We first met Thatch and Cassie in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=10995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tapping the Billionaire<\/a><\/em> as Kline and Georgia&#8217;s best friends. We got a little snippet of the two of them but it wasn&#8217;t until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=11001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Tapping Her<\/em><\/a> that we got to know them better. I knew after reading that novella that I would fall in love with Cassie and Thatch&#8217;s one-of-a-kind love story, and I was right!<\/p>\r\n<p>Since taking care of Kline and Georgia&#8217;s cat while they were on their honey moon, Thatch and Cassie have shared texts and pranked each other on numerous occasions. They\u00a0have crazy hot chemistry and the sexual tension surrounding them is off the charts. The sex is steamy and hilarious when they finally dive in, and what began as a game of one-upping each other changes along the way and a unique love story begins.<\/p>\r\n<blockquote><i>What started out as a game of pranks and a constant battle of wills had turned into something that didn\u2019t feel superficial at all. Somewhere along the line, the playbook had changed for me. I didn\u2019t understand the details of how I\u2019d gotten here, and I had no idea if anything had changed for her, but I knew to my soul that I wanted more.<\/i><\/blockquote>\r\n<p>I absolutely loved<em> Banking the Billionaire<\/em>. Thatch and Cassie are interesting and far from perfect but they complement each other wonderfully. They are so similar, both sarcastic and unfiltered. I love how they can go from funny to serious and back again one interaction. Every scene had me smiling and the way they loved each other in their own way made my heart warm. I easily fell for them in this book and I am so glad we get more!<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=11004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FULL REVIEW<\/a> of <i>Banking the Billionaire<\/i>!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Up next&#8230;.<em><strong>Banking Her<\/strong>.<\/em>\u00a0It is\u00a0sweet, sexy, funny, and unputdownable<em>.\u00a0<\/em>In this story we\u00a0dive deeper into the lives of Thatch and Cassie. I loved Thatch in <em>Banking the Billionaire<\/em> but I love soon-to-be daddy Thatch even more. He is\u00a0such a sweet, caring man\u00a0and his love for his unborn child is absolutely beautiful. To say he went a little crazy worrying about Cassie and the baby is an understatement and his actions were absolutely hilarious. But he truly loves her and their little peanut and will do anything to watch over them.<\/p>\r\n<p>We get so much more of all the other\u00a0<em>Billionaire Bad Boys<\/em>, and I loved it!\u00a0Every single one of them is unique and hilarious in their own way and I love how they all interact together. We\u00a0get more of Wes and Winnie which is the perfect setup for their story, and Kline and Georgia add to the laughs as well. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>I enjoyed the entire story and the ending left a huge smile on my face.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=11802\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FULL REVIEW<\/a> of <i>Banking Her<\/i>!<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>Thatch is back and better than ever in <strong><em>Crazy<\/em><i> Fluffing Love<\/i>!<\/strong> He really brings on the swoon as his limits are tested when it comes to his wonderful, unique, hilarious wife, Cassie, who he has aptly nicknamed Crazy.<\/p>\r\n<p>Thatch and Cassie take crazy to the next level in this over-the-top hilarious addition to their love story. It begins with Thatch and Cassie in marriage bliss and expecting a baby with Cassie&#8217;s pregnancy hormones all over the place. Cassie doesn\u2019t want to miss out on anything when it comes to all the fun she can have with Thatch before the baby is born so she decides to plan the honeymoon they never got to have. From bachelor\/bachelorette party ideas to spring break fun (in October) and so much more, these two are in for a wild and unforgettable ride, and it is so good!<\/p>\r\n<p>Cassie is crazier than ever and really brings on the laughs when she plans a surprise honeymoon in Panama City. What should have been all fun turns into a honeymoon nightmare\u00a0that gets worse with every passing moment. This novella is freaking hilarious and over the top, but also really really sweet.\u00a0I laughed so hard I cried and I loved every bit of it.<\/p>\r\n<p>I don\u2019t want to spoil anything but the things Cassie plans are insane but so much fun. On top of all the crazy we have with Thatch and Cassie, one thing remains crystal clear &#8211; the love these two have for each other. It\u2019s strong and undeniable and they are the perfect pair who complement each other in the best ways.\u00a0They face the changes happening in their lives and I love when they figure out exactly what they want and need.<\/p>\r\n<p>It was great to get more of Thatch and Cassie, and this new novella is an entertaining addition to the Thatcher Kelly Collection.\u00a0I loved it!!<\/p>\r\n<p>Overall, <em>Charming Billionaire<\/em> combines everything we love about Thatch and Cassie into the perfect collection! It&#8217;s one you don&#8217;t want to miss if you love romantic comedies and over-the-top fun!!
