A funny billionaire romance. The male character needs a fake fiancee and the heroine falls in love while faking their engagement.

Lots of LOL scenes. Love the banter. The chemistry is terrific. Love the playfulness of the story. A fun, easy-to-read romance.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Quick Summary: A DJ and desire romance

My Review: Billionaire's Naughty Secret by Sass Green is a contemporary romance that was released on 3/26/25.

About the Book: "Billionaire's Naughty Secret is a funny, emotional, steamy, and forbidden age gap billionaire romance."

In My Own Words: A DJ and a vintage clothing loving darling meet and mix. After an impromptu save, a fake relationship ensues. Unfortunately, it brings about some unwanted attention.

About the Characters:

Pip - > I loved her interest in vintage clothing and the origin story related to her passion for thrifting. I also loved her relationship with her aunt. She seemed naive at times. In other moments, she came across as experienced. It was an interesting dichotomy.

Snickers - > There was an appeal about him. He was charming, but he was also approachable. With that said, he was disconnected in a sense. The parts of his past that shaped him were still being flushed out in real time, which made him attractive. I wanted to see how he landed when all was said and done.

Piglet - > Oh my goodness! I adored this sweetie pie. He stole the show. I appreciated that he played such a major role.

Pip's Aunt - > Her love story was a breath of fresh air. The possibility of nookie was setup so well.

Pip's Girlfriends - > They were different. The positions they took when dealing with Pip made me stop and scratch my head at times. I'm glad the author left a crumb or two. What comes next should prove to be fascinating. Hmm...

Snicker's Brother - > He had a presence that I was not expecting, despite his absence. I was left wondering what changed between the brothers. It was slightly frustrating not to fully understand the dynamic that occurred between them.

Other Characters - > Snicker's nemesis whom he grew up with got my attention. Also, his father's friend and the role he played was notable. Clare and Kit were forces who might need to get their own stories.

My Final Say: This fast-paced, age gap romance was entertaining. It had romantic moments, playful interactions, tense situations, a villain of sorts, and a HEA. The spice was low. Overall, it gets a mixed bag rating.
