an issue if they were together.
I'm looking forward to reading the final book and conclusion to Evan and Margie's story.

Margie has avoided Evan since learning his true identity. She is struggling with his billionaire status and the fact that he kept it from her. Evan is desperate to see Margie. He finally waits and stops her on her way to the bakery. They talk and Evan decides he is going to give Margie a real courtship and gradually introduce her to his life in Paris. She is still struggling with his wealth. She walked away from her family because of the trappings of the wealthy lifestyle and is not sure she can handle Evan's lifestyle. At the bakery, Andre is teaching her the secrets of making bread with love.
Ava Miles is telling Margie and Evan's story but she is also including the wonders of Paris and how the city itself seems to be made for lovers. Margie and Evan continue to grow and shed some of their insecurities. They are a couple you root for to overcome all the obstacles but they are also someone you grow to like. I love how Ava Miles unfolds a story that feels like it could be someone you know. I am definitely on pins and needles waiting to see what happens to Margie and Evan.

The Billionaire's Courtship is part 3 in a 4 part series. These books should not be read as standalone books, as you will miss the major part of the series.
Evan's secret is out!! Margie knows that Evan is a billionaire. She is hurt, but understands why he would do this. She refuses to answer Evans calls and will go out of her way so that she does not speak to Evan. Margie throws herself into her baking and is learning to make croissants.
Evan finally convinces Margie to let him court her and show her what Paris is about. All of the special sights, picnics and fun that they have together is amazing. They go on boat rides, have fabulous dinners and have a wonderful time. Evan realizes that he cannot live without Margie. He decides that there is little time left for her to remain in Paris, so he proposes in front of a lot of people with cameras flashing as he gets down to propose. Margie cannot say yes. She knows this is temporary and she has to go back to the United States. This is a cliff hanger and is a very quick read.

Book 2 ended with Margie finding out Evan's secret (!) and I couldn't download book 3 fast enough! I was concerned that this part of it would be long and drawn out, but I ended up being pleasantly surprised. Margie needs time to think through things, but Evan doesn't let her hide. He seeks her out, tells her the truth, and lays his heart of the line.
It was nice to watch their romance progress after Margie knew the truth. Evan recognizes that she is still sensitive about his money, but he does his best to gradually show her his true self without being overwhelming. I also enjoyed Evan get back to his inventive/creative mind set.
I'll admit I am a bit confused about Chase...he is skeptical while being somewhat supportive, but I wonder if there is more to this character than we know?
This book once again ends at a crucial moment, and I'm really anticipating book 4 to see what happens!

Part three story of:
Evan Michaels (our billionaire)
Margie Lancaster (our baker)
Great story! The story continues where part two leaves off. A few days is what they together in Paris and what a whirlwind it is. I loved all the romantic places they both went to visit. I felt that I was there with them due to all the detailed descriptions that I've read.
It starts off with a realization from Margie as to why Evan had not told her who is really is. I really enjoyed Evans character, there are very few and far between men who would go to great lengths to love and cherish the women they are with. It was great to see Margie grow not only in her knowledge of learning to make Croissants, baguettes, but how her feelings for Evan are transferred into her baking. She also learns that it is okay to give her all into her relationship with him. BUT OMG! What I great cliffhanger! I just wanted to scream! It was so good!

A romantic, beautiful continuation of the series!
Now that Margie Lancaster knows the truth that Evan Michaels is a billionaire inventor, he decides to spend the rest of her short time in Paris showering her with romance. Knowing that she is very uncomfortable with extravagant gifts and outings, he arranges for experiences that are priceless beyond words, but very inexpensive.
They fall more in love with each moment they spend together, until Evan realizes he wants every moment to be with her. On her last night in Paris, he arranges for the most romantic evening of all, culminating in a proposal!
This book is a wonderful third installment of the quartet, leaving us with a dissatisfying ending! Not quite a cliff hanger...but not what we wanted to happen! I, for one, was anxious for the next book to come out so I could find out what happened next!!

Part 3 continues the story about Margie and Evan. Finally the secret has been revealed and the feelings of betrayal have been worked through. Words of love have been spoken and Evan decides to court Margie both in ways that stay true to how Margie feels comfortable as well as how Evan really wants her to see how he lives. While these glimpses into Evan’s life make Margie feel nervous, both Margie and Evan know that Margies’s time in Paris is drawing to a close. Evan decides to go for broke and make one last grand gesture, which upsets Margie because she feels she and Evan have different lives that can’t work together. This hurts Evan very much because he doesn’t think she really accepts him for who he really is, so he leaves her. I can hardly wait to read Part 4 to see if they can work out their differences.

He takes her to all parts of Paris, both knowing (although hoping it won’t be) that after the 10 days she will be going home. Her baking family are there for her, making sure she won’t be hurt once again.
Ava has been able to show us the sights of Paris through her eyes and it’s wonderful.

The Billionaire's Courtship is the perfect continuation of the Dare Valley Meets Paris miniseries. Ava surprised me when she created a Margie so forgiving of Evan's identity deception. I really thought Margie would be angrier. but she was almost too understanding. Evan's courtship of Margie is sweet, the descriptions of Paris inspiring. And I loved Andre instructing Margie in the art of making croissants. Evan and Margie's last night together made me want to cry; I could feel the separation beginning. That it ended so abruptly was especially sad. As much as they love each other, something has to smack at least one of them over the head. Maybe Chase will intervene? Well, that's what Part IV is for!

In The Billionaire's Courtship we find Margie and Evan dealing with the fallout from Evan's secret coming out. How can he convince her that he is in love with her and she should take a chance on him. Her past issues with people with money and their lifestyles could be a big hurdle that they can't overcome. Like the other novellas before this one, it was a quick, easy read. It was very descriptive and I could picture the places they visited and it made me want to go and see them for myself. This is a great mini-series. A full novel would have been my preference, but being broken down into the four novellas didn't really take away from my enjoyment of them.

We are left with the mother of all cliffhangers in this third instalment of the mini series. I couldn't wait to read this one and I can't wait for the last book. Way to go Ava!

Book three in the Dare Valley Meets Paris series brings Evan and Margie back together. They both had secrets from their past, but they are now revealed. Watching Margie try to get through the issues from her past was painful at times, but also hopeful. Watching Evan go to such great lengths to prove himself and his love was achingly sweet. Each book in this series leaves you wondering if they will end up together. They seem to be so right for each other, and then something else comes between them. They both have dreams that keep them apart - Margie's bakery in Dare Valley, and Evan's inventing in Paris. Can they find a way to be together and still follow their career dreams? Will Book four bring them together? Cliffhangers....waiting....

“Love the Unexpected”
This is the third in a four part series. I was expecting this book to have the big climax and more resolution, especially after how the second book ended. However, it just kept building and building. I love the challenges that Ava Miles throw her couples into. They are more realistic than regular predictable story points. I was anticipating his deception to be the biggest hurdle but Ava Miles moves past that and really focuses on their emotions. She shows that those emotions can sometimes be the true hurdle in a relationship.
I love this whole series.

Once again Ava Miles has done it again and each time I read about Evan and Margie making me tear it is about to end. I loved in this one that Evan is still who he used to be but because of his fame at inventing it has changed him. Margie is the one for him but even she is doubting if their love can survive his world. I have to say when you read a book by Ava Miles it is not just a book you reading but people coming to life. I felt for Evan to finally finding his love but now has to work to keep it with him. The love is there and I am so excited to see what is next for Evan and Margie. Loving the Paris world.

Margie discovered Evan’s secret and book two ends with her so upset she and the reader is wondering what will happen next. She just avoids Evan until she can gather her thoughts and feelings. The character of Chase is an interesting one; first you hate him but he grows on you.
This book has a good story as well as the others but I was a little disappointed in the ending this time. I can’t say anymore with spoiling the story.
Ava still has a good story and it still had that cliffhanger which makes you want the next book.
