BLURB: Heir apparent to her father’s company, Lizzy Banks needs a man. The perfect man. But when the rich “fundbabies” she usually rubs shoulders with prove impossible to hire, she takes a chance on a raw beast of a man salvaged from the wreckage of a bar brawl.
James Rowan earns a modest income as a YouTube daredevil, but he can’t refuse Lizzy’s million dollar deal. As she polishes his rough edges, creating a sophisticated gentleman fit for the highest circles of society, not only does she bring out the perfect man—it’s like she’s making the man of her dreams. How can she resist?
My rating: 1.5 stars
Elizabeth Banks lives to please her father, so she does not want to disappoint him when she decides to look for a model for the new line of formal menswear. But instead of getting a millionaire, Elizabeth gets James Rowan who is dedicated to performing risky physical challenges on YouTube in exchange for money.
The story starts well, and I liked it at first, but then she continues playing up with her zero self-esteem and becomes an unbearable character.
James, you are an awesome character man. James is /SPOILER---->a hardworking, decent man who
takes care of his brother and even welcomes his cousin to support her.
It does not fit in my head how this woman (who has had her daddy all her
life, and does not even manage her accounts because daddy pays them,
and allows her dad to manage her life), can despise him and treat him
like James is worth nothing. <----SPOILER/
He laughs, moistens his lips, and shakes his head. “I might be poor, lady, but my pride’s rich as Midas, and I don’t beg.”
“Beg? For what?”
“Sex, money, you name it.”
“I never said you did.”
“You’re saying cash is my language when clearly it’s more yours than mine. And I can talk Dollar just fine, like I said, but I have other interests too.
Elizabeth dear, you kill the story. I can't sympathize with you. You are selfish and stupid. You want to sell the cake it, put it on fine fondue, have a piece of the cake and ended ruin it for all.
(Elizabeth:) I took him out of the garbage and made him who he was.No, Lizzy he was not in the garbage and James is not garbage. You are a stupid poor rich heiress . That really made me so mad.
At least Charlie is a child with his ideas /SPOILER--->, and not so clever if he prefer
his brother doing dangerous stunts instead of earning more easy money.
(How many years do you think your brother can afford doing this stunts,
kid, in the better of the cases and not ending in a wheel chair or
worst?<----SPOILER/
Sorrynotsorry. Is totally you, book.
*This is an ARC and has some typos pretty visible like the incomplete letter LL.

Es el primer libro de la autora, y tendre que ver otro más de sus obras para decidirme si vale la pena o no. Pero odie aqui el personaje de Lizzie, la pobre niña rica que quiere que su papi la quiera y por eso puede tratar de basura a un hombre espectacular. No, para nada me convencio este libro.
Y de repente el final se arreglo todo, y quien creia que era malo no lo era.... hmmm, no, no me gusto.
Nota: Gran modelo de portada ;P
