BLOG TOUR & REVIEW: Million Dollar Marriage by Katy Evans

Million Dollar Marriage by Katy EvansRelease Date: July 23, 2019

Million Dollar Marriage, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by Katy Evans.

If someone had bet Nell a million dollars that she would be saying “I do” to a complete stranger on national television, she’d have called them crazy, but with her crushing student loan payments sending her deep into the red, she’s out of options. This should be nothing more than a business transaction—until she sets eyes on her groom, and everything changes.

The game is on the instant Luke spots Penelope “Nell” Carpenter. He’s out for the money, yes, but getting a little dirty with Nell doesn’t sound too bad either. Everyone knows he’s not the marrying kind, so it’s a good thing it’s just for show. God knows he’s the worst guy his pretty wife should pick for real.

They have nothing in common, but if they want the grand prize, they’ll have to beat out eight other couples. Proving that total opposites attract should be easy enough…as long as they don’t fall in love in the process.

Caroline's Review

✮✮✮✮✮

I freakin' LOVED this story! It had chemistry, friction, adventure, and passion!

"Every part of him is so strong and masculine and begs to be adored; he's raw, dirty sex on a cracker."

Penelope AKA Nell Carpenter is a serial student! So much so that she's racked up quite a debt. Cerebral and serious but desperate, she auditions for a reality TV show, and is shocked as hell to be selected. What on earth has she gotten herself into? She's way outside her comfort zone. Especially when she gets paired up with the hot, dirty yeti?

"She looks up at me with those big blue eyes, and it gets me. Right there. In the heart, in my cock."

Luke Cross is on the verge of bankruptcy. His bar is failing and he didn't know that he'd also inherited a heap of mortgages with it. In desperation, he auditions for a reality TV show where he could win a million dollars. The minute he sets eyes on the nerdy girl with the big glasses and cute freckles, and giant textbook, he's wants her. However, it appears that she can't stand him. Even better when they are paired up together for the challenge of their lives. 

"I kiss her. Tongue and teeth, hands and hair. Crush her lips with mine and devour her mouth like she's my last meal."

This was a hugely addictive read! I thought it was fun and thrilling. Luke and Nell were complete opposites in every way. Luke was an absolute sweetheart - he was honest, likeable and had a lot of integrity. He had excellent social skills and I adored his undeniable attraction to Nell. She, in contrast, was socially awkward, lacked a lot of self-confidence, but I loved how being with Luke helped her blossom. I loved her determination and her smarts. 

This was a fabulous hot, hot read with a lot of character!

Excerpt:

I’m going to lose my lunch. It’s the live finale the entire country has been waiting for. The arena is packed to the gills with reporters, cameras pointed at us. Flashbulbs go off, and my future seems to flash through my eyes with them. Everything depends on what will happen in the next hour. We could give our answer in a split second, but not now. I know the announcer will drag things out to the point of sheer madness. Recaps of poignant moments from the season, interviews with contestants, performances by “special celebrity guests” who are also fans of the show. It’s all meant to build up to the moment of truth. Every one of the people in this arena, every one of the thirteen million people watching at home—they’re all waiting on the edge of their seats with the same question. Will they . . . or won’t they? I wish to god we could just give our answer and be done. He’s so close, but he might as well be a million miles away. Our fingers entwined, he waves at the crowd cheering our names. His hand isn’t the least bit clammy. I manage a peek at him, his chiseled features, his relaxed smile, and my throat catches. No wonder the world is in love with him. No wonder he’s been the fan favorite since week one. This is it. The end. Or . . . I look over at him and say, “Luke . . . I’m not . . .” He shakes his head almost imperceptibly. “It’s okay,” he murmurs, his fingers stroking my palm. “Breathe, Penny. Just breathe.” So I do. But air is not the only thing I need to make me okay right now. We’ve been through so much, more than most couples will go through in entire lifetimes. And now we’re about to make the decision that will shape our future. To think, seven months ago, I didn’t even know Luke Cross. Three months ago, I despised him. But somewhere along the line, things changed. Somewhere along this crazy little adventure we’ve been having, played out on television for the entire world to see, I did what I told myself I’d never do. I don’t even know how it happened, but as I look back, it seems so inevitable. Like I couldn’t have stopped it, even if I’d tried. But just because it was meant to happen doesn’t mean it will last forever . . .
