Book five in The Secret Billionaire Society series a well written story that kept me turning pages, what a story. Gabe Nichols is Smith’s fifth candidate and Lily Jarvis his friend's story. There is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, cons, lies, extortion, and romance. I hope there is more to come in this series.

Lily has been in love with Gabe for years but he only seems to see her as his best friend. Gabe is on assignment but he is confused that he has to go to his office and what his assignment is. Gabe suddenly realised that he had feelings for Lily but things get very complicated when his ex Blair shows up at his office. There are twists and turns along with danger, betrayal, conspiracy and pain. I love this book and series so much and I have read every single one of them. Nancy is an amazing author and talented writer and I definitely recommend you read this book and series and you will not be disappointed.

Scams a part of Blair’s life

How awful it must have been to feel you had to do what was not right in order to get love from your parent. Is this what happened to Blair? So glad the Gabe found his true love on this story.

This story is a very sad one to start with Lily working for Gabe for years. They have known each other since seven grade. She went with a guy for ten years but didn't love him as her mate so he moved to a different state for a better job. Gabe has a broke heart from high school girl who comes to town for help and money. Blair thinks he still loves her so he'll do anything for her. Lily knows Blair's using him and she don't like her trying to use Gabe. Gabe realize he's in love with Lily not Blair. But Blair tells him that she had his child, a son and needs 5 million so they can get away from her husband. It's a con to get more money. Her dad, husband and her are all in on the con. This has a lot of action and danger and love. Great read😯😯😕😕😊😊😀😀

Gabe: Book 5 in the series is well written, keeps the reader captivated in the story. You have suspense, drama, lies, twists and turns that keep you turning the pages. And we can't forget romance between Gabe and Lily.

This is the fifth book in the series The Secret Billionaire Society. There's six friends in the society and they each are given a mission by a man named Smith and if one of them fail they all lose their money. It's Gabe's turn and he's having a hard time figuring what his mission is. I really enjoyed this book.

This is the 5th book in the series but I read this one first as they can be read as stand alone books. I was unsure about the plot at first but the more I read, the more I liked it. I liked the mixture of romance and mystery. After finishing this book, I went back and started with book 1 to hopefully read about the rest of Gabe's friends.

Good Story

I do not know why everyone is mad at Mr. Smith. He has helped all the billionaires. This book is about billionaire Gabe. He is a down to Earth guy, A little humble, A little insecure, and very gullible. Thankfully, his personal assistant, Lily, has his back. One more billionaire to go, then I can read about Mr. Smith!

A great story line! Blaire was quite the character. My favorite part was Gabe realizing his best friend (including pig tails) from elementary school was his true love! 5 Stars!
