Name: Mr. Rich
Rating: 3.50 (2 reviews)

This is one of those super generic covers that you could slap on thousand other books, and it would work just as well. I think a model in a suit would have worked better. The composition is off as well with the placement of the title and authors name. So ya, not a huge fan of this one.

I enjoyed this one. There wasn't anything particularly earth shattering about it but I found it to be well-written and nicely paced. Both main characters were fairly likable. The heroine was a little naive, and annoying at times, but not enough for it to bother me. Bastian, I really liked. There wasn't any OW/OM drama and not much angst. The ending was cute, but I would have liked to have seen a more into the future look at the couple.

All in all, it was a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours.

Mr. Rich is one of those books that make you sigh while reading it. With characters that you can relate to and a plotline that will make you laugh and cry, Mr. Rich is the perfect book to read if you are laying out by the pool or on the beach. Just make sure that you don’t have nosey people reading over your shoulder because the sex scenes are definitely not PG.

Julia had to be one of my favorite characters in the last 10 books that I have read. She was just a regular 20 something working at a dead-end job, trying to make ends meet and reflecting on her past mistakes. She was snarky and couldn’t keep her mouth shut. I loved her. If she was real, she totally would have been my BFF. I did think that her past, while sucky, did shape her. It made her cautious about trusting people and she refused to let anyone close. I died laughing when she found the pictures of him on the Internet and got yelled at by the customer.

Bastian is hands down one of my favorite male characters in the last 10 books that I have read. I just wish that he had been a little more open about his battle with lupus with Julia. He definitely lived up to his nickname “Big Sexy” in all ways…wink wink.

The romance between Bastian and Julia was one of the sweetest that I have read. Their feelings for each other was very tangible while reading it. What I didn’t understand is why there had to be a love triangle between Bastian, Julia, and Ryland. It added drama that I thought really wasn’t needed in the book. Julia’s personal drama, in my opinion, was more than enough.

The sex scenes between Bastian and Julia were insanely hot. While I was reading the first scene, I basically had the same thought as Julia when she saw Bastian’s package “Will it fit”….lol. Well, not only did it fit but it definitely fit well. LOL.

The ending was sweet. I think I cried when Bastian tracked Julia down (read the book to find out why). The epilogue really made me cry. Talk about romantic!!

How many stars will I give Mr. Rich: 4
