This was a really sweet clean romance and a great addition to the series. I really liked both Gemma and Antoine they were really good likable characters and were great together. If you have enjoyed the previous books in the series as much as I did then you won’t want to miss this one.
Surprised By The Billionaire is a romantic story of falling in love with a billionaire that made everyone of her dreams come true. It was just like a modern day Cinderella story, handsome Prince and all.
This is one of the sweetest love stories I have ever read.
The author is a wonderful storyteller and this is such a beautiful, heartwarming romance.
It had me under its spell from beginning to end. I just loved it!
This book had me laughing and crying and I could not be happier with their HEA and how everything played out.

A delightful wonderful romantic standalone read within a fantastic series. The characters were interesting, realistic and had great dialogue. This well written romance that included secrets, trust issues from previous burns, a little drama, and a whole lotta romance, catching my attention at the very beginning and keeping me interested throughout the entire book in this fun story. Enjoying the swoony romantic gestures with flowers and phases on fantastic dates to places that made you want to just be there. I voluntarily reviewed this ARC.
This was fairy-tale romance starting with meeting by bumping into each other and Gemma spilling wine on Antoine. I loved reading about the places they visited in Texas, Canada, and France while Antoine was dating her. It made me want to go there. And he was such a swoony romantic character with his phrases, flowers, and romantic gestures. But he was not without his faults keeping secrets from her. And Gemma had trouble trusting after she was burned by her cheating college boyfriend. Still I was rooting for them to make it to their happily ever after. Her friend and neighbor Paige was great and deserves her own romance, as does the owner of his security company who went above and beyond in his job looking out for Gemma, Garrison.
Book four in the Bluebonnets & Billionaires series a book I was not putting down until I had finished reading it. Canadian billionaire Antoine Bergeron and Texan Gemma Tyler meet and start dating, but Antoine does not talk about his past. I enjoyed reading how these two finally open up to each other and how they get their happy ending. I have read the first book and this one I now want to read the other books in this series.

Wonderful Book
Remi Carrington did it again, what a lovely story! The first meeting is pretty adorable, and I just thoroughly enjoyed this one. Gemma and Antoine are a lovely couple. It’s fun how he keeps showing up to surprise her. Yep, another really great one, in a really great series!

Remi Carrington has given us a delightful story of the impulsive, no filter, personal shopper, Texan Gemma and wealthy, very much in control, Canadian, Antoine. From their beginning when Gemma spills red wine on Antoine’s white shirt, you know that these two have a connection and will have several issues to settle before they can have a happily ever after, such as money, Texas/Canada and most importantly a secret he is keeping even though everyone tells him that is a mistake. I totally enjoyed the development of the plot and characters, main and supporting. A fun book.
Keeping secrets have a way of backfiring and come out when you least expect as in the case with Antoine. He and Gemma met when she was exiting an art gallery and spilled red wine on his shirt. They were captivated with each other but she was to embarrassed to stay. It turned out that he was a friend of one of her clients and this time when they met she didn’t run. In fact their chemistry had them getting up close and personal but when his sister revealed his past Gemma heard it and ran. Will Antoine be able explain himself and get back the woman he loves?

Antoine and Gemma’s meeting was cute and dorky. Their chemistry and growth were well written, well-developed characters and so likable you’ll want the book to keep going.

Surprised by the Billionaire #4 – Another delightful, sweet addition to the series. I enjoy reading the stories of Ms. Carrington/Humphrey as they are always about real people that you feel you know or have met. In other words, her characters are realistic and interesting with good dialog. The storylines always keep my interest and the pace is steady without any boring spots or silliness. Sorry for the boring review, but it’s so hard to write a review on this series without turning it into a book report; there is so much good but you need to discover that for yourself. Although it is not necessary, I recommend reading the books in order since the characters sometimes appear in another story, like Gemma did in Charmed #2. I contacted the author to review her books. 5*
Bluebonnets & Billionaires series:
Dating the Billionaire’s Granddaughter #0 – I love this author’s work (AKA Pamela Humphrey) and this series is another reading treat from one of my favorite authors. Set in San Antonio, (yes, a very important character, to me) this well written, sweet romance is so easy to get immersed in and the pages fly by too quickly. The storylines are interesting and the characters add to the weave of the story. Most are likable, actually Grandpa is OK, he’s just not reasonable. Good mechanics are worth their weight in gold. Ms. C does a wonderful job with her descriptions, leaving the reader with clear pictures upon which to build upon in their imaginations. I was lucky enough to have the second book of this series, so it was a fun, entertaining chain read. I contacted the author to review her books. 5*
Next Door to the Billionaire #1 – We’re still in San Antonio, a wonderful character on its own. The same characters from the first book Dating the Billionaire’s Granddaughter are still with us. The romantic couple is just as fun and entertaining as DTBG. Again, the storylines weave with the characters into a good paced, entertaining, clean story that makes it hard to put the book down. It would be so easy to give a book report on these two lovely books, but I don’t want to rob you of a good stories that make you laugh, and feel good when you finish the books. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 5*
Charmed by the Billionaire #2 – Another delightful story from one of my favorite authors. This is a well written, sweet romance just like the other two books in this series. The storylines weave a delightful story that’s easy to get lost in the pages and hard to put down. The characters are likeable and work well together. Ms. C does a good job with describing everyone and everything without the boring details, but still clear and vivid. While not important to read in order, there’s just a depth added from knowing all the characters and their stories as they appear. 5*
Second Chance with the Billionaire #3 – Another delightful addition to the Bluebonnets & Billionaires Series. I love this author’s work and this book is another fun way to spend a little time getting lost in a heartwarming and sweet romance. The storylines and interesting characters keep the reader’s interest and make it difficult to put down. Ms. Carrington has talent when it comes to storytelling and her vivid descriptions just place the reader in the mist of the story – good ole fly on the wall. I contacted Ms. Humphrey to review her books. 5*
Bluebonnets & Billionaires series end.
I loved Surprised by the Billionaire by Remi Carrington! The main characters Gemma and Antoine were well-developed and so likable but not so perfect that they were too good to be true. The story keep me turning pages late into the night during our beach trip. This would be a great vacation read with a happily-ever-after ending–highly recommend!
Absolutely fantastic! A well written emotionally deep romance. The storyline is flawless, funny, witty, enjoyable, and very interesting. The story flows smoothly and moves along at a brisk pace with a few ups and downs and a mix of emotions on every page. The chemistry between them is intense and their love scenes are beautifully written and HOT!
Another clean, sweet romance story by one of my favorite authors. Of course there are secrets that have to be overcome & is there an HEA? You won’t be disappointed reading this book. I received an ARC. This is my honest, voluntary review.
Surprised by the Billionaire is an absolute joy to read. Gemma and Antoine are a delightful couple. They definitely have a meet cute. She says whatever is on her mind. He delights in giving gifts to the personal shopper! It is a long way from Canada to Texas. Can they make this work? You will have to read this thoroughly engaging book to find out.
I loved this book! It is So cute!
Ha! It’ll spoil me for others!
Gemma and Antoine meet at an art gallery. Let me rephrase that… Gemma ran into Antoine, literally, spilling red wine on his white shirt and all over her face. This was their beginning.
Gemma is a woman who has no filter and is totally open in expressing herself.
Antoine is a sweetheart!
This is their story.
