About this listen

Fake engagement. Real marriage. Both have an expiration date in this spicy marriage of convenience romantic comedy standalone from #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely performed in duet by Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin!

“Marry me.”

They were the last words I expected to say to my fake fiancé, but I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t back down from a challenge. Pretend I’m engaged to my gorgeous and talented business partner to secure a business deal?

No problem. Agree to a no-touch rule even though she’s been driving me wild since I met her?

Challenge accepted.

Resist grinning like a damn fool every time that same big-hearted, sunshine-y woman laughs with my little daughter?

Done. So, yeah, when my fake fiancé’s vindictive business rival threatens to expose our make-believe romance, I can handle that too. I’ll prove our engagement isn’t fake – by marrying her for real. A marriage with an expiration date at the end of the year.

But that’s when I run smack dab into the biggest challenge ever – not falling madly in love with my wife.

Really enjoyed it, the sexy scenes were steamy enough to get me in the mood, and the overall story was really good.
Great writing.

A great narration pairing. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline, single parents melt my heart. I had a great time listening to the characters go from fake to falling and Gage's dirty talk was something else. Sweet and steamy in all the right places.

A fun listen

This was a just wonderful book to listen to!! A fabulous, funny, spicy romance. No angst, no third act break up, just more and more fun and romance all the way through. Plus of course plenty of Lauren's trademark spicy bedroom scenes 🌶🔥
All of this AND Duet Narration from two Masters of their Craft. What's not to love? ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Such a Happy Listen! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lauren Blakely has done it again. Gage and Elodie’s banter and chemistry is soo good. Their daughters and his grandma add a lot to the book and it wouldn’t be as good without them. Feeling oily is my new favourite sentence to use when…. Sorry no spoiler, you’ll need to read/listen. 😉
Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton smashed this audio. Their voices are amazing.

This book has so many goodies, it’s hard to pick my fave! The love, the chocolate, the family, the drinks, the fake engagement turned real marriage of convenience turned love, the playing with toys, it was all so good!

So good!
