Customer Reviews

Great Read

I enjoyed reading this book it was quick and the characters were very likeable. I also enjoyed reading the other two books in this serious, in order. 1. The Substitute Millionaire 2. The Unexpected Millionaire 3. The Ultimate Millionaire The third was my favorite, but the first two were great as well.

Very very good writer

Amazing story. It doesn't matter if you read a book and the plot can or can't be true. What's important is that you can be bias or not to the main character, and when that occur, when you hate everything that anyone do to that character, the writer has you you liked or not. And that's why this book deserves SIX stars.

The Substitute Millionaire-Joyfully Recommended

Ryan Bennett thought that he was doing his cousin Todd, a favor, saving him from a blind date with woman who was obviously a gold digger by pretending to be Todd. Both Todd and Ryan had been the target of scheming woman before, so he's stunned when he arrives and meets Julie Nelson, a woman who quickly captivates him. Before he knows it heat explodes between them, leading to a spontaneous night of passion. Only when the morning comes, he is forced to explain the deception of why he pretends to be his cousin. Needless to say Julie shows him the door and refuses to have anything else to do with him. Except neither of them expected Juile to become pregnant. Now Ryan has a second chance, can he convince Julie he's not the total cad she thinks he is? The Substitute Millionaire is yet another book by Susan Mallery that will be heading for my keeper shelf to be read again and again. I fell in love with Ryan right along with Julie. Julie's sisters and Ryan's cousin Todd round out an already suburb story leaving me wondering whose story would be next! Fans of Susan Mallery will find this a must read and readers who haven't had the pleasure of reading Ms. Mallery's work before, will find The Substitute Millionaire a delightful treat!

A very passionate and sizzling read!

This is the first book in the series THE MILLION DOLLAR CATCH and just plain fabulous. It's Ryan and Julie's story and a fun, passionate and very powerful read. Julie is the oldest of three sisters and has problems trusting men. Her father comes and goes as he pleases which hurts her entire family, her one-time fiance was actually a married man and now her newfound Grandmother wants her to go on a blind date with her eldest millionaire nephew. The offering is $1,000,000 should they marry. However, Julie just wants to humor her Grandmother Ruth since they've just met so she agrees to go on the date. Ryan, strong, handsome, smart hears from his cousin Todd that their Great Aunt Ruth wants Todd to go on a blind date. Ryan has just been hurt by a recent relationship and tells Todd he'll go in his place and teach the money grabbing woman a lesson. Ryan poses as Todd but doesn't count on Julie being so beautiful, charming, smart and witty. Their evening begins with sizzling attraction and ends in passion However, not so the next morning when Ryan reveals who he truly is and Julie throws Ryan out on his ear. Fate, destiny? Call it whatever you want but Julie finds out she is pregnant with Ryan's child and this takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey one to be remembered for a long time. I honestly can say I can't wait for the next book in the series as these rich and powerful men are going to have their hands full with the two remaining sisters....Willow and Marina. Susan Mallery has again written an incredible series and this one being full of passion, humor, and sensitivity.

You're not Todd?

Boy has Ryan Bennett made a big blunder this time! He pretended to be his cousin Todd Austin III on a blind date--he was going to show this Julie Nelson a lesson. He & Todd thought she was after the $1,000,000 and catching a guy with lots of money too. Todd's aunt by marriage wants him to be married and she had just found her granddaughters and just knew one of them would be able to catch him and her reward money too. Ryan, also a nephew by marriage, has dinner and an overnight stay with Julie, he had such a good time with her, before he tells her who he is. Knowing he should have told her before staying with her but not wanting to end a great time--he really likes her! He's embarrassed and can't stop thinking of her and how he can see her again. Julie, an attorney, doesn't go on blind dates but she weakened trying to get closer to her grandmother. She's devastated after finding out Ryan had lied to her which is about the worst thing he can do. Within a couple of weeks Julie realizes she's pregnant. She goes to Todd & Ryan's office to inform Ryan who by now really can't get her out of his head tries to talk to her but she wants nothing to do with him. We get to watch Ryan try for friendship with Julie. She goes for the "get to know you" stage after the fact she feels. In one of the conversations she tells Ryan "he has good swimmers" and they have a good laugh together over the comment while both are looking forward to the baby. Fun book, wonderful characters with lots of humor. I'm looking forward to Julie's sisters books. Willow's is 12/06 THE UNEXPECTED NILLIONAIRE and Marina's THE ULTIMATE MILLIONAIRE is a January '07 release.
