Publisher Description
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...

Familiar story
The story is familiar like The Proposal minus billionaire and Hollywood stars.
I am curious to see the end of the series so I bought it and see where it leads.
I Married a Billionaire
Great book, easy to read. Didn't want to put the book down it was very intertwining.
Bland, juvenile, and a waste of time.
Two and half hours wasted on this dry and unimpressionable story. First of all, the entire premise of this read is ripped off of “The Proposal”, except in this one, the characters were more generic than stock photos on google. Maddy is as uninteresting as they come, no personality, no character, no interests besides a passion for art (real creative), which only comes to play in the middle of the book. Daniel has a split personality, spending his time between a smooth, professional businessman, and a whiny, emotional jerk. Aside from its cardboard characters, the plot line boasts of unexciting arches, bare storylines, and contrived and convenient solutions to their dramatized problems. The conversations are irrevelant and drags the plot down insufferably. Details are inconsistent to say the least and character’s “scarred and dark” backgrounds are brushed over once and are a failure in bringing relatability to the characters. The ending is unsatisfying, fake, and juvenile, with pre-pubescent confessions and a stereotypical third party aggitator. This entire book can be summed up as sporadic and unconnected. Disappointment. Not recommended.
