This was a great story. It sucked me in from the beginning and Kristen had wonderful characters I got to narrate.
A Sincere Billionaire’s Forever Love
Sweet Billionaire Series, Book 2
By: Kristen Iten
Narrated by: Lorana Hoopes
This is my first Kristen Iten book, and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It features Raul, the billionaire, realizing there is more to life than just being alone. When he is with Marie, he is happy and finds life is better. Marie is a school administrator and the one thing she wants to do is be a mother. Adding her name to the foster care system, she unexpectedly gets a child right away, and now Sam is part of her package. Will Raul take to this change? Will their relationship be able to include Sam? There is a lot to be said about this book. Iten gives us characters with depth and maturity, in their 30’s that truly care about each other. Raul and Marie’s issue is not because of his wealth, or because of her desire to be a parent. But they need to figure it all out, and their path is not easy. I love this about the book, as life does not always have quick solutions. And with the addition of Sam in the story, my heart was captured and I was in love!
Lorana Hoopes brings this story to life with her voices. She has a remarkable way of finding the essence of the characters and bringing their personalities out. I enjoy her performances and this one was exceptional.

A SINCERE BILLIONAIRE’S FOREVER LOVE by Kristen Iten
I really enjoyed the story of Raul and Marie. He is a billionaire with flash and she is a school principal. Opposites attract. They have some differing opinions on what they want out of life. As she takes in a foster-son that Raul is totally against, they start having serious problems in the relationship.
All is well that ends well in this HEA book. I thought it was well written and well narrated. I loved the characters, especially the little boy…he won my heart, as well.
I received this audiobook free with no requirement of review. I am reviewing this book of my own accord and am giving my honest opinion.
A fun, sweet and clean book! Raul had to deal with and get over his past… I loved how it happened. Sometimes we carry guilt around for way too long. Loved how it brought in fostering and the hardships foster kids can go thru. This book had a lot of feels and the ending was so sweet. I listened to this on audio, the narrative was very good also.
A sweet story that will lead you into the mind of Kristen iten. In this story she handles a very serious issue that unfortunately plagues our nation today. Children lost to the foster system. She also brings in the issue that several couples embrace trying to make a relationship work when neither is on the same track. But the little foster boy brought a healing that both of the couple needed. They found that they had been dancing around for months not wanting to figure out what it would take to make a happily ever after for the three of them. The secret to their lives would lay wrapped in an old brown paper box, hidden away like the hurt that went along with it. This billionaire that said money could buy anything seen that peace to your aching soul and family forever love couldn’t be bought with money.
A Sincere Billionaire’s Forever Love ( Sweet Billionaire Romance Book 2 )
By: Kristen Iten
A Sincere Billionaire’s Forever Love is book two in Sweet Billionaire Romance series. I really love this series. This was a very delightful story. Love the story and the characters. This is Raul and Marie’s story. Raul is a billionaire and Marie is a school administrator. There are twist and turns in this story. There was times I had tears in my eyes. Is there even a chance for Raul and Marie?
I was given a complimentary copy of this book, but was not told that I had to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.
This was such a great book! I loved the characters and their imperfections, I loved the sweet story, clean romance, and happy ending. It’s also really fun to see characters from past books, and maybe get a glimpse of another we’ll see in a future book. I recommend it!
I received a complimentary copy of the book. All opinions are my own and are expressed voluntarily.
Raul is ready for his HEA with Marie. Because the guilt he feels after the dead of his father he doesn’t want children, only thinking about it scares him. But Marie’s dream includes being a mum. At that point everything is going wrong when he makes the wrong decisions.
Are the going two different ways or can her love and a small boy, Sam help Raul heal?
This story carries so much emotions, you want to yell after the stupid decision he made and I shed some tears during the connection with Sam. And that his hobby has one of my favorite sports to watch in it was another positive.
What a great book! I loved the characters so much, from Raul, Sam, Marie to Marie’s big Italian family. This is a wonderful story about love and family. You will laugh and you will cry, this book brings every emotion out. A page turner for sure!
Was given a complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
It was a good romance on seeing how two people who are on different pages can grow and come together. I thought the characters felt real beyond 1-demisional. It’s a billionaire story so of course there’s lots of money sometimes thrown around but I wouldn’t say it’s in your face or overdone. The H had guilt over his father’s death and I was interested how’d it would resolve. I thought that was written well. I thought all the characters were written well. I didn’t always connect with the h but I think that’s just a case of more me than the story. Her style threw me off but that is a minor thing and I’m from the west coast so ya know it’s more of your mileage may vary thing. She was still a fun, quirky person. I think the arc of their romance and growth had a nice flow. I’ll continue on with this stories. My interest is definitely peaked on who all the friends will find love with.
I rarely get even teary eyed from a book, much less have tears run down my cheeks; but Kristen Iten managed to accomplish that. Don’t get the wrong idea–I was deeply touched, not sad. I loved the characters–Raul, Marie and Sam are very well developed. Watching Sam open up to the idea of a better life was extremely emotionally satisfying as was the transformation in Raul’s life. There are some incredibly romantic dates and a fantastic HEA. I would highly recommend this book to clean/wholesome romance readers. I got a copy through KU.
A billionaire with a deep sadness falls in love with a vivacious school administrator. The only problem is he does not want children and she wants a houseful. When a foster child is added in the mix the billionaire starts to let down his guard but will it be enough to keep his relationship with the woman he loves. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
What a ride! For someone who had been waiting so long for Marie’s and Raul’s story since they got to meet in the previous book during a gala, the story definitely satisfied, but not without throwing some really hard obstacles both of our main characters had to go through.
The story starts about 3 months after these two met, and slowly reveals what they have been up to, as well their plans for the future. One thing that I liked about this book was that since both of them are in their 30s and, whether they are aware of it or not, have some very set plans for their future, they’ll need to learn to communicate between each other as part of this new relationship they’re in if they want to make it work. I also enjoyed the fact that even though the “main conflict” is pretty much set from the get-go, they still try and make it work, not wanting to let go of the other. It was also nice to see Raul finally working through his issues on his own (kind of); and, of course, the addition of Sam’s character was just the touch this story would need to completely pull at your heartstrings.
With lush descriptions and great characters, this book is the perfect sequel in Ms. Iten’s Sweet Billionaire Romance series.
Another book I so much enjoyed. The problem is with the guy having guilt over his wrong thoughts & not checking out the truth for a year. Why do men act this way? But he does finally come to the truth & the story ends very happy. I HIGHLY recommend this author & book. The author is in most top 10 favorite authors. I received an ARC. This is my voluntary, honest review.
Raul De Luca was on top of the world financially and now it seemed romantically. He had the love of Marie Maranzano, a New York City school administrator. If only the world could stand still everything would have been just perfect, but life has a way of changing. Kristen Iten has a way of exposing the heart of her characters and sometimes that makes the path to the fairy tale ending a little longer. This book has a wonderful story line and characters that make you want to hug them and shake them at the same time. A book worth reading.
