The Ultimate Millionaire (Silhouette Desire) [Mass Market Paperback]

Susan Mallery (Author)

Book Description

Series: Silhouette Desire | Publication Date: January 9, 2007

Todd Aston III's reputation as a playboy preceded him; he wore power as seamlessly as he wore his custom-cut suits. But Marina Nelson had promised her sister--who was marrying Todd's cousin--that she'd help him plan the perfect wedding. And somehow, between tasting cakes and modeling wedding dresses, Marina discovered that she wanted Todd--and that Todd wanted her. She was powerless to prevent the inevitable. Yet the harder she fell for Todd, the more she realized that he didn't trust marriage-minded women.

Which made her grandmother's offer of a million dollars to whichever Nelson sister married him a big problem....

5.0 out of 5 stars Can Marina really love Todd?, January 9, 2007

By

This review is from: The Ultimate Millionaire (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Nelson sisters have laughed about the $1,000,000 their recently found grandmother has offered for one of them to love and marry her great-nephew-by-marriage, Todd Aston III. Why would anyone marry for money only? What's wrong with him that money has to enter into marrying him?

Julie, the oldest sister, is off to China with her fiancee, Ryan Bennett, on a business trip and asks Marina to help with the wedding. Ryan also wants his cousin Todd Aston to help.

It's unbelievable but Marian and Todd hit it off and do make much progress with the wedding plans before their physical attraction gets in the way or does it get in the way? Wonderful story telling makes this so good!


Ms Mallery has written a great ending to the THE MILLION DOLLAR CATCH/Nelson sisters stories. I can't pick my favorite of THE SUBSTITUTE MILLIONAIRE (Julie & Ryan), THE UNEXPECTED MILLIONAIRE (Willow & Kane) and now Marina & Todd's book. All 3 are also HOT and very entertaining books.

This review is from: The Ultimate Millionaire (Silhouette Desire) (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed reading this book (my favorite in the series) and I suggest reading the other two books in this series first. I read this book during an unexpected 7-hour flight delay and it made the wait tolerable.

I thought the characters were likeable, even though the hero was a bit arrogant and had a problem trusting women. There were several parts in this book which had me laughing out loud.

I recommend all the books in this series.
1. Substitute Millionaire
2. Unexpected Millionaire
both written by Susan Mallery

of the three this is the one i liked the least. throughout 3 books i still don't like todd ashton III or grandma ruth. marina seems way to together for todd, but like romance novels everywhere, love does indeed conquer all. while marina and todd are planning julie's wedding (also dumb---what first time bride doesn't do her own wedding?)they overcome family animosity, todd's commitment issues, and grandma ruth's meddling to fall in love. of the 3 millionaire books this was the least workable for me. but read it if only because it's the end of the trilogy.
