Ben Jackson is a prominent venture capitalist for a large firm in Seattle. Budding start-up companies clamor for his recognition—and funding—but now, he’s also attracting unwelcome attention from his company’s shareholders. He’s brilliant and wildly successful, yet untethered and unpredictable, making investors wonder if they can put their faith in him. To alleviate their doubts, Ben decides to … to prove he’s settling down by convincing a woman to pose as his fiancée. Now, he just needs to find her.
A talented app developer with a keen eye for design, Frankie Lawler longs to break free from the generic, mundane projects she’s assigned to at work—namely, their mediocre dating app, Sparkly. Fulfilling her dreams of launching her own company would not only give her total creative freedom, but the satisfaction of making a name for herself. But opening her own business seems like a far-fetched idea when the costs are beyond her means.
One day, their paths cross when Frankie’s team meets with Ben, hoping he’ll invest in Sparkly. Ben isn’t impressed with the app—but he is by the attractive developer he meets there. Always thinking, Ben comes up with a better use for the matchmaking app: to pair users in need of temporary fake relationships in order to appease outsiders.
While her team isn’t interested in the novel concept, Frankie is. Ben asks her to help develop his version of the app, Pretendr, and offers to give her fifty percent of the profits and funding for her own company, but under one condition: she’ll agree to test the app by playing the role of his fake fiancée in public.
Soon, the line between truth and fiction begins to blur, leaving them both wondering just how much of their actions are still for show.
The Billionaire’s Match is a 20,000 word novella, perfect to curl up with if you’re looking for a sweet, fun, quick read on the go.

Oh, I’m happy to see that Pretendr had another successful match! I can’t wait for another Pretendr match. Rhett and Lacey’s story was super cute, I wonder what ever happened to Kristina? Also, I loved how this story was in the fabulously awesome town of Leavenworth, love going there in the summer for Brats and ice cream, family tradition. Yes, a story you must read, with a wonderful HEA.

A quick, romantic, steamy, sweet, passionate read. Well written with nice story line and plot. Likeable characters that are well described. I would have like them to be more developed and have a bit more depth.
A fun and easy read that is captivating and enjoyable to read.
A new author to me but absolutely a surprise in the most positive way.
So I was very pleased to see how this was a different kind of storyline. I like how they start out as strangers and then progress to business partners who fall in love without even noticing its happening. Ben and Frankie are inspirational. They may have initially spent time together as business associates pretending to be a couple, but their pretend dates gave them a chance to be themselves and get to know each other without any pressures either.

A short, sweet, easy read
This is such a sweet story. I liked Ben and Frankie. They really meshed together. I’m glad Ben was able to realize his true feelings for Frankie so they could take their relationship to the next level and not have to play pretend anymore. It would have gotten uneasy between them and they didn’t need to have to go through that. Loved the HEA!
This was a sweet story, but I only gave it a 3 because it did not flow. There were spots that jumped over time and place. Rhett is a lumberjack looking to buy land, but he can’t buy it unless he is married. Lacey is tired of everyone wanting her to get married. So they both get on a site for pretenders to act out what they need. Can they do it? Can they fool everyone? What will happen if they get what they want?

It was a short read and the story line was great. I do not know what it was it was but I could not fully get into the book. It is definitely worth checking out.

Ben and Frankie
Okay, the reason for the three stars is the book was lacking a few essential details and the title was misleading.
First off why would Ben be working for someone else if he is the billionaire…inquiring minds want to know, Maybe I am reading the book wrong and it is talking about the owners of the company the Chase brothers. What about Gretchen aka creepy spinster?
The story was kind of cute and funny. I did not hate the book but it just felt a little underwritten.
