Once Upon a Billionaire by Jessica Clare - Rating 5 Stars



Sigh...this was just really cute.  I've been really impressed by Clare's entire Billionaire Boys Club series.  They're really fun, they don't take themselves too seriously, there's a nice amount of steam, and the characters are real - definitely flawed, and perfectly imperfect.  

In this addition to the series, we are faced with snobbish Griffin, a  modern day Viscount, who's really only been portrayed as a pompous ass in the other books.  When his longtime assistant winds up with Chicken Pox on the eve of his royal cousin's wedding, Griffin has no choice but to ask his friend Hunter for help.  Hunter's assistant Maylee, is hopeless but earnest.  We've met her briefly before and she was definitely memorable.  She's a hard worker but, having grown up in the backwoods of Arkansas, she doesn't know anything about city life - and more importantly, she doesn't know anything about Royal life. But Griffin is desperate and...well, at least she can tie a tie, which is more than can be said for him.  He takes her along to his home country, which I'm pretty sure is made up, but sounds magical.  Once there, Maylee has to keep up with Griffin's demanding schedule, deal with members of the royal family, and put up with grumpy Griffin himself, who is determined to change her into what he sees as the perfect assistant.  There are a few misadventures, and as is to be expected, the two grow closer together over time.  And soon it is Maylee who is changing Griffin - again, nothing surprising there. 

If you are in the mood for a bit of cheese, a nice, safe and predictable story, and are given to swoon-worthy moments, then read this sweet book.  It made me happy, and I think - if you're into that sort of thing - if will make you happy too.
