About this listen
What do you do when you find out your step-sister is taking “something borrowed” to a whole new level by borrowing your groom for a quickie?
What any other rockstar in her right mind would do. Run out on the wedding, slamming right into a six-foot-three solid wall of muscle.
Blake White. Pro hockey star. The kind of hot that scrambles your brain and the kind of grumpy that flash freezes the sun.
Reluctantly, he agrees to give me a hiding spot in his remote cabin.
I don’t want to end up in one of your sappy love songs, he warns and tries to keep his distance.
But again and again, he fails miserably.
Soon enough, we’re spotted by the paparazzi. And when all hell breaks loose, he offers me a way out.
I’ll be your fake boyfriend. But as far as I’m concerned, we’re already as real as it gets.
I just have to figure out a way for him to admit it.

Story
I just married the hockey league’s hottest player. Only catch? He has no idea. I never meant to hitch Ken Edwards. OK. I totally did. I just wasn’t planning on him finding out. It was a desperate move to save my restaurant, but now he’s onto me and refusing to play along. Between his scorching looks and my traitorous hormones, keeping things strictly business is like trying to diet in a chocolate factory.

A little white lie never hurt anyone . . . or so I thought. One fake date and we’d go our separate ways, at least that’s how hockey’s hottest golden boy—Nixon Sinclair—convinced me this would work. But it turns out, Nix had other plans. Now I’m sneaking around with my brother’s teammate, refusing to admit he’s everything I want but never knew I needed.

The hottest rock star in the world walking into my work wasn’t on my bingo card. Speak of the devil . . . My soon-to-be ex-husband. Shane Faris is taller than I remember. Scruffier. More attractive than ever and sporting a sinful smirk that tells me he hears “Yes” too much. Figures. He offers me the divorce I want, but on one condition . . . Two nights together, for old times' sake.

After a sizzling, sheet-clutching first experience of my dreams, we exchange numbers and a plan to extend our undeniable connection into something more.

Story
My whole life, I've come out on top. One of the finest players ever to grace the NHL? Check. Most prolific playboy with an enviable reputation between the sheets? Check. Award for the cockiest athlete in America? Also, check, and well deserved I'd say. So why does my life feel anything but the perfect image I project? And why won't the one woman who came crashing into my life and knocked me on my six-foot-four ass take me seriously?

He thought I was his—that's what his emails indicated. He thought that because our families signed on the dotted line many years ago, it was a done deal. But I ran away from that life for a reason. Little did I know, he would find me. And he wasn't going to take no for an answer. Crue wanted me to be his wife. And all I wanted was him in my bed.

Story
A wild romp at a masked party should have no consequences. Save for my walk of shame the next day...all the way to labor and delivery. Seven years later I'm a single mom, writing an article on the hockey league's biggest heartbreaker. He's cocky, captivating, and intent on scoring with me. I really didn't think we would get this friendly this fast. And that's when I recognize the unusual birthmark on his thigh. The one I noticed on my mystery man seven years ago. The same one I see on my son every single day.

A couple of weeks ago, I read Britney Spears’ memoir. So it was interesting to me to read this book, with a pop star FMC whose father is her manager. Especially when he set her up and made her look mentally unstable. So that if she fired him, he would control the narrative and could potentially get legal and practical control over her through a conservatorship. This really resonated with me because of Spears’ autobiography and how it happened to her (her father alleges that Spears is mentally ill while Spears maintains that, although she had postpartum depression, she is not and has never been mentally ill. She alleges that her father used her postpartum depression to get control over her in a conservatorship which lasted 13 years). This made Faye’s actions understandable. I really felt for the character. And I was rooting for her for the whole book. This was a good book because it kept me interested, connected me with the main character, and made me think. The only thing I didn’t like about it was that Blake’s resistance to love made him pretty unsympathetic and difficult to empathize with. I liked the ending, though, and Blake did redeem himself somewhat.

The characters are likable and well-developed, featuring a tough yet endearing hero and a strong female lead. Hot chemistry and engaging story full of emotional twists.
I’m fairly new to audible books but a veteran text to speech kindle reader/listener. I don’t like the reader speaking in a deeper voice to imitate a man.

Faye has lived a lie most of her life, from her "great" love for her fiancé to her bubbly love songs that top the charts. Though, when she sees her fiancé and step-sister in a compromising position (and her father glossing over this incident), she finally decides to take control of her life. This takes her on a one-way collision course to run into a certain hockey player who doesn't believe in love (and who finds pop music annoying).
Faye was a fun character to get to know. She had her life managed by her dad, so she's on a journey to get out from under his oppressive thumb. She has a hidden strength and I loved when she finally showed the world her true stuff!
Blake played the part of grump well! He was unhappy, abrupt, and didn't shy away from cutting remarks. There were times where this did get a little tedious, but it's definitely worth persevering through. I do like his character growth in the story more than Faye's, probably because he has more baggage to overcome.
I really enjoyed Blake and Faye together! They had fun banter and some great chemistry!
This story gave of Taylor and Travis vibes with a dash of Britney and her dad as well. The conservatorship addition seemed a little weird since it'd take more than running away from your wedding to have someone be put in charge of your life/welfare. I liked the Taylor/Travis vibes because they were done better in the story.
This book is actually in a series and I didn't know that going in, but it didn't detract from the story and I was able to enjoy it all on its own. I wasn't confused by any characters and had fun listening to it.
I liked the narrator! She is a new-to-me narrator and I'd definitely listen to other books by her. She did a good job differentiating between the different characters. The story is told in dual POV, and she differentiates her narrating voice from Faye's chapters to Blake's chapters, and I quite liked that because it was an obvious indicator of whose chapter it was. I listened at 1.2x speed.

When you are a Pop star, sometimes your life isn't your own.
That sure is the deal with Faye and the relationship she has with her family and the man she was supposed to marry.
Meanwhile, Hockey player Blake doesnt believe in love and despises Faye.
This is definitely an opposites attract situation.
I enjoyed how AJ wrote this book and the narrator that played the parts was perfect!
Another great listen from AJ.
