Lotta

I may be a total princess, but I’m not looking for a prince. Or even my usual type of wealthy, overly-groomed playboy.

I’m done with smooth. I want a bit of rough. A real man, with a real job. One who’s good with his hands and not afraid to get them dirty.

Someone exactly like the foreman on the new community project my team’s volunteering on.

Aide. He’s delicious. Even his name says “I know how to get the job done”. And his demeanour says “I could have you moaning in five seconds flat”.

Aide

Carlotta Montefiore-Charlton is as ridiculous as her name. She’s a pampered princess who’s totally out of her depth on a building site.

Even her bras are incompetent at doing their basic job.

Usually, I’d run a mile from a woman like her. But she looks like an angel, and I can’t stay away.

It seems I’m her “bang a poor guy” project. It’s not on me that she’s underestimated my bank balance.

By eight or nine zeroes.

She has me all wrong.

I can’t be her Mr Right.

The Reluctant Billionaire is a super spicy, swoony, laugh-out-loud romcom with a HEA and cameos by some characters from my Love in London series. It's perfect for fans of Lucy Score, Pippa Grant, Melanie Harlow, Claire Kingsley and Meghan Quinn.

Spicy with good plot

Little quick in some areas for plot but spicy and good amount of those scenes!

More Spice than Story

This was hyped all over Tik Tok. If you want audio or book porn - you wont be disappointed. I just prefer a better ratio of spice to story.

Loved this book!

Loved this book by Sara Madderson. It was hilarious, spicy and super heartwarming. Kudos to her writing and Shane East and Zara Hampton-Brown's narration.

So freaking HOT!

Shane and Zara killed it! Oh my gosh.. I felt like I was right there in the room during all those hot AF scenes! Great characters with a great plot! You won’t be disappointed.

Not Shy on the 🌶️

I like the performance of this audio book. The story itself could have used a little complexity but if you’re after some 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ this won’t disappoint! Still enjoyed the book, I’m not very picky and read yo be entertained, I was entertained.

Loved EVERY BIT OF THIS STORY AND NARRATION

Everything was just amazing, from the narrations, the spice, the banter. The grumpy sunshine dynamic. Just perfection

Ok narration. Lots of spice. No real plot.

Very spicy but basically no storyline. I was really pretty disappointed. I had higher hopes since it made the rounds on BookTok.

Not my cup of tea

The premise was okay. Kind of a traditional love story at heart, but there was a lot of filler. Some chapters brought up things that really could’ve been left out like Aiden’s family. There was way to much focus on the ultra rich lifestyle with descriptions of everything from the fashion (including the type of fabrics used in the clothing) to the decor of every house, office, charity event etc. None of which developed the character or the plot. I chose the audiobook based on a social media recommendation but wish I hadn’t wasted my money. I only finished the book because I had spent money on it. Far better out there.

Boring

Horrible overly dramatic narrators and boring story. It’s really the female narrator that I can’t bear. But I’m not sure if it’s the writing or how it’s read?
