The Last Eligible Billionaire

4.5 Marshmallow stars!
This was my first book by the author and it took me by surprise! Hayes & Begonia's grumpy-sunshine dynamic was just too cute to handle! It's about two middle aged adults who've been jilted by life and come together by entering into a contract only to realise that they're perfect for each other. Hayes was a bit standoffish and guarded himself when it came to feelings. He just wanted to protect his family's reputation and was also trying stop his mother from meddling in his life by matchmaking him with the ladies she preferred. Begonia on the other hand was recently divorced and made a resolution to never settle for less again. She was so open and went above and beyond not only for her family but also for the people around her. Usually, when an mc is feeling jealous, we kind of get to see him/her trash talking about the OW/OM but Begonia here was such a breath of fresh air! She never once said anything bad about anyone, instead she always complimented them (even when they weren't nice to her). Honestly, she and her cute little dog were the highlights of the book! Their scenes with Hayes were just so funny and entertaining. I'm not going to get into the specifics of how exactly they met because it would be spoilery but I can definitely say that I enjoyed reading this book more than I expected! The side characters were unique and had their own backstories that made them seem real to me. Overall, this was a cute, unnecessary drama-free, hilarious and lighthearted read. You should give it a try if you're a fan of the grumpy-sunshine or fake dating tropes!

Move it up in your TBR!
This is my first review on a book and I plan on making this be my debut review too. Imma do reviews new. Needed a start. This story is it! You gotta read it. Why? Because it's amazing! It's so overwhelming and light and cute and sweet and swoonworthy. You can read it in one sitting i suppose. When you to laugh and feel goody goody and cute cute. This book will do. And my my it will do amazing. I doesn't have that big drama breakup. It's just adults going through life. And it's beautiful. It won't make you grab your hair and make you shout on the heroin or the hero. It will make you adore them both. It won't make you angry at any point throughout. It will make you sit back and relax and understand and overwhelm. I don't know what word or sentence i can use for describing how i feel. Because honestly all i can think or if i want to describ this book in one word it would be - BEAUTIFUL. This should do I think.

I have been meaning to read books by Pippa Grant but kept pushing and now that I have finally read it I totally understand why people swoon over her books.I was in awe and absolutely loved her writting style. I cannot wait to dive into the list of her books.Hayes and Begonia make you fall in love with them from 1st chapter. They are opposites and fit together like missing puzzle pieces. And you cannot help but love Marshmallow.It's a book about finding yourself, finding love, companionship and trust. The story has depth but is filled with laughter. I loved the character growth and the side characters.It's a heart touching story with characters that warm your heart And fill your day with laughter 😁. Couldn't help myself from wanting more.

Enjoyed!!
This book is truly "ticklinguishly" precious. The bubbly nature of begonia steals your heart. And MARSHMILLOW is the one who's stuck a special chord in me. Now, if i get a pet it will be named marshmellow. Hats off to your level of imagination... Superbly penned story...

Fun...
I loved this one. So much laughter! Begonia and Hayes are 2 people as different as 2 people can be but they still click. Loved Begonia's character. Are there truly people like her in real life? I don't know but I know it would be great to have people like that around!

All the laughs, all the swoons, and all the joy
This book. Is. Everything. It is a billionaire fake relationship story that gets 5+++ stars. In fact, it deserves all the stars. I just adored Begonia and Hayes, their love story, their vulnerability because of their past pain, and that the book pokes fun at romcoms while being a romcom. Hayes is a grumpy rich single man from a famous family who just wants his relatives to stop setting him up because he believes love is a painful lie. Begonia is a sunshiny divorced high school art teacher who is embracing having an adventure to find herself after having her true self squished in a bad marriage. Unbeknownst to Hayes, Begonia rents his mansion in Maine for a ridiculously small sum and is naked when he arrives in his house intending to hide out from everyone. Thus begins the hilarious, swoony, joyful, and heart warming journey to their HEA. To learning “there’s a vast difference between living a life of obligation and living a life of joy.” The feelings woven throughout the story transcended the pages. They floated up from the written words and flowed directly into my heart, especially the joy that is Begonia and how she sees the world. This is a masterful tale of pain and sparkling joy and growth sneakily wrapped in a hilarious romcom. It is story full of swoons, a quirky dog, absurdity, drama, sweet moments, strong families, dysfunctional families, wonderful side characters, sexy times, painful pasts, and love. And while the book is absurdly hilarious, it is also a deeply emotional book. At its heart, it’s a story of damaged and bruised but not broken, real, relatable people who have flaws, but are really trying to do just their best. Begonia and Hayes find their way together by recognizing their scars, embracing life, and deciding to be the best version of themselves. And Marshmallow - everyone needs one of him in their lives.

Sooo good!
This book....it is so freaking amazing! It's swoony, sexy and has all the feels. I love Begonia! She would so be the ultimate BFF, and Hayes.....let's just say he is a new book boyfriend! He is grumpy on the outside with a soft, smooshie centre. And Marshmallow? Read the book and find out who Marshmallow is. I absolutely adore him! I want a Marshmallow in my life. Pippa Grant, this book is just everything! Thank you!

Puts a smile on your face
First read by this author and was pleasantly surprised. Had read some mixed reviews but what wasn't there to like. Marshmallow the dog stole the show truly adorable. Begonia was dizzy, eccentric, funny and whilst she got on some readers nerves, I thought she was a breath of fresh air. Hayes to though had his own issues was really a softy and the combination of the 2 of them worked sell. Some very obnoxious relatives but Begonia took it all in her stride and nothing really fazed her or got to her, much time to their annoyance. Some really lol moments, overall a feel good read.

A funny romantic beach read
I loved the story itself and most of all the well written characters. Not only Hayes and Begonia but also all the side characters especially Marshmallow the crazy dog.It was my first book written by Pippa Grant, but won't be the last.I really like books where you get to learn more about the characters and see (read) their development and I need interesting side characters. It gets boring when everything always and only circles around the two protagonists. This book gave me all that.
