Lush Money (Filthy Rich #1)

LUSH MONEY                                          ANGELINA M. LOPEZ

As a Latinx woman, Roxanne Medina has conquered small-town bullies, Ivy League snobs and boardrooms full of men. She’s earned the right to mother a princess and feel a little less lonely at the top. The offer she’s made is more than generous, and when the contract’s fulfilled, they’ll both walk away with everything they’ve ever wanted.

Príncipe Mateo Ferdinand Juan Carlos de Esperanza y Santos is one of the top winegrowers in the world, and he’s not marrying and having a baby with a stranger. Even if the millions she’s offering could save his once-legendary wine-producing principality.

But the successful, single-minded beauty uses a weapon prince Mateo hadn’t counted on: his own desire. 

PAT'S REVIEW

I found this book to be fresh and entertaining. Latina woman Roxanna Medina is a self-made billionaire and a graduate from an Ivy League school. She is wanting to have a child and has worked out a deal with a King from a small country who is in desperate need of money for his son the Prince to be of service. She, of course, has had all of the proper tests done and all of this has been done without his knowledge. Prince Mateo Santos is working on a new type of grape for his region at the University of Davis and does not have time to be bothered by this request about a contract and meeting Roxanna. After meeting her and agreeing with the terms he changes some on the second meeting. She agrees for she wants a chance to be a mother. This story though really does not take off until you get further into the book when she goes to his country and starts to meet different people and then because of an accident to a person close to her she must go to Kansas where she is from, a small town. It is there that the story melds into a very nice love story with two people. That is until you find out that the people behind the scenes that want to destroy each of them are the people that raised them. When she professes her love for him he still is upset and she walks out. He then must find a way to fix their relationship if possible. Well maybe not, maybe she will try to fix their relationship who knows? Read this very good story to find out. It has very good characters and will keep you entertained. I received this book from Netgalley.com I gave it 5 stars.
