Description

Jess Green has had to fight for everything she has. When she sees her future about to slide into an abyss thanks to an offhand comment made by her sexy but oblivious boss, Alistair Beaumont, she decides to take things into her own hands. Everyone in the financial world knows the Beaumont brothers need to settle down else the company that Jess depends upon will go under. So when Alistair is overheard discussing his disbelief in love and marriage the company stock price plunges. When Alistair suffers a bout of amnesia on a skiing trip, Jess sees a way to save the company and decides to tell him one teeny, tiny lie: she’s his fiancée.


Alistair loves one thing and one thing only—his freedom—and certainly not the girl he finds in his bed, claiming to be his future wife. Amnesia or not, something’s not right. Sure, she’s got that girl-next-door sexiness about her, and his attraction to her is powerful, but deep in his gut he’s rebelling against the idea of being tied down. However, snowed in and isolated from the world in an exclusive lodge, Alistair begins to believe they are a couple and against all odds, he actually finds himself falling in love.


But when Alistair gets his memories back, will he choose to stay with Jess who he can’t get out of his mind—or out of his heart—or will he choose to take back the freedom he’s always craved?

Jess Green has had to fight for everything she has. When she sees her future about to slide into an abyss thanks to an offhand comment made by her sexy but oblivious boss, Alistair Beaumont, she...

Alistair was Jess’s boss and he needed a girlfriend A S A P . It was Jess’s task to find him a fake one. Alistair was too disinterested and too busy himself. Jess micromanages every part of Alistair’s life now including his love life. Alistair had a rotating door of women in his calendar and dinner reservations; almost none of them appeared twice. Jess’s path was clear: stay employed, stash away money and no relationships period. Her job was her boyfriend and would stay that way for a long time. Alistair’s fake relationship has to be believed by his grandmother the family’s staunch matriarch. If his grandmother sold his grandfather's shares in the company it would fold according to Alistair. Alistair’s unorthodox approach to work and hiring process was totally frustrating Jess. But at the same time she a mere H S graduate with an incredible knack for micromanaging and just enough smarts to fake a college degree slipped through the cracks. There was no way she could make the same salary if Jess worked outside of B3 Engines. If Jess lost her job she couldn’t get herself back to college. Then Jess got a call from a man with a German accent. Alistair was in Austria and had been in an accident and someone needed to get there as soon as possible. Then she listened to the hospital liaison : ski accident, head injury, unknown extent of trauma. She needed to find a flight to Austria that night. Alistair had amnesia.he didn’t remember his childhood, his career and his future. When Jess went into Alistair’s hospital room, he didn’t know who she was but he knew that he knew her. She said she was Jess , his fiancee. Alistair’s brother Gregor talked her into showing up and saying she was Alistair's fiance for the company. Jess went for it so she could achieve her dream and become an architect. Jess knew a part of her had longed for Alistair since day one.
I absolutely loved this book. I was hooked from the first page until the last . I loved the author’s description of Austria which I hope to visit this summer. I loved Jess and Alistair together and how they interacted. I read this in one sitting as I didn’t want to put this down. I couldn’t find anything to criticize in this book- happily. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend it.

As an assistant, Jessica Green (Jess) is put in an awful and tough position when her boss, Alistair Beaumont, needs a girlfriend and needs one fast. After Alistair’s grandfather passed away, his two brothers and himself had just eighteen months to be married after his passing. Ifnot, they will lose their business. With the work ethic that Jess has, she made it her mission to find the perfect girl. Interviewing tons of girls, she finally finds one that is the perfect fit and meets all of his qualifications.

After leaving for a last minute ski trip in Austria, Alistair gets into an accident which results in a minor head injury and some memory loss. Jess stops everything and get on a plain to Austria. While on the plane Jess call’s one of Alistair’s brothers to inform him of what is going on. He suggests that she pretends to be his Fiancé.

I really enjoyed this book. You could really tell that Jess was conflicted throughout the entire story, she knew what she was doing was wrong but thought it was the best and only option for Alastair. This book was a breath of fresh air.

I enjoyed Jess and Alistair’s chemistry and felt that they both balanced out each other, even when the truth came to the surface. This is a fun, steamy, adventurous and full of passion. It easily kept my attention and when I wasn't able to read it, I was thinking about what might happen next. Overall it is well written and very enjoyable to read! I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars!!

The Billionaire’s Fake Fiancé
By: Leslie North

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

In the second book about The Beaumont Brothers we get to watch Alistair and Jess fumble through love.

She was looking to find a way to save her job when she flew off to Austria. Alistair really put his foot in his mouth this time when he said he didn't believe in love or the trappings of marriage. When he had his accident it couldn't have come at a better time for Jess. Using the ruse of being his fiancé with his temporary memory loss was brilliant. But will this ruse come back and bite her in the butt when feelings start to surface?

I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines that are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

5 Stars for The Billionaire’s False Fiancé by Leslie North

ARC received from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review - opinions expressed are my own ...

You will love Alistair & Jess’s story - this is book 2 in the Beaumont brothers series it can be read as a complete standalone.

Alistair is in a skiing accident & awakes in the hospital with amnesia - Jess is called as she is the emergency contact in his phone. Upon arriving in Austria she decides to act the role as Alistair’s fiancé but she isn’t acting - she has loved her boss for 2 years & would ❤️ nothing more for their relationship to be a real one.

Jess wants to tell Alistair the truth but when he regains his memory he is angry at her deception- it’s only after the fact he realizes that what he also felt for her is love.

This is a quick delightful read !! I’m so glad these two found their HEA !! There is a great surprise coming as well at the end!!

You will throughly enjoy this book !!

I would like to thank Leslie North and Netgalley for this copy of another exciting installment of the Beaumont Brothers.

Jess Green works for the Beaumont Brothers company as Alistair Beaumont's PA. What he doesn't know is that she's got the hots for him. Alistair Beaumont and his brothers own B3 and in their grandfather's clause is that they must find their true love within 18 months of his passing. Alistair has had an accident in a skiing trip, he's lost his memory. Can Jess fake being his fiancee to save the company and her job or will Alistair remember exactly who she is and is he really engaged to her or does he really WANT to be with her at all. All will be in the second installment of The Beaumont Brothers series.
