If You Give a Billionaire a Bride by Ann Einerson

5.0

---

Childhood best friends meets brother's best friend in this billionaire marriage of convenience story (that is so cute). Everly Townstead and Cash Stafford knew each other as teens, Cash was Everly's brother's best friend. Cash has had a crush on Everly for as long as he's known but has had to keep it tucked away after her brother expressly noted that she is off limits. They make a pack to get married if they ever found themselves in their 30s and single.... and now 14 years later they've run into each other again. Cash is now a billionaire who is a bit of a player, someone who doesn't do relationships and is more of a one night no strings attached kind of guy... except he is still pinning after Everly. Everly has had to deal with one bad relationship from the next and after witnessing her parents failed marriage and walking in on her fiancee cheating on her, she really does not believe in love. Yet when Everly and Cash run into each other at a bar in Las Vegas... one drink turns into two and Cash brings up their pack... and the next morning they both wake up married. Everly is determined to get it annulled... but Cash would rather use this opportunity to finally get the girl he's been in love with for over 14 years to finally take a chance on him. It also helps that Cash's family is buying out Everly's company family and are in negotiations... so if it got out that both Cash and Everly got drunkenly married and divorced it could impact the deal... so Everly agrees to pretend to be married until the deal is closed, giving Cash just enough time to try and get his wife to fall for him. This was such a cute read and I completely devoured it in one sitting. This had all the tropes I love and the dynamic between Cash and Everly was so cute. Cash was down so bad for Everly and him pinning for her for years was adorable. I love how supportive they both are to one another and their love is just so clear. This book was just such a sweet read and one I would absolutely recommend!!!
