Overall Opinion:
If you have read one fake relationship trope novel, you’ve read them all. “Cash” features Kara Langley who is in need fast cash to pay her ailing father’s gambling debts which accumulated over $140,000. Her big break comes when she goes to an interview and begs for a position as a Blackjack dealer at the world renown Billionaire Club despite it being known that her father was ban from every casino on the strip for reading cards. Cash Westbrook, multi-billionaire and the same man who is responsible for the termination of Kara’s father job takes notice of her spit fire attitude. After a one-night-stand with Cash turns into a million-dollar bet, the bad boy billionaire asks Kara to be his fake fiance when his future business plans are at risk of collapsing. Agreeing to the arrangement to pay off the debt that is owe, Kara finds her life in danger when someone from her father’s past comes to collect. Coming to her aid when no has ever, Kara’s one step closer to being able to share her heart to Cash but would it be enough to heal their damaged hearts?

Kara and Cash were really good developed characters with decent backstories that help define who they are. Despite that, there wasn’t anything in particular that stood out from the series. There was definitely some inconsistencies with the story and the romance seem like a little middle schoolish (instant romance, come on!), which I’m not a fan of unless the novel falls in the erotica genre. Speaking of erotica, the smexy scenes were probably the best about this series, considering that, the author should've just made this into an erotica instead of a romance novel. There was barely any real romance in it anyway. Overall, it was a good read but nothing to brag about. I've rated the series a good 3.5 stars but I opted to give it a 3 star Goodreads rating instead of rounding it off to 4 stars since there were more than a few things that bother me about the series content.

I loved this book. First off it was very well written and well researched. The world building was pretty stellar. The time travel element was believably done. The book was written in first person POV and that was also well done. Sometimes that POV can be very clunky and obtrusive. Here it was pretty seamless. I liked the heroine and I loved her True. The one person in all of history who is your perfect match. The book ended on a extremely big cliffhanger and while I can't wait for the next one, I am apprehensive about where it is going. Still, hurry up and bring it on.… (plus d'informations)
