“Rich Boy was witty, exciting and had the most intense slow burn romance I’ve read in a long time. ”
—Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author
The Rich Boy, an all-new “do not miss” swoon-worthy standalone with off-the-charts chemistry from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, is available now!
I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work – starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way.
But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world?
Only there’s so much more to him than that.
Billionaire playboy? Check.
Troubled soul? Check.
The owner of my heart, the man I’ve moved halfway across the country to be with, who’s laying the world at my feet in order to convince me to never leave? Check. Check. Check.
But nobody does complicated like the one percent.
This is not your everyday rags-to-riches, knight-in-shining armor whisking the poor girl off her feet kind of story. No, this is much messier.

Excerpt
“You haven’t told me your story,” he says once we’re seated in a booth and have ordered.
“I finished my degree and realized it was basically good for nothing and there were next to no jobs available anyway. Or at least nothing that appealed. Teachers and librarians are fighting for every scrap of funding they can get while newspapers are folding. The publishing industry is going through serious cutbacks. Majoring in English Lit may have been a mistake.” I shrug. Truth is, I got stuck for various reasons. But this explanation is easier to swallow. “Figured if I was going to wind up serving then I’d like to do it somewhere I can walk along the beach now and then, without getting stuck in traffic for hours.”
He nods. “Makes sense.”
“I thought so. I’ll figure out what I want to do with my life eventually.”
“No rush. Good that you can take the time and space to figure things out for yourself without anyone pressuring you.”
“Just the student loans hanging over my head,” I say.
His answering smile is brief and small. “Grow up around here?”
“Close enough, San Bernardino,” I say. “What about you?”
“No, I’m half a country away from home and intend to keep it that way. Though maybe half a country away is still too close. I hear Iceland’s nice this time of year.”
I raise my brows in question.
“Family.” He shrugs. “What can you do?”
The waitress delivers our food, filling up the table with Beck’s order of half of the breakfast menu. Without hesitation, he proceeds to devour it all. If I ate that much, my ass wouldn’t fit in the seat.
“Want some?” He offers me a forkful of pancake, dripping with syrup. “It’s good.”
“I’m fine with my burger. Thanks.” And I’m curious as heck about his family, but pressing him further wouldn’t be polite. Dammit.
“So what are my future wife’s favorite hobbies and or interests?”
“Hmm.” I stick a fry in my mouth and chew, thinking it over. “Reading, films, music…the usual. You?”
“Lots of things.”
“Such as?”
“I don’t know…hiking, rock climbing. Stuff like that.”
“So basically I like to sit still and you’re all about being busy and athletic. We have nothing in common.”
“No. Wait. I can change,” he jokes. “Give me another chance.”
“You shouldn’t have to change.” I swirl another fry in some ketchup. “I’m sure you’re perfectly fine just as you are.”
Reviews:
The Rich Boy is a new standalone by Kylie Scott that was such a delight to read. It was a really sweet and swoon worthy, fairytale type, slow-burn romance that I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end. I was completely swept up in this story, these characters and their journey to happily ever after.
Alice is working as a waitress when the gorgeous new busboy starts flirting with her. He couldn't possibly be into her... Could he? She's just your average run-of-the-mill girl. But after much persistence, she finally agrees to go out with him. I mean after all, he's funny, sexy and sweet, and can quote Austen like no other.
The two go on a few fun dates before he is called home to Denver. He wants her to come with him, but she flat out turns him down. Though later she has a change of heart and flies out to be with him. Folks, this is where the real entertainment begins. Welcome to the world of the wealthy complete with a crazy family, a mean scheming grandma and a jealous ex-girlfriend.
LOVED IT! This story was so well written. Kylie Scott took this trope and made it her own. Both Alice and Beck were endearing. I couldn't help but to fall head over heels for these two. The fire between them shined bright. And the writing, the pacing, the dialogue... I felt like everything was solid. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's looking for complete enjoyment. I believe it's a read that will appeal to the masses. Five stars for Alice, Beck and The Rich Boy.

I love this book so much!! This is a different side of Kylie Scott, that I don't recall ever reading. Proving she can write any sub genre of romance. She is a master at switching up her sub genre and this one was awesome. I love Beck and Alice, and all the flaws and baggage, and I have to confess, Alice is the kind of badass fearless female I hope to be one day.
While the world the author has created is a little crazy, it's still relatable, and I honestly want her to write more of it. Beck's whole family is just one big bag of crazy, but I love every word of this book. I never wanted to put it down, and it just was a flat out fantastic read.
