The Millionaire Mistress starts off about a young girl named Oshyn who is has bigger dreams than her current situation, which does not include Trent, the sexy older guy who has been trying to date her for some time. When she finally gives in and goes out with him the two become inseparable for a time, until it appears Trent has an insatiable sexual appetite and seeks comfort in everyone except Oshyn. Ultimately leaving her and their unborn child out in the cold. The story fast forwards a few years and picks up with Oshyn, now a single mom raising her son Micah and making a name for herself in North Carolina, after leaving everything behind to start a new life. If that wasn’t enough drama for you in the beginning, enter Oshyn’s gold-digging, don’t-give-a-damn, crazy cousin Chloe. Chloe is only interested in men with deep pockets and for her she lives true to the motto of “If don’t make dollars then it don’t make sense.”

This book was definitely filled with sex and down right excitement from the bloody catfights to the jealousy that was the pure driving force behind Chloe’s hatred for Oshyn. The author definitely kept you engrossed in the storyline because there was always some sort of chaos going on that was usually linked to Chloe. Chloe is truly an unhappy female and blames her cousin for all of her misfortune because of a painful family secret that can ultimately destroy everything.

Trying to be focused on her current life Oshyn doesn’t have time for romance until Brooklyn Jones, a handsome stranger who is indeed too good to be true, takes interest in her. For a short minute you would think she was on her way to a happily-ever-after life, but Chloe quickly takes this away as she does the unthinkable.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. I was able to complete this book in a few hours and it held my attention. If you are looking for a quick read filled with mayhem, then A Millionaire Mistress is truly the book for you.

What did you like best about this book?
I liked that despite Oshyn’s troubles she still sought a better life for herself and son and was determined to make it no matter what.

What did you dislike about this book?
The fights were not realistic. It just seemed too good to be true that Oshyn could also be equipped with a box cutter slashing anyone who tried to talk to her man while always coming home unscathed, and only bruising be her heart. I also felt that Oshyn probably should have cut her ties with Chloe but she was trying to be loyal to the fact she was actually a relative only to find out she was much more than that.

How can the author improve this book?
I think the author could have given more family background on Oshyn and Chloe, more so in the beginning instead of in the middle because you wondered why Chloe truly disliked her cousin. Other than that I didn’t really see any major improvements to be made.
