An enjoyable nanny/boss/pretend wife romance read. Penny and Drew were likable characters that has great chemistry that heats up as their story progress. Entertaining from the start with a well written storyline and easy to read, this newest release in a new series did not disappoint. Can’t wait for the next book.
She wasn’t planning to become a nanny, but it lifted her spirits and she loved the job….then the pretend wife part took effect. She knew he didn’t know about her past and it was suffocating her. When it all exploded, she had expected it and even though it hurt, she moved on and kept moving. When he does the unexpected, that’s when it all came rushing in. The love and heartbreak she’d felt being apart from him. Gotta love those heas

Mixing business with pleasure is always an emotional transaction. I like Penny, she has a big heart, is an excellent Nanny and I admire her tenacity for trying to make lemonade with the lemons her career has been given. Sometimes moving back will spring you forward. Drew is in “can’t see the forest for the trees” mode, he’s a great dad and has a calm demeanor, most times. Great couple that compliment one another, have magnetic chemistry and business smarts. Love is the glue that will patch their wounds of the past.

When Penny arrived for her interview she was applying for a position that she applied for. In a misunderstanding when Drew went to get her from the reception area, she was reading to his son. This led Drew to assume she was there for the nanny position. She did not make the correction during the interview as she really needed a job, so she went ahead with the nanny position as she had a great rapport with Logan.
Throughout the following days she was able to get Logan into his routine and when Logan went to say goodnight one evening to his dad while entertaining a business associate, that is when the assumption was made that Drew and Penny were married. As Drew was trying to woo the associate in buying his company, he did not make the correction as he felt that being married would work out better to help him acquire the other company.
As they continue with the arrangement they grow closer together. Until an event, both of their answers to the business associates spouses do not match, and their act falls apart. It isn’t until Drew realizes with the help of his brothers that Penny is right for him, that he acknowledges this and is able to get her back and save the deal.

Loved Penny and Drew and especially little Logan. Penny is brilliant in business, but her father didn’t take her advice and he lost his business and Penny lost her job. So she moved to the West Coast and sent in a resume to work for Preston Logistics. But Preston Logistics was looking for two employees, and one was a nanny for Drew Preston’s little son. Because Penny’s application showed she worked as a nanny while in college, Drew thought that was the position she was applying for and hires her. She needs a job, takes it, and falls in love with little Logan. But along the way she ends up helping Drew with his presentations, and pretending to be his wife to seal a deal. But when it counts, he doesn’t listen to her advice, and not only is their developing relationship in jeopardy but he could lose his business.

Tell the truth; it’s easier than living a lie
Drew Preston needed a nanny; his last one had quit. Penelope “Penny” Fox was applying for a logistic position in Preston Logistics; however, when Drew offers her the nanny position, she takes it. It’s a live-in position, starting immediately. She and his young son, Logan, hit it off right away.
Preston Logistics is trying to buy a company or two to strengthen the company’s standing and services. He has invited Jack and Lisa Halloway to his home for a meal to try to convince them that he is the right fit to purchase their company’s legacy.
Penny brings Logan to say goodnight to his dad, the Halloways mistake Penny for Drew’s wife. His eyes beg her to play along. (Later, Penny agrees to continue the charade.) Everything is going well until it isn’t! Living a lie isn’t easy. What happens when it all falls apart?

#Penney arrived at Drew’s office to interview for a job to give her a new start in the business world. Due to a misunderstanding she is hired to a nanny for Drew’s son. Another misunderstanding by a business associate who assumes Penney is Drew’s wife causes the pretend wife myth to continue for weeks. The story continues as both Penney and Drew must deal with the pretense.
The story was enjoyable but there were just too many misunderstandings for me. I did enjoy the epilogue to see how everything finally ends.

I loved reading The Billionaire’s Pretend Wife by Leslie North!!! It was such a great read. It was a simple misunderstanding in 2 parts that turned into the greatest blessing for Drew and Penelope. Penelope thought she was applying for an assistant position to Drew but ended up being a nanny to his son Logan. Drew is trying to acquire a company and the husband and wife think that Penelope is the wife of Drew. But somewhere in all of these misunderstandings, Drew and Penny fall in love. It was a short read, but it was so good!!! I highly recommend reading this book. The cover is not bad to look at. I can picture Drew looking like this!!!

Probably my favorite couple from this author and I’ve read everything she’s written thus far Drew and Penny are such a heartwarming, realistic, and compatible couple and to throw in an adorable little kid just made this story a true pleasure to read I did however feel that some parts were a bit rushed or forced especially the gala “fight” It didn’t really make much sense but it wasn’t that big of issue and easily dismissed in favor of the drama that unfolded after I also was disapointed in the whole self indulging part, seriously enough of those already, I may be many things but a prude most certainly isn’t one of them but this author seems to love writing those scenes in detail while glossing over the actual bedroom moments when the couple’s finally cave into their chemistry it’s a trend with practically all of this author’s books that I was so hoping was over regardless if all of that Drew and Penny’s story is one worth picking up

The author has once again brought us a wonderful story. Penny is looking to restart her life and takes a job as a nanny. Drew is focused on his business endeavors and his son. One slip finds them pretending to be married and lines begin to blur. Logan is the cutest little boy bouncing around with joy. As usual the characters are generous and kind and they will keep you glued to the pages.
The story is a build-up, but I fell disconnected from the characters and I don’t think they were connected that much in the beginning. But with the development and the build-up, things changed. I loved the fact that the heroine assumed her attraction which in return made the hero come to terms with his too (he was fighting it, both actually but she let go first) *spoilers* (maybe). I love that I get to read what both sides are thinking. It gives more depth to the story. It was a predictable story but happy ending after all.

The fake relationship is one of my favorite themes to read. There’s just so much angst and drama with all the secrets and lies, that you know you’re going to be in for an emotional read. This book was no exception. I loved Penny and I adored the precocious Logan. Drew on the other hand, incited the urge to smack him. Repeatedly. It’s to the author’s credit that I was so invested in Penny’s happy ending that I spent so much time not really liking our hero when he hurt her. I look forward to seeing what else is coming for the other Preston siblings.
