This was a very interesting romance book. I am very typical for this publishing house and I think it was a little cheesy a little fun. That’s kind of what I was going to book form as a little bit of cheese. Look at fun romance little bit of spice. This is exactly what it give me. It was a really feel good pick up book and I would actually recommend this to all the people really good and it’s a good palate cleanser between genres.

Capturing The Ceo's Guarded Heart has such a good premise. But while an interesting and easy read, it feels very formal and stilted language wise which hampers the reader connecting more with the characters.

Anelise is a corporate lawyer who works for a billionaire CEO Nicolas Causcelle. They are furious when media prints an article which suggests they are having a fling. To flush out the person who leaks the lies they fake a marriage. They discover the leaker - she is jealous of their friendship but will their fake marriage become real and be a HEA.

I found this a very stilted and formal read. The characters are very hard to gel with. I did, however, enjoy the descriptions of Paris, I could imagine being there myself.

Anelise is a corporate Lawyer and Nic the owner of the company, when a nasty article appears in the papers about them they decide to pretend to be engaged in the hope of flushing out the guilty party who wrote it, but the more time they spend together, the more they find themselves falling in love.

I really wanted to like this story but i found it quite a hard read, the language was very formal and at first I felt like I was reading a historical romance both in the tone and language used. This made the characters quite hard to relate to and warm to.

Thank you netgalley and mills and boons for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
Girl meets billionaire ceo, they pretend to be in love….now we all know how that ends and the story is a romp set in beautiful scenic France. You can almost taste the bubbles in the champagne and smell the hotels.
This was a fab quick read.

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

A good read
Spent a lovely afternoon, with tea, sofa and blanket - lovely

Not the romantic read I anticipated, despite the glamour and romantic French setting. I found it difficult to warm to the characters, and the plot seemed overly detailed, but without the in-depth characterisation, this author and genre normally deliver.

I enjoyed the glitz and the vivid locations.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

A very difficult read with lots of storylines, but it had a lovely descriptive feel of Paris and surrounding area. Not quite my cup of tea.

A lovely look at Paris and all the beautiful parts of the French capital. Both Anelise and Nic have plenty of money and it is fun to enter their world. The book is packed with different storylines from someone acting out a vendetta, to a missing sibling, family bereavement and various work issues. I got a bit of whiplash from dancing from one crisis and sub plot to another, a little more time on the romance would have added to the book.

This was a weird read. It felt very amateur. So stodgy and padded out with interminable info-dumps and descriptions. Seriously, though, the story was so stiff and ham-fisted. I knew who the villainess was from her first appearance. And how was she able to afford a Bugatti when she was as poor as turned out to be? The characters never felt real, nor particularly French.

I found it utterly incredible that the h/H waited until their wedding night before having sex. I also thought it beyond strange that the author apparently doesn't realise that it is the civil marriage in the Mairie, which makes a French marriage legal - not the optional religious ceremony.

I'm sorry to be so harsh - but this is an experienced author, and I expected much better. I won't be bothering with the other books in the series.

Thanks to Mills and Boon and NetGalley for an ARC - in return for my honest review. .
