Rich as Sin
Fake relationship? I thought that only happened in spicy BookTok novels.
But here he is, as demanding as he is gorgeous...
Asking me to be his pretend date.
Would it be so bad to say yes?
I mean, the poor guy recently got stood up literally at the altar.
No wonder he's gone off real dating.
I'm an emergency room doctor working double shifts.
You can pretty much always find me wearing scrubs.
I haven't had a date since...
Okay, not going to admit that sad number out loud.
He makes me his plus one for a destination wedding.
I might be willing to play his game—as long as it’s fake.
I'm just not willing to put my heart at stake.

NO STRINGS ATTACHED
The Bachman legacy continues with a few new twists. Anyone who has read Ms. Shanna Handel’s stories revolving around the Bachman clan will understand. For those who haven’t, enough of the Bachman standards are laid out in the story that you won’t feel left out. While the Bachman family has many businesses, some employees are not Bachman; it is a standard that people strive to achieve. One of the most coveted is to become a Bachman Beauty, but that is by marriage to a Bachman man.
Richland ‘Rich’ Bachman has no faith in love, not after being left at the altar. But now, his friend, Preston, is marrying, and Rich is in the wedding party. Preston advises him to get a ‘fake date’ so the Beauties will leave him alone.
Doctor Amena Palmer has run away from her life in Georgia to New York City. She doesn’t date, is a workaholic, and the only absolute guilty pleasure she indulges in is her wine and watching one of the hottest reality shows, ‘Beauty Finds Her Beast,” or BFHB, with her Dad, via phone call each week. Even her Dad tells her she could be the next Beauty.
“Hello, world! Chess here, and I’m excited to announce that Beauty Finds Her Beast is looking for their next Belle. Could you be the next lucky lady to find her love before the last petal falls?”
Dad: Honey! Here’s your chance! You can be the star of your favorite show. Come on. You’d be great. It’d be nice to a contestant with a brain for a change. And you’re funny and beautiful and smart…
Mena: You’re my dad. You have to say that stuff.
Dad: Well, it’s all true, but I tell you what…
Mena: Don’t you dare say it, Dad!
Dad: I double-dog dare you.
Mena: Just because you dared me, doesn’t mean I’m going to do it.
It’s amazing when you drink wine, and your mind starts thinking about things you might do. Before Mena knows it, she has pulled up the entry form, answering it honestly.
The story’s plot will have Preston bringing Rich into the ER after an accident while riding on an ATV. Throw in too much alcohol; it was a bad combination. Rich will be fortunate only to have bruised ribs and a mild concussion. The only good thing was meeting Dr. Mena in the ER. It will be Preston who tells him he should invite her to Greece as his ‘fake date’ for the wedding.
“You invite her. You ask her to be your fake girlfriend. You bring her to Greece, show her around the family, have a few dances, have a little fun, then come home. The family will think you’re back to dating, back to your old self, and they’ll leave you alone at least for the week of the wedding but probably afterward as well. She’s gorgeous. She’s funny. She’d be a nice distraction for you.”
The story will have Rich deciding to do what Bachman men do best, get their way. He will make arrangements for a date and give her a wonderful time, taking her ice skating, a dream come true for her. Then to meet his mum. He even calls her hospital to see about making provisions for her to take off to attend the wedding in Greece. Nothing to pack; all will be taken care of by the Beauties.
I love the chemistry between Rich and Mena—they have more in common than most people. He respects her dedication to her profession—and gives her a vacation of a lifetime in Greece. What will happen when they return to New York? Will the next chapter in Mena’s life alter what happens between her and Rich?
“I think this Beauty has found her Beast. But there’s nothing beastly about you.”
The story has so much more—including the wedding of Preston and Jules from Devil in Gold. While the story does not end on a cliffhanger, it does segue into the next story, that of Lang—Make it Rain.

Simply wonderful addition to Bachman family, loved this wonderful story
Dr Meena had not been able to forget the patient she had treated simply because he was a larger-than-life character and she knew that his accidents were resulting from him trying to run away from something in his life, his best friend that had brought him into emergency room also seemed to agree that he was running from himself.
Rich Bachman as his friends and brothers in the Bachman family had all been very worried about him since he’s been stood up at the alter and he knew that if he was going to have any peace at his best friend and brother Bachman’s wedding was by taking a girl friend along and stop them worrying about him.
Meena had been shocked when he telephoned and offered to take her out and change her mind, never could she have expected that this man that she had only just met would go out of his way to make one of her dreams come true.
The chemistry between them was simply wonderful and when she met his family she felt as though she had made a whole group of new friends who valued family and those around them like she did.
This is a truly wonderful read and once I started, I read in one sitting but am not going to spoil the book for other readers.
I do not want to spoil the plot so will say no more about the three of them, I assure you that you will enjoy every single moment of this book.
I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

There just seems to be no limit to the number of exciting, sexually charged, stories Ms. Handel develops around the Bachman clan. Rich and Amena first meet at a hospital emergency ward where he has gone to be treated for some injuries and Amena is the attending emergency ward physician. Rich had been left standing at the alter when his bride stood him up and has sworn off relationships since. Amena had her own bad experience on her intended wedding day and has buried herself in her work to avoid any relationships of any type. A coincidence? Yes, but this story is chock full of coincidences and they really help to keep the plot moving along at a breakneck pace. They do feel an immediate attraction to each other, but neither is really ready to take a first step. It takes Preston, Rich’s best friend, to initiate things by suggesting Rich invite Amena to Preston’s wedding as his fake date. He does invite her but it takes truly unusual and unexpected coercion to get her to accept. From then on the fun really begins. This is a great spanking romance with a little less kink than most of the Bachman stories but still includes spankings, graphically erotic sex and an appropriate HEA. As always, the epilogue gives promise of yet another Bachman story to come, another that I just can’t wait to read. 5 Stars.

Rich as Sin is the third book in the Beauties and Billionaires series. Rich has to face his best friend’s wedding after being left at the alter, so he hatches a plan for a fake relationship with Mena. While they might not have known each other for long, their feelings begin to feel real, but will their connection be over before it truly begins, or can love triumph over past hurts?
Oh wow, this book was just captivating! Right from the very first page, I loved the connection between Mena and Rich! They just sizzled. Neither one of them wanted anything serious due to their pasts, yet neither one of them could resist what they felt. Mena was so brave to finally open up to life again, to experience passion and love and putting herself out there. I also loved for as independent and bold that she could be in the ER, she could be the perfect submissive counterpart to Rich. While he had an air of nonchalance, Rich could really be possessive, protective, and all dominant. I liked that he could have fun, that he listened and made dreams come true, but I also loved that he always put Mena and her safety first. I loved their connection! I loved their steam! There’s a lot that happens in this book, and while there is some drama, I liked that it stays pretty focused on the relationship! I really have loved these books in this series, and I adored Rich and Mena!

This is Rich and Amena’s story. Rich is devastated from being used and left at the alter on his wedding day. He resorted to taking risks and being a daredevil to deal with his emotional pain. He has been to the hospital on multiple occasions for this behavior. This time he meets Dr. Amena. There is chemistry, even though he’s out of it on pain meds. Preston’s wedding to Jules in Greece is fast approaching and he needs a date, a fake date. This will get the family off his back. He has a proposal for her. It’ll take him a bit to convince her though. Amena hasn’t been in a relationship for several years. Her last engagement ended tragically. She ends up applying for a reality dating show before agreeing to be Rich’s fake date. They end up taking the trip to Greece for the wedding. They agree to the fake relationship with benefits. At the end of the week, can they stick to the plan? This is another good one from Shanna. I always love a Bachman man! As usual, you’re swept away with vivid descriptions of the landscape and surroundings. I recommend reading this series in order, although it’s not necessary.

When Richmond Bachman tries to rid himself of the memory of being left at the altar, he sends himself into overdrive with alcohol and an ATV adventure that ends with a trip to the ER. His doctor there, Amina Palmer, can't avoid noticing him. She has been on the shelf since her wedding also never took place. His friend, Preston, comes up with the idea for Rich to ask her to be his date to Preston's wedding just to get his family off his back about dating again. In a moment of weakness, she agrees to the trip to Greece and a week long vacation with him. This spicy trip turns just as you would expect with a Bachman and a good time is had by all. Shanna Handel once again brings the world of Bachman men to life with dominant alpha men and smart, strong, clever women that are perfect for each other. Here's hoping that saga continues forever!

"How do I like my eggs in the morning?"
"Fertilized? I will have your baby right now if you keep up like this."
If you know the Bachman men, you know exactly what was going on there 😏
Rich was left at the altar...who in their right mind would EVER leave a Bachman hottie at the altar!? Either way, now he's pushing his limits and has found himself in the ER.
In comes Dr. Amena, Mena to her friends. She herself is dealing with some serious heartbreak (I balled my eyes out) and has closed herself off to life.
So begins the story of their fake relationship. Absolutely LOVE these two "faking" it! They have such a fantastic time together, especially because those walls they want up refuse to stay up. Add in some trashy reality tv, two precious parents and a new Bachman...you've got another fantastic read by our lovely Shanna.

This is the latest in the Beauties and Billionaires series but like all the others can be read and enjoyed as a standalone read, although characters from previous books, particularly Devil in Gold, do feature. I really enjoyed this story, it was fun and light with no dull parts in the story or sections where everything lagged. A lot of this had to do with the characters - Rich and Mena. Individually they are very likable but have them interacting together and it was just wonderful, with the story tripping along in such a happy manner. Sure, this book isn't perfect and if you're looking for kink/spanking this may be too light for you, but I had fun reading this book. It was just what I needed.

I liked Rich and Amena's book. I thought they had great chemistry. I liked that Amena was a doctor and a WOC. The whole skating thing was sweet, and kind of humorous. I kept hearing Shane East narrating Rich in my head, lol.
The reality TV show was an interesting addition, along with how it turned out. Another surprise was Mena's story. When she finally shared it with Rich, I was not expecting that. The imagination is a wonderful thing.
Both Rich and Mena were so likable. It was nice to have both families included in the story, biological and Bachman. This was a sweet, sexy, romantic "I didn't intend to fall in love" story. I also enjoyed their version of HEA. I kind of wished this book was longer.

'Rich as Sin' is the third book in Shanna Handel's "Beauties and Billionaire" series. I read through the blurb and immediately my heart went out to Rich. I mean, can you imagine? And then I started reading it and I have to say, as badly as I felt for him the immediate connection between him and Dr. Mena literally had me laughing out loud. There are just some personalities that automatically click and these two do like pieces of a puzzle. The fake relationship scenario is as old as books being published but Ms. Handel has put so much personality and chemistry within the telling, it was a fast-paced, chemistry-filled, storyline that made me giggle in spots. This was an absolute joy to read and after reading the beginning of Lang's story, I know I'm already downloading the next one!

another great book from this author. rich and Mena meet in a strange place when rich is injured in an accident. dr Mena has been working most every day and night., and when she mts rich she can't decide if she wants to be his doctor or his girlfriend. Rich is a billionaire and has no need for money, and when he has decided to give up on women since he was stood up at the altar, but when mena walks in his hospital room these two can't tell each other how they feel about each other. Mena and Rich both have been through heartache from other relationship's and have given up on love until they see each other. I can't wait to read the next one in this series and see what happens to these couples. I guess there is really a beast for a beauty.

I have never read a Bachman brother book I didn't like! Shanna Handel continues to evolve and grow this world and every single book is such a comfort read to me! After getting left at the altar, Rich is tired of the family worrying about him and the Beauties smothering him. He continues to put himself in reckless situations which is how he meets Amena, the beautiful ER doctor who tells him to get his crap together. Rich proposes a fake dating situation to Amena and brings her to Greece so the family will get off his back. These two take you on a wild ride from fake dating to a reality TV show to so much more. Quick, spicy fake dating romance that you won't want to put down!

Just when I think the Bachmans can’t get any better, Ms. Handel releases a new story. I was blown away by this one. I didn’t want it end. I loved every second of it.
Rich is not doing so good. He’s left at the altar and has going off the deep end. He lands in Mena’s ER. He is struck by her. He asks her to be his fake date at an upcoming Bachman wedding. Mena isn’t too sure at first but he convinced her. It isn’t long before the fake-ness threatens to become real. They have both been hurt in the past. Are they willing to let the past go to find a future together?
I received an ARC from the author/publisher for an honest review

The author immediately makes you empathized with Rich and want to make all his hurts better. I enjoyed how protective over Mena that Rich gets almost instantly, just like a true Baughman man, and his patience is legendary!!! One heck of a wedding surprise for everyone!!!! Rich is full of surprises start to finish. Unpredictable !
The author is beyond devious with that epilogue and Lang. I'm salivating waiting for the next book!!!!

In book 3 of this series, we get Rich and Amina's story. It starts out as a fake relationship with Rich talking Amina into going to a wedding in Greece. She's a doctor and hasn't taken any time off from work so she decides to take him up on his offer. Of course, we know what's going to happen. That Bachman magic!!! The story was a page turner and as always, I love seeing previous characters. Wonderful story!!!

I can't say enough about how much I love the Bachman's! I was looking forward to Rich's story and it was great! I have given up trying to decide who my favorite Bachman is, but Rich is definitely near the top. He's sexy and bosy, but sweet and patient too. Mena has no idea what she's getting herself into when he shows up in her ER. Great story, great series! I'm always ready for the next book in the Bachman life.

It's rich as only Bachman men are, and it's sinful as only these guys know how to be. Richmond has been through hell and when he ends up in ER the doctor gives him a lifeline. Mena is taken by this guy but when he leaves ER that's it finished. Should have a warning "very hot" this just gives me chills as two lost souls find themselves and each other. Fabulous read for me. I voluntarily reviewed this book.

The Beauties
I think the full weight of The Beauties is showcased in this installment, though I am still new to the Bachman world the Beauties seem to have the hookup and they are a force! It doesn't so much factor into the relationship between Amena & Rich but I really liked the Beauties in this one. It was very nice watching Mena & Rich fall for each other despite their unlucky in love pasts.

Mena and Rich
Wowsa, this book is absolutely fantastic and will definitely have you engrossed from the beginning until the end and sitting on the edge of your seat. It's got some bdsm in it and smoking hot sex scenes. Rich is left at the altar, and mena didn't make it to hers ,but both their stories are heartbreaking, but together, can they find love between them? I absolutely loved this book and couldn't get enough of them.

These books just get better and better! I loved Rich and Mena, loved seeing them work together to fool the other Bachmans, loved seeing him come up with a solution for her... And what was so great about this book: well, the Bachman’s for one, dominate man takes on strong woman (and they both win), and spankings, lots of spankings. I can't wait to see what Shanna Handel comes up with next :)

Man I love your books I can’t get enough of them. I can not wait until make it rain is available. This book definitely had me on edge like when is she going to tell him what happened to her on her wedding day why is she hiding it. When she finally tells him it really made your feelers feel. I had tears running down my face.

I loved this different Bachman story. Both the main characters are sweet and hurt, scared to love again. This story twists and turns as Meana and Rich learn that there is still life after hurt. I loved all the characters and their interactions. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book and I recommend it. This book is very well worth reading. An enjoyable and well written story.

Rich As Sin was a good story, the plot was strong, it was written well. Mena and Rich were strong characters that were well matched. What started out one way between them turned into something stronger, they were good together, their connection and chemistry was strong, they were made for one another.
I enjoyed this story. Thanks, Shanna Handel. Good work :)

Another Bachman must read! Rich needs a date fir an upcoming Bachman wedding and show them he’s finally overcome his trampled heart. Mena fits the requirements. She’s dealing with her own loss of a patient (she’s a dr). Take charge alpha Bachman makes with their beauties, lots of hot loving and plenty of drama! *I was given a copy and am voluntarily giving my honest review.

3/5 – Book #3 of Beauty and the Billionaires Series; Available on Kindle Unlimited
This was probably my least favorite of all of the book, which I feel bad about because Rich was such a sweet MMC. The fake relationship just didn’t read well for me, and then the secondary plot of Amena also applying for a Bachelor-esque themed show just was confusing at 75% into the book. These books read very fast and I felt like I just wanted more story telling because it fell very flat.
Brief Plot: Years ago, Rich was left at the altar. Now he’s an adrenaline junkie, until he crashes his ATV and ends up on Amena’s ER bed. He then offers her an all-expense paid trip to be his fake date for his best friend’s wedding. And if chemistry sparks between the two, they will deal with that as well.

Rich as Sin
I was just waiting on the other shoe to drop. Things were going much too good for Rich and Mena. I knew at some point, it suspected, that Rich's ex would come crawling back. The nerve of her tho, silly rabbit. I knew from the chemistry between Rich and Mena where it would lead, they were too much into each other for it to how they started out.
