About this listen

Straight-laced lawyer Kate Matthews always plays by the rules. But when her ex gets engaged and a big promotion is on the line at work, she blurts out that she has a new boyfriend. And now that she's proved she "has a life" outside of work, everything is perfect. Except for one teeny little detail - there is no boyfriend. And now Kate's liable for her little white lie.

Dominic Sorensen is hot, charming, and very definitely not Kate's type. But not only does Dominic want to help Kate renovate her home, he's also willing to play "boyfriend". All he wants in return is a little pro bono work for his sister. Now instead of Mr. Right, Kate has a delectable Mr. Fix-It-Right - and some unbelievable sexual chemistry. And if falling for Dominic is a breach of contract, Kate is guilty as charged.

Sweet and cute and ties up loose ends

Sweet and cute and ties up loose ends. Great book boyfriend. The heroine was a bit weak but found her backbone.

Cute easy story

This is my first time with this Author and Narrator. I found this story to be a cute and easy story to listen too. I thought Dominic and Kate had great chemistry. The outcome was pretty obvious but mostly because it is like most romance novels but getting there was still cute. I can see myself picking back up on the remaining books in the series at some point.

At best, it was boring.

The narrator was awful. She completely ignored the letter "T" or pronounced it as "D". The main character's name was Peyton. She pronounced it as "Peyun". Ther was more, but you can get the idea. I am Texan, so I'm not usually picky about pronuciation, but thus was bad.

Contains foul language

My idea of a "sweet" story should not have cursing. I counted over 30 conversations with cursing, including two "G.D.'s" At first, there was one or two per chapter, then it got worse around chapter 14. It ruined an otherwise good story. At least it was in the Escape package and didn't cost me a credit. Can't there be two versions of these kinds of books, the original and a "clean" one for people who like the story but not the language?

Narration frustrating

Narrator drops "t's" - unfortunately in words like Payton one of the characters, which sounds like "Pay-un" and eaten, "ea-un"etc. She doesn't do it with all words, but often enough to make me grind my teeth.

Sweet story

I enjoyed this book. Sweet story and a happy ending without explicit sex scenes. The one drawback was the male voice for the characters they all sounded a lot alike and sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference.

Lovely Story!

This story gives us 2 unlikely people who come together to make the perfect couple, but circumstances makes them jump many obstacles before both realize it. Loved it!!! Narrator good also would have been even better with a male narrator in addition but just the one did well.

Waste of time

i stopped listening with two hours remaining on the story. I just couldn't take anymore. The story is pretty flat and repetitive, there were only so many "she had a difficult day and was surprised to find him at home at the end of the day" that I could take.
Also, and more importantly, this is listed as "clean and wholesome" There is a lot of foul language and I never heard an actual sex scene but, there were plenty of sexual references and fantasizing from the characters.
My opinion is that this is a boring romance that definitely shouldn't be listed under "clean and wholesome"
If you're expecting something like a Jennifer Peel or Jenny Proctor. ...this is not it!
