About this listen

Duet narration by Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker

Now a number one Amazon Kindle store best seller

When Luca Windsor's secretary suddenly quits her job shortly after his family forces him into an unwanted engagement, he sets out to solve both problems.

By secretly marrying his secretary, Valentina, instead.

The rules are simple:

  1. Don't fall in love
  2. Keep their marriage a secret at work
  3. Share a bed every night

It was meant to be a straightforward and mutually beneficial deal, but with each day that passes, it becomes clearer to Luca that the one thing Valentina wants is the only thing he can never do:

Letting her go.

Publisher's Note: Each book in the Windsors series features a different Windsor sibling, and as such, each book can be listened to as a standalone. The Temporary Wife contains a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cheating.

Negative review about this audiobook, pffttt. C’mon duo narrations by the elite is like a GIFT! It’s excellent, as I knew it would be. The story itself is exactly what I hoped for - angst, a strong FMC, a MMC who is an absolute simp for his woman. Yeah…sit back and enjoy this one. I know I did.

If I hear one…

I absolutely love this book so much from start to finish. Catharina Maura you are a mad genius, and I absolutely loved every second of it. I wish I had read or listen to your books sooner. Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker both of you made this book come alive for me. Stephanie you are a new narrator to me, but from now on, I am one clicking your audiobooks that you’ve narrated. This book only took me like two days to listen. I cannot wait to see what the future brings for all three of you beautiful people.

Phenomenal!!!

JOEEEE ARDEN!

Ughhh. This man could read me the back of the cereal box and I’d give it 5 stars.

The story was good…the narration was TOP TIER. Both narrators did a phenomenal job. I don’t do a lot of audiobooks but the fact that this was done as a true duet narration sold me and I’m so glad I gave this story a try!

This is enemies to lovers, he’s her boss and they can’t stand each other, marriage of convenience so he can gain his inheritance, she gets her family taken care of, and super spicy! Like holy crap, Luca had me blushing and I don’t blush from books often.

So good! Only reason it wasn’t a 5 star is that Valentina kind of annoyed me at certain parts…I know it’s to provide drama and what is the story if she dived into the relationship without holding back, but the constant “he doesn’t love me” “he can’t love mewhen he’s quite literally throwing buckets of love right into her face, drove me insane…and the number of times Luca said she drives him insane or mad. That was repetitive.

Joe could read me a cereal box and it would be 4-5 stars!

just perfect, love the vulnerable yet strong FL that stands for herself and a ML supportive and crazy over his wife and with COMMUNICATION in the relationship. Best time spent and one of the best book i've read. love that they are sincere about their feelings ( most of the time) and don't get me started about their intimate time 😏 . Literally i wish there were more stars to give

perfection

The FMC story line is annoying, her being upset at Luca over something that could have been resolved in 3 seconds, she is so insecure, and doesn’t believe Luca really wants her even though he kept telling her he couldn’t let her go🙃🙃🙃 Anyway
The Narrators were awesome 🤩

FMC 🤦🏾‍♀️

Awesome book

I freakin love Catharina’s books so much. And this one was no different. So many emotions when I listen or reading at the same time too and she always picks amazing narrators. I Love Luca & Valentina together! The tension & chemistry was 🔥. If you haven’t read this series do it! I’m excited to read book 3. Definitely recommend.

So good 🌺
