She is shocked to learn that Beck is a billionaire when he is called home to Denver to deal with family matters. Beck wants Alice to come with him but she\u2019s not sure if she is ready to move halfway across the country for someone she just met.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cYou want to be with me and I want to be with you. Enough excuses. Take the leap, Alice. Promise I won\u2019t let you fall.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When Alice goes to Denver, she is thrown into the world of the ultra-wealthy. Along with more money than she could ever imagine, she sees how wealth brings with it secrets and lies and expectations she never anticipated. And with everyone seemingly against them, can they make their relationship work or will their differences ruin the love they\u2019ve just found?<\/p>\n<p><i>The Rich Boy<\/i> book is fast-paced and entertaining with wonderful characters, an intriguing and original storyline, and a beautiful love story. It is an easy story to devour and I loved it!<\/p>\n<p>Beck is fascinating. There\u2019s something about him that draws you in. It\u2019s not just his looks, it\u2019s the mysterious air he has about him. I liked him from the start and couldn\u2019t help but fall harder for him as he opens up to Alice. He\u2019s swoony and sweet, and he likes her for who she is.<\/p>\n<p>Alice is a wonderful heroine. I loved that she was true to herself. She may have insecurities but she is who she is and she is perfect for Beck. I loved that she doesn\u2019t need to prove anything to him and he doesn\u2019t expect her to change. She holds her own and is nothing like the girls he\u2019s been with, and I loved that she was a breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>Beck and Alice are amazing together. They have the same wonderful sense of humor and the banter is fantastic. I loved watching their friendship grow and it\u2019s a whirlwind romance that made we warm and fuzzy inside. They are super functional and honest as a couple. Never once did I question their feelings even if they jumped into a relationship rather quickly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI L you.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/i><i>\u201cYou L me?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIt could be <\/i>like<i>. It could be <\/i>love<i>. I honestly can\u2019t tell anymore\u2026<br \/>\nThere\u2019s just this whole mass of feelings inside me about you so I figured I\u2019d put it out there. Full and frank disclosure and all that.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cBeck\u2026\u201d<br \/>\n\u201c\u2018I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.\u2019\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>They take things relatively slow though. It\u2019s more about building a relationship than just acting on the extreme attraction. The lack of sexy time in the beginning actually does a great job at building the sexual tension until it combusts, and I loved it!<\/p>\n<p>There is very little angst and I really enjoyed that. They definitely hit road blocks as they figure out how they fit in each other\u2019s lives but I felt everything is handled maturely. I was actually expecting something big to happen and when issues finally come up, I was relieved that it wasn\u2019t just drama for the sake of drama.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I really loved Beck and Alice. Their love story is unconventional but it worked so well. I enjoyed getting to know the other Elliots too! I\u2019d love to get Emma and Matias\u2019 love story, especially after what happens to them in this book. And though Ethan rubbed me the wrong way in the beginning, I liked him more as we got to know him, and I would love for him to get his HEA!! &#8220;<i>Things are never dull with the Elliots,&#8221;<\/i>\u00a0and I want more!!<\/p>\n<p><em>*ARC generously provided by the author and Social Butterfly PR*<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=50694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check out the RELEASE BLITZ for AJ&#8217;s Review!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><b>About the\u00a0Author<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"46412\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?attachment_id=46412\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kylie-Scott-author-pic-e1646360512767.jpg?fit=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"400,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Kylie Scott author pic\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kylie-Scott-author-pic-e1646360512767.jpg?fit=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-46412 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Kylie-Scott-author-pic.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Kylie is a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York Times<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">USA Today<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> best-selling author.
