HOW TO BLOW IT WITH A BILLIONAIRE by Alexis Hall (December 12, 2017; Forever Yours eBook; $4.99)
Be careful what you wish for . . .
Once upon a time there was a totally ordinary boy who fell for a cold, beautiful prince. Only it's not a fairy tale, it's my life. The prince is a billionaire called Caspian Hart. And we're trying super hard to live happily ever after.
He's everything I want, need, and can't resist: a man who looks like a god and bangs like the devil. Except he's still got his rules and he's still got his secrets . . .
But if there's one thing Caspian's taught me it's that you should never settle for less than you're worth. And I'm worth his trust. I have to show him that I see him. That I'm not afraid of his passion, or his power, or his past. And that I won't settle for less than everything.

Review:
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
I decided to separate the next part of this review into two parts. The good and the bad stuff. I shall begin with the good stuff because there is only one. Arden was a better character. He didn't cry every two seconds. Also, he was tamer in this book and he actually made a couple of good choices. Should I consider a bonus the fact that I was actually able to finish this book? I DNF the first around 40%.
Now the bad things: Caspian. Who is this dude? I don't know him at all. He is still a mystery and the lack of his point of view is starting to getting annoying. I didn't feel like this was a romance book. The thing between him and Arden felt cheap and almost non-existent. The next big thing that bothered me is spoiler-y so stop reading this paragraph if you don't want spoilers. Is Arden bi? I thought he was gay-gay. If he never mentions an attraction towards women why create drama? I hated the scene when Caspian found Arden and his sister in a bed and immediately assumed they had sex. This is a very suspicious behavior. I wonder what Caspian did while he was away... That happened after half the book was gone, so you can see why I don't believe in this relationship.
I am still not invested in the series or the characters. I didn't like a single person in this book and the main couple is not even acting like one for most of the book. I wouldn't call this book a romance and I wouldn't recommend it.
About the Author
Alexis Hall was born in the early 1980s and still thinks the 21st century is the future. To this day, he feels cheated that he lived through a fin de siècle but inexplicably failed to drink a single glass of absinthe, dance with a single courtesan, or stay in a single garret.
He did the Oxbridge thing sometime in the 2000s and failed to learn anything of substance. He has had many jobs, including ice cream maker, fortune teller, lab technician, and professional gambler. He was fired from most of them.
He can neither cook nor sing, but he can handle a 17th century smallsword, punts from the proper end, and knows how to hotwire a car.
He lives in southeast England, with no cats and no children, and fully intends to keep it that way.
