5 Big Beautiful Stars for How to Belong with a Billionaire by Alexis Hall

If you love someone, set them free...
 
I thought I'd be okay when Caspian Hart left. He was a brilliant, beautiful billionaire with a past he couldn't escape. And I was ... just me: an ordinary man lost in his own life. It would never have lasted. It should never have happened. Not outside a fairytale.

And I am okay. I've got my job, my family, my friends, and everything Caspian taught me. Except it turns out he's going to marry his ex-boyfriend. A man who doesn't understand him. A man who almost broke him. And I've finally realized it's not enough for me to be happy. I need Caspian to be happy too.
 
Problem is, I've already done all I can to help him. I've followed his rules and broken his rules and learned his secrets. And he still won't believe I can love him. So now it's his turn. His turn to fight, and trust, and hope. It's time for Caspian Hart to choose me.

What I thought about
How to Belong to a Billionaire 

I almost didn't read this book. I wasn't thrilled with the previous book in the series. But then I got the itch to find out what happens to Arden and Caspian, so I jumped in. I'm so glad I did.

Arden is living with Ellery and attempting to deal with his broken heart by throwing himself into his work. He still loves Caspian and isn't quite ready to let him go. He does recognize he needs to make some steps, and his friend and work colleague George is there to help him. George is a fascinating character that brightened the book in so many ways. I adored the affection for Arden and the photo shoot storyline is a memorable part of the book. George was a ray of light when Arden is hurting the most.
 
One of Arden's first work assignments is to interview Caspian, where he finds out he's engaged to Nathaniel. Talk about awkward reunions. I could feel Arden's pain here. Wait -- it gets better!

There's a scene where Nathaniel has a dinner party for the three of them, and it is absolutely hilarious! Arden is so precious, so likable, it makes everyone else pale in comparison.

There are so many emotions on the pages here as Arden learns about himself in the process of learning to live without Caspian. I really fell in love with this character.

The ending is priceless, the literary references smile-inducing. I loved everything about this and it will definitely be on my "favorites of 2019" list. I asked myself who was really the billionaire and it was Arden, dear, sweet, soulful, insightful Arden who owned his mistakes and was a richer man for it.

An ARC was provided for review.

About the Author

Alexis Hall was born in the early 1980s and still thinks the 21st century is the future. To this day, he feels cheated that he lived through a fin de siècle but inexplicably failed to drink a single glass of absinthe, dance with a single courtesan, or stay in a single garret.

He did the Oxbridge thing sometime in the 2000s and failed to learn anything of substance. He has had many jobs, including ice cream maker, fortune teller, lab technician, and professional gambler. He was fired from most of them.

He can neither cook nor sing, but he can handle a 17th century smallsword, punts from the proper end, and knows how to hotwire a car.

He lives in southeast England, with no cats and no children, and fully intends to keep it that way.
