Story
Mr. Santillian, Despite the fact I'm currently living out of your guest room and sleeping with you most nights, I am writing to announce my resignation, effective two weeks from today. In other words, I'll locate someone who is both obscenely overqualified and willing to devote their days to the handful of tasks you are able to wrench from your perfectionist, micromanaging grip.

Story
Our marriage is a sham. I'm the first to admit it. Only privately, of course. Notorious playboy Luka Zoric needs a wife and the good PR it brings. I just need the career boost being his top model will give me. It's a win-win - on paper. But since when has real life been simple? His jealousy makes me crazy. The control he maintains over my body is unacceptable. I really shouldn't be so turned on by it. But there's more to both me and my husband than meets the eye.And it isn't long before I'm wondering - which of us has made the bigger mistake?

Morgan Barrett is off-limits. Why? Because she's my best friend's sister and insists that she isn't interested in a relationship. That didn't stop us from sharing one incredibly passionate night together. However, one night was not enough for either of us. I want more. She needs more. When we give in to the desire, something amazing happens. But can we keep the past from destroying the future we both desire?

The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar. Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born. Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day - when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.

The list of things I hate is short. Not even my soon-to-be ex-husband is on that list. Nope. I save only the worst of the worst, the crème de la crème, the absolute I cannot even for this list: black coffee, rude people, and Nathaniel Bradley. Which is why when my father informs me that he’s making Nathaniel Bradley his new business partner, and in turn, my boss, I flip out. I go into this knowing I’ll hate every second in his presence. Except the longer he’s around, the more I find myself staring at his lips and remembering the one time they were on mine.

Sometimes the most novel approach to love comes when we least expect it.... A lot can happen at a book convention, but for a conservative romance author like me, things remained fairly predictable. Until the unofficial king of smut crashed into my life, leaving sparks - and our luggage flying around us. I had never heard of the illustrious Gage Blackstone, but after two seconds in his presence, my mind was conjuring up scenes that wouldn’t make it into my sweet stories. He was worldly, gorgeous and his eyes promised naughty things to come. Things I never knew I wanted.

My love story all started with a letter. Only it wasn’t from the man I’d eventually fall in love with. It was from his daughter. A sweet little girl named Birdie Maxwell who’d written to the magazine that I worked for. You see, once a year my employer fulfilled a few wishes for readers. Only that column didn’t start up again for months. So I fulfilled some of her wishes myself. It was harmless…so I thought. Until one day I took things too far. While anonymously granting yet another of Birdie’s wishes, I got a look at her father.

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

I never thought I’d say yes to a fake date. Let alone with Julian Wright. But I’m stuck attending my perfect brother’s doctoral graduation, and I can’t suffer through another round of parental disappointment. Julian has to go to a charity function he planned with his ex-girlfriend. We both need a date. Yes, we shared one kiss in a darkened office to make his ex jealous. But it wasn’t real. Was it?
Summary
A sexy stand-alone arranged-marriage romance from USA Today best-selling author K.A. Linde....
I signed on the dotted line. A marriage contract to seal my union with the devil.
I thought I knew what I was doing. His money and name were mine for the taking. But Camden Percy always gets exactly what he wants. And what he wants is me - my body, my obedience, my surrender.
He wants to break me.
But I'm Katherine Van Pelt. I'll never break. I'll never beg. I'll never give in.
Except I promised him one more thing - a baby. A Percy heir. There's no way out of this one.
Either I comply or lose everything. Do I risk the husband I'm just learning to love, or is this my breaking season?

Nah!
This didn't rock my boat as expected.
The female narrator ( Erin Mallon ) lacked emotion, sounded robotic. The male narrator ( Sebastian York ) did as always a fantastic job. The plot however was overdrawn and yep the chick in my opinion is an overindulged brat.

Enjoyed it in the end
Almost gave up on this after a couple of chapters.
First the heroine comes across as a bit shallow at the start and I really didn't warm to her at first.
Second they're 1 year into their marriage already and you kind of feel you've missed out on loads in their relationship.
I was also put off by the fact he has a mistress, I don't like cheating, but actually go with it. You'll find all is not what it seems with that.
Get past the first few chapters, give it a chance and it's a good book. Plus read by 2 of my favourite narrators.

Miscommunications fraught with juvenile behaviors
This is my first book by K. A. Linde. Katherine and Camden’s relationship was fraught with miscommunication, misconceptions and juvenile behaviors, especially for a couple who were both in their mid to late thirties! So, I was shocked that they were actually able to go the distance and cement a mutually beneficial relationship. Because they had to contend with meddlesome outside influences, eating disorders and deceit, it it was surprising that they were able to overcome those obstacles and support one another in a successful relationship. Erin Mallon and Sebastian York were phenomenal narrators as always! Their performances were what enhanced my listening experience!

Romance with someone who had a mental illness
this is a book where i didn't want the main characters to get together. it tried some s:&m but failed. i was horrified on the day coming home from the hospital they had sex. when she was still having problems. and her body was under weight. the guys voice was good the girls voice often sounded like a commercial for car insurance and her version of a mans voice sounded strained and un attractive.

Kathryn and Camden
This was a pretty good book but I found the main characters, Kathryn and Camden, were very annoying people. This was a marriage of convenience where it seemed like most of the book, they were at each others throats. They acted like rich college kids with the drinking and partying. Camden's father was a true b@stard and very abusive. He eventually gets what he deserves. I am glad Camden's mother got away from him. For me, the ending felt a bit rushed. Erin Mallon did a great job with her narration, however, Sebastian York was outstanding as always!

Great story
I want to give the book a 3.5. I enjoyed this book and have read the previous books in the series however, I still struggled remembering all the characters from the previous books. Please don't misunderstand me, I still liked the book very much. Camden and Kathryn have a love/hate relationship. Their bantering is truly magical and these two really have something special together despite how their relationship started. They both have things in their paths that is dictating how they are in their current life and relationship. But they learn to support each other and not keep fighting to move forward in their lives, together.

Camden and Catherine’s story is chocked full of bad luck, timing, and distrust. Each one thought the worst of the other but eventually one decides to lay it all out there. But as always the HEA is there but paved in surprise

Read the first two books in the Series!
While I enjoyed this audiobook, I sometimes found Katherine a little too obnoxious and cruel. I am not saying that Camden didn’t deserve it most of the time, but right off the bat we find her very hateful and rude at the dinner with Camden.
The other thing I found that was annoying was the fact that the group of friends were still very cliquish even in the young adult years. You would think that would end in high school and college, but they were still all about looking their best and talking about being raised in the “upper east side”. I found it very juvenile. But, that’s my only negative thought about this book because I really enjoy the story beyond it.
Even though this was a standalone book, it is still part of a series so a lot of the actions of the characters besides the main ones didn’t make sense to me. I didn’t understand the relationship that Katherine had with Penn, and I didn’t understand the relationship that Camden had with Fiona. I think maybe if I had read the two previous books I might have understood the relationships among the group.
I did like the way Katherine changed by seeing beyond her self and helping others. Camden had a great change, too. It really was a good book, but I suggest you read the first two in the series before this one. I did love the best friend, Court. He has his own story which I am definitely going to check out.
Erin and Sebastian did a great job voicing the characters of Katherine and Camden. I really like the way Erin narrates, but her voice of the male character is a little hard to listen to. That’s pretty normal since it is difficult for a woman to talk like a man sometimes. I know I couldn’t do it. :-)

the characters are all amazing, and every minute you are pulled into kamden and Katherine's story.
there are times where you want to scream at he characters and times when you want to cry for them.
