Elizabeth aka "Lizzie", despite being heir apparent to the Banks Fashion empire, can't seem to please her father. For the latest men's fashion line, she needed to recruit "the perfect man"... Suave, sophisticated, a successful businessman, and hers to control (just a little). When all eight candidates turned her down (some just ogled her), she was devastated and despondent. Wandering into a seedy bar wasn't her plan... Nor was meeting James aka "Jimmy", the Youtube Daredevil, who'll do almost anything for a few hundred bucks. Lizzie saw the diamond in the rough... If she can't find the perfect man... She'll create him... But can she ever let him go after that?
Okay, an interesting tale of gender-bent ugly duckling transformation, However, having multiple nemeses around doesn't really help the situation. There was "LB" her father's right-hand man (who secretly wanted her to fail)... What happened to him? There was ONE SENTENCE, and that's it. Oh, and the opposition? The rival fashion house Quill Couture? Who also has a daughter, dirty Kim, who wanted do James just for the heck of it? And the bullies that chased Jimmy's brother around just because they can? Nobody really got their comeuppance. The grand gesture was nice and fitting. But the resolution... a bit lame. Needs an epilogue. 4/5

GRR Reviews Million Dollar Marriage by Katy Evans
Penelope (call me "Nell") and Luke both need half a mil. She needed to repay her student loans. He needed it to pay debt owed on his grandpa's bar (now his). They joined the new reality show "Million Dollar Marriage" where the couples, legally wed (but can be annulled at end of show), will join various challenge activities around the US (including Alaska). They are total opposites. She's a multi-PhD squeaky-clean nerd. He's a bar-owner who used to be an addict but cleaned himself up. Both are too busy to date. Both needed the money. The challenges will bring them together like nothing else... and it was just supposed to be a business transaction... Right?
While the "fake reality show love turned very real" plot had been done before, this is a very nice polished version of it. I am NOT too sure about the darkest hour though. I felt that was not explained well. 4/5
