The Marriage Bet by Olivia HayleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC of this book by the author, all opinions are my own.
This is the second book in The Billionaire Games series, however you can read it as a standalone. This is a 4 part series of interconnected standalones following four wealthy friends who find love with unlikely partners. This is a true enemies to lovers, where business rivals marry because it will save her business. If they can make the media believe they are truly in love, she can save her company and make it the successful brand it once was. Rafe is a successful business man with a track record and for helping luxury businesses succeed on the business side so they can focus on their craftsmanship and artistry. Paige expects him to gut her company and stomp on the legacy her parents and grandparent left behind for for her to lead. Unfortunately her uncle has already started the company down that road already, and with Rafe's help she just might be able to save the company she loves and find love herself.
I love the banter between Rafe and Paige. They were so cold to each other in the beginning, but you could feel that tension was going to turn into attraction eventually. I loved all of the outlandish things Paige would do to push Rafe's buttons and annoy him. I also enjoyed watching them connect when it came to past trauma. They realized that underneath their business deals and competitive natures, they could actually connect and support each other on a human level that no one else could understand. Their chemistry builds slowly as does their true relationship, so when they finally admit their feelings it is no surprise as they've been getting to know one another for quite sometime while "pretending" to be a couple madly in love.
I also really enjoyed seeing the friend group again and getting to know them a bit more. The group chats are always entertaining between the guys, and I'm looking forward to James' story later this year.
