About this listen

She needs a husband. He won’t let anyone else have her.

Ax Morgan has played many roles in my life: My brother’s best friend. The most notorious member of the Sebastian News Corp executive team. My enemy with benefits.

But my husband?

No thanks.

Our after hours scenes are simply a convenient way for me to blow off steam while I plot my exit from my toxic family’s company.

But when I need a groom so I can claim my inheritance, he presents me with a choice that’s more like blackmail—marry him, or he’ll sabotage me. So between the devil and the deep blue sea, I let the devil put a ring on it.

Turns out this is the role he plays best of all.

The worst part of pretending with Ax is how real it's starting to feel.

Now my future is in his hands. And if he finds out what I'm planning, he'll be the one with the impossible choice. Who loses everything—his best friend or his fake wife?

I absolutely loved Adley and Ax’s story in Brutal Bargain by Laurelin Paige. Adley is in need of a husband and Ax is not letting anyone take that role except for him. I truly enjoyed watching Adley and Ax evolve/grow into two people who are perfect for each other. Grandpa Irving plays a direct, funny, and matchmaker hand in Ax and Adley admitting they’re perfect for each other in their own “brutal” way. I most especially loved the times when both Ax and Adley allowed themselves to be vulnerable with each other to begin understanding each other so much more. I was surprised by so many funny, witty, and sweet moments throughout Brutal Bargain by Laurelin Paige. One of my most favorite moments is when Ax stands up and chooses his wife over his best friend. Also, I love all the nicknames that Ax develops for Adley, they are cute and adorable. I can truly say that by the end, which is soo good by BTW, I was so in love with Ax. In true fashion of an alphahole, Ax had changed so much he just made my heart so squishy with love for him. Rose Diorio and Ryan West bring Adley and Ax to life in your ears. They do a great job delivering all the feels to listeners. I really like that Brutal Bargain is told in duet narration. Laurelin Paige writes some of the very best alphaholes and Ax Morgan has earned his way to the top of my list tying with another alphahole (D.K.). If you like billionaires, close proximity, enemies-to-lovers, alphas, alphahole, and my wife genres then I think you’ll like Brutal Bargain whether you read or listen to Ax and Adley’s story.

Ax & Adley so very delicious!

Fan fu**ing tastic book. Axl and Addels were a wonderful book. This book was the best of the whole series. From beginning to end this book had the perfect amount of sex, fighting and company intrigue. Axl was the perfect amount of asshole sexy alpha. Just excited to see Hunter get his love story. Axl will be hard to top thou. The chefs kiss of an Epilogue also.

LOVED EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THIS BOOK

Great addition to the series. I especially liked that the narrators each spoke their lines regardless of which MC had primary responsibility for narrating the chapter

Loved it!

The banter between these two did it for me. So much sass from Adee and authority from Axe 😍 such a masochist for good romance. I love this Laurelin Paige you are amazing

I love that I already know the characters before the book starts. Blending the relationships in each book is chef’s kiss. Adley is such a spunky character & I already know her bc of previous books.

Adley is such a strong character within the Sebastian family & doesn’t question herself or think too much in monologue in intimate scenes. I had a hard time with connecting to Lena bc she had ADD & overthinks everything but grew to love her.

Narrators are fantastic and I really enjoy the narrators don’t attempt to speak the opposite gender’s parts per chapter. It gets cringey when that happens but not here. It’s cute (NOT ANNOYING) female, and deep male narrators. A++++++!!!!

Standalone, ok. Series 1-4 EXCELLENT!

Loved hearing both characters voices in the conversations between the two. The narrators did an outstanding job. Great story. I’m a huge Laurelin Paige fan. I’ve devoured her two book series in just this past month. She creates unpredictable scenarios and typically I predict everything ahead of time. I love the surprises :)
