Book Review: Wild Card by Lila Monroe

Is there anything worse than playing maid-of-honor to your bitchy college nemesis? Try it when she’s marrying your DAD! Olivia Chambers doesn’t know what she’s done to deserve this karmic retribution, but she needs a date to the wedding from hell - and fast. She’s used to matchmaking billionaires, but now she needs a Prince Charming of her own. Someone handsome and famous enough to make bridezilla and her minions drool with envy… 

Someone like hottie ex-NFL star Ryan Callahan. 

Ryan is looking for love. Well, the fake kind. He needs the perfect woman on his arm to woo investors for his superstar new business venture, but nobody is scoring that touchdown… until elegant, sophisticated Olivia comes to him with a proposition. She’ll play his perfect date - if he’ll play hers. 

The deal is simple! Or is it? Take one week in the Florida Keys, a dose of sizzling sexual tension, a madcap wedding, and some seriously humid frizzy hair, and Ryan and Olivia have the recipe for disaster… or maybe the time of their lives. 

But can Olivia let down her guard long enough to let Ryan sweep her off her feet? And will Ryan take his eyes off the (business) prize long enough to see what’s right in front of him? 

Wild Card is the much anticipated, third book in the series, romantic comedy. It's Olivia Chambers who needs a fake date this time around. I couldn't wait for Olivia's story and it delivered! 

Olivia's business is matchmaking, matchmaking fake dates. Although, her fake matchmaking has led to a few actual relationships. When Olivia discovers her father is remarrying her college nemesis, she needs to save face. It just happens that the very attractive but difficult Ryan Callahan also needs a date for a business meeting. Olivia offers Ryan a solution to his date issue while securing a fake boyfriend for her father's wedding. Quid pro quo, tit for tat.  

When Olivia let's her hair down, Ryan discovers there's much more behind the ice queen facade. I love Olivia. I love her strengths and insecurities. And Ryan is much more than just a outrageously attractive sports star. Let the swooning begin with just the right amount of giggles. The Billionaire Bachelors series keeps on giving with plenty of giggles and romance. 5 stars
