This was the star in the series for me. Eva hates Daniele’s guts because he finagled her into a date that he swore up and down wasn’t a date and then proceeded to flirt shamelessly and proposition her. She promptly told him where he could shove his proposition and wrote him completely off. Luckily, while Daniele was definitely going through an a-hole phase at the time (because grief!), he’s really not an a-hole at heart.

When his cousin’s affair with his brother’s widow becomes public knowledge, Daniele needs a marriage of convenience to secure his family’s inheritance and ensure it won’t go to the betraying cousin. He decides that only Eva will do and he sweetens the deal with a massive donation to the aid organization she works for. Their marriage is supposed to be in name only but things quickly escalate. Watching them both find love they never thought they would get is downright heart-warming.

This is the third book in the Bound to a Billionaire series and it was a very interesting read.  I'm going to have to go back and read the other 2 books of this series.  The characters were interesting and they both had issues that they need to resolve in order for them to be able to live happily ever after.  Marriage is something that should be sacred but it seems that Daniele wants this marriage just as a convenience and Eva is thinking about the money that could help people.  They have this chemistry that is sizzling but she is fighting it and Daniele is being the gentleman that he promised he would be.  Eva is a caring person and when she tells her story I felt so bad for her because her parents shouldn't have treated her nor her sisters the way they did.  Then there is Daniele and his family.  There is so much going on in the Pellegrini between the death of his brother and some other big issues that of course Daniele is going to lose his mind.  But what I love is that Eva is there and supports him in any way that she can.  What ends up happening is Eva is falling in love with Daniele but when she over hears him speaking with his sister things change and she runs away. 
 
Buying His Bride Convenience was a good read.  It was enthralling from the beginning to the very end.  There were some parts that were a little slow but that was okay.  These two characters deserved to be together and live happily ever after.  They needed to see that they were already in love with each other once that happened then they could move forward with their marriage.

Oh Michelle Smart, how much do I love your writing? MUCH!

Book 3 in the Bound to a Billionaire trilogy, Eva and Daniele are fantastic characters who are basically all about my fave scenario, married; dont like each other; read how the sparks fly on their journey to love.

Fantastic dialogue, wonderful plot and fast paced.

Loved it!

I didn't think that I would like it as I hate when my romances have prior loves/marriages but I found that I didn't mind in this one because h was not in love with her ex.I also loved how they formed a close loving bond and the epilogue, OH MY GOD! Loved it!

This book was very good and I enjoyed reading it. Daniele was handsome, rich and needed a wife to keep the family estate and so he marries Eva. She's beautiful, poor and the deal they strike up is perfectly simple. They both simply failed at this marriage of convenience. This book was sexy, romantic and well written. I would have given it five stars if there had been a little more conflict. Still I would recommend it.

This was a boring story that didn't live up to the synopsis. It never held my interest and the ending was rushed.

Since the death of his older brother, Pieta, billionaire Daniele Pellegrini must marry in order to inherit the family estate. The woman he has in mind, Eva Bergen, hates him - which is perfect because he doesn't want a woman who will fall in love with him. If he had a choice, he wouldn't get married at all! Eva can't turn down the massive donation Daniele is willing to make to the cause she's worked for the last four years. She's willing to sacrifice herself for the cause but not willing to hand over her heart. Can either of them hold out when they discover that the person they married is not the person they believed them to be?

I always enjoy Michelle Smart's books. She consistently tells a story that pulls me in and tugs at my emotions. Buying His Bride of Convenience is no exception. Daniele wants the world to see the playboy with a different woman on his arm every outing when he's really a closet philanthropist, supporting causes financially and using his architectural prowess to build structures that complement their terrain. He chooses Eva for all the wrong reasons. What happens when she sees past his glitz to the man of substance?

Buying His Bride of Convenience is the wonderful story of Daniele and Eva, both share an amazing attraction, but the hurt that they have endured has made them feel that love is painful and best to keep away from. Eva work as a translator in a remote are where Daniele and his family are building a hospital in memory of his dead brother and while they are both extremely attracted to each other Eva thinks the worst of Daniele based on the gossip she has heard and won't have anything to do with him, until Daniele convinces her to marry him and as they start their lives as a couple they are forced to see what the other is really like and that leads to decision that will change their lives forever. This was such a great story both Daniele and Eva have suffered and they are not willing to risk their hearts, but they are forced to face their fears and that changes them. This was a great love story and I love both Daniele and Eva!

This book I liked very much, besides the love story it told about abuse and how love and hate are sometimes entwined. The characters were very likable.

This is Eva and Danielle's story. He needed a convenient wife to inherit his family's castle. She wanted her charity to be funded. He would give several million dollars to help her charity if she would marry him. He says he will never love. There are many twists and turns in their relationship. I read the book in one day.

This was a sweet romance about a marriage of convenience. Both parties have the same feeling for the other and none are in love with the other when the book starts. They areboth just good people who are mostly happy but circumstances happen that make them marry. They start out not liking the other but as they get to know the other they slowly fall into like, lust and then love.

The side characters were also really terrific and they helped enrich this story. I expecially loved Daniela's sister. If you are looking for a light and fun story then this is the book. There is no angyst and no bad giys or jealous exes, just two people who marry to help their causes and the people theylove.

I really had a great time reading Smart’s book Buying His Bride of Convenience. The beginning was a little hard to believe but this is a HP book so of course we know what to expect. Both hero and heroine have traits to like and dislike but at the end they complemented each other which is the important thing to notice. I liked that the heroine was not in love with the hero from the beginning and I liked that the hero was not insulting the heroine at every turn. The ending is beautiful; I actually slowed down and went back to re-read some of the sentences because I loved how Smart brought both H and h together at the end. A must read for those HP fans, you won’t be disappointed.
