BOOKWORM REVIEW: The Last Eligible Billionaire by Pippa Grant


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥

The Last Eligible Billionaire was a total Pippa Grant experience. Quirky, over-the-top characters. Hilarious hijinx. And a love that shouldn't make sense but totally does.

Begonia was kicking off her post-divorce vacation with a bikini wax and at-home hair dye job when a grumpy man barges into her vacation home's bathroom, demanding who she was. It turns out that the house should not have been a vacation rental, Begonia just got scammed out of her money, and Hayes Rutherford is asking her to leave.

Yes, that Hayes Rutherford. Brother to her actor crush. One of the heirs to the Hollywood fortune.

Somehow, as she was trying to leave, he ends up rescinding his request to leave and swaps it with a request to pretend to be his girlfriend to keep his scheming relatives at bay.

Begonia is a breath of fresh air. She endears herself to others and to us readers without any agenda. She embraces life and finds the good in everything. On the other hand, life has made Hayes jaded. He is wary of people's agenda, especially when it comes to being close to him. He just wants to be left alone.

Putting these two together shouldn't work, but they actually bring out the best in each other. Begonia shows Hayes that there is still beauty and goodness in this world, and Hayes protects and builds Begonia up.

Along the way, not only do we fall in love with these two, but we also fall in love with this world that Pippa Grant has created. Marshmallow -- the therapy dog who causes more trouble in the best way -- especially steals the show. 

This book is absolute chaos but also absolute happiness. If you need a fun pick-me-up, this is a great choice for a read.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Emotionally unavailable doesn’t even begin to describe my new fake boyfriend. He’s cold. He’s distant. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement.

My job’s simple: Keep Hayes Rutherford’s matchmaking relatives and all interested ladies away from the cranky, grumpy, walled-off heir to my favorite movie empire, and in return, he won’t ruin my life over a teensy, tiny little misunderstanding.

But the more I sneak past Hayes’s walls and fences, the more I realize that while we might be from different worlds, we have more in common than either of us expected. The man under all the glitz, glamour, and dollar signs could be the real love of my life.

But you know what they say about fake dating a billionaire—it’s all fun and games until the scandals start.

The Last Eligible Billionaire is a swoony, laugh-out-loud romance featuring a botched wax job, a woman in over her head, a man in over his heart, and the sweetest misguided dog to ever play matchmaker…or at least make sure these two anti-love birds never have clothes when they get out of the shower.
