Publisher's summary

Juno

When I'm late for a job interview and get stuck on an elevator with an annoyingly sexy, ancient-Rome-obsessed grump, the last thing I expect is for him to be the billionaire owner of the building. I also don't expect to almost kill him...accidentally, of course.

Sure, I don't get the plant care position I applied for, but I do receive an interesting offer.

Lucius needs to trick the public (and his grandma) into thinking he's in a relationship, and I need tuition money to get my botany degree. Our arrangement is mutually beneficial—that is, until I start catching feelings.

If being a cactus lover has taught me anything, it’s that if you get too close, there's a good chance you'll end up hurt.

Lucius

Post-elevator incident, I'm left with three things: my favorite water bottle full of pee, a life-threatening allergic reaction, and paparazzi photos of my “girlfriend” and I that make my Gram the happiest woman alive.

Naturally, my next step is to blackmail—I mean, convince—this (admittedly cute) girl to pretend to date me. That way, my grandma stays happy, and as a bonus, I can keep the gold diggers at bay.

Unfortunately, my arch nemesis, a.k.a. biology, kicks in, and the whole "not getting physical" part of our agreement becomes increasingly hard to abide by. Worse yet, the longer I'm with Juno, the more my delicately crafted icy exterior melts away.

If I'm not careful, Juno will tear down my walls completely.

Another awesome Rom-com from Misha Bell

Take one cactus-like billionaire who’s obsessed with Ancient Rome and one cactus-loving woman with the name of a Roman goddess and you get the opening to this book. Of course, like all of Misha Bells books, this one is laugh-out-loud funny, full of warmth and heart, and something just a little extra to bind it all together! If you haven’t read/listed to this one, do it now! As for me, I’ll be in swoony-heaven, waiting for their next book (and re-listening to some of their works).

Great Rom Com

I read the ebook and always look forward to the audio rom com by Misha. It made the book even more comical and interesting. The scene with his grandmother was even better with the audio, Sebastian is one of my fav male narrators especially when there is some comedy.

Very funny and entertaining!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed so hard reading a book. Worth the credit!

Read it

I wish it didn’t end , couldn’t stop listening , made me laugh and the inerthoughts are so funny.
A good book 🙏🏼

🔆 A NON-STOP LISTEN WITH A WARM ‘FEEL-GOOD’ GLOW 🔆

A charming, cute and fun ‘fake’ to forever Rom/Com written by two great authors who certainly know how to hook you in with quirky loveable characters and a well-paced endearing getting to know each other storyline that delivers and is a very entertaining escape from life’s hurdles. And ferret loving prickly Billionaire Lucius and cactus loving, dyslexic Juno’s romance sweetly and wittily unfurled its magic and delivered big time. It delivered laughs, awkwardness, light, warmth and a fairly low heat level that deliciously brought two opposites closer, moved boundaries and eventually broke the hastily written Addendum to the contract.. but who cares! This handsome hero is vulnerable and flawed yet has so many strengths. He’s very forward thinking, loves his Grandmother and also his three naughty pet ferrets and he’s all alpha when he needs to be. And his friendly, beautiful, quirky little ray of sunshine and Botanist-to-be heroine may know her cacti/cactuses very well.. but she’ll have to learn what damage has made the prickles around Lucius’ heart.

Worth a credit? Yes I really enjoyed this heartwarming hug of a story and Erin and Sebastian were the perfect fit to bring out the very best of everything these authors were offering listeners who want a ‘lite’ listen with laughs, low angst and love.

Love it!

very funny. it kept me laughing so hard that I couldn't stop listening. it's worth your time.

Was a good listen

I really enjoyed Billionaire Grump. It was so cute and I like that the cactus can talk.

This is for the stressed out person who needs a comic relief

I enjoyed the story immensely. I laughed out loud and couldn’t stop smiling: I love Erin and Sebastian’s performance. I will relisten to this one.

A fun fast read

These two were adorable! This was a super cute and funny read. There were a few bits that got more page time than I felt they needed and some scenes that I wish were a bit more fleshed out, but overall I really enjoyed the story and the narrators were phenomenonal as always!
