Review: The Charmer - Book #3 Biotech Billionaires Series - Ava Rani - May 2025

Ava Rani wraps up her Biotech Billionaires trilogy with a deliciously addictive finale in The Charmer, a sizzling slow-burn romance that blends fake marriage, billionaire charm, and corporate drama into a story that’s equal parts heart and heat.

Penelope Chen-Astor has worked hard to escape the gilded cage of her privileged upbringing in Singapore. Now a fiercely independent lawyer in Manhattan, she’s built a life on her own terms until her grandfather’s will throws a wrench into her hard-won freedom. To protect not only her own future but her mother’s financial security, she must marry and remain so for a year. The last thing she expects is for her longtime acquaintance, charismatic billionaire Xander Sutton, to become the solution to her problem.

Xander is a smooth-talking co-founder of Dawn Capital and a man who’s never had trouble turning heads except for Penelope, who has always kept him firmly in the friend zone. When a misunderstanding leads her family to believe they’re already engaged, Penelope proposes a year-long fake marriage to save face and secure her inheritance. For Xander, it’s the perfect opportunity to finally crack the armor of the one woman who’s always resisted his charm.

What begins as a practical arrangement quickly shifts as sparks fly, emotions deepen, and the boundaries of pretend start to blur. The chemistry between Penelope and Xander is electric, but their story isn't just about fiery attraction it’s about trust, vulnerability, and letting love in when the stakes are high.

Ava Rani elevates this fake relationship trope by layering in corporate espionage, complicated family dynamics, and high-stakes legal tension. The shifting settings from the glossy boardrooms of New York City to the sun-drenched tranquility of the Hamptons and the cultural elegance of Singapore.

As the third and final book in the Biotech Billionaires universe, The Charmer delivers a satisfying conclusion for fans who’ve followed this interconnected world of powerful women, swoony billionaires, and hard-earned happy endings. Xander and Penelope’s romance feels earned, their banter is sharp, and the tension simmers beautifully before boiling over in all the right ways.

If you love fake marriage tropes with a side of glitz, legal drama, and a reluctant heroine who meets her match, The Charmer is the perfect read to sweep you off your feet. Ava Rani proves once again that sometimes love really can outsmart even the best-laid plans.
