Like the story sorry that you don’t get an ending with purchasing more books
Fun to read, good character development. I enjoyed the twist on a love story with heart!
Too simple plot
Well written, easy read
A little predictable, but very entertaining.
Online dating, angry exes, foot in mouth disease, romance, is all here.
Nothing but Trouble is the first novel in the Irresistible Billionaire series by Ashley Bostock. This is my first novel by this author.
CEO Michael Vilander is the founder of a dating website. Unfortunately he needs a date for gala that happens to be on Valentine’s Day. With no other choice, he creates a fake profile on his website and it connected with a woman he think is sweet and vulnerable.
Sophia Baldwin is a twenty four year old who is working towards becoming a nurse and also taking care of her sick grandmother. Her world changes when she finds out her connection online is actuall a CEO.
Can just one date be enough? Will Michael be able to open his heart and finally see not all women are like ex?
I really enjoyed this novel. I read a lot of billionaire romances but it was refreshing to have the female lead have a different profession and I also liked that she loved to paint.
Michael was frustrating letting other control him and thoughts but I was glad when he saw things for what they were.
I am excited to read the next book and hopefully see these characters again.
Nothing But Trouble: Irresistible Billionaires by Ashley Bostock
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This story is sweet, funny, sad and beautiful. I had so many emotions with all the different situations happening between the two main characters. This was a nice easy read that left me satisfied with the whole story and how everything played out.
Michael is irritating. After meeting Sophia and having her as his pretend date for the gala and now his pretend fiance, he messes it up. His sneaky, nasty ex finds out where Sophia works and goes and takes pictures of her there to show Michael, and tells him she is a gold digger. Michael believes her and ruins it with him and Sophia. In my mind of course I’m asking, Why are you listening to your horrible ex? Do you really still have feelings for her after she broke your heart? Why don’t you talk to Sophia instead of jumping to conclusions?
Sophia is sweet, but also gets me worked up in some situations. She knows this is all pretend and of course she starts to fall in love, so when Michael calls her out on where she works, and thinks she is only after his money, and voices as much to her, she just kind of walks away. It takes her weeks before she finally says enough is enough and goes to him to tell him exactly what is happening and why she has to behave the way she does. Just when I think the situation has righted itself, Sophia has a tragedy happen in her life and of course pushes Michael away.
This book had me laughing in the beginning, gritting my teeth and crying in the middle and smiling in the end. The story was perfect and I really like how it was laid out. I’m at a point where I think the book is wrapping up and then boom, something happens to draw the story out and throw me for a loop, loved it! I would recommend this for anyone who wants a quick romance fix, this book is perfect and very entertaining.
I do really love a billionare novel i get so hooked and this novel was no different i was pulled in and kept me interested throughout. I have read quite afew with the fake relationships or fake engagements so i knew right from the get go this was definitely a novel for me. It was a quick read but still packed a punch i really enjoyed every second!
Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaire Series Book 1) by Ashley Bostock is another
great contemporary billionaire romance story from her. Ashley is one of my favourite authors
and I love the way she tells her stories. Her characters are wonderful, well developed and
always a little complex which draws you in and make the journey just a little bit more
appealing. I love stories that flow easily, even though there were a lot of bumps in the road
and are told in different POV’s. I always love to read the male perspective as well and
Ashley never disappoints in this area. This tantalising, steamy and sizzling story is a rags to
riches tale that I read in one sitting.
Michael Vilander is a self made billionaire, of a very successful online matchmaking site. He
is a one and done kind of man and closed off to relationships, thanks to his past, but he
desperately needs a date for a Gala. Between him and his grandmother, whom I adored, he
tries his own site. What follows is a captivating journey into the unknown, that changes his
life for the better but not before his past, an evil, conniving, horrible and nasty ex comes
back to play havoc.
Sophia will do anything for the one person she loves more than anything and that includes
her current job. Will that be the one thing that keeps her from happiness?
This incredibly story is well worth the read. I am looking forward to the next sizzling delight in
the series.
Such a cute book! Nothing But Trouble is the first book in the Irresistible Billionaires Series by Ashley Bostock. I love this author! She knows how to pull you in and keep you there until the book is done! This book follows Michael Vilander. He is the owner and creator of Together.com, which is a dating app. He is known to never have more than two dates and quite a bit of money. He doesn’t do the permanent dating thing ever since his gold-digger of an ex-fiance left him hanging at the altar. However, he needs a date to a fundraising event. So what does he do? He creates a fake profile on his own app in order to find a date. Who does he find? A beautiful woman who loves to bake, do yoga and paint. Sophia Baldwin spends most of her time taking care of her elderly grandmother. But she has a secret. She also doesn’t know who she really is going on a date with until the date itself. During that time to get back at Michael’s ex, Sophia decides to tell her that she and Michael are getting married. So they plan to act like they are getting married for one month. That doesn’t go quite as planned. This book definitely ends in a Happily Ever After. I love this book and I can’t wait to read who the next Billionaire will be! I would definitely recommend this book to someone into sweet billionaires!
Nothing by Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires Book 1) by Ashley Bostock
5 stars
I really enjoyed this billionaire story. It wasnt like any ive read before. These two characters were great with the instant chemistry and quick witted comebacks.
I really loved the Michaels Grandma she was a hoot. And i can’t wait to read more in this series.
Ashley Bostock has created another series, that even after book 1 Nothing But Trouble you can tell how brilliant this series Irresistible Billionaire’s will be.
I loved our main characters Michael & Sophia from the beginning this author has a brilliant way of creating real and relatable characters, and to make it even better she has created a brilliant storyline that I was captivated with from start until the very end.
This book has many twists ones that you don’t expect and ones that you hope to see happen and when they do, it brings an extra level of excitement to the read but even if you do expect them it doesn’t take the enjoyment away for this romantic read. I loved see both of these characters break down each other’s walls, but also make them see things in a different way it really brought together there already real and true connection. These two hit it off immediately and along their journey face some bumps along the way, but you can’t help but wish that after the pasts and present these two live that they will finally get a HEA!
This was brilliant read that shouldn’t be missed, I can’t wait to follow Cole’s story next in book 2 All Shook Up and I hope this isn’t the last we read of Sophia & Michael’s story.
Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires #1)
By Ashley Bostock
Rated 4 stars
While this was a nice story idea I didn’t love it like I was expecting. This story had too much inner diatribe for me. Rehashing some things over and over. That’s a bit too much for me. I like conversations between people….not so much page after page describing thoughts, reasons and issues. Granted some are needed to get the feel of things. I enjoy forward movement to be a bit faster.
I really loved the few extra characters we met. Some made me smile, others made me angry and a few I hope for future stories. The pre dinner “entertainment” was excellent! I haven’t smiled while reading for a while! I even popped out a laugh or two!
Overall I enjoyed the idea of the story and sometimes couldn’t wait to get back to it. A couple times I cringed at Michael thinking he was going to do something I didn’t want him to do. I liked both of the MC’s and hope to see more of them in future stories.
Nothing But Trouble (Irresistible Billionaires Book 1) By Ashley Bostock. Call me silly but I’m a sucker for a good Billionaire story. And this one definitely checked all my boxes. The characters are complex and relatable each having a story to tell readers. I was completely hooked from page one and couldn’t stop until the end. The author takes readers on a bit of an emotional ride but it’s worth it. I’ve read others by this author and this one is one I love just as much. I can’t wait to read more. I’m giving this book a five star review and highly recommend it.
I have enjoyed all of this author’s stories and this was no exception. NOTHING BUT TROUBLE was quick and witty and the relationship between the H and his grandmother made me smile. “Yes, Mr. Vilander?” Michael smiled. “You don’t have to call me that. I know you mean well, but it still sounds weird coming from you.”… When he offered to hire his grandmother, she had agreed only on the condition of professionalism – down to her calling him Mr. Vilander and he calling her Regina. It didn’t make it any less weird, still.
This story is a classic romance; super sweet moments, moments that pack a little heat, redemption, revenge (light hearted, of course) and swoon worthy romantic moments. There are also feelings – oh the feels. There are so many things I have highlighted as good quotes for a review, but I now realize that I would just be telling you the whole story, and that’s NOT the point of a review.
I recommend this book and I very much enjoyed listening to the playlist. I always enjoy books come with a playlist – it’s a great way to revisit favorites or find new music.
I look forward to reading more in this series in the future.
Nothing But Trouble by Ashley Bostock is the first book in the Irresistible Billionaire series. The story follows Michael Vilander who has created a matchmaking website. When he needs a date he resorts to making a fake profile. Sophia Baldwin responds to the profile. I liked the story and where this matchmaking led Michael and Sophia. The story was good overall but a few places dragged. I was not taken in by the characters at the beginning but grew to want to know their story and where it was going. Overall, this was a good story and kept me entertained. I look forward to reading more in this series.
Nothing But Trouble ( Irresistible Billionaires Book 1) by Ashley Bostock. This is the story of CEO Billionaire Michael Vilander who has created a matchmaking website Together.

I really enjoyed it and when I started I read until I was finished.
Nothing But Trouble is book one in the Irresistible Billionaires series by Ashley Bostock. I adore a good billionaire romance and I can say this author produces some of the most memorable ones. The story just flowed along, with many bumpy sections, many glorious sections, many tense sections, and endless feelings of love, even when the chips were down.
Sophia is a character I admire. She did what she had to do. She loves with her whole being, and isn’t afraid to get dirty while doing what she needs to do. She didn’t have a lot of choices, but she accepted her lot in life, gor on with it, and dreamed for the future. No way did she accept that she didn’t have option. She just had to bide her time. Her heart was huge, and she just would not cave and wallow. She would rise and be who she wanted one day.
Michael was a mega rich man who had it all. Even things he didn’t want. Like shallow people trying to gain a free ride. He just wanted to find the “one”. When he was burnt too many times, he decided to take what he needed and leave the emotional stuff to others. Not his angle, anymore. When he meets Sophia, he is a little blindsided. From her looks, her manner, her gentleness, and her innocence. Funny events occurred, and before he knew it, he had a fiancee!! Getting to know these two getting to know each other was enlightening and sweet. But secrets are revealled and their foundation shaken to the core.
Nothing But Trouble was a complete and dramatic romance. It had so much, and the author delicately unveiled each snippet so achingly alluring, I was hanging off every word. So addictive. So tantalising. Reading this story was unforgettable enjoyment. 5 stars.
Ashley Bostock’s Nothing But Trouble is the first book of the Irresistible Billionaires series. This romance was cute and appealing in how it approached online dating, or at least, the use of an online dating tool. Michael and Sophia’s characters were each seeking something and found something other than what they were initially planning on. Life always seems to have a way of throwing those curve balls at us when least expected. That is fully showcased in this story. I found the characters fun, witty, and challenged in their own individual ways. The drama added some additional spice to the story to overcome, but it was done in a way that fit with the story line and theme. This is a series for any romance lover to read, as it features a savvy, sexy and irresistible billionaire and includes some hot chemistry alongside it.
