Be careful what you put in motion for the heart to align with!
Thomas Hoffman II' life was saved many year past by a very loving and caring woman who was a single parent to a precocious little girl bullied because she did not fit society's flawed standard of beauty. The elder Mr. Hoffman and the elder Ms. Nichols remained friends as a result of her saving his life. When she was on her death bed she asked the elder Thomas Hoffman II to look out for her child. The father was the epitome of a kind, generous and caring individual who paid the young Ms Nichols's college tuition, gave her a job in his company and upon hearing her blurt out one day her feelings for young Mr. Hoffman the Third, made a codicil to his Will! When the elder Mr. Hoffman passed away and his Will was read, all parties got an opportunity to see just what he had set in motion. Things were Rocky for a time due to anger all around but because the young Mr. Hoffman's mother and sister loved him so much, when they saw the young Ms. Nichols now Mrs. Hoffman was good for him, they all calmed down and forged a real family between them. I like the depth of Donna Nichols Hoffman III and I like how she and Thomas Hoffman III worked so well as a couple. I cannot say it enough, each of these Members from Money stories gets better and better! By the way, you know it was some drama from the woman who felt she should have been Mrs. Hoffman the Third however I am sure she won't do again what she did to Donna that caused her to get handled by Donna!! A lot of things happened in this story and darlings you are just going to have to read it for yourself to get all of the different meat of this story!!!! Another best seller Katie, bank on it!

This book was well written. Putting these 2 characters together was a good match. Thomas II knew exactly what he was doing when he forced this arrangement through his well knowing his son would accept the terms to marry Donna in order to be the CEO of his company after his death. Donna was shocked and wanted nothing to do with him or the entire family because she felt she would never be excepted. Donna was feisty and appeared to be tough. The family was so disrespectful towards her until she said enough. She gave back what they gave her including to Thomas. There were so many funny moments that I forgot what the story was about. She told Thomas what he needed to do with his ass in order to see how he was treating people. The sister was the meanest to her. Please read the office sceen, let's just say I laughed so hard I put the book down and took a break. The story went on and Thomas realized how many important people loved his wife because of her intellect. She would studied what the people they hosted their strongest subjects. When a king, prince and princess offered her a political position in their country, he was shocked. He saw what he wanted in her. Important men in his society admired her beauty regardless of her size, which he had no probably with, his jealousy got out of hand. If you want a serious subject matter but with a lot of laughter, read this book.

Similar but different!
I enjoyed this story for various reasons even though there are similar storylines in other Dowe books. There was still enough difference to make this story interesting. Donna was a beautiful woman and Thomas recognized it without having to exclaim it all the time. He was attracted to her physically but even close to the start, he was drawn by something inside of her. She (Donna) knew what she wanted and went after it without comprising her dignity. She had a strong sense of who she was. They both did. And love blossomed from there. I thoroughly enjoyed Thomas' and Donna's story and would recommend the book.

Very Enjoyable
Really enjoyed Thomas and Donna's story. Not that crazy about the title. Plus Size, Marriage of Convenience. I would not consider a size 16 Plus Size. Loved that Donna didn't take any stuff off of Thomas and his family. Thomas couldn't become CEO of his family company unless he married Donna according to his late father's will. Thomas figure the marriage would be name only but we know that never happens. Once they had sex they couldn't keep there hands off of each other.

Good Read!!
I have not read a book by Katie in a long time but I just finished the three in this series and They were very good. I have to say that I will start back reading her books. I forgot how good they are. I loved the back and forward between Thomas and Donna. I love how Donna did not back down from anything. She was a great match for the family. I also thought that is was great how you say the changes that took over Thomas as the story continued to grow.

Another great romance novel Katie Dowe!!!!! This book contains drama, hope, dreams, betrayal, deception, intrigue, heartbreak, determination, and finding true love when he least expected. I truly adored the Donna character. She is every woman's ideal strong, independent, confident,and caring idol... I will be recommending this series to everyone I ! especially these three books!!!!!!

Classy Chemistry
Sigh. These Katie Dowe books are my go to for elegant, angsty adult BWWM romance. No smutty profanity, just earthy, swoony scenarios that are mostly fairy tale. And, I like how the stories extend beyond the marriage proposal/beyond childbirth and sweep the curtain aside to reveal how the protagonists navigate married life. Exquisite escapism!

Thomas has to marry to inherit the company left to him by his recently deceased father. He also has to marry Donna someone he really does not know. There are several people not happy about this situation and voice it. But Donna is fierce and can handle herself. I enjoyed reading of this couple's interactions and getting to know each other. I loved the storyline and flow of the book.

Loved it!
This storyline had me from the beginning! I really enjoyed Donna's boldness and wit and the fact that she had no filter whatsoever! That helped with the development of the storyline and I believe it was her bold and brass nature that caused Gray to fall in love. Totally enjoyable!

What Would You Do For Love?
Okay, so I read the book through because I wanted to see what Donna would do next! Talk about going from the frying pan and straight into the skillet, whew the girl couldn’t breathe long. But, love doth the heart well! Did Caroline really love Thomas or the idea of being his wife, or status? I’m still not sure.

Yes!!!
I truly enjoyed this novel. I think so far Thomas and Edward are my top billionaire romance novels. I love the female lead. She was strong and opinionated. I like how she did not let Thomas and his family walk all over her. She was out to make her husband love her without sacrificing her pride.

Wow
I enjoyed reading this book! This was practically an arranged marriage. Worked out in the end, but I had my doubts. Donna knew what she wanted and took the only chance she had and went for it! I know that everyone who reads this book will enjoy it! I definitely did. I recommend this book/series!

Wow!!! So Good
This love story kept me on my toes. So many twists and turns in this book. How are they going put on this show for a year? What was his father thinking? Could he fall in love with her? What if they did? What about the other woman? and on and on. It was so intriguing how things would turn out. Must Read!!!

Ok...
Not too enthused about this couple. Donna and Thomas were just too improbable. And I didn't like that she had been mooning over him for so long prior. I don't like if these stories over focus on race issues but when they are written in ways that completely ignore it, well that's just too far fetched also. Ok...NEXT!!

Great Story...
I loved Donna’s heart and character, I only wished that Thomas and his family did not mistreat her for the decision that he made and the awkward place that he put her in.

The Tigeress with a Bomb
I loved Thomas and Donna,they are unique together.
But Donna is a warrior she believes in what age knows.
His father knew exactly why he wrote his will that way.
She's a plus size but she wears it Damon well.
Needs more books like this.

I enjoyed the book. I enjoyed both Thomas and Donna. I wasn’t sure how the book would go, but that kept me reading. The only issue I had was the grammatical errors. The author needed to have this proofread better.

omg totally one of my favorites
This book is about love developing even when it’s one sided. It expresses the importance of family. And also illustrate what it means to give and give generously. And of course there’s a lot of passion and romance that is happening all at once.

Thomas and Donna’s story is one you don’t want to miss. From an arranged marriage to love that will have you reading the entire book. As usual Katie has done it again, enjoy.

Probably one of my favorite in the series. I felt like a little more effort was put into the character development compared to past stories. Sn: His family are asses.

I really enjoyed this book. Nothing I love more than a strong confident woman who is not afraid to stand up for herself. There was no way he couldn’t love her.
