Mister Moneybags

Vi Keeland, Penelope Ward — 2017

The New York Times bestseller from the authors of Cocky Bastard and Stuck-Up Suit. 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.

I can't even express my disappointment in this book. It was full of cliches and moments that made me just say "wtf is going on." I did finish it, but there was just too much for me.

Soapy Goodness If you are a lover of Soaps then you have to give Mister Moneybags a read. The drama is definitely there but so is "the love in the afternoon". I laughed, cried, and commiserated with Bianca and Dex. Their path was not easy. If you are looking for steamy/erotica this is not your book. I would classify this as a "classic Harlequin". Guaranteed romance but it's not about the sex. It's about the relationship and the HEA.

** spoiler alert ** This book... it was so bad. First of all, Bianca says she hates liars because of her bad history with them and she wants to avoid them at all costs. Then Dex meets her and lies about pretty much every single thing about himself, and she ends up forgiving him so quickly?? Also, towards the end, there’s a chance that Dex and Bianca are half-siblings, but Dex repeatedly says that even if they are siblings, he wouldn’t care and would still be with her sexually and marry her and have kids with her. That is so disturbing to me... not romantic. Whether or not they actually ended up being related, he still said that he would be okay/more than okay with incest, which is revolting. I don’t even know how I made it through this entire book. I am disappointed because I usually love Vi Keeland’s and Penelope Ward’s books.

This was entirely too chaotic to keep up with. The plot goes downhill after the male protagonist's initial lie snowballs. Everybody was lying lying lying and I believe that the characters could have been tweaked a bit more so they actually showed some development. It almost seemed like the plot kept happening to them and they were only reacting. Website: https://litdarlings.com/

The scare we had only made us stronger... there is nothing would make you appreciate what you have more than the fear of losing them... Audio 4.5 stars... Story 4 stars... This book was full of almost all the imotions you can think of, happiness, comfort, comedy, and sadness as well, though I didn't like the aspect of the hero as much at first, but my opinion of him has completely been changed after that.. the couple was so lovely I just really fell in love.. they shared similar pain which they both suffered through there lives, and the live has smiled to them and the destiny has put them together after all, also, one of the most awesome moments I really loved was that when the hero just sat and started talking with the dog.. That was so lovely and heart touching, I usually really hate lying.. and I always prefer to tell the truth... I know that the hero has made a mistake when he's lied to the heroine.. but also I can't blame him that much because there was another side to it if we looked at it from a different way.. in which.. he was doing that for her own sake, and only to protect her from a potential hurt... every character head an important role in this book.. they all did a great job.. the storyline was balanced.. and I really enjoyed the writing style, the couple loved each other so much, and for me.. it was pretty clear and right... And as Dexter trueit, or rather.. Mr money bags said: Some people express love through words... Others through actions... And some.. we Express it through art, so let's all Express our love to each other through whatever the way, let's all forgive.. and always.. just love
