About this listen

In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.

On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.

Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.

Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.

Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.

As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

“Truly the stuff of which Hallmark Move Channel rom-coms are made…a fun listening experience from start to finish. Superbly narrated by the professional team of Sebastian York and Savannah Peachwood…especially and unreservedly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review

“This lighthearted story delivers emotional depth without getting too angsty. Add in snappy dialogue and laugh out loud moments, and romance fans will be well pleased.”—Publishers Weekly

“My Darling Bride by Ilsa Madden-Mills is a captivating romance that breathes fresh life into familiar tropes. The story follows Emmaline Darling, an unconventional car thief who swipes a Lamborghini from football star Graham Harlan while escaping her dangerous ex-boyfriend in the desert. Madden-Mills skillfully combines elements like fake marriage and unlikely couples, infusing them with originality and engagement.”—Lost in Bookland

Savannah Peachwood and Sebastian York were phenomenal in this dual narration!! Savannah has a voice so smooth and gentle, it’s like butter melting on hot toast. I could honestly listen to her all day. Sebastian was incredible with the way he narrated the different voices. I adored listening to them both and thoroughly enjoyed this story!

The narrators were fabulous!! I have found some new favs ✨

I loved the story and the humour. The female actor was good however the man (Sebastian York?) sounded like he was reading and infomercial which kind of ruined it for me.

a game of 2 halves

Love these narrators and they really brought this book to life!!!
Emi and Graham's story is full of witty banter, laughter, friendship, family, tension, inner turmoils, undeniable chemistry, emotional moments and so much more. Will Graham realise what's important before it's too late?...

Brilliant book
