Title: Silver Fox Billionaire Boss
Author: Evie Sterling
Date: 2023
Quote: "The fans just aren't buying into you any more."
He's not really her boss. The 35-year-old protagonist of this romance is on the short list of fictional Virginia's top lawyers, and the 50-year-old protagonist is a champion stock car racer (the brand "NASCAR" is not used) who's being pushed into retirement. He doesn't want to retire but, as Nicole negotiates his contract, he decides he'll take the money and spend time with his new wife. The "attitude" that the fans "weren't buying into" was grief for his first wife. Everything will be...
I don't believe this story gives them time to know how everything will be, but he's rich and she's good-looking and most celebrity marriages are built on less. I can believe that people in their situation think everything will be lovely. Hence the bitter disappointments and messy divorces.
But the book is a fantasy, a tasteful romance with only chaste hand pats and kisses before they're married and the author is trying to tempt readers into buying another romance she just happens to have written. As a short book suitable for printing with four more that, in this case, don't form a series but appeal to the same sort of taste, it's competently written. Romance novels are marital aids. If this is the kind of story you want to read before putting on something slinky to meet your husband at the door, the money will be well spent.
