Bathing in borrowed luxury on a tropical island and finding that special one? If only you didn’t have to lie to her!

I received an advance copy from Netgalley for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

London Granger kissed her modeling career goodbye in favor of becoming a writer. Instead of writing meaningful articles about serious issues., she’s stuck with a boss that only lets her write fluff. This was not what she has been dreaming of, at all. When her best friend pitches an idea that is, for once, actually good, she decides to see if her boss will let her write it. What it’s really like to be a billionaire sees her teamed up with billionaire media mogul Miranda Northbrook. Miranda asks her to accompany her to the tropical island of St. Kitts. Who is London to say no? A week being ensconced in luxury all as research for her article? A billion times yes!

Kayla Tennyson has build her own security company from the ground up. She usually lets her team do the fieldwork, but when Hollywood IT-girl Aria Keller asks for her personally to accompany her for a week’s getaway on St. Kitts, Kayla is happy to oblige. While working to keep her client safe, Kayla notices the most beautiful woman she has ever seen. London Granger is everything she is looking for in a woman: beautiful, smart and funny. After a few impromptu meetings, Kayla is head over heels. That is until she runs into London with her travel companion, who is none other than Kayla’s ex Miranda Northwood. For all intents and purposes, they act like a couple. Kayla is horrified. How could she have been so wrong?

When you pick up a Georgia Beer’s book, you know it’s going to be a fun read. This one is no exception. I mean, a tropical island and all the luxury you can imagine? Come on! As much as that sounds like a fluffy setup, I really liked the premise of the story. London does enjoy the luxurious way of living that her main subject, Miranda, is used to, but she doesn’t close her eyes for the downside of it. She actually pays attention to the stark differences between a billionaire’s world and the experiences of ‘normal’ people, but also the actual isolation that Miranda’s lifestyle brings with it.

The connection between London and Kayla is unmistakable. They connect on a level that is somehow instantly deep, although their actual interactions are very short. I did feel like the hurdles they have to climb could have been more dramatic, but all in all, it’s a very satisfying journey.

I enjoyed the second main storyline of London and Miranda very much. The billionaire lifestyle is so very far from my own and I loved getting a glimpse into how the other side is living. Miranda is a great character because we get to see the person behind the veneer of success. The more she opens up to London, the more I liked her. And I loved that she supported London and Kayla as a couple, eventually.

London is researching the billionaire’s life for an article but mentions a book pretty soon. She also notes several times that she would like to interview the staff of the resort and Miranda’s assistent, but we never actually see her do that. I would have loved to read about their experiences.

Can’t Buy Me Love is a good summer read. Is it the best Georgia Beers story? No. Is it worth your time? Absolutely, yes!

I wish I had a cocktail in hand and my feet kicked up on a sun lounger, this would’ve been the perfect beach read! This book was laced with humour and romance which made it a truly enjoyable experience.

Quite often I feel authors overcomplicate narratives with unnecessary characters and subplots however Beer beautifully explored each character and everyone served a purpose for the story. I particularly enjoyed the development of Miranda’s character and the relationship she built with London. Whilst Miranda was set up to be unapproachable due to her billionaire status, London’s passion for her career forced her to see things in Miranda that very few did, paving the way for what turned out to be a beautiful friendship.

The chemistry Beer captured between London and Kayla was immediate and grew cleverly given very few plot interactions. The misunderstandings made me want to reach into the book itself and right the wrongs, I was fully invested in their love story!

Many themes were explored in this book and caused me to pause for thought; the grass really is always greener. Perhaps a deeper dive into some of these themes wouldn’t have gone amiss but that didn’t dampen my overall enjoyment of this book whatsoever.

I loved London and Kayla's instant connection and spark. This story was different and exciting. I found myself wanting more once it ended. Misunderstandings, billionaires and a lot of tension made this a fun read.

I cherished London and her beautiful, heart felt story! Just soooo good! I was totally captivated by this book from the start to end. Loved it! Wonderful story.

Can’t Buy Me Love had a bit of angst, miscommunication, a lot of horny yearning…I found it tricky to get into. It was good to read a billionaire story that addressed classism, albeit in a watered-down way. I liked Kayla, and London was sweet too.

Thank you for this ARC!

CANT BUY ME LOVE - GEORGIA BEERS - ARC
London pitches her boss an idea for an article, hoping she will get a book out of it, her boss sets her up with the wealthy owner of the company Miranda! Miranda loves the idea London has pitched so takes her away to an expensive holiday resort!
Kayla loves work, she's built her company from the ground up, she loves her clients too. Especially this one. This beautiful paradise is the best place for work until she bumps into her ex!
I enjoyed this one, I don't expect some of the twists and I like the little stalker element in it, I really enjoyed seeing how the other side live, I guess it felt like I read London's novel! 🌶️

CAN'T BUY ME LOVE is another fantastic sapphic romance from georgia beers, who's quickly becoming one of my favorite sapphic authors! london is a model-turned-journalist who gets invited on a trip to st. kitts with media mogul miranda northbrooke, where she meets kayla tennyson, head of her own security company and bodyguard to movie stars. their chemistry is explosive, but london can't tell her the reason for her trip without risking her work and the article she's working on.

if you're looking for fun, steamy sapphic romances, georgia beers never misses and this was once again true with CAN'T BUY ME LOVE. this was a really quick and easy read for me but i had a great time and would definitely recommend it for anyone who loves sapphic romance!

thanks to netgalley and bold strokes books for the advanced copy. CAN'T BUY ME LOVE is out august 13.

A great sapphic romance, fun read, and summertime book to cuddle up with. I enjoyed the main characters and the intrigue that came with the central plotline. Claire was my favorite, and I loved that it was an easy read to breeze through.

An excellent beach read with a whole package of excessive luxury at the backdrop of gorgeous paradise island, missed chances, hot people -- all that familiar jazz but made sapphic, which is why I picked it up in the first place. It scratched the itch, and now I'm wistfully looking at the map wondering if the island is as good as it was described! :D

I want to start by saying thank you to Georgia Beers and Bold Strokes Books for the ARC copy of Can't Buy Me Love. I deeply appreciate it.

Can't Buy Me Love is a fun, light, summery read about money, fame, miscommunication, and complicated love. London Granger, on assignment, gets to live the high life with billionaire Miranda Northbrooke, who she quickly finds friendship with. While at their St. Kitts resort for the week, she runs into Kayla Tennyson, the strong, confident, and thoughtful owner of Tennyson Security, and it doesn't take long for a spark to form between them. Little does London know, Kayla is actually the ex-girlfriend of her billionaire companion - one of many complications on their path.

Beers wrote an enjoyable beach read here. Candidly, though, it was not my cup of tea. I'm sure many will enjoy this playful romp, but I did struggle as the book progressed with a lack of substance. There were a few words and phrases that I could tell were author favorites, and it was hard not to notice the repetition. I also found the brief mentionings of wealth disparity without any real substance to be more offputting than insightful, as though they were thrown in to show the main character in a better light with no other purpose.

Readers who seek escapism, easy reads, and a little bit of tension to kick it up a notch will probably have a good time. There were a few scenes that had me glued in, and I enjoyed learning about Miranda more than I expected to. I wish it was more my cup of tea as I loved the concept, but preferences are there for a reason.

Thank you again for the ARC!

First of all, I would like to thank Bold Strokes Books for giving me this free Arc and especially Netgalley. Thank you to these publishers for the opportunity to read this book for free and in advance. I would like to thank the author of this book for writing this story. I really appreciate your work, and I hope you create and write more stories!

The description of the book caught my interest, and I really loved mysteries and spies. Besides that, I also loved reading romance books. Well, this book is mixed of those, and that's why I picked it. This book is about London Granger, whose boss gave her an assignment about "what's it really like to be a billionaire" so her boss assigned her to St. Kitts to meet Miranda Northbrooke, a media mogul.

I liked the writing of this book, and it was nice. It keeps me reading, and the story is getting interesting. I like the plot of the book, which got me hooked up like it surprised me. This book also has a touch of humor, which made me giggle for some of the chapters. I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read adventure with a touch of romance. I will rate this book 4 stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love a sapphic romcom, I love a missed connection romance, and I love a story with a great setting, and this book has all three. London, Kayla, & Miranda Make for a spectacular trio for a love triangle, but all isn’t what it seems, which is really enjoyable to read about. I’ve never been to St. Kitts or Nevis, and now not only am I determined to go, but I’m also determined to have my own little romcom vacation there— maybe not a missed connection, and certainly not with an ex, but the resort setting in this book is a character in itself, and I’m so looking forward to finding out if Georgia Beers undersold a country that, according to Can’t Buy Me Love, is nothing short of paradise. I do wish there’d been a little more comeuppance for our B-story bad guy— the ending there felt a little unsatisfying, if I’m honest, and I was left wishing there was an aside to a more fitting ending while we got our happily ever after (one of our heroines does work for a magazine after all, and I can’t imagine his presence on her research trip didn’t make the story she was working on even in a passion mention). Over all, I had a great time reading this book, and I’m excited to dive into more of Georgia Beers’ stories.

Can't Buy Me Love was a fun read full of emotional ups and downs. A beachy read that never got too heavy with a HEA. And as a native New Yorker, I especially liked the realistic descriptions of NYC.

Lovely summer read. It was nice to get a glimpse into the life of a billionaire !! I liked London and Kayla equally but loved the supporting role from Claire. It was an enjoyable read, predictable but heart warming !

Spending a week on a beautiful island resort with a billionaire? Sounds like a great job if you can get it...or in London's case, a great assignment. She is accompanying Miranda as she vacations so she can interview her, and live the life of a billionaire for a week, then write an article about what she learns. There is a lot going on in this summer loving read. Beers even throws a few twists in for fun....like Kayla, the hot security company owner, and ex of Miranda who happens to be at the resort guarding a famous young actress and her cousin and BFF,
Just reading about the scenery alone is worth the read. I wanted to jump in a private jet and go the St Kitts right away. (once I found out where it was and then someone loaned me there private jet and and gave me a million dollars.)
If you are looking to fill a Bingo reading slot, there are several options here. Kick back, grab an old fashioned (just hearing about Miranda and London drinking one in the pool makes me want to try one) and enjoy the read.

This was a home run hit! I love Kayla and London together, and their first kiss was described so perfectly! I appreciate how Miranda has many layers, but it's clear that Kayla deserved the best. I enjoy the way Miss Georgia Beers writes her characters in such great detail. I always feel like I'm part of the story, and watching everything unfold from a corner. The setting on St. Kitts was truly magical, and I loved reading this story while I was on my own vacation. I felt like this story had everything! - romance, suspense, heartache, and excitement - all kept me turning the page quickly. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone who is a fan of beautiful love stories. I cannot wait for your next one, Georgia! Keep 'em coming, thanks so much for the great reads!

This book was FANTASTIC! Oh my goodness, I could not put it down. The creativity behind this story was unbelievable. It was so unique to watch the characters evolve. I felt like I was at St. Kitts as well, and I desperately wanted to be a security guard on Kayla's team! I loved the chemistry between our two main characters. It's so relatable when you want to be with someone, but navigating through various circumstances can be tricky. I always enjoy the way Ms. Beers describes her characters. Miranda is a very complex person, but I love the way she acknowledges how special and wonderful Kayla truly is as a person. I also like that London is not just some former model, but a truly passionate and credible writer. It was easy to root for Kayla and London from the moment they met. I only wish that this story was longer! I cannot wait for the next one, and I highly recommend you read this immediately!

"Can't Buy Me Love" is a delightful read that follows London Granger, a former model turned investigative journalist, as she embarks on an assignment to write an article about what it's really like to date a billionaire. Her target is the wealthy and glamorous Miranda Northbrooke, CEO of the media group that owns the company she works for. But things take an unexpected turn when London meets Miranda's ex, Kayla Tennyson, who owns a top-notch security firm.

Georgia Beers deviated a bit from her usual formula with this one, just as she did with her previous book, but it totally worked for me. The fresh approach, combined with her signature style, made for a refreshing and enjoyable read.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.


London wants to be taken serious with her journalism after she gave up a career as a model but all anyone will give her to write is fluff stories. When her friend Claire courage her she pitches an idea to write on how the other half lives as she accompany media mogul Miranda. Kayla has build her company from the ground up she protects the rich and famous but she has troubling finding who is real and fake especially having been involved with Miranda. London and Kayla meet and there is an interest but there are misunderstandings because each is withholding from each other. This was cute read with angst but not too much.

Not a millionaire but a billionaire....hummm. Kayla Tennyson, built "Tennyson Securities" from the ground and caters to the rich. Kayla has more "benjamins" than she can spend. She was in a relationship with Miranda Northbrooke that did not end well. On a current assignment she meets London Granger, ex-model that gave up her career for investigative journalism. London is bummed that she is assigned to write "fluff" pieces. She decides to be more assertive with the encouragement of her apartment mate, Claire and gets an assignment that has her writing about the life of billionaires. She is able to travel with Miranda Northbrooke. London and Kayla meet and there is interest. Neither London nor Kayla have all the information, therefore as they interact, interest is there but both can tell something is missing. The secondary characters are a positive addition to the story, especially London's friend Claire. St. Kitts sounds lovely. What an easy read while laying on the beach under an umbrella sipping a lemonade :)
