TITLE: Mister Moneybags AUTHOR: Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: April 10th, 2017
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 love, love, love this amazing writing duo that is Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward. Every single book they create together is the perfect package of amusing, swoony and sexy with the unexpected plot twist that makes it even more incredible.
This time, they wrote the story of Dex and Bianca. They meet while they get stuck on an elevator and automatically connect together. Bianca doesn’t know that the incredibly hot and funny guy she’s with is the same “Mister Moneybags” she’s interviewing in a few minutes. Dex lies and creates for himself a new identity as Jay to woo her as a “normal man” and not the rich business man he really is. He also starts sharing emails with her as his right self and they bond. With time, his lie multiplies into several lies and his developing feelings for Bianca make it inevitable to tell her the truth about his deception.
From the first pages of the book, I was already hooked by the funny lines shared between this couple. The chemistry is abundantly clear between them and they’re enthralling to watch interact together with humour. While I didn’t like how Dex lied about his identity, I think he's still a good man despite his mistakes. Bianca’s preconceptions about him made him doubt about his chance with her and he made an impulsive decision. But I think that he redeems himself very well. He’s so thoughtful with her and their shared romantic feelings are evident.
As if it wasn’t enough to have to deal with this dishonesty, another huge bomb is drop on them. It’s the ultimate test! I found this part of the story especially poignant and heartfelt, with so much love! It was absolutely exquisite to witness this level of emotional connection.
I fell in love with this couple and their stunning and heartbreaking story. More them ever, these authors signed here the perfect romance! I can’t get enough of their writing!
