Khloe Richardson is silently pining for her boss, Bennett Charles, who barely acknowledges her existence. Her best friend Morgan has an idea: why not get Khloe a date for the upcoming company gala to try and grab Bennett’s attention and make him notice Khloe for the sexy person she is. Well, that she could be if she didn’t look like the programmer nerd she is. So they’re off to a bachelor’s auction, and Morgan will not leave without Khloe having a date, and she finally snatches the last bachelor available. Unfortunately it could not have been worse: he is none other than Irish hottie Niall Hunter, who was Khloe’s brother Michael’s best friend. Michael died three years ago, and in a drunken and grief fuelled stupor, Niall and Khloe had sex, he took her virginity, and he nearly threw her out of his house the morning after. Niall feels guilty to have betrayed his best friend’s trust in more ways than one, even though he cannot get Khloe from his thoughts. She’s loved him for as the moment she knew what love was, but she is bitterly angry, and understandably so. And their road to romance is a very, very difficult one, the conflicts and misunderstandings very well conveyed by Ms. Simone. THE MILLIONAIRE MAKEOVER is a quick read, fast-paced, written in a crisp, contemporary and fresh style. I loved the dialogues, which sounded totally genuine, especially between Morgan and Khloe. I’m not quite sure if I was supposed to like Morgan as much as I did, but I loved her! The MILLIONAIRE MAKEOVER is a fun, quick read, with a lovely Irish accent! Well done, Ms. Simone! I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really loved this one! Niall is such a tortured soul. He and Khloe had one passionate night but his guilt and grief got the best of him and he disappeared. That was three years ago. Now he finds himself as her date after her friend "wins" him in a charity bachelor auction. No way can he ever let her know how much that night affected him or that she was the only woman who had ever touched his heart. Khloe can't believe her luck when she realizes who it is her friend just spent all her money on. The last person she wants to spend an evening with is Niall Hunter. Their chemistry rocks the pages and you know they won't be able to stay away from each other. It was great fun reading how Khloe transformed into the beautiful woman that was always hiding inside her. And I adored the glam squad who helped her. They were hilarious. This is definitely a book I recommend!
