Billionaires' Brides of Convenience #8
A Final Deal
An emotional standalone romance featuring Blake Pryce-Reed.
One thing I've never lacked in life is money. I was born to it. I've made it hand over fist. I have more than I know what to do with.
But all that money couldn't give me Faith Mortimer, a damaged heiress with secrets of her own. I found her irresistible two years ago, and would've laid my empire at her feet...until she betrayed me.
Now she barges into my office, offering marriage, ostensibly to help me fulfill the conditions of my father's hateful deal. Although I toss her out, I'm curious. Once I realize how desperate she is, I make a counteroffer that leaves her vulnerable and defenseless.
However, I never counted on my own machinations leaving me exposed in return...and both our hearts are going to break before this is over...

This was ok, but all the drama could've been avoided had the MCs just told each the truth and been willing to make themselves vulnerable. In other words, if they were willing to communicate, this could've been a novella. However, I appreciate how Nadia Lee is able to tell a compelling story, without including any OP drama. Nice and safe.

As long as you are writing books and inviting me to live precariously through other's love lives, I am not going to be able to get a good night's sleep. My kids whine for food, hubby wants to snuggle and yet you keep writing and I keep reading. All jokes aside, the writing is easy to read, the stories flow, each character fully formed, the stories are in depth and the length is good for a "long enough to submerge into the plot" kind of book. I have read A LOT of your books and have yet to find one I can't get into or don't enjoy. Thank you

I truly loved this book in the series, Blake and Faith's story, and read it almost straight through.
Blake and Faith have a history: she was his first love, the one that walked away to marry someone else for money. When she re-enters his life with an offer to marry him for $100,000 so that he can collect his portrait he isn't kind. Money again with her.
Faith is desperate for money, but not for herself. She calls herself a fool for even thinking about seeking out Blake. He did his damnedest to humiliate her for her effort. So, when he contacts her to agree to her suggestion, she's floored. But she hasn't any other options. She can stick out this business arrangement for a year, can't she? Never mind that Blake is the only man she's ever loved but who wasn't there for her when she most needed him, or that she has secrets that she doesn't want him to know.
I received this ARC for an honest review.

Can Love Rekindle?
This review is from: A Final Deal (Blake & Faith Standalone) (Billionaires' Brides of Convenience Book 8) (Kindle Edition)
I volunteered to read an Advance Reader Copy of this book and to submit an honest review.
Blake Reed and his siblings are being coerced into getting married to fulfill the stipulation of their Grandfather's will/inheritance to them. Blake has 2 months to find and marry though he looks at the nuptials as a business deal that will conclude in a divorce after one year.
Faith Mortimer and Blake had a relationship starting two years ago which ended when Faith married for money in order to pay her Mom's medical bills - she's currently in a hospice slowly dying from a brain tumor. She is now a widow and in financial straits thanks to her dead husband's family. '
Faith goes to see Blake; she has heard rumors regarding the marriages of the siblings. She offers to be Blake's wife; the money he will give her will help her Mom.
Sparks re-ignite between Blake and Faith;although neither one wants to acknowledge their feelings and be hurt again. I highly recommend reading A Final Deal to follow along with the roller coaster of emotions. This book is a HEA and I admit I cried.

okay
I’m must say that I am disappointed in the portrayal of the female love interest. I hated her I think she was just too vapid and selfish. Her character was disgusting. She was a user, and I hated her. Nowhere in this work do I find any redeeming qualities that she has. She has not educated herself. She has not put herself out there for him. She didn’t fight for him yet he’s falling head over heels or somebody who can’t walk two to feet spit on him if he were on fire. It was such an an even lopsided relationship. She wanted everything, and if he didn’t give it, she was gonna marry whoever to get what she wanted. What did she give in return because she didn’t even give him her love. Hate her. What a bitch.

The Reed Siblings Rock
Okay, I am officially ADDICTED to this family. The Reeds and the Pryces are my new guilty pleasure. Blake and what shaped him have been a mystery until now and I'm so glad that his part in this saga finally got told. Nadia Lee has done a wonderful job of showing all facets of the main family members in these books. I've been reading them non-stop for days and look forward to Elizabeth's story. Is it terrible to say that I am upset that I have to go to work and can't read now? I have lost sleep, because of these stories. Seeing the pride, passion, struggles, and joys has been an amazing ride!

Sweet ending
I love that Blake turned out to be a decent guy, unlike his d-bag cousin Dane...man I don’t like that guy! I definitely think this one was a bit sadder than the other books in the series, but still a fantastic ending. Looking forward to starting Elizabeth’s story next!

Wonderful ending...
This was a really emotional read. Dane and Faith internalized so much of their mutual feelings. So happy neither gave up and they received their HEA. Who blackmailed Julian Reed and what about Elisabeth?

Oh boy oh boy
I can't imagine this ending any other way. Blame and Faith, a love story for the ages. It's like watching two bulls in one cage, who end up realizing they don't have to fight, they have to work together and just communicate.

Oh my stars!!
How could someone as sweet and caring fall for the spoiled hateful person. All thru this book I was telling Faith to run for the hills and get away from Blake. But the love they had finally brought them together. Great work, again!!

I don't like it when Authors go out of their way to establish a female character as bad. She could've left it at the old white dude being unintentionally racist but no. She had to write a redemption arc that absolutely tramples on a perfectly good mother.

Second chances

I liked that this was all in one book. The more I read about these people with money the less terrible behavior suprises me.

The lovely ladies are so sweet and have to deal with the big broody men. They do eventually pull their heads out of their rear ends and have a happily ever after.

Not sure how good this actually was, but it felt like a masterpiece after dealing with Ava for two books.

Thank Goodness, this was not a cliffhanger. One book was able to sufficiently tell the story of Blake and Faith. I appreciated this, as the previous love stories in this series were 2 or 3 books long, often with the same “sex moves” described over and over.
I admit I wasn’t sure I would like the eldest Pryce-Reed sibling, as he hasn’t come across too nice in the other books. Blake isn’t as wild or a womanizer like Ryder and Elliot, though he shares their passion for booze. He certainly doesn’t have Elizabeth’s kind-soul, nor the vulnerability of Lucas. Blake is business-minded and more serious than his younger brothers and sister. At times Blake can be ruthless. That trait comes from his father or maybe from hanging out too often with his closest friend Dane. His cousin, Dane, has a reputation of being cold and callous. Even so, I found Blake more likable than I thought I would. Certainly no saint, as he can be very harsh, especially with his words. He was down-right detestable with Faith the day she visited him at his office.
Faith, like Ava ( Lucas’ wife), kept secrets from Blake. In Faith’s defense, she never promised truthfulness. I didn’t feel the chemistry between Blake and Faith immediately, nor do I think they did either. They were a means to a end for each other- a business deal. Old feelings they shared emerged, and I was all in for a true reunion and a real marriage for this couple.
There are some twists that adds to the enjoyment this book. The readers are introduced to a mysterious Russian, I think will play a part in Elizabeth’s story.
