Once upon a Billionaire by Jessica Clare
Book description: The Billionaire Boys Club is a secret society of six men who have vowed success—at any cost. Not all of them are old money, but all of them are incredibly wealthy. They’re just not always as successful when it comes to love…
As a member of the royal family in a small European country, Griffin Verdi’s presence is requested at the wedding of the century. The scholarly billionaire feels out of his depth in social situations, so a good assistant is required—especially when dealing with royal etiquette.
Unfortunately for Griffin, he’s stuck with Maylee Meriweather, a pretty, charming, and thoroughly unsuitable woman who doesn’t know a thing about high society—but she sure can kiss. Her lack of polish may sink Griffin, because after all, even his money can’t buy class. But through Maylee’s eyes, he’s starting to appreciate the simple things in life—if simple means the most complicated woman he’s ever met.
Maylee is everything Griffin isn’t—and everything he wants—if he can let down his guard and step outside his sheltered world…

What I thought:
****
I liked this story more than I thought I would. The fact that the love between royalty and a 'commoner' is so unexpected was a great and refreshing twist.
There's so many books around right now with young and vulnerable women who get controlled by dominant rich men so I loved that Maylee was such an independent women who is hard headed and holds her own despite being hurt by certain things.
I haven't read any other books by this author but I'll definitely be looking in to what else she has written.
Book read April 24th 2014.
