I have to admit that part of my low rating for this book is my fault. I tried to read 50 Shades a while back and couldn't stomach it because it wasn't all that believable. Unfortunately, neither is Lena Skye's Dating the White Billionaire.First off, the main character is a Black woman that is truly the epitome of nearly every Black stereotype out there. She's sassy, she's "independent", she's "nasty but klassy" -- while I'm sure there are Black women out there that have these traits in real life, I would rather have something different. What about the Black woman that went to college and got a degree in microbiology, or the one that gave up her life in the ghetto to become an art teacher? To me, the book started off on a bad note because the main character was a stereotype; one that constantly contradicted herself and literally made no sense.Enter the love interest: an Edward Cullen or Christian Grey type of white guy, who has everything he wants and more, except someone to dominate. These things an exaggerated romance may make, but its so unbelievable and hard to stomach, that I couldn't even get through the book.I definitely agree with other reviewers on the editing parts as well. Tthere were constant misspellings, double letters, repeating words, and even random breaks in the dialogue. All and all I have to say that I'm glad the book was free.
