The Billionaire's Baby: 3 (Seduced by the Billionaire)

Product Information

And what is with the men in this book thinking women only like pretty and sparkly things to keep them happy. What more could a lady need? Geez who wrote this and what century are they in? Honestly praise my girl Amandine for not slapping him right there. AND THEN, because I’m not done, he proceeded to announce that if she didn’t give him a chance he would take their unborn baby away from her as soon as it was born, LIKE HUH??? BITCH? DONT PLAY WITH ME, I WILL DRAG YOU. this book is really funny because it centers around the idea 'what if two people never communicated, ever' and i thought it was really funny because of how ridiculous it was. also, sure it has some ridiculous things because of the whole 'billionaire' aspect, but i don't mind that. but the miscommunication reached levels that was just a bit too baffling.here's a list of things the protagonists don't know about one another:

When Amandine's health took a small nose-dive, the doctor put her on moderate bedrest which caused Gavin to go into over-protective mode and hire more staff to "guard" her in case she was in need. At this point, there was just over a month left in the reconciliation agreement, which Gavin brought to her attention. She wanted to know if he was asking for more time since some unexpected issues had cropped up in the midst of the plan. He said he was just wondering where they stood at that point. Amandine asked him why he wanted to save the marriage. Gavin gave several reasons: the baby, her complicated pregnancy, and his feelings for her. When she asked him to clarify his feelings, he said, "Affection. The need to care and provide for you and our child". That wasn't what she wanted to hear and was disappointed. So she told him they were at the point where she still wanted the divorce. He argued that she needed him, and all she could say was, "so convince me". Immediately after Catherine's visit, Gavin and Amandine had a final blowout where she poured her heart out and told him exactly WHY she had reached the decision to file for divorce. She told him she had married him because she loved him but that she couldn't continue with the reconciliation...and that he couldn't have the baby. She said she couldn't stay with him because she wasn't happy, that she couldn't live her life being unwanted. He got quiet, then said he'd have his attorney call hers, then left. he had hired a whole staff without asking for her input or opinion (not that it mattered because later in the book he has to make medical arrangements and again, he makes them without consulting his wife at all) the male main character thinking "he thought she was happy" after she's asked him for divorce and explained what was wrong. like what do you mean you thought she was happy! can we use our brains!The story started off pretty strong. Then halfway through the book the repetitiveness just got annoying. One of the couples main issues was that the h (Amandine) didn’t believe the H (Gavin) truly loved her. The H was told what the issue in the relationship was quite a few times and his inner monologues showed his awareness that he wasn’t showing the h he loved her but every time he still continued with his bullshit of “I give her all the material things she could ever need, what more can I give her”. I mean, I don’t know maybe listen to her and everyone else and actually be around.

Before Gavin could leave the office later, Amandine's brother, Pete (who worked for Gavin), showed up with dinner for the two of them, during which Gavin asked his brother-in-law what he would do if he and Amandine divorced. Pete stated that would only come about if Gavin himself caused the problem and/or initiated proceedings...or if he did something to kill her love for the man...because Amandine loved him so much. That made Gavin question whether or not that's what he had done.both these people are terrible at communicating, don't get me wrong, but mmc is so much worse, to the point that it's ridiculous. the woman could have done a better job which is why i think she has part of the blame in the marriage deterioriating, but when the guy is so much worse in absolutely never being there, always standing her up and not reacting 'till she says she wants a divorce and even then taking two months to get the problem after it was spelled out to him... i don't know, bestie, i think the blame is more his than yours. Saving their troubled marriage will require more than expensive gifts and a second honeymoon. If Amandine and Gavin can't overcome their pride and private fears, they'll have to let go of each other forever... This was a frustrating read for me. It started out strong. I was right with her with her fury over his dumbass decision to visit his SIL (having a breakdown) on their anniversary, but I didn’t understand why he couldn’t understand his mistake or why she was upset. also there's some weird comments that made me side-eye the book but the entire book is just So Much that i don't even know if i want to get into it. i could get critical but like... do i want to. is it worth it.
