Publisher's summary

As a member of the royal family in a small European country, Griffin Verdi's presence is requested at the wedding of the century. The scholarly billionaire feels out of his depth in social situations, so a good assistant is required - especially when dealing with royal etiquette. Unfortunately for Griffin, he's stuck with Maylee Meriweather, a pretty, charming, and thoroughly unsuitable woman who doesn't know a thing about high society - but she sure can kiss. But through Maylee's eyes, Griffin is starting to appreciate the simple things in life - if simple means the most complicated woman he's ever met.

Maylee is everything Griffin isn't - and everything he wants. But he'll never win her over unless he can let down his guard and step outside his sheltered world.

Contains mature themes.

Another good Billionaire Book

Not my favorite in this extremely engaging series, but a solid, enjoyable read nonetheless. Basic plot: opposites attract. I wasn't as in love with Griffon as some of the other billionaires, which is why this wasn't my personal fave, but I totally recommend anyway and can't wait to see what this author does next!

comical and romantic

I was laughing so hard in a couple parts my kids wanted to know what was wrong with me. It was nice to see a true "southern" woman accent and all as the heroin.

SADLY IT'S NOT THE BEST IN THE SERIES

This is a light, fairly fluffy Contemporary romance about 6 Billionaires who have formed a Secret Society to help in their business ventures and to meet to play Poker. However, the single members are now dwindling and this story is about the 4th Billionaire to eventually give in to love's pull.

Griffin is a snobby jerk who is treated like a King and is a member of royalty back in his home country and that's where he's headed but he needs a temporary Assistant. Maylee is a no-nonsence down-to-earth hillbilly type and, at first Griffin hates everything about her. But slowly, as he gets to know her…. well you know what's gonna happen and the simmering attraction finally (and eventually) led to a few sex scenes and a romance. Narration was slow and I didn't like Griffin's upper crust accent.

Worth a credit? This is the first one of the series that I couldn't connect to the characters or believe in their romance. Yes it was funny and Maylee was likeable but Griffin's character growth never happened until near the end and the sex was blah so for those reasons I would have to say not worth my credit but if you're in the mood for a Contemporary, fun, unbelievable plot, or if you're following the series, then go for it. They could all be stand-alone listens.

Good but not great

This isn't the best in the series, but super funny in some parts. Can't wait to hear the rest of the series.

Country bumpkin charms snob royalty

Maylee was too country bumpkin with her lordies, homemade clothes, and belief in her magical healing touch. Griffin was too snobby with his adherence to palace protocols, appearances, and commoners knowing their place. Particularly since he was an antisocial academic who just wanted to go on archeological digs and live away from his royal duties, I found his upper crust rigidity unconvincing and just plain rude. This was like a bad, unfunny Princess Diaries … only with unsexy sex.

The series pretext of a Billionaire’s club serves no purpose except to start each book with a loose connection, making this a standalone fit only for lovers of royal romance … which I am not.

Couldn’t finish because she’s an idiot

In the business place when an employee gives you their correct name then anybody including a halfwit can use the correct name. After the sixth or seventh time of listening to Her say his name wrong and other dribble I had to quit listening.
