About this listen

There's no way she's tough enough to get me into shape.

Mel: K. I'll marry you but no sex.

Me: Nice. Need 2 know 1 more thing.

Mel: ?

Me: Your name?

Mel: Melanie Sanders

Me: Can I call you Mel?

Mel: No!

Me: K, C U later, Mel

When my physical therapist's ex locks her out and takes everything she owns, I want to help. However, a recent, unfortunate incident has social media all over me. Risking all, I offer her cold, hard, cash but she refuses, suggesting I'm trying to buy her sexual favors.

Now she's got this ridiculous idea she can get back on her feet with a wedding. A fake marriage might be just the thing to sweeten my side of a million-dollar deal so I agree. Everything would've worked out fine except for her sweet baby-blues. The minute they focus on me, I'm never letting her go.

Note: This series contains heated scenes, swearing, no cheating, and hard-won, happily-ever-afters.

This one really surprised me, I was thinking it would be really light and fluffy. It however delivers on feelings, chemistry and amazing characters trying their hardest to overcome the problems life has thrown at them. Both have been placed in such hard places in their lives but are clearly not giving up.

Such an amazing start to the series.

Fantastically amazing

I love this series so far. It touches on some hard subjects, but sadly these things do happen. They do destroy loved and it's good to have a happy ending. Love, the REAL kind is a longer for outcome for any abused person.
It's well spoken, the story is captivating, I would've liked to hear the abuser being punished but maybe that happens further along in the series. That's the only disappointing part

I'm loving this!

Melanie returns home to find herself locked out of her apartment by her now ex-boyfriend and not only is she homeless he won’t give her back her belongings. C.J. is a professional football player with an injured knee who is dealing with his own PR nightmare and Mel’s new client.

They decide that a fake engagement would help them both out as Melanie would have somewhere to live and CJ’s reputation would be improved by a sweet Iowa fiancée. As they spend time together, they become close however there are secrets in Melanie’s past that could destroy everything.

This is beginning of Melanie an CJ’s story and it ends with a happy for now. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and enjoyed the tone and inflection of the narrator’s voice.

C.J. and Mel!
