The Sunshine State Billionaires #2
Faking It with the Bossy Billionaire
I'm sleeping with my grumpy billionaire boss, who happens to be my brother’s ex-best friend.
Arriving late to my interview and mistaking the hotel owner for an employee wasn't how I planned to make my first impression.
But Matthew Parker's the most handsome man I had ever laid my eyes on—a tower of allure—pure muscle and charisma even though he is 15 years older than me.
He is determined to put me in my place, not only because of my smart mouth but because of what my brother did to him.
We ended up hooking up on top of the piano. Then, agreed to a fake relationship so he could impress his family.
But, our feelings for each other grew, complicating our no-strings-attached agreement.
I’m willing to let bygones be bygones. But is he?
I’m caught in a game of love and hate, and I’m up against a pro.
But I play to win and refuse to have my heart shattered into a million pieces.

Possibilities
It started off strong but dragged and seemed repetitive as it went on. The plot and characters had potential but seemed flat. A huge issue was the spelling and grammatical errors. They were confusing. No excuse for that. Author needed a good editor and some proofreading.

Good story, but
I liked the story and the characters, but throughout the book, this grown woman referred to her parents as "mommy" and "daddy". It may not bother others but they were mentioned so often that it detracted from the story for me. There were several other grammatical errors that affected the flow of the book for me.

Heroine is 20 minutes late for 8am interview. Gets on bus at 7:55 and it takes hours to arrive at destination. So she traveled back in time? If it took hours then how was she only 20 minutes late? I'm only on chapter 2 ffs.
“Maybe I am. Thanks to Ryan St. James.”
“Geez. What did that man ever do to you?”
MMC best friend since high school asks of the man who embezzled millions of dollars from him.......... SMFH
This author has good plot ideas but she's in serious need of an editor and proofreaders. She must be one of those authors that self publishes without help. Find a friend to help

Revenge to Love
When Matthew finds out that his former best friend's sister is at his company for an interview, he hires her to enact revenge. However, Reagan is more than he bargained for, especially after being together in a fake relationship. This story had many complexities that drove a fine line between love and revenge which left these characters with a strength to accept the challenges to their ever-growing feelings for each other.

A good story with a few parts missing
Although a good story, the author dropped the ball as far as the MMC parents were concerned. That left a big hole in the story after all the information about the importance of the MMC's access to the Boston hotels. Instead the parents appeared in the story twice and were never mentioned again as compared to the plot space wasted on the MFC's father. A bit of an oversight that left me feeling that the book wasn't finished when I came to the end of the story.

This book was a riot of laughs. The MFC gets bullied alot and it is sad that she has to go through so much just to be able to stand on her on two feet. The MMC is on a path of revenge and she is in his sights as a way to get back. But all in all you can't beat fate and fate has alot in store for these two.
This book has an enjoyable story and it was a beautiful read full of sweet emotion. I loved it and really enjoyed the characters.

loved this book
This is a good book to read. A girl striking out on her own and a man who needed her but didn’t know he did. The ending was the very best outcome.
