From the New York Times Bestselling authors of Cocky Bastard and Stuck-Up Suit, comes a sexy new standalone novel.I met Bianca in an elevator.She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.The beautiful raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister … businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags” – her afternoon appointment.
Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type – snobby, over educated, silver-spooned men who didn’t appreciate the simple things in life.
So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t – a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn’t want it to end.
I began dating her as “Jay” – all the while letting her interview the real me over email.
I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.
I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.
I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.
And she was falling for two men.
Only, both men were me.
And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.
Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for what came after.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Yes, I saw the plot twist coming a mile away. Did it matter? Not at all!
The convoluted journey this couple takes to their HEA will have the reader laughing, crying and cheering them on.
Fate definitely likes to play
Bianca & Dex’s journey is sweet, sexy, at times funny, a little drama filled, and a bit tender. Dex meets his dream woman by accident and proceeds to do things wrong at first. But their chemistry is undeniable. After they get their mama and daddy drama out of the way. loved it. Especially Chance’s cameo.
What a fun read! I enjoyed this book so much! I loved the lie and the whole scenario but also happy it didn’t drag on too long and the characters had a chance to work through it. The family stuff at the end seemed a bit random at first read, but it did work for the story. I read this in one day across multiple sittings, but continued to ignore my own stuff in favour of going back to it.
An emotional, captivating, and seductive journey to go on with Bianca and Dex. There were many rough and complicated moments between these two, but the connection they had with one another could not be fractured. Their bond was beautiful. I enjoyed every moment of this story.
This was another book by these two where I really enjoyed and laughed. Dex and Bianca were a cute couple. I loved quite a few things about this book!
Well I think I am, firmly in love with Dex Truitt goodness me that was another fantastic novel by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, I swear these two could write an instruction Manuel and I would read it and love it.
I pretty much demolished this book in one sitting I could not put it down, I was even thinking about this book while I was at work, in the shower, eating dinner I just wanted to get into it to the point where I actually read when I was supposed to be working.
Bianca was such a fun character I really liked her and she wasn’t to indepth, she didn’t trust men, she loved her career and she knew what she wanted out of life, well she thought she did until she met Dex.
Dex would have to be one of my favourite guys that these two have written, I loved all his sexual innuendos they had be laughing out loud, I loved how he took to his wooing Bianca to extremes at certain times, but those extreme times bought him, friends, a dog and people to help him see the error in his ways. Loved everything about his character I just wanted to eat him up.
What a fantastic novel, it made me laugh, it had me hooked from the start. If your looking for a fantastic rom com then this should be you go too absolutely loved it.
I wish I could give this more stars but I can’t so a massive 5 stars for this baby
Have you ever read a book and wished you could un read it and experience that “first read feeling” again? That’s how this book made me feel after reading. I honestly can’t even write a review to give this book justice.
Bianca and Dex relationship is based on a little white lie that spirals out of control. I honestly thought I knew where this story was going and I had no idea I would be in for the ride of my life!! The angst was off the charts in this book. My heart was in my chest as the story progressed. How it is possible that book can make feel this way. I laughed and cried with each character. I felt their pain, I felt their doubts and I felt their love and passion. It’s been awhile since I’ve had such a strong connection and reaction to a book. There were so many twist and turns that I didn’t see coming.
Penelope and Vi have done it again! These two together are just GOLD! The way the story flowed was everything. I laughed, smiled, swooned and cried while reading this story. It’s very rare that books can make me
feel this way. I was instantly sucked into this story from the very beginning and I didn’t want it to end. Every book by these two has just gotten better and better. They constantly raise the bar with each release and this book was nothing short of amazing. This book left me feeling a slew of emotions and I’m tearing up just thinking about certain parts of this story. I don’t know how they think of this and they definitely up the ante with this book. Mister Moneybags has become my new favorite by the duo. I honestly can’t wait to see how you ladies top this book.
Hang on to you seat! This book definitely has a few surprises in it’s pages. Loved the story from beginning to end. Dex and Bianca had an uncertain beginning and an even rockier middle. But these two, have to be two of my favorites. Oh, and I loved the little cameo of Chance from the original Cocky Bastard book.
An Excellent story,that is full of surprises and curve balls.
Bianca and Dex’s relationship starts on a lie that just keeps snowballing and Dex goes to many lengths to keep up with the lie,to keep Bianca in his life.
He had the best of intentions,wanting Bianca to get to know him and not the pre concieved notions that she had of men in suits with money….He was a suit with money,but when they met he was dressed down and gave her another name not the famous mysterious Dex Truitt that he was and who Bianca was supposed to interview for magazine she worked for.
This book was one big rollercoaster and had so many ups and downs,they had so much chemistry between them..But the lie would soon bite Dex in the ass.
I really enjoyed reading their journey together and I found it emotional towards the end it was heart wrenching when an unexpected revelation puts a wrench in the relationship that they were trying to form.It was so intense.
Mister Moneybags is another success for Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland ,that kept me on my toes and had my heart pitter pattering,it is so good.
Loved it.
I highly recommend it.
5 Amazing stars
I loved this book! It was full of sexy banter that had me rolling. The chemistry between the characters was off the charts. So many secrets and so much angst packed in every page. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone.
I enjoyed reading Mister Moneybags, the first half of the book in particular when we were witnessing Dex finding himself in some difficult situations and digging himself a bigger hole in almost every scene. That was fun and exciting and I loved the witty banter between him and Bianca and also the anticipation of what was going to happen next.
The second part of the book and the twist that happened in the story wasn’t for me. I felt it took away all the feel-good factors that I was enjoying and I’d label that part of the story to be a bit soap opera-ish, and I don’t watch soap operas.
I loved the characters Dex and Bianca. I loved their interactions. There is an instant attraction between them which I enjoyed witnessing. I just wish the authors had ended the story before the big plot twist.
Their relationship started with a lie, and a lie might just be what ends it, only this lie wasn’t one of their own. There are several twists/surprises in this book, and a little bit of angst when the secrets start to be revealed. There are many cute, funny and sweet moments as well. Dex (the Hero) started with the lies, though to be fair, it wasn’t in a malicious way. And he worked hard to maintain that façade. (Lots of humor to see everything he does and just how far he goes.) Bianca (the Heroine) has some trust issues and Dex’s lies do nothing to help him. She is smart, but also has some vulnerability. There is a bonus with the small bits featuring a familiar goat named Pixie. 😉 There is a taste of the taboo/forbidden. The book reads easily and quickly, alternating between POVs. The actual sexual content is limited, but there is lots of talk about it. Due to some of the subject matter, I would suggest this for mature readers.
Another great romance from my favorite writing duo! This book had me cracking up and swooning as usual. Bianca meets a delivery man she thinks is named Jay in an elevator. She has no idea he is really Dex, the man she is set to interview and already judging as being selfish and heartless because he’s rich. Dex is intrigued by Bianca and comes up with the lie about who he is so he can get to know her better. As all lies, it blows up in his face. But this time it might end up being okay. And this is just the start of this story. As Bianca and Dex find a way to really get to know each other, the truth of their families comes to light and there may be no chance for them to have a future. That’s all I’m telling you! So many moments had me shocked and I was on the edge of my seat. Of course there were many laugh out loud moments and moments that had me swooning hard. Readers will fall in love with these characters right away. And these narrators were the perfect voices for Dex and Bianca. They really brought them and their story to life. Warning, you won’t be able to put this book down or stop listening. It will hook you that much.
“This here is a good set. It’s a little pricey at just over a hundred bucks, but they’re high-grade steel, and it has your chisel, a couple of gouges, and a v-parting tool.” A v-parting tool? You don’t say? I have one of those myself.
Mister Moneybags was so easy to read, the banter had me in fits of laughter and giggling. I was engaged in the storyline from the first pages, enthralled by the characters and the relatable situations they found themselves in. It had the right mix of humour, romance and drama that kept me turning page after page.
I warmed up to Mister Moneybags instantly and absolutely loved his antics. I couldn’t imagine how Dex was going to get himself out of the hole he was digging. However at the same time I got why he did it. Just like most of us he had some deep conversations with his dog Bandit. I’d say those nannies did a great job bringing him up, because he had morals worth respecting. Given the circumstances I think many would consider whether the risk outweighed the benefits of his dilemma.
Bianca had been hurt and found it hard to trust, because they’d all been liars. It was the one thing she could never except…being told lies. She was attracted to Jay, he was so different and easy going. As she continued interviewing Dex she found herself thinking of him as a friend, but wanted more. Confusion as to what this meant, because she liked them both even though she had never met Dex. Innocently one day she caught onto the lie and decided to catch the fly in her web. Then she got hit with a bombshell that changed everything about her life.
Bianca doesn’t trust men easily, she has been let down her entire life. Wealthy men are the worst. On her way to interview Dex Truitt she get stuck in an elevator with him. Only she has no idea who he really is. Dex decides to be someone ordinary in order to get to know her. One day he is going to have to tell her that Jay/Dex are one in the same. Will it blow up in his face and both of them will lose her?
The interview chats between Dex and Bianca are great and made me laugh. Dex wants to be a better man than his father but isn’t sure how to get past Sr’s reputation. He is so sweet as Jay and puts Bianca on the spot as Dex. Vi and Penelope threw in some crazy surprises along the way. Mister Moneybags kept me reading right to the end. Loving this series!
Fantastic. Vi Keeland has quickly become one of my all time favorite authors.
This was a fun read. Loved the story, the characters. It was funny, chaotic, living, anxious, hot. I loved it all. Thank you Vi and Penelope for a great couple!
I loved the first meeting these two had.
I absolutely loved the banter these two had especially when they first meet. I loved the snarky back and forth.
Dex was a fun guy to read about. I loved how he came up with “Jay” and how he had to split his time between them. I loved when he would get jealous of himself. I liked all the different faces of Dex. He was funny, snarky, sexy thought the whole book but yet at the end when real life hit them, he stepped up and told Bianca what he wanted and that his feeling weren’t going to change. He became the person Bianca could lean on.
Bianca was an interesting character to read about. She was stubborn and had very specific misconceptions about rich people that she had to overcome. I loved the texts and phone calls between these two whether she was talking to Dex or Jay.
Another winning book from a favorite writing team for me. When I see a book from them I haven’t read yet, I want to jump right in with both feet, cos I know I’ll be entertained, fall for the H in some way and enjoy the story that I don’t want to end. They have just the right mix of hot, sexy alphas, usually with a strong, smart leading lady to keep them stepping! What’s not to love??? It’s why I love reading romance..the HEA is the ‘spice’ (does anyone get that reference???)…lol and getting there is half the fun!
Bianca, Dex and the fun way they met was an instant draw to me. The lengths that Dex went to be a ‘normal’ guy to attract her attention was in one sense, a bad move and in the other, kind of wild to see how far he would dig himself into that hole. What hole is that you say? Well, read this romance by these 2 talented ladies and find out! I loved his sweet hidden side that not many would expect him to have. Bianca didn’t let him off easy, which is just the kick Mr. Moneybags needed! All in all, another escape to the fantasy world of love and romance where anything is possible!
Another fantastic book by this amazing author duo. Absolutely loved Dex and Bianca, and the twist in the story was…..WOW! I did not see it coming and it kept me on the edge of my seat holding my breath. Dex’s relationship with Jelani was inspiring and heartwarming to witness. A definite must read!
