Magnate by Joanna Shupe
2.0

Read for #FallForJoannaShupe

Uber rich Gilded Age magnate who pulled himself up by his bootstraps falls for the beautiful and stock market savvy society good girl who bets she can double his investment if he'll back her business. The sex scenes were deliciously steamy but overall I just found myself skimming the rest. Emmett ruthlessness in getting what he wants in business was off putting to 2020 me, and I didn't like that Lizzie kind of used insider trading to win the bet? Also I really don't care about the stock market.
