Confessions of a Billionaire: The Lie

by Lea Michaels

***Please note this is a short read series***

Madison—still in pain from a recent broken heart—is new to Ellicott City and is just trying to figure out where she fits in. After a string of catastrophic first dates with online suitors, she begins wondering if every man is the same. Is every man she meets a liar? However, after a clumsy run in with a mysterious man, Connor, her view on love may change.

Their attraction reaches levels that neither Madison nor Connor ever thought possible—but will his secret, billionaire life cause a rift between them? Madison is determined to protect herself from lies, but her feelings for Connor may get in the way of that.

I just loved it!

I liked that the male character didn't feel that he was a NORMAL guy. He got nervous thinking the female character wouldn't like him if he wasn't NORMAL.

If you haven't already jumped into the internet dating pool at least once, surely you have wondered what it must be like and even heard about the type of people you might meet. Confessions of a Billionaire explores the romance of a couple who connects through an online dating service and the fallout that inevitably happens when one lies about their background.

Dating a millionaire, no a billionaire, is total fantasy, but I guess it could happen. After all, mega wealthy guys want their fair share at love, too. Connor has good intentions, but he weaves a web of lies and it's amusing to see him disentangle himself from the mess. Madison's feelers are up, suspicious of the things that don't add up, but helpless from falling for him.

Once Connor comes clean, there really isn't enough conflict to keep the momentum going for this couple. Guy impresses girl, girl gets comfortable with rich boyfriend's lifestyle. Madison's ex reappears in her life for a moment but doesn't cause any problems for Madison and Connor. Their romance is sweet but lacks spark and drama

However, Billionaire shines in the writing. Dialogue wasn't forced, the couple was relaxed, and narratives flowed easily, which kept me reading with genuine interest in the characters and their lives. I kept waiting for the moment when the story would really take off into something great, but it just didn't happen for me. If you switched out the billionaire boyfriend with the average guy, you’d get a very ordinary romance that is plain to see in your everyday world. If you’re like me and prefer a little more meat with lots of sexiness in romances, then I’d say this isn’t the series for you. However, if a squeaky clean and laid back love is more your style, get your copy and settle in with this 4-novella series. It just may be enough to tantalize any women who dreams of scoring big via online dating.

Pretty good story

I really liked this book, good characters, pretty well done story. It was just too open ended. Without reading the sequels, it left too many loose ends; I'm not sure whether that's good or bad though. I suppose that's how to sell the rest of the series, reel the reader in and hook them. The second short book is free on the authors' page, that just leaves parts three and four to purchase.

Extremely short, like I would view it as a sample or and not even three chapters worth of reading. He totally jumped the gun with his one date= love/change-of-life-style-thought-process. I understand the book was free but I'd like at least some realistic aspects to the story.

Good

Madison met Connor online and went out on a date with him. It looks like they hit off. See how it turns out.
