When preschool teacher Maya Hamilton scored tickets to the Metropolitan Museum's Winter Gala, the last thing she thought she'd find there was true love. She'd been burned in the past, and definitely wasn't looking for a man. Then she met Dylan Corbett.

He was from a different world: a billionaire, part of Manhattan high society, and so drop-dead gorgeous that he looked like he stepped right out of the pages of a magazine. They couldn't have been more different, but Dylan didn't care. He wanted her. So he devised a plan to spend more time with her. Now Dylan has just five days to win Maya over. Five days to romance her, to earn her trust.

Can Dylan heal Maya's broken heart? And can these two unlikely lovers make a future together?

Dylan is a standalone BWWM romance with no cliffhangers and an HEA.

2.5 stars rounded up

A little too much insta-love and suspension of disbelief for my taste but if you're looking for a quick and escapist modern Cinderella story with a preschool teacher and a billionaire, this might be for you. Everything happening in just a few days based on Bachelor-style dates and a high-handed hero didn't really work for me, but your mileage may vary.

This is the love story of Billionaire (I know) Dylan Corbett and pre-school teacher, Maya Hamilton. This story doesn't chart new territory, but it's a quick, sweet read and I liked it anyway. 3.5 Stars

Good Read. Good short-read for lovers of interracial romance. I read this book in one sitting and enjoyed every minute of it. The only thing I wanted was more sex between Dylan and Maya because they were a pretty hot couple.

Kept picturing; "Jake & Olivia" one of my favorite t.v. couples. Plus, the author mentioned Scandal! Lol.

"A billionaire and a preschool teacher... it sounded ridiculous. Shit like that only happened in fairy tales. In real life, guys like Dylan didn’t end up with girls like me. — Maya


I don't care for billionaire reads.... I try to stay as far away as possible... But the cover and blurb dragged me in.. And I'm glad I took a chance. This interracial romance was very clean & sweet. Yuk! There's that sweet word again. Lol..

We have, Maya Hamilton, is a strong-willed woman with Trust Issues. She works as a preschool teacher and loves staying at home (and binge watching "Scandal" on Netflix) So, when her friend, Tracy, makes her come out to a fancy charity party.... She meets the very sexy, Dylan Corbatt, who is a billionaire, tired of meeting women who are only interested in his money and the allure of the family name, boring conversations and empty sex. He wants something much more, something REAL. And when Dylan sees Maya, and gets to know her, he knows in that moment, that he'd do whatever he has to – ANYTHING – to make her his. Because the breathtaking and beautiful, Maya Hamilton is like no woman he'd ever met before.

Highly recommended if you like a clean, decent and sweet IR story. No cheating. Not a lot of sex. And HEA.

I thought it was pretty good. Not much action. The book at a whole was tame. But all in all it was a good book to read. I Love reading about The Corbett Brothers. I just wish I could find out Tammy’s Story. I can’t find that book.

Magical

This book, I just couldn't put it down until the end. I don't think I've ever read a happier book. There was fantasy, warmth and confusion of course. But more than anything else, their was love. If you ant a nice romance ? Read this story it warms you from inside out . ENJOY

Another Great Read!

I am really enjoying this series! I Loved the way Dylan knew what he wanted and came up with all original ideas to woo the woman he wanted without going for the goodies right away. Lol He respected her rules and admired her for them. I think everyone who reads this book will enjoy it. I highly recommend!

Maya has been burned by love in the past and the last thing she is looking for is love. When she attends a function, she scored tickets to meeting Dylan was the last thing she expects. Dylan is drawn to Maya right from start but she is evasive. He is determined to win Maya over and has five days to do it. Will he get the girl his heart desires?

Good

Very easy read! I thought I loved Rowan but I think Dylan has him beat for now. I appreciate her providing a look into their lives six years later. I can't wait to read Tracy's story and the next Corbett brother story.

What else is there to say, another sweet short love story. And a happily ever after.
Though the family of brothers are mentioned often, when reading their actual stories, they don't really match up.

Good story

This is a great Cinderella-like story. Maya meets her "prince" Dylan at a fancy gala. Midnight isn't their death knell though. He just has to break through her trust issues. I think this is the third book I have read by this author. Always a great read but the editing could have been better.

Enjoyable

I'm giving Ms.King four stars because I enjoyed her book. I have a few issues with the story though....
1. A week is just to short of a time to decide that you trust someone and that you are in love with them. Just because you have an unlimited income and can wine and dine the check out of me doesn't make me fall in love with you or trust you.
2. I need more descriptions of the characters features. The covers of the novels rarely depict the authors descriptions. The guy on the cover did not have dark wavy hair or green eyes..the heroine was just described as pretty and brown skin. That's not enough of a visual.
3. There was no conflict to be found. And the "lie" that he told her was weak and resolved in nano seconds.
4. You mentioned the hero's family and how he had brothers but we never got an introduction. Of course each brother will have his own story, but it would have been nice to have met them.
4. Stop wrapping up such a nice story so quickly....readers love detail..nothing over the top but enough detail that you feel satisfied having read the book.
I will read another book of Ms king she's got talent...although looking at the covers of her other novels...I get annoyed seeing pregnant women on the covers. It's always and "accidental" pregnancy, what billionaire would want to practice safe sex? I'm rambling, but these are my thoughts....good job Ms king.

I love the fact that even though they both come from two different worlds,they have a lot if things in common. I love how he set out to do things differently with Maya since they've met starting out with him paying a million dollars for a painting from her favorite artist. I think I fell in love with along with Maya. I love how he romanced her treating more than a easy lay or a one night stand. He treated her as she should be treated with respect and his future. This story shows that finding your soul mate, your heart's other half it can only one word Magical.

A nice romance

Although I have jus about had it up to here with billionaire romance stories,I was pleasantly surprised with the this one. It was sweet and interesting not overwrought with fake drama.good solid writing and a good storyline. Some might say that it all happened to fast but I'm ok with that this one time.

Interracial Romance

This is a short but sweet love story between Maya and Dylan. They’re both from different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds so their relationship was a bit rocky to start. I would’ve preferred that they had more time for their relationship to blossom which would’ve made for a more believable story. 3/5 stars

It was a good read. I like that the characters didn't jump right into bed, but I think this could have been longer. I think the story line could have been developed a little more as everything felt rushed. However, I loved how Dylan romanced her.

Love it!

Maya has been burned in a bad way from a previous relationship and trust is hard to come by especially when she meets Dylan. Dylan makes a deal with Maya to win her heart. It was very entertaining to read as their relationship grew.

Just Okay

This was a one sided story. Felt one person put more into the relationship than the other. Must say I skipped through several pages to finish the book.
