A Suave Billionaire's Secret Life
He fought for her heart, but he’s been keeping a secret—one that could ruin everything.Secret identities come in handy when a billionaire needs to unwind, but Mitch never expected to meet the love of his life while under cover. And he certainly never meant to keep his true identity a secret from her forever—just long enough to convince her that he wasn’t like the other affluent men who’d hurt her in the past. But time is running out. He’s got to figure out how to tell her who he really is before she finds out on her own, and their chance for a happily ever after goes up in smoke.
Kelsey assumed Mitch was just a regular guy—an amazing, regular guy—when he saved her from a mugger after one of his prize fights. But handsome strangers one meets in alleys aren't always who they seem to be. And when she runs into Mitch at a gala for the rich and famous, the truth comes out. She’s not sure what to believe when she sees him for who he really is.
They say honesty is the best policy, but sometimes the truth hurts. Will Kelsey give Mitch the chance to explain why he kept his real identity from her, or will she shut him out forever?

A Suave Billionaire’s Secret Life
By: Kristen Iten
Wow, I was grabbed at the start and did not want to put it down. Love the story and the characters, both was well written and realistic. I fell in love with the two main character. Kelsey, a school teacher, and Mitch , a billionaire who has a secret life. This is a sweet story that will have you trying to read faster to see what is going to happen next. There was a few times i caught myself holding my breath. Kelsey does not want to have anything to do with rich men. Mitch is hiding a secret. There is attraction between these two right away, but could there ever be is a chance for them?
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, but was not told that I had to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

This was an amazing book that pulled me in from the beginning and wouldn't let go. I loved that Kelsey had a plan and was sticking to that plan. She had a heart of gold and was full of compassion for kids and their education. Her dedication to her kids was shown in the opening scene of the book, where she is attacked. Mitch just happened by when he stepped in to save Kelsey from her attacker. So began an unlikely friendship. I loved the chemistry between the couple. Their stories were so different from each other, yet they had similarities that were shown throughout the book. I enjoyed watching their relationships ups and downs.

This was a great little story that pulled me into the story in the first chapter and kept me reading through the last chapter. A very compelling story about Kelsey, a 3rd grade teacher, and Mitch, a fighter and (incidentally) a billionaire. Their initial meeting is one that everyone hopes will never happen to them. From there this cute couple face some very challenging and extraordinary situations! A good book with a clean and sweet romance. A very quick and relatively easy reading.

When Kelsey got saved when she was on her way home she didn’t expect Mitch to be just more than what he seems. But he is a fighter with a second identity or a billionaire with a second identity. Kelsey likes him but is not looking for a relationship because she’s leaving to teach in Africa. When she discovers his secret identity she’s not happy, she’s been gone to too much hurt already.
Can Mitch prove that he’s different and trustworthy?
I didn’t like to read the fight part but liked the story anyway. I love this autho’s historical stories more but I’m still looking forward to read her next billionaire story.

This is the first book I’ve read / listened to by Kristen. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. I am not a huge fan of billionaire books as there are so many out now but this book captured my interest pretty quickly and held my attention. While Kelsey had preconceived notions of how rich men acted based on previous experiences she eventually came around. Her attitude bothered me a bit since she was being portrayed as a fairly selfless person. She was pretty judgmental and quick to assume the worst in men. Mitch was far from perfect but he was a romantic at heart and a gentleman. He had lost his way for a time but figured out who he really was and he ho he wanted to be.

A Suave Billionaire's Secret Life by Kristen Iten is a story that captures your interest. Mitch meets Kelsey when he saves her from a mugging. Mitch is a RFC fighter and has kept the fact that he is a billionaire a secret. Kelsey's past experience with a RFC fighter and people with money influences the interaction with Mitch. This story keeps your interest. Kristen Iten makes her characters believable and developed them and the story with details. I look forward to reading the rest of the series,

When Kelsey is saved from a mugging by a handsome stranger her life will take a direction she doesn't expect. Mitch is her superhero who saves her. She knows she will be leaving for Africa soon but she goes on a few friendly dates with him. But he is everything she abhors. Her prejudices and his secrets will teach them both that love is the most important thing. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.

This is a different way 2 people come together. Her ex boyfriend was a rich RFC fighter & she gets rescued by a billionaire RFC fighter one night. She doesn't trust wealthy men now but he is very attracted to her. Can he win her over? Read the story to find the answer. This was a fast read for me & I liked the plot. I received a free ebook from the author. I am giving my voluntary opinion & review.

I liked the main characters. I was glad we met Mitch after he became disillusioned with how he was wasting his life. I loved Kelsey's giving nature--teaching school in Kenya. The plot was interesting and moved at a good pace. There's a unique HEA. I have a personal dislike of conspicuous consumption, so there were tiny parts of the book that I didn't care for. I received an ARC. I chose to write a review and share my opinion.

I've never read a billionare romance before and it's really not my genre. I've read this author before so I tried it. I thought she did great. I think she wrote a story with a good arc of the h & H realationship. I liked both main characters and they were wriiten as real people. It had good supporting characters and a possibilty to write more books as a series.(There was a mention how he and his college friends made their fortune) I would read them too.

I am very pleased to have discovered this clean romance by Kristen Iten. I now have one more competent author to add to my list of preferred authors. I had hardly begun reading when I became completely involved in the story to the point that I had a hard time putting my iPad down until the final line of the epilog. Mitch was an ideal billionaire hero while Kelsey was his perfect match. I heartily recommend this novella to all those who enjoy clean romance. Five-Stars!

The story of Kelsey and Mitch was a fun read. My only complaint is that I have issues with people who have something happen and run off without hearing the other side of the story.
I do love that Kelsey is able to overcome her prejudice against rich people, though she falters a few times with her new resolve.

Kristen Iten starts this book with an adrenaline rush and thankfully allows the tension to relax a bit. This is a fun story with Mitch trying to overcome Kelsey’s aversion to rich men. What could a school teacher have in common with a billionaire? A lot happens between the first dark alley and a night on roof of Mitch’s hotel. I enjoyed this story.

Mitch’s Machine
As in any relationship their always seems to be trouble. Funny just how scary that trouble can be to a person over billions of dollars and how they can get to shook up by it. The nicest part in this book is how many great and humbling things that the money does and how the charachters learn to love each other as they develop.

I was pulled in from the start, when Kelsey is attacked after doing a good deed and Mitch is in the right spot to defend her. I loved the characters and the story was well written. I can see how Kelsey could not trust rich people after 2 people in her life let her down, but was glad she finally got over it after jumping to wrong conclusions several times.

Billionaire books are all the rage at present and, as I've known a few billionaires in my personal life, I thought I'd give this story a whirl as my introduction to this 'theme'. The sentiments expressed by Mitch and Kelsey about the extremes of wealth and poverty resonated with me, and I liked the book's presentation as a 'clean romance', but I found the story a bit too sugary.

Outstanding
This is such a sweet romance! A teacher meets a boxer and instantly feels an attraction but when she finds out there is more to him it takes convincing that he really is the one.

Great story line
I loved the characters and the story line was great. I especially enjoyed how the story was focused on the romance and relationship development. The characters were allowed to develop organically which made the story better.

Great fun book
Mitch and Kelsey are a great couple. I love to read about tough, strong, gentle, and romantic men. I was happy that Kelsey was able to overcome her fears and help Mitch keep his demons away. Great, fun story!

This is a nice story. It is sweet and clean. It’s a little syrupy sweet, but for lovers of gushy romance, this is the book for you.

Hard to get through
I wanted to give up on this book a few times. I wish I'd gone with my first instinct instead of struggling to get through it. The heroine was not a likable character. I have it two stars because the hero was okay, but just okay.
