The Billionaire Matchmaker Test by Elle James is the fifth book in the Billionaire Online Dating Service series and definitely worth reading. This is the first book I’ve read in the series and I really enjoyed it. It was a very fun read!
Tag has been waiting for Leslie to get over the loss of her husband Randy who was Tag’s best friend before letting her know how much he cares for her and has for a long time. He’s hoping that his plan for them to use her online dating service will be the perfect way to show her how much they have in common and how much they have come to love each other.
I’m definitely looking forward to reading more books in the series in the future!
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
The Billionaire Matchmaker Test
Elle James
A sweet romance that has you thinking of the movies ‘You’ve Got Mail’ and ‘Shop Around the Corner’. Love how Tag works on showing Leslie that he is the one for her. Their insecurities draw you in until the very end.
Loved this story!!
ARC for honest review with no compensation
The Billionaire Matchmaker Test is book 5 in the Billionaire Online Dating series (BODS) by Elle James about the woman behind BODS.
Leslie Lamb is the woman behind the BODS dating app, a widow who had her one true love and lost him to cancer has no interest in using the app but when her best friend says “put your money where your mouth is“ she decides to use it.
Taggert “Tag” Bronson was friends with Leslie and her late husband, even though he was secretly in love with her. He kept his feelings very well hidden from everyone. Now years later he is determined to show Leslie that he can be more than just her best friend. So…being a software guru Tag does some behind-the-scenes programming and voilà Leslie is matched with his alter ego… Joe.
What happens next will keep you turning the pages to see what Tag/Joe are up to…laughter, drama, sparks and a long time friendship that could turn into love! What an amazing series…will there be more?
The Billionaire Matchmaker Test is the fifth book in The Billionaire Online Dating Service Series. This story had me hooked from the get-go. It kept me entertained the whole way through. I definitely recommend it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
I adored this book. I couldn’t put it down. I have been eagerly looking forward to these two for awhile now. I was not disappointed. Taggert (Tag) Bronson and Leslie Lamb have been friends for a long time. Tag has been in love with Leslie practically from the beginning. Tag, Leslie and Randy met at the same time. Both Leslie and Randy were ready to settle down and have children, Tag wasn’t, so Randy and Leslie married. Randy passed away from cancer. Tag’s love for Leslie has grown to the point that he is ready with a plan to get Leslie to romantically love him back. The plan is one that was thoroughly intriguing and fully of comedic scenes with their “double” dates.
I adored the dual POV format. Seeing the characters’ thoughts (especially Leslie’s) as they journey to their HEA was touching. I loved Tag and his concern for his BFF and her feelings for her deceased husband, his other BFF. Leslie on the other hand doesn’t want to be disloyal to Randy and is conflicted about moving on even after 4 years of mourning. The very real raw emotions were thought-provoking.
This is a clean, sweet romance of best friends moving past the line of best friends and into romance. It was so enjoyable I really hated to see the words, The End. I highly recommend this book to anyone. While this can be a stand-alone and the prior couples are friends and make multiple appearances, you don’t have to read them. I would highly suggest it though as they are fantastic as well.
I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions, they were unsolicited. I received this book through Book Sprout. I am a big fan of Elle James. I am not a fan of any Billionaire books, but decided to give this a shot. I was pleasantly surprised. I have not read books 1-4 and I wish I had. This can be read as a stand alone, but it would have been enhanced and more enjoyable if I had read the previous ones, especially as they all met their match through the online dating website that Leslie created. Leslie lost her husband, Randy 4 years ago. Her best friend and her husbands bestfriend Tag has been there ever since, assisting her in with her online service, supporting her, watching out for her. He has been in loved with her from day 1, but wasn’t ready, now he is. They each go on dates the service has set up for them, but arrange as double dates so they can support each other. This is a cute, clean romance and enjoyable read.
This was a nice fun read for me and I went and purchased the rest of this series. Tag and Leslie. She owns a billionaire matchmaker service. Tag is her dead husband`s best friend and has always been looking out for her. They have this attraction and friendship and she doesn’t want to jeopardize it. Will she understand that she can be happy and move forward . A great story with amazing characters. I honestly volunteered to review this story.
Another fun story in this series with mega rich men finding their soul mates.
Can these two see what’s actually right under their noses? I quite enjoyed that they had growth together and hated to risk that long term friendship.
A fun plot and entertaining characters, I really enjoyed it.
No Spoilers I love this series because of the character development and the storyline. Love that you can read in any order and still be able to understand the main story. This book involves Leslie and Tag and begs the question can friends become lovers and will the computer match them up. Must read this book Elle is an amazing author and pulls no punches with her books
I received as an ARC from the author. I had not read the four before this but I figured out the group quickly. I liked how they all wanted Leslie to find happiness and start living again. Of course I loved how they finished their online dating!
Taggart and Leslie have great chemistry as friends. Taggart (Tag) has been in love with Leslie for a long time. Leslie is the widow of his best friend. Taggart has waited for her grief to wane, now it’s time to reach for a little happiness of his own. Wonderful story with great friends helping along and love meant to be. Standalone and wonderful series. This is book 5.
I voluntarily received this ARC in exchange for an honest opinion.
I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of this book and I voluntarily chose to review it. I love the BOD’s stories. Yes, this is book 5 and I have read most of them. I don’t do spoilers so go get this book and see that it is a wonderful story. This book is well written and the characters are so believable plus some old friends show up, they are from previous stories. I loved seeing how they have evolved. Elle James is a favorite author of mine and I have been reading her for a long time. I am never disappointed with one of her books. I encourage you to get this one it is worth it.

Taggert Bronson (TAG), the last of the Billionaire Anonymous Club, finally gets his turn for a happy ever after, at Billionaire Online Dating Service (BODS). But, Tag has a plan to get the women he has loves for a long time, Leslie Lamb, the founder of BODS. As Tag and Leslie dance around their feelings for each other, the people that BODS matched them to find themselves matching up with Leslie’s date and Tag’s date.
I believe you will like this installment for the BODS series, even though there are no love scenes. You will think that finally, at 84% Tag and Leslie are going to act on their attraction and passion for each other. However, all we get is a statement from Leslie, ….. “Make love to me”. The next page is the epilog, and Tag and Leslie are playing match maters with the third match in hopes that this couple will find each other as the first two matches did.
This is another great addition to this wonderful series and is a true friends to lovers story. Tag had always loved Leslie but she fell in love with his best friend and married him but four years ago he died but Leslie is still mourning him. Tag uses a program that Leslie invented that matches people to match her to him Will she finally realise that he is the one for her now that he has finally grown up.
This was a such a sweet second chance romance. Tag and Leslie used to be in love but neither knew nor were they ready. Now years later Tag is ready and he wants the girl so decides to go about getting her to fall in love with him without knowing its him. Leslie still struggles with moving on after the loss of her husband years ago and decides to give dating a chance only to find out she loves her bestfriend. Once these two quit fight their connection it is the most amazing love story.
This is a true romance, a friend to lovers story. One of learning what you want most is right in front of you. Tag has loved Leslie for a long time, but lost her to his best friend. Leslie is still grieving for her late husband. Her recently paired friends want her to have a happily ever after as well. They each reluctantly go on a couple of dates, knowing this is not who they want. Will they get a second chance to find love? Will Leslie be mad that Tag deceived her? I have definitely got to read the other books.
The last billionaire bachelor Taggert is ready to finally take the plunge and he has a certain woman in mind, his best friend Leslie, who is the mastermind to the billionaire dating app. He decides to go through extreme measures to make Leslie fall in love with him and consider more than just a friend. Leslie is still grieving her late husband and has finally decided to get back in the dating game and tests out her app. When she is paired with four bachelors, she will need to decide to go ahead, continue grieving or finally act on her growing feelings for Taggert….if she decides what he planned is worth the chance.
A good sweet read with a friends to lovers romance. I liked these two and was waiting for their book after their appearances in the previous ones. Taggert was great, kind, generous and matured from the man he used to be to the one that Leslie could have a future with. I liked the ending and how Leslie reacts to Taggert’s secret.
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy and expressed my honest opinion*
Great ending to the BODS series. Tag and Leslie have a history and it’s hard to step over that friends line sometimes. Tag knew he loved Leslie but he had to be sure she loved him. Fun and sexy. Great read!
I received an arc and voluntarily provided my honest review.
I’ve loved this series and am so happy to read Tag and Leslie’s story. The Billionaire Matchmaker Test by Elle James was as awesome as I hoped it would be. Ms. James has once again delivered a phenomenal book loaded with a spectacular group of characters. Tag loved Leslie but his best friend loved her too. He stayed close to them when they married and has been there for Leslie when her husband died. He’s waited four years for her to be ready to move on, and he wants her to move on to him. Leslie and Tag’s story is packed with drama, humor and a little spice. I loved this book from cover to cover and look forward to my next book by Elle James. The Billionaire Matchmaker Test is book 5 of the Billionaire Online Dating Service Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Bookfunnel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
