I started out loving this.  She made up a fake boyfriend to get her mother off her back.  Then he turns up and decides to play along with it to help her out.  He is a billionaire so he has access to everything.  He really knew her way back when she was in school but he was too old for her so he stayed away.  she is working on her Ph.D., so she is now older and hopefully a lot smarter. She has a rather sharp tongue and a wicket sense of humor.  He is fascinated by her putting down all his wealth and what it buys.  Of course, she has sex with him within a matter of days and it is mind-blowing.  But she has had a lot of experience in this department so she should be good at it.spoiler...the rest is just how the story effected me.  Just an opinion, nothing more.He invites her to go on a cruise of the Med in a yacht big enough to carry 2 cars, a helicopter, etc.  it is big.  she goes. There is nothing they can't do or money can't buy.  She is enjoying every minute of it.  Waited on hand and foot by staff, pulls in to every port and nothing is beyond her reach.  BUT, she is annoyed that he spends time on his phone working deals, etc.  She wants him to just lay around the boat having sex with her.  Now all the rich people are stuck full of Botox, fake boobs and snorting coke.  of course, the middle class or poor folks don't do any of this!!  NOT.  But she can't handle their lifestyle.In one port a guy comes into a restricted area and starts taking pictures.  The body guards tell him to leave, he stays.  She finally tells him, in his language, to leave and he stays.  So the bodyguards grab his camera, toss it in the bay, and then take him out of the area.  She gets  mad because he was handled badly.  Really?  I wonder He was totally in the wrong and was lucky they didn't toss him in the bay.  I started out liking this girl but by this point I am getting just a little sick of her snarky attitude and because you have money you are the bad guy.  Sound familiar?  all this is taking place around Italy and Germany.Everything always has to be her way, if she doesn't get it then she blows up and gets mad and he gives in to her.  Finally she decides to leave the boat.  She can't take the rich lifestyle, he is not at her beck and call, he won't give up working - I don't suppose she has ever considered that all those companies that he owns have people working for them that depend on that job to live and support their families and the responsibility of all of it falls back on him.  She blames all the ills for his family, etc. on the fact that they have money.  She of course has a perfect life and they were comfortable but not rich.  That guarantees a perfect life.  Every time things didn't go her way she would lock herself in her room.  What is she?  12!!  She sure didn't act her age and a gal that had the experiences she had had.I was glad when she left the boat and thought good riddance, he deserves better.  Then he comes back and he is willing to give up every thing to be with her, blah, blah blah.  I didn't even read to the ending I was so outdone with this whole scene.  he gives up every thing and she gives up nothing and she is right about everything.  Oh yeah, I can see this one lasting forever.  I ended up not liking it at all.  I thought the heroine was a selfish bitch.  I liked him, he was a great guy and really wanted to do and give her everything including himself and his life but no she had to change him to be what she wanted.  I just didn't like it at all.  Remember this is just my opinion and nothing more.  Obviously a lot of reviewers really liked the story.  So I would suggest you read it and decide for yourself.
