Book Review | Stranded with the Secret Billionaire by Marion Lennox
Blurb
Jilted heiress Penny Hindmarsh-Firth has set her broken heart on escaping high society city life. But she’s trapped by floods in the Outback, and a handsome stranger on horseback comes to her rescue!
After a betrayal shattered his life Matt Fraser withdrew from the world—but he can’t deny Penny refuge. This secret billionaire is reluctantly intrigued as the society princess begins proving there’s more to her than meets the eye…
Review
The reason I have only given it 3 as it was okay but it just didn't grab me like the other Mills and Boon books I have read in the past. I feel I have grown up and want more out the book. I felt I want more from the characters and see more of their emotions. Doesn't mean I didn't like the plot where she was stranded with a secret billionaire Matt he seemed kind and cared for Penny's safety and respected her.
I loved how he was open he was in a relationship before and had a child with her and he was willing to change the house so he's daughter could stay. Penny brought he's emotion out more and got him fighting to see he's daughter more.
I loved how Penny didn't really care that he's a billionaire she didn't fall in love with him for he's money she just felt safe with him and she can be herself around him. I will read more Mills and Boon books and get back into them.
Check the book out for yourself.

Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.
That's all you really need to know.
OK, then, for those looking for more: they play a married couple, on Honeymoon 15 years late, who get caught up in (as the name suggests!) a Murder Mystery when a wealthy elderly billionaire is killed, with the two of them framed for said murder and having to prove who dunit ...

I received a copy of this book to review it. OMG I read it start to finish in one setting!!! This thriller is only part one so I have to wait to see what happens next. It closely resembles the current president except he was the running mate to the first woman president. Who killed the president elect during her victory speech? Was the billionaire running mate or someone else???

The Billionaire Dragon Shifter’s Mate ( Grays Hollow Dragon shifters #1)
By Zoe Chant
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Curvy Cara Linley left her boring life in Iowa in search of adventure, but she only found loneliness in new and different places. She thinks there's no fairy tales left for a girl like her-- until she gets stranded on a mountainside, and a gorgeous hero comes to her rescue.
Billionaire dragon shifter Gus Gray has all the treasure a dragon could desire, but even his hoard of glittering gold has lost its shine, with no mate to share it with. Can an ordinary princess and a lonely dragon find their happily ever after?
It was ok for what it was! I was actually surprised at how well written it was and can’t help but think it more of this writers talent which she has for this genre went into the book it could have more story to it and be a little longer. So much potential!

May 7, 2019
enjoyed this book, really like that it was both characters point of view. the story flows really well and when the characters do meet it is perfectly fitted within the story. the ending is a cliff hanger, so have book two ready. it is a well written book and was nice to read a book where the man isn't a billionaire bad boy. would definitely recommend to others.

David McK (3207 KP) rated 6 Underground (2019) in Movies
Jan 27, 2020
Ryan Reynolds starring Michael Bay movie, with Ryan as a billionaire who has faked his own death and is now leading an undercover team of vigilantes - each of whom has also faked their own death - in order to take down a brutal dictator.
As it's a Michael Bay film, you know pretty much what to expect: lots of action (choreographed, admittedly, to some nice soundtrack) but with little coherence!
At least Ryan Reynolds looks like he's having fun ...

Well an ok Action Comedy film with a decent cast. Hugh Grant pretty much playing a billionaire version of his character from Guy Ritchie's @The Gentlemen (2020) complete with same voice. There are some good action scenes and some funny one liners. Despite the budget though it doesn't have a blockbuster feel to it and doesn't reach the heights of many similar films in this genre.

May 7, 2019
This is the second book in this series by this author. The characters are amazing, the perfect swoon worthy billionaire mixed with a strong female. This book can be read as a stand alone read or as part of the series. This is an amazing story that will keep you hooked till the last page. I can't wait to read more in this series and by this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Jun 2, 2024 (Updated Jun 2, 2024)
I thought Season 6 had the perfect send-off, with Holmes and Watson back where they belong in 221b Baker Street.
This, curtailed (I think they knew beforehand) season has the duo moving back to the States following the shooting of a former colleague, with the through line in this 13(?)-episode run being the threat posed by the tech billionaire Odin Reichenbach.
yes, I said Reichenbach.
It's no coincidence one of the final episodes is called 'Reichenbach Falls'

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
JUST ONE NIGHT is a standalone story in the Billionaire & Escort trope. Madden is the billionaire and Asher is the escort. Both of them are confident men, hiding their inner bruised selves from the world. However, both of them also have strong females in their lives. For Mads, it is his older sister; for Asher, his best friend. Both women know exactly what has gone on in the lives of their men and aren't prepared to stand by any longer.
I LOVED THIS STORY! And it's in a genre that usually doesn't do much for me - probably because I'm about as far away from being a billionaire as you can get! There are no unnecessary miscommunications or misunderstandings. Things happen, explanations and reasons given, BOOM, let's sort it out. I can't tell you how refreshing that was. Instead of all that angst, you get two adult men who know what they want, uniting in their feelings for each other, against those who seek to cause damage.
The pacing is smooth, the descriptions vivid, and the characters both lifelike and loveable. The steam is off the charts and I loved how their relationship grew. There is an epilogue that not only gives you everything you want but also left me wanting more from this pair. I did NOT want this book to finish!
Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Highly recommended by me.
