First off, I want to say that I was given an electronic ARC from the publisher through Netgalley for free, in return for an honest review.

This was a 4.5 star read, but I'm rounding up to 5 stars. First, lets cover the amazing things about this book that warranted high praise for me. I love the fake dating trope, and I believe the set up that brought the hero and heroine together made sense for the story and wasn't too unbelievable like some set-ups can be (but typically that is par for the course in the trope genre). I loved the hero, though I didn't completely remember his physical description, I filled in my husbands attributes. I love the way his POV is written specifically, as it shows a man that is just simply enamoured by a woman and kinda obsessed. My favorite thing is when a guy just sees the women as some beautiful treasure. I enjoyed the wholesome nature of Maisie, but sometimes she didn't strike me as terribly dynamic (maybe she is just genuinely so sunshine that very little troubles her). For instance, she is tunneling her way through fixing up her grandparents estate that they left to her, fixing things as she goes, in a way tackling the debt of neverending repairs, and forgotten taxes. The dogs were adorable, but sometimes they were given far more humanization in their actions and understanding than I thought was realistic (but again it is fiction). My dogs personally are incredibly dumb, bless their souls. Back to the romantic dynamic, I genuinely got butterflies and foot kicking joy when reading their scenes together whether it was the hero or heroines perspective.

Now to what I hate, Jillian is genuinely despicable (but I'm sure we are meant to hate her). I think the Glenna Dare is kinda a satire of Taylor Swift (hilarious, but the character was insufferable, and idk if TSwift truly needed this, lol).

Overall, I'm so happy that I got a chance to read this book and review it. It was so much fun that I finished it in one sitting minus a break to grab a midnight coffee.

fun and nice read, not enough depth or things happening for my liking but still sweet. now that I'm looking at the cover I'm a bit confused at the guy's hair color, it was described as blonde in the beginning but it's dark on the cover 🧍‍♀️ nevermind. I really enjoyed it but maybe because I wasn't expecting much, looking back the characters feel a bit two dimensional and the plot might be too smooth and linear, I wish there had been more bumps in the road tbh😢

Thank you to Jennifer St James and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
"
My Billionaire Fake Boyfriend" by Jennifer St. James is a delightful romantic comedy that had me smiling from start to finish. As a dog lover myself, I couldn't resist the charm of Maisie and her pack of senior shelter dogs. The chemistry between Maisie and Brad is undeniable, and their fake relationship turned real had me swooning.

While the premise was cute and the characters were endearing, I did feel like there could have been more depth to their connection. Despite this, I couldn't help but root for them to find their happily ever after. The author's writing style is engaging and the story flows effortlessly, making it a perfect escape after a long day.

If you're a fan of rom-coms, fake dating tropes, and furry friends, "My Billionaire Fake Boyfriend" is a heartwarming read that will leave you with a smile on your face. Jennifer St. James brings humor, romance, and a touch of steam to this charming story.

This is a super cute and swoony romance.. I liked it very much.. It is sweet and charming, with lovely characters. Definitely a relaxing read after stressful day.

First of all, I LOVED this book. Once I read the first chapter, I was sucked in and couldn't stop, mainly because I am a dog mom of 4 mixed rescued dogs. ( 2 huskies, 1 lab, and 1 mixed terrier.) And a KITTY! I also love doing charities for rescue and was previously a foster mom for puppies without a doggy momma.

Anyways back to the book. I really enjoyed the rescue dog part with an actor entering into the mix of trying to help out while avoiding his ex-girlfriend, who is a singer and song rider who gives off a TOXIC version of Taylor Swift. (Genna writes and sings songs about Brad - her now ex. Huge Swifty fan, but Glenna is 😬) lol

Not only do you get to know the main characters of the story, each dog also has their own unique quirk, which as a dog mom, is soooo 100% true! Loved everyone's personality; it fit them pretty well!

If you love a good rom-com, dogs! (You must love dogs! 😉) Or even a quick, fun read, this is for you!

I typically love fake dating but “My Billionaire Fake Boyfriend” was just slightly off the mark for me! I thought the premise was incredibly cute and I loved Maisie but there was just something about her relationship with Brad that I couldn’t make myself feel invested in them! Aside from the cuteness of Maisie’s pack of senior dogs, I didn’t really see them bond over much but I wanted to root for them so badly and I was disappointed that I couldn’t.

There was nothing bad whatsoever but there wasn’t much that set it apart from the rest of the genre! I would still recommend giving the book a shot, especially if you love fake dating, celebrity romances, and dogs.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Elewyn Publishing, and Jennifer St. James for the ARC so I could give my thoughts!
