From New York Times bestselling author Katy Regnery comes the finale to the Blueberry Lane series!

The Bohemian and the Businessman is the first of three books about the Philadelphia-based Story sisters who are all on the look-out for love.

Priscilla Story, the self-proclaimed “wild child” of the straight-laced Story clan, has always had a knack for getting herself trouble. Except this time, her “growing problem” is going to require a Daddy sooner than later…or she can kiss her inheritance good-bye.

Shane Olson, who previously dated Priscilla’s sister, Margaret, isn’t opposed to a marriage of convenience for the sake of furthering his business interests, but Priscilla – with her wild ways – is just about the last woman he’d choose to marry. In order to make the marriage look convincing, they end up having to spend more time together than they’d originally planned.

When rolling stone, Priscilla, who lives by the seat of her muu-muu, and seriously-ambitious Shane, who’s had his whole life planned since he was eleven, start falling for each other, it’s going to take a whole lot of compromise for this Bohemian and her Businessman to find their happily ever after.

4.5 stars -- I received a free copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review/opinion.

OMG!!! Stratton has competition as my favourite Blueberry Lane boy!! Shane was sooooo my type of hero. He was unsure, and confused, and inexperienced, and sweet, and caring, and SO HOT with the way he loved Priscilla!! GAH! Yup, I LOVE me some beta-ish boys. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about him after meeting him in Crazy About Cameron. He was so abrupt, and clueless, and I just didn't get a very swoony vibe from him at all. But wow, underneath all that serious exterior is someone who is just so focused on his goals, that he's let relationships fall by the wayside. I really enjoyed watching him struggle with his attraction to Priscilla, and his conflicting feelings about where he thought he was going, and where his path ends up taking him. His growth was really believable, and I LOVED the choices he made, and the points where he stood up for Pris...I didn't feel like we had to wait too long for that, I HATE when authors make you wait and then give you an abrupt change. Shane's transition and development was perfect. And on a sidenote, I want to punch Vicky in the nards!! Screw you Vicky!

And then we have Priscilla!! I was also confused on how to feel about P in CAC. But she was such a strange combination of sweet and wild! In fact, the wild is probably an overstatement. I think they just call her wild b/c they don't know what to do with her, b/c she breaks the mold. Sure, she may be a wanderer, but you find out there's reasons underlying that beyond the obvious. And OMG, I totally felt her vulnerability, and how much it hurt that being who she truly was inside was so frowned upon by most of her family. Honestly, I'm not sure how I'm going to fall in love with Betsy at all, she and Pris really have a volatile relationship...but I have faith that Ms. Regnery will work her magic. I get that in big families, there are often divisions between the different types of personalities. I LOVED that Pris had Meggie though (and vice versa).

And the great thing about Priscilla and Shane is that I really FELT their chemistry, and they totally made their "opposites attract" thing work. Like I could really feel how they each fascinated each other. Priscilla wanted to help Shane loosen up (and I think deep down he wanted that too), but she also needed the safety and security she felt with him. And Shane needed Priscilla's sweetness and light, but also gave her a safe place to acknowledge that it's OK to set down some roots. And damn! They sure know how to steam up the place!!

I will say that I'm a bit torn on Priscilla's extra secret. I don't mind the way she dealt with it, and I liked that it gave me a bit more understanding of her, but I felt like it came up really late in the book, and so it wasn't given as much attention as I would like. We didn't really get to see her have a conversation with Shane about it, it was just mentioned and moved on from. I guess that could happen, but it made me feel sad for Pris.

All in all, a FABULOUS read for me in the Blueberry Lane series. It was definitely my kind of book, and I LOVE that we get to see such wildly different people in this series, both boys and girls. Often times I feel like the heroes in long series can become a bit cookie cutter, but Ms. Regnery gives us a spectrum of both heroes and heroines. And manages to find a way for ALL characters to get into our hearts somehow. It's truly my absolute favourite thing about this series, that no matter the personality of the character, whether I'm like them or not, Ms. Regnery always manages to get me to *understand* them, and root for them. That's a sign of great character writing.

A stand alone read with a HEA. A young woman returns to the U.S. from France in a bit of trouble. The daughter of a very wealthy father who is also a bully and a hateful father, she is pregnant and not married. She knows as soon as he finds out he will kick her out of the house. She has no funds of her own, being somewhat of a free spirit she has never really worked and has no place else to go. Her other sisters are all either in established careers or they wouldn't be in any hurry to help her and make their father angry. She is desperate to find a solution to her problem and hopefully before anyone finds out she is pregnant.

The hero of the story works for her despicable father. He is being groomed to take over as CEO of the business BUT he must marry one of his daughters before that can happen. The father has a very low opinion of women as a whole but looks favorably on the husband of one of the girls. He had his sights set on one sister but she had no ambition to marry for anything but love and she does not love him. Seeing a possible way out of her problem the heroine makes the hero an offer he cannot refuse.

Things take a turn for the better as these two really get to know each other. This story has a small twist - the hero has a secret that he is afraid will turn her off to the idea of marrying him. However, our wild child sees real potential in the hero! This is a cute story, the wild child and the up-tight, proper suit make a great pair. It is a fun read with plenty of light hearted moments. There is a bit of sexy to the story so be aware if that is a problem for you. I definitely recommend the book.

I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this writer. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 10/25.17

Review by Emma-Louise Lewis on behalf of KFF

The Bohemian and the Businessman; a title that truly is the definition of just how many differences there are between Priscilla Story and Shane Olson.

“Wild child” Priscilla finds herself in a sticky situation. Pregnant and single, facing losing her inheritance, if she doesn’t marry before her secret is exposed.

“I’m not, she wanted to scream, fisting her hands by her sides and blinking back tears. I’m not even close to okay. I’m having a baby, and when our father finds out, he’ll disown me. My allowance is almost gone. I’ll have nowhere to go…

Hard working Shane, craves to be in the top tier of Story Imports…

“You can’t be a vice president here unless you’re family.”

“But Alice—“

“I’m not talking about the girls. I need the right man for the job.”

“A son-in-law, I need a son-in-law who can start taking over the reins!”

Priscilla comes up with the idea that they should marry. Solve her issue and Shane’s in one fell swoop.

Shane was a multifaceted character who broke my heart and rebuilt it so many times, I had this overwhelming desire to just tuck him in my pocket and keep him safe. Shane Olson is also a complex character, who on the surface comes across as arrogant and has no sense of humour. Who Shane really is, is much more complicated and layered. Honestly, somewhere in the midst of all the drama this book throws at the reader, I fell fast and hard for the inexperienced Shane Olson; his baby blue eyes especially.

The villain in this book is evident…Douglas Story the arrogant, sexist, vile father of Priscilla and her sisters. Douglas Story was like a bad smell you can’t clear from your nose. I have never, ever read a book where there was a character that was such a potential menace to me literally throwing my kindle across the room.

“…always wanted a boy. A son. Someone like you.

Instead I got them. A mouthy rebel, a shrinking violet, an airhead, a hippie and a big baby. Five girls.”

The beauty of the love between Priscilla and Shane is breath taking.

Maybe life is like this sometimes for some lucky people, he thought: After years and years of nothing special, someone miraculous walks into your life, and in the space of a few weeks, everything changes. You get married. You fall in love. Quickly. All at once. Without any warning. And the thing is, if you longed for it but never saw it coming, the depth of your gratitude leave you speechless, humbled you, changes you from the inside out. Because in one perfect flash of grace, everything you ever wanted is suddenly yours, even though you doubted something this good would ever happen to you.

From the front cover to the last words, I was enthralled. Carried away on a journey I was so sure was going to go blow up in their faces. Priscilla and Shane are committed and rock solid partners from a certain point early-ish in the book. I loved how they leaned on each other and supported each other. This book was the true definition of unconditional love.

Priscilla Story se tornou um espírito livre de pois de uma situação que viveu no passado, só que desta vez ela se meteu com o cara errado e corre o risco de perder toda sua herança.
Shane largou a fazenda da família ainda novo para procurar uma vida melhor. Obstinado e decidido a se um respeitado homem de negócios, ele acaba ficando preso às vontades arcaicas de seu chefe que por ironia do destino é o pai de Priscilla.

Num momento de desespero, Priscilla propõe um casamento de negócios a Shane que apesar de relutante inicialmente ,aceita a proposta. os dois acabam tendo que se aproximar mais para provar que o casamento é real e obvio que essa aproximação vai acabar em algo mais forte do que eles imaginavam.

Narrado em terceira pessoa com uma escrita leve, sexy e divertida, Kate Regnery surpreende com uma história de amor forte onde a confiança é testada além do limite e onde os protagonistas revelam segredos e me fizeram suspirar o tempo todo.
O livro tem todos os ingredientes de um ótimo cura ressaca, romance, cenas hot, suspense , momentos meigos e momentos de enfrentamento.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shane Olson is mine!!!
Reviewed in Germany on April 28, 2017

I already knew that Katy Regnery was an exceptionally talented writer that knows how to deliver a great romance story. But this book, this super sweet and heart-mealting story surpassed all my expectations!!! From page one I was unable to put it down until I finished. I was often gasping, swooning and crying tears of sheer happiness about the beauty of this love story and her main characters: Priscilla and Shane.

Let me tell you that Katy took some risks with this story that totally payed off in my opinion and give the book a unique touch that differentiates it from the others in the Blueberry Lane series. The Bohamian and the Businessman still has the Katy Regnery trademark: an unforgettable love story with a HEA. I can tell without a doubt that this gem of a book is my new favorite in this addictive series.

Priscilla Story is the “wild child” of the uptight and rich Story clan. She has no interest in being a proper lady who wears costumes and pearls every day. Priscilla wants to paint, make pottery and see the world. But her curiosity and free, hippie life style is getting her into trouble. Except this time, there is no easy solution to her “growing problem”. There is only one option left that requires a Daddy sooner than later or she can kiss her trust fund good-bye.

Shane Olson, who grew up on a farm as one of five children, always wanted more from life. This is why he left his home and persued a high education in order to fit into the world of the rich elite like the Story family. Previously dating Priscilla’s sister Margaret, he isn’t opposed to a marriage of convenience for the sake of improving his career. But Priscilla – with her wild ways and colourful outfits – is just about the last woman on earth he’d choose to marry. But the problem is, that despite the obvious differences there is a strong, consuming chemistry between them they both can't deny.

In order to make their marriage look convincing, they end up having to spend more time together than they’d originally planned. Can they both stick to the rules and terms they agreed upon or will the growing feelings between them make everything more complicated? Sometimes the most complicated things turn out to be the best...

I can't stop swooning about Shane. He is one of the best male characters Katy Regnery has ever written!  I'm so in love with him. He appears a little uptight and calculative at the beginning. But behind that tough Businessman shell hides a wonderful young man with the most beautiful heart!

Priscilla was a great heroine. I loved her and her free spirit. She brought Shane out of his shell! His love and support gave her the things she always wanted in life but couldn't find: stability and respect. The way he cherished and protected her was breath-taking!

This book is a perfect addition to the Blueberry Lane series and a very intriguing start to the Story Sisters. I can't wait to find out what Katy has in mind for Priscilla's sisters that couldn't be more different from her.

Bravo Katy for blowing my mind with another book of yours! Your wonderful stories make me still believe in love and help me escape reality - and for that I will forever be grateful. In case anyone is wondering: Shane is mine!!! 5+ stars

5.0 out of 5 stars Marriage of convenience romance that was so much more with it’s heartwarming and quirky characters

The Bohemian and the Businessman may be a marriage of convenience romance but the book was so much more than that with it’s heartwarming characters and charming plot set-up that you can’t help but get swept away with this latest Katy Regnery romance.

Told from dual perspective, Priscilla and Shane both find themselves in a pickle when opportunity strikes for this duo, who have previously had a flirty in the office type of relationship, to form a marriage of convenience. Their past history added so much weight and value to the plot set up because you could clearly understand the chemistry that sizzled between the two. While you can’t help immediately liking Priscilla, it does take a little time to fully get to know her and embrace her to the max but once you do, as a reader, you can’t help but hope she can finally find a happily ever after without her losing her true self. Shane was a rather surprising character who has sides to him that you wouldn’t expect but made him a real charming winner, especially later on in the book with his actions. Together these quirky characters, who contrast personally but compliment perfectly, are a brilliant pairing with heart, heat, and honesty that is bound to endear any romance reader.

As one of my favourite go to authors, this stunningly written book is true to style with mixing sweet and sassy with just the right amount of spice and heart that you can guarantee will leave you with a smile on your face and a warmth in your heart. Highly recommend this book and author!

Five Amazing Stars

I was so absolutely excited to to receive this amazing wonderful storyline of Blueberry Lane four, from the first ever series, The Story Sisters. Written by the most incredible author, Katy Regnery. I have loved these past extraordinary series so very much. This one is such a absolute pleasure to read!

Poor Priscilla, she was just so frightened. She no longer knew what to do. She he only realise a short time ago she was now carrying a baby. Just so frightened now what she would do now. She had to work out before everyone found out. Before they would remove here from the house where she belonged. Her father wold now be so disgraced from her direction in life. She was now in the worst situation of the whole world. What would she do now?

Not even her former boyfriend or lover would stand up for her now. It was so hopeless now, she could never depend on Xavier anymore. Probably only ever wanting her to abort their only child. Which she could never do that. She could never receive enough money left alone herself, yet her baby to survive now. She needed help from someone!

I so thoroughly adored and enjoyed this most wonderful, beautiful and romantic book. I was so pleased with with all its most brilliant and hilarious fine characters. I now can't wait so book two now. I'm so excited to read it. This was a complete Winner!!

* I recommend this book to everyone!!
