About this listen

From USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a witty romance about a woman desperate to marry into money…and her fake marriage to a (real) billionaire reluctant to commit even to a zip code.

Riggs Bates may be a billionaire, but he knows money can’t buy happiness. He keeps his financial status a secret and takes his women the same way he takes his meals—a different one three times a day. That’s until he’s caught sleeping with a married newswoman by none other than her ambitious assistant.

Daphne “Duffy” Markham wants two things in life: marry well and stay in the States. So when her almost-fiancé takes off to “find himself” and her work visa approaches expiration, Duffy resorts to the only thing she has left—blackmail. Luckily, Riggs needs an excuse to stay in New York as badly as she does, so their first meeting quickly leads to a begrudging engagement.

Armed with strict house rules and their mutual distaste for one another, Riggs and Duffy soon find there’s no denying the spark between them…or the fact that this fake marriage is starting to feel a little too real.

I was in the mood for romance and this was as expected. Similar to other LJ books. Thrilling, funny and dramatic.

Great!

This book is probably the best of the series. Only he's not cold hearted. Riggs is everything!!
I wasn't sure anything could surpass the Boston Belles series but this book rounded out a beautiful storyline. I love the creativity and background of the characters. I believe the slow burn is worth the ending.
I've read everything from L.J. Shen and I believe the voices used didn't do this amazing story justice. Why does the female's version of Rigg's accent sound like he's from Yonkers but the male voice (Tor Them) sound completely midwest-American? His voice is also a very poor and distracting representation to Duffy as well. From now on, L.J. Shen stories deserve the duel interpretations where voice actors read both parts within different point of views. Her writing deserves better.

LJ Shen Stories Deserve Better Readers

The story itself was enjoyable, and the narration was good up until the point of the male lead trying to do a female voice. That was horrible. I think he was trying to compensate for the female lead being English, but if failed miserably. I gave the performance a 3 because both the normal voices were very good, but male try to speak female spoiled it for me.

Cute story

I absolutely loved this book! It was a wonderful blend of humor and emotion, and the writing was top-notch. The female narrator delivered a great performance, especially with her English accent, and did a solid job with the American accent too. However, the male narrator's English accent was not good, which was disappointing given that one of the characters was British. This mismatch affected the overall experience for me. Despite that, the book still stands out as one of the best I've read in the romance genre, even with its simple story. Highly recommend it!

I really fell in love with this read, it had everything one could ask for and the witty parts were perfect. I laughed so hard at the comebacks, even tried to remember some to use in my everyday. Great performance, perfect writing; I couldn't ask for a better read.

One Great Read

I liked Duffy and Riggs’ story. It was a little hard to get into - I found the beginning slow but as it went on, it speed up. The characters developed nicely. I loved the Charlie story line. Overall, it was good. I did NOT love the narrators, that maybe why I couldn’t get into it.

Good
