About this listen
A spicy, sassy, and swoony fake dating romantic comedy from Amazon Charts bestselling author Jennifer Millikin.
A week on an island sounds like the stuff of beach dreams, but for Paisley Royce, it's a nightmare. Her little sister is marrying her ex-college sweetheart, and Paisley is serving as maid of honor. To add insult to injury, nobody will let Paisley forget she's single.
Bachelorette weekend changes everything when she runs into her old college frenemy, Klein Madigan.
Klein is still intelligent and funny, and somehow time has only made him more attractive.
Paisley is Klein's one that got away, not that he'd ever admit it to her. A colossal misstep (and one terrible kiss) in college sealed their fate.
Or so they thought.
Klein's an aspiring author allergic to social media. Paisley owns a digital marketing agency.
A brilliant plan is hatched: A trip across the country for a week of faking out her family in exchange for her firm marketing his work.
One hastily scrawled and signed contract on a bar napkin later, Paisley and Klein embark on a journey of tension, only one bed, and fake dating shenanigans.
Paisleys goal is to survive the week.
Klein's plan is to enjoy the sun, sand, and wedding cake.
But then there's a scorching kiss to make up for that bad one in college.
And another kiss in a lighthouse during a thunderstorm. A gentle palm on Paisleys lower back, and a reassuring hand squeeze under the table.
Everyone is convinced Klein and Paisley are the real deal, but as the week wears on, they begin to wonder if the only people they're kidding are themselves.

Story
Charming and heroic, there’s nothing about Gabriel Woodruff that Avery Burke doesn’t love. His warm brown eyes, his generosity, that small scar above his lip. The newspaper photo of him carrying her from a burning home only adds to the romance of it all. A fairytale beginning and a picture-perfect marriage practically guarantees Avery and Gabriel a ride into the sunset. But every relationship has flaws, and what they ignored while they were busy being flawless eventually surfaces. The unraveling begins with the smallest tug on the tiniest string.

Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He's untouchable and desperate to turn it around. Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I'm not a twenty-year-old has-been.

That's right, after a lousy interview that could have changed everything for me, I headed over to the local small town bar to sulk when the one man I shouldn't want walked in.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Offering her a job without knowing her qualifications might not have been the greatest idea, but at least she wouldn't be working for the town's most troublesome resident anymore. All the excuses in the world weren't enough, knowing her son wasn't happy and her pocketbook was empty. What choice did she have but to say yes?

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

Love. Sucks. I don’t know where I went wrong. Whether it was letting a man convince me that suddenly, the things I’ve never wanted are right for me, or if simply believing the best in the person who I wasted three years of my life on was what lead me here.

Story
He proposed . . . and I said yes. Normally a jovial occasion for a couple in love, but this proposal has a very different feel. Because the man that I'll be calling my husband blew into town with one thing on his mind . . . to make my life a living nightmare. So why did I say yes? Well, because we both need something from each other. Namely, I want the farm land he currently owns, and he needs a wife in order to inherit his family cabin in his grandfather’s will. So as he so eloquently put it, my hand, for his land.

An amazing listen - full of fun, laughter and love
This is my first read/listen by Jennifer Millikin and I absolutely loved this story. I could not stop listening!! It’s funny, sweet, spicy and full of amazing tension. Paisley has been given an impossible job thanks to her thoughtless sister and rude family members. But she’s determined to make the best of it while having a little fun along the way. She is kind, sweet, sassy and determined to make it through the wedding. Klein is a delight…he’s kind, caring and funny. Once he gets his mind set on something he goes for it…including Paisley. Love how their relationship blossoms and they bring out the best in one another. The banter, overall dialogue and the spice!! Hannah Chiclana and Aaron Donahue delivered an amazing performance. They gave the characters perfect personality, voice and emotion. They had me laughing out loud many times with their amazing delivery. I’m looking forward to reading/listening to more books from Jennifer.

second chance swoon
When "the one that got away" meets fake dating and includes the one bed trope? I am immediately in! I marathon listened to this book because I just couldn't press pause!!
Paisley and Klein had a connection in college that ended with an awful kiss and some hurt feelings. Paisley quickly begins a with someone else and Klein ends up pining for her. Fast-forward to a chance reconnection during her sister's bachelorette party...oh and did I mention that Paisley's ex is the groom?...needless to say Paisley needs a date for the wedding festivities and she finds the perfect solution in Klein.
This gorgeous read is also hilarious! Like when her sister mistakes Klein for the *ahem* entertainment at her bachelorette party. I just LOVE when there is an angsty fake relationship, add in some quirky side characters and a one bed trope and it is a perfect recipe for me! I absolutely recommend this book!

I love fake dating!!
It’s no secret that I love fake dating so naturally I loved this book. 😂
Klein is the best fake boyfriend(turned real)! He is going down as one of my top book boyfriends of all time. I seriously adore him! 😍
Sweet Paisley deserves the world and more. There were so many times in this book I wanted to reach in and give her a big hug.
About the narration:
This book is narrated by Aaron Donahue as Klein and Hannah Chiclana as Paisley. Aaron is a new to me narrator and I thought he was the perfect Klein “Paisley Baby.” SWOON! This is the second book I’ve read narrated by Hannah and just like the first she did such a good job! She brought Paisley to life🥹
Paisley and Klein are so perfect! This book is available today so go grab it! 😍
Thank you VPR and Jennifer for the ALC

Klein is the epitome of if he wanted to he would.
I will be honest and say this book wasn't really on my radar at first. However, one of my friends said that this was a must read book and I couldn't really decide to what to listen to. I had an extra audible credit so said what the hell and just bought it. When I tell you that this book blew me away, that is not an understatement.
Klein and Paisley knew each other in college, but after an unfortunate incident they haven't seen or spoken to each other in years. On the night of her sister's bachelorette party she winds up in the bar that Klein is working on. Not wanting to go to the wedding by herself, she agrees to help Klein market his new book if he agrees to go to her sisters wedding with her. What's the worst that can happen.
This book sucked me in fro the get go. I was obsessed with Klein and Paisley! Though they have some struggles that they have to overcome in the past, it was extremely amazing to me the level of communication that these two had. Klein is the epitome of "If he wanted to, he would." The things he did in this book made me swoon SO HARD for him. I cannot even begin to express the love I have for these two and their relationship. Even though it was a short time on the island, their growth and relationship felt real and organic. Nothing felt forced and I loved it.
This book was so freaking good. I will recommend this to everyone I know. If you are in the mood for an honest to go just feel good book that makes you swoon but also sweat from some of those heat moments.. Yes, Yes,yes!

Such a fun read
I loved how pure the characters were. There was drama but it was never between the two main characters. They were on each others side the whole time and nobody sabotaged them! Such a feel good story and very entertaining!

A great listen
I enjoyed that this was a true duet narration. Meaning female characters were voiced by a female and male characters were voiced by a male. By doing this it takes my listening pleasure up a notch. I loved Paisley and Klein. Their second chance was instant chemistry, laughter and spice. The voice characters for this book were excellent. I didn’t want them to stop talking. I didn’t want this story to end. Get this audible book you will not be disappointed.

A Unique and Fun Beach Romance!
Paisley isn’t having the best day. She just checked her mail and got the invitation she was dreading receiving - the one asking her to be maid of honor for her sister’s wedding… to her EX. There’s no backing out of this one. Unfortunately. Things just keep getting better when she runs into her former college frenemy/drunken make out mistake, Klein, at the bachelorette party. 🤦🏼♀️
•
A few more unfortunate mishaps lead to Paisley and Klein hatching a fake dating scheme in exchange for Paisley’s marketing firm helping to promote Klein’s book. Truly, what could go wrong with this plan??
•
Klein and Paisley really were a perfect match for one another in this book! Klein gave me such Dan Humphrey vibes with his quick wit, funny one liners, and absolutely poetic way of viewing things around him, ESPECIALLY Paisley. 🥰 Paisley was such an endearing and relatable FMC. She struggled with family pressure and judgements, was a habitual people pleaser, and really just wanted to be happy while protecting her heart. And the narrators really did a perfect job of bringing these characters (and many meddling side characters) to life.
•
This book was so so well done - full of character growth, family drama and life lessons, and a fake relationship developing into so much more as the week goes on. I absolutely adored this story (yay for no third act break up) and cannot wait to continue enjoying Jenn’s books!

What an amazing read!!!
This book was such a fun read that had me feeling all the happy vibes. I seriously swooned so hard over Paisley and Klein. Their chemistry. Their banter. PERFECTION!! The overall sweetness and giddiness that this book brought me has me wanting to reread it over and over again.
What to expect:
🍰Second Chance(ish)
🏖️College Nemesis
💜Fake Dating
🍰One Bed
🏖️Close Proximity
💜No 3rd Act Breakup
When Paisley’s sister asks her to be her maid of honor, she can’t tell her no. Why should she tell her sister no…well I’m so glad you asked…because she’s marrying Paisley’s ex!!!! After running into Klein (her college nemesis) during the bachelorette party, a plan is hatched…fake date to help each other out.
Are you ready to add a new book boyfriend to your collection…Klein is the crème de la crème of book boyfriends! He is so darn lovable. He’s the perfect mix of vulnerable, cinnamon roll, and total alpha all rolled into one delicious package. I seriously love this man so much. The way he sticks up for Paisley will have you swooning so hard.
I am totally obsessed with this book and it’s definitely one of my favorites for the year.
