LOVED IT!!! Read it in one sitting, refusing to put it down during the night n showing up to work with pretty puffy eyes and searching for a strong cup of coffee. 😃
I have been pretty restless lately trying to find a good romance story. The type that would make your toes curl and grin like a fool! Julian and Holly’s story was it. Their chemistry was great and their banter was pretty entertaining. Following along as their story developed was good, with many “grin like a fool” kind of episodes.

The only thing that usually throws me when it comes to “twin sibling” stories is my annoyance as to how can the hero/heroine not know they were not dealing with the right sibling?! But this time around it really didn’t matter. I was so engrossed in the story and enjoying as the it plugged along that it did not bother me.

I am so glad I found this author. I am usually a historical romance kind of gal and have a hard time with contemporary romance that I have a better short list of authors that I follow. I am glad that I have discovered a new one. As soon as I was done with this story I headed to my Kindle store and purchased one of her other books! 😊

In Betraying the Billionaire we meet identical twins Holly and Lilian who face the demise of their families' company. So, while Lilian goes to look for a solution, Holly pretends to be Lilian in order to fool her fiance and complete the merger between Julian and their father John. However, things get tricky, when Holly realises that Julian is actually a nice guy and might be the one for him.

This was surprisingly a great read. I did not go into this with any excpectations other than thinking the summary sounded interesting. Holly is a compassionate character and Julian is not at all portrayed as a ruthless billionaire we often meet in these types of books. They had great chemistry and it was great to see Holly becoming stronger and more confident. I am pretty sure the author set things in motion for Lilian's story as well and am excited to read it once it is published!

Thank you for the publisher for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Really enjoyed this. Loved the characters and the storyline. Had me hooked pretty early on and didn’t want it to end.

A sometimes lighthearted, sometimes tense billionaire romance .

The characters are great , love the twin swap thing .

Julian is wonderful as the Billionaire boss looking to marry to further his business, but when something doesn’t seem right he and his business partners have to dig very deep to find the reasons.
All the while he’s falling for Lily, or is it Holly ?

Holly and Lillian swap rolls to save jobs and the family business , not knowing the man behind it all , their father , has even more nefarious reasons to want both business and family to joined to Julians company .

A great read that looks like being a great series , can’t wait to read Holly’s book .

I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review

After reading Betraying the Billionaire by Victoria Davies I now have another author to add to my favorites lists.. This is a super enjoyable easy read with likeable characters who just happen to have loads of chemistry. I was hooked from page one. Now I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Betraying the Billionaire did not disappoint! The book's summary got me to start the book and I was hooked immediately. I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting! I really enjoyed seeing the relationship between Holly and Julian build. So often we barely see the relationship building - we see instalove/instalust and are expected to believe the relationship is real. That was not the case here. By the end I felt like I understood both characters and really believed their relationship. I think the dual point of view helped with this and really added depth. Kudos to Davies for pulling off what many romance authors struggle to do!

This is the second book I have read from Victoria Davies and I will definitely be reading more. I am hoping to read more about Lillian and Dominic (fingers crossed)! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Holly has always believed that she was second best to her older twin. She didn’t think that she was as pretty. She didn’t have a large inheritance, and she definitely came in second place with their hard-hearted father.

Julian grew up in foster care with his heart closed off. He became a business mogul, but never expected to fall in love or have a family. As part of a planned business merger, he agreed to marry the blue-blooded daughter of a business owner in order to acquire the respectability of an association with the family would bring.

The only problem is that the older twin wasn’t interested in marrying him as part of a business merger. However, the younger twin agreed to impersonate her twin until her missing sister could be found. What neither she nor Julian expected was to fall in love. Can they ever find happiness with all of the twists, turn, and lies that stand in their way?

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. This is one of the best slow burn romance titles I have read in months. Once I picked Julian and Holly's story up I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting. The back and forth knowledge of Holly's true identity keeps your interest glued to this story just to find out what is going to happen for this couple. Victoria Davies allows you to become empathetic towards the main two characters throughout the story. I can not wait to read Lillian's story and find out what happened in San Francisco. This book deserves more then 5 stars.

Betraying the Billionaire was my first book by Victoria Davies and won’t be my last. It gave me all of the feels. I really enjoyed this book.

Betraying the billionaire is a story of twin sisters being used as pawns by their father to get what he wants. With Lillian gone, Holly is responsible for being her sister and going out with her new “fiancé”. Julian has made a fortune from nothing now he needs the name of old money to open more doors. Marrying Lillian Abbott will give him that.

Their relationship turns serious and when Lillian comes back things are going to get interesting. How will Holly be able to step away when she is in love with her sisters fiancé ? Will he be able to stand the sisters when the truth comes to light?

It was a good book and I actually consumed it in one sitting. I love Holly and fell hard as she did for Julian. I can’t even dislike Lillian. Can’t wait for her book!

Such a fun book. Loved it from the beginning. Just found a new must read author. Great characters and the perfect heat level.

Betraying the Billionaire by Victoria Davies a five-star read that you would forgive anything for. This was my first read by this author and I am sure it won’t be the last, I was sobbing at times reading this one, smiling so big it hurt my face at others, Holly is someone you will fall for, she is just such a warm and inviting character. Julian is great, and you will warm to him as the story progresses, and unfolds, they are so complex and sublime together they will blow you away. The secondary characters play a good part, and will we ever find out what really happened to Lillian? Would you marry for other people? If you read this it may make you think and change your mind, I know it did mine,

What! I can't believe it. Must read the next book now please. Betraying the Billionaire, was left with a little cliffhanger. I loved it so much though.

Trope: marry to save the family business, twin swap
Cover rating: so cute and fits the character descriptions
Book description accuracy: very accurate and sets up the story well
General review:
This was my first story by Davies but it won’t be the last! This was one I did not want to put down and I loved how sweet the H was. I was so on board with this relationship and it was presented in a way that actually made sense for the trope. I liked the h and Davies does a fantastic job characterizing her and letting the reader into her feelings of being the “second choice twin”. She does almost too good a job at this, as I really did not like the twin sister and the epilogue was about her, setting up her story. I will be picking up the sequel because I want more of this H&h and I liked Davies’ writing style so much; I’m hoping she’ll redeem the sister in some way!
Angst style: H discovers the twin swap
POV: 3rd person, both H & h
Relationship stage reached: engaged
Epilogue? yes, on the wedding day. I think it sets up the next book more than ties off the main story

Content warnings: emotional (& possibly physical) abuse by a parent

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review. #BetrayingTheBillionaire #NetGalley

I was lucky to get an arc of this book. It was great. I love the relationship between the H Julien and the h Holly. They were dynamite together and you cannot help but root for their HEA. I highly recommend this book.

This book has all the feels! Victoria Davies characters in this novel have depth and a realism that draws the reader right in. By the end you know and love the main characters like old friends. The whole story flows and carries you with it.

When Holly's identical twin sister runs away from an arranged marriage, her controlling father has Holly fill the role. Being her socialite sister isn't as easy as she expects and she finds "her" betrothed isn't what she expected either. As a twin myself, I related to Holly's feeling that she's the B Team and immediately felt connected to her as a character. At first, it seemed Julian - the billionaire fiancé - was going to fall right into the stereotypes of business focused main men. He surprised me by proving to be so much more and I became their biggest cheerleader! Can they overcome a start built on a lie?

This book will make you smile, shed some tears, and fill your heart - I recommend it wholeheartedly!

Holly's twin Lillian has run from home, as she doesn't want to give in to the arranged marriage to Julian. Not wanting to lt her father down, Holly ends up pretending to be Lillian, but the more time she spends with Julian the more she falls for him.
So what will happen when he discovers her secret?

Entertaining read.

4.5 Stars
Julian Worth is a self-made Billionaire who realizes that his lack of pedigree hinders him in his business deal. He approaches John Noble with a business proposition to merge their companies along with their families by marrying his daughter Lillian. John agrees to the proposal. Lillian skips town, and John guilts Lillian’s twin sister Holly into impersonating Lillian. Holly is softhearted, and when her father lets her know that if she doesn’t go along with this scheme, many people in their company will lose their jobs. She of course acquiesces. Problem is, as she gets to know Julian, she realizes that the tough as nails CEO is actually a good man. Of course, the path to true love is pretty rocky when it is based on lies. I really loved both Julian and Holly and how their relationship took time to developed. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided by NetGalley and the publisher. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Loved it
This is my first book by Victoria Davies.

What I liked:
The writing style
The characters
Part of a series: The Abbott Sisters
Standalone
HEA
Epilogue

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

Jullian is absolutely swoon worthy as the billionaire that is focused on finding a blue-blooded wife to help him take his business to the next level. He thinks he has found this in Lilliana, a woman he's never met, but is engaged to after making a deal with her father. However, Lilliana has other ideas and has disappeared, forcing her twin, Holly, to take her place.

While the twin switch is a familiar trope, this is done with a fresh twist and told in an entertaining way. I found myself totally invested in the characters and engaged in their story - wanting them to get their HEA ending.

I absolutely loved this book and, if you're a fan of the genre, you will too. You can't go wrong with a book by this author and I have her on my must read authors' list. Put this one at the top of your TBR list.
