I Married a Billionaire

Written by Melanie Marchande

Narrated by Veronica Meunch

Maddy Wainright has given up on marriage-and men. After dating way too many losers who aren't capable of appreciating her for who she is, she's about ready to resign herself to a life of spinsterhood. Until her insanely rich boss Daniel Thorne comes along with an offer she simply can't refuse.

He proposes a marriage of convenience-one that would allow Maddy to live in the lap of luxury for a year and Mr. Thorne to stay in the country that has become his home. At the end of their arrangement, Maddy will walk away with a cool two million dollars. All she has to do is move into his penthouse, put on a convincing show in public, and endure a few INS interviews, for which she will be thoroughly prepped. It's a big risk, but one Maddy might just be willing to take, considering the payoff.

At first, it's all business. But when the gentle touches, passionate kisses, and lingering looks they have to give each other in public start spilling over into their private life, Daniel and his devious mind take Maddy to heights of pleasure she's never experienced. And the more she gets to know him, the more she feels that wistful tug in her chest every time he puts his arm around her in public. Before long, she finds herself wishing it were real.

As time goes on, Maddy finds herself wondering if two million dollars will be enough to cover the cost of repairing a broken heart. But Mr. Thorne may have yet another secret in store . . .

Reviews for I Married a Billionaire

[caslater83 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Melanie Merchande knows how to draw an audience into her writings. I wish she had toned down the sex and left some of it to our imagination. I don't need to know the graphic details. No one does, really. If you are a Christian, you will likely consider this book to be way outside your comfort zone.

All complaints aside, the characters were well developed. The plot was GREAT--very engaging and sounded very realistic. I just would have preferred hints of sex as opposed to a full explosion of it. What's strange is that this isn't a book that I would normally pick up. Marrying a billionaire isn't something you do everyday and I think that was the main reason why I read the book--to see what the author had in mind!
