Caleb and Brooke’s story was totally addicting. I couldn’t put this book down if I tried. I actually hoped for a cliffhanger (there isn’t one) because I didn’t want this story to end.” ―Cheri, Kindle Crack Book Reviews This book was inspired by a trip I made to Boston back in early 2013. xa0While sightseeing in the city, I stumbled upon a monument statue in Boston Common honoring a man named William Blackstone who just happened to be the first European to settle in Boston, living alone on what would later become Boston Common and Beacon Hill. xa0Mr. Blackstone had arrived from Lincolnshire, England in 1623 after having attended Cambridge University and been ordained as a minister.In that single moment, a spark of an idea ignited for me that Ethan Blackstone could have some American relatives living their lives in the Boston area worthy of their own stories and books. xa0I even posted a picture on Facebook and made a comment at the time, I was so excited. xa0My "Boston Blackstone" universe continued to develop slowly in my head over the next three years until I decided the time was finally right to bring it out to my readers in a new series. FILTHY RICH opens the doors into the ultra-wealthy world of Caleb Blackstone, the newly crowned head of his family as well as a billion dollar conglomerate called Blackstone Global Enterprises. xa0Still reeling from the death of his father, Caleb is questioning everything he's ever known, as well as the purpose of his life when he meets Brooke Casterley, a girl who not only captivates him, but teaches him there's so much more to life than being...filthy rich. New York Times bestselling author Raine Miller finds as much happiness in writing romances as she does in reading them. Ever since she picked up her first romance novel at thirteen years of age, she’s been hooked. Filthy Rich ―the first book in her all-new series, Blackstone Dynasty―is Raine’s latest contemporary romance. Raine lives with her handsome husband, brilliant sons, and two very bouncy (but beloved) Italian greyhounds. Read more

Features & Highlights

  • Billionaire Caleb Blackstone lives in the glamorous world of wealth and success, with every material luxury. But the moment he sees Brooke Casterley, none of that matters. Caleb is filled with a raw, undeniable need that he can’t ignore…for a girl who is so completely different from everything and everyone he’s ever known.
  • Only Brooke isn’t looking for love. She knows all too well just how much damage the wrong guy can do. Still, what sane, broke British girl can resist the charms of an incredibly sexy, chivalrous billionaire? What starts as flirtation quickly turns into all-consuming passion. Nothing could have prepared her for the searing heat of Caleb’s touch―or just how much she craves him.
  • Their whirlwind romance is the stuff of high-society fantasy―but for every moment of pleasure, there is a cost. Past mistakes and tragedy shadow them both…and falling for him might be the kind of trouble she can’t afford.

Disappointing "fast filler"

Big disappointment from author previously one of my favorites. Very weak and not very likable main characters in addition to a humdrum story line added up to a waste of money & my time. The book seemed to be a "fast filler" - an effort to appease many disappointed fans eagerly awaiting "My Lord" and her other promised sequels. At first told the interminable delay due to family issues, then revealed to be "legal issues". Someone dropped the ball where her loyal fans were concerned.

A completely enchanting story about love and redemption!

Raine Miller knows how to write a story, her writing transports you to another world. Filthy Rich follows Caleb Blackstone, an elusive billionaire who sets his sights on Brooke, a smart and savvy british girl. He pulls out all the stops, hiring her to design his place, and wooing her so she doesn't ever have a chance. However, will secrets from their pasts collide and force them apart?
This standalone is the first in a brand new series, and it does not disappoint. It's sexy, visceral, and engaging, I couldn't put it down and read it in a day. Caleb makes you swoon, Brooke makes you want to be her, and together, their chemistry is explosive.
Absolutely loved it, and I can't wait to find out about the rest of this family!
A huge thank you to the author and publisher for a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I devoured this book!

I have to begin this review by saying that it’s been a long time since I connected with a fictional billionaire Alpha male, but if you know anything about Raine Miller’s books (and the Blackstones) creating these alluring and sensual characters is one of the author’s specialties. Simply stated, I was thrilled to cozy up with Caleb Blackstone.

Filthy Rich is the first book in Miller’s new Blackstone Dynasty and centers on Caleb, a successful American executive who devotes his career to the family business after the passing of his father. This branch of the Blackstone family hails from Massachusetts, with Caleb basing his home in Boston. He’s led the typical billionaire bachelor lifestyle, including international travel and international women. Now that’s in his thirties, he seems to be reaching the point when casual sex just isn’t enough to satisfy his longings.

Brooke is a younger woman, British born but a resident of the U.S. since her teens. She’s endured a fair amount of tragedy in her short life, but has returned to Massachusetts to help care for her ill aunt and determined to make it on her own in the world. She works two jobs to make ends meet and this is how her path crosses Caleb’s.

“I’d worked my way through the room, as I had been taught by my dad – by the best to ever work a roomful of potential deals – when I decided I’d accomplished what I’d set out to do tonight. It was time for me to go. After setting my glass down on an empty table, I started for the door … until I saw her.

Just like that. She appeared in my line of sight and I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

The beautiful girl from this morning at the Starbucks on Hereford Street.

I knew it was her because how could anyone forget those sexy boots? Her blonde hair wasn’t down like it had been this morning, though. She’d pulled it back into a sleek ponytail … but she was serving at this event? I’d seen her go into that design studio next to Starbucks. She probably had two jobs. Industrious … beautiful … sexy.

I quickly returned for my half-empty glass and snatched it up from the table. I suddenly felt like an appetizer or two.”

The main thing I’ve enjoyed about reading the Blackstone men is their undeniable passion for the women they love. They are quick to decide when they’ve found love and they’re confident in how to pursue those that want most. I can’t help but find them to be spectacular men with good hearts and good (albeit intense) natures. Sure, they have loads of wealth and know exactly what to do with it, but as a reader I never feel they use their money or their power to control their partners. This makes the Blackstone men absolutely swoonworthy in all aspects and Caleb and Brooke’s story was a most welcome addition to the family dynasty.

I’m waiting eagerly for the next installment. 5 amazing stars!
