Publisher's summary

Self-made billionaire Nathan Trainor feels restless and disillusioned. His company may be thriving, but he can't find a woman who sees him for more than his wealth. With his love life in the red, he meets two other billionaire bachelors at the ultra-exclusive Bellwether Club. The three of them make a wager of the heart: they must find women who love them for who they are, not their money.

Savvy office temp Chloe Russell is trying to scrape together the money she needs to support her grandmother. So when a flu epidemic strikes Trainor Electronics and she's promoted to Nathan Trainor's assistant, she jumps at the lucrative opportunity. But then Nathan himself falls ill, and he and Chloe must work from his penthouse while he recuperates. Before long, it's clear there's genuine heat between them, and it's more than just a fever spike. Will Nathan win Chloe's heart - and the bet? Or will their differences destroy any chance for love?

Can't get passed immature narration...

The narrator reads about like a high schooler.
The opening isn't particularly interesting, but I'll give the written version a try to see if it becomes better.
Uninteresting and peppered with unnecessary and unhelpful details so far.I don't care if someone adds both salt and pepper to a sandwich!

I can't review it beyond that.

Sweet..but 19 hours of my life I went get back...

I kind of felt the book was for maybe a young adult. But for those of us who are old sullied and jaded save the credit. I also would of liked the books better if it had Male reader as well.

Okay book

Good story line but most of the book centered on their love making. In the car several times, on the plane , on the rug, in the dressing room, on the furniture, in the elevator and much more. I liked nan her grandmother and his father.

Just so-so

I listened to the audiobook. The narrator was sub-par. I believe having a second narrator who was a man would help give the story more depth.

As for the story itself, it was bland and fell flat in too many places. There wasn’t enough depth of feeling. Maybe this was partly the narrator’s fault? I’m not certain.

The storyline had serious potential, but absolutely fell flat on its face!

The CEO Buys In

I was entertained right from the beginning! Nathan Trainor is a multibillion who is tired of being seen only for his money and while sitting in the club is confronted by a writer who is having the worst case of writer's block. When the writer then turns his sites on the football player the three strike up a bet wagering on their hearts and finding a woman who will love them for themselves before a year is up. Good twist to the story.

Chloe is the perfect temp worker for Nathan. She is smart and savvy and when he falls ill to the flu she takes charge. Not only that she is not intimidated by him and he finds her captivating. This was a wonderful story with so many twists, especially when Chloe overhears about the bet. Nathan had to grovel his way out of that one. I listened to this one on audio and loved it!

Very sweet and romantic

This story is perfect with its introduction of the characters and how their relationship grows with lust, friendship, and family. A great reading!
