About this listen

Christina Lauren, the instant New York Times bestselling and “reigning romance queens” (PopSugar), returns with a delicious new romance between the buttoned-up heir of a grocery chain and his free-spirited artist ex as they fake their relationship in order to receive a massive inheritance.

Anna Green thought she was marrying Liam “West” Weston for access to subsidized family housing while at UCLA. She also thought she’d signed divorce papers when the graduation caps were tossed, and they both went on their merry ways.

Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up. He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance. There’s just one catch.

Due to an antiquated clause in his grandfather’s will, Liam won’t see a penny until he’s been happily married for five years. Just when Liam thinks he’s in the home stretch, pressure mounts from his family to see this mysterious spouse, and he has no choice but to turn to the one person he’s afraid to introduce to his one-percenter parents—his unpolished, not-so-ex-wife.

But in the presence of his family, Liam’s fears quickly shift from whether the feisty, foul-mouthed, paint-splattered Anna can play the part to whether the toxic world of wealth will corrupt someone as pure of heart as his surprisingly grounded and loyal wife. Liam will have to ask himself if the price tag on his flimsy cover story is worth losing true love that sprouted from a lie.

Editorial Review

Take me to paradise
I’ve been on a rom-com kick this year (every year?), but no matter what my listening mood, Christina Lauren is always an auto-download for me. This time, the best friend writing duo takes us to a private resort in Indonesia, where the setting serves as a luxurious backdrop to a fake-relationship plot, layered with complex family dynamics, corporate greed, and artistic ambitions. The love story is, of course, swoon-worthy, but I really appreciated our heroine Anna’s journey to trusting both her own voice and talents. Patti Murin and Jon Root perform their third CLo collaboration, giving voice to Anna and Liam in a dual POV, and I’m already hoping the whole gang reunites on a sequel featuring some of the other characters. I recently got to interview the authors, and their passion reinforced both my love of them and of the genre. There is something so special about HEAs and the authors that get us there. — Katie O., Audible Editor

Good plot

Nice summer read with good plot. Vulgarity takes away from the overall storyline and seems unnecessary.

Great Rom-Com

Such a great back story on everyone, that is released slowly through the book. I loved it the slowly building romance. Buying many Christina Lauren books now.

Storyline is lovely

Feel good story but very predictable! Ending was slightly a cliffhanger for other characters as if there’s another story to follow.

Story was Great with a little bit of spicy

First book I’ve read by Christina Lauren and it was so good. It made me laugh, blush, and made my heart melt. This book needs a series because I was mad when it was done! We need to find out what happens to Ray! 10/10 definitely recommend reading or listening to this book!

So much fun!!!!

This book had me laughing out loud! It’s sort of like the movie Pretty Woman scenario of poor girl and a mega rich guy who has a very dysfunctional family with a beautiful island setting. I absolutely loved it!! Five stars! Narrators were perfect!
