Simply amazing yet again! these stories keep getting better and better! I can't wait to see what's next!

I did like the premise of Million Dollar Marriage and if it wasn't for a few things, I think I'd have enjoyed the book a lot more. This novel takes place in a reality show in which single and adventurous people sign up to get the opportunity to earn one million dollars.

Nell is a young woman who is afraid to face the real world. So, instead of working, she decided to study even more to increase her professional credibility on her field. However, today at the age of 25 she has just finished her doctorate and there is nowhere else to go. But now she's neck in deep in student loans and she has no idea how to pay for all of it. Until the day she listen about a new reality show in which the winner would win one million dollars. Even though she doesn't enjoy reality shows and also doesn’t have an adventurous vein in her body, she decides to give it a try.

Luke is also completely drowned in debt. His bar left by his grandfather isn't going well and he can't no longer take out a loan from the bank. He's doing the best he can but he doesn't know how to get more money to pay his debts and also his grandmother's nursing home, so when his best friend says he should consider the idea of this new reality show, he jumps at the opportunity.

That said, Nell and Luke soon get paired and embark on this journey together. Initially things between them doesn't go well. They're totaly opposities. He is sociable, easygoing, competitive, adventurous, sexy, a body full of tattoos and he doesn't believe in love. She is introverted, antisocial, shy, always buried in books and inexperienced in almost everything in life. They are not each other's type, but somehow there are chemistry and a lot of atraction between them.

I'm not gonna spoil the dynamics of the show, but if they both wanna win it, then they'll have to put their issues aside and work together. However, as they get to know each other, things start to change as well.

I enjoyed the first 10% of the book, until I got to know Nell a little bit more. She kind of ruined the story for me. I din't like her in the begining and I still didn't like her in the end. She's extremely annoying and irritating, so much so that I don't even know how Luke eventually fell in love with her. Actually this part was so forced, that it didn’t convince me.

After a certain point, Nell became more friendly and nice because she was falling in love for the first time and experiencing things she never did before and all of it was changing her. So even though I recognize she got a lot better, still the author couldn't change that first impression I got from the begining. However, It did held my attention and kept me up late reading because for a while there the book was funny and occasionally moving, but I still wish some things would have been done differently. Like the unnecessary drama in the end. It was silly and very much predictable. Also the way things fell into place just right, was kind unreal.

Over all it was an okay book. Like I said the premisse about two people falling in love in a reality show was exciting but I think at the end I enjoyed the idea of the book more than the book per se.

I love a good Katy Evans book and this one didn’t disappoint! It was a quick read for me with a fun and witty storyline. The main characters had so much chemistry. I would definitely recommend this story!!

Can opposite turn into Forever?

In the second book in the Million series we get to know Luke so much better. He is such a nice guy it was easy to like him. However Nell needed her layers pealed a bit first in the end I grew to really like her. I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Authors Blurb:If someone had bet Nell a million dollars that she would be saying “I do” to a complete stranger on national television, she’d have called them crazy, but with her crushing student loan payments sending her deep into the red, she’s out of options. This should be nothing more than a business transaction—until she sets eyes on her groom, and everything changes.
The game is on the instant Luke spots Penelope “Nell” Carpenter. He’s out for the money, yes, but getting a little dirty with Nell doesn’t sound too bad either. Everyone knows he’s not the marrying kind, so it’s a good thing it’s just for show. God knows he’s the worst guy his pretty wife should pick for real.
They have nothing in common, but if they want the grand prize, they’ll have to beat out eight other couples. Proving that total opposites attract should be easy enough…as long as they don’t fall in love in the process.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

I loved Nell and Luke! They both decide to do a show involving a fake marriage for a million dollars. Luke is doing it to save his family bar and Nell needs to pay off her student loans. They are paired and tie the knot. The trick is trying not to fall In love with each other while frantically trying to win the game. Can they win each other’s heart and trust? Can something fake turn into something real? Such a great read! It will keep you on the edge of your seat! Move over Amazing Race, there is a new game in town! 5 stars

What more can you want in a book that is intriguing and entertaining when the characters go on an amazing adventure??
I loved this story hard. It made me laugh alot!!!! I loved everything, the banter, the chemistry between Luke and Nell and the whole storyline had me riveted. I felt like I was watching a tv show thats how good it was.
When Nell meets Luke, needless to say she thinks he's a dirty thug but as you read on she realises things about herself and Luke as well. I think she grew as a person and strived to do her utmost to help Luke win! What can I say about Luke, OMG me!!!!! What a man. Yes, hes had it tough but he is also trying to make things better for himself and I have to rather admire both of the characters as how they grew whilst on the ride of their lives.
This story is an absolute must read where the characters go on an adventure that rivals the amazing race. It should be a tv show/movie. I'd certainly watch it for sure!!

I loved this story and really really liked the dirty yeti Luke and Nell who both find themselves on a new reality game show to try and win a million dollars. This book for me was funny, touching and steamy while both main characters navigate through the game and their forced relationship.

Even better for me this is a new author I have discovered and am now off to read more by Katy Evans.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this story in exchange for a honest review.

I love The Amazing Race since the first season. So, imagine how happy I was to be reading a romance in a similar setting (with some twists). Nell is adorably nerdy, and Luke is...well, Luke. Opposites attract, but then so do those who aren't as different as they may seem. Everyone needs love, and I am so happy I got to journey with these two while they found theirs!

I adore Katy Evans.
She literally cannot write a bad book.

I loved this book from start to finish.
All her books are awesome.
She is my go to author when i want a pick me up.

You can’t go wrong with a K.E book 👌

I loved it, loved it, loved it. I have read quite a few books from Katy Evans and there hasn’t been a bad one.
This book is about a girl named Penelope who has very low self esteem but is extremely intelligent. She loves studying, obtained a doctorate and has racked up along the way $500,000 in student loans.
Then there’s Luke a big tattooed gorgeous guy who is a reformed drug addict. His grandparents saved him after he was kicked out of home. His Grandfather had mortgaged the pub he owned to repay debt and Luke is left the pub and debt after his Grandfather dies. Together they go on a game show called Million Dollar Marriage to clear their debt.

The building of the characters is fantastic and you fall in love with Luke with his caring and thoughtful persona. He is constantly reassuring Penny his nickname for Penelope. He’s a people person and all the contestants are drawn toward him. Everyone loves him. Penelope is uptight and always sees the worse possible case. She not socialable, she wear granny pants, does not care about her looks, has big black glasses. They are opposites in every way.

You definitely will love this book. It’s a winner. ❤️

Small spoiler in the review but a spoiler warning is before it.
This book is for everyone who is fan of tv-shows like the bachelor!
We follow Nell and Luke. Two people in a lot of dept who participate more or less willingly in the new tv-show MIllion Dollar Marriage.
The protagonists could not be more different and both get thrown in a lot of very uncomfortable and it is really fun to see them overcome obstacles.
I have to say at first the idea of this Tv-Show didnt convince me, because there were quiet some strange tasks, they had to fullfil.. And while the idea of this show didnt grow on me I really enjoyed the H/h relationship.
But something that always bothers me in this kind of story is the lack of communication and the * spoiler warning* typical break up at the end of the story. I know that it is a commenly used story telling element but I am really over it.

As a HUGE reality show fan, I was super excited to read this book! I felt like it was the perfect mix between Big Brother, Amazing Race, and Married at First Sight. I loved the storyline. It felt like I was truly watching a reality show. I loved the characters, loved how different they were yet they fitted perfectly together. Overall, this was a great read. Different, but amazing. If you’re someone who loves reality shows, this book is definitely for you!

I loved the reality show aspect of the story. I liked the dual perspectives. Penelope was a relatable heroine with self-esteem issues & Luke may have had perfect looks, but he had a past that had left him stronger.

Interesting read and story. All of the recent reality shows combine to make a quirky romance. Loved Nell and Luke was the sweetest. I truly believe these reality show manipulate the "couples" and this made for a very interesting read.

I will be the first to admit that I absolutely adore Katy Evans' books. Ever since I first read Brooke and Remy's story I have been hooked on her books and will pretty much read anything she writes.

'Million Dollar Marriage' is the follow up to 'Million Dollar Devil', this novel focuses on Luke and Nell and a Bachelor-like game show they are thrown into.

Nell is a student with a lot of student debt after spending her early twenties continuing her education with masters and doctorates. Unfortunately this has left her in a very bad financial position and she needs to come up with the half a million dollars she owes and quick. With limited options she turns to the reality game/dating show to try and earn the money she so desperately needs. The winners of the show will get, you guessed it, $1,000,000.

We met Luke in 'Million Dollar Devil', he is running his grandfather's bar in Atlanta and he too needs the money to help keep the business he loves open and pay for his grandmother's care.

These two seem to be polar opposites, Nell is shy and bookish, whilst Luke is wild and outgoing. How will these two get through this competition and win the money they both desire?

Overall, this was a really fun and cute read. Many of Katy's other books that I have read are much darker, so it was lovely to read this lighthearted romantic comedy from Katy. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an easy read this summer.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. What a great book , I really enjoyed it. Highly recommend to everyone.

I freaking LOVED this book! Luke was completely swoon worthy and insanely hot! Nell is so darn cute and quirky you fall instantly in love with her. Luke's and Nell chemistry was off the dang charts. I loved their story it was such a fun and heart warming story. I wanted to devour this book but I took my time and made myself slowly absorbing the story because I can never get enough of Katy Evans writing, she always leaves me wanting more from her stories. Yet another book by Evans added to my top favorite book list.

This book was a surprise. It was surprisingly interesting! An original romance that is full of intense moments as the characters/strangers compete together in a reality competition. This was a satisfying original page-turner with likable characters.

You know I believe I have read Katy Evans before but this was before I officially started a bookstagram so I don’t remember fully BUT I have been looking forward to reading this, also HOW GORGEOUS is that cover! *sigh*

This is a GAME SHOW book! THE MILLION DOLLAR MARRIAGE. I usually watch those so to read it, let’s just say I don’t get to too often and it was quiet fun to read. I have not read book #1 so kind of went in blind but I wasn’t worried about that because this book gave me enough to understand everything.

A opposite-attract because Nell and Luke couldn’t be more different. Nell is a shy nerd that has been working hard in her life to…well get a lot of degree’s but just not too sure on what she wants to settle with, hence needing the money, to pay off her loans. Luke on the other had who run’s his grandpa’s bar is A PARTY MAN, life of the party so to say. Rough, edgy and tattooed…but secret….he has a heart of gold. He needs the money to pay for his grandma’s facility and care. So what do they do, ummm marry a total stranger on live TV! Duhh!

When lines get crossed and blur…both Luke and Nell share this amazing chemistry, raw and just plain real! They must fight together against 8 other couples. The plot was great, a little as expected so it was a little predictable for me. All the characters were good, I especially loved Nell but Luke was right there with his bad-boy persona that holds that golden heart! Slow burn for sure so beware but the working up to it was great. I had a lot of fun reading this, lot’s of laughter and action.

Million Dollar Marriage by Katy Evans a five-star read that you would say yes to every time. This is the second novel in the Million Dollar series, but they can be read as stand-alone as you do see characters from then first story in this one, but they are only minor players and don’t come up much at all. This was such a great story, much like Nell I am not a huge fan of reality TV, I also love reading too much, just different types of literature to nell, that being said I loved the take the author had on the show and how they unravelled it step by step it just gave the anticipation a huge boost. Much like the female population in this story I fell in love with Luke, body, heart and soul. This is so much more than the romance it appears on the surface, as you read you get to see the sides of the characters that you never imagine, its such a great read. I for one am hoping we get number three in the Million Dollar series.
