This book is just a perfect, light, humorous romance- perfect for a summertime read. It has all the perfect elements a romance reader is looking for- a wounded-hunky man, a soul-searching woman, a meddling grandmother, a picturesque location, an-oops-we're-stranded-there's-only-one-bed catalyst moment and so much in between. The banter was excellent, the random inclusion of a teacup pig was perfect and the steam was on point. I would highly recommend to anyone who's looking for a light, fun and steamy read that still packs an emotional punch with lots of heart and love.

3.5 stars
3.75 stars!

I read this story from cover to cover. I liked the characters. I really enjoyed their banter. Why is this a 3.75 star read for me? Predictive. Plot. I needed more twists and more surprises.

How Not to Mess With a Millionaire • by Regina Kyle
Romance
Released 6/7/21 by Entangled Publishing

I liked this one a lot and was able to relate to it... not the finding a hot stranger buck naked in my rental vacation home part... but a few other things throughout the book lol...
📖 Dante is a twin (if you missed it, im also a twin)
📖 Zoe was in the color guard in the marching band... same!
📖 A Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie reference! 😍 if you have no clue what i am talking about, please go watch this movie! Lol!
📖 A rescue pet pig named Houdini

Overall, this book is cute, fun, romantic, sexy and has some steam!

If you enjoy a good enemies to lovers or accidental roomate trope, THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!

Thank you so much to @netgalley and @entangledindulgence for this #giftedbook in exchange for an honest review!

At times funny, at times emotional with plenty of steamy scenes, How Not To Mess With A Millionaire was a five star read for me. A cocky hero, a sassy heroine, a pig on the run and an amazing setting had me reading late into the night so I could finish in one sitting. Loved it!!

The meet was not cute, but it was definitely memorable. Zoe is just awesome, and Dante is just…not at first. She’s come to the villa to escape a bad job, and he’s there to torture himself with memories. Once they get together, it’s wonderful. I wanted to shake Dante, but he eventually got to where he needed to be

“How Not To Mess With A Millionaire” was such a great read! It grabbed me from the beginning and I ended up reading it in one sitting because I was enjoying myself so much. The author has a great writing style and she managed to make me laugh, swoon and sigh. It has just the right amounts of sweet and sexy. I absolutely loved the verbal sparing between the two main characters, Zoe and Dante. And the supporting characters had me hoping that this will be a series. I’d love to see Dante’s friends and his brother find love, too. And I fell in love with little Houdini. Who wouldn’t? I definitely recommend this book.

This has been such a fun read yet it also has a healthy dose of sexy, moving effortlessly from cute (picture Zoe doing yoga with a pot belly pig) to steamy. There’s lots to love, from the gorgeous setting in a luxury Positano villa on Italy’s Amalfi Coast to the fabulous characters. Zoe and Dante are great together. I was impressed that he could pull off a first meeting while butt naked but he did it with style. I loved their various attempts to piss each other off as both wanted the villa to themselves. The snarky dialogue was fabulous. Finally, there is a terrific cast of secondary characters including Dante’s matchmaking grandmother, his overly curious friends and, of course, Houdini the pig. All in all this story makes for fabulous entertainment.

Zoe Ryan has just had some personal and professional setbacks and needs a refresh. She books a getaway in a dream villa designed by a famed interior designer which is her profession.

Only when she shows up there's already someone there...  A very wet, very naked, sexy someone. Hmm maybe she has good timing catching him as he's coming out of a shower?

Dante's families Villa is where he chooses to spend the anniversary of the death of his fiancee. He wants to be alone but is forced to share it since the vacation rental agency his Grandmother uses signed a contract with Zoe.

This was very delightful charming romance set in Italy. I would love to visit Italy again. Last time I did I was an idiota almost 20 something yelling at boys from my hotel balcony. 

Definitely recommend if you want a steamy, hard to get, c#$& grabbing romance. Sorry there was quite a bit of that. It just wanted to be said. 

They both had heartbreak and were healing and didn't know if they were ready to love again. That's why I love these stories. Hope and jumping for that chance for happiness. Doesn't hurt he's a dark haired sexy millionaire and she's pure sunshine in yoga shorts.

Houdini stole the show, you always need a light hearted side kick.

Thank you entangled publishing and net galley for the e-ARC for my honest and voluntary review.

Solid 4+⭐️

When in the first chapter a totally relatable lady MC walks in on a completely naked Adonis, you know you’ll enjoy the book.

A quick, easy read. With bit of sadness and a past to get over. Plus my favorite character choice for pushing you in the right direction—a total unexpected grandma. And an adorable pig. All tied up in a HEA bow.

Would recommend for anyone dreaming of an Italian vacation with a side of steamy millionaire. (Which, for the record, isn’t really one of defining features, attitude wise)

Thanks Entangled and Netgalley for the arc in exchange for this honest review

Zoe and Dante are forced to spend time together after she rents his grandmothers house in italy for a month, and it turns out he is staying there too. At first they resort to their worst behavour to try and make the other leave, but then start to all for each other - what will happen when it is time for Zoe to return to the US and is Dante over Nicole enough to give Zoe a chance?

A fun read, and I liked how it is told from both of their points of view.

A first Regina Kyle read for me and Zoe and Dante definitely captured my attention. this will not be my last read by the author. Their story was such a fun read with lots of humour, romance, steaminess and emotions. Reading these two just made me swoon throughout the book.

Very fun when their wits are engaged in trying to drive each other crazy! When they finally call a truce, things finally get interesting in a whole new way and I enjoy reading about the antics of the pig woven throughout. I thought the steamy scenes were incredibly hot, which didn't hurt. #hownottomesswithamillionaire #netgalley

First book in a new series. This is Dante and Zoe's story and I really enjoyed it. Zoe just wants a new start and and Dante is still dealing with a tragedy in his past. Watching this couple fall in love was so fun. I had moments of sadness but in the HEA is there for you. A perfect summer read.

I couldn’t get enough of this book! First of all, Italy is on my bucket list so this book was right up my alley. Now, how do I get a Italian millionaire who will buy me a mini pig?! This one ends with a HEA but no epilogue (at least the version I read didn’t).

I loved the way this book was written. The two characters have immediate chemistry and instantly fall into a back and forth relationship. The witty banter, steamy scenes and all around ease in which they interact had me all in with them!

Who wouldn’t love to go on a vacation and be met at the door with a steaming hunk in all his delicious glory. I’m raising my hand over here.

The story was definitely a humorous and delightful read with the developments that the author added to bring some spark to the story.

From annoyances to tick off the other person to adopting a mini pig, the story developed in a familiar method with humor and building connections between the two. Kyle delivers a story with a full range of emotions and has you quickly falling for this almost couple!

A delightful story with the perfect amount of heat and spice!

This enemies to lovers story set in beautiful Italy is the first in Regina Kyle's Mediterranean Millionaires series. It is a fun, sexy, summer read that introduces us to Zoe - an American interior designer and Dante - a rich restaurateur. His meddling Grandma has rented her villa to Zoe when she knows her grandson will be in residence to encourage him to get dating again. Zoe walks into her rented to villa to discover a sexy nude man who then proceeds to rarely get dressed. They are determined to oust the other one, and eventually through their fighting learn to like each other. Of course chaos ensues, part of which belongs to a little pot-bellied pig named Houdini.

This is a delightful story. I did want to smack both of them at separate times and I wish Dante had groveled a bit more at the end. I will definitely read the next in this series.

Received as an ARC from Netgalley and Entangled books. Thank you.

This book is one of those you need when you want to be happy! It’s hilarious!
Interior decorator Zoe Ryan’s boyfriend dumped her and she was recently conned by her boss. What’s a girl to do? Leave everything behind for a bit....in Positano, Italy. And when she gets there, she finds a surprising extra—millionaire restaurateur Dante Sabbatini in the kitchen. In his underwear. Making coffee.
Dante’s plan was to escape to his family’s beach house for some quiet and privacy for the anniversary of his fiancé’s death. What he didn’t know was that his meddling, matchmaking nonna rented the entire house to a sexy stranger at the exact same time as his stay. There’s no way he’s leaving now.
With both refusing to leave, Zoe and Dante agree to be temporary roomies, but secretly aim to try to drive the other out. But suddenly their game of one-upmanship takes a very sexy detour, and they can’t believe what happens next.
This book is sooo good! It’s smart and witty, with funny dialogs and nice sex scenes. The chemistry between them is of the chart. I loved Zoe, she is so driven, and Dante is hot and sweet: he rescued a pig for her!! Houdini is everything in this book. I really enjoy this one and I highly recommended.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
