Maverick Mogul
Playboy bachelor Charlie Fox is handsome, charming — and looking for a date to the TWELVE weddings he’s attending this month. He’s topping the city’s ‘Most Eligible’ lists, but he needs a woman who won’t swoon at his feet — or go diving to catch that bouquet. A fake girlfriend is the perfect solution, he’s just not expecting a very familiar face to show up as his plus-one…
Me.
The last time I saw Charlie, he was playing Mr Popular at our high-school… while I was stuck being Miss Invisible. Now — thanks to a rogue Chihuahua, my frat-bro boss, and a gallon of gluten-free frosting — he’s making me an offer I really should refuse. Play his fake girlfriend for a summer of wild weddings?
It’ll be worth it, as long as we can keep our hands to ourselves.
And our mouths.
And… other parts, too.
As the wedding marathon gets underway, the sparks between us are anything but fake - and breaking the rules has never been so fun. Can ‘just for now’ turn into ‘forever’? Find out in the sizzling, hilarious new romance from “the reigning queen of romantic comedy” Lila Monroe!

Lila Monroe is back and she hasn't lost her talent to write incredibly good rom coms.
Maverick Mogul follow a commitment phobe,Charlie Fox, and a scorned woman, Grace Sommerville, during a month of fake dating.
Charlie was invited to a lot of weddings, he doesn't want to go with women who could become clingy so he asks Olivia's agency to find him the perfect fake date. Grace is an amazing PA but when she loses her job her self confidence falters and she sees the chance to accompany Charlie to the weddings as a nice rebound before to start to looking for a new job.
I've really enjoyed this story, I've read it in one sit.
I loved how Charlie helps Grace to believe more in herself, to be confident and to go for what she wants. Their relationship is hot, sweet and it was a pleasure to see them grow attached to each other so easily.
I definitely recommend this story if you want to smile for some hours.

It feels like it’s been forever since we’ve had a new rom com from Monroe… and I gobbled this one up in a couple of hours. Which, honestly, is how I’ve consumed most of her books. They’re like rom com movies come to life - reliably super low angst, playful, bingeable, steamy, and full of lighthearted CHARM. Not the most deep or complicated books out there, but they certainly satisfy my light and sexy craving. This one kicks off a brand new spinoff series that’s the perfect jumping in point for new readers, but all kinds of nostalgic for longtime fans. I loved the fun and easy vibes, the chemistry between the characters, and getting to know this brand new group of friends. It's got me excited for more from the series, and I had no trouble devouring this in one sitting.
The story follows Grace, a personal assistant who is used to taking less than she deserves. When Grace runs into an old high school classmate - who always had effortless charisma and charm - it throws her life off-balance. Not only did Charlie accidentally get Grace fired from her job, but he's also a handsome and sexy playboy who wants her to accompany him to a dozen weddings over the next few months. He doesn't want strings or commitments or even a fling, just a platonic date to keep people from hounding him about his love life. But as the two spend time together, they realize that they never really knew each other at all - and giving in to the sparks that fly between them might lead to more.
I love diving into one of Monroe's rom coms whenever I'm in the mood for something incredibly low angst and entirely bingeable - and this was definitely that. It absolutely flew by, and I had fun reading the whole time. Sure, it keeps things pretty surface level and doesn't delve too deep, but that was just what I was in the mood for after several long, complex reads in a row. The story plays up some of the tropes, while maintaining a playful and easy feel - Grace and Charlie definitely had chemistry, and I loved them together. Charlie was actually kinda adorable and sweet, even though I wanted to shake him sometimes. I'm intrigued by some of the other characters and I can't wait for more from the series. We got a few teases, and I'm ready to get reading. I received an early copy and am voluntarily leaving a review of this steamy and sweet romance.

I absolutely adore the romantic comedies that Lila brings to the table. They are funny, sexy, easy to read, the characters have wonderful banter, and they have such a sexy sizzle. This is the tale of Charlie Fox and Grace Sommerville.
Charlie is a business mogul that has found himself in quite a predicament. He has 12 weddings this season and needs a no strings date on his arm to keep the exes at bay. He turns to his cousin Olivia who has a knack for finding the right gal for the job.
Enter Grace Sommerville. She has been burned by her ex and her best friend, yes together. Now she needs a job to pay the bills so when she is offered a wedding escort position, what could go wrong?
Join them while they make their way through more themed weddings than you can shake a stick at and watch as they dance around one another while the sexual tension continues to radiate off of them.
This was such a fun adventure with Grace and Charlie!

I downloaded this during the ‘Stuff Your Kindle/Apple Books’ event, not really having any expectations. But this was such a cute little Rom Com. Will be checking on the next book in the series!
February 1, 2022
Grace is a very patient and efficient personal assistant. She is resourceful, shows initiative and strives to meet her client expectations. When her clients’ son asks the almost impossible of her, she gets it done with minutes to spare. Unfortunately a bit of a mishap occurs and she finds herself out of a job - talk about a tough day at the office!.
With bills to pay and a reputation to uphold she agrees to be a companion to a wealthy businessman as his date for 12 upcoming weddings on his calendar. He needs someone on his arm who can hold a conversation and will provide a buffer from any other female interest. This job is paying very well but when she realises her childhood crush is the man she would be working for she is seriously reconsidering whether she really needs the job.
Who is Grace kidding, of course she needs the job and if being in close proximity to Charlie Fox is going to be the only problem she has, she should be fine right? Once Charlie realises that he knows Grace it opens the door to rekindling a friendship with her. In fact, they have a lot of fun together - especially once they have a safeword in place, it’s not what it sounds like though!
Grace is completely charmed by Charlie, he is just as gorgeous now as he was back then and when he gives her that sexy grin she is powerless to anything else. However, she is also a professional and wants to do a good job too. When they start hanging out more on the days she isn’t required to accompany him to weddings, they both realise just how truly compatible they are. However, Charlie is adamant that anything that begins to feel like a relationship or commitment is not for him.
The lines do eventually blur and Grace struggles so hard not to fall for Charlie but it may be too late. Will this commitment phobe man realise that the girl of his dreams is worth taking the risk for?
This is a light and fun rom-com from an author that always manages to deliver engaging, romantic stories.

Oh my heart, no one does romantic comedy quite like Lila Monroe! Her characters are down-to-earth with fatal flaws that somehow make them even more endearing. She then gives us a laugh-out-loud hilarious story full of tender heart and deep emotion, and every story is irresistible.
Olivia, our shero from Wild Card, makes an appearance to work a little matchmaking magic for her cousin, Charlie Fox. Charlie has twelve weddings to attend in the next month and he needs a date. A date who understands it's for show only and there's absolutely no chance for any kind of romantic relationship with Charlie. Zero. Zip. Nada. He simply does not do them. He has his reasons, you see.
Grace Summerville knew Charlie back in their small home town. She may have tutored him in high school, but that's where their association ends, and their lives have gone down two very different paths.
Charlie is a successful businessman and owns one of the hottest night clubs in the city, along with his buddies from college. And Olivia, well, she’s picking up the pieces of what once was her life, having been fired from her latest job and trying to avoid her ex who's now engaged to her ex-best friend. Posing as Charlie’s date looks like it's a good idea for her bank account, at least.
I don’t remember the last time I had this much fun in a romcom world. The creative weddings and venues alone make it worth the read. I laughed my way through the pages, careful about eating or drinking in order to keep my record of receiving zero Heimlich maneuvers intact. While I gobbled this up in one sitting, my emotions felt like a pinball in a spirited game, running the full gamut and back multiple times.
Because as much humor as this book contains, there's also a surprising amount of heart that manipulated my own in the most delicious ways. Between the comedic and romantic components, and then catching up with some favorite characters like Poppy and Dylan's, this one is the whole package. Run post haste, click the buy button, and start reading this humorous, heartfelt, out-of-this-world amazing read today!

5 star Review Maverick Mogul by Lila Monroe
Charlie Fox is in desperate need of a date to attend not one, but twelve weddings, but the last thing he wants or needs is a woman who will fall for him and so he wants a fake girlfriend.
Turning to his cousin Olivia (who we have met previously in Wild Card) for help he is shocked when she puts him in contact with Grace. When Grace Summerville is offered the job she decides to accept, after all she has recently been betrayed by her ex and her ex best friend and is in need of a job.
After all what could go wrong, with Charlie and Grace helping each other out? Nothing or so they think? What will happen when feelings become involved and attraction becomes impossible to resist? Neither Charlie or Grace have any intention of becoming involved for real., it’s all for show. However we all know that the best laid plans can easily be derailed and that is when the fun really begins.
Maverick Mogul is a great example of romantic comedy, It is full of witty banter, heat and romance. Charlie is most assuredly a swoon worthy, hot alpha male determined to get what he wants. I loved this book from start to finish; it was a fabulous read, full of great moments that really brought a smile to my face and one that I really didn’t want to put down.

Review
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Maverick Mogul by Lila Monroe is a fake dating contemporary romance novel about a very hot billionaire, and a sweet but sometimes a mess ,personal assistant.
One of my favourite things about this book was the author's ability to turn very embarrassing and usually sad moments into something funny and let me tell you i was laughing my ass off since page 1!!
Both the main Charlie and Grace were lovable characters and their chemistry together was INSANE.
I really liked how Charlie was always thinking about her and just wanted to be near Grace at all time, so much so that he changed his schedule, asked her to come with him every damn day!!
I also loved how it wasn't just Charlie doing all the work , Grace was also equally enamored with him and thought about him.(Mutual obsession is my favourite trope if you couldn't tell lol)
Charlie was really an idiot in the end and I'm glad Grace just didn't take him back instantly!! She let him grovel a lot!! (Groveling hero trope is also one of my favs)
I liked the writing, the pacing of the story and I genuinely didn't expect to like this book as much as I did!
I highly recommend this book<3

Charlie Fox needs a date for an incredible amount of summer weddings, but at the same time, he doesn't want the commitment that goes with THAT many predetermined dates. Enter Grace Sommerville... charming, resourceful... and newly unemployed... Grace is just the woman for the job... as long as she promises to absolutely NOT fall in love...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Maverick Mogul was an adorable and incredibly fun, fake relationship, romance read! Grace and Charlie have known each other since high school... he was the golden boy, and she was invisible... and not much has changed in the years since. And while the simple business arrangement between them should be just about the least sexy setting ever... weddings have a way of bringing out the romance... whether you want it or not...
This book was a fantastically entertaining read! Charlie and Grace's twelve wedding dates were just the right amount of glitzy, fun, cute, and oh-so sexy! I adored the dynamic between these two vastly different, yet perfect-for-each-other, characters. Grace was a personal assistant who has had the worst luck with work, love, and life in general. Charlie is a bachelor who is afraid of commitment and everything that comes along with opening your life up to someone. Together they not only heat up the pages of this book, but they will warm your heart right up with it!
This book is a part of the fabulous Billionaire Bachelors Club series, where each and every couple you meet will hold you hostage with their own engrossing stories, and leave you with a smile on your face... and probably some blushes as well!
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review

4.5 SMOOCHES!
I’ve read nearly everything Lila Monroe has written to date, and there hasn’t been a single one of her romantic comedies that I haven’t enjoyed. Maverick Mogul is the first book in her new Billionaire Bachelors Club series, and it’s off to a hot and hilarious start. Monroe’s writing never fails to pull me into her stories with wit, charming details and fun plots. She fills the pages with imaginative elements and interesting side characters which paint a vibrant picture for the reader. But it’s Lila’s creative plots, endearing couples and their sexy romances that keep me reaching for her work.
Maverick Mogul was a fake date romance featuring commitment-phobe Charlie and newly unemployed Grace. Charlie has a summer full of weddings, and to stave off the inevitable questions about his love life, he needs a date to bring to these weddings without strings or commitments—strictly a business arrangement. Enter his cousin, Olivia who owns a date-for-hire agency and is a crossover character from Wild Card, book three in Monroe’s Billionaire Bachelors series.
Maverick Mogul was a light-hearted, easy reading fake date romcom high on the heat and humor. An amusing plot and a sexy, sweet, swoon-worthy romance about a couple I was pulling for from the start, I smiled the whole way through. Charlie and Grace’s love story was an entertaining, addictive, fun-to-read romance. Maverick Mogul by Lila Monroe gets 4.5 smooches from me!

This was definitely my favorite book from this series so far. Loving this series so much. Lila really has a way to make each book different and fun.

Not a new storyline. The writing, however is super fun and totally represents the type of relationship I've always wanted, so...

Okay, so here’s the tea… I don’t usually do weddings or fake dating (hard pass), but I figured, why not for a change? And honestly, Lila Monroe’s writing is so damn smooth. It flows like you’re flipping through a friend’s diary while sipping wine. Easy, breezy, and totally readable.
The characters? Cute, likeable… but let’s be real, I wanted loveable. You know, the kind you’d eat popcorn to while whispering “he’s hot” under your breath before binge reading some more.
The plot? Sweet little ride with some interesting bits, but also very predictable. Zero jaw dropping moments, zero plot twists that made me clutch my Kindle. If you’re craving a surprise packed rollercoaster… keep scrolling. But if you want a chill, comfy read that doesn’t demand brainpower? You’ll be cozy enough.
Now, let’s talk cringe: “Hell, my ovaries are aching, seeing how good he is with children.” 😬 As a woman, my ovaries have literally never ached that way. And girl, coming from a female author? Big yikes. We can do better.
In short: Maverick Mogul is sweet, fun, and flirty but without that little extra spark. I fear it’ll float away in the endless sea of *meh* romance books. I’ll probably pass on the rest of the series, but if you want a light, flirty read with no surprises and a side of “aww, that’s cute,” this is definitely for you.

Overwhelmingly Mundane.
This book was a flat out bore. The plot, the characters, the dialogue all lacked interest and originality. Charlie’s reason for wanting to stay single was weak and immature. He and his friends behaved like college students away from home for the first time instead of “billionaire” entrepreneurs. The whole “playboy” thing gets old very quickly. There was absolutely zero spark between Charlie and Grace. Not even a hint of smoke. The romance between the two was basically non existent. The entire book needs to be fleshed out. It lacks depth and creativity.

I did really enjoy this book, would have given it 4 stars however knocked it down a star as I felt the mmc's behaviour was skipped over. He had his moment of realisation but it seemed he didn't realise why his actions were wrong and it was brushed over by the fmc and never really addressed. fmc never really communicated why what happened hurt her

Mehhhh.
I kept skimming because I wasn’t interested. It was so stinking boring. Bland characters, bland conflict, ridiculous reason for the hero to push the heroine away. I finished it, but barely.

Please do more research on neurodivergence. As an individual with adhd, autism, depression, anxiety, and living just fine with a job and paying bills and driving a car, I feel landing in a group home for "adhd and the whole gamut" is just lazy writing.
