The Substitute Millionaire (The Million Dollar Catch series)

The Substitute Millionaire-Joyfully Recommended:
Ryan Bennett thought that he was doing his cousin Todd, a favor, saving him from a blind date with woman who was obviously a gold digger by pretending to be Todd. Both Todd and Ryan had been the target of scheming woman before, so he's stunned when he arrives and meets Julie Nelson, a woman who quickly captivates him. Before he knows it heat explodes between them, leading to a spontaneous night of passion. Only when the morning comes, he is forced to explain the deception of why he pretends to be his cousin. Needless to say Julie shows him the door and refuses to have anything else to do with him. Except neither of them expected Juile to become pregnant. Now Ryan has a second chance, can he convince Julie he's not the total cad she thinks he is? The Substitute Millionaire is yet another book by Susan Mallery that will be heading for my keeper shelf to be read again and again. I fell in love with Ryan right along with Julie. Julie's sisters and Ryan's cousin Todd round out an already suburb story leaving me wondering whose story would be next! Fans of Susan Mallery will find this a must read and readers who haven't had the pleasure of reading Ms. Mallery's work before, will find The Substitute Millionaire a delightful treat!

Very very good writer:
Amazing story. It doesn't matter if you read a book and the plot can or can't be true. What's important is that you can be bias or not to the main character, and when that occur, when you hate everything that anyone do to that character, the writer has you you liked or not. And that's why this book deserves SIX stars.

the million dollar date?:
this is a really qiuck read book. a couple or three hours and you're done. that said, you should not expect great literature, but to be entertained. i thought the relationship between julie and ryan was nicely done, but i never really warmed up to to todd ashton III., or the grandmother ruth. the book moved nicely and i enjoyed the journey from 1st very funny date to the happy ending.

Not one of her best but not bad......:
I really like Susan Mallory's stories but this is not one of my favorites. I felt the storyline was a little bland but I did like Ryan and Julie together, they had really good chemistry. If your looking for a quick romance and an easy read, than this is a decent choice. I do have to say that I've read the 2nd in the series and it gets better!

Great Read:
I enjoyed reading this book it was quick and the characters were very likeable. I also enjoyed reading the other two books in this serious, in order. 1. The Substitute Millionaire 2. The Unexpected Millionaire 3. The Ultimate Millionaire The third was my favorite, but the first two were great as well.
