Deal with the Billionaire
A fake fiancé is supposed to stay that way: fake.
When twenty-seven-year-old heir to a multi-billion fortune, Preston Davis, endures the agony of catching his fiancée in bed with another man just hours before their wedding, his world comes crashing down around him.
To add insult to some very serious injury, Preston’s only stipulation for collecting his fortune was to stay married for a year.
Smart as she is sexy, Chole Smith reaches out to the handsome billionaire to offer her sympathy and support.
What she did not expect, however, was for him to make him a deal that she’s unable to resist.
Fueled by big projects of opening her own medical private practice, Chole finally agrees to a marriage of convenience with Preston in exchange for one million dollars.
In spite of everything, they gravitate towards each other, embarking on an unexpected whirlwind romance.
But as his ex-fiancée unexpectedly resurfaces with a few schemes up her sleeve, will their love be enough to face the sudden turmoil that grips their relationship?
***This is a standalone novel with a touch of steam and HEA.***

Nice and Sweet
Preston was so excited. He was getting married and after a year of marriage he would be able to get his trust fund. Hold on wait a minute, the woman that he just married is not who she claimed to be. Chloe an over worked doctor is looking at some tabloid news when she come across the scandal involving her high sweetheart Preston. Sending him a message on social media they reconnect. Loved this story, no jumping in bed as soon as they reconnected. Preston was so naive. Car getting stolen, not knowing how to shop for a reasonable car, putting dish soap in the dishwasher so funny. Kudos to the author👏👏👏

Good
This book was good enough. Preston and Chloe were good together. The premise of this story was different than any other I've read.
The chemistry wasn't fake, but it wasn't dynamic either. It was more like a friend to lovers situation.

Not What I Expected...... But In A Good Way
After reading so many "cheesy" billionaire romance stories, one can get bored. After a while they all seem formulaic and disingenuous. That was not the case with this book. Preston was forced to grow up mentally and emotionally. What I loved most about this book, is the lesson for both father and son. It has made me take an introspective look at myself and my own children. It makes me wonder, what am I teaching them to value? I love how everything came together in the end. Also, it would be remiss to not mention that Chloe and Preston had history. It was so refreshing, as opposed to seeing a couple that just met and they're instantly in love. Great job with this one.

Missed opportunity
The book started well. High school sweethearts reconnecting after a traumatic event. Unfortunately it turned into a cliché. First off who would believe that Alton, an older billionaire wouldn’t have had a background check done on Susanne before his only child decided to marry her? Even if Preston was infatuated, I can’t believe that Alton would suffer the same affliction. After he “sorted out” the Susanne situation in a mature manner the author turned Preston into a buffoon and it was really annoying. Suddenly we are meant to believe that an investment specialist can’t work out a budget for himself and needs to be saved by someone who knows the “struggle “ of living on 150k a year? What made matters worse is the sense of entitlement that both Preston (bad, but he was born wealthy and entitled) and Chloe had over Alton’s money. How unfair of Alton not to want to fork over billions to someone who was just blindsided by grifters and thought they did well to expose a situation they found out by accident and not design. Ridiculous. However you want to slice it Chloe was behaving like a gold digger, bargaining for more for her help. What really irked me is her getting on her high horse because Alton was opposed to them eloping. I don’t remember her putting her own parents in their place when they had a go at Preston, called him a fool and questioned their relationship. The hypocrisy was astounding. Basically, coming from humble beginnings was laudable but being wealthy was somehow bad. The whole we don’t need your money because we can budget after they tried to scam Alton was a bit on the nose. The ending was also unrealistic to me. Whatever love they have for each other now, it is silly of Alton to give his fortune to both of them. They should have a prenup or the money should be held in trust for their children if they don’t want money to be an issue in their marriage.

Lessens learned
Preston and Chloe were high school sweethearts who drifted apart during college because of Preston decision to go buck wild and party and blow away his money.
Ten years later Preston finds himself walking into his hotel suite on his wedding day to see and hear his wife of a couple of hours messing around with the man he thought was her father but later learned they were grifters out to steal his family money. After exposing them at his reception Preston goes into hiding to lick his wounds. Two months after his scam of a wedding Chloe reaches out to him as a friend because of their long history together.
At the end Preston and Chloe ends up back together and living a happy life.

Sweet HEA w/ no cliffhanger
I didn't like Alton. By the way he was acting you would think his salary was less than minimum wage. He came across as spoiled to me. Alton made the right decision withholding his money from him. This is a normal sweet, predictable, HEA books, if that's the type of book you're looking for, you'll love this book. I would give this book 3.5 stars. I would read another book by this author.

Earned Love 💕
High school sweethearts, Chloe Smith and Preston met in Prep school. He defended her and eased the pain of her being so wise! Years later they reunite after news of his uncovering a couple who gritted rich men. Their love 💕 ignited from the ashes of college and lessons learned that satisfaction came not in having billions handed to you, but by earning a living step-by-glorious step!🦋

Loved it!
Read 9/24/2020 rated 4 out of 5 stars. Loved it! I could really feel the love they had for each other. And i really loved the happily ever after. 5 billion dollars!! Needs minor editing which is why i didnt give it 5 stars. . . "She looked at Alton across the table even though he had already deiven away" . . . Is one example.

Lost luv
I think the luv of a good woman made Preston grow up and not depend on his father's money it made Preston live on a budget. In the end he and Chloe got the surprise of their lives

There was too much obsession with money in this. For someone who makes good money Chloe feels a bit sorry for herself financially.
Preston supposedly has reformed his spendthrift days but then blows a heap of money after finding out the truth about his fiancé.
A good beta reader should have picked up on the plethora of typos, use sweet instead of suite, but then use suite correctly later hmmm.
It didn't make sense when Preston's dad was ignorant of Chloes career, he seemed to know her well but didn't know she's a doctor.
I was pretty underwhelmed by this, it didn't have that much story to it.

Enjoyed reading this book.
Character development was good, time line a little rushed in places. I found Chloe to be a very good match for Preston and visa versa. I drilled think you now your head yes and shake it no. Good read though.

Scared of losing
Had to grow up, to appreciate what I could have. Plus it took a good level headed woman to make me see it.
I really enjoyed this book. Need to have a sequel to learn about the baby and what they did with the business.

Preston and Nita
It's nice to read a novel where two people act like adults. Preston was reckless when he was in college. But, this story was about him maturing. Nita had a level head. It was good to read about a character that wasn't consumed with her looks.

Had a hard time getting into the book
This book was okay but the characters were not developed well and they had no passion or fire. The book was bland and in some cases unrealistic. I skipped some chapters hoping it would get better.

Love of a Good Woman
I loved both of the main characters and how they picked up their friendship after so many years. Sometimes the first love is actually your true love.

Aww
That was a cute story. I'm glad Preston grew into a better version of himself. And I'm happy that the leading lady was an intelligent and rational
