Aaliyah and the Billionaire's Lamp

Once Upon a Billionaire #6

by Catelyn Meadows

Her father's wish is her command...

Aaliyah's marriage has been arranged.

When her billionaire fiance heads out of town on business, she's left to plan their wedding with his assistant, River, instead.

Soon, Aaliyah's feelings take a nose-dive.

She barely knows her fiance.

But with all this time in his company, she's getting to know River.

In fact, she's crashing for him. Hard.

Aaliyah has always done what's expected of her, but it might be time to make some wishes of her own.

Wishes for a future with River instead of his boss.

If only her father wasn't so controlling.

If only wishes came true.

You'll love this Aladdin retelling because everyone is intrigued by the forbidden. Especially when it's romance.

Get it now.

Each fairy tale romance is clean and sweet; and while they are standalones and can be read individually, in any order, they also connect with the other books in the series.

Aaliyah and the Billionaire's Lamp is a clever take on the Aladdin story, with the "lamp" being his good luck charm in his pocket. Aaliyah, the "Jasmine" in the story is the daughter of a hotel mogul, who wants to be CEO just like her father. Instead, her old-fashioned dad wants her to marry his choice for CEO, a man she's never met before (who, honestly, doesn't want to get married to anyone). Her dad is a manipulative jerk, who uses his cancer diagnosis to talk his daughter into marrying a stranger against her will. I was glad when she stood up for herself, but would have liked more of it.

What a wonderful new version of Aladdin. Enjoyable story as always from this author. This is the second book and hopefully there’ll be more.

Aaliyah lives figuratively and literally in a golden prison. She has worked and studied for a goal, both workwise and to please her father. Unfortunately, her goals and her father’s are not the same. I felt sorry for her as the painful truth comes out, she and her dad are no where close to being on the same page. Catelyn Meadows’ retelling of this fairy tale almost leads her down the wrong path. Can she make herself and her father happy? An entertaining story.

Great romance

This was the best in the series yet. I loved that the hero wasn’t a billionaire but a hard working, level headed honest guy.

Refreshing story, well written and a super romance.

Sweet Aladdin Remake

Aaliyah is an amazing woman being torn between duty to her father or to herself. Then she meets River and borrows his lucky lamp. Sweet story! I love how she stood up for herself and how things worked out!

Aliyah and the Billionaire's Lamp

Good story. Her father wants to arrange her marriage, and give the groom her dream job. What's a girl to do? Good clean romance.

Nice

[Topsues · Rating 4 out of 5]

Catelyn Meadows has a considerable talent in the way she can weave her creativity into a Fairy Tale. This one is Aladdin, without a flying carpet in site. This a storyline about an ailing father’s last wish, by arranging his baby girls marriage to make sure she will be secure. Unfortunately all she has dreamed of is proving her worth and her need to fly the nest. His choice is handsome and solvent unfortunately he shouldn’t rely on his assistant so much. This is a love and self discovery story for two people from completely different worlds. Catelyn Meadows gets into your mind and heart bringing their emotions to life as she manoeuvres us through their stories & life histories, constantly leaving you unable to turn away from the pages. I don’t want to leave any spoilers for you, as this story deserves to be read on its own merit. I hope she continues on this path as book.1. Goldie & The Billionaire Bear was excellent. Mind you now I no, I would give anything this author publishes a go.

The story was very well set-up, the descriptions were clear. The last 20% or so was my favorite part. Aaliyah was smart, thoughtful, and very conflicted. The problem was I never really started rooting for her to end up with either of her two romantic interests. The one she was clearly not supposed to be with was hardly there and the one she was supposed to be with held back so much that I started to hope Aaliyah wouldn't end up with either. It was much easier to become invested in her interactions with her father. I wanted her to speak up a bit more, but understood why she acted as she did.

Though I didn't really connect with the romance part of the story as much as I wanted to, it was still enjoyable. The ending was good.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

[Noma Byrne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book! The father of the main character has cancer and wants his daughter to get married before he dies! He tries to arrange a marriage between her and a businessman he knows but she isn't interested. Instead, she falls for the man's right-hand man. I recommend this book to anyone who reads romance!

[Misty Goan · Rating 5 out of 5]

An entertaining well written romance. This engaging storyline had me addicted from the beginning to end with heartwarming and sometimes emotional twist. It's well written with vivid, interesting, and well developed characters in a unique story. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.

Great read! This is an original twist on a favorite fairy tale. The vivid characters and unique storyline keep you reading to see how it all plays out. I read an ARC and chose to share my opinion.

I didn't really like any of the characters.

The Love triangle

Her father is arranging a marriage for her but she doesn't like the man of the idea of an arranged marriage. Happily ever after ending.
