My four-word description of these books is as follows: souped-up Harlequin romances. That being said, I thoroughly enjoy a well-written Harlequin romance. But these aren't particularly well-written. The sex portions become boring after a while, and I found myself skipping through them. Really, yet another sex position that requires extreme flexibility doesn't interest me.

I did enjoy the premise of the characters and situation. And every girl loves to fantasize about falling in love with an incredibly wealthy man who loves her back and can give her literally anything she needs and wants.

Bottom line, I would really like to see a much better writer take the premise and the characters and see what could happen.
