About this listen

Fake dating my enemy so I can design my dream bakery should be easy...as long as I don't fall in love with him.

Dominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades, but he doesn’t know a thing about baking. He doesn’t even like sugar.

So when my late stepfather’s will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific Coast Resort he’d painstakingly designed, as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it, it’s no surprise he balks. Yet, my jaw drops when the will further requires us to mutually approve plans for my bakery’s design. His stuffy taste will never mix with my whimsical vibe.

But then Dominic comes to me with a proposal I can’t refuse. He’ll give me everything I want in my bakery as long as I agree to one thing:

Fake date him for five months. Keep his ex away by pretending we’re in love. Smile and stare into his piercing green eyes at a gala or two. Maybe share a kiss. Nothing extreme. Five months of acting in love when I really loathe him and his filthy mouth. Even when he’s using it on me.

This should be a cakewalk. Except there’s a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I’ve made the colossal mistake of blurring it.

I like this second book in the series more than the first book. I like how Clara’s story is told and how Dom has to struggle from being the dominant bossy CEO building this new resort but while telling & encouraging Clara to stand up for herself they enter a fake relationship which they start to develop feelings but is it fake or real and both have there secrets they keep until they come to light.

A good read

This is the first Shain Rose book for me and I’ll be making sure to read more. I loved the characters and story line. And would highly recommend this book.

However, as an audiobook I think it took it to another level. I absolutely adored it. I would highly recommend downloading today.

Brilliant read. Amazing as an audiobook

This is a really good story and I learnt something new. About different illnesses.
And narration is brilliant Joe Arden and CJ Bloom are a good paring.

Would have liked a longer epilogue but other than that it was a nice easy listen and the narrators did a great job of bringing the characters to life

Nice easy listen

Not my cup of tea, everything was so exaggerated and unbelievable. The fmc was really annoying, and the lack of proper communication between her and the mmc was frustrating. The way the mmc handled his ex was just childish and the ex was portrayed so over the top horrible, no one in their right mind would let her stick around. I'm so disappointed, I had high hopes for the book.

Unoriginal
