O'Rourke Family #1
A Date with a Billionaire
Local Woman Says "No" to Date with Billionaire
No one was more astounded by the headline than the billionaire bachelor himself! Kane O'Rourke hadn't wanted to be the "prize" in his brother's crazy contest. But he wouldn't accept rejection – not as one of the most successful men in the world. Kane was determined to make the pretty Bethany Cox live up to her part of the bargain…
Just because Kane was rich and gorgeous didn't mean Beth had to give in to his demands. Then why, once in his mesmerizing presence, had Beth found herself powerless to say no? But did a small-town girl like her have what it took to make this breathtaking billionaire hers for more than one romantic night together…?

Takes place in Seattle. Check.
Billionaire. Check.
Young woman with a looks complex. Check.
She doesn't see herself good enough for him. Check.
He doesn't see he's good enough for her. Check.
Over-the-top money useage making her uncomfortable. Check.
Hmm, fifty shades precursor without the oversexed libidos or therapist needed psychological issues.
Seriously. It was a cute story of a down to earth stubbornly independent woman who wins a date with Kane after her married neighbor puts her name in. The characters are fun to read because they butt heads over stupid things like normal people do.

Es una historia cliché, pero con todo lo bueno que ofrecen los clichés, te encuentras con muy bonitas frases. Tiene tanto momentos románticos, graciosos y profundos, todos sutilmente colocados, lo cual hace muy especial la historia. Es una lectura ligera y rápido, ideal para pasar un buen rato.

4 Stars! ~ Beth Cox had a meddling neighbour who entered her in a radio station contest for a date with the town's most eligible bachelor, Kane O'Rourke. But she shocked them all when she turned the date down and the local paper wrote about it. Kane had felt obligated to agree to the contest when his brother, Patrick asked him for a favour to help his struggling radio station. He didn't know how to take Beth's public rejection, but feeling annoyed and embarrassed he had to get her to change her mind. Not only was his pride at stake but Patrick's radio station's credibility. Beth hadn't meant for a media frenzy. But when the radio station hadn't returned her call and the ever so important Kane O'Rourke's staff refused to let her speak with him, she couldn't bite her tongue when the nosey reporter hounded her for an interview. What shocked her though was when the ever so irresistible Billionaire showed up to change her mind. And being irresistible, Kane can't understand what the problem is ... women want to go out with him!
What a delight! From the first pages Ms. Morris had me in stitches. Beth's still not over her fiance who died five years before and she had no intention of dating anyone, esp. someone chased by media. Kane hadn't always been rich. When he was 19, his father died and he suddenly became the head of the family. But his siblings are all adults now, and he can't seem to stop wanting to take care of them. I loved how Kane became self aware of his domineering ways. I'm very much looking forward to reading the other books about the O'Rourkes by Ms. Morris.

This romance novel was a bit different. It wasn't the typical boy meets girl, they develop feelings, have a huge misunderstanding and then eventually get back together. This novel begins with a woman winning a date with local celebrity billionaire and turning it down. They have a nice courtship with both trying to work on their short comings. It was a delightful change from the typical plot line.

This is a fun read. An irresistable hero and spunky heroine. Ms. Morris has a great sense of humour and I was grinning and chuckling right fromt he beginning. There are four other O'Rourke siblings, I'll have to hunt their stories down.
