About this listen

In a sizzling romance that sparkles with wit and depth, two wounded souls meet by chance in the desert and agree to get married, and their lives will never be the same.

On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isn’t a car thief. She’s just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when she’s stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football player’s Lamborghini and speeding away.

Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now he’s promised his brother he’ll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isn’t even seeing anyone.

Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or I’ll press charges.

Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.

As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?

“Truly the stuff of which Hallmark Move Channel rom-coms are made…a fun listening experience from start to finish. Superbly narrated by the professional team of Sebastian York and Savannah Peachwood…especially and unreservedly recommended.”Midwest Book Review

“This lighthearted story delivers emotional depth without getting too angsty. Add in snappy dialogue and laugh out loud moments, and romance fans will be well pleased.”Publishers Weekly

Worth the credit

This story starts out with a unlikely meet cute that snowballs into a much bigger deal. Emma and Graham don’t seem to have much in common, on the surface, but things have a strange way of working out for these two.

My Darling Bride

I loved the personalities of the characters and their interaction . The events of the story were exciting . Once I started the story, I couldn't stop until it was completed. The premonition of meeting G's "one and only" during his near death experience, was the reader's warning of what was to come. This story was unforgettable and the happy ending was a great "high" for me as a reader. I will probably want to read this again . The one thing that detracted from the story was the excessive use of the word f... . They didn't add to the telling of the story at all. I checked the narrative or sentences , leaving out the excessive cuss word and they were just as powerful without it. To be an adult does not equate to bad language to emphasize a point. An occasional explicative is OK but the author didn't seem to know when to stop using them. If the reader is not offended with excessive language and explicit sex scenes you will enjoy this story and I can recommend it as a great read.
