Love sucks.

Every time Beatrice Hammersmith falls for a guy, he breaks her heart and steals her appliances. It’s no fun sleeping alone and waking up without a coffeemaker.

Fed up, Beatrice hatches a plan with two other women to find true love and marry billionaires. First on their agenda is to capture the heart of hottie billionaire, Cole Stevens. Cole is handsome, brilliant, and he owns his own appliances.

Operation Billionaire sends the three new friends (and one of their mothers and a passel of children) to Cole’s ranch to make him fall in love with Beatrice. But their plans run into some trouble.

It’s not so easy to bag a billionaire. Will Beatrice find love with Cole?

Will she marry the billionaire of her dreams? How to Marry a Billionaire is the first book in the hot and hilarious new trilogy by the author of the Matchmaker books.

This is a full-length, hot and hilarious novel, perfect for fans of billionaire romance, beach reads, and romantic comedy.

Review 

I usually break these reviews down into characters and plot, but I'm not going to do that with this book because it was absolutely ridiculous. But, lets be clear, it was ridiculous in the best way possible. I laughed my behind off reading this book, it was literally laugh out loud funny. The dialogue between characters was hilarious. Beatrice, Olivia, and Rosalind are hilarious. You couldn't find three more different women than these unlikely friends, but circumstances collude to bring them together when their chips are down and the resulting mayhem is, well, hilarious. 

The friendships in this book are so much fun, but the romance is completely and utterly implausible. Beatrice is in love with Cole, who she hasn't met by the way, and is going to be in the same place as him for a week. In response to their proximity and while completely drunk, she and her new friends cook up Operation Billionaire in order to snag Cole. Okay, maybe, but the speed at which this romance moves is completely not possible. Even if she had known him before hand, the romance in this book goes from zero to 100 in just under two days. No one falls in love that fast. Later, when Cole finds out about Operation Billionaire he gets mad and gets over it so fast I got whiplash. This book's plot is simply not possible, all the way through.

But, the magic of this book is that it doesn't need to make sense. It's a fairytale sort of romance situation that every most women knows isn't possible, but come on, who wouldn't want a billionaire cowboy to just happen to fall in love with them in under a week? I mean, that sounds dreamy to me (don't tell my husband!). It's a book, not real life, it doesn't have to be possible! It is okay, once in a while, for a book not to take itself too seriously.

While, normally, I do prefer my romcoms to be a bit more realistic, this book was a light, fun read that helped cleanse my palate from all the heavy dark romance I tend to indulge in. Much fun was hand reading this one.

❤❤❤❤ - Delightful. I recommend this one for fun with the caveat that I told you it was utterly ridiculous and completely unrealistic. But, I still liked it!
