About this listen

Number seven in the entire Amazon store

He’s my best friend’s brother.

My new boss.

And now my fake husband.

Knight Warren. The country’s most sought-after heartthrob, and retired military vet, is my complete opposite. He's grumpy where I’m sunshine. Surly where I’m...happy-go-lucky. He’s the hardened ex-soldier. I’m still trying to find my calling. The only thing we have in common is that we both love his sister...who’s also my best friend. So when she asks me to help Knight find a wife, I can’t say no. Turns out he'll inherit his father’s empire as long as...he gets married within the next month.

I agree to work as his assistant and interview the women who apply for the position. But Knight hates every one of them. With the deadline drawing close, he proposes I marry him. In return, he’ll pay off my debts and take care of my mother’s medical treatment.

Only he has conditions—I need to pretend I belong to him, be in a fake marriage with him...for an entire year! But what happens when the chemistry between us ignites? Forced to live under his roof, I know I’m falling for him. As the days pass, I begin to think he reciprocates my feelings. Until he introduces me to his real wife....

This is a billionaire, forced-proximity, one-bed, boss-employee, fake-relationship, and a best-friend’s-brother novel. It is a complete stand-alone.

Knight Warren, former marine, hostage and a completely dominant alpha hole hero and Penny Easton, his sister’s best friend, submissive by nature and his new assistant charged with finding him a convenient wife. Now that’s an explosive relationship in the making and The Wrong Wife didn’t disappoint in this sizzling grumpy/sunshine, billionaire romance. There was scorching chemistry and sexual tension galore between the hero and heroine to the extent I almost felt my kindle heat up in my hands as I read. Their relationship veered to the BDSM end of the spectrum but was definitely more of a slowburn albeit with a lot of heavy foreplay. At times I did struggle with these characters. Knight was just nasty to everyone he came into contact with while Penny came across as being a bit of a Pollyanna type, always looking on the bright side but with a bad habit of saying anything that came into her head, no matter how inappropriate. As their relationship developed Knight did begin to change as he opened up to the realisation that he needed help. I did see the twist with him coming but perhaps that was because I’ve recently listened to another audiobook from this author where there were similarities, so it was fresh in my mind.

As usual a stellar performance from Shane East in his portrayal of the arrogant but broken Knight but as much as I loved him, the star of this audiobook must be Aure Nash. For me, her characterisation of Penny was spot on. When I read the book, her character had made me cringe at times with her verbal diarrhoea and Aure, for all she still made her sound annoying, she managed to imbue a sense of vulnerability into her performance of Penny that I hadn’t noticed in my read. I think this must be the first time I’ve changed my opinion of a character because of the narrator.

Fantastic performance from Aure Nash

I love Grumpy/Sunshine romance trope! Knight and Penny’s story is passionate, emotional, steamy, and engaging. Knight is a grumpy military veteran. Penny is a lovely character, feisty, and supportive. They are opposites attract and very perfect for each other. I liked the banter, the slow burn, and the sizzling chemistry. Shane East and Aure Nash did an excellent job bringing this story to life.

Emotional and Steamy!
