I have one week to marry a billionaire.
Or my little sister will die.
When Claire Andrews returns home from college for the summer, her little sister is rushed to the hospital due to a life-threatening heart condition. On her twenty-first birthday, Claire will receive a trust fund set aside by her late father with enough money to cover all medical expenses.
The catch?
Claire must marry a rich man or her access to the trust will be denied.
Her childhood crush, Benjamin Lewis, is a twenty-eight-year-old billionaire business mogul and New York City’s most eligible bachelor. When Ben agrees to marry Claire, her financial problems are solved.
But will the price Claire must pay in return be too much for her heart to bear?
MY THOUGHTS AFTER READING...
This is my first Lindsay Marie Miller read and I'm grateful for knowing of her through this free reader's copy.
The storyline isn't completely new to me but what was unique was that it was the female protagonist who was looking for someone to marry in order for her to access her trust fund— on the condition that the guy has to have an equal financial standing or more... Claire Andrews' dire situation forced her hand to do something this ridiculous in order for her to be able to financially support her very sick younger sister...
To be honest, I had mixed feelings reading this book... I was kinda dangling until the last couple of pages. Claire became annoyingly indecisive and just kept on living inside her head. I cant blame her for over-analyzing and over-thinking, but I was already way passed the middle of the book and Claire still cant seem to pull herself together. It was exasperating... It was like a build-up only to be let down... And for someone as established and commanding as Benny, he cant seem to grow his balls and man-up. The up and down was kinda' dragging...
But despite all of what I've said, this story did have it's redeeming qualities... like the unrequited love element, which gave me butterflies in my tummy... and that part of the unwavering love and acceptance of a sibling to another, would definitely pull on your heartstrings.
This story is a wee bit angsty, but sweet and swoony as well. For the fans of Jay McLean, J. L Berg, Brittainy Cherry, Beth Rinyu and Lisa De Jong, this is the book to pick up next.
