Masquerading With the Billionaire
Guide to Love #4 By: Alexia Adams Releasing March 13, 2017 Entangled Indulgence
World-renowned jewelry designer Remington Wolfe is competing for the commission of a lifetime and someone is trying to destroy his company from the inside.
He’s in for more than one surprise when his unexpected rescuer turns out to be a sexy computer specialist with a sharp tongue and even sharper mind. Kat Smith is a cyber-security expert and master of disguise. So being assigned to masquerade as Wolfe’s girlfriend while she uncovers who slipped malicious code into his corporation’s computer systems is no problem. But when Kat’s past catches up to her and their fake relationship starts to feel a little too real, problems are all she seems to have.
A fun, witty, and sexy story that seamlessly flowed out of the pages delivering a tale of love, loss, and deceive. The layers of lies and falsity laying on every step of the way, putting the characters life on the edge and into a constant danger of being found out or being betrayed.
I enjoyed the characters immensely. They were interesting, had depth, smarts, unique wisdom and a broad worldview. That the author knew what she was talking about when she created these multinational characters was obvious, the cultural matters were so spot on, and the environments exact and legitimate giving the story credibility and validity. Remington Wolfe is not your typical billionaire. His wide understanding of life and people who grew up differently than himself was refreshing. Being neglected as a child was something that gave him and Kat something to bond over, making their connection from the first moment on more profound. Remington was kind, generous, and caring. His offer to let Kat cry on his arms melted my heart. Kat Smith was an amazing character. She had overcome more than most can even comprehend. Yet she had managed to make a life for herself, a good life with a bright future. As long as she is not caught in the web of lies her whole life exist on. I felt so connected to her, to the mix of languages in her mind, and longing for the home far away a long time ago that wasn't there anymore. Together Kat and Remington went from steaming hot to endearing and adorable in a heartbeat. Having watched Remington Steele on the television gave me a connection to the story that is unique, the images the tale created in my mind more specific. The elements of suspense and treachery brought intensity to the tale and helped to move the plot forward and the characters around the world. A well written, marvelously entertaining tale! ~ Four Spoons with a teaspoon on the side
She took a deep breath. “As I don’t have a UK work visa, though, your HR department might figure out that something’s up. The other option would be for me to pretend to be your girlfriend.” She winced as his foot slid off the clutch mid-shift, and the car protested his attempted gear change.
“What makes you think I don’t already have a girlfriend? I don’t double dabble.” She laughed, and he white-knuckled the gearshift. “Bonus points for the computer term. Have you been studying?” “A little. But I realized I was out of my depth and had to call in an expert.” The look he sent her this time implied he still doubted her credentials. He’d see soon that she knew her stuff. It probably wasn’t fair that she knew so much about him when, as shown by the fake cat-lady photo, he knew nothing about her. “I’m an expert. For example, I know that unless you’ve switched to more discreet female companionship, your last intimate relationship ended five weeks ago. She claimed you were, and I quote, ‘emotionally unavailable.’ But judging by the number of photos on Instagram of her kissing her dog, I assume you got tired of your girlfriend tasting like Shih Tzu.” His laugh filled the car and drew an answering smile from her. “You’re not wrong. But how did you know I broke up with her? Maybe she shattered my heart?” “Because shortly after your name stopped appearing in her social media feeds, she was suddenly sporting an expensive-looking tennis bracelet. I doubt men who get their heart shattered give their exes break-up jewelry.” He shrugged but his face was still lit by a smile. “I write it off as a marketing expense.” “I bet you have a whole line of relationship termination pieces.” “True. I call it the ejection collection. Makes me a fortune.” “Well, rest assured, I won’t be demanding any rocks if we go the fake girlfriend routine. Smacks of payment for services rendered to me.” That elicited a raised eyebrow. “Will services be rendered? This is sounding like the better option.”
