Book Review : 'Marry Your Billionaire' by C.J. Anaya

My Rating

Book Name : Marry your Billionaire
Author : C.J.Anaya
Genre : Romance

Blurb : Six years ago, Midge Knightly walked away from her trust fund, her Hollywood producer father, and the expectation that she would join the family business. Avoiding handsome playboys with hidden agendas was just an added bonus. Now one semester shy of graduation, she is shocked to discover her scholarship has lost its funding.
Her estranged father is having problems of his own. A contestant on his latest reality TV series has canceled two months before shooting.
His solution?
 Midge gets her trust fund back if she stands in as a potential marriage candidate for the dating series Marry Your Billionaire. Twenty women competing for one arrogant guy. Not Midge's cup of tea. Agreeing to this proposition sucks her back into the world she happily broke ties from, but no trust fund equals no college degree.
Brody Prescott, CEO, and owner of an online dating company has recently been pegged as a heartless playboy-among other things by a disgruntled female after a disappointing date.
His solution?
Become the first bachelor on Marry Your Billionaire and hope that one of the contestants holds some potential. So what is he supposed to do when the woman who intrigues him the most wants to be eliminated?
Marry Your Billionaire is a fun, romantic romp set against the backdrop of reality TV. Throw on your PJ's, grab some chocolate and popcorn, and settle in for an entertaining love story.

Book from My Eyes : 'Marry your Billionaire', by the name and by first few pages of the book I got an impression that this book is going to be too much inspired by 'Fifty Shades' series as the guy is billionaire, the girl is into literature and they both were mesmerized by each other on the first site. But as the story progressed, I was proved wrong and honestly speaking I am really happy for that. I loved the way the story flow, I completely felt like watching a reality show on  TV. 

Thumbs Up:

• Characterization is done very neatly. Each character continued the way it started. I loved, adored Midge, always been in awe of Brody Prescott, hated Corbin Knightly for being such a ruthless and business oriented man and then somehow started loving him.
• Brody Prescott has been portrayed as perfect dream man for every girl. The chemistry between them, even without any erotic scene, is sizzling and to die for.
• Though the story line is about a boy meets girls and does everything possible to achieve her, a very common plot for all love story, but served in a completely new taste. 
• The story is written in multiple POV. Most common mistake authors make with multiple POV is, the narration of all the POVs sounds similar but that was not the case with 'Marry your Billionaire'. Each POV is unique and can be identified differently from others.
• Cheese and Crackers & Sweet Maple Syrup! These phrases have been used too much but now I find myself saying the same consciously or unconsciously.

Thumbs Down 

• Initial few pages are two fast. Once in a while, I felt like the author is in a hurry to go to sets of the reality show 'Marry your Billionaire'.
• The concept of hacking has been overused and sometimes it seemed logically flawed. Lisa could hack into anyone's computer any moment without even knowing the proxy, network or anything, seemed a bit bizarre to me.
• I hated the cover of the book. This book deserves a far better cover.

Verdict : Cheese and Crackers & Sweet Maple Syrup!! This book earned C.J.Anaya a dedicated fan and I would definitely look forward reading all her previous and coming novels. But this book is a definite read.
