Review – Mister Moneybags by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

Mister Moneybags by Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

When you begin a Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland collaboration you should totally ensure that you have NOTHING to do. Nothing to disturb you. Because these two have an uncanny way of dragging readers SO, SO deep into a story and NEVER LETTING GO.

Since the very first collaboration “Cocky Bastard” I have loved Penelope and Vi working together. Each and every book they release always lands itself as a top favourite of mine. I get swept away, literally transported to another world. A world where I can just laugh out loud, swoon, feel and love.

With Mister Moneybags I pretty much fell in love by 10%. I mean you can forget butterflies. I had bald eagles take flight in my tummy!! I’m talking BAT SHIT CRAZY bald eagles. The kind that cause the BEST tummy fizzles and flips. I was easily captivated, my heart pounded and my skin tingled. Everything in me lit up and I knew I was reading a WINNER.

Bianca & Dex are infectious. Their story genius. I have to give Penelope & Vi such a big shout out here for how they played out the relationship, I daren’t say too much so not to spoil anything but I felt the EXACT SAME things as Bianca did with her heroes and I knew who he was all along! It was incredibly easy to get sucked into our characters in Mister Moneybags. Incredibly easy to fall in love with them. They oozed chemistry. The simmering underlying tension between them was electrifying.

There is no doubt in my mind that Dex is my FAVE Ward & Keeland hero. I just felt like I was floating THE WHOLE TIME. High. Addicted. Overtaken. From him, his words, his craziness and his passion. EVERY DAMN THING.
Mister Moneybags is charming, captivating, all consuming. A stunning masterpiece and a top, TOP read of 2017.

A new standalone from New York Times bestselling authors Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.

I met Bianca in an elevator.

She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.

The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.

She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.

Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn’t appreciate the simple things in life.

So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn’t want it to end.

I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.

I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.

I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.

I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.

And she was falling for two men.

Only, both men were me.

And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.

Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for what came after.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.
