Taking a Risk

A "Kind Of" Billionaire #1

by Lexy Timms

Divorced, childless, and jobless at 30. My younger self had it all planned. I would be married by 22—check. Have the dream job after university—check. And a couple of kids to go with the perfect wife. Scratch that. My wife left me for a guy ten years younger than me, and they're having the babies we should have had. The dream job became a dream when the company I worked for went belly up because of bad investments. So here I am, moving across the state with just my dog to the big city. Single, jobless and about enough money after the divorce to pay-off my truck, and hopefully rent an apartment. Then I got offered an easy job managing some billionaire's estate while he's off to Antarctica for three months on some expedition. So here I sit, counting his money, pretending to be him. Well, more like a glorified house sitter whose German shepherd actually landed me the job because he looks like a guard dog. (Which couldn't be further from the truth.) What I didn't expect (nor I assume did he) was that his daughter would show up. One that apparently can't stand her father. He said to treat everything as if it were mine. I might be taking this job a little too literally. A "Kind of" Billionaire Taking a Risk Safety in Numbers Pretend You're Mine This is a 3 part book series. All your questions will not be answered in the first book.

Good story apart from one small but glaring error

Overall I enjoyed this book, loved the character of William, very well defined and his relationship with Beau is perfectly described. My only complaint is a small point but it really annoyed me that author couldn't decide if the trip that her father was taking was to the Antarctic or Arctic???

Beau, is sweet & hilarious. This is a long puzzle of unanswered questions. At this point, I'm not even convinced that William is ready for a "fling" because he is on the rebound and he just doesn't seem like that kind of man plus his new job seems odd. I don't really like Sophie, yes she is spoiled but I think she is a little too old for her immature ways. It's a cliffhanger so to me, as soon as plot built up intensity it abruptly crashed.

Loved beau and Loved the chemistry between William and Sophie. I wish Sophie would give in to what she really wants and go after her dreams and what not. Maybe she will in the books to come. Can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Cliffhanger

I usually like Lexy Timms' books. This one was a little cheesy in my mind and then as I tried to get through it - it ended in a cliffhanger. UGH.....

Great story

A lot of danger and romance keeps you turning the pages until the end and can't wait for the next book

Odd book

[Peggy Moore · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a good book. It kept me interested the whole time. Its the meeting of William and Sophie and the pull they feel from the start.
