Tina Chen just wants a degree and a job, so her parents never have to worry about making rent again. She has no time for Blake Reynolds, the sexy billionaire who stands to inherit Cyclone Systems. But when he makes an offhand comment about what it means to be poor, she loses her cool and tells him he couldn’t last a month living her life.

To her shock, Blake offers her a trade: She’ll get his income, his house, his car. In exchange, he’ll work her hours and send money home to her family. No expectations; no future obligations.

But before long, they’re trading not just lives, but secrets, kisses, and heated nights together. No expectations might break Tina’s heart...but Blake’s secrets could ruin her life.

Review

Trade Me is a excellent romance. I am not a huge fan of the New Adult but I love Milan so I was happy to try this one.

It is a smart book with careful contemplations of class, gender, and race and yet remains deeply entrenched in what is best in the Romance genre--what it means to be human, the search for connection, and the ability to risk and love. 

It has everything a reader could want. Well developed characters, humor, realism with an insight into the fantasy world of the very wealthy, intimate sexy times, and a love that is not easy but is grand. 

What makes Trade Me a great book is all the small touches. The history of Tina's parents, Blake's struggle for control over overwhelming situations, Tina's roommate (who I am thrilled to see should be getting her own love story, and a wonder of other unexpected gifts.

The writing is fierce. Can't wait for the rest of the series. 

I was given this book for my honest review. So, there you have it!
