The CEO's Ten Million Dollar Wife
One night of boldness leads to a marriage of convenience. Just a plain agreement. No commitment but a lot of sex. She is liking the setup until the 'right one' came back. Without a fuss, she left, bringing the memories and another heartbeat. ********** Dumped by her two-year relationship for the reason of her being prude and frigid, Alexzia Montes proves she was otherwise. With four glasses of wine in her system, she delved into a passionate night with a stranger she randomly picked. "Do I need to pay you? How much?" she outrightly asked. "Can you afford me?" he snickers. "Just tell me how much" she stubbornly retorted. She is getting pissed by his arrogance. "500 billion dollars" he briefly replies with raised challenging brows. "What?" she mumbles in disbelief. "My present net worth is more or less 500 billion dollars" he unconcernedly replied. Stunned, she becomes quiet. "That's why you look familiar..." she frustratedly whispers, facepalming herself. The man she often sees on tv and in newspapers but hasn't met in person. The only person in the country who has a five hundred billion net worth. "CEO Lucien Wright..." she whispers in despair, almost indistinct. Of all people, she had chosen the cold and ruthless CEO of Wright Group of Companies. How could she afford him? He could even buy her, body and soul. "I need a wife, a bait for my girlfriend to come back. Name your price" he casually announced, handing her the documents. "Once she is back, you will sign the divorce paper and peacefully leave. I will pay you, just name the amount" he added. The offer is tempting Alexzia. She needs ten million dollars and it's an impossible plight but she has an easy way out, being a Ten Million Dollar Wife to CEO Wright.

What Awards Has 'Priestdaddy' Won?

3 Answers2025-07-01 10:02:07

I remember 'Priestdaddy' making waves when it came out, though it didn't scoop up as many awards as some expected. The big one was the 2017 Goodreads Choice Award for Memoir & Autobiography, which was huge given the competition. It also got nominated for the Thurber Prize for American Humor, showing how brilliantly it balanced deep themes with laugh-out-loud moments. What stood out was how Patricia Lockwood's unique voice—part poet, part preacher's kid—got recognized in literary circles beyond just awards. The book popped up on tons of 'Best of 2017' lists from places like The New York Times and NPR, which in my book counts as a win even without trophies.

Why Is 'Priestdaddy' Considered A Humorous Memoir?

3 Answers2025-07-01 19:44:16

I cracked up reading 'Priestdaddy' because Patricia Lockwood turns her bizarre upbringing into comedy gold. Her dad’s a guitar-shredding, ex-metalhead priest who walks around in his underwear, while her mom’s the queen of unintentional one-liners. The humor comes from how Patricia describes their antics—like her dad ranting about demons while microwaving frozen burritos, or her mom casually referring to the pope as 'Frank.' It’s not just weird family stuff; it’s how she frames it. The memoir thrives on contrasts: sacred vs. ridiculous, parental authority vs. total chaos. Her wit turns even dark moments, like financial struggles or church scandals, into something you laugh at while wincing.

Is 'Priestdaddy' Based On A True Story?

3 Answers2025-07-01 21:19:57

I just finished reading 'Priestdaddy' and was blown away by how raw and real it felt. The book is absolutely based on Patricia Lockwood's actual life experiences growing up with her eccentric father, who really is a Catholic priest. She doesn't hold back in describing the bizarre household dynamics - from her dad playing electric guitar in his underwear to the time she had to explain internet memes to him. The memoir captures the weirdness of religious family life with such vivid detail that it couldn't possibly be fiction. Lockwood's writing makes even the most surreal moments feel authentic, like when she describes her mother's habit of collecting stray animals or her father's unorthodox sermons. What makes it special is how she balances humor with deep emotional honesty about faith, family, and finding your place in the world.

Where Can I Buy A Signed Copy Of 'Priestdaddy'?

3 Answers2025-07-01 08:12:56

I snagged my signed copy of 'Priestdaddy' directly from the publisher's website during a limited promotion. Author Patricia Lockwood occasionally does signings through indie bookstores like Powell's or The Strand—check their event calendars. For guaranteed signed editions, rare book dealers like Bauman Rare Books often stock them, though prices can be steep. I've seen signed copies pop up on eBay, but authentication is tricky; look for COAs from reputable sellers. Pro tip: Follow Lockwood on social media; she announces surprise signed book drops there. My local bookstore special-ordered one for me after contacting the distributor, so that's another route worth trying.

How Does 'Priestdaddy' Portray Religious Family Dynamics?

3 Answers2025-07-01 12:01:34

'Priestdaddy' hit close to home in the best way. The book paints this vivid picture of a family where faith isn't just background noise—it's the entire soundtrack. The father, an actual priest, rules with this bizarre mix of divine authority and dad jokes, while the mother's quiet devotion contrasts sharply with the chaos. What's genius is how the author shows religion as both a bonding agent and a wedge—family dinners turn into theological debates, prayers become passive-aggressive weapons, and Sunday sermons double as family therapy sessions. The kids rebel but keep circling back to those ingrained values, proving you can't ever fully escape your upbringing. The dynamic feels authentic because it's messy—full of love, judgment, inside jokes, and unresolved tensions that make real families tick.

Who Narrates The Audiobook Version Of 'Priestdaddy'?

3 Answers2025-07-01 19:53:54

I recently listened to 'Priestdaddy' and was blown away by the narrator's performance. The audiobook is voiced by Patricia Clarkson, who brings such warmth and wit to Patricia Lockwood's memoir. Clarkson's delivery captures the eccentricities of Lockwood's family perfectly, especially her father, the unconventional priest. Her voice has this dry humor that matches the book's tone, making the bizarre moments funnier and the tender ones more poignant. I'd recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys memoirs with a sharp, literary edge. If you like this, try 'Educated' by Tara Westover next—another memoir with a stellar narration.
