About this listen

Breaking News: Rugby’s bad boy marries his best friend’s little sister.

If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era.

Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

The cocktail in my hand—similar to the one that got me into this situation—is the prettiest shade of pink. It’s almost the same color as the giant rock on my left hand. And instead of discussing an annulment, I’m considering a 90-day marriage of convenience to the man I accidentally married in Las Vegas.

Renn didn’t propose marriage. But he does deliver a proposal I might be unable to turn down.

USA Today and Amazon charts best-selling author Adriana Locke delivers a "spicy & sweet" forbidden sports romance with a marriage of convenience that will make you swoon!

Adriana Locke puts her own spin on brother’s best friend, marriage of convenience sports romance and I love, love, loved everything about it. Adriana Locke is a gifted author with a wonderful writing style and her stories are original and captivate your attention from beginning to end. The characters are the stars of her stories, they are relatable and easy to connect with; they are who you would want to be friends with and more. Blakely Evans is celebrating her thirtieth birthday with her best friend Ella St. James in Las Vegas. Blakely knows what she wants in life and now that she is hitting her thirties, it is time she finds someone to settle down with, but first it is time to celebrate her birthday. Then her brother Brock, with his best friend and rugby teammate, join them in Vegas and move them to their suite, Renn’s suite. Renn is a player and non-commitment type of guy, everything Blakely does not want a man, yet she secretly crushes on him. Because of the best friend rule, Blakely was off-limits to him, but a part of him always felt drawn to her. Ella and Brock left the two on their own and they had a blast, so much so they wound up married. Renn, who always had little trust in women, wonders if they are dating him for his money or fame, instead of who he is as a person. Except he does not feel that way about Blakely and because of the way things are with his team and his Dad he thinks it is better to stay married. He offers Blakely something she really wants, and she accepts his offer, so they agree on a ninety-day marriage of convenience. With the perfect balance of drama, romance, family drama, angst, heartfelt emotions and steamy romance, there is never a dull moment in this beautifully plotted story.  The character growth and development is phenomenal, as is her world building and the dynamics of the relationships she builds. Speaking of dynamics, I hope this book is the start of a series, the Brewer family series, because Renn’s siblings and mom need their own books. Adriana Locke, thank you for another amazing story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧And for the fabulous narration performed by Avery Caris and John Lane, who brought each character to life with a complete understanding of who they were portraying, giving each a voice that was fitting and believable. Lane nailed it as Renn, swoon worthy with the right amount of self-assured confidence without going overboard or seeming arrogant. Caris Blakely was spot-on, grasping her strength and independence perfectly. Both were just as amazing performing the roles of secondary characters, too. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

Renn and Blakely's brother's best friend romance is sweet, cute, and heartwarming. Renn is very handsome! Blakely is beautiful, sweet, and smart. This is a great forbidden sports romance. The story is beautifully written. I liked the humor, and the family bonds in the story. Avery Caris and John Lane did an excellent job bringing this story to life. They are perfect as Renn and Blakely. I will listen to this audiobook again. Looking forward to listening to Foxx's story.

Great Forbidden Sports Romance!

This audiobook had a little bit of everything I love in my feel good stories. We have a good amount of banter between Renn and Blakely; a decent chunk of funny moments between not only them but with other characters; a good sassy and protective best friends, an older brother that loves his sister more than anything; great big family dynamics and a big Easter egg. That’s my favourite part!!! And of course this audiobook also had two brilliantly talented narrators in John Lane and Avery Crais. They added as much to the story as Adriana Locke’s writing. 5/5 perfect stars from me

I love a good accidental Vegas wedding and when combined with the brother’s best friend trope this was such a good book! I loved these characters so much! The chemistry and banter between Blakely and Renn was everything I love in a good romance. I could not put this book down and I really hope Brock and Ella get their own book!

John Lane and Avery Carls were perfect as Blakely and Renn. I loved listening to them voice these characters and bring this story to life.

Rating: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved these two so much!
