An engagement arranged as part of a business merger goes sideways when the billionaire’s heir lays eyes on the wrong girl first. Noah Rush has awaited his big break in his father’s high-powered corporation for years. If he can accomplish one last task Dad sets for him, Noah will finally win a seat at the corporate table with his older brothers, and thereby heal the rifts he unintentionally caused … the rifts he unintentionally caused in the family.
All he has to do is win a girl’s heart and never let her know it’s part of a business deal.
Noah may be a philandering billionaire’s heir, but he’s nobody’s idea of a ladykiller.
Throw in the fact that the girl is a competitor’s daughter with a recently-crushed heart, and this mission is beyond impossible.
However, when Noah confuses his target with her rather unpolished cousin, and promptly falls head over heels … switching his focus back to the mission threatens to tear him apart.
Can Noah afford to choose love over both his dad’s approval and the future he’s always worked for?

An amazing story, that is so fun to read!
Prepare to be drawn into the story, from the beginning paragraphs! This book is packed with mistaken identity, which leads to—well, I’ll not divulge what all it leads to. It is wonderfully written characters, and possibly very different than what you would expect, at the start. But I won’t tell you any more than that. You will be glad you found it all out on your own. Maybe. Jennifer Griffiths is an author who can surprise you, in a good way. I really recommend this book!
Distracting The Billionaire by Jennifer Griffith (4 stars)
The cutest most unselfish heroine – she’s a memorable one! The hero is just as unselfish, but needs to grow a backbone. That doesn’t take away from the enjoyable aspects of the book.
Jennifer Griffith can write quirky characters like no other. She made the heroine absolutely adorable! There are some pretty funny moments.
The angst almost got to be too much and just when I was ready to start skipping ahead (too much angst annoys me) everything came to a head and it was great!!
Great twist at the end! And, yes, the hero does grow that backbone!
*poor, **ok, ***good, ****very good, *****something special
Distracting the Billionaire – An Arranged Engagement Romance is The Billionaire’s Reluctant Bride Series book four. I can’t imagine an arranged business merger marriage NOT going wrong. It certainly does for Noah even though he was trying to follow his dad’s plan.
I loved Noah but I loved, loved Kelsey. Of course, many of the other characters are likable with a few like Uncle Walter, not so much or maybe not at all. The plot is refreshingly amusing even when feelings are hurt or out of control. Some scenes seem far-fetched like the engagement party in chapter twenty-six but so much fun to read! Is this a serious read? It is not even trying to be, which is fine by me. Real life is serious enough, this is pure escapism reading. It is entertaining from the cinnamon roll beginning to the one at the end. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed this visit to Hawaii.
The publisher/author gave me a complimentary ARC of the book which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Fabulous characters and original story!
This was a very entertaining book. I absolutely loved the character of Keeley. She is smart and always wants to make the best of any situation. She very excited to be in Hawaii with her cousin Echo on business. She has never had the chance to travel anywhere. She is enjoying the activities that Noah is taking the time to do with them on the island. However, with Echo always on her phone when they are all together it gives Keeley and Noah a chance to get to know each other.
Noah has been given the task of proposing to Echo as part of the deal Echo and Noah are negotiating. He is struggling with following his father’s instructions or following his heart.
The ending has a surprise that includes Keeley that you don’t see coming!
When Noah goes to the airport to pick up a woman his dad wants him to talk into marriage for business reasons he meets her and thinks it could work. Until it turns out the bubbly girl is not Echo she is Keeley the poor cousin. What transpires is a lot of behind the scenes deals and surprising revelations. Love can be confusing. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
Oh my gosh, what a twist! The ending to Distracting the Billionaire is perfect! I love Jennifer Griffith’s books anyway. I thought I knew where this was going but I certainly did not expect all that! I just want to tell Noah well done! I do not want to give anything away so I will just say that this well written, clean romance has some very interesting characters and a surprise ending. Once I started reading, I just had to finish the book instead of doing my chores!
