Publisher's summary

I asked her to marry me to save my company, I never thought I would fall in love with her.

Ryan:

My company, my life’s work, everything I’ve accomplished is on the line.

I need to get married and fast.

It will be easy to consider it a business arrangement. One that will be lucrative for both my assistant, Mika, and myself. I won’t think about how this takes away the whole problem of dating an employee.

But it doesn’t take away my desire to make her mine.

Mika:

My career was all that mattered to me and getting ahead.

When Ryan gives me an opportunity of a lifetime, I can’t say no. But that was before I became his wife. That was before I moved in with him. That was before I started to fall in love with him.

Now I want to find a way to stay with him forever.

Marry, or else

This story is part of a series. The brothers are rich, and their father passes away. He left a cavate in his will the brothers must all marry, or lose their inheritance. The marriages must last least 1 year. Each brother has their own story. This book is the first brother, who marries his office assistant. They work well together, so decide to make it a business proposition. What can go wrong, other than to actually fall for each other? There is chemistry, some twists, and ends with a HEA. I am looking forward to reading the other brother’s stories. The narration was well done. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

"The billionaire's fake marriage" is a sweet fake-arranged marriage story.

What I did like:
- Both characters were sweet (At the end i fond the MC a little annoying in the way he thought)
- I liked the way the relationship developed, the discussions and the way they came close.

What I didn't Like:
- I listened to the Audible version and i didn't really like the narration (mostly the MFC point of view).
- At some points it is mentioned all the time "He said.... She said.... "again and again.
- Towards the end i found the reaction of the MMC odd.

Overall, it was a cute story, with steam and sweet emotions.
Next time i will read a book from the author, instead of listening to it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Captivating.

Tomlinson and Clarke make it so easy to give your heart over to these amazing characters. From yearning to enduring Ryan and Mika know what it means to capture the soul. Stowe pushes beyond the beauty of love and into the heartache of it. The Billionaire's Fake Marriage is captivating.

Sweet Face Marriage Romance

This is the first book in The Billionaire's Marriage series. I liked Ryan and Mika's sweet romance. They are perfect together. The supporting characters are interesting. This is a great fake marriage romance. JD Tomlinson and AJ Clarke did a great job bringing this story to life. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listening to The Billionaire's Temporary Marriage, the next book in the series. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Narrator needs work

It was hard to tell the difference between the main characters due to them sounding alike. Because of this it took away from the story.

The Story as Banal as the Title

This book had little substance to it. Yes, the fake marriage is set up, and the marriage is underway quickly, but the author doesn't really share much detail about their lives as they're trying to navigate the first months of this fake marriage. The author jumps around between mostly irrelevant incidents, with a little bit of intimacy along the way. No character or plot development. There's a dark moment, as must always happen near the end of a romance, but it was illogical and just made no sense. Why would the hero think that way or assume what he did without talking to the heroine? It just made no sense. He was making a mountain out of a molehill, wreaking havoc in both their lives. My gut instinct tells me that this author is more of a publisher who farms out the actual work of writing the book to a ghostwriter. That can work, so long as you act well as the publisher, both knowing the genre you want your ghostwriter to work with and assuring the ghostwriter puts out good quality work. Whether this author stated on the cover is truly one or a publisher, that didn’t happen. If you like billionaire or fake marriage romance, find a better book!
