Publisher's summary

The Billionaire's Counterfeit Girlfriend

Curvaceous beauty Hilary Rosenberg doesn't believe in love. She only goes out with nice guys who won't expect passionate romance - until a notorious womanizer demands she repay a favor with four weeks of counterfeit dates.

Billionaire playboy Mark Pryce doesn't do relationships. In fact, he's never been with the same woman for more than three months. But when his matchmaking mother tries to sabotage his bachelorhood, he needs a stand-in girlfriend to deflect her. Luckily, Hilary owes him. But as they start to spend more time together, he finds himself wanting to break his first rule: never get too close.

The Billionaire's Inconvenient Obsession

Deep in debt and stalked by a deadly con man, Jane Connolly needs a job and a safe place to stay. With no one to turn to in an unfamiliar city, she can't refuse the kindness of a magnetic stranger.

A former mixed martial arts fighter, billionaire Iain Pryce couldn't walk away from a small town girl in a big city, especially when it's obvious she's in trouble. But her sweet spirit threatens the single principle he's been living under for the past 13 years: don't lose control.

The Billionaire's Secret Wife

Having grown up in a dysfunctional family, Vanessa Pryce knows the futility of relying on a man for happiness. But there is one man who makes her want to ignore the truth: the irresistible Justin Sterling, her no-strings boyfriend since their college days together. Even after they break up, she continues to meet him for passionate encounters while keeping the relationship secret. No need to make public something that's doomed.

Billionaire tycoon Justin Sterling understands Vanessa's fears. But he's about to change the game they've been playing, because when one drunken night of sex leads to pregnancy, he's going to move heaven and earth to rewrite their rules.

Happily Ever After Stories!

Would you listen to The Pryce Family, Books 1 - 3 again? Why?

Yes, I love to listen to stories, without too much drama!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Book 1 - Mark, for not giving up!
Book 2 - Jane, sharing her love for family, no matter what, how mad we are with our own.
Book 3 - Justin, knows how to handle situation.

What does Kirsten Leigh bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Kirsten, did a good job in telling all three stories. But, it would have been much better if we had a male voice (Zachary Webber).

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really, it should have been separate books. The reason why, if I wanted to go back to listen Book 2, I would have find the chapter number where to start.

boring

overall just meh. book 3s ending needed more detail and attention to the fmcs feelings instead of just dismissing them. skipped the overweight story, cuz I'm sorry but that's not for me. other one was meh overall.

3 couples with 3 very different stories

Well done Nadia Lee. Thanks for making this series available in KU too. JP

The Billionaire’s Counterfeit Girlfriend
Mark & Hillary. Older woman/younger man, never specified age gap; grand gestures from Mark once he realizes he loves Jane. HEA with a proposal.

Loved the story, written well

Interesting story good twist and turns. Believable story line. Loved the family dynamics good ending .

***Yawn***

How man times are we going to hear her inner monolog and then the exact same thing happens?

"I'm not good enough, I'm too fat".... mean girls: "what does he see in her? she is too fat and not good enough"

"my family is full of losers, they shared men'" "no one would want to sleep with me or be faithful" .... mean girls "ewww, her family is probably in Jerry springer.... she's probably only good at one thing but ewww who would want to do that with her"

mom: "she is beneath my son, she is a working girl and not good enough" about mom "she was just a working girl but threatened by working girls, she wasn't good enough"

stop repeating everything 10 times. I'm half way through the first book and it's dull. I'm tired of hearing the same thing over and over. WHAT horrible self esteem she has that is just reinforced by this author with every character she writes.

As someone who is a "bigger girl" who came from a poor family and now is quite successful, I never talked down to myself as much as this character does and everyone around her. this feels so unrealistic.

Eh - mediocre

There is perhaps 1-2 “hot” moments per story, so if that’s what you’re looking for you might want to move on. I finished the whole 3-story collection but I probably won’t go looking for any more in the series. Nothing terrible, but nothing stands out.

Great listen, can wait for next in series.

Enjoy all the characters. Great story great narrators. Those parents are a piece of work the messed those children up. Goes to show need more than money in life.

First Two Books were Great, but lost interest

Didn’t finish the series. Books one and two were enough for me.

Both stories I listened to were well written but fairly similar to others I’d heard, so nothing new here.

I just love Nadia Lee!

This is one part of a series that I absolutely fell in love with! I hated that I didn’t have more of them to read. I can’t wait for the next one!

Not so much at first but got better

On book 1, I expected to have a good cool book, but instead I was annoyed and bored. I started the series with Kim's story and Hillary seemed stronger. The sample sounded exciting, but nope. Over the top overtures of love was absolutely too much.
Let's see if I make it to book 2.

On to book 2, better, much better. I enjoyed the story of Jane and Iain although the reality of most of the events happening is really unlikely. By the way, why weren't the cops called first. Jane's attitude during 90% of the story was down to earth and enjoyable. My complaint in this book is the jump in narration of internal thought and actual speaking was not very distinctive. More clarity in the distinction would have made it more interesting in my opinion.

Okay, book 3. It's sad that this love story continued on for 10+ years. I see the cared and dedication Justin had for Vanessa, but what about her thoughts and feelings. Anyway, I enjoyed Vanessa in book 1 and 2. In this book, she carries a lot of baggage from her childhood and her parents. Nice twist on the parental side. I could have done without the "thank you" meet up - frankly it was strange.

Struggled to get into it

I can't decide if it's the stories or the single narrator covering every character. I kept getting lost with who was talking, whose story was being told and who they were talking about! I didn't connect with the characters or their emotions, I quite frankly didn't care.
Not for me, sorry.
