I received this book complimentary from NetGalley but all opinions are my own.
I definitely liked this. I liked the characters and I liked Devlin’s eventual shift - it wasn’t too much. It was just enough to show that he had changed but not too much to be utterly unbelievable. Allie was charming, moreso than Devlin. I appreciated the storylines and how it all worked out. I liked the setting and I really like the Mistletoe Ball. It was a cute way to show Devlin’s changes. I liked that he started there - I wish it had been more clear that he had been trying the whole year they are separated.

A fun, entertaining holiday romance.
I felt an immediate connection to Allie and her struggle to hang on to her mother. I also had an immediate aversion to Devlin, his snarkiness and high-handed attitude were hard to relate to. Clear cases of being a Product of your Environment.
As the story unfolds, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Devlin showed that he had more in common with his sweetheart of a father than his nasty, privileged sister, Sissy.
All-in-all this was a fun holiday romance. I highly recommend the purchase of this story. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you Linda West and NetGalley for allowing me this advanced copy in exchange for my honest feedback.

My Billionaire Fake Finance by Linda west was a truly laugh out loud funny romance read. Devlin needs a fiance to seal a deal. Allie needs a Christmas miracle to save her home. It had everything you need in a book... humor, drama, and great variety of secondary characters which is a big plus for me.

A fantastic Christmas read and I loved it. Would highly recommend if you looking a nice, short, relaxing read this holiday season.

This was my first book from Linda West and I plan on checking out more books in the future!

Allie saw her neighbor-Mr. Aikens and he asked if he saw her get out of an Uber down the block. She said no it was an ex- not ex- boyfriend. Allie still hadn’t gotten used to the ex part. Her ex Shane had officially after left her two years ago, one day after her mother had lost her long battle with cancer she hadn’t the heart to tell her dad Shane had left her when she needed him the most. Allie kept saying he was busy. It was hard enough for Allie to deal with the fact he bailed on her at the worst time of her life. At twenty seven she wasn’t jaded but was scarred. Christmas had been tough since her mother passed away. It’s all Shane’s fault fault. He talked her into going to college in the city in the city, drawing together and forever after. Than he left her for an Icelandic blonde intern at the dean’s office. Then he stopped driving her to to college at the request of Ms. Sweden. That is why Allie hated men now. You give them everything, than they disappear when they’re done using you. Her father told Allie he had to sell the house as he had used the house as well as his business-Archer Premium- for leverage for her mother's hospital bills. Allie told her father he couldn’t sell her moms house. He said he’d been trying to save the house. But he hadn’t been able to catch up Allie loved the house and had planned to live there the rest of her life. They needed two hundred thousand dollars to save the house. She needed some creative way to get two hundred thousand dollars without needing to pay it back. Christmas had always been Allie’s favorite time of the year. Allie hated the Somersets. They were everything she abhorred about humanity. They were also her family’s benefactors in a way. Somersets were blue bloods of long island but lived in New Jersey now . old money and owners of Somerset enterprises. The younger Somerset Devlan had taken over the run of the company a bit ago. Than her father said he couldn’t be santa for the Christmas party at the homeless center. Allie said she would drive Devlan as she had been driving for her dad since she was old enough. She would drive even in this bad weather. Devlan Somerset was a piece of chiseled man art. Everything about him screamed rich. But Allie knew first hand what a spoiled jerk Devlan really was. Devlan was to meet with his family In vermont at their ski chalet in the mountains for a holiday. Devlan had been getting everything he wanted since he took his first golden breathe. He was with a woman who was a porn star-Sofia- and he wanted her to act toned down and dress more conservative. She got mad and made Allie stop the car she got out and got into a cab right away. Allie said she’d act as his fiance for four days for two hundred thousand dollars. Devlan had no option but to accept but he had to make her look like someone he would be engaged to.
This was an awesome Christmas read. I absolutely loved it. This caught my attention from the beginning and held my attention until the end. I read this in one setting I just didn’t want to put this down so I lost some sleep but that was okay because I loved the ending to. I loved Devlan and Allie together. I loved how Devlan’s father had been so nice to Allie when she was younger. I couldn’t stand Sissy, she thought she was God’s gift to humanity and above everyone else and so selfish. She was a witch and cruel and devious. I loved seeing devlan grow and choosing honesty also. I loved how the author brought in saving the environment and the rain forest . I loved the pace and plot. I loved Devlan and Allie together. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book. I highly recommend this.

My Billionaire Fake Fiance is the perfect book to read with the upcoming holiday season! It is a classic hate to love storyline. It's about Allie Archer fighting to save her family home by pretending to be engaged to billionaire Devlin Somerset. There are a lot of moments where claws were out but there were also some very tender moments.

I really loved this book and will be buying a hard copy of it! It is easily my new favorite book and I am hoping that a movie is made! It is the perfect Hallmark movie waiting to be made! My Billionaire Fake Fiance deserves all five stars and I can't recommend this book enough!

Billionaire Fake Fiance by Linda West was fun, relatable, and easy to read. She grabbed my attention from start to finish.

Allie and Delvin had great chemistry even when they both thought the worst of each other. Their banter was fun to read. However I questioned the way both of them returned to their relationship which was exactly if not farther than where they left off after a very long time of zero communication. Aside from that I enjoyed and believed their love story. It was truly a Christmas love story.

My Billionaire Fake Fiancé by Linda West, was a heartwarming, friends to lovers read I couldn't put down! I read it in two nights AND the only reason I didn't finish night one was
because of a family gathering!

Two arch rivals from a completely different social class find love at Christmastime, due to a angry ex Fiancé and chauffer's daughter. Allie is tasked to chauffer Devlin and his fiancé to his families estate for Christmas. Little does she know that by the end of the trip she will be his leading lady. Well, that's at least what they will be telling his family.

It was my first read from author Linda West but I enjoyed her style of writing from the very beginning. I don't always enjoy a story written in first person but she did it effortlessly. I felt like I was taking the journey along with the main characters.

I appreciated that the author didn't take the billionaire cliché to far. Yes, I knew that was part of the story but her ability to make Devlin seem "normal" was welcomed. She didn't have Devlin whisking Allie away in his private jet or making the windows in his office turn cloudy for privacy with a click of a button. I have actually read a novel where the glass does that in some hot rich guys office. That's just WAY to much for me!

The banter between the main characters is downright funny. A novel that can make me laugh and pulls at the heartstrings is a win-win in my eyes.

This novel gets 5 stars from me and I guarantee this will not be the last novel I read by this author. Check out her website and a link to buy the book below.

Love this Christmas story!
From the first page, I was swept up in Allie Archer’s riotous world of helping family, saving the planet and slamming the door in romantic love’s face. Deliciously arrogant Devlin Somerset is a perfect Prince Charming in the making. The story made me laugh – a lot! – but also had me gasping more than once at some wonderfully executed twists. My Billionaire Fake Fiance is a Christmas sweet’n’sassy romance that delivers on all fronts. Now I’m eager to check out the connected stories by Linda West!

I enjoyed this story and it was a good introduction for me to this author. I thought that the cover was fun and the blurb really intrigued me and I was keen to start the story.

I thought that the characters were well developed.

The detail was good and the author did try to build up a good flow for the story but I will be honest as I personally found the story to be a little sketchy in places. It didn't spoil the story too much but I have had to reflect this in my rating. If you piece the story together it does run quite smooth and the book had a lot of potential.

It is 3.5 stars from me for this one.

My Billionaire Fake Finance by Linda west was so much more than I expected. Devlin and Allie both need something from each other. No one would ever think these two could have a serious relationship. Devlin seems vain and all about himself and his image. Allie is an activist, and simple kind of girl.

This romance did have your typical love story, but with a twist. I absolutely loved the characters, and I found it hard to put the book down.

He needs a fiance to seal a deal. She needs a Christmas miracle to save her home.
Devlin is a sexy billionaire with a successful company that supplies boxes to Bamazon. Allie is an activist trying to save the trees. When these two opposites are forced to strike up a deal the fickle snow flurries of fate send them down a destined road they never expected.

.
I started this book yesterday and finished it late yesterday afternoon. I have not done that in a very long time. I tell ya these holiday books get me every time! I am a complete sucker for them!
This book was a very easy quick read that keep me wanting more. I feel in love with the two main characters and felt the emotions right alongside them both. I laughed and I’ll be honest even shed a few tears.
While this book is your typical “sappy” romance I didn’t get that “oh come on, really” vibe from it. You do have to keep in mind the author wrote the character Devlin as a billionaire so his use of spending money is probably accurate.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed this book there were a few things I didn’t like. I had a hard time with the name Devlin, was it supposed to be Devin? I saw it spelled out Devin a few times. Not sure why but that bothered me. Second thing was the ending, it felt so rushed and written in a weird way. I would have liked a little more information in the year that passed by.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author but you can guarantee I’m going to pick up the rest of them! If you like sappy romance books with a little holiday flair, I highly suggest it!

Thank you to Netgalley, and the author Linda West for the copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I really liked My Billionaire Fake Fiance! It was a sweet romance with very funny moments from start to finish. I enjoyed Allie and Devlin. Their bantering throughout the story was so much fun to read. Devlin was a jerk with Allie at the beginning and put her down due to her looks or social standing, but Allie always had a great comeback (sometimes just in her head). But you could see that the more time they spent with each other the more they understood each other and that they both had suffered a loss when they were young and were still learning how to deal with it.
The only thing that it didn't make it a five star review was the amount of time that passed before they could reach their HEA. The time separated was a little too much, but how he made up to her was awesome!
