BOOK REVIEW: Marry Your Billionaire, by C. J. Anaya
Marry Your BillionaireExploring the fallacies of Reality TV along with the deceit and desperation of those who attempt to find true love or at least a comfortable life by finding a billionaire husband Midge is dragged into this situation by her father, Corbin Knightly, a producer/director now traversing the niche of reality TV.
After six years of estrangement from her father, caused by Midge wanting her own life and not wanting to go into the business of her farther, Corbin sends for Midge with an offer to reinstate her trust fund provided she appear on his Reality TV program. Since she needed the money for her last semester of schooling, she agrees with the thought in mind that she would be eliminated during the first rounds of elimination.
That did not happen since the billionaire who was the object of the program had a previous run-in with Midge and thought he was in love with her. In the end, he refused to eliminate her and Midge became the third wheel standing between Brody Prescott the billionaire who had a damaged image caused by a woman scorned spreading lies and Felicia Davenport the perpetrator of the damaged image of Brody Prescott.
Midge, who refused to believe in Brody’s confessions of love for her, based on a scheme she overheard between her father and Brody which left her thinking this was all about manipulation, the problem with this is that she only overheard part of the conversation before anger stirred and she left in a huff.
A one dimensional love story – how it started, how if flounder, how it was reinvigorated and the devious schemes perpetrated by Felicia to get the billionaire of her dreams, if only for his money - the book rarely deviate from this theme.
There were some twists and turns in this read. However, by it being so one dimensional, all based on the devious intentions of Felicia and Brody’s non-relenting pursuit of Midge, the story was told in a way that at times pulled you into the drama. A fun read for a young adult or those who want a peek behind the scenes of these Reality TV shows that seem to be on the rise.
