I enjoyed this book, but felt a bit like I was reading a Pretty Woman spin off. Michael is the wealthy businessman that doesn't trust women (or kiss on the lips), even since his fiance left him at the alter. Sophia is the stripper barely making ends meet. Michael's matchmaking site connects them and both are pleased. From there, pretty much all the best elements of Pretty Woman are woven into the story. Despite this, I still thoroughly enjoyed the book because of the author's way to telling the story. If you enjoy the genre, put this on your TBR list. It's a perfect read for a quiet afternoon or at the beach.
This book, in theory, sounded good. When I started reading it, it quickly went south for me. There was so many weird things I couldn't over look. So many cliche storylines in this one. Stripper and Billionaire? Not what I was looking for.....

Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock is the first book in the Irresistible Billionaires series. This is the story of Michael Vilander and Sophia Baldwin.
Michael is a rich self made man who built up a dating site when he was younger that is now very successful. When he needs a date to a Ball where he had donated money to a Arts Foundation his secretary/Grandmother told him to use his own site. Michael had once been engaged but was left at the alter buy a women who was selfish and looking for the next big thing/relationship. So his world with women had become pretty jaded and just quick encounters. So when he started talking to Sophia on his dating site he made sure she knew it was for one night with nothing else. Sophia is working hard to take care of her grandmother and earn money for college to become a nurse. But she never has time for friends or relationships so she had been ghosting around the dating site when Michael's profile appeared. There one date lead Sophia to defend him against his awful ex that showed up and was trying to fling her new engagement at him. So Sophia fired back and now they are having to be a pretend couple for a month. But things start out smooth but feelings come into play and Sophia's job becomes a issue.

This is Michael and Sophia book, Michael is a Hotshot billionaire CEO owner of a popular dating website, Sophie is a 24 year old barely making ends meet doing what she can to care for her sick grandma and trying to go to college to be a nurse. Michael puts up a fake profile on his dating site because he needs a date to a big fancy affair that he just knows his witch of an ex fiance is going to be at! Sophia answers him and that's where the story begins! It's definitely a sweet, funny, hot, light read that I really enjoyed! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
