About this listen

Fake engagement. Real marriage. Both have an expiration date in this spicy marriage of convenience romantic comedy standalone from #1 NYT Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely performed in duet by Teddy Hamilton and Vanessa Edwin!

“Marry me.”

They were the last words I expected to say to my fake fiancé, but I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t back down from a challenge. Pretend I’m engaged to my gorgeous and talented business partner to secure a business deal?

No problem. Agree to a no-touch rule even though she’s been driving me wild since I met her?

Challenge accepted.

Resist grinning like a damn fool every time that same big-hearted, sunshine-y woman laughs with my little daughter?

Done. So, yeah, when my fake fiancé’s vindictive business rival threatens to expose our make-believe romance, I can handle that too. I’ll prove our engagement isn’t fake–by marrying her for real. A marriage with an expiration date at the end of the year.

But that’s when I run smack dab into the biggest challenge ever–not falling madly in love with my wife.

Lauren, does it again! This audiobook made me laugh out loud, it’s sexy, swoon worthy, Beautifully written, and definitely a must read. Teddy and Vanessa were the perfect narrators to bring these characters to life. Thank you Lauren, for always bringing a smile to the readers.

Narrators Vanessa Edwin & Teddy Hamilton- so good!

I purchased the audiobook (duet style- my favorite!) on release day and enjoyed it so much! Lauren Blakely is always one of my favorite authors and I love the world she has created and am always excited to read or listen to one of her books. Elodie and Gage were such great characters! The chemistry and connection between them was instant and strong and so fun. It was a delight watching them join forces in business and in life too. I loved that there was no drama between the two main characters and it was a joy to watch their fake engagement/marriage of convenience turn into something undeniably real. Narrators Vanessa Edwin and Teddy Hamilton were just fantastic and honestly perfect in their performances.

Wow

I loved this sooo much! It has been my companion for the past few days and I grew madly attached to the characters. I started the series with this book but I’m definetely going back for the others especially the second audiobook since it’s also narrated by Teddy Hamilton!

Decent spice, feel good book

This book was okay, a good pallet cleanser but it wasn’t one of my favorites. Decent spice level, unique story line, easy listen

Weird duet

The duet narration is only when the MCs are interacting. All other interactions are in dual. This is the first time i have listened to this kind of setup. It's marked as duet so that's what i expected. Anyway, the story is cute and i love teddy plus it was on sale so it's not a very big deal. Just a heads up fo those who are addicted to duet narrations like me.

Loved this !

I fell instantly in love with Elodie and Gage. I loved their banter and their chemistry was on point . What made me love this story more was listening to it as well as following along. The narrators did a phenomenal job playing these characters and boy did I get a good laugh and blush during those steamy scenes. This was such a great book that left me with a smile on my face.

I ADORE Elodie & Gage!!!💋

Love love love Vanessa & Teddy in this one! They are two of my favorite narrators & they were perfect for Elodie & Gage!

I LOVED Gage & Elodie!! Their chemistry is off the charts, they are funny, sweet, spicy, & so so good together! They bring out the best in the other, & fully support the others dreams! And if you love when a man uses “my wife”, buckle up! It’s a favorite phrase of Gage’s😮‍💨

Elodie is bold, fun, sexy, & goes after what she wants. Gage is protective, sexy, sweet, romantic as heck, & just dang near perfect! Plus a man who sees the benefits of therapy, yes please!

This is a fun single parent, fake engagement, marriage of convenience story, that brings all the feels & all spice! 🔥
