About this listen

Marry me for one year. Payment: $1.2 million.

Hayden Somerset is convinced the ad is a joke, but he responds anyway because, hello, $1.2 million. He’s broke, living in a tiny apartment with two roommates, and exhausted from praying his ancient car survives just one more week. His skyrocketing rent and crushing student loans aren’t helping either. At this point, there isn’t much Hayden wouldn’t do for that kind of cash.

The ad isn’t a joke. Jesse Ambrose is absolutely serious. His father, the charismatic patriarch of a powerful Hollywood dynasty, has his eye on politics, and he’s counting on California’s liberals and progressives to elect him. But Jesse knows what his father believes when cameras and voters aren’t around.

As the election looms, he’ll do anything to force the man’s hand and show the public who Isaac Ambrose really is. Anything, including marrying a stranger, so his father will make good on his promise to disown Jesse if he ever takes a husband.

Now he just has to wait for his father to take the bait...and try not to accidentally fall in love with his fake husband.

Loved the ebook and listening to the audiobook was even better. The two narrators Michael Ferraiuolo and Greg Boudreaux who are some of my favourite narrators brought to book to life and complimented each other excellently.

Good plot. But nothing original. That's fine, I don't mind a cliche as long as it's entertaining.
Good narration.
I appreciate the fact that it wasn't just filled with sex on every page. That the two main characters had feelings and emotions.
I hate pure smut, and I wish there was a way to filter those out.
Having said that, I didn't fall in love the two main characters. Parts of their personality irritated me. But that's acceptable, I like flawed characters.
I would have given it 3.5. But since it's either a 3 or 4, I decided to give the story 4 stars.

Hard to rate this one. Would have been a 3.5

MM story. Overlong sweet well written drama of well meaning son to outrage bigoted father through marriage to a male. Like all well laid plans, this one ends with them getting well laid on their honeymoon despite this being outside the terms of the contract. Both males are beautifully narrated, which increased the atmosphere, intensity and gentle humour in the drama between the lovers and their families.

Good descriptions of the wedding, the houses and landscapes inhabited by the super-rich. No page after page of lurid sexcapades, just loving intercourse where necessary to bind and heat the story.

The HEA is not as you might expect.
