The Lucky Billionaire (Destination Billionaire Romance, #9)

by Jeanette Lewis

The Lucky Billionaire was everything I have come to expect from a book by Jeanette Lewis.  The story was a sweet, clean romance with hints of mystery and of humor.  The hero, Ty, was humble and maybe a little shy.  He was also very giving and loving towards his family, while hesitating on spending his money on himself.  His most extravagant "selfishness" was the purchase of a Mustang for himself, while expending whatever effort or money necessary to to care for his family came as second nature to him.

I loved the part where he was introducing Holland to the sheep ranch and to Cupcake, the family dog who was named by his younger sister.  When Holland commented on how adorable the name was, his response about how awkward it is to call the dog from across the way was fun.  How often do you think about things like that when you name your dog?

Though there was an element of mystery, someone burning down the Foundation's office and trying to run Ty over when he was jogging, the book was not overly suspenseful or scary.  And it was a very clean romance, with nothing beyond innocent kisses.

The fact that Ty was a billionaire was necessary for the plot - without this fact there would have been no need for Holland's services as an Image Consultant, but in many ways his money was incidental to the story.  I appreciated the fact that the story was not really about the fact that he was rich, nor did it insinuate that having money is important.
