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.

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.

What happens when a trendy bar and an exquisite chocolate shop merge for a pop up business deal? Well for starters the two owners who are wildly attracted to each other swear they will not mix business with pleasure, of course they do, because business before pleasure, right? 33 year old Gage Archer, sexy owner of the hugely popular bar Sticks and Stones, and single dad to 11 year old Eliza is not looking for love, but when 30 year old chocolatier Elodie Starling, single mum to her 13 year old sister Amanda accidentally sends a package to herself at his bar, all bets are off. They instantly hit it off. Things are heating up, ideas are forming, and that’s when it suddenly becomes clear that they need each other’s minds more than they need each other’s bodies. Or do they? How can they keep their relationship clean when dirty talking, fun toys and indisputable chemistry are all in the forefront of everything they do and think? A super fun, super sexy, super romantic fake romance with a twist, a little drama, 2 adorable girls, and not forgetting a sweet, cheeky grandma. I was hooked. The audio version is narrated in duet by Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton - say no more - perfect. Word of advice. Make sure you keep your headphones tight on your ears if you’re in public. I received a complementary copy of this audio book. This is my honest review.


Super sexy feel good romance
