About this listen
Quentin Davenport is my ex-boyfriend’s father ...
And my new marriage of convenience husband
When my boyfriend leaves me at the altar
Quentin offers to marry me!
No way can I accept it,
Especially since Quentin is much older than me
He's a tall, dark and tattooed former Marine,
Whose grumpy disposition leaves much to be desired.
But this way I can salvage my dignity...
Also, I can get back at my ex.
Besides, it’s a fake marriage.
So there’s no fear of developing feelings... right?
When he offers to put my younger sister through college....and pay for my father’s medical treatment.
I can’t refuse him.
Only he has conditions:
I must live with him, as his wife.
I must pretend to be his.
I must convince his family that I love him.
Living under the same roof as man and wife, I see a different side of my husband.
The pretend marriage begins to feel very realI begin to dream of a future with him.
I am going to get my Happily Ever After...
But what happens when I walk into his office and see him with the mother of his son...?
This is a marriage of convenience, ex-boyfriend's father, forced proximity, billionaire romance, with an HEA. There is no cheating, no OW/OM drama, and no third act breakup.

Story
Nathan Davenport, CEO of the Davenport empire, is my complete opposite. He hates chocolate. I'm a size sixteen dessert chef. He only wears black. I love glitter and pink. He's grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life. Too bad his piercing eyes, and high cheekbones, haunt my dreams. When he offers to loan me the money to save my bakery, I have no choice but to agree.

He's my brother's best friend... And completely out of bounds... One look from Nathan Davenport makes my heart stutter. Six feet three inches of pure muscle with stormy blue eyes that see right through me. He's everything I've dreamed about since I was sixteen. And snuck glances as he trained with my brother in our backyard. Not that he noticed... He’s the decorated Royal Marine who commands every room he enters. I'm the curvy girl who hides behind textbooks and oversized hoodies. He’s the definition of off-limits–my brother's best friend,...

The only thing that sucks worse than his attitude is his (lack of) sense of humor! Honest. Sadly, he's also the one who could save my business from going bust. Hell!

Story
I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

It's the dog's fault, really. If this untrained Great Dane I'm walking had any manners at all, I never would've ended up here: With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it. (Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.) He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

I hate my boss. Like, loathe him. Two years ago, he semi-broke my heart and he still doesn’t remember who I am. Okay so I was covered in electric blue body paint, and wearing a wig, but is that a good excuse to not remember the girl you said was your destiny? Now I’m stuck working for the jerk because only he can give me the job I really want—manager of his hotel. When he needs a fake fiancé for business reasons, there’s an easy solution—blackmail. He has to give me a trial run as hotel manager in return for wearing his ring.

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be. I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here. I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room. But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him. At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. But things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.

It’s not easy being a woman working in a male dominated field. Add in the fact that my uncle owns the baseball team I work for, and proving I belong here is a constant battle. Dating a player was never an option. Not if I wanted to keep a shred of dignity and respect. Then Ronan Sinclair sits down next to me in first class with his alluring blue eyes and hard-to-resist dimples. To say nothing of his kindness and charm, or his determination to convince me that a steamy vacation fling is what we both need.

Emmett Lasker is impossible to work for. He might be model handsome and stupidly wealthy, but he also has it out for me. He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

Story
Nathan Davenport, CEO of the Davenport empire, is my complete opposite. He hates chocolate. I'm a size sixteen dessert chef. He only wears black. I love glitter and pink. He's grumpy, while I look on the brighter side of life. Too bad his piercing eyes, and high cheekbones, haunt my dreams. When he offers to loan me the money to save my bakery, I have no choice but to agree.

He's my brother's best friend... And completely out of bounds... One look from Nathan Davenport makes my heart stutter. Six feet three inches of pure muscle with stormy blue eyes that see right through me. He's everything I've dreamed about since I was sixteen. And snuck glances as he trained with my brother in our backyard. Not that he noticed... He’s the decorated Royal Marine who commands every room he enters. I'm the curvy girl who hides behind textbooks and oversized hoodies. He’s the definition of off-limits–my brother's best friend,...

She’s in the wrong place at the right time...Gunshots echo, reverberating through me, allowing me to feel something...anything other than the pain that consumes me. That should be a warning to stay away, but for some reason, she comes closer. Intruding on my silence. Sharing my darkness. Close enough for me to see the look in her eyes. It’s not fear, but desire that darkens her eyes in the moonlight. She should run. Run far away from me, but she never does. She comes close enough to touch, tempting the devil inside that wants to cause devastation for the loss I’ve suffered.

Griffin Martin's the biggest jerk in the emergency department and I'm stuck working with him. No one else will have him. Behind his back, we call him Doctor Delight, and that's not a compliment. I can't lose this job, but he tried my patience and finally, when I'd had enough, I stood up to him. In front of everyone—the chief physician, the nurse in charge, and patients everywhere. What does he dare to do? He doesn't fire me. Instead, he pursues me.

I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

The Ivanov family exudes wealth and power, so when its founder shows up on the surgical roster of a third-year resident, even with me not laying eyes on her previously, I’m thrust under their spotlight. Her son’s, to be precise. Maksim Ivanov is a walking red flag. He oozes confidence, and appears to have never been told no, but despite our differences, sparks ignite the moment we trade sultry glances. The tension is white hot. I’ve never experienced such an immediate mutual connection. But as quickly as his mother was placed under my care, she is removed.

Bottom line: It's nicely enjoyable; great narration.
Vivian is a jilted bride who was going to marry her best friend for (as yet) unknown reasons. When the bridegroom doesn't show up, his father proposes marriage to Vivian and our story begins.
I had mixed feelings about the book. The writing is great with wonderful dialog and nicely steamy scenes.
The narration is great! I love the dual narration ❤️.
The storyline was good, but a bit too angsty for me. He was all "'I need to win her at all costs' but then 'I'm not good enough for her'" and she was "I'm desperate to get him back but once I do, I need space". Overall, I think if you like steamy contemporary romance with miscommunication, you'll like this one but I don't feel like it is a standout book that will stick with you for years.
Bottom line: It's nicely enjoyable; great narration.

Imperfectly perfect
The imperfect marriage was anything but, imperfect. In fact, it was so good. Quentin offers Vivian an out when his son leaves her at the alter. Does Vivian take him up on the offer? Older man + younger woman, contemporary romance, fake relationship, beautiful and so worth the read.

Sweltering Steamy Age Gap Billionaire Marriage Of Convenience Romance!
"...from the moment I saw her, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. Not even the fact she was going to marry my son stopped me from wanting her. And when I realized Felix had stood her up, I seized the opportunity. At my age, you don’t wait for the right moment. You know that these feelings come around but once in a lifetime; so when you feel this strongly about a woman, you don’t hesitate. You claim her, and keep her, and worship her, and take care of her, so she never wants for anything. It also means, you protect her with everything you have."
Quentin never stood a chance as he watched Vivian walk down the aisle to marry Felix...his son. He fell hard. He fell fast. When Felix doesn't show up, he grabs his chance and proposes to Vivian.
Only the up for anything, don't dare me, I'll do it, sweltering steamy romance author L. Steele would start her age gap billionaire marriage of convenience romance, The Imperfect Marriage, with this wild premise.
Vivian needs money for her family. Felix, her best friend, from a rich family, says he loves her. She's devastated when he stands her up at the altar but that doesn't mean she can marry his father...or can she?
I love a dual narration and voice actor Shane East delivers as the older, sexy, drool worthy, dirty talking Quentin. The sweet innocent performance of voice actress Stella Hunter enhances Vivian's strength to fight for Quentin when he believes he loves her too much to keep her in this unconventional relationship.
Switching between reading and listening to this angsty romance gave me better insight into Quentin's struggles with guilt as a former soldier, an absentee father, and his need to marry. A standalone, book 2, of The Davenports, is a perfectly imperfect romance.
I received a copy of this book/audiobook from Hambright_pr for a fair & honest review. All opinions are my own.

“As soon as I saw you, I knew it had to be you."
The marriage of convenience between Quentin and Vivian in The Imperfect Marriage explodes with sparks from the very first time their eyes meet when Vivian is walking down the aisle to another man. The other man just so happens to be Quentin’s son and this emotional and angsty story just gets more complicated and heartwrenching from there.
Vivian had always put her family before herself and when she meets Quentin, he starts to encourage her to expand her horizons and to live for herself. I loved watching her blossom throughout the story from a naïve young woman to a self-assured and confident woman who knows what she wants.
Quentin was growly, possessive and so determined to make Vivian his. From the moment, he laid eyes on her, she spoke to his heart and she knew she was the one for him. Self-doubts and past pain create barriers in their relationship that they have to overcome, but these two truly understand each other and make each other better with their love for one another.
Shane East and Stella Hunter's duet narration of this title was superb. I loved how they played off of each other and brought extra spice to the flirty banter. They gave me all the feels as Quentin and Vivian and made me love this story even more.
While Quentin and Vivian’s journey is full of ups and downs, their chemistry is pure FIRE and the banter between them is so much fun. Full of heartbreaking events, angst galore, and so much love, The Imperfect Marriage was an addicting read that had me captivated with Quentin and Vivian’s evolving relationship. Now I’m on pins and needles waiting for the next book in this series.

Fascinating story!
Vivian has been unceremoniously dumped at the altar, in a text message sent to the best man, so Quentin, the father or the groom, offers to marry her. He has an ulterior motive since his father is handing the company over to one of his heirs upon the contingency that he's married. Quentin is 26 years older than Vivian, but it often becomes an impediment in Quentin's inner thoughts. The author has used this basic template for many of the books in this series. It makes sense, because it's a series with an ongoing arc contributing to the depth of the story. The women are mostly insecure at the start and the men have the power, but as the story continues, there's a unique exchange in which the men aren't alpha, they become alphaholes! The conflict is almost always a push and a pull with the alphahole saying this is not going to work or I'm not good enough for her. And the women almost always go bada$$ on their men, but it's still a while before they make up and profess true love. This story was heavy on the sex to the extent that there was little plot. It might sound like I didn't like the book, but that would be a wrong assumption. With only a few things that were annoying, I truly liked Vivian and Q. Shane East and Stella Hunter are a wonderful team of narrators. Their 5* dynamic voices fit the characters so perfectly and put heart and personality into their work.

BDSM
This author writes mainly BDSM. Anyone who has been in a controlling or abusive relationship should avoid this author. Otherwise her books are good examples of the genre at an attractive price. She has several anthologies available at present. For light fantasies they prove an excellent escape from everyday life, but you must be prepared to enjoy dom/submissive relationships.

Quinton and Vivian
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s the second book in the Davenport series and tells Quentin and Vivian’s story.
The characters are well drawn and likable and brought to life by Shane East and Stella Hunter who do an incredible job of bringing every emotion to the fore. The side characters are interesting too and it was fun meeting again the characters from the first book in the series.
I’m looking forward to listening to the next story in this very enjoyable series
It’s an age gap marriage of convenience love story the chemistry shared between Quentin and Vivian is off the charts as Quinton a.k.a. Q introduces Vivian to the BDSM lifestyle once they are married.
