Life Sucks If You're Married To A Billionaire: A Gay Romance Novel

Title and story have no relation.. Plus the moral of the story - stay with ur husband even if he leaves you TWICE for the family business is a bad example

This is one of those books 📚 with a clever idea, developed side characters and the only thing you can't figure out is why Kei doesn't leave after he gets his inheritance. Jace is rude to the point of being obnoxious and then just blows past that. Kei receives a letter saying he must marry Jace to receive his money. Kei is independent and the marriage seems to be in name only. Nothing changes except Kei continues to go to school and becomes Jace's houseboy. I assume that Kei doesn't want to live alone and just goes with the flow until he realizes how much he was betrayed.It has an eighth grade plot, but I like the author's style. I think if she worked out a plot that held water she might have what it takes to write a great contemporary fiction.Hated Jace through to the end.

The story opens by stating Jace (aka the billionaire) is so well known he has a paparazzi following. In fact, their marriage is announced to the public via an unscheduled trip to a fast food resteraunt where they flash their matching wedding rings to friend while the rest of the patrons hang on Jace's every word. Riiiiiiiiight. Because the stalker-like followers described missed them moving in together, wearing said rings, and registering their marriage (which is public record) for nearly a year. The whole story goes on like that, it's just too outlandish to make it as a contemporary romance.

Nothing in the book makes sense. The Kei, main character “falls in love” because you reached the point in the book where something should happen. Jace is cold and manipulative. He gets the guy without ever having to redeem himself. I finished the book waiting for the bigger picture to reveal itself, like a Dickenson-twist to explain Jace’s motives or Kei’s willingness to be a by-standard in his own life. That never happened. There is a twist and everyone is worse than you thought they were.

This book was hard to read be cause it is not written in an appropriate American style. The grammar is not what we consider proper English. It reads like it was written by a child or a person who does not speak English as their primary language. I was not surprised at all when I got to the end and discovered the the author. The storyline was good but the grammar was awkward.

Okay. Yes, it's sappy, and a little PG, but who doesn't love a sappy love story? I find the premise good, but it could have been more. A little too "soft" for my liking, but a nice story none the less.
