Description
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work – starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way.
But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world?
Only there’s so much more to him than that.
Billionaire playboy? Check.
Troubled soul? Check.
The owner of my heart, the man I’ve moved halfway across the country to be with, who’s laying the world at my feet in order to convince me to never leave? Check. Check. Check.
But nobody does complicated like the one percent.
This is not your everyday rags-to-riches, knight-in-shining armor whisking the poor girl off her feet kind of story. No, this is much messier.

5By AmazedMad2020I loved this book and can not wait to get my hands on the rest of the series!! Kylie Scott, you are amazing at what you do!Funny and an aweome heroine!
4By Lacie RomanoI always love the humor that comes with Kylie Scott's books, the sarcasm makes me giggle and the one-liners are hilarious. This heroine was amazingly strong in the face of all the adversity coming at her and made her presence not only known, but respected. A great tale of Rich Boy meets "normal girl" but written with a different flare.Rich Boy

4By WenillaNot as fast paced as some and brought up the question, “does money corrupt or vice-versa?”More Than Riches
5By DoingthisforcoinsssssdzzzzzAlice is a an English Lit. major trying to figure out what she’s going to do with her life post college. Beck is a busboy with an unknown past and an in depth knowledge of Jane Austen. He pursues Alice doggedly but Alice has been burned by a handsome boyfriend who was actually embarrassed by her plus size curves. She’s rather skeptical. Then one day Beck’s history catches up with him in the form of a black SUV. When he asks her to come with, she does. And then the fun RRALLY begins! I loved this couple and all their foibles as well as the profoundness of their connection.Who wrote this book??
2By LindzAlThis book is not nearly as good as anything Kylie Scott has written before! Her characters are usually so funny and relatable. What happened?! I honestly kept thinking that she had a ghost writer. It doesn’t seem like her writing at all. I usually love herModern day fairytale
4By Wookiee 45Alice Lawrence is an average girl working to make ends meet at a small bar in California. She is immediately taken by the flirty new busboy and decides to give into the chemistry they can’t deny. Beck has decided to take a leave of absence from his previous life in Colorado and after settling in and forming a connection with the girl of his dreams he is called home for an emergency. Having no other choice he begs Alice to come with him and try and understand everything his life entails. This was a sweet and heartwarming story about a billionaire who falls hard and fast for an ordinary girl. While it starts slow it picks up and turns out to be a story I truly enjoyed.

3By TinleydI have read and reread everything by this author. But this book wasn’t easy to get through. Kinda boring and predictable. Liked the characters but the story itself just didn’t have much interest.What a wild ride!
4By Samantha B. SokolWhat a wild ride! At first, I thought this was going to be a similar storyline to The Prince and Me, and while there are a few similarities, this book is all its own and I couldn’t get enough! Alice is barely making ends meet waitressing and can’t stand her job, but that’s all about to change thanks to the new mysterious busboy Beck. Propositioning her to be his wife, Alice thinks he’s joking, but Beck is actually serious, and as they spend time together after work the closer they get and the stronger their connection gets. But when Beck’s found and has to return home, he’s reluctant to give Alice all the answers she desperately needs, especially when she uproots her life and goes to him. While they both are willing and wanting to give things a try, it seemed that their separate financial statuses always took center stage. I was definitely blindsided by some of the things Beck does in the book but I also found that I was shocked Alice forgave him so easily for those things. Overall, it was another enjoyable read from Kylie, although less suspenseful than her typical storylines. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
