Mister Moneybags

By: Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward

Narrated by: Sebastian York, Andi Arndt

Length: 7 hrs and 11 mins

Publisher's Summary

I met Bianca in an elevator. She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck. The beautiful raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed. She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she'd dubbed "Mister Moneybags" - her afternoon appointment.

Bianca told me how much she hated Dex's type - snobby, over-educated, silver-spooned men who didn't appreciate the simple things in life.

So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn't - a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn't want it to end.

I began dating her as "Jay" - all the while letting her interview the real me over email. I didn't expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot. I didn't expect the mess I'd gotten myself into. I didn't expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.

And she was falling for two men.

Only, both men were me.

And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.

Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn't prepared for what came after.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

Brilliant

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward are BRILLIANT authors and as I've said millions of times before, they're an author match made in bookish heaven. To add to their brilliance, this book was narrated by my two most favorite narrators ever, Sebastian York and Andi Ardt. These two can bring any book to life, but when it's a book as good as this one, well...that's just PERFECTION through and through.

Right off the bat, as this book started I found myself laughing. As in, cackling very loudly! Dex was not only hot and completely swoon-worthy, but he was hands-down HILARIOUS. His thoughts and inner dialogue with the whole Jay situation killed me! I seriously could not stop laughing.

Bianca's sassy attitude and comments made her a perfect match for Dex, although her inner demons didn't always make things easy for him (understandably so). The little surprises thrown our way were just that for me: surprises. And mind you, I almost always "see" them coming, but that wasn't the case here.

Towards the end, I felt myself SERIOUSLY ANXIOUS needing to know THE answer. I needed it like I needed my next breath!!! The anticipation, the development, the buildup was top notch!

I seriously cannot get enough of these two authors. They have become my favorite author-duo and I will continue to blindly one-click anything they publish.

FIVE STARS and another addition to my 2017 Top Favorite Books list!

Freaking hilarious and hot!

Now, I have loved every audiobook that Penelope Ward and Vi Keeler have written together. This book is so funny that there was a lot of chuckles while I listened to it! It's also sexy and when a guy gets jealous of his alter ego, only fun ensues! Sebastian York is absolutely perfect for Dex/Jay and Andi Arndt is the best female narrator today in my opinion. You will love this ingenious story!

A little too “Days of Our Lives”

Begins with a rip off of You’ve Got Mail then veers into soap opera-like dramatics. Earns points for managing to be funny and cute at times (and occasionally semi-steamy), but I’m a sucker for any character that talks to animals. Andi Arndt is wonderful, as per usual.

Disappointed with last half of book!!!!

I was so looking forward to this book. It started with the light, romcom characters trapped in an elevator. This had such potential with Georgie Girl and Mr. Moneybags. Then lies would override more lies. Oh! What a tangled web we weave. The second half of the book left me SMH (shaking my head). It was over the top turmoil & drama involving other family characters. There was nothing sexy or steamy until the last 23 minutes of the book. I usually like these duo authors but this fell flat. Love the narrators! Not worth my credit.

Two women=too much talking

I'm by no means a harsh critic of romance novels and frankly the two audible performers have great voices that are quite pleasurable. That said, this book caused me to roll my eyes so many times, I think I may have damaged something. Two authors? It felt like they both convinced the other to come up with the biggest pile of steaming plot twists they could given the limited premise of things.

How many times can a woman want to be held? Good lord, what kind of sensitive, delicate flower did they make the heroine out to be? 'Not tonight, tonight I just want to be held.' That should be the name of this review.

Solid mature characters but right at the moment of their interaction together suddenly they both produce excess estrogen and want to have nonstop feelings dialogue. Can't say they act badly or really just become foolish but the sex is so badly delayed for one reason or another it puts this book solidly in the fantasy realm of relationships. It got to the point that Bianca just seemed like a weak, washout of a lead character. Dex got to the point of totally unbelievable example of patience.

Whatever. I made it to the end, but as a frequent listener/ reader, I wished I hadn't wasted my time. It had potential but good lord, was it wasted.

✫✫ 4 Stars ✫✫

Another great contemporary romance from this duo! In the beginning of this book I was just mad at Dex and wanted to hate him but I just couldn't. He turned out to be completely swoon worthy! Together this couple made for a great story and a hot book! Their relationship started out in the worst way, based on lies, but they way these two fought to work it out was perfect! And the narration was great, as always with these two you can't go wrong!

Not feeling this book

I tried to like this book, but I just could not. I couldn’t even finish. I have enjoyed other books by these authors, and I absolutely love the two narrators. The book started off good, and had a lot of potential. The story line was funny, but the lies on top of more lies just became silly after a while. It just didn’t even make sense most of the time.

The story was ok.

The book was ok. The plot twist was unexpected. It had only one sex scene.

Love the duo.. But not the story

I frequently update to see if SY and AA have new stuff.. This story was a bit on the cheese side! But I'll give it a... " meh".

An edge of your seat storyline

wow one hell of storyline, with jaw dropping plot twists and an emotional roller coaster.
amazing performances from Sebastian York and Andi Arndt as always

Slight hint towards a soap oiera

This book has a slight hint towards resembling to a soap opera. Nevertheless, I have enjoyed listening to it and had a good feeling it would have a good ending.

Loved it

Great book, great story, love the narrators and look forward to listening whenever I get time.

Really enjoyable and funny

Loved this book. Thought the bits where DeX was pretending to be Jay were hilarious especially the wood whitling. Slight twist to your normal romance, very enjoyable. Add to that my two favourite narrators and you can't go wrong.

great book

Found a error

This is the second time I ear this book love it.
But how can they leave the beach all dressed up and them instead of unbutton her dress she’s unbuttoning her shirt lol confusing. But great story. I’m a sucker for happy endings.

Hot Stuff!!

What a storyline. This has got to be the best Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward book that I've listened to so far. Theirs is a great writing partnership. I loved the storyline of this book. I couldn't put it down. I was gripped from start to finish.
I love the Andi Ardnt and Sebastian York pairing on the performance of this story too. They have got to be my favourite vocalists.

Great story!

Really enjoyed this book, very well written and wonderfully narrated. Just browsing for the next one.
