Gregor Beaumont is in a world of hurt that all the charm in his gorgeous, well-toned body can’t fix. His late grandfather, God rest his soul, wanted to make sure Gregor and his two playboy brothers settle down. He had the brilliant idea of buying up a huge share of the brothers’ engine company and using that as incentive for each brother to find Mrs. Right. Settle down or lose the company to a … competitor. Well, that’s just not happening to Gregor, not when life’s so good at the moment. Gregor likes racing fast cars and seducing fast women, and not necessarily in that order. Settle down? Not a chance. Gregor has his own brilliant idea: find some wholesome and desperate girl to pretend to be his girlfriend. No harm. No foul. Unless things start getting a little bit too real.
Kara Alerby knows she’s a sucker for blues eyes and a great smile, so when Gregor comes into her theater wanting to hire her to act the part of his adoring girlfriend, she’s already got her defenses on high alert. But Kara’s a practical girl, and Gregor’s offering a boatload of money that would go a long way toward making her dream of creating a fine arts school for gifted kids a reality. She can ignore his smiles, his charisma, and his kiss-me mouth if it means she’ll get her school. All she has to do is remind herself, every second of every day they’re together, that it’s all make believe—even when it doesn’t always feel that way.
When Greg’s love of racing puts his life in jeopardy, Kara isn’t ready to watch another person die in front of her like her father did. And Greg isn’t about to stop doing the one thing that makes life worth living. The two are on a collision course, one that could break them apart forever if they don’t change directions…

North has created yet another great contemporary romance novel. Kara is trying to save her theater when billionaire Gregor pretty much crashes her class. At the end he makes her a proposal for her to be his hired girlfriend leading to wife so he can get his inheritance. What neither banks on is them falling in love as they play along with their plan. Great feel good romance that I really enjoyed so I give it 4/5 stars.
When need turns into want, their relationship is anything but convenient. The Billionaire’s Sham Girlfriend is how two strong personalities collide. Both are determined to get their way with no compromise in sight. What happens when strangers finally find their home? Leslie North is at her best when sifting through organized chaos. Kara are Gregor are a disaster of convenience, made in heaven. With her classic steam and her sensitive heart, North is on point with this passionate tale.
A quick and spicy fake romance.
This is a pretty quick read but it’s really well written and developed and it doesn’t seem so short once it pulls you into Gregor and Kara’s world. Gregor needs a wife to help fulfill his part of his grandfathers’ will and Kara wants to buy the theater she holds her improv classes in before it’s sold to someone else. Seems pretty straight forward, right? That is until their pesky emotions get involved and both lose track of the fact that their “relationship” is supposed to be fake.

I found this book to be a real pleasure to read with the good storyline and well rounded characters which kept me totally enthralled until the very last page!
I LOVED this book. I will not give the synopsis since you can read the blurb and others give more detail but I definitely recommend! The chemistry, sexiness, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things very interesting. I cannot wait to read more by this author. Definitely worth your time!

Gregor and Kara are on a collision course to fall in love. It may have started out fake, but it doesn’t take long for real feelings to get in the way for these two. Gregor is as sexy as they come and usually gets his way, but feisty Kara is a woman that speaks her mind. The fun and the fast pace for these two as their relationship turns real, is just pure reading enjoyment. Great for a relaxing afternoon, I would like to thank BookSprout for gifting me “The Billionaire’s Sham Girlfriend.” Looking forward to reading the next Beaumont Bro, my opinion is my own. This is mine. 4.25 Stars!
As usual, another great book from Leslie North! The story is well-crafted with likable characters, the plot moves at a good pace without getting bogged down in minor details, and the chemistry between Gregor and Kara is plenty hot.
When life forces a man to hire an actress to be his pretend girlfriend then it cannot always be easy to keep it that way. Fate wants to take part in this arrangement and what happens when fake becomes real? Can they go it and let their hearts open to get their HEA?
Heroin was jealous at times where it annoyed me and he could act a bit stupid but they were both well described and developed well through the story. Mostly likeable characters that have a sort of instant attraction despite of what they want to show.
The story is quite short and fast paced. It lacks a bit depth at times.
It is enjoyable and engaging to read.
Received an ARC from Negalley of The Billionaire’s Sham Girlfriend Book One by Leslie North in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are my own …

I was drawn from the start and keeps you flying through the pages non stop with shocking twist keep constantly on your toes is balanced out.
Not much of a romance story just a sort of fake relationship for the sake of the family to get them to quit trying to set him up.

I really enjoyed reading this story about “fake relationship” between Gregor and Kara.
The rich Gregor was actually nice guy and Kara were both likable characters, their interactions were perfectly written. It has steamy, sweet and romantic elements and it will make you feel good, in times frustrated but you will have HEA on the end. Go and read it for yourself too because I don’t want to write more about the story to avoid spoiling other reading experiences.
Excellent contemporary billionaire romance. Kira is an actress but she loves teaching improv to her students at the old theater. Soon it’s going to be sold and she doesn’t want to leave the old theater but she also can’t afford to. Gregor is searching for a temporary wife. He thought asking a talented actress yet he knew she must be classy and last inspection by his grandmother. Their grandfather’s will states he and his brothers now have under a year to marry or they loose their inheritance but most importantly the company they built themselves. Ms. North did a marvelous job of developing the characters. There was quite a bit of humor between Gregor, the wealthy Brit and Kira the actress and teacher. This was the first book in the Beaumont Brothers series. I received a complementary copy of this book and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books in this series and by Ms. North.

Fun adventure leads to meaningful encounters
The Billionaire’s Sham Girlfriend by Leslie North is an interesting fake girlfriend/fiance’ book. Gregor and Kara enter an agreement, establishing a fake relationship that becomes increasingly real. Pride, miscommunication, chemistry in and out of the bedroom are just the tip of the iceberg of this well written book.
I read an ARC of this book and voluntarily share my review.
A fun and enjoyable well written pretend romance between Gregor and Kara. The characters were strong and likeable as Gregor offeres to save Kara by buying her theater if she agrees to be his wife until he can keep his company. With the well worked in twists, their connection, bantering and chemistry I was entertained throughout with these strong likeable characters as they learned what was really important in life.

Gregor shows up at Kara’s improv class and ends up asking her if she’ll be his fake girlfriend to help him gain his company. Kara wants the theatre she currently teaches in so she makes a counter proposal if he incudes buying it for her as well as the money he offered she’ll be his girlfriend. He agrees and they take off for the races. Things start to get blurred for Kara when the kisses take a very real feel to them. Once she starts having feelings for Gregor she can’t stand the idea of him racing. When she tries to help him Gregor gets upset and Kara ends up going back home. Will Gregor come to his senses in time to save his relationship? Will Kara give him another chance?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between Gregor and Kara is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.
