blurb
“There are two kinds of men,” Mom said. “Rich bastards and poor bastards. Neither will give a crap about your brains or personality, so go for the one with the money.”
Beautiful PhD student Clara Zapata has never subscribed to the theory that men only care about looks, but after getting dumped by her fiancé for gaining weight, she’s starting to think her gold-digging mother is on to something. If men are going to treat her like a trophy, why shouldn’t she treat them like a credit card?
“There are two kinds of women,” Dad said. “Pretty bitches and ugly bitches. They’ll both be more interested in the divorce settlement than the marriage, so go for the hottie.”
All heir-in-waiting Ian Dunning has ever wanted was the love of a good woman. But after being seduced and abandoned by yet another gold digger, he’s beginning to lose hope of ever finding real love. If the only thing women will ever want him for is his money, why shouldn’t he just chase after the ones with the biggest boobs and the fewest brain cells?
What happens when this cynical son of a billionaire gets stuck on a disastrous road trip with the jaded daughter of a gold digger? Will Ian and Clara follow in their parents’ footsteps, or will they find true love?
And it was no ordinary kiss. It was the kind of kiss I thought only existed in books. Instant fire, all-consuming. I had to have him.
arc review
This was just a fun, hilarious, and lighthearted romance between two strangers who have a series of misadventures.
Clara and Ian are both absolutely enjoyable characters. They don’t really like each other when they first cross paths, but over the course of time they spend together they form a friendship and really start to form a connection. There is a level of attraction between them, but they don’t think much of it.
I adored the overall story and misadventures that occur. It was super funny at times. The secondary characters are also fantastic, especially Clara’s mom. Their relationship was different but I liked it.
