Rylie had been crushing on Jarrett, even though Jarrett dated her twin sister Carlie. But Carlie dumped Jarrett for a singing career in Nashville. Years later, Carlie is hiding out from a scandal and living with Rylie... when Rylie found that Jarrett has moved in next door, and is now a billionaire. But Jarrett wants to adopt Gabe and despite his riches, he can't seem to get adoption approved... unless he got married. The logical choice would be Carlie, who can use a boost for her career, being associated with a billionaire. But when timing did not work out, Jarrett ended up marrying Rylie instead, as a marriage of convenience. It's just to adopt Gabe, they said to themselves... Each was convinced that the other wanted someone else... Can they ever admit their real feelings?
Good setup and no logic holes or plot holes I can see, just a lot of inconvenient timing (like Carlie fell sick just before the marriage timing) but if rom-coms can do it, so can regular romances. 4/5

GRR Reviews The Billionaire's Reckless Marriage by Tami Dearen
Finn is a billionaire philanthropist, who can't help but antagonize Laurie with caustic wit. Finn has cystic fibrosis, which will likely kill him before he turns 40, and that means only a few years left. He doesn't want to make anyone a widow, so he avoided all romantic entanglements. Laurie can't stand Finn, but his company, Limitless, seems to be a good fit, despite her lack of actual work experience. When one partner had to drop out of an event due to personal reasons, Finn is forced to with directly with Laurie, and they achieved a truce... and understanding about each other. But is that enough to sustain a relationship, even when he's opposed to the idea, and she's not sure if she hates or loves him?
Interesting details about CF and how one can live with the circumstances. It's also clean and sweet (no sex). 4.5/5

GRR Reviews The Billionaire's Secret Marriage by Tamie Dearen
Branson "Bran" is totally blind, but a lifetime of adaptation means most people don't even notice his blue eyes aren't real. He's now rich and he has the perfect PA Stephanie "Steph", and possibly a fiancee too, but that's just a business deal. Bran knew most women don't care about him, only his wealth. Bran also knew that Steph doesn't see him that way, and he hired Steph partly due to her daughter's disability, needing her job and health insurance to keep her well. But he's not in love with Steph, right? // Steph had a crush on Bran for a long time. He's strong, sweet, and jaded. And Bran's new fiancee is both jealous of any woman near Bran (esp. Steph) and trying to coerce Bran into a quickie marriage, in Las Vegas Elvis Chapel if necessary. Can Steph stand by while the devious fiancee succeeds? Or will she speak up, and risk losing her job and her life as she knows it?
VERY nice description of a blind MMC, definitely inspirational. Though I can't imagine such a guy be pushed around by a socialite with an agenda. And the reason he's going for a fake marriage to the socialite was for her stocks for a stock swap? Without a pre-nup? I know it's doing good, but somehow, this doesn't sound that... "dire", not a "do or die" situation. 4/5
