The Billionaire's Bedside Manner

by Robyn Grady Heidi Betts

An unexpected visitor was not something billionaire Mateo Celeca wanted to deal with on his vacation. Especially one as beautiful and mysterious as Bailey Ross. She claimed his grandmother had sent her, so he offered her a place to stay. But there was no way he was leaving his "guest" alone at his mansion. If Bailey needed a refuge, she'd come with him…to Paris.

When I first started reading this I was expecting to not like it that much as I'd not long ago finished a different Mills&Boon book and hated it, finding it filled with way too much innuendo and what you could call pornographic content. However I was pleasantly surprised to find that I rather enjoyed this one. Everyone knows that Mills&Boon isn't exactly classic English literature and that they're intended as easy reads but I found this book to be better than what I expected. It was just the right amount of romance without being overly, what I'd call, mushy or gushy, and just the right amount of more intimate higher temperature content. A lot of the time authors can so easily go over the top with this genre but Robyn managed to see the line and not cross it into what I'd call trash fiction. I don't normally say this about books written of this genre but this one was well written, more believable than most, and actually enjoyable to read. I wouldn't say no to reading other titles by Robyn Grady after reading this one.

I just didn't care for this story. I stopped reading it about 3/4 of the way through. Picked it out because of the French theme, but I found the story terribly boring. There was very little emotional tension between the two characters. I couldn't sense it either through the sexual attraction or emotional conflict. The only tension that I sensed was in regard to each of their parents--not towards each other.
Also, Mateo is an obstetrician--not exactly what I was would classify as a "billionaire." OBs don't make THAT much money. So the title is definitely mislabeled. It would have better to title it "The Doctor's Bedside Manner."

I've read this book in portuguese ("Paixão em Paris"). It's a funny love story, but with a little imagination. The book talks a little bit of Paris, but it is restricted to the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysées.
