About this ebook

 Summer St. Croix hates weddings. But when she meets hot-as-sinLuke Vanetti at her oldest friend’s ceremony, he promises to give her a reason to like them.

It’s all sexy fun and games until Summer realizes that Luke is none other than her new boss. Summer refuses to continue to have a fling with her superior, even though the passion between them still runs wildfire hot. But the billionaire private investigator doesn’t see the problem, especially since he knows that one night with Summer won’t be enough.

When Luke’s cousin sends an SOS asking for help in stopping a ring of jewel thieves from robbing his luxury hotel on the Amalfi Coast, Luke agrees. And Summer’s first assignment will be posing as his very sexy, rich, and bejeweled fiancée  at the Hotel dei Fiori Isola del Sole.

Playing the happy couple is hard enough during the day, but the nights… will those romantic Amalfi nights turn the charade into more than just a job for both Summer and Luke… for good?

Ratings and reviews

A cute short read. Summer St. Croix meets Luke Vanetti at a friend's wedding and their mutual attractions leads to what Summer considered to be a one night stand. But when she walks in the door for her new job on Monday morning she is floored to learn that Luke is one of her new bosses. Paired together to go undercover posing as a newly engaged couple, Luke and Summer must identify and stop jewel thieves before they rob another luxury hotel and ruin Luke's cousins wedding. The only problem with this undercover gig is that Luke and Summer have to convince everyone they are madly in love which means lots of PDA which leaves them both hot and bothered. Can these two keep it strictly business or will the spark that igniting a one night stand leave them both going up in flames. I received an eARC of this book compliments of the publisher for my honest review and opinion. All ratings and opinions stated are my own.

My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars The Billionaire's Charade was a pleasant surprise. As a regular reader of Ms. Gaddy's work I am familiar with many of her stories. What was so different about this one is that the plot contained intrigue along with romance. Although not what I expected it proved to be an ideal fit. In fact I was attracted more because I was anticipating what would happen next. Summer had no idea that attending a friend's wedding would change her life. In a shocking twist she has a one-night stand with unbeknownst to her, her new boss. Now they have to work together without letting their emotional baggage get in the way. I received an ARC of The Billionaire's Charade in exchange for an honest review. An intoxicating, edge of the seat love story that is funny and sexy.

This was a fun, light, sexy read and I thoroughly enjoyed it! For someone who has recently gone through major heartbreak, a wedding is the last place you want to be. So when Summer St. Croix meets the incredibly handsome Luke Vanetti and they decide to ditch the reception and make some fun of their own, no problem, right? Wrong!! When Summer shows up for the first day of work at her new job and finds out Luke is actually one of her bosses, the fun doesn't seem quite worth it. Add the fact that her first assignment is to accompany Luke, posing as a happily engaged couple, to an exclusive resort to add an additional layer of security for an upcoming wedding and yeah, the situation is a bit strained!! I highly recommend this one! It's well written, and I loved these characters. A very fun read!
