My Review:

I really enjoyed reading Matched to a Billionaire, Kat Cantrell is one of my favorite authors and when I had the chance to read this book I read it right away and it didn't disappoint. Leo Reynolds is looking for a convenient wife, one that will host his parties, look over his schedule and be strictly business. He hires a matchmaker to pick him the perfect wife, with the condition that love will not be part of their marriage. 

Handpicked by a matchmaker, Daniella White accepts the marriage contract to be able to help cover her mom's medical procedures. She willingly sacrificed her future at happiness all to be able to help out her mother. But neither of them meet until the very day of the wedding and that's when sparks fly and their attraction becomes mutual. The more they start to spend time with each other, Leo realizes just how attracted he is to Daniella and wishes for them to get closer, but the minute he sees more than just passion in their lives he starts to pull back. He has worked all his life to achieve the success that he has to let it all go if he gets distracted by falling in love, it's just not in his plans. But Daniella makes him feel different, and he'll have to decide if he is going to fight for her love or to let her go.

It is evident right away that both characters need each other, their marriage is not just about attraction, but about love. There were times when I wasn't sure if I liked how the characters reacted to certain situations. Leo becomes obsessive/jealous and Daniella a bit demanding. Aside from that the ending was perfect and the writing flowed very well throughout the story that it just makes one want to keep reading until the very end. I definitely recommend it.
