Win a Date with a Billionaire!Everyone wanted me to enter. The reason I shouldn’t? I was a walking, talking, dating disaster.My name’s Marika. I ran a coffee shop in a small town. Things were fine until that fancy resort, The Blue Spot, that catered to the wealthy moved in down the road. They stole all my customers with their posh coffee shop open to the public.How could I … open to the public.
How could I compete with the rich and powerful? Perhaps if I entered their Win a Date with a Billionaire contest, I could win enough money to help my business. I wouldn’t tell them about my horrible dating history or especially about that one guy who ended up in the hospital. They didn’t need to know that, did they?
As a VidTube star, most people had heard of me. I was Jokin’ James. Everyone except the woman I was falling for, Marika. I had been coming by her coffee shop for almost a year, but she had no idea who I was or that my brother owned the resort that was stealing her customers.
We were friends, but I wanted more. I was all ready to ask her out when she entered the contest my brother was running. Not only that, but the resort wanted me to be a part of the contest. Now she would discover that my family owned The Blue Spot. And worst of all, that I wasn’t from that small town at all. That I was a celebrity billionaire.
A sexy, funny, small-town billionaire romance involving mistaken identity, dating disasters, and a picnic so bad even the bees left in fear.

Elizabeth Lynx has given us one witty, clever, sizzling story to start off her new series Blue Ridge Mountain Billionaires. James is a billionaire, the star of his VidTube show, and a prankster. He has agreed to be the billionaire date for a contest his brother’s resort is having. when he finds out Marika has entered. Marika entered for the prize money to help out the coffee shop her family owns. And so the fun begins! James doesn’t always make the best decisions, can be a bit immature, but the chemistry between these two is crazy. The book is witty, funny, sweet, hot, and overall a solid read.
Marika and James are funny and cute. Marka tries to save her family’s coffee by entering a contest. James makes practical jokes videos, one of which backfires. I thought it was funny.
Dating Disaster with a Billionaire
(Blue Ridge Mountain Billionaires, Book 1)
Elizabeth Lynx
Dating Disaster with a Billionaire, was a funny, smoking hot read with lots of juicy scenes between the main characters. It was a fast paced, easy read. I loved the storyline it made me smile and laugh. James was incredibly clueless. He seemed to miss the memo that even if you have cash to fix something, not always will it be repaired. He creates his own trainwreck in the story. James must pick up the mess and rearrange the puzzle pieces.
Marika was used to several of her dates turning into a hot mess. What better way to solve the problem, but to expect that every relationship would be backfire . It didn’t help matters that Marika’s mother was extremely impulsive. Marika was used to feeling letdown and the only way to prevent that was never to allow anybody to get close.
Both character have to learn a little about life and relationships. Once they figure that stuff out, they find their HEA.
This series is another MUST READ by Elizabeth Lynx. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series, Surprising the Billionaire with a Baby.
Dating Disaster with a Billionaire is book 1 in the Blue Ridge Mountain Billionaires by
Elizabeth Lynx. Marika is a coffee shop open but is down on her luck. With men and her shop. Ever since The Blue Spot, a fancy resort took all her customers. Except one returning customer James. James is VidTub star and likes that Marika doesn’t know who he is or that his brother is the person that owns Blue Spot. This book is sweet and cute with some misunderstandings that these 2 have to over come. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
This is the kind of book that you need to read right now to escape the world.
Marina and James are wonderful together. They develop (especially James) so much throughout the book. The banter and scenes had me laughing out loud more than a few times. Loved the secondary characters; especially Marika’s father.
Small town , feel good and well written read. I am volunteering to leave a review for this book.
This was a fun story that kept my interest. The characters were memorable and I loved the transformation of James. Marika had me smiling throughout the book. It was a pleasure to read.
I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily reviewed it.
This story was such a happy one! Marika is just trying to keep her coffee shop alive but she is out of options so when a date with a billionaire contest comes up with 100,000 prize. Marika is a dating disaster but she is hoping that the date will be quick and painless for her date but she has been eyeing a guy named James that comes into the shop.
James sees red when Marika mentions it because then she will know the secrets he has been hiding plus the only one he wants her to date is him. Funny story
A warm story with a lot of joy in it. Not only joy, but heartache as well. A good story that make me want to get the next. Who is Laura’s sisters ’man’? Is it Monty? What’s goding on with Rock and Laura?
So many questions.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
“I’m simply in love with Dating Disaster with a Billionaire. Recently I’ve been reading dark romances and reading this story felt like fresh air to me. While reading I spent most of the time laughing. Both James and Marika weren’t what I expected. Marika was funny and determined to save her coffee shop. She was quite a complicated in a good way girl. The one that surprised me the most a.k.a James. I believed he was going to be arrogant and well… a jerk but I couldn’t have been more wrong about him. Reading the blurb and knowing he was a VidTuber and jokes were his thing, I expected him to be also playful and mischievous. It was delightful to read how James changed throughout the story. Together they were sweet, funny and so lovely. A wonderful rom-com that will give you plenty of smiles.”

It is a crazy mixed-up relationship that will have you LOL in many places…but what happens when the contest takes a nosedive and why? I received this as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.
A fun and cute rom-com story about James and Marika.
Marika owns a coffee shop and signs up for a dating contest to help save it. James is actually a famous VidTube star and billionaire, but Marika doesn’t know that. To her, he’s just the sexy guy who stops in for coffee at her shop. She doesn’t expect to fall for him and is even more shocked to learn who he really is.
I really enjoyed the story and look forward to more of the Blue Ridge Mountain Billionaires.
The first installment in this new series by Elizabeth Lynx portrayed some colorful and eccentric characters, bubbling and kind-hearted, involving a woman who was struggling to keep her business afloat and also being a dating disaster and the billionaire who had a crush on her and managing it not very well, realizing that sometimes money can’t buy you or help you to get what your want. He is going to learn it the hard way.
Marika and James made me smile and laugh so much. I appreciated their banter and natural chemistry. She had a difficult time with her coffee shop and she was trying to stand against the competition but she was closed to hit rock bottom. How could she compete with it? Entering a contest to win a date with a billionaire and win enough money to make it through.
James thought he had it all, a successful vlog, money, fame, enjoying life one day at a time.
Not relationship material but meeting Marika put things into perspective. For the first time a woman was interested by all he could provide them but for his personality. Well, obviously she didn’t know anything about his life.
He had plans to win the girl but nothing happened as expected. A few mishaps and misunderstandings leading to some hilarious moments.
It was sweet, cute and steamy. Emotional at times. I really enjoyed it.
I wanted to love this book. I really did. I struggled though it. The characters both seemed all over the place. The writing was decent. I expected so much more from this book.
I always know that Elizabeth Lynx will make me laugh and fall in love with her characters! And, let me tell you, Dating Disaster with a Billionaire did not disappoint at all so, you know, make sure you grab it and dive in!
But let’s get to the story. From the very first page the humorous tone is set, and I simply adore Marika and James!
James and his youthful exuberance, Marika and the weight of the world on her shoulders with a dash of sass and a dash of feisty thrown in. Miscommunication, adoring glances, grand gestures, failed planning, and so much more kept me devouring chapter after chapter. And, picnics have a whole new meaning, let me tell you!
From awkward and terrible dates to pining and longing to a hilarious and quirky set of secondary characters, I’ve loved spending more time with the Blue Ridge Mountain Billionaires, and I know you’ll love it too!
