The Billionaire’s Bridal Bargain by Lynne Graham is the first part in the Bound By Gold series by Lynne Graham. Cesare must wed innocent Lizzie and ensure she’s carrying his heir to get his hands on her Mediterranean island inheritance. With Lizzie desperate to save her family’s farm, it’s only a matter of time before she gives in…and discovers the many pleasurable benefits of wearing this tycoon’s ring.
The Billionaire’s Bridal Bargain by Lynne Graham was a marriage of convenience romance which I personally think Lynne Graham does best.
Cesare is an alpha sexy hero who needs to buy the heroine’s island for his grandmother who wants to go back to her family home before she dies. The island was left to Lizzie’s family from her mother and even though her family is neck deep in debt, they can’t sell the same because of a water tight contract which needs a marriage and pregnancy. Lizzie must agree to a marriage of convenience and to have Cesare’s heir in exchange for financial security.
Lizzie and Cesare come together in unusual circumstances and slowly fall in love with each other. This was not an easy task because they two were really different people.Lizzie was a hardworking tenant farmer who was the sole breadwinner for the family. She was trying to keep her sister, Christie in Oxford and keep her insensitive and ill father sane. Cesare did not believe in love because of a previous incident in his past. Their romance was passionate and emotional and I was hooked throughout.
This story was a little different from the other marriage of convenience I have read from this author in terms of the storyline. The story was well written with a good flow and had a great character development .Not much angst and conflicts in comparison to her earlier reads like Bond of Hatred but still enjoyable because of the writing.
A must read for all the Lynne Graham’s fans out there!

Thanks for the review, Ipshita. This has to be the first tenant farmer heroine I’ve ever heard of, but it does make for an interesting story.
