Their first couple dates are hilarious and disastrous. This is one of my favorite themes of all of Jessica Clare’s books: the heroine with a “flaw” and the hero who could care less about it and spends his time making her feel sexy and pretty. Rob is a major douchecanoe in general, but I loved that he had no problem with Marjorie’s height and did everything he could to make her feel beautiful. How sheltered can one woman be? But other times, she was charming and sweet and overall, I really liked her. There were times that Marjorie’s naivete was a little annoying. So Rob decides to leave…until he falls hard for Marjorie.

Logan is on the island for his wedding and wants nothing to do with smut peddling Rob. And while he’s at the point where he actually wants respect in the industry, he’s having a hard time getting it, especially because his timing in talking with Logan Hawkings ( Stranded With a Billionaire) sucks. Rob makes his money off a TV show that has women show their breasts for money.

He’s jaded by the television industry and the fact that women want him for his money and the fame they think he can bring them. Rob Cannon is Marjorie’s complete opposite. She also has a huge hang up about her height and has been made fun of in the past for being an “Amazon.” She loves bingo, knitting, quilting circles, and generally spending time with the elderly, who she relates to better than she does her peers. She’s a virgin (not a spoiler, it’s in the title of the book), she’s never had a boyfriend, and she tends to think and do like the older generation. For a full synopsis, see this book’s Goodreads page. But this is one of my guilty pleasures that I have absolutely no guilt about.Ī self-conscious woman doesn’t believe it when a good looking business man showers her with attention while she’s on vacation, not recognizing him as the brains behind a popular but misogynistic TV channel. If you had told me a few years back that billionaire romances would be one of my favorite subgenres, I’d have rolled my eyes. In doing so, I managed to finish all three of the currently released Billionaires and Bridesmaids series, a spinoff of my fave Billionaire Boys Club series. It was perfect for us, and rather than worry about reading from my list or trying to get blog posts and writing done, I just went with it, no guilt involved. I recently celebrated my wedding anniversary in a way fitting for a couple of nerdy book lovers: spending the day chilling and reading.
