GRR Reviews Filthy Rich (Blackstone Dynasty Book 1) by Raine Miller

Filthy Rich, which can be properly subtitled "Billionaire meets his match", is about a billionaire who, well, met his match in a woman who was almost the polar opposite of him, yet everything he wanted, but she doesn't want any male companionship, and he has his own problems...

Billionaire Caleb Blackstone knew the moment he saw Brooke Casterley that she's the one for him, even though he just got his Brioni suit ruined by the cocktail sauce, spilled when a guest got too hands-y on her and she retaliated with an elbow to the nose. He had just broken up with his regular squeeze, who's gotten way too clingy, but he knew Brooke is not the casual sex kind of girl. He was surprised to find that Brooke not only doesn't want ANY male companionship, she actually has a history with the island AND his family... Her grandma used to be a part of the staff for the Blackstone Estate that was suddenly let go. Caleb had to unlearn all his wooing habits and just be a regular nice guy // Brooke knew what a bad man can do to her. She was pregnant by an abusive husband. She woke up 3-week coma having lost her husband and her baby to a car accident... She left it all behind to come home to start over... working multiple jobs to make ends meet to care for her grandma. Falling for Caleb was never in the plan, but fall she did. But when his mother did not approve of Brooke, and his clingy ex is still out there, can there really be happily ever after for this couple?
