The Billionaire’s Sham Girlfriend is the first book in Leslie North’s brand new Beaumont Brothers series and is a wonderful romantic read. The story is well balanced, with some much-needed angst, deep and mixed emotions, and a pretend couple who have chemistry that is off the charts. An easy one-sitting read, this story is definitely up there with some of Ms North’s best!

The Billionaire’s Sham girlfriend is a light, easy read. There aren’t too many dramatic surprises along the way, and it ends how you would expect; happily.
The characters are fairly consistent throughout the course of the story, however it felt a little strange that Kara said no to being his wife initially and tried to get more from him, when she was so desperate in the first place. That was a bit of a surprise.
The tone of the story was relaxed and the characters didn’t have to go through anything too intense to remind themselves of how they felt about each other which is always a plus.

Gregor Beaumont is in a world of hurt that all the charm in his gorgeous, well-toned body can’t fix. His late grandfather, God rest his soul, wanted to make sure Gregor and his two playboy brothers settle down. He had the brilliant idea of buying up a huge share of the brothers’ engine company.When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Leslie North is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

Enjoyable quick read. Kara agrees to play the part of Gregor's girlfirend, so he can hold on to his company. What neither of them expected was to fall for each other.

Looking forward to reading the rest of this series

I loved this book. Kara and Gregor make a great couple. What started out as a sham soon becomes real. The story has a nice pace and is great to read on a night in. Relax, unwind and read a great story. I can’t wait for the books on the 2 brothers.

Kara is a drama teacher for high school and does improv classes at an old theater. But the theater is being sold and she has tried everything to get it. In walks Gregor, a Formula One racer, British, and very wealthy. He makes Kara a proposition... be his pretend girlfriend and then marry him so he can keep his company. He will pay her and buy the theater building just until he fulfills the wishes in his grandfathers will. It’s all a big act until she falls for him. When she tries to get him to quit racing and then invites some mechanics from his late grandfather’s company, he blows up. She gets upset and goes back to America. Can Gregor change for the woman he loves?
Good story until Kara tried to change Gregor. If you love someone, you love them just the way they are. Even though she was trying to help him, she didn’t really know him well enough to do what she did. Sexy and fast cars.

“The billionaire’s sham girlfriend” did not disappoint one bit.
I could not put this book down. I read it last night and couldn’t go to sleep without finishing it. I’m a sucker to love stories, especially the ones that make me laugh and smile as I’m reading it.

“The billionaire’s sham girlfriend” radiates lust, passion, and desires that catches the reader's attention.

From the beginning, you could definitely tell that both Kara and Gregor are both strong characters that are dealing with serious issues in their lives but also emotional ones that you never would’ve thought could impact their relationship. All Kara wants is to buy the theater she’s working in and make her dream come true while Gregor needs to find a fake girlfriend to become his wife to fight he’s late grandfathers wishes to save their company.

You can't help but fall for their so-called fake relationship. This book gave more than I thought it would honestly and just left wanting more. I need to see how Kara and Gregor's life plays out.

I love it when heirs have to meet certain conditions before they get what they are promised.
If you love such a premise and a short romantic read, then this is what you need. Thanks Netgalley for the eARC. Readers of romance are bound to swoon over George, and Kara's way with words.

It suprised me in a good way. The "fake relationship" is one of my favourite tropes and if you like it as much as I do, you'll enjoy this book. It's a short book and I felt that some things were kept superficial but nonetheless it was an entertaining read. I enjoyed Greg and Kara's journey, and I liked both of them. At first I tought Greg was going to be a misogynist prick but he was actually a good straightforwardly guy. He was a lady's man but he never said things like "I use and ditch them" about women.
And I liked that Kara knew what she wanted and even if she wasn't so sure at the beginning she agreed to the offer because she wanted to accomplish her dream.

The ending was kind of cheesy and some things were too precipitated but it had a nice message, Gregor learned to delegate, to compromise and to work with Kara as a team. And I loved that Kara didn't settle down for less, Gregor had to get his things together to deserve her.

Dang grandpa. Kara sure does have a way with words. Gregor is a British playboy, but he is speechless at times around Kara. Too cute! I enjoyed The Billionaire's Sham Girlfriend.
