They provided the perfect balance for one another. Competitive and absolute positive chemistry that would change their lives forever.
Grayson Findlay has an idea for a app to help you coordinate outfits to maximise your appearancewhere he hopes for viral success but he's not quite there yet.
Mila rums a clothing store but with rising costs how can she stay in business.
When Grayson gets splashed and needs a new outfit for an important meeting he drops into Milas store, he gets inspiration what if he and Mila complete on a number of challenges to see whether the app can suggest a better outfit than Mila.
This is a business arrangement, it will not be anything more .......... so when after a fateful night Mila discovers she is pregnant how are they going to get back onto a professional footing.
This was a good book, although I felt the events were quite rushed but still worth a read.
Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in return for an honest review
I enjoyed reading this romance story .
The characters are fantastic and the story is an emotional and also entertaining . Grayson Finlay founder and CEO of his own tech company and Mila Tomlinson struggling tiny boutique owner meet when she helps Grayson with clothes after he gets drench before an important meeting . They decide to help each other business wise they compete her knowledge about fashion against his soon to launch fashion App .
Their attraction and passion ignites but Graysons insecurities get in the way and may cause him to lose the love of a great woman . I recommend reading this wonderful romance.
A fun, quick, raunchy read. I enjoyed this book.
The author supplied a great storyline, with characters that I grew to like throughout the book.
I really enjoyed that the lead characters Grayson and Mila also faced very normal, every day problems that many couples come across, and learned to work through those difficult times together.
I enjoyed this book, and look forward to future reads by this author.
Thank you Netgalley and Relay Publishing for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The Billionaire's Pregnant Competition was a quick and fun read. What I really loved about this story is that Mila and Grayson's story was very organic. They faced problems that are very common and learned how to work through them. I look forward to reading more from this author.
Thanks to #Netgalley for granting me a copy of this book.
This book is quite short and saying too much about the characters and the story in general just gives away the whole book. Here we follow Grayson who is a self-made billionaire who is developing an app that would help people pick out clothes and he is hoping to use that as a push for his company to go public. On his way for an important meeting, his outfit gets splashed with muddy water and he searches "trusty google" for the nearest fashion store which leads him to Mila.
Mila runs a struggling or rather drowning boutiques and she comes to his rescue, matching an outfit for him to wear to his meeting. As it is with romance books, he believes that he is attracted to her and that would not be the last time they meet. He gets a brilliant idea to create a contest between her and his app which would serve multiple purposes which includes making sure that they have a reason to see each other.
As expected, they cannot keep their hands off each other, so Mila decides that they should just sleep together and get the chemistry other with (like that always works) anyways, they go back to his penthouse and they have hot sexual experiences (this is me trying not to say ****) anyways she leaves the next morning before he wakes. A few weeks later she found out that she is pregnant!!!
I don't know why I have a thing for romance books that have a baby involved. Really loved this book, I hope you check it out!
I have been reading Leslie North's books for years and I am not tired of her books. Admittedly, they do follow similar writing slopes, the meeting, the black moment, and the get-together. Which really is a representation of most books in the adult romance category
BUT I still love it...
This was a fun romp in the land of billionaire playboys! I enjoyed Mila and Grayson's story and read it in one day. The reason I would give this four stars instead of five are:
1. This was a short book compared to what I typically read; I wished there was more to the story in the way of character development, steam, and a longer ending (it felt a little rushed even in a shorter book)
2. There were a few typos in the book, including "you" instead of "your" and some missed quotation marks. Nothing major, but noticeable.
3. One of my favorite parts of any story is the epilogue as you get to sneak back into the lives of your main characters. I have read The Billionaire's Pretend Girlfriend so I'm aware their wedding takes place in that story, but I felt like this epilogue was blah compared to the rest of the story. It was a gathering to share they had picked a wedding date, but I don't think the date was actually mentioned. I felt this was a missed opportunity, especially since there could have been details about the wedding or planning for the birth of their baby.
Overall, I enjoyed this quick beach read and was pleased I could go right into The Billionaire's Pretend Girlfriend. Now, to get Blake's story, too!
Leslie North consistently brings great characters and passionate romance to life. As a big fan North's, her name provokes an automatic one-click from me. I am always entertained.

This book was such a fun, quick read! I saw book two come by on Netgalley and wanted to read that one for sure, but I also didn't want to skip book one so I looked it up and turned out that book one was also available on Netgalley. I'm so glad I clicked on this, it was very enjoyable!
Writing style: It's your typical, avarage romance writing and I don't mind that one bit. I've been on a romance binge the last couple of months and I've come to the realization that romance has its own recipe ghat everyone seem to use because it freaking works.
Characters: The characters were a bit flat and could have used a bit more substance but oh well... The chemistry between Mila and Grayson wasn't of the charts which was a pity.
Story: Billionaire has a wardrobe malfunction and walks into a boutique hoping he can find something suitable to wear to his big meeting and then he meets the love of his life and they have a steamy one night stand and she ends up pregnant and then trouble ensues... Standard romance recipe? Check! Was it still a fun read even if I could guess the storyline? Absolutely!
I'll definitely be reading book two (and I also got book three on Netgalley so yay me!) and I'm giving this book three stars.

Leslie North has given us the perfect summer read! I was rooting for both Grayson and Mila in this book. Pregnancy can be unexpected as in this book but it is also a blessing. These two make the sweetest couple. I can’t wait to read more about them in Leslie’s second book.
Grayson came from nothing and he's now at the helm of a thriving tech company. On the way to a major investor meeting he's splashed with mud which leads to a chance encounter with Mila, a small boutique owner who sets him up with the right look. Mila needs business and Grayson needs his styling app to work. A bet is created and the two have to work together to determine who can style better - the stylist or the styling app. The two grow closer and eventually take it to the next level. Mila discovers she's pregnant and worries a baby will never fit into Grayson's lifestyle. Grayson struggles to believe he will be a good parent and tells her that the baby will want for nothing, but Mila wants more.
I really like Leslie North as an author and have blazed through a bunch of her books already! This book is book one in The Billionaire's Club series. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. Leslie does a good job of introducing the characters from the other books in the series without them taking over the story. I can't wait to read the next two books in the series!
Thanks to NetGalley and the author for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
Another sizzler of a story. The romance leaps off the page and gives you an afternoon of pure escapism. Thank you to Netgallley and the publishers for letting me review this book.
A fast paced sweet and sexy romance. The characters are great! Grayson has a lot of realizations to make to get his HEA. Mila is just the woman to get him through. The clothing competition was a fun addition. I enjoyed the growth of the characters. This is a perfect summer day on the beach read.
The Billionaire’s Pregnant Competition by Leslie North
If you grew up dirt poor and your chance just came in to be rich would you give it up to show someone that they mean more than the money?
Grayson is a Tech Mogul and was raised by a single mother with no financial support from anyone! He put himself through college and has worked diligently nonstop to get investors to think his app was the right product for their money!
He was finally able to do this after he met Mila a up and coming owner of a clothing store! Mila & Grayson not only have a business connection but end up having a sexual relationship as well!
Mila’s family who are wealthy are not enamored of their relationship because they do not like Tech moguls because they have the tendency to go belly up in a short time and this means that the investors will lose!
They also were not happy with their daughter going out on her own and they are not happy with her relationship with Grayson and when you read this book there are other surprises!!!
This book is steamy and the scenes are well written though!!
I love how the author has portrayed the family life of the two families and even with the disparity that by the end of the book they find common ground and realize that money is not what makes a family, but the people and how you treat one another within the family! You have to let your family grow up and try and they will come back to you and get your help, but you cannot berate them or they will never ask for you to help!!
I received this advanced copy from netgally and I am willingly giving my thoughts and opinions!
Yay, another Billionaire's series of Leslie North. I was very happy to see three billionaire friends starring in this new series. First one is Grayson, who is trying to convince investors to help him launch a new app to help people dress for success. But just before the meeting, he gets splashed with mud. A chance encounter with Mila in her own fashion boutique saves his day.
But afterwards, Grayson can't stop thinking about her. When he envisions a launch with a competitive element, what is better than to ask Mila to help him with the fashion choices? But when sparks are flying: is it wise to mix business with pleasure?
Well... not quite... Because after one night of hot passion, Mila turns out to be pregnant. Suddenly, Grayson has to think about babies and diapers... Will they find a solution? Or do business and pleasure never mix? Find out for yourself in this wonderful read. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.
North gives readers a solid story with likable and relatable characters. This series is a quick, fun, summer read!
The billionaire's Pregnant Competition by Leslie North is the first book in the series. Grayson runs his own tech business and is about working on an app that helps people pick their outfits. He is on his way to a very important meeting with the investor when his outfit gets ruined. He finds a little shop to get a new outfit before the meeting, and that's where he meets Mila. Mila and Grayson had a great connection right from the start, but will Grayson's very busy life make room for Mila.
The story takes us on a few twist and turns that make the story more interesting, I find;t want to put the book down. All the characters were amazing. I would definitely recommend this book. I can't wait for the next one in the series.

Wanted to smack Grayson upside the head lol.... Overall good book. Mika being an independent woman who just wants to save her shop and fall in love.. Grayson driven to make his company bigger not wanting to being poor again. .. Until mile comes into his life
This was such a sweet love story with a hint of sexy. I love how important the friendship and family relationships were written into the storyline. Molly was such a gem. A perfect ending to a series.
