Twenty-six-year-old aspiring actress Erin Parker goes to a wedding in Pennsylvania and while she is there she sees all her old camp friends from Camp Wallakee. (Years ago the girls at the camp all made a pact to marry a billionaire, "The Billionaire Bride Pact"). Later, after the wedding, Erin remembers she has an audition in New York and has to leave. Disappointed when she is too late, and she doesn't make it to the audition, she calls her good friend Matt Walters to tell him about it.
Matt works in a glass studio (Morgantown Art Glass) that his father started, and his family is now trying to keep the business afloat since his dad's passing. Erin and Matt live in the same apartment building, on the same floor, three doors away from each other. Matt lives alone and Erin has a roommate (Sarah). Matt has been crazy about Erin for a long time but Erin just thinks of Matt as a friend. Matt's an easy going guy. Erin is impulsive. Matt thinks they blend well together and Erin makes Matt feel complete. Erin wants fireworks. Erin is afraid of giving them a try to be a couple because could they ever go back to being friends afterwards? Matt's friendship is one of the most important things Erin has.
After hearing from a friend of Erin's that she thinks he's boring and predictable Matt decides to go all out and surprise Erin with his "Matt is Not Boring Experiment". He wakes Erin up early one day with a spreadsheet, and he has plans to do different, fun things with her. But while he is trying to make her see him as more than a friend Erin starts going out with a rich, handsome Broadway star (Brennan Avery) and she finally gets a chance at the big time.
This was an appealing and clean romance. Matt was a sweet and wonderful hero, he was always there for Erin. I liked his occupation, as a glass-blowing artist. It was a different and interesting career. I liked when he took Erin to Pittsburgh to see a famous glass artist at the Carnegie, and then later he took her to the Benedum to see "Guys and Dolls". Erin could be annoying at times. She was too wrapped up in herself to see how she sometimes was using Matt, which he pointed out to her later in the book. Eventually Erin began to see how perfect Matt was for her after she got a taste of fame and found out it wasn't as satisfying as she thought it would be, since she missed Matt.
A short and lovely read.

"I, Erin Marie Parker, do solemnly swear, that someday I'll marry a billionaire...
OR I will have to sing the Camp Wallakee song (with bird calls) at my wedding."
Erin is a struggling actress who knows what she wants out of life and will not settle for anything less! She is the brains behind The Billionaire Bride Pact and has no intention of singing the camp song at her wedding. She WILL marry a billionaire!
Matt is Erin's best friend and has been in love with her for years. He knows all about the pact and is bound and determined to show her that money isn't the key to finding her HEA. But when rich, handsome Brennan Avery shows up as Erin's new costar, Matt knows that he really has his work cut out for him if he's ever going to win the girl he loves.
I. Absolutely. Loved. Matt! Seriously! I loved this guy! He is the one that saved the book for me whenever Erin was frustrating me beyond belief! (Which was often! Lol.) It didn't matter what he was doing, where he was, if she needed him, he was there for her.
I think one of my favorite parts of the book was when Matt laid it all out for Erin and opened her eyes as to how she had been treating him. She had been so caught up in everything going on around her and looking out for #1, that she really hadn't thought about exactly what she had been doing and how much she had hurt him. From that point on, she did some soul searching and realized what truly was important and who she was meant to be with. I ended up loving the new Erin.
The Passionate One brought out so many emotions in me! I laughed, got teary eyed, got extremely frustrated, giggled and even found myself letting out little dreamy sighs! The only thing that could have made this book better for me would've been an epilogue.. even if it was just one paragraph at their wedding reception.. ;) Hehe.
This is my very first book by Jeanette Lewis and I can tell you it won't be my last! I am excited to meet and get to know all the other Camp Wallakee girls and see them get their HEA!
And can I just say that I LOVE this casting! *dreamy sigh*

Erin came up with a brilliant idea as a young teenager at camp--each girl would promise to marry a billionaire or there would be a big consequence. As the creator, she feels a lot of pressure to fulfill this bargain and Matt just doesn't fit in with her plans.
Erin is very helpful and kind, but she does have a tendency to watch out for #1. Her best friend, Matt, wants out of the friend zone, but she's got an acting career to consider. She's always jumping into things without any thought and then seeking for Matt's help to bail her out. Calling her out does no good because she is who she is. Matt is the best friend any girl could have and he would make someone an amazing catch! He's a glass blower and works so hard. He'd give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. I immediately liked him.
The story flows along at a good pace and has plenty of conflict and chemistry. There were moments when I wasn't sure where the story would go and how things could possible work out for Erin. She seems to dig herself in holes quite frequently. I enjoyed the descriptions of the acting world, as well as blowing glass. I'm looking forward to more stories about the girls who made this pact--I hope there are more.
Content: mild romance (kissing); nothing else of note. Clean!

I have mixed feelings about the story. It is a fun and well written story, but I have a love/hate relationship with the main character, Erin. She is so obliviously inconsiderate to her best friend, Matt. Most of the time I wasn't quite sure how to take her.
As a teen, Erin, and her friends at camp made a pact that they would marry a billionaire. I remember making silly dreams as a child and it is normal behavior. It becomes not normal when you carry that beyond childhood and have it become a relationship compass in adulthood. The love/hate comes in because she doesn't realize how ridiculous she is.
Matt is an amazing man who has an infinite amount of patience. I honestly didn't understand why he put up with her as long as he did. I guess love is supposed to be "long-suffering"?
I enjoyed learning a little bit about shaping glass. It is a fascinating process. This book has many great things to offer. The pacing was great and the characters had definition. I enjoyed my time in the book, even though Erin really needed a good talking to.

If the rest of the books in this series are as good as the first two, I am going to be a very happy girl. I love this series so far!
This book is all about Erin. No really. It is ALL about Erin. Which leaves me to repeat the same mantra over and over in my head: "Poor Matt. Poor, poor Matt" Erin has him wrapped around her little finger. Over and over and over. Did I mention the "poor Matt" thing yet? This makes Matt the clear underdog so of course I am rooting for him to get some happy. He is a poor sap. Or very tenacious. One or the other. Or, maybe a bit of both. Regardless, I really liked Matt. He is kind above everything else.
Erin will grow on you. She has a clear idea of what her life is going to be like and she slowly, slowly learns that maybe it isn't so clear after all. Erin is fun and adventurous. She is vivacious and has a distinct personality. But she is really self centered and doesn't extent herself outward much. She doesn't really think about other people and how they are feeling. It was good to see her mind shift- slowly but surely.
Even though I was frustrated by both these character for different reasons, everything came together in a way that left me satisfied in the end. It was a fun story!

The first book in the Billionaire Bride Pact is full of everything fun, frustrating, patient, and kindness. What girl does not want to marry a rich handsome man? That is exactly what Erin and her friends decided. They would each marry a billionaire or face the consequences.
Erin feels the pressure of following the pact and falls for a rich guy. Her best friend, Matt, has loved her for years but does not match up in the income department. Erin is kind and just wants to succeed. She is a hard worker. Matt is the best! He is loyal, patient, and knows how to fight for his feelings.
A super cute read with it all. I cannot wait to read the next books.

Billionaire Bride Pact
This series starts with a group of friends who make a pact at camp to only marry rich men. If they fail, they will have to sing the camp song (including bird calls) at their wedding reception, without being able to explain why. Hearing this made me want to see one of them fail, and maybe a YouTube video of it!
Erin was the mastermind behind the pact. She's a struggling actress, and has an awesome best friend Matt. He wishes they were more than friends. Then, of course, from stage right, enter Brennen Avery, Broadway sensation, and Erin's new costar. He's everything that Erin's ever imagined, but how will that effect her relationship with Matt?
I loved this book! Erin is a little spontaneous and flighty, but she has a good heart. I felt really invested in the characters, and the plot descriptions had me imagining myself there. I wanted to see Erin's play!
I'm not sure what the order of the series is. I read The Resilient One first (and loved it as well). It seems like the books can be read in any order.

Jeanette Lewis has written many different novels, each of them being about the 'Billionaire Bride Pact.' This series is the grown up stories regarding a pact that young teenagers once made about each of them marrying 'up' and having a rich husband one day when they are older.
"The Passionate One" is the fast forwarded version story of the leader of pact's life. This young lady wants to get out of her small, cramped life and unto something bigger and better; however, can the one that is meant for her, be in the same position as her? There will be a twist of a lifetime, either she can have it all- an acting career and a famous actor or she can have the love of her life with the boy next door!
I highly recommend this novel to everyone. I have loved this series and each one of the stories! Reading true love stories makes me heart melt.

This was a novella length story. It is the story of a girl who is a dreamer and a bit of a spoiled brat and the sad guy who has loved her for 2 years waiting for her to come around. He does whatever she needs him to do. This was sad for me to read, I wanted the guy to grow a back bone and the girl to get smacked. Just when I thought they were all getting what they deserved and changing for the better the story ended. This is a clean silly romance but it was well written, I might actually try something else from this author with a different story line.

This is my third read from the series. I've enjoyed the other two and I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the expectations.
For starters there were a few editing issues that I found along the way. Some mispellings and missing words here and there. I'm not much of a stickler about those kinds of things if I only see a couple or so but when I've come across at least 5 of them in a book, it becomes an issue for me.
The second thing is that I didn't quite like the heroine in this book. For the first half of the story she blatantly uses her "best friend" Matt despite the guys obvious love for her. And because of that, I couldn't move forward without having a slight "annoyance" at her. But her character also made me think about how I would feel if it was turned around and the guy was using the girl. And my conclusion is, I would still be annoyed at the person mistreating another. I think that people who do that, be it a girl or a guy, does not deserve the love and devotion of the other.
Anyways, back to the book, I also didn't like how the heroine, I can't even remember her name now, was very naive. For someone in her late 20s she should at least know what reality is and what is fantasy. I felt like she hasn't really been tested by life and is kind of spoiled by people around her.
And the final thing that I didn't like in this story was the ending. I thought all of these books will have the Billionaire ending and this one didn't. (Sorry for the spoiler). Does this mean not all of them would fulfill the pact?

Erin Parker and her summer camp friends made a pact to marry rich men. If one fails to do so, she must sing the camp song at her wedding with no explanation. They called it the Billionaire Bride Pact. I can definitely picture a group of teenage girls doing that!!
When handsome, talented and, yes, rich Brennan Avery becomes her co-star in a play destined for Broadway, it appears that all of Erin’s dreams might come true. But the cost might be her best friend, Matt Walters. Now Erin has to determine if that is too steep a price to pay.
This was a cute, fun, relaxing read. Erin is such a good person. She is kind and always willing to help. Unfortunately, her efforts to help don’t always turn out the way she thinks. In those cases, and any other, she can always turn to Matt. He is amazing! He loves Erin so completely, and she just continues to friend zone him. Poor guy! I really felt for him, especially when Brennan entered Erin’s life.
I loved the book! I was pulled into the story from the very beginning. I didn’t want to stop reading and finished the book in a day. I’m really looking forward to reading the other books in the series! (I just wish I could hear a rendition of the camp song!)

I ended up very pleased with this Billionaire Bride Pact novella. Matt was a great guy I wanted to see get a happy ending. This is a novella so it's a fairly quick read.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a stage ham myself and she described the sensations of pre show and during perfectly. I also really love that she fell for a non billionaire and willing to do what it took even do the singing thing. This was real, down to earth enjoyment.

The book was really nice I enjoy it. At first I find the character Erin was a little naive because she and her friends made this dumb pack about marrying a billionaire when they where younger at a camp . When they get older they either have to marry a billionaire or sing the camp song at their wedding. I think Erin took advantage of Matt because she knew he's always there for her at the beginning. Matt had feelings for Erin but she didn't have those same feelings for him to her Matt was her best friend , even that day when they kiss and she felt something more she denied it. Then came this actor(forgot name at the moment) when she saw him her heart start beating fast and all that and she thought this is it, handsome, popular and rich. Her eyes was only on her new boyfriend since she found out they have stuff in common her parents love him because of course he's rich. Erin thought she had the real deal until she starts missing Matt and always thinks about him. She found out that although they had stuff in common she wasn't feeling the same feeling she had for Matt. Those butterflies in the stomach feeling she had when kissing Matt she don't have them when she kiss him. She then realize what she have with him isn't love and she ends it. I'm glad she finally came around and found love in Matt, both male partner she was with love her but she couldn't see it at first .I personally thinks she should of give Matt a chance long time since he's always there for her no matter what even if he had a bad day. She always want from him and never give of herself until then. I love how it ends just wish it was longer lol.

Only Erin seems to always call Matt when she gets in a fix or needs rescued or just to have someone to talk to. Only Matt wants out of the friend zone! What happens when things finally heat up between them and they share their first kiss? What about when things seem to finally be working out for Erin?

A wannabe Broadway Baby gets her big break on a show with a real star, but she realizes a little late that she is falling in love with her best friend. Erin is part of a group of girls that made a pact at summer camp to marry billionaires. Now that she finally has a shot at a really wealthy boyfriend, she's not quite sure she wants to take it. Instead of the Broadway star, she finds her thoughts centered on Matt, the quiet glass artist who is always there to save her bacon and untangle her impulsive choices. But can the two of them get their lives in order before it all falls apart??? Well of course they can or I wouldn't rate it 5 stars! Its a cute one!

Pleasant read
Sometimes the right person is right in front of you all along and you don't recognise it and many times we take them for granted without even realising it. Erin had Matt right beside her or so long, she could always count on him to be there for her no matter what but convinced herself that he is only a friend. She already had a preconceived idea about what love should be and who she should marry, therefore she was blinded to the treasure she have. The grass always seems greener on the other lawn but most time it isn't. Will she realise what she have before it's too late? Read and find out. This is a lovely story. I enjoyed it

This was a cute story about an actress that is full of drama and a "friend" that knows her better than she knows herself. They are so cute together but she just can't see it. It annoyed me how she hurt him so bad and I wanted to smack her us the side of her head. I guess I'm violent like that. :) Anyway she dream guy shows up and then she has to eat humble pie where her work is concerned. When she finally comes to her senses I thought it might be too late. You'll have to read it to find out the ending, but I loved how it all turned out and the cute twists at the end that made it even better.

The title should have been the Immature, Idiotic One as that would have described Erin more accurately. This is the second book in the series that I've read and if all of the women in the series are this ridiculous, immature, and pathetic I won't make it though the entire series.
I kept pulling for Matt to get a backbone and move on to a woman who appreciate him. Erin was absolutely using him and I cheered when he FINALLY called her on it. He should have kept away from Erin for good though but unfortunately he turned back into the wimpy doormat again.

Sweet and fun
This was a really sweet and fun read, a beautiful reminder that love doesn't just come in the flashy and show types shown in media, and that true love may not always be what you think it is. I loved this continuation of the Billionaire Bride Pact (and that a billionaire isn't always the answer!). Sweet and clean.

Feels like so many other books I've read. Girl has a best guy friend who wants to marry her, but she wants someone richer, more attractive, and more exotic. When she realizes she really does like her friend more, is it too late? It was fun to read, but didn't capture my attention like so many other books do in this genre.
Still, a clean story and fun plot, although predictable.

The Passionate One
I really enjoyed this romance! It was so sweet and clean! I usually prefer steamy and a little bit kinky,but with some humor. What I loved was this heroine was ditzy, but not bordering on a mental health crisis!! I really enjoyed the growth of our couple! I will read more!!

Fine Story Indeed
I love, love, love this series! What does she really want? Can she see when it arrives?
What does he really want? How can he get it?
Lewis writes a delightful story containing elements of both sweet old-fashioned kindness and modern seeking for perfection in all things at once.
Recommended for all readers of clean romance.

January 5, 2021I liked this one. I was surprised she had the first book’s character not end up with a billionaire - but it was fun to read about the Broadway parts and the glass blowing parts. There are things I can definitely pick apart (like poor Matt who kept getting walked all over but stuck around), but I know these books are like that so I tend to overlook it.

A quick, fun read. I'm so glad that Erin finally opened her eyes and saw Matt. I always thought that relationships that start as friendships have a stronger foundation to last longer and not fizzle out with time. I also love that Erin made it to New York! :-)

Great
The had a pack from camp that they would all try to marry billionaires. But Erin was no finding that, and when she almost found a rich one. Her best friend Matt is as better choice.

I really liked this book! The Passionate One was a mix of an enticing romance and falling in love with your best friend, and I thought it was written perfectly. I loved every part about this book, and I really look forward to reading more by this author!
