Charlie Rosen had no intention of falling in love. In fact, it was the last thing on her mind. Between keeping the retirement home afloat and caring for two residents with dementia, she doesn’t have the time. Plus, her heart was broken from her last relationship.
Mitchell Kingsley had finally located his grandmother after his parents cut all ties with her years ago. He leaves his multi-billion dollar real estate business in New York and flies to Sitka with the intention of making amends before she passes. When he meets Charlie, his grandmother’s intriguing caretaker, he starts to think she just might be what’s missing in his life.
When his grandmother mistakes Mitchell for his father and Charlie for his elusive girlfriend, they decide it's best to fake a relationship for her sake. Sparks fly, ex’s return, and Mitchell’s grandmother begins to remember. Now they both must decide if love is worth all the risks.

I'm shaking my head at this book. I had high hopes. I loved the idea of Charlie and Mitchell faking a relationship to please his grandmother. I love it when the faked relationship develops into a real one. The relationship was killed almost immediately by the arrival of Mitchell's girlfriend, Victoria. Mitchell is annoyed by her, and annoyed by her insistence that they are engaged, when he definitely hasn't proposed.
Poor timing is followed by poor communication, and game playing. Even though Mitchell's girlfriend is there, he keeps spending time with, and falling for Charlie. When Charlie's cheating ex-boyfriend enters the scene, instead of talking to Charlie, and breaking up with his own girlfriend, he proposes to Victoria. I don't see how that solved any of his problems, but it sure made for a frustrating plot. I wanted to figuratively smack Mitchell and Charlie repeatedly! Instead of talking to each other, they both got further involved with people they didn't like, but somehow thought they loved. Argh!
I also found it ironic that Charlie and her ex, Alex broke up when she caught him kissing someone else. Right after she took Alex back, she kissed Mitchell and never told Alex about it. It seemed like a big double standard to me. Don't date someone if you want to kiss someone else!
I loved the setting in Sitka, Alaska, and I loved the sweet old people in Charlie's home.

Cute, Clean
This was an easy reading, clean romance. Cute story, nice diversion. My first book from this author and I've got another on my to-read list. -
I read half of this and was enjoying it until Mr. Billionaire decided to go complete idiot. I'm all for a good twist in the story that makes things more difficult for the love interest but this book had about 6 twist all at the same time and just made it ridiculous.

This is my first exposure to this author who, I surmise, is now venturing into the adult clean romance genre after having been publish as a Middle Grade or Young Adult author under a different pen name. After finishing this book, I strongly encourage the transition. Although the author sometimes stretched my perception of reality, which I feel is critical to first rate fiction, the story was an enjoyable and captivating reading experience with characters that were well developed and believable. However, I have a pet peeve with an error many authors make and this author made repeatedly. It is with various versions of the expression, “fall to the ground.” By definition, the word ground means “the solid surface of the earth.” Thus, if the action take place in a building, it should read, “fall to the floor.” Anytime the surface is other than “mother earth,” the correct surface should be stated. All that said, I believe this author shows great promise and should be given four stars for this offering.

Ugh this book was so incredibly frustrating! So much of what went on did not make sense and characters continued to make poor choices over and over again.

Charlie is one determined young woman left with a huge responsibility filled with love but heartache too. At the same time, she is still dealing with the loss of her own grandma less than a year ago. Yet, she has left her the retirement home in Sitka, Alaska.
There are like six guests but two they have dementia that seems to be costing her the most pain Rose & Francis because they were her grandma’s best friends. Being that she was raised in this home after her parents passing it is very personal.
The thing is she is way over her head as far as keeping the books and whatnot. So, she has had to take on a waitressing job to try and make ends meet. On this day it’s not even working she spills water on a customer and gets fired along with her several times being late. When it’s said and done and she tells him off little does she know that they will meet again?
You see this sexy stranger is Rose’s long-lost grandson. You will. I give this: 5 stars.

Frustrating
I know it’s just me but these two were so annoying! The story was cute and had fun points but his jealous reaction to her boyfriend made me want to hurl an axe! Talk about over reacting. I had to put the book away for a few hours till I could force myself to finish it. -

For me this book was frustrating but the title speaks for itself until the very very end. Reading it your just like come on! It was okay for me. Not really my favorite I've read, personally. It does pull that growl from you because she's trying to forget the billionaire.

Sweet
This was really sweet story. I loved the premise and all of the many characters were great. This was a really fun, clean romance. -
There isn’t much to say about this book. It was pretty typical for a billionaire book. He swoops into a situation where money can go a long way but the object of his affection isn’t impressed. They realize there is an attraction but they can’t do anything about it due to outside forces. But they are able to overcome these forces which gives a happy ending to the story.
I did find it interesting that there was only one restaurant in the town but there was a bakery with wedding cake samples ready for tasting and a mattress store with 10 twin beds in stock. -
2.5 stars. This was my first book with this author but I gave to say it really wasnt my cup of tea. I really wanted to like it! I liked the setting, the background of the characters, how they met, etc. The execution of the story was my issue. It was pretty corney and the dialog was awkward. It just didnt seem real.
I'm sorry I just can't recommend this book. -
This is the story of Mitchel, the Billionaire, and Charlie. Anne-Marie's story's are usually easy reading, clean, fun HEA, but this one had a lot of twists and turns and ups and downs, to the point that at times you weren't sure if you could find your way out. Alls well that ends well as the saying goes. If you stick with it the story makes sense. Just murky at times.

Forgetting the Billionaire
He went looking for his grandma and found a woman who stole his heart. But life was not going to let them have an easy courtship. In walks his fiance and her ex. What happens next seems to be a comedy of errors that seems that they both won't be winning in the game of love. Or maybe they will. -
Clean romance
I like how the relationship between Charlie and Mitchell is a slow build from complete strangers to falling in love.
I also like the fact that this book is a clean read. -
What a refreshing idea to have a romance that didn't have copulation as a factor. It was also stimulating to have a heroine who was concerned for her paying boarders' happiness, and then had to learn that her own happiness was also of importance.

Forgetting the Billionaire
Frankie had a lot on her plate and Mitchell added to it. Reading about their lives and how much they both needed each other was so enjoyable. Can't wait to read the next book.
