Description
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 and using that as incentive for each brother to find Mrs. Right. Settle down or lose the company to a competitor. Well, that’s just not happening to Gregor, not when life’s so good at the moment. Gregor likes racing fast cars and seducing fast women, and not necessarily in that order. Settle down? Not a chance. Gregor has his own brilliant idea: find some wholesome and desperate girl to pretend to be his girlfriend. No harm. No foul. Unless things start getting a little bit too real.
Kara Alerby knows she’s a sucker for blues eyes and a great smile, so when Gregor comes into her theater wanting to hire her to act the part of his adoring girlfriend, she’s already got her defenses on high alert. But Kara’s a practical girl, and Gregor’s offering a boatload of money that would go a long way toward making her dream of creating a fine arts school for gifted kids a reality. She can ignore his smiles, his charisma, and his kiss-me mouth if it means she’ll get her school. All she has to do is remind herself, every second of every day they’re together, that it’s all make believe—even when it doesn’t always feel that way.
When Greg’s love of racing puts his life in jeopardy, Kara isn’t ready to watch another person die in front of her like her father did. And Greg isn’t about to stop doing the one thing that makes life worth living. The two are on a collision course, one that could break them apart forever if they don’t change directions…

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.
“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.

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.
This is the first book I've read from this author and it won't be the last. Love how the story flowed and kept it from becoming just like all the other stories about paying to have a girlfriend to get their inheritance.
Kara is reluctant at first, but when she finds that she can't get the grant money to buy her theater to help future actors/actresses. She goes for it. Gregor and Kara find each other very hot, but they try to keep everything platonic. When Gregor wins his first race and they have an awkward first "kiss", they try to make it look better for public appearances. She shows the stubborn playboy what he is truly missing in his life - love. I look forward to the remaining books regarding his brothers. A must read.
A really sweet romance about very unlikely candidates for marriage, sham or real. The base for the story shows the facades we hide behind in our daily lives, and what can happen when you peel away your mask.
Kara and Gregor's chemistry is really great in this novel by Leslie North. She captures their personality and blends them well. She made their romance very sweet and made you cheer them on. This was a good first in this series and I am looking forward to the others as well.
Received an ARC from Negalley of The Billionaire’s Shame Girlfriend Book One by Leslie North in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own ...
Quick - engaging read !!!!
Gregor Beaumont needs a girlfriend / fiancé & FAST !! He finds Kara Alerby teaching improv acting classes at a local theater group - sounds like a perfect solution to his problem - right? Have Kara play his fake girlfriend - right? He is nervous to pitch Kara the idea of traveling his Formula One racing circuit as his girlfriend .. in exchange Gregor will buy the theater Kara desperately wants to start her business.
Their instant attraction sets them racing on a high speed course to a HEA with a few bumps in the road along the way !!
Delightful read can’t wait to check out the other Beaumont brothers stories !!
Great read loved it !! 👍👍
In order to save his family business Gregor Beaumont has to settle down and find a wife in accordance to the stipulations set out by the grandfather's will. Gregor has no intention of ruining what he feels is a good life right now. So he decides to find someone desperate to pretend to be his girlfriend.
Kara Alerby knows she’s a sucker for blues eyes and a great smile, so when Gregor comes into her theater wanting to hire her to act the part of his adoring girlfriend, she’s already got her defenses on high alert. But Kara’s a practical girl, and Gregor’s offering a boatload of money that would go a long way toward making her dream of creating a fine arts school for gifted kids a reality. She can ignore his smiles, his charisma, and his kiss-me mouth if it means she’ll get her school. She just has to keep reminding herself is all make believe -- or is it?
I absolutely adored this wonderful, sweet little romance from the very beginning.
Gregor Beaumont likes racing fast cars and seducing fast women. His late grandfather wanted to make sure Gregor and his two playboy brothers settle down and he had the brilliant idea of buying up a huge share of the brothers’ engine company and using that as an incentive for each brother to find Mrs Right. Settle down or lose the company to a competitor. Gregor has other ideas. He wants a charming but desperate girl to pretend to be his girlfriend. No problem, unless things start to get complicated.
Enter Kara Alerby. Gregor comes into her theatre wanting to hire her to act the part of his adoring girlfriend and offering lots of money that would really help her realise her dream of creating a school for gifted children. She can resist his smiles, his charisma, his beautiful blue eyes and his kiss-me mouth if it means she’ll get her school. She only needs to remember that it’s all a pretence.
When Gregor's love of racing puts his life in jeopardy, Kara isn’t ready to watch another person die in front of her as her father did. Gregor isn’t about to stop doing the one thing that makes life worth living. The two are on a collision course, one that could break them apart forever if they don’t change directions.
Although Gregor has a very public, playboy image, I loved the sexy chemistry between Kara and him whenever they were together and they were both very likeable characters. Kara is bright, ambitious and caring and very much knows her own mind. Gregor is gorgeous, mischievous and soulful. The story was sweet and captivating to the end and loads of fun to read if a little too short.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone.
Thank you to NetGalley, Relay Publishing and the author for a copy of this book.
Gregor Beaumont would stop at nothing to meet the requirements of his grandfather’s will and hiring a girlfriend was only the beginning. Would their relationship lead to something more and help meet the agreement? Great start to the beginning of the series.
